A Handsome Income

Sc lie, an article chat has always been need
ed in every household, and in a eommuni-
cation addressed TO the editor of this paper
the proprietors ask us to ref.r them 10 some
reliable party, TO introduce it 10 the people
of this County. 1t is very seldom that a
new article steps so suddenly into univer-
sal favor. House-keepers are loud in its
praise, it is always ready, there are no
weights TO get lost or TO be hunted up, is re-
liable, and will not get out of order. The
description of them is handsome base sur
mounted by column in which works spi-
raj spring so scientifically adjusted as to
W Ugh anything up to twelve pounds with
perfect accuracy, on the top of the column
is the platform on which the articles 10 be
weighed are placed, and they have an al
Unstable indicator so that you may take
the tare of any vessel that you may use in
weighing, giving you the exact net weight
House keepers at once see their value in
weighing fruits, sugars and other ingredi-
en's used i'll preserving, cooking, etc, or in
testing the weights of purchases from others.
The Scales are made of all Brass, are
highly polished and are finished in very
skillful manner. They are very attractive
and take the eye Of every one who secs
them.

this county will want one, and is certainly
rare opportunity for some smart and ener-

RIENZI, Jan. 2O--N, u, WGG-
lace, Esq.-DEAR SIR Since
my last letter was written for Tie
OBSERVER cur little town has
been visited by a destructive fire;
last Tuesday night, 14tlI ms, at
the hour Of twelve, the citizens
Of our town were awakened from
their sleep by the ringing of bells
and the cry of fire! but it had
advanced too far when discover
ed to be stopped, and in few
moments the whole block consis-
ting Of seven houses was a heap
Of ashes. The principal losers
were G.. M. Stew, druggist; and
ID. w. Rogers, family grocer;
they lost all their goods, saved
nothing but their books. The
fire caught in the back room Of
the drug store. Itwas supposed
that coal of fire had popped
out during the day that caused
the fire. 1t seems that fate is
against our little town for it has
just been four years since we
were visited by a dreadful storm
which levelled it with the ground,
and since that time there have
been two gins and mills burned.
We, Of course, look at these
things as misfortunes, but ! SUP
pose we look at them the wrong
way, so | consider it all for the
best In the end.
We have been having some
very cold weather for the last
month, old settlers say that it is
the coolest weather we have had
since '55; but Notwithstanding
|. the cold weather some Of the
young people have been enjoying
themselves, as a great deal Of
marrying has been going on.
There is now, and has been for
some time, a great deal Of ex-
citement among the members of
the National-Grcenback party
because they failed to elect Reu-
ben E. Davis, their candidate, to
Congress from this the First
District. They have had the e.
lection tested by the Federal
Court which is in session at Ok
ford; but it is Of no use for Col.
Muldrew was the choice Of the
people and they gave him a ma
jority Of three thousand.
Our Legislature will not meet
this year unless Gov. Stone calls
them together, and we under
stand that he will not do that.
We are anticipating a lively
time this fall as the Nationals
say they are going to put out a
full ticket, but it is useless for
them to, for we, the Democrats,
have the advantage and intend
to hold it.
Farmers are beginning to think
about going to farming; | think
that the most of them intend to
plant a great deal of cotton, as
that is the only crop we can sell
for money.
The general health Of the coun-
try is good, the NJ. DIS. are do
ing nothing but fretting because
nobody gets sick.
Yours Respectfully,
Il. w. II.

sometimes assumes an almost grotesque
deformity. To prevent such results by a
simple and agreeable means is certainly
