EDWARDS IN LUCK. | For several years past coal has| been known te exist on the farm of | J. P. Edwards adjoining the city on | the northwest, and in several places mining operations haye been carried | onin asmall way. While digging a pond not long since Mr. Edward’s took out quite a lot of coal, and dis- | covered what he believed te be a permanent vein ef coal. Men were | put to work making further investi | gations, and have succeeded in find- ing to a certainty that the vein is net only permanent and lasting, but that | it 1s fully three feet thick and im places even thicker. Mr. Edwards will put an addition- al number of experienced miners at work immediateiy with a view of supplying all local demand for coal. The place of discovery is within a gun shot ef the court house, and tends to demonstrate what has so often been said that there is plenty of black diamond within our midst. The deposit 1s found under a sur— tace of about seven feet, and is a most excellent quality of coal, equal to that tound in the vicinity of Wal- aut. SPRAGUE JOTTINGS.

It is not to be denied that a sewing machine is one of the most important appurtenances of the mod- ern household. We thought machine our household — until one day the agent of the New Home presented himself at our door and proceeded todeliver an oration upon its characteristic merits. “‘But,’’ we answered, our machine serves us nicely and suits us well, and we do not care for another.”’ The agent, however, begged the privilege of leaving one of his ma- chines with us, ‘‘for the ladies to try,’” The request was not unreasonable so we granted it—but more to oblige the agent than anything else; for we really did not want the machine, and had not the remotest idea of buying it. The machine once in the it was natural that the ladies look it over; they did so, and a consequence tell in love with it. They say that without the slightest wish to decry or disparage any oth- er machine, this, all things consider- ed, is, in their opinion, the most de- sirable one to be had. The upshot ot the whole Was that theold machine was posed ot, and the ‘‘Light-Running New Home’? instalied in our house- hold. It is pronounced a genuine we had a_ good in house, saould as matter dis- beauty and a real comfort, and ‘‘our | folks’? wanted us to tell other folks about it.
