We presume there is hardly a lady to bo found in our broad land who, if she does not already poscess a sewing machine ex pects some day to beeorae the owner of one. But after the mmd has been made up to purchase one of these indispensable articles, the question arises as to what kind of a machine to buy. It should be so simply constructed that the most inexperienced- can successfully operate it. The other points mainly to be considered, and whioh-'are theinost de sirable, are durability, rapidity, capacity for work, ease of operation, regularity of motion, uniformity of tension, and silence while in operation. The 'Light-Running New Home" fills the above requirements, and is said to combine the good points of all sewing machines, with tho addition of many new improvements aud labor-saving devices The price is no higher than that of other machines, and every lady who pos sesses ' one may rest assured she has needed a treasure. See advertisement. SANDERS STORE LETTER. Sanders Store, N. C, May Gth, 1887. Spring has bem set back just 2 mouths with -'us. tore. March and April were both cold dry and windy, three very un favorable conditions for planters. Much damago was dono, and all crops hero felt jt, and some like peaches havo been en tirely cut off. There will be some plums and apples and peais. Mr. D. G. one of oiir best farmers says with all the set backs by the late spring he, is greatly troubled Vith mice which have destroyed his stand of corn, and cut worms which have eaten up nearly all his water melons He only has some 4 acres in melons, and in this he has employed his children to catch; the worms at half cent per dozen. Up to date they have caught 100,000, and he says that if the worming season lasts a month longer that it will take his planta tion for wOrm money. The children brought up at one time several large, gourds full at one time, and supposing his chickens would like to bay e a feast threw them down in the hen honse, and they caused such a consternation and fright (the chickeus be supposed, regarding the worms as an organized enemy come to avenge the attack made on some of their number while innocently feeding on the herbs of the field or garden) got into a panic, took to their legs and wings and have not been heard of 6ince. Mr. D. thinks tha$ if he had some wtCy of destroy-. ing these worms in. the ground his land would be as full of animal matter as S. C. is of Phosphate rock.' Mr. D. is a very pious gentlemen, and never uses cuss Words ! so he has beep, looking for some one who can do the subject that justice which the extraordinary circumstances in this case, he says, demands. I am mt authorised to advertise for such an em ployee but here is. a. good; chance for a rich jb, for somebody, and; as the job Is too. extensive, and our peojple too diffident to take hold, you might. Mr. Editor 6e.t up correspondence with Mr. D. Should you in your wid,e range of acquaintances know of- any one whom yo.u suppose might fill tfc bill. May has been a warm, plea&ent month so far, and vegetation thus encouraged has come. out of winter quarters, and ii now busily carpeting the earth with verdure, aud tho trees and shrubbery with rich fol-f iage. Such a rapid response to the call of Old Sol's warm embrace has rarely been scon, and the farmer and gardener, whose hearts have beeii 6s.d so long, are now awakening to Ihir wonted life, and are joining in with tho lftb in .songs of ghe uti .rpn.Vie. l " Corn i. being "chopped out."'
