1.-THE Davis"

1t stands at the head without
a rival. 1t takes the lead as the
best high-arm, smooth-running.

has stood the test through the
many years it has been before
the public, needs no better proof
than that its sales exceed the
most sanguine expectations Of
its friends, and have astonished
the manufacturers, who have
twice within the last few years
been obliged to enlarge their
factory, more than doubling their
capacity. This result is mainly
due to the peculiar and distinc-
tive feature-the Vertical Feed,

Narrow Escape From Drowning.

A very frightful and what came near
being very sad accident happened last
Monday afternoon at the mud machine,
the result being that two young ladies
narrowly escaped being drowned. Mr..
Albert Bailey, accompanied by his daugh-
ter. Ollie. and Misses Annie Mckee and
LYDIA Mumford. had rowed down the river
To the machine and were endeavoring to
get aboard of the dredge boat when Misses
Mckee and Mumford fell backward into
the river and soon went out of sight un-
der the water. The alarm was given and
several by.standcrs looked anxiously at
the drowning young ladies but no one
dared jump overheard for them until the
stewarta colored man by the name Of Jos.
Lake, native Of the West Indies, who
was at his post, hearing the cry, fastened
to the scene and plunging over the side
Of the boat dived to the bottom Of the riv-
er where he found Miss Mckee and
brought her to the boat and then went
down again after Miss Mumford, who was
still In the water. They were both nearly
strangled TO death but soon come to and
went home. The bravery exhibited by
Joseph Lake certainly deserves special
commentator and we think some token
of the appreciation OF his services In saw.
ing these two young ladies from the sad.
est Of deaths should be rendered him by
the citizens Of this town. Notwithstand.
ing several gentlemen were standing by
when the accident happened no one else
dared venture into the water amer the two
unfortunate ones, and had II not been for
the presence Of mind and bravery Of Joe
they would certainly have persisted. Sew
eral Others have fallen overheard when
visiting this machine since Il has been
here, but We sincerely hope this timely
warning will be needed and no other nc.
ciden,s will happen.

Correspondence Of tho MESSENGER.
William Bowden,a very estimable young
man who resided near this town, died at
his home few days ago. His death was
one that every one grieved over on az
account Of his many good traits of char.
acter. He was never heard to speak a
word ofharm Of anyone but always look
cd upon the bright side Of every mans
life and used all honorable means TO de-
fend the character Of everybody. He was
taken with the measles on Thursday Of
last week and not being sick enough to be
In bed took walk out last Sunday and Il
Is thought he caught cold, from the effects
Of which he died. On the day Of his
death he called some Of his friends to his
bedside and had them read passages from
the Bible. He appeared to be conscious
Of his situation and the time of his end
He repeatedly called to his friends to
know the time of the day, and In answer
would reply: Il must leave you before the
sun sets again" and sure enough he pass
cd away in perfect calmness and comp0-
sure, being resigned to death His re.
mains were inferred In the Southern
Methodist Church cemetery on Monday
afternoon last. Mr.. Bowden leaves an in
Vulnerable host Of friends TO mourn their
loss, who extend to the grief-stricken rel.
atives their sincere sympathy.
There will be preaching In this place to.
morrow Sunday afternoon at the usual
hour.

WANTEp-A CANDIDATE.

We are grand Old party,
And you will understand,
We own nigh all the wisdom
And virtue In the land.
We're splendid organizers.
We're mighty in debate,
But we have not yet decided
Who shall be our candidate.
True, Blaine is ever ready
To make the fight again,
To lend his ringing accents
And swing his mighty pen;
But IN 's4 he tumbled,
Through Burchard and through fate
So Il isn't quite decided
That he'll be the candidate.
New York is looking kindly
On eloquent Depew,
But name him TO the grangers
And the atmosphere is blue.
There's Gresham, a good fellow,
But he's not got his own State;
We don't think Ayers likely
To be a candidate.
John Shcrman's growing older,
He tried Il twice before;
The Icy Vermont boulder
We never hear Of more.
The prospect is appalling,
But 1t grows on Us Of late,
That maybe Grover Cleveland
Is winning candidate.
