THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES

| A RE the Best, Simplest and most Dura-
IN BILE in use. 1t has been greatly inn
proved in the last few months, although the
old was very good. There are over six hun
dred of them in dolly use in this County,
giving perfect satisfaction. You may buy a
Machine, "so-called, /" for less money, but if
you want to be satisfied after you purchase
always get the best This Company seli
more than all the rest put together, and
there are about fifty different Machines on
the market. The Singer was the first to
reduce the price, and of course the minors
had to follow, and they had to come little
below the Singer, or else they would have to
abandon business, for know from expert
ence that parties say if you will take for
the Singer what 1 can get another at, will
take the Singer all the time What do
they mean by that?
Cash prices, SG5, $40 and SIS, owing to
style and finish, but the Machines are the
same throughout in the nice adjustment of
their parts, &c.
The best criterion that / can give you as
to my opinion of the different machines, is
my connection with this famous Machine
for nine years in succession.
Machines sold on easy terms. Machines
of all makes repaired at short notice, and
prices moderate. Needles, Oil and parts al
ways on hand. Come and see me before
you buy. upstairs, over Barr & Fant's

THE TWO ADMINISTRATIONS.

Some very interesting figures have

the Marshall Herald, showing that ap.
preparations of the two administrations
OF Throckmorton and Hubbard are d =
eidedly In favor of the former in point
Of economy. Mr.. Hubbard's admins.
trstion. we will admit, is entailed with
some more actual expense than that of
his predecessor, by reason of the grow h
of the state. yet it is not of
such proportions as to make such a
marked difference, when considered
from an economical standpoint The
Herald places the total appropriations
ut the enormous sum of three million
five hundred and forty~nine thousand
three hundred and sixty~four dollars
for the years 1877 and 1878. OF this
sum, fifty thousand is for the executive
department alone. which is in ex,
