Toledo, Ohio, March Goth, 1888.
To parties intending to purchase q sew.
ing machine, look well to your interests
and don't buy until you have seen and
tried the Royal st. John sewing machine,
manufactured by the Royal st. John Sew
ing Machine Co, at Springfield, Ohio. II
is the only machine that sews either way,
turn the wheel which way you will, with
out breaking the thread. 1t passes over
seams and sews cloth of anv thickness
without difficulty, and always maintains
good tension and nice stitch. 1t is
ahead of any other machine made for light
running and durability.
The Royal st. John can be seen in AL
pena by calling upon Mrs. E. LaLonde,
who is selling for b. p. Cowley & Co.,
who are the only authorized agents for
the St. John in the counties of Alpena,
Altoona and Iosco. Certain unprincipled
parties have been representing themselv es
as agents for this Royal machine. They
have procured two of those machines OF
the old style, without the latest improve
ments, and, by dsarranging their working
parts, are trying to deceive the public and
run down the reputation of this truly
royal machine. Mrs. A. g. Babcock and
Fred Meyers are the parties referred to,
and we caution all parties that they are
not agents for the Royal st. John Sewing
Machine, and the company will not war.
rant nor be responsible for any machines
sold by them nor any other parties except
b. p. Cowley & Co. or their employees.

Poor House.

We believe there were a few votes
cast in favor of raising $4,000 by tax
for the purpose of erecting new poor
house, but not having the returns, we
can not venture to say how over
whemlingly it was defeated. There
were but few persons in favor Of it.
The general opinion seems to be that
the tax payers should have lit
tie rest, that their burdens are now
excessive enough, and little cessation
of taxes are desired. The tax payers
said "no" in tones emphatic enough
to let officials know what they desire,
so that the coming year economy may
be practised by all the official boards
and all needless expenses pruncd
away. They do not want the public
service crippled by false economy, but
they want their officers to see that the
public funds are carefully used and
all leaks in the city, county and town
ship treasures calked up so tight that
not a single cent will be misapplied.

Last Sunday afternoon, Rev. j. A.
Mock and large number of members
of Trinity church and Sunday school,
went out to Trinity mission, Alpena
township, where services were held.
There was also present large gather
ing Of the settlers in the vicinity of
the mission. The services consisted
of addresses by Rev. Mock and Mr..
Comfort and the rendering of the
Easter music, songs, etc, by the Trim
ity Sunday school choir. G. w. Jones
presided at the organ. A handsome
card was presented to each of the
Sunday school schalars, and a very
liberal offertory was made for the pur-
pose of aiding in the erection of a
building in which Trinity mission SER
vices and Sunday school can be held.

The large number of persons who
attended the Baptist social last Fri

pleasant time. The program of exer-
cises was as follows:

A feature of the evenings amuse-
ment was an art gallery gotten up by
the ladies, consisting of one hundred
scenes, all good burlesqucs, and they
provoked much amusement.

The order that was received from
the weather authorities at Washing
ton, a week or so ago, ordering the
signal station at this port discon-
tinued, has been revoked, and the sta
ton will remain in Alpena. We are
glad to note that General Hazen, the
chief of the weather department, has
recovered his reason. His plea that
want of finances was the reason for
shutting up the stations at this and
other localities, was not very effective
when some of the useless expenses at
the Washington Office were taken into
consideration.

A. l.. Power had the misfortune to
lose his horse Spot one day last week,
it having broken leg, and was shot
a day or two after the accident oc-
Cured. Spot was undoubted the fast
est trotter that has appeared on the
shore, and has been victorious in many
races. How the accident occurred to
the horse is a mystery, but it is sup
posed that as he was trotting leisurely
along one of the streets, he stepped
on frozen chunk, in such a manner
as to break his leg. Spot was valu-
able horse, not only for speed, but as
a family carriage horse.
