TIE RUSH.

The exodus and in-odus (how's that
for il new wor,I now going OH is mar
velous. Tie children Of this new ~
merican Israel are crossing the Red Sci,
Of the Mississippi River and tiocking to
the trans Mississippi Canaan by tens
OF thousands. From Texas to Mime
sofa, the trains are ill loaded with land
and home seekers. The rus! into Min
ntsota, especially is unprecedented.
Our forty millions bushels of wheat
last year and our mild winter, without
Il single storm, have turned the scale
in our favor. Especially are South
western Minnesota. and Southeastern
Dakota receiving copious showers of
this outpouring of the people. Let
''her' rain. Lift up your gates, ye ev-
lasting prairies, AMI let tie le,ple
come in. Give us the Southern Minne-
sofa, and Worthing1on will soon be u
town Of 5000.

ENLARGEMENT.

The press upon our advertising space
and the need of more room for news de-
mand an enlargement of the ADVANCE:
We have therefore enlarged from Il sew
en- to an eight-column folio. The
length of each column is increased a.
bout two inches, and there is Il gain of
one column to each page, so that alto
gether, inside and outside, we gain a.
bout seven columns of space.
We shall entleavor to keep abreast Of
the needs of our growing community,
and shall continue to make the AD-
VANCE the Peoples Paper and the Far
mers' Friend, maintaining full freedom
Ut discussion and criticism, in all mat
tcrs, political or otherwise.

Why didn't you say the Worthington
Journal misquoted you, for we certain
ly did not. We have no doubt that
Van Horn said it, but we feel sure that
bonus will be asked and that WOrtling-

Il W., DEitr VI IN |'E., IION-

An invention all frugal wives will APP
preciate-in fact, all article that even
rivals the sewing machine III useful
ness-is now on exhibitions ut the
Broadway store of the Wilson Sewing
Machine Company, in this city; yet it
is so wonderfully simple that it can
scarcely he classeu rs an invention, and
!, wonder to everybody that it was not
discovered years ago. Tie invention
consists in very simple little attach
ment of the Wilson shuttle sewing ma-
chire for darning all kinds Of rips,
tears, WORKOUT places, ETC., in cloth
ing, table and bed linen, stockings, un-
derwear. etc, in the same manner that
it is done Ivy hand, and leaves the re-
paired part scarcely disceruablc. The
operator of the sewing machine can
darn a large-siZcd hole in Il bed sheet or
table cloth almost instantAneously. 1t
is to he regretted. however, that this
wonderful invention is patented and
owned Ivy the Wilson Sewing Machine
Company, Of Chicago, Ill.,. who will not
permit it's use except with one of its
make Of sewing machines, which, tile
Company's manager states, is furnish
ed with each of the Wilson shuttle sew
ing machines without extra price.
Truly, this is Il golden nest-egg for the
Wilson Sewing Machine Company,
and. it is said, they are running their
works day and night and making and
selling 800 machines Il day.-N. Y. Dali
