A sewing machine has now become = mecca,
sity in every well regulated family, and the
consequence is that there are great many
lifferent kinds for sale. A. D. Barker has
been recently appointed agent for the famous
Remington machine, and parties wishing tO
purchase should call at the depot and see
him before making any bargain. Themschine
is very simple and nearly nOiselsss. These
machines were invented by ]. T. jones, whc
also patented the Singer. In this machine
all the eog-wheel geers, rotary cams, and
levers, are done away with, making it very
desirable. Barker claims that he will sell
cheaper for cash than any other man in the
county. Don't forget that his machines car
