No Better Country in the World.

A. A. Moore writes as follows to Our iel-
low-townsman, NJ. II. Moser, from Walnut
Grove, A. T., August 20, 1876. lie says: 81
promised that would post you if | saw any
better location for your business than Wichi-
ia, and now will advise you as / would a
brother, so far as my judgment goes. l have
travelled over many a mile since l saw you
last and have failed, so far, to see any coun-
try 10 compare with Sedgwick county. and
no town to compare with Wichita, in my os-
timation. Ifmy advice is good for anything
to you it will be that you stay where you are
instead of coming any farther west. l must
say that the shoeing you did for me on my
mules was the best | ever had, for the shoes
you put on stood the whole trip, with the ex-
ception of three that got pulled off in the
quick sand crossing the Rio Grande river"

A. II. ROBINSON, sec'y.

j. Il. Reese, formerly proprietor of the old
Kentucky livery stables, has entered into a
co-partnership with ID. C. NJ. Apyleby and
erected a new and commodious brick stable,
called the oriental, on lots No. 10 and 124
on Douglas Avenue, half block east of Gen.
tennial Block, to which they have moved
their entire business, and they will at all
times be pleased to see their old patrons and
friends and hope their increased facilities for
business may add many new customers. The
new stable is probably one of the largest in
the State, being two stories high, of brick, and
5oxlo0 feet on the ground, containing nine
teen single stalls, fifteen double stalls, room
for twenty buggies, harness rsom and a
platform furnished with exhaust pipes and
and force pump for cleaning buggies. The
NOW will bold sixty tons of hay.

The Singer Sewing Machine.

Over one million and half in use. The
most durable and lghtest running machine in
the world As an evidence, the Singer, REM
iugton and Wheeler & 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 & VIII
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 fictitious name.
For many years the Remington machine COM
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third day OF July, was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with
friend by the name of d. IL. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler Il
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler Il
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 | was SELL
ing the Howe, happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. He had as
little confidence In his machine as the first
one met and he attempted to sell it as the
improved Howe, and have been credltably
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. A machine that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits Of machine that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in the
world. The impostions offered are of the
deepest dye. W. MASON,
General Agent for the Southwest.
