TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
i the fist time in extended way, the f. f
(FAMILY FA VORTEX WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing-machinists, and by
them so pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1857
BECAUSE, 1t took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing achines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1889;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lock-stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand thus leaving Virginia and a great part of
the country unsuppied; and last, but not least,
to give woman's reason, .r #.
BECAUSE it is just a little darling and SO
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other frst-class machine.
Sold on the instalInent plan, if desired.
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free.
A history of the sewing-machine and an ao-
count of the great four weeks contest at Balti-
more, sent free on application.

q. HOME INVESTMENTS.
The Association is organized on the purely
mutual, or CO partnership plan. Each Slate is
created distinct department of the company
and the business placed under the management
OF board OF directors chosen from its own
citizens.
The language of the charter Is as follows:
The Board of Directors in each department
shall loan the money to be invested in said De-
partment.'
Section 81 also provides that "the met present.
value of the liabilities of the company under
policies issued TO members of each department
as fixed by the standard of valuation of the
company, shall be invested, and kept invested
within such department"
OF the wisdom and safety of the plan adopted
by the Association, the Hon. Elzur Wright, of
Boston, bears testimony as follows
AS the. true. theory of the reserve on any
policy is, that 1t is a savings bank deposit or
seltinsurance, applicable only to that particular
policy itself, when ii becomes claim. and only
needs to hayet principal secure and its interest
sufficient ii would not seem possible TO have it
invested too near the locality where that par
ticular policy will become claim"
To this feature of local representation and in
yestment, the Association largely owes its
UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES that guarantees as q chartered right
the principle of local management and local in
vestments in each State
The ONLY COMPANY which, by its charter,
gives to each State q representative in the
HOME BOARD OF DIRECTORS. 7a fr

"Western babarians" cannot pull China's
nose with the same impunity now as
twenty years ago, for "the Brother of the
Sun and Moon" is constructing q navy to
fight on modern and Christian principles.
China has already . feet Of twenty steam
ers, ranging in size from two to eight hum
dred tons, which are manned and differed
by natives, and employed principally in
watching the pirates who infest Chinese
waters. Other vessels of a similar style
are to be constructed, and an able Euro
pean naval architect has been engaged to
superintend the building of several first
class iron-elad frigates. Experiments with
terpedoes are also in progress, and when
we remember the wonderful genins which
John Chinaman displays in the fire-cracker
business, We may be sure he will out-tor-
pedo all the rest of mankind. The native
seamen and marines attached to the Chi
nese navy are being constantly drilled and
exercised by foreign instructors, and are
said to exhibit remarkable proficiency II
handling the tools of destruction. So, from
all appearances, the next nation which con
cludes to thrash China will find that there
are blows to receive as we'll az blows t.
