A Note to Women.

Few women realize the great differ
ence there is in the quality of thread;
not only in its strength but in its
smoothness and uniformity said
sewing machine man. s'It's a fact,
that about half the faults blamed on a
sewing machine can be traced to poor
thread. Kinky cotton is likely to break
the needles, throw the tension out and
make the machine cut up cranky in a
dozen different ways. But the queer
part Of it all is that good thread and
poor thread cost the same, and any
woman can get the best by simply ask
ing for it. Some time ago the leading
sewing machine manufacturers de-
termined to settle the thread question
once and for all. Separate tests Of all
spool cotton were made by the Singer
Machine company, the Wheeler & Will
son, the New Home, The Standard,
The Domestic, the White, and the
Davis, and in every case the Whitman
tic six-Cord Spool Cotton, better
known as Willimantic Star Thread,
proved superior to all others. There
is a suggestion in this for every woman
who uses a machine or sews by hand.

What VIII He Do With Ite

Such is the title of one Of Bulwer's
most fascinating and powerful novels,
and readers will recollect how salts
factorily the problem was solved. !
Something more than novelist's
query confronts every one Of us as to
what we will do with the year 1895,
now almost here. It may be called a
book of blank pages, Oh every one of
which we must set down, whether
we will or not, our successes, failures,
or even the record Of nothing done.
Some planning ought to be done as to
what we will do in the days that are
before US, and how we shall accomplish
our purposes, whether they be enter
ing upon a profession, engaging in a
new or prosecuting an old business,
building a house, running for Office or
taking a wedding journey. In the
course of what we may do in pursuit of
any of these, it is probable that we
shall find it necessary to travel more
or less. If so, it will be profitable to
have some previous acquaintance with
the railroad systems of the country.
A brief study of the maps, especially
that of the great Central West, will
certainly convince the traveller that he
can reach most prominent cities most
directly and most comfortably: by
patronizing the splendidly equipped
Burlington Route, the terminal points
of which are Chicago, Peoria, St. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, Denver, Chey-t
enne, Deadwood, Billings, St. Paul and
Minneapolis. Apply to your home
ticket agent for information, or ad-
dress W. J. G. Kenyon, Gen. Pass
Agent, st. Paul, Mimi, who will tell
you ''what to do with it.''

HUTCHINSON FAMILY.
A First Glass Musical ENTERTAINMENT last
Thursday Evening, with Many
# Special Attractions.

The best entertainment, musical or
otherwise, that has been presented to
the people Of this place, was given last
Thursday evening, in Jesmer's Opera
House, by the justly famous Hutchin-
son Family troupe. Every member is
a specialist in his or her respective
line. Miss Pearl and Miss Anderson,
as soprano and alto singers in the
quartet, attracted the Warmest atten-
tion. Young Mr. Farr as tenor, and
Mr. Hutchinson as basso, complete the
quartet of as good and pleasing singers
lin fact artists-as have ever APP.
peared in this village Miss Anderson,
the lady violinist, showed by her ac-
curate and difficult performances, on
the king of instruments, that the old
king is subdued, and yields a. ready
obedience to the superior talent Of
Miss Anderson. Mrs. Hutchinson is
an accomplished performer on the
piano. The soloists have one especial
feature and the same must be said Of
the quartet-the words come out
clearly enunciated, the hearer knows
the sentiment of the songs, and is
thereby placed in a position to judge of
the merits which verdictm always be
favorable to a first class troupe like the
Hutchinson family. This popular
company have expressed an intention
OF visiting this place again during the.
winter, with a change Of program.
Should they conclude to do SO, they
should have crowded house. They
are worthy of it in every respect.

CHRISTMAS JOYS.
Two Churches Have Christmas Trees on
MONDAY Eye9ing nn III the Lutheran Church

Though rather an off year, fnan-

some of the older ones, were not al

churches had the Christmas time in.
mind and made adequate provisions for
the comfort and welfare of many a
child through the village. Many pres
ents were handed in to thu committee
in charge, to be placed on the hand
some evergreen trees. The M. E.
church was tastefully decorated with
.evergreens. A chimney had been pre-
pared for Santa Claus to get into the
house, which he did, much to the
amusement OF the children, just as the
beautiful program, singing and speak
ing, closed. There were two large
trees in the M. E. church we'll laden
with presents, which were speedily
given away, after Santa Claus got his
breath. At the Congregational they
had prepared one very large tree
which was also covered from the floor
almost to the ceiling with well-selected
and useful articles. A fine program
was here carried out, and just prior to
closing, apples were distributed broad
cast through the audience. The most
intense interest was manifested by
the young children in looking for
the arrival Of old Santa Claus. The
Lutheran church people held their
Christmas tree festivities Tuesday eve
ming. Rev. Grabemann assisted by
two students from college, conducted
the work OF the evening. The tree
was well weighted with presents. A
general good greeting was had, and al
went away happier than before Sew
eral family trees were enjoyed in the
village. There were families who
could not we'll attend the public places
with their children. They gathered
their presents for an occasion of hap
piness at home. The poor children, o
whom there are very few in this vii
lage, were not overlooked by the com
mittees. Especial effort was made t.

It was a day Of universal happiness il

 Unexpectedly bullish advices from Liver pool, rather unfavorable crop news from south Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia, a slim spot demand, less pressure 10 sell August and more demand 10 cover shorts, |, well as some new buying for long account, caused an advance here. The trading was on a larger scale. Some think that the time has come for at least a temporary rally
