WHERE IGNORANCE Is BLISS.
The grand jury at The close OF it's
session passed solue complimentary
resolutions in favor Of Hon. \. 4.
Butteptield, states attorney, and direct
ed their clerk, one John S. Cutting, "to
furnish an attested copy Of these reso-
| lutions 10 each Of the newspapers in
Eiudhaln County" The SITTER has
not been the recipient Of any such IA
yor by Mr.. John $. Cutting. Possibly
he does not know Of lite existence. We
| are very sure we never heard of John
! s. Cutting before, so"honors are easy"
| However, If we can learn that gentle
mans address we viii enlighten him in
reference TO the existence OF the Lon
DoNDERRY SITTER. Apropos at the
annual meeting of directors Of Eaton's
'Litttle railroad,' the i. K w, sim-
! liar vote, in reference to their annual
report was passed, only in this case the
SIFTER was specifically mentioned, yet
we never received it. This was un-
doubtedly an oversight, for the B. Il
| w. directors, its president and fuIle-
men generally have IN undying = love
for the SITTER.
The majority of our citizens win re-
member that but few months ago We
chronicled the invention OF new sew
ing machine by Col. Levi X. Fn)ler.
We have now the pleasure OF stating
that not only has the machine been per-
fected and manufactured, but that its
promised great merits have been real
lied, as evidenced BY the award to il
