OUR SEWING

There are some sewing machine
agents in different parts of the State
decrying the Alliance machine at ev-
cry home. They tell you it is ''unrelia-
BILE, - made of pot IRON" you can
never get repairs. " mo one is respon-
sible to you for repairs" and such like
expression which they know are false.
Only afew days ago, we learned that
one agent was saying that we were
shipping out second hand" machines.
That agent may deal in second hand
goods himself. The business agent of
the State Farmers Alliance does not.
Up to date, Feb. oath wehave delivered
to the brethren over 1000 Alliance ma
chimes. We placed order for even ma
chimes yesterday, one of which is to go
to Kansas.
Below we give a few original letters
from the brethren which speaks for
merits of our machine.
DURHAM, N. O., Jan. 25, 1898.
BRO. WORTH will say the Alliance
sewing machine that my wife has been
using for two years has never been out
of fix, has never given any trouble in
any way; I would not exchange it for
any sixty dollar machine that I ever
saw. E. A. WOODS.
January 29th, 1893.
Mr.. ". II. Worth, s, B. A., Raleigh
N. c.:
DEAR SIR:-I take pleasure in wri-
ting you concerning the sewing ma
chine I ordered from you September
the goth, 1892. l wish to say to those
who may want a machine, that the
high arm Alliance machine is all right
in every respect, for I have owned
three in my time, and a say that the
High Arm Alliance machine is the best
I ever had. One of the machines cost
me about $43 so, and the Alliance ma
chine is far superior to that. My wife
is well pleased with it, it does its work
well as ever / saw any machine, l can
not recommend it too highly for it
pleases well every way, it is light run
ming as can be.
I do this for the benefit of those who
may want a machine. I have mine for
inspection for those who may want to
see one. I will say further that the
machines shipped comes all right &C
cording to order freight paid.
remain ever yours,
@. NJ. CREss.

HIS OWN CONGRESS.

The Wilmington Messenger Of the
14th said:
"Mr. Joel Chandler Harris is indus
trious. He s.nds daily a long and able
article to the Atlanta Constitution on
what he secs in the Federal Capital.
He has been looking into the hands of
the bankers and he sees decisions and
snares. He says the fight has put
trouble bIubbars' under Mr.. Voorhees,
eyes. He says something more than
common has occurred, and does not
know what it is-whether the gold
trolley has slipped or what. He says
70 one can tell how far silver will drop
when the Sherman bill goes, whether
to 50 or 20 cents an ounce. He warns
against accepting the State bank bust
ness. He says it is a deception and
means the establishment of the nation
al bank system on a new basis, and the
perpetuation Of the features that are
Objectionable to the public He says
the Republicans and allies are really
fighting for q big bond issue-perhaps
$780, 600. 600. He says the present
Cabinet to a man are extremely
Obsequious with the single exception
Of the member who has always been a
RepubliCan-Greshan He says the
idea is strong in Washington that
Cleveland is in his W Cabinet and

Business Agents would save time
and trouble if they would use printed
stationery. 1t costs very little more
than that they now use, and is much
more convenient. Letters occasionally
come to us without being signed, some
times they contain money, and we are
put to some inconvenience to find out
the sender. Printed stationery saves
all this trouble. We are now prepared
to send you, postpaid,
with name and number of your ALI
ance and name of Business Agent or
Secretary nicely printed on it,
100 nice envelopes, printed,
1 lead pencil,
1 pen holder,
5 pen points,

She Stole Five Hairpins.

The Justice and alffhe officers of the
Jefferson Market Police Court in New
York on Wednesday were greatly en-
bar.assed when a prisoner, Nellie Peel
er, began to cry very softly. The pris-
oner was q bright, well-dressed young
woman, % years of age, Of refined and
rather pretty features, who had been
caught stealing hairpins in Stern's dry
goods store on west Twenty-third
street. She took five pins, that were
worth altogether $40, and she did not
seem to have the faintest idea why she
took them.
Nellie came to New York on a visit
to her sister, Mrs. Haaif' of 1894 9TH
avenue. Her home is in Tivoli-on-the-
Hudson, where her father is trustee of
Sunday school. Her brother-in-law
is clerk in bank. Thursday Miss
Peeler went to Stern's, where her sis
ter has an account. She made several
purchases, and was on her way out of
the store when the jewelry count
er attracted her attention. She
stoodin front of it so long that Detective
Cary hogan to watch her. After a
while ne approached he and asked her
what she was doing there. She turned
red and became confused. He arrested
her and took her to the Thirtieth street
station house, where she admitted that
she had stolen five hairpins. One was
of imitation tortoiseshell and the 9TH
ers were plated metal. After allowing
her to write q note to her brother-in-
law she was put in cell.
Mr.. Haaff went to Police Captain
Copeland's son, who is friend of his,
and asked him to help him to secure
bail for the young woman. Young
Copeland laid the matter before his
father, who knows Haaff well. The
Captain promised to get bail. A few
hours later Capt. Copeland and ex-
Alderman Meade of The Ninth ward ap-
peared at the station house and after
signing a bond, obtained the young
woman's release.
In court Wednesday morning there
was no one to make q charge against
the prisoner. When she saw the JUS
tice and the court officers all staring at
her the tears began to roll down her
cheeks. Justice Voorhis paroled her
until the afternoon. Then with the
consent of a representative of Sterns,
he discharged her.

CAUGHT IN A STEEL TRAP.-A shock
ing affair is reported from the planta-
ton of Mr.. Joseph A. Baker, a well-to-
do and highly respected farmer. four
miles south of Marion, S. G.
For some time Mr.. Baker had been
missing corn from his barn, and last
Friday night he set steel-trap in the
barn at the place where the corn had
been missing. Next morning on going
out, he noticed the form of an old col
ored woman, named Dolly Bethea, who
had been for some time in his employ
as cook, standing fast by the side Of the
barn, with one hand through the crack,
quiet and motionless. Mr. Baker en-
tered the barn, and unlocked the trap,
when the old woman fell. Her hand
was badly cut by the strong jaws of the
powerful trap and her body was well
nigh frozen, the weather being intense
ly cold. She was taken to the house
and cared for, but died. The old wom-
an had been in the family for number
of years, and was never suspected OF
being the thief.

A BEAUTIFUL GHOST WITH a HALO.
There is mystery prevailing Can
ton, III. A shceted form supposed to
be that of woman, has been seen
walking the streets after midnight,
and all efforts to solve the mystery
have proven unavailable. The spook,
for such it is believed to be, confines
its appearance largely to the Fourth
ward, but is occasionally seen on First
avenue. Several well-know citizens
have gotten q glimpse of the appari-
ton and describe it as the form of o
beautiful young lady, whose features,
while bearing a resemblance to form
er resident of the city, now deceased,
are not fully recognizable. A curious
feature of the apparition's appearance
is the beautiful halo that surrounds
the form. This light is easily dis
tinguishable at n considerable distance,
and especially on dark night it is OBJ
served with unusual brilliancy.-&.
