Jas. Parker, Esq.. DIETER known
as uncle Jimmy of Keyser, was in

is quite q veteran being Just on
the verge Of his ninety third year.
He has had q most eventful career
and from his we'll retained memo.
~ he can. and does entertain his
friends with whom to meet affords
him great pleasure. About thirty
years ago he came into our town,
60 he told us. at no slow pace for
he was on a et-footed horse and
bore the unwelcoms news "The
Yankees are coming" He does
cot often get to Romney, and was
truly gratitied to be with the old
soldiers and receive their hearty
greeting and hand shaking last Sat-
urdav. The old gentleman says
he feels that his race is almost end
ed and that he Is only waiting the
Masters call.
A source Of considerable specula.
ton and conjecture by sewing ma.
chine men In general is: Way is 1t
that the canvassers selling New Da.
Wis Machines can go out and sell from
five TO seven aud even ,re machines
per week, while the canvasser for oths
err machines considers himself doing
well when he acomplishes the sale of
two or three machines per week 2
This 10 very easily answered. 1t is
not because the Davis Is sold lower
than any other, for ths price is from
FIVE to ten dollars higher than that OF
any other machine in the market but
it is because il possesses many advan.
tages over any other.prominent among
them being the vertical feed, an i'm,
prOvement which in point Of superb
GRITTY no other machine can approach.
BY the feed improvement all kinds Of
sewing even the most difficult trim
ming, 10 made in the most perfect
manner with 1ut the necessity Of ever
Blasting. Its attachments are so sim.
pie, many Ct them working sutomsti-
eally. that any lady possessing even
but slight knowledge Of running q
Machine, can execute every variety Of
household sewing upon the Davis
with an ease and raridity impossible
with any o:her machine. J. 5. Kel--

The memorial ser vices, under the

IN every way up to what might have

large, aud in the main orderly and
respectful. Had II not been foi
the rain, which unfortunately be.
gan to fall about the time the ser.
vices were over at the cemetery,
the day would have excelled i.
interest and pleasure perhaps, any
eimilar demonstration in The past.
As it was. there seemed to be no
lack OF enjoyment and good feel.
