American Sewiag Machine.

In this age of utility and material progress
there is not of the many valuablc inventions
and labor-saving machines so generally in
use, one of more absolute necessity than the
sewing mechine. Ofall the sewing machines
with which this country and Europe is
flooded the American has come to be the
favorite. There is reason for this of course,
and that reason is based on principles Of wis,
dom begotton by experience, observation and
actual test The American machines all that
its Inventors claim it to be. 1t Is lght-run-
ming; it is solidly and substantially made; it
is simple in its mechanism and SO easily I'M
derstood that child can manage and sew on
it; it is economical in the use of thread it
never gets out of repair: it sews rapidly,
and makes seam that holds as long as the
cloth lasts and it is exceedingly cheap in
price. This machine has become so popular
that the demand for it is so great the manu-
factory cannot supply it. The headquarters
for this machine for the State of Texas is
here in Dallas, and you ought to get one by
all means.

GALVESTON. April, "a. 1880,
For some time rumor has been rife con-
corning the erection of extensive oil mills in
this city. This has finally assumed tangible
shape, and II is expected by September next
to be u practical reality. A company has
been organized and chartered MS the Calves
ton Oh company, with capital stock of
100000. The company embrace number
of prominent and onterprising
men of New Orleans and this
city. The representative directors of
Galveston are B, Adoue, j, II. Hutchngs,
l. Wallis, Walter Davis and John Sealy. The
company has purchased one whole block of
the Southern Cotton Press and Manufactur
ing company, south Of kuhn's wharf, and
the machinery has been ordered, consisting Of
ten Taylor dresses, with all the necessary APP
pliances to do effective and profitable work,
The presses will have one hundred
and fifty receivers. The plans for the
factory are now in the hands of Mr.. Adoue
and work will begin at once The building
is to be of brick, thoroughly fre-proof three
stories high and capacious enough to fully
meet all requirements. The main building
will be sixty feet front and one hun
bred and fifty deep aud illty-four feet
in heighth. This, with the other build
ings to be erected will cover the
entire block, with railroad passing through
the centre for the reception of cottonseed
and the shipment of OIL The machinery 10
fully equip and operate the mills to their full
capacity, will cost Sl50,00l. This is COM
mandatory enterprise, and shows that those
most deeply interested in the future of this
city have not lost faith. These works when run
to their full capacity will furnish employ
ment TO 200 to $50 people, thus atfording
work to Ahat number of the non-employed
men and boys who aimlessly wander through
the streets unable to find employment. -
The famous revivslists, Moody and Sankey,
who arrived in the city Wednesday last, and
held evening services in st Johns church, left
next day for San Antonio. They are on

that Texas has been more enriched by the

of toll; does not expect to
grow rich rapidly, Is not easily discouraged
by obstacles, and therefore succeeds where
others fail. He has that other qualification,
which is commendsble, Is law abiding, favors
