The Singer Sewing Machine.

Over one million and half in use. The
most durable and lightest running machine in
the world. As an evidence, the Singer, Rem
ugton and Wheeler g. Wilson were invented
about the same time and put into market, and
at the present day the Singer has over one
million and half in use, the Wheeler & Will
son has about five hundred Thousand and the
Remington has the small, Insignificant num-
Der of five thousand nine hundred and fifty
three, which can be seen on the upper end of
the needle burr, which makes the Remington
the last choice OF the people, and they would
not have sold one quarter that number hal
they not sold them under a fictitious name.
For many years the Remington machine COM
pany have attempted 10 force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds NE of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third day OF July, was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with q
friend by the name Of ID. IL. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler &
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler &
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his
machine to sell it on Its own reputation. but
the Remington agents confidence failed him,
and he attempted to sell 1t as the improved
Weed. Some five years ago, while l was SELL
ing the Howe, l happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. lie had as
little confidence IN his machine as the first
one l met, and he attempted to sell it as the
improved Howe, and have been credItably
informed that the Remington agents are sell
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is false. There is no improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to buy the |
Remington are welcome to, but deem it my
duty to inform the good people of the South |
west, through the columns Of your paper, SO
they will not be imposed upon in buying ma
chimes. machine that cannot be sold on |
its own reputation should not be sold on the |
merits of 4 machine that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in the |
world The impositions offered are of the |
deepest dye. W. MASON,

From the Ottawa. (Illinois) Repub licsn.
nasth of CnlnnAl WAlla Wait.

"Colonel Wells Wait, well known as lead
ing citizen of LaSae county IN former years,
died at the residence of Mr.. Charles r. Miller,
bis son-in-aw, in Wichita, Karsas, on Thurs
day last. lie was eighty years OF age. His
rcmsins arrived by the Pacific mail train at
Ottawa on Sunday last, and the funeral took
place from the residence OF IL. Z. Gsdney,
Esq, at two and a half o'clock p. m. of the
same day, and was attended by the family
relatives and number or citizens, old per-
sopal friends OF the deceased.
''Colonel Wait was a native OF New York.
He came to Illinois about 1888 or 1910, and
settled in the town of Dayton, on the farm
now owned by John ii. Greanleaf, Esq,
where he conducted the nursery business for
twenty-five years or more. Thirty years ago
he was one of the leading men of the county,
and was well informed on all subjects OF pub
lie interest. Ii 1850, on the adoption OF the
township organization system, he was elected
supervisor OF the town OF Dayton, and was re-
elected for several successive years, and was
alwas considered one of the best and safest
members Of the board. He also served one or
two terms as County School Commissioner, in
which position he gave good satisfaction.
Many years ago Mrs. Wait died and the chill
dren were grown up and married, so that the
Colonel concluded TO sell his farm, which he
did, and removed to Livingston county and
made his homo with his daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Il. Miller. Last
spring Dir. Miller sold cut and moved to
Wichita, Kansas, and last summer Colonel
Wait concluded to 20 there too. lie was well
pleased with his new home and 10 all appear
ance bid fair TO live several years. But kid
ney difficulty, TO which he had been subject
at times for years, carried him of quite sud-
denly. Colonel Wait was man OF unswerv-
ing integrity, high-toned morality, a good
ci,iznn and a warm frinnl :.
