Mccormick Reapers and Mowers.

Mccormick Reapers and Mowers.
This old and reliable house in Texas, as
in the older States, is apparently supplying
our best farmers with reapers and harvesters
in the teeth of all opposition. Their long
experience and immense capital enables
them to know just what is needed and to
build their machines in a substantial man
ner, and their liberalty in giving low, prices
and easy terms (when farmers need itJi Is
proverbal. ..rs 5.7a
Then their plan of letting every farmer
use their machines through the season with
reaper or harvester of any other make, in
order to decide which he likes best, is
safeguard thrown around the purchaser
which every intelligent farmer Nill appreci7
ate.
They also keep full stock of repair parts
at all their agencies, which is of untold ad-
vantage to every man that buys reaper,
as all who have been obliged to send away,
to st. Louis or the mandatory, for extras,
pay for telegraphing and express charges,
besides being delayed from four to six days

OF the large number of farmers who
bought Mccormick machines last year every
man seems to be more than satisfied. Mr.. I
Johnston, one of the best and largest far
mers in Ellis county, writes as follows:

Dear Sirs-I bought Combined Advance
last year, and cut three hundred acres of
grain and grass with it and say unhesitat-
ingly, consider it by far thesbest machine

SILVER CITY SCHOoLs.-Havln8
paid the Silver City schools visit
We we're struck with the marked
Improvement which the pupils are
making under tuition and indefati-
gable energy of their teachers,
Mr.. T. B. James and Miss Holmes.
The former has an attendance of
about forty scholars and the
latter seventy five. The teachers
are indeed worthy Of commentator
for the discipline which characteiize
their school. Parents and those in
terested in education should be
more frequent in their visits to
their respective schools. AS it not
only shows an appreciation of tue
teacher, but destroys that nervous :
ness evinced by the children on the
arrival Of visitor. when they are
not frequent. Having more par'
ticularly visited the primary depart
ment, the improvements the chill
dren are making confers credit on
Miss Holmes, who has the arduous
task Of laying the foundation of
their education.

ACCIDENTS.

\ miner named Hugh Jones,
employed on the 1200-foot level of
the Belcher mine, Gold Hill, was
severely injured by blast, on
Thursday forenoon. He was re-
turning to his post of duty, from
the cooling place, when the blast
occurred, several fragments OF rock
striking and cutting him about the
breast His wounds are not of u
serious nature. but it was a narrow
escape, and must have been caused
by carelessness on the part of some
one, in neglecting to give the blast
ing signal.
The other day McLane, "a miner,
working in the Silver Hill mine,
was coming up the ladders in the
incline, from the third level, when
he slipped and fell some 100 feet.
However, lac was fortunate in only
securing some bruises and cuts
about the head. Then he worked
his shift out, and did not have his
wounds dressed until the following
morning. He is all right now.

HANDSOME RESIDENCE.-"C Com
ing events cast their shadows be-
FORE" is an old saying, and one in
this case worthy of more than pass
ing notice As the shadow may dis
appear. The substantial trip upon
the scene and the realization OF a
bachelor dream, add another happy
home To our population. These
thoughts are caused by our friend
VIM. Brown--a young and interest
ing member of the bachelors club
erecting a large, and probably the
handsninest residence in town, on
his eligible site, in American raw vine.
The CO ling were to be | | feet high,

it will be an ornament to the town.
We might surmiSe that some charm
ing young lady had taken advan-
tage of their Ieap-yesr prerogative
and popped the all-inportant ques-
ton. We suppose il is wrongto sur
mise anything of the kind but
knowing Williams good nature and
generosity does not permit him to
refuse any favor within his power
to confer, it is barely possible that III
this case " coming events cast their
shadows before"

BLACK HILLS.

There is no fever which affects the
people OF the Pacific Coast as bad as
the gold fever )" often it is fatal to
their prosperity and rapidly carries
off their fortunes and savings to that
bourne from which they seldom re-
turn. Already the Black Hill spe-
Gle of this fever has attracted many
in Virginia and Gold Hill, and
Almost daily pilgrims for this new
Jerusalem of gold begin their weary
tramp. We are at a loss to suggest
proper remedy for the afliiction, but
suppose the only permanent cure is
change of climate this may not
be prudential advice, but when a
man makes up his mind to follow
any particular course, words are sell
dom beeded. Then we think it
would be we'll to wait awhile before
making trip of that distance, be-
fore something is definitely known
regarding its resources. We are in
formed that Mr.. Brady, formerly a
resident of this place, but lately of
Virginia, in company with few
others, contemplate starting tomor-
row for that region. Below we give
a table of the distances from Chey-
enne to Custer City, as published by
con temporary, who vouches for its
accuracy. 1t says the last named
place has already a population of six
or eight hundred, and the route de-
scribed is the usual and best for
those starting from the Pacific coast,
including the various stopping places
on the route. This is the first time
this table has been published in any
paper on this coast:

wind blew great guns, as the old tars
say; at any rate, it was all-fring
tough. Signs creaked and groaned {;
doors flew open; hats cavorted down

in fact, old Boreas was on spree
and made himself generally disagree
able. About 1890 that night it
commenced showing and continued
falling at intervals through the nigh.
and part of next day, leaving our
streets, which were almost dry, in
rather a muddy condition. As it
looks now one can hardly guess
whether it has concluded to settle
Down and behave in reasonable
manner or not, but we hope it will.

Virginia Items.


o'clock a miner named William
Scion, employed at the Con. Vir-
ginia mine was run over by the
switch engine of the V. & 7. rail
road-the 81. W. Bowker"-and
was badly, probably fatally injured.
The unfortunate man was returning
from his work, in the midst of the
driving storm of wind and snow
which prevailed at that time. This
in connection with the noise made
by the steam issuing from the
works of the mine near which the
accident occurred, prevented him
from noticing the approach OF the
engine or bearing the bell ring.
The tender struck and passed over
him without doing any injury, but
the wheels of the locomotive passed
over his left leg, crushing the ankle
and SCATTERING the bone almost to
the knee. His collar-bone, and
two ribs were also broken. Drs.
Harris and McMeans attended him
and upon consultation decided to
amputate the limb, winch they did
Just below the knee. 1t appears
that at the time the engineer was
not only ringing the bell, but NOV
ing very slowly. Neither the engi-
neer or the fireman knew that an
accident had occurred, and were
first informed of the fact by rail
road employe signaling them to
stop. From what We have been
able to learn, no blame can be at
tached TO the Company. or their
employees, and had there been no
storm raging at the time it would
not in all probability have occurred.
Yet there is general complaint
that people of both sexes and even
children apparently have no regard
for the engines, which are con-
stantly moving back and forth over
the iroad in that vicinity. This is
the second accident happening near
the same place, and pedestrians,
especially miners, cannot be too
careful when going or returning
from their labnrs, for notwithstand
lug the preeauhon and vigilance OF
the engineers accidents are liable to
happen without some care is taken
by them.
