to the importance Of the question,
and 10 the necessity of.heing very
careful about our selection of d

best citizens should come forward
and take an interest in selecting
the next Mayor and CaQncil. The
writer has not il word To say
against any of he retiring mem-

good men, have performed their
duty creditably, and ifthey would
serve again could be reelected. /
understand however, that many

becomes important to get as good
men to fill their places. By all
means get good progressive men
who will push improvements and
not let them lapse into the condi--
zion of u5ste beitim times. There

We have been shown by the
Patentee, Mr.. George l.. Price, a
novel and useful invention, which
must come into general use in al
most every household. 1t is a
"Carpet Rag Looper, or in other
words an invention which does
away with the old and tedious
mode of sewing carpet rags. By
the use ofthis machine carpet rags
are put together without the use
of thread or needle. 1t saves Ia
Dor, time and expense in the prep
aration of rags for rag carpet. 1t is
simple durable and cheap, retailing
at LOO. We should think, from
an inspection of the invention,
that it would be one of the most
ready selling articles ever patented
Mr., Price, the patentee, is selling
county and state rights, and may
be seen for a few days, at the Ev-
erett House.
