their skill needle workers and not on

women. Year after year they sew the

used in the flags Of other nations. Every
star shows a certain number of stitches to

spection. The work lasts all the year
round. and there is no fiuctuation IN the
wages paid.

Mrs. Andrew Jackson for his grandfather,
Moses Dawson, a stanch democrat and
warm friend of Gen. Jackson. Mr.. Dawson
frequently visited the Hermitage. On one
of his visits to Gen. Jackson Mr.. Dawson

meetings and wore the clothing. He ne

Wagon Tongue Snapped i'm Two.

Sherman Crex) Dispatch to the Globe Democrnt.
r. A. Bailey, a merchant of this town,
while riding a bicycle last night, collided
at full tilt with a loaded two-horse wagon.
The tongue Of the wagon struck him
squarely on the breast bone. Mr.. Bailey
himself is today little the worse for the
encounter, save for a slight soreness, but
the wagon tongue was broken squarely
in two. Mr.. Bailey is probably the first
bicycle rider on record to break a wagon
tongue with his breast bone.
