From a gentleman who came down from
Atlanta on the rigular passenger one night
last week, we learu that quite an exciting
scene occurred on the cars. Just belore
leaving Atlanta a well.dressed negro man
entered the first-class coach, and taking a
seat, proceeded to make himself thoroughly
comfoitable. His presence was roon dis
covered, and when (be conductor cants
around the indignuot passengers made com
plaint, urging his removal to the second
class coach The conductor replied that he
bad no authority to put the negro oat oi the
car, but would remonstrate with him and
try to iiduce him to leave. Upon being
accosted, however, the negro stubbornly
maintain!d his B*-at, saying he had paid first
class fare and was entitled to a seat in the
first-class coach. Readily divining his char
acter, and recognizing the importance of
drawing the line somewhere, four or five
gentlemen, who had watched the result of
the conductor’s interview, now kindly under
took to show him the way to the forward
car. Well, he went, and stood not upon th«
•nder of his going, his movements being
greatly lacih'oted bv a vigorous appheation
o l shoe leather, and io less time than it takes
io ted it he had chared the space interven
ing between Ihe two cars and was seeking a
place of rest in ihe car to which he was
made to understand he belonged.
Mr. Editor: —(,’ommending your press
man for his desiie to be a fast pressman, let
me state for his benefit a little of my own
experience in the some line.
For several years—say from 1842 to 1845
I was pressman in the office in winch I
served nsy time. The paper bad, for tboae
times, a large circulation—some as
near as I can recollect. This was near eleven
tokens of 240 sheets I generally wafted
off the edition in from ten to twelve hours —
actual working time. The paper was about
the size of the Atlanta Daily Constitution—
an unwieldy she-I for a small boy to handle.
During two of these years we did the
State printing. Ol the Laws, 10,000 copies
were printed on each form. It took nte
three ai:d a half days per form, working an
hour or two in the night. 1 did. however,
repent*dly print the idition in less time.
W hen pressed, 1 could print on an aver
age five copies per minute for several hob re,
and was tint'd repeatedly by disinterested
persons. I lie press used was a large Wash
ington, and a good one, kept, too, as neat »s
possible
Let jour pres-man persevere. What I
and hui duds of others Lave done he tony
do; but be will have to keep his machine
well oiled, and himself in a condition fit to
work lor a b.gh prize— superiority.

Ten Good Reasons
• WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
NSjn, •
•nr m
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD I
Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the sum" being cat at the oroiier
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and ullowedjto remain there from 3 io
5 year®.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest improved machin
ery, and put together by the best Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d Our Patent Bevel Edged P ejecting Tirp saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a frozen rut. or on a rockv road.
4tli. The Thimble Skeins are made of select iron and weigh trout 4 to 25 pounds
per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break
sth. T e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes “X act pattern of th«
inside of the skein to which the«ixle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6th It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shonlder Spike is used, hence they
!'a v s the best wheel, which is aciuully the foundation of the wagon, and should be curelnlly
examined bv persons purchasing
7th The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein box“s are turned to fit on an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and tight fit, preventing the box from ev»r working loose, or allowing nil or watpr to soak
in between the box and the huh, as is the case in most makes of wagons where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest award of iivrit and the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position for exc*Hence ot material and superior workmanship in competition wi'h the world
9th The Studehaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to 'll* fireuu i as is generally the case in large factories
hence the superiority of ih dr work over all others. ,
lOtli. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so! Dealers who have sold them will tell you so I
