The Fat Contributor becomes a Candidate
for President.
The hour has arrived. I can hesitate no
longer. The highest interests of the nation
demand that I present myself as a candidate
for President of the United States. I have
waited for some one else to bring me out, but
in the multitude of candidates no one seems to
* have thought of me. And I don't think very
much of myself; bnt a man don't want to
think, much of himself to be a candidate for
President now-a-daye.. if he had any self-re?
gard at the outset he would think very little of
himself by the time he got through with the
campaign.
lam one of the people?I might say, one of
the boys. I. came up from obscurity, and I
have brought nr> a good deal of obscurity with
me. I.neverrhad any politics?or much else.
I. am "Liberal" to a fault, and ready to receive
votes from any quarter, although I am not
ready .to give quarters for any votes.
As for a platform, suit yourself, gentlemen.
The lecture platform would probably suit me
as well as any other. Having stood upon near?
ly every platform in the West, it would be hard
"for you to get up one I could not stand on. In
the absence of a platform give me four aces,
and I'll "stand" on that.
I am the special friend of the laboring man.
No one likes to see a man work better than I
do. In fact, I had rather see a man work than
work myself. I am not only averse to working
more than eight hours, but I am opposed to
working a single hour 1 I shan't even work
for my election, leaving that for the men who
want the offices.
I am in favor of paving the national debt.
' It is in fact the only debt I am in favor of pay?
ing. And rather than not see it paid during
my administration I will pay it out of my own
pocket
In the matter of civil service reform I intend
* to do the civil thing oy the nation if the nation
does the civil thing by me. Being civil is so
rare a condition now-a-days in the varied walks
of life (to say nothing about the ruus) that re?
form is urgently called for.
Retrenchment is my motto. If you can't
put a retrenchment plank in the platform, put
in a board. I am ready to work without any
salary, but I shall insist upon my board.
I am rather inclined to Free Trade, prefer?
ring to feel free to trade wherever I please, but
if a Tariff plank is necessary to my election,
put it in. I shall not get on a Tar-iff I ain't
elected.
Pledge me as strong as you please to the
Temperance men. The temperance pledge
won't hurt me one bit
No relative shall hold office, no matter whose
relation he may be. I shall appoint none but
eld bachelors, childless widows, and orphans.
Any man who has a relation in the world need
not apply for an office under my administra?
tion. I have a few relatives of my own hold?
ing office now, bnt they shall be promptly
kicked out as soon as I am elected. One
brother-in-law has a little coal office on the
river. He must give it up. A third cousin on
my neighbor's side drinks too much occasion?
ally, and gets office foot I shall give him no?
tice to quit Another relation has a hankering
after George Ellis' "Office." It won't do him
any good. You see I am determined to reduce
the "relative" expenses of the Government.
I engage not to accept any gift, unless it be
the highest office in the gift of the people. If
lam ever called "Our present Chief Magis?
trate;." it won't be a chief magistrate of pres?
ents.. Not being a man of cammanding pres?
ence anyhow, there would probably be few
presents that I could command. What few
natural gifts I may have, however, I shall en?
deavor to retain. They are not worth making
any fuss about
I am not only in favor of woman's rights,
bnt of woman's rights and lefts. I am in favor
of women voting, provided they vote for me.
I see no reason why a woman shoold not hold
effice, except, perhaps, the difficulty of getting
Bold of it Nor should there be any bar to a
woman's accumulating property and supporting
the family if she wants to. . i
I may be asked how I would treat the In?
dians. I wouldn't "treat" them at all. They
Have been treated too much and too often. My
private opinion, however, is that it will be a
treat when there isn't an Injun left.
I stand by the old constitution that has been
tried. Few men have tried their constitution
more than I have tried mine. I accept the
amendments, every one- of them-. When it
comes to amends, I am ready to shout "amen"
as loud as anybody.
I understand there is an ambitious man
earned George Francis Train, who aspires to
be President on his promise to free Ireland. I
engage not only to free Ireland but to make
Irish whiskey free in the bargain. I shall at
least be able to tic George Francis in the pop?
ular vote, unless one or the other of us is Kept
away from the polls. Hang it, I believe I
could tie the Davenport brothers I
1 shall inaugurate a wholesale emancipation
business as soon as I am inaugurated. No
foods retailed at the White House when I am
'resident. I engage to emancipate women
from the thraldom of fashion, to give the
"boys" their rights, and abolish the custom
which excludes children in arms from the ele?
vating and purifying influences of the theatre.
Shave pledged myself to free Ireland and to
free postage; to free housekeepers from the
tyranny of servantgirls; free pews, free passes,
and freebooters. To free soil, to free tickets to
shows, free drinks, free press, and "J. N." Free.
I trust I am not making myself too free.?Cin?

The Geave of Prentice.?A writer in the
Louisville Commercial, who has been wander?
ing among the monuments of Cave Hill Ceme?
tery, aays:
As-we walk to the hillside we stop and look
with feelings of sorrow at the humble spot
where the Nestor of the press, the man of
princely intellect, George D. Prentice, lies.
The poet and journalist, whose pen evoked the
admiration of the world, whose name was
synonymous with everything brilliant and poet?
ic in literature, lies in an humble and almost
unnoticed grave. A little Grecian canopy, rest?
ing on four columns, with an urn in the centre
and on top a lyre with a broken string?so sad?
ly expressive of the music that has been lost to
the world?is all that represents in maternal
substance the illustrious dead. On the grass,
which is springing up green and fresh over the
lowly grave, is a broken goblet, in which, some?
times, was placed some flowery tribute by a
grateful and loving hand. This is all that in?
dicates the resting place of the man that Ken?
tucky should be proud to honor. The remains
of Courtland Prentice lie near by, and are more
distinguished in their outward adornments than
those of his- father.
? Dolly Varden night caps and corsets are
becoming popular. Those who have seen them
say they arc "perfectly sweet."
The Deacon's Experience with Soda Water.
We have do hesitancy in stating that among
the able-bodied male adults of this city the
very common summer beverage known as "soda
water," and which is dealt out so unsparingly
at every corner during the heated term, is con?
sidered, to use their own language, a "thin
drink." But while the ingenious mixture of
wind and water is termed "thin," strong liquors,
6ueh as whiskies, are altogether too "thick" for
a steady warm weather dnnk; and so the im?
biber who must moisten his flues with some
liquid refreshment seeks a pleasant combina?
tion of the two classes of drink, which forms a
happy combination that exhilarates yet is not
intoxicating. It is customary among these
bibulous go-betweens to enter a drug store, call
for soda water, name their syrup, at the same
time giving a wink to the dispenser of "slush,"
who takes the goblet, in which he places the
syrnp, then stoops down beneath the counter
or retires to a back room, where, by some mys?
terious chemical change, the contents are col?
ored darkly, and the soda is then let in upon
the mixture, which is handed to the customer
with a wink from the clerk. So much for the
process; now for the sequel.
Saturday a venerable gentleman from the
country, who is a respected church deacon, a
justice of the peace, a member of the "Band of
Hope," and a Good Templar in his native vil?
lage, came to the city to trade a little in dry
goods, and purchase such agricultural imple?
ments as he needed to plant and cultivate his
spring crops. The deacon is strictly temperate,
and never looks upon the wine when it is red,
any more than he does when it is any other
color. Unfortunately, our old friend had suf?
fered from opthalmia in his early days, which
left him with an optical peculiarity, which
caused his left upper eye-lid to drop every few
seconds, and which, to those not familiar with
his infirmity, gave him the appearance of wink?
ing intentionally.
The "Deac" is passionately fond of soda wa?
ter, and such light beverages. He loves to feel
the gaseous compound coursing down his throat,
and creating internal commotions and typhoons,
that, however endurable by older persons, throw
babes into agony, and require prompt doses of
peppermint; so Saturday, after he had bought
a few shovels, plows, hoes, rakes and threshing
machines, also a Dolly Varden for his wife, he
thought he would fill up with soda water and
drive on towards home. He entered a drug
store, inquired the price of the desired refresh?
ment, then deposited his scrip and awaited his
mixture.
"What syrup do you want?" inquired the
urbane clerk, as he mopped off the marble
counter with the same towel he used a mo?
ment before to remove the honest sweat from
his brow.
"Oh, give me sassaparilly; that is about as
healthy as anything, I guess"" (Here the dea?
con's eyelid went back on him and dropped
quickly.)
"All right," replied the fountain-tender, as
he disappeared below the counter, and came up
a moment later with the drinking-glass con?
taining about three fingers of "sassaprilly," to
which he added the other ingredients and
handed if to the deacon. The latter drained
the contents to the dregs, then brushed the
froth from h's mouth, smacked his lips, and
said, "That syrup is a leetle stronger than they
generally make it, but my blood is out of or?
der, and I guess I'll take another glass;" at
the same time his eye-lid fluttered meaningly
as before.
The dose was repeated, and the soda water
bibber left the store. About half an hour after
he entered another establishment where a sign
announced "Soda and Mineral Waters on
Draught." It was noticed the Deacon walked
as if he had the string halt as he entered the
door,.and his spectacles were upside down on
his nose. He called for "Congress Water" at
thiB place, saying he "did not feel quite right,
and was afraid he had used too much syrup in
his soda water at tho other store, or else he was
bilious." His optical weakness exhibited itself
as he spoke, and returning the wink, the clerk
retired to a dark closet, then returning, filled
up a glass with plain "Congress" and gave it to
our now "tightually slight" friend, who swal?
lowed it without a murmur.
How many "sodas" the Deacon stored away
before he left the city we are unable to say, but
he was found late in the day asleep in his wag?
on, with a plow point for a pillow, and several
yards of Dolly Varden calico gracefully draped
about his person as a covering. He revived
sufficiently to inform a stranger that he had
been "drugged," and a subsequent visit to the
localities where he had taken soda water, de?
veloped the fact that his unfortunate habit of
winking?a defect over which he had no con?
trol?was the cause of all his trouble. The
soda water dispensers supposed him to be "one
of the boys," and, every time his eye-lid drop?
ped, took the hint The Deacon escaped the
"jim-jams," but says hereafter he will wear a
blinder over that eye when he purchases sum?
mer drinks, or else write his order on a slate.?

Strength of Will and Strength of
Mind.?A very clear illustration of the dis?
tinction between strength of will and strength
of mind was once given by a gay young fellow
who probably had never read a page of meta?
physics in his life. This young gentleman,
whose friends called him Boo for shortness, was
of an exceedingly nervous temperament, and
any unusual indulgence in wine was sure to
leave him in a shaky and unhappy condition.
Bob had a consequential acquaintance named
Waffles, who was gifted with the absorbing
qualities of a sponge, and who, although in the
habit of drinking much more freely than Bob,
was never known to exhibit any signs of ine?
briety.
One morning Waffles called upon his friend,
whom he found seated on the stool of repen?
tance, with a wet towel bound round his head,
and several empty soda bottles by his side ; and
shocked at the sight, he began to moralize.
"So you were tight again last night, eh ?"
said Waffles. "Now, why don't you do as I
do ? When I have drunk enough I atop. You
should have more strength of mind, and imi?
tate me."
"Strength of mind !" snarled Bob, who, ner?
vous and irritable, had very little disposition
to submit to a temperance lecture from such a
source ; "what the deuce has strength of mind
to do with it? Strength of will, yon mean."
"Well," quoth Waffles, "what is the differ?
ence ?"
"I'll tell you the difference," retorted Bob
vindictively; "brutes have no mind at all, but
a jackass has more st rei?gth of will than any
being that breathes."
? A man in Syracuse, says an exchange,
finds himself under the necessity of writing a
long letter to a newspaper in favor of kissing
at church sociables. We have never taken
sides in this discussion of this interesting and
important subject, but we are inclined to think
that if it became clearly apparent that the
cause of public morality would be materially
adanced and the efficiency of the ecclesiastical
system largely increased by the introduction of
this invigorating exercise at sociables, we
would readily sacrifice whatever personal feel?
ing we have in the matter and favor it, provi?
ded this office is permitted to have a represen?
tative present to form an opinion of the mate?
rial operation of the system.
? An exchange truly says: "Good roads ben?
efit every one residing along their course.?
Good roads save horse flesh, they facilitate the
transportation of the produce to market, they
save your temper, they increase the value of
lands, they lend attractiveness to the eye of a
stranger, they increase the traffic and business
of a town by its vitality in all brauches of
traffic. Show us a town which receives a large
country trade by means of the fine roads lead?
ing to it, and wo will show you a place that is
lively, progressive and thrifty, with money cir?
culating in plenty, and men in all branches of
industry busy aa boavers." J
Self-Lore and Selfishness.
It is generally supposed that selfishness is
only self-love running to seed. It is thought
that the natural affections whieh each man
bears to himself, and which all admit to be
necessary and right, if not controlled and kept
within strict limits, will swell, till finally be?
come
A monster of such frightful mien,
That to be hated needs but to be seen.
Most of the crusades against selfishness are
attempts to set the limits of self-love?to affix
the bounds beyond which it may not pass, and
to find the point where, as is said, it begins to
degenerate into selfishness. This point will,
however, never be found, simply because the
two things do not run into one another, but are
distinct and really antagonistic in their nature.
All admit that at least some amount of self-love
is both inevitable and necessary. Our very ex?
istence depends upon it, and consequently all
our powers for good in any direction. But
what is self? Who can define it ? Who can
limit it ? It is body and soul, matter and mind,
substance and spirit. It includes sensations,
passions, desires, faculties, thoughts, powers,
ideas, will, affections, emotions, conscience.
Our conceptions of its possibilities and our
knowledge of its varieties are ever increasing,
and will continue to do so with very fresh in?
sight into its mysteries. There is, however, an
aristocracy among these various portions.?
They must all be recognized and provided for,
but some are higher and some lower, and the
lower can only fulfill their true mission or at?
tain their own perfection by ministering to
the higher. Thus the appetites are to be re?
spected in proportion as they subserve health
of body ana clearness of mind; if they are
made an end and not a means, they sink into
vice and produce degradation. So with all the
rest. Self-culture is the due apportioning and
regulating of these various parts, and true self
love is the spirit that induces such culture.
The mistake that is made is in regarding self
as including only the lower nature, the appe?
tites, passions, and desires for pleasure, or rich?
es, or fame, or power. These, it is true, taken
alone, come often into conflict with the happi?
ness of others, but to love them is not to love
self, but only a small part of it, and that part
the least worthy of honor. Mackintosh says
"the weakness of the social affections, and the
strength of the private desires constitute sel?
fishness," and a true self-love will tend to
strengthen the affections and regulate the de?
sires, thus becoming itself a powerful foe to
selfishness. There is no antagonism between
an enlightened self-love and a pure benevo?
lence. If their motives are distinct, their ef?
fects are similar. The command to love our
neighbor as ourselves imposes no limit on our
self-love. On the contrary, the increase of the
one necessitates the increase of the other. All
history shows that the permanent good of the
individual is also that of the community, and
that of one nation is also that of the world.
This truth is becoming recognized and acted
upon. Peaceful negotiations or arbitrations
are superceding the horrors of war, and the
most profitable commercial dealings are now
known to be those which recognize the com?
mon interest of both parties. The modern sys?
tem of insurance well illustrates this law. The
heavy burdens which loss by fire, shipwreck
and death inflict, are now shared by the many,
instead of descending with crushing weight
upon the few?yet each man, both the insurer
and insured, enters into it for his own benefit,
and his enlightened self-love makes him a pub?
lic benefactor.
We are indissolubly bound to one another,
and no man is by himself complete or indepen?
dent. Directly he regards himself so, he sac?
rifices his own highest interests. We lean and
depend on each other, we prune away each
other's redundancies, and supply each other's
deficiencies. Our affections are as truly our?
selves as out appetites,, our social nature as our
physical, our moral sense as our desires. In?
deed, < ur higher natures are most truly our?
selves, and he who sacrifices them to anything
less worthy can not be said to have, in his full
meaning, an enlightened self-love. In this
large and true sense, self-love will lead us to be
just and honerable in all our dealings, kind and
faithful in all our intercourse, merciful and
compassionate to the unfortunate, beneficicnt
to the needy, loving and true to our kindred
and friends. If a man love not his neighbor,
he can not truly love himself, for he ignores his
best and highest self, and only indulges in In?
ferior nature at the expense, not only of his
neighbor's good, but also of his own.?Phila?
delphia Ledger.
Look to the Mules.?The farm-stock are
doing severe work at this season, and should be
carefully looked after. The maxims of the
war, "Infantry, look to your feet," "Cavalry,
look to your horses," are suggestive to planters
while they are conducting active operations
against grass and weeds. Plow stock is all the
dependence, and without sufficient animals
there is little hope of success.
After the toilsome round of each day is over
negroes are too apt to seek their own rest be?
fore they have provided for the comfort of their
animals. The mule or horse that has drawn
i the plow sixteen or twenty miles in the dav,
and is expected to do the same to-morrow needs
to be abundantly fed, and deserves to have
comfortable accomodation. The feeding
troughs should be so arranged that no waste
may occur, and the stables locked so that no
conscienceless thief may rob the poor brutes of
their rations. Bedding of good quality should
be provided, so that they may really rest and
sleep. It is too often the case that this requi?
site is overlooked, and animals have not oven a
smooth surface on which to stand or lie, but
take only what rest they can iu uncomfortable
positions. This is necessarily hurtful to them,
and the loss to the planter in the inefficiency
of their work, is considerable, not to speak of
the loss of manure which is made from the
bedding.
Self interest and common humanity demand
attention to tho details of all stable arrange?
ment, and never are they more important than
now, when the work of every plow animal is
needed to its fullest extent?Banner of the
South and Planters' Journal.
Ax Innocent Man Vindicated.?The
Jacksonville (111.) Journal relates the following
singular occurrence, showing how sometimes
innocent parties suffer from unjust accusa?
tions :
Fifteen years ago one Sam Steele worked on
a farm for Mr. George Barbour, who lived a
mile and a half north of this place. One day
Mr. Barbour came to town, bringing his wife.
Before starting he called in Steele, and in his
presence put S250 in a bureau drawer, locked
it up, and delivered to him the key of the
drawer, as well as the key to the house, telling
him to take care of both for the day. Return?
ing home at night, and recounting the money,
Mr. Barbour found that a $60 bill was missing.
Steele, who was the only one that knew of the
whercabonts of the money beside Mr. B., de?
nied all knowledge of the missing bill, declar?
ing that he had not entered the room since he
did so with Barbour. The lattor maintained
that Steele must know something about it, and
finally discharged him from his service. Steele
left and has not been heard of since. A few
days since Mr. Barbour found the missing $50
in the back part of his bureau, caught in the
frame. One half of the bill was worn away by
rubbing of the drawer as it had been pulled
backwark and forward. When he found it he
burst into tears, conscience-stricken from hav?
ing unjustly accused and censured Steele.
? The New York Mail says that the author?
itative mandate has at last been promulgated
by Victoria, and trailing dresses on the street
arc declared positively vulgar, while those that
just touch arc not the thing at all. All the

water are made short enough to clear the

and common sense. Take a reef in your skirts,

A Clever Swindler.
As a certain learned judge in Mexico, some
time since, walked one morning into court, he
thought he would examine whether he was in
time for business; and, feeling for his repeater,
found it was not in his pocket. ?
"As usual," said he to a friend who accom?
panied him, as he passed through the crowd
near the door, "as usual, I have again left my
watch at home under my pillow,"
He took his seat on the bench, and thought
no more of it. The court adjourned, and he
returned home. As soon as he was quietly
seated in his parlor, he bethought him of his
time-piece, and turning to his wife, requested
her to send for it to their chamber.
"But, my dear judge," said she, "I sent it to
you three hours ago!"
"Sent it to me, my dear ? Certainly not 1"
"Unquestionably," replied the lady; "and by
the person you sent for it."
"The person I sent for it I" echoed the judge.
"Precisely, my dear, the very person you
sent for it 1 You had not left home more than
an hour when a well dressed man knocked at
the door and asked to see me. He brought
one of the finest turkeys I ever saw, and said
that on your way to court you met an Indian
with a number of fowls. Having bought this
one at a bargain, you had given him a couple
of reals to bring it home, with the request that
I would have it killed, picked and put to cook,
as you intended to invite your brother judges
to take dinner with you to-morrow. 'And,
oh! by the way, senorita,' said he, 'his excel?
lency the judge requested me to ask you to give
yourself the trouble to go to your chamber,
and take his watch from under the pillow,
where he says he left it as usual this morning,
and send it to him by me,' and of course, me,
querido, I did so."
"You did I" said the judge.
"Certainly," said the lady.
"Well," replied his honor, "all I can say to
you, my dear, is that you are as great a goose
as the bird is a turkey. You've been robbed,
madam; the man was a thief; I never sent
for my watch; you've been imposed upon, and
as a necessary consequence, the watch is lost
forever."
The trick was a cunning one; and after a
laugh, and the restoration of the judge's good
humor by a good dinner, it was resolved actu?
ally to have the turkey for to-morrow's dinner
and his honor's brothers of tho bench to enjoy
so dear a morsel. Accordingly after the ad?
journment of court next day, they all repaired
to his dwelling, with appetites sharpened by
the expectation of a rare repast. Scarcely had
they entered and exchanged the ordinary salu?
tations, when the lady broke forth with con
fratulations to his honor upon the recovery of
is stolen watch.
"How happy am I," she exclaimed, "that the
villain was apprehended I"
"Apprehended?" said the judge, with sur?
prise. "You are always talking riddles; ex?
plain yourself, my dear. I know nothing of
thief, watch or conviction."
"It can't be possible that I have been again
deceived," quoth the lady; "but this is the
story: About one o'clock to-day, a pale and
rather interesting young gentleman, dressed in
a seedy suit of black, came to the house in
great haste?almost out of breath. He said
that he was one of the clerks; that the great
villain who had the audacity to steal your hon?
or's watch had just been arrested, that the evi?
dence was nearly perfect to convict him, and all
that was required to complete it was the tur?
key, which must be brought into court, and for
that he has been sent with a porter by your ex?
press orders."
"And you gave it to him?"
"Of course I did 1 Who could have doubted
him, or resisted the orders of a judge?"
"Watch and turkey both gone S Pray, mad?
am, what are wo to do for dinner?"
But the lady had taken care of her guests,
notwithstanding her simplicity, and the party
enjoyed both the joke and viands.
? This is a bilious country, that is the peo?
ple who live here are especially liable to bil?
ious diseases. There is, perhaps, no better
preventive of bilious diseases than the con?
stant use of fruit as a diet. It corrects the ac?
ids and juices of the stomach and assists diges?
tion. It keeps the bowels properly active and
prevents that sluggishness and torpidity, which
promotes bilious derangements. Fruit to do
its best office in the diet should be cooked and
eaten as a part of the regular meal. Thus used
how delicious it is I How it adds to the pleas?
ure of a meal to have it enriched with so deli?
cate and agreeable an article of diet 1 How
chaste and elevating is the tendency of such a
diet compared with one of solid meat and bread.
So it is; the best diet is really the pleasantest
?therefore, let fruit grow on our farms, and
adorn and make pleasant all our tables.
? Diarrhoea is a very common disease in
summer-time. Cholera is nothing more than
exaggerated diarrheea. When a man has died
of diarrhoea, he has died of cholera, in reality.
It may be well for travelers to know, that the
first, the most important and the most inde
spensable item in the arrest and cure of loose?
ness of the bowels, is absolute quietude on a
bed; nature herself always prompts this by
disinclining us to locomotion. The next thing
is to eat nothing but common rice, parched like
coffee, and then boiled, and taken with a little
salt and butter. Drink little or no liquid of
any kind. Bits of ice to be eaten ana swal?
lowed at will. Every step taken in diarrhoea,
every spoonful of liquid, only aggravates the
disease.
? The Washington Patriot thus records an
instance of petty malignity on the part of
Grants' friends in Congress: "Mr. E. V. Smal
lcy, the able and well-known correspondent of
the New York Tribune, who has for a series of
veare occupied the position as clerk to the
House Committee on Military Affairs, was no?
tified a day or two since, that he must resign,
or be resigned to dismissal, because it was not
deemed proper that 'an employee of the enemy
(the Trioune) should hold any position under
or receive any emolument from the Adminis?
tration.' Mr. S. consequently yesterday wrote
a valedictory to the Committee, and gracefully
retired to his seat in the reporters gallery."

statement that Horace Greeley married a North

self in a box, and was carried out of jail. Un?

his former apartment.

SEWING MACHINE
The Best Machine in the World.
THIS assertion is made by all agents selling
Sewing Machines?that is, their's is the
best; but what I wish to say is this:
For every person who wants a Machine at
this time, or think they may get one at some
future time, to call and see for themselves some
time while in Anderson. I will take great
pleasure in exhibiting this unrivalled Sewing
Machine to you.
The Ladies arc especially invited to call. It
is needless for me to enumerate the long list of
different kinds of work, but suffice it to say
that it will do everything ever done on a Sew?
ing Machine. It runs very light, makes very
little noise, and the best of all, it has by far the
least machinery; therefore less liable to get out
of order. Besides, I will keep the Machine in
good order for Ten years.
My office is in the Masonic Hall, where I
always keep from twenty to thirty Machines on
hand. It is worth your trouble for coming
simply to see so many labor-saving machines
together.
ELIAS CLARKE is carrying the Machines
through the country, and will visit any one's
house wishing to see the Machine. So now is
tho time to get something to help the weary
wife, mother, sister or friend out in their work.
Respectfully,
JOHN H. CLARKE,
Agent, Anderson, S. C.
