THE
White Sewing Machine

ire HISTORY AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
For nearly twenty years prior to
1875 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
pre.eminent among firstrclass ma.
chimes, for its simplicity and light.
running qualities. It is mechanical
fact that the White Sewing Machine
is made from the best material and
of excellent workmanship, and allita
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 a 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 a gratifying fact that the
White gives universal satisfaction,
and that it is steadily and rapidly
increasing in public favor. This
fact is further authenticated by the
following statement of sales, made
the third year Of its existence,
amounting to 81, 1888 machines. No
other machine ever had such rec.
ord Of popularity. For sale by J. A.
WALTERS, agent for none, but
dealer in all firstrclass sewing ma
chimes; also pianos and organs.

THROW UP FOUR N
A NJ. LOuis Drummer as q Train
RObber.

A gentleman just from the scene Of
the late Arkansaw train robbery re-
latcs a good thing in connection with
it.
On the train following the M that
was pillaged was a st. Louis drum
mer who had imbibed just enough
benzine to put him in a good humor.
BE determined on having a little fun
aud waited until the train had taken
a good run over the Arkansaw boun-
dairy. Tho passengers in the sleeping
coach in anticipation Of a robbery
had dressed themselves and like the
Spartan band, awaited the onslaught.
Suddenly the drummer rose from his
berth, and with his hand under his
coat tail yelled, ''Throw up your
handsl' Instantly every arm was ele-
waited as if by an electric shock. AT
ter contemplating the scene a few mo-
ments, the Joker said in his blandest
manner, THAT will do now, you can
put them down." and passed on to the
next coach where he played the same
trick over again with like success.
The passengers we're so glad to es-
cape, that they overlooked the drum
mer's c~ussedness, and had a good
laugh all around.

In Two Ways.

The New York Post, published by
VIM. Cullen Bryant & Co., and edited
by the scholarly Carl Schurz, a paper
representing the elite of New York
society, prints the following para
graph.
Judge I. w. Brown, of Memphis,
Tenn, who is said to be one Of the
ablest Southern %jurists, is proposed by
several Southern newspapers as a
worthy successor Of Judge Clifford on
the Supreme Bench.
The Boston Herald, in contrast to
the foregoing, has it in this shape;
A man named Brown, OF Memphis,
is mentioned" for Judge Clifford's
successor. Mr.. Brown may be a
great man, but his name and fame are
not sufficiently well known to make it
probable that he will get the place.
When will Boston get over her ego
tism and cease to be jealous Of other
than her own great men?

well cannot accept all three positions,
but his friends claim, and it must be
admitted with considerable show Of
reason, that he will get one Of the
three. Mr.. Boutwell, is a thorough
Republican of the most Stalwart kind.
Cabinet making has not been very
active to-day, and consequently there
is nothing new to report in this line
excepting the statement made on very
good authority that in case Secretary
Lincoln retires from the Cabinet Gen.
Raum, the present efficient Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, will have
a place in the Cabinet. General
Raum has undoubtedly earned a Cab
met position, and is eminently quail
fed 20 fill me-. Chauncey j. Filley,
of st. Louis, is to have a good posi-
ton under the new administration;
just what it is to be has not leaked
out. General John 9. New, of In
diana, will also be taken care 0. in
case he wishes to place himself and
friends. The claims OF Indiana are to
be recognized at last, and it is more
than likely that Ohio will be forced to
give up some other many flesh pots
in order that Indiana may be provided
for. Senator Harrison stuck his pins
in numerous places on the map Of the
world. Many Of these pins will, no
doubt, be withdrawn in order that the
Stalwart leaders Of Indiana may have
room to stick a few pins. Colonel
Holloway, of indianapolis, is named
for the position of Public Printer. Of
course there are other names mem
toned for this position, but Holloway
is the strongest candidate named so
far.
