at time when the community is flood
ed with so many unworthy devices and
concoctlons, it is refreshing to find one
that is beneficial and pure. SO conscious
are the proprietors Of DR.. K1Na's New

of their remedy, that they offer all who
desire trial bottle free Of charge. This
certainly would be disastrous to them did
not the remedy possess the remarkable
curative qualities claimed. DR.. KINGS

positively cure Asthma, Bronchitis, Stub
born Coughs, Colds, Phthisic, Quinsy,
Hoarseness, Group, or any affection of
the throat and lungs. As you value your
existence give this wonderful remedy a
trial by calling on your Druggists and
obtaining trial bottle free Of cost, or a

THE
White Sewing Machine.

ITS HISTORY AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
For nearly twenty years prior to
1876 the members Of this company
had been engaged in the manufact-
ure Of sewing machines, principally
under contract with other persons
or companies, to and by whom, the
sale Of their goods was controlled in
this and foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1876 an oppor-
tunity was offered to, and readily
accepted by, the members of the
company, whereby they sold all their
old machinery, tools, patterns, etc.,
to company that was DESTROYS to
manufacture for itself.
During the negotiations Of this
sale new machine and new COM
pany were conceived; and, stalking
our reputation as manufacturers, and
our prospects Of success, on the
quality Of our productions, we
launched the White Shuttle Sewing
Machine upon the market, and made
our first shipment in August, 1876.
With this brief summary of histo-
ry we would simply state few facts:
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands
re-eminent among first-class ma
chimes, for it's simplicity and light
running qualities. 1t is mechanical
fact that the White Sewing Machine
is made from the best material and
of excellent workmanship, and allits
wearing parts are adjustable, so that
lost motion can be "taken up" in an
instant. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the durability Of the White Sewing
Machine is sustained by written
warranty for five years. 1t is pro-
gressive fact that the White embo-
dies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing ma
chimes, together with advantages
peculiarly its own.
1t is gratifying fact that the
White gives universal satisfaction,
and that it is steadily and rapidly
increasing in public favor. This
fact is further substantiated by the
following statement Of sales, made
the third year of its existence,
amounting to 54,s3a machines. No
other machine ever had such rec
ord of popularity. For sale by J. A.
WALTERS, agent for none, but
dealer in all ! 6rst-class sewing ma
chimes; also pianos and organs.

Those Weeds.

IAOS0 "0e06.
AUSTIN, Mimi, July 80, 1881.
Mr.. ED1roR:-It was with pleasure
that 1 read your article IN last week 8
TRANSCRIPT on weeds in our streets. It
is Indeed shame and disgrace that
Austin should be 50 far behind her sister
cities in this respect, and some of our
citizens have felt mortified and chagrned,
on returning, after visiting some Of our
neighbors, to see the wanton neglect
and evidence of shiftlessness which our
public streets exhibit. Even some of our
prominent churches, Of whom good ex-
amples might be expected, permit their
grounds to be surrounded by rank
growth OF weeds and grass, ZONE of them
or feet high, and shade trees broken
down and neglected, in manner that
would be disgrace to a saloon. Our
city government has ordinances requiring
occupants 10 clear the sidewalks and
streets Of snow in winter. The pure,
wLite driven snow, which is neither ugly
in appearance or unhealthy, must be re-
moved, but ungainly and rank weeds and
grass which both breed disease and
obstruct our streets, are allowed to remain
unmolested and uncondemned. I am
pleased 10 note that some of our citizens
have both pride and public spirit enough
to keep their yards nicely moved down,
and the streets adjoining them clear of
weeds AID grass. thereby setting an ex-
ample that if followed by all would
remove this disgrace from our city and
give it that appearance Of thrift and enter
prise that would at tract the passing
stranger Or visitor, instead of driving
them away from US. OCCASIONAL.
