POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

A short time ago we wrote an
nrticlr un this subject which was not
taken ny rs generally by the country
nress us we had hoped for. We con
ceive it 10 he the duty Of every news
paper in this country To contribute
Its mite for the good of the country
In every way that opportunity offers;
nnd tins question is one that well
deserves consideration.
The arguments that could be nd
dmced in favor of postal savinS' banks
are too numerous for our space. We
will barely glance ut II few; and Will
begin at the most important. instead
of the usual way of leading up to the
climax.
Loyalty to country we hold to be
the superlative Of mans duty, and
1ostal savings banks will make men
luvnl. Every depositor is ina certain
sense stakeholder IN the govern
ment, and every stakeholder i'll the
government is n supporter of that
government. If every man IN this
country was u stakeholder. even to
the extent of twenty five do lars, that
w0nld prevent anarchy.
Secondly, when any one begins to
save money it is IL stimulus to get
more. So long us he has nothing he
has 10 inducement to begin; hut once
started his appetite is whetted for
more, and these small savings would
add largely to the wealth of the
nation.
Thirdly, it would be the best tenn
pcrancc reform ever invented. The
nickies and dimes that now flow Sc
freely into tho saloons would flow
into the post office. This part Of the
business would I've double reform;
it would save the moneys and it would
save men from becoming bruteS.
1t cannot be argued against this
that it would add voters to the party
in power. Country post offices are
those that would be most used fol
this businessman country postmaster:
can work it in with their business ths
same as they do money orders.
We need not go across the Atlantic

and other countries; we need only

How APUZZLE Was SOLYkl

When you want u certain article, you wan;
the best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for you,
by authority which cannot be questioned
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one pug
zle that has been solved for the people of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1880 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world, including those of America, we're
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as a further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world i'm
favor Of the No. 8 and No. 10 Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. 10,
for manufacturing uses, are tho best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want sewing ma
chine, If you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler 81 Wilson machine, and If he
does not keep them, write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.
Agents wanted in all unoccupied territory.

New Pumping Engine.

The GAINESVILLE Water Company
has recently purchased from the Cor
don Steam Pump Co., of Hamilton,
Ohio, new duplex pumping engine,
of increased capacity, to take the
place of one of the Blake pumps now
being used. The new pump has been
received and the work of removing
the old pump and putting the new
one in its place will begin on Monday
next.
While this change is being made
the company will have only one
pump that can be used to supply wa.
ter to the city, and any extraordi-
nary strain placed upon this pump
might cause a break down that
would result disastrously. In view
Of these facts it behooves all citizens

weeks to make the change, and that
the engine he will use during this
time will supply all needs if the wa
