An Important Enterprise.

We extract the following mention of
the new Singer Sewing Machine manu-
factory at Chicago, from The Western
Manufacturer, published at Chicago,
which paper is the leading newspaper
devoted TO mechanics IN the west:
SINGER NEW FAMILY SEWING MA
CHINEs.-People are generally aware that
most Of the leading Sewing Machine
Patents have expired and have consc-
Quently become public nropertv. The
people Of this country can take advantage
of this state of things without compunc-
ton of conscience, as the original invent.
ors and manufacturers have all made in
dependent forum s out OF the royalty on
their patents. 1t is not generally known.
probably, that manufactory is in full
operation in this city, turning out Singer
Sewing Machines, or elegant first-class
machines Of the same style as those made
by the Singer Company, but 1t is never
theless the case. w. c. Foley g. Co., who
have an Office and salesroom at No. 70
Adams street, have been for some time
manufacturing these machines and fur
nishing them at such rates that they
already have large and growing trade.
We had the pleasure the other day of going
through the factory and witnessing the
process Of manufacture. Mcssrs. Tryber
and Sweetland, experienced machinists,
preside over the manufacturing depart
ment. They have nov force of twenty
two skilled workmen constantly employ
ed, and turn out quite number of COM
pleted machines per day. Their works
are supplied with the latest and best ma
chinery, and every advantage is taken OF
the latest methods for expedition and
perfection of the work. Each workman
has his special portion of the work, which
Is performed and the material passed to
the next man, and by the time It has gone
the round it comes out perfect machine,
ready to put together. There is no part
Of any machine but that fits with equal
perfection in every other machine made.
After being put together, to see that every
part works perfectly, the machine is taken
apart and goes through the japanning and
ornamenting process, after which it un-
dergoes the final fitting and testing, and
then goes to the packing room, and is
ready tor the market
Ali the members of the firm Of w. G.
Foley & Co. are old hands IN the Sewing
Machine business, and the public may
rest assured that in dealing with them
they will get as highly finished, easy
running, and every respect as pcrfec,
Singer Machines as are made in the
country, and at prices hitherto unknown
to the trade. We are glad to chronicle
this addition to the manufacturing indus
tries OF tue city.
Should any Of our machines at any
time prove defective, or in any way uu
satisfactory, they may be returned to u
for exchange at our expense both ways
or we will refund the money PAID 70
same, and all freight charges. J. A
WALTERS sells the Chicago Singer.

A Trip to BrOwnsal a lc,

| Saturday last, on special invitation o.
our esteemed friend, Jim Weiser, we tore
ourself away from the tiresome cares OF
our Office, and with our wife and little
folks, made trip to Brownsdale,,n which
pleasant Mower county village We spen1
the Sabbath.
Brownsville has been known for TWEEN
'y-three or twenty four years, but up te
the time Of the completion Of the S. NJ
r. r., the village consisted only Of q
hotel, a store, a blacksmith shop, and
perhaps a dnnun Residences. II ia now a
lively little place, has fifteen or twenty
stores and shops, a goud school-housc
two churches, two hotels, steam Touring
mill, and probably fifty residences, sever
al of which would do honor to q much
larger place. 1t is also Il very prominent
grain depot, and is, perhaps, the hes,
fixed for handling grain Of any town in
the county, not even excepting Austin
1t has three elevators, one of which is
quite large, besides several warehouses.
Brownsville is located in a beautiful
grove of burr-oaks and is truly pleasant
| place. 1t takes its name from Andrew ID
and Hosmer A. Brown who originally
owned the land upon which the town is
located. These gentlemen are still living
and prominently connected wi it'll the bus
mess interests of the town. It cid oul
soul good to shake by the hand many OF
the old settlers OF more than twenty years
ago, in the persons Of E. J. Stimson, B
F. Bacon, A. L. Sleeper and J. F. Temp.
kins. There were many other old-scttlcr
friends there whom we did not meet
The business men which we had the
pleasure of meeting were w. H. Lawrence.
L. J. Ellsworth and B. F. Bacon, all
dealers in general merchandise; r. X
Dahle, the prosperous hardware king
! A. L. Sleeper & Sons and Hunt & Marsh
druggists; f. J. Stimson, dealer in har
ness goods; Or. J. c. Wysor; r. T. Glover
and I. c. Thatcher, wheat buy ers; and
MIR. Harris, the landlord of the Brown
|
a short time with an exhibition of several
tricks performed by his handso INC little
pony.
The country about Brownsville IS very
fine, dotted here and there with beautiful
groves, and settled, quite generally, by a
Woodworking prosperous people. Tho
grain-fields look we'll, and promise fair
crop of good quality. Mr.. A. II. Marsh
just south of the village, Is harvesting
five acres of winter wheat, which will
yield we'll. Mr.. E. J. Stimson also has a
small piece of winter wheat ready for the
harvester.
We arc glad 10 find that the TRANSCRIPT
has many friends in Brownsville. W.
hope they may increase, and the pape,
always be worthy of their hearty and
generous support.
We had an enjoyable trip, and We hop,
to live TO make many more.

CEDAR CITY.

The crops in this locality are looking
very promising, the weather at present
all that could be desired, and the farmers
are once more locking hopeful and happy.
Barley harvest has commenced. We,
with pleasure, commend the thrift and
enterprise of one Of our most widc-awake
farmers, Mr.. D. Chandler, who was first
to start harvester in his barley last Fri
day.
MIR. Geo. Niles AMI wife have re-
turned from their western trip, and are
looking, if anything, the better for tue
journey. Mr.. N. doesn't look day
older, and not more than half head
taller than when he went away.
MIR. F. D. Powell and wife left last
Friday tor their future home in Cass
county, Iowa. They are the kind Of peo-
pie we regret to lose from our community
and the best wishes Of their many friends
for ,heis prosperity and success will
follow them.
The quarterly meeting of the Cedar
City circuit, was held in our school build.
ing on Saturday and Sunday last. A
goodly number were present from other
parts of the circuit. Among the visiting
friends we noticed Messrs. Ash, Williams
Carter, Thorn, Wheelock-with their
wives, from Rose Creek; Beach, St. John,
Kilgore, of the Woodbury. class; Hotson
and Osborne, of the Epler class; Goslee
from the G0slee class, and many others
whose names we did not know except tc
call them by the universal name Of
Brother. The Presiding Elder came and
preached two very able, instr uctive, edify
ing and elevating sermons (O The house
was crowded, and notwithstanding the cx
IRENE heat, all seemed to have profitable
season, especially the P. E., as they raised
his regular $40 without difficulty. W.
we're very much pleased with the sermon
and although we make it a point to re
member the text, we could not this time
and have felt weighed down ever since
with the important question: Why will
ministers use slang in the desk when they
would think it so low il they should hea1
our children use 1t in our homes, and
think we had failed in our duty if w
did not chide them for it! Perhaps w
are In the wrong, but we came hom'
feeling much like the young lady whit
was sent away to boarding school, and il
her first letter to her mother she said
1.-THE girls here all use slang nearly al
the time, but you have no need to fear 70
line, for ! have been too we'll brought u
to fall in with habit so low: M
Mother, never will use slang, now yo
het,"

Our farmers are now very busy in
the hay field, and If there is any one
thing they ought to remember it is that
the sooner the hay is gathered in, the
better. Early cut hay is considered by
herdsmen far preferable to late cuts. The
flavor is more palatable, the texture more
tender. The hot sun will quickly take
the value out of a meadow, four or five
days making rs Or so per cent. difference
in the value An authority says shay cut
