The Fourth at Peatcns.
PEAToNE, July 4

PEAToNE, July 4, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE Another national
holiday has passed. The people of
of this place and Ohiovile celebrated
the day in a very fine grove on the
| banks Of the Ninnescah, which is now
very pretty place, but with little
work could be made handsome. The
above place is what is known as the
5. G. Lockett Ford. 1t is splendid,
shady little grove. In the writer's
| opinion it is the prettiest place on the
Ninnescah. The representatives of
OhiovilIe volunteered to do the enter
tanning on this occasion not because
Peatone could not dc it, for she could !;
we have the talent in our midst. 1t is
not much to say, but think we can
stake the rag off the bush" on cele-
bratons in this part of the county.
There was quite respectable crowd
came up from the Buckeye settlement.
They had az forerunncrs two young
gentlemen and one prima donna, who
was dressed in white and had on o ma
tional apron. AS it was near dinner
time when the Ohioville folks arrived
the first thing on the programme was
refreshments,-and good and boun-
tifnl repast it was. We partook of
some of the best pie that ever graced
picnic table, baked by Mrs. Geo. Mead,
of Sumner county, who came up with
her family to mingle with good
crowd. Next in order was fixing up
swings, putting up their instruments,
etc; after which we had some pretty
fair singing for set of clodhoppers.
The instrument used was provided by
the prtnad donna, and the singing led
by Sunday School Superintendent
Kimball, of Ohioyille. Among the |
pieces sung was one entitled "Only an |
Armor Bearer" in which couple of
our young lassies Joined in while
swinging, keeping their own time, but
there was music in them, and they
were forthwith invited up to join the
singers. Their names are Miss Lizzie
Shenk and Flora Davis two sweet lit
tie girls of about IL or IL years of age.
After the singing some pleasant ac-
quaintances were made, and the exer-
cises closed with short speeches by
different parties. l believe Ohioyille
viii always be welcomed in this COM
and whenever they want to
have good time in the shape Of
picnic we will insure them big turn
,ut, and do our share towards making
t a success,-if at nothing else it will
DC at the collation..
Corn looks splendid, especially the
arly planting.
Wheat, believe, is ali in the stack.
There is not much wheat spoiled.
That which sprouted was mostly
through negligence.
Oats is being cut.
There are several parties here who

Mrs. Shull and Miss Ollie Austin were

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Gard.

Beware OF bogus Singer Sewing Machines.
The new Singer agent at this place would
have people believe that only agents for the
Singer Manufacturing Co., can selIs genuine
Singer machine. This is entirely false. and
when the pubic know so well that this com-
pany is Eow, and has been for the past ten
years, taking back thousands oi old worthless
and worn-out machines, rebuilding and SELL
ing them again as new ones, We wonder how
he could have the auIacity to say that re-
built machine can be bought Of the new COM
panies which have only existed since the
Singers patent expired, Que year ago. and
companies who sell for cash and never take
back machine.
II you buy Henry Stewart Singer manu-
iactured in New York City. a Williams sing
er manufactured in Montreal, Canada, or a
Chicago Singer, you run no risk OF getting
rebuilt machine as you do in buying those OF
the Singer manufacturing company. This is
self-evident for the reasons gwen above.
Another fact is, that the new Singers are
sold on their actual merits and not On an old
reputation, as the others are.
We deal in all frst-elass machines among
which are the Wheeler & Wilson, Weed,
White, ictor, Wilson and all kinds OF Sing
ers. We buy for cash and seIj Tor legitimate
profit, just as any other kind OF merchandise
is sold, giving our customers the benedt OF
ten dollars on each machine which would 9TH
erwise be paid as commission TO canvassing
agents.
Customers viii find it a great advantage TO
buy of resident dealers, from the fact that if
their machines get out OF order I. can be re-
paired with little or no cost, while II they
buy Of agents, when they want them to fix
their machines they are gone. Dom; iorget
