Peninsular Stove Co. Surely such re
liable institutions are as good with
Their guarantee as they would be

] Ihey will make a show of throwing
In a few COOKING utensils, steel
skillet, which they use to batter the
top Of the stove with. Remember
these only cost % cents and other
things In proportion, Now We hope
our readers will not countenance such
institutions and especially when tbey
can do so much better at home. In
buying of peddlers Of any description
people usually pay more than the
price paid at the stores, and nearly
always get an inferior article. Take
lesson from the peddler of the
Kalamazoo harrow Few years ago.
These never worked but the notes
come around all right in the hands of

takes smooth man to sell goods 10

this kind of business get big pay for
it. Keep your eyes open and your

We are reliably informed by a
prominent G. A. R. gentleman, that
Chester |. Long has turned down
fOrty-four old soldiers in this district
who were applicants for pOstOffice.

Wequ0te this now with the admoni.
tion to the old soldiers that the facts
it relates will be just as true after
Long is nominated as before. We
glory 10 Bro. Simpns eff)rts to defeat
the nomination Of such a man but are
quite sure that he will realize soon
that the machine will nominate Long.
And what is more Sumner county
will declare for him. Enough of The
large countries have already declared
for him to insure his nomination and
the one distinguishing feature of
present day Republicans is to "get
into ;he band wagon" Hence the
party in Sumner county will crawl
aboard even if Col. Loper, Bro.

r. n. Brent has returned from
Chicago, where he has made arrange
ments for the manufacture and sale
OF his patent washing machine. He
certainly has great bonanza in his
invention. 1t is the neateSt washing
machine ever put on the market. He
has reserved Sumner county and ex-
poets to sell one to every family here.
You will see an advertisement and
cut Of the machine elsewhere 10 our
columns. The washer consists of a
round galvanized tub ten inches deep
and twenty-one inches in diameter.
Inside OF this tub, there works in
opposite directions two circular
corrugated discs, one beneath and the
other above the clothes, thereby max.
ing dOIble friction agitating the
cloths so thoroughly as to remove all
dirt. These discs are run by an up
right lever attached TO the side Of the
tub and can be worked by a ten year
old child. 1t will laundry any article
from a fine lace veil to rag carpet.
1t will not tear fabrics Of any kind,
or rub of buttons A ten year old
child can wash a tub full OF clothes as
white as the snow on the mountains
10 ten minutes. 1t is so constructed,
that In one minute it may be changed
from washing machine to a useful
summer cooking stove, a combination
never before presented to the public.
The whole outfit is sold for less than
the price asked for a common gasoline
stove.

Der Of the Kansas commission to the |
Omaha Exposition, spent two days at
Omaha last week and obtained an idea
Of the magnitude Of the enterprise
and the size OF tie job in which he is
to participate. The buildings and
plans are on magnificent scale and |
the splendor has been spared at no
point for lack Of funds. Kansas has
been awarded the best location in the
building for state displays, being the
first on the right OF the main entrance. |
There is a vast amount of work for
the commission 10 do in gathering
and getting the Kansas exhibit to

in every quarter and he thinks the |
commission will soOn begin to bring
