located in James street, Brooklyn, at

One a Einute.

One Of the largest buildings in the
United States is The Howe Machine
Factory. Its floors have an area of
three and one half acres or 100000
square feet. Here are turned out Six
Hundred Sewing Machines a day or
One a Minute, and even at this rate
the large demand cannot be supplied.
This indicates how the public appre-
ciate them and is strong proof Of su-
periority. AS the purchase of a Sew
ing Machine may perhaps be the act
of life time, care should be taken to
get the best.

Death en- the Train.

The train from Memphis last Fri
day evening bore the remains of Mrs.
B. p. Wall, who died on the train q
short distance beyond Brownsville, &C.
companied by her husband and four
little children, the Oldest six years and
the youngest one month old. They
were natives of Springville, Henry
county, but for the past four years
had been living in Searcy, Ark,
where consumption fastened with IA
tai grasp upon the woman. She felt
that she could only live a short while
and longed to die in the home and
among the friends of her childhood,
AID the little family left Searcy for
Springville the middle of last week,
with the result above stated. 1t was
a sad, sad spectacle to witness the
weeping husband and little children
gathered around the uncofined corpse.
The husband was in very destitute
circumstances, and Mr.. Black, of this
city, went through the train and col
lected about 500. 90 for him.
