Humorous fjrpartment. The Squire's Georgia Widow.?"Oh!" says the Squire, "I wish I was married, an' well over it. I dread it powerfully. I'd like to marry a widow. I allers liked widows, since I know'd one down in Georgia, that suited my ideas adzactly. "About a week after her husband died, she started do\vn to the graveyard, whar they planted him, as she said, to read the proscription onto his monument. When she got thar, she s'tood a minute a lookin' at the stones which was put at each eud of the grave, with an epithet on 'em, that the minister had written for her. Then she burst out: , " 'Oh ! boo,' says she ; 'Jones, he was one of the best of men. I remember how the last, limp ha rame home, about a week aco, he brought down from town some s.ugnr and a little tea, and some store goods for me, and lots of little necessaries, and a little painted hoss for Jeems, which that blessed child got his mouth all yaller with suckin' of it; and then he kissed the children all round, and took down that good old fiddle of his'n, and played up that good old tune: 'Rako her down, Sal, oh ! rang dang! diddle! Oh! rang dang diddle, rang dang da!' "Here," says the Squire, "she began to dance, and I just thought she was the greatest woman I ever see." The Squire always gave a short laugh after telling this anecdote, and then filling and lighting his pipe, subsided into an ann chair in front of the "Exchange," and indulged in calm and dreamy reflections. A Base Conspiracy Defeated.?A close guess was made in a Hartford saloon the other day. In one portion of a money-drawer was a large number of pennies. Among the frequenters of the place was a man always ready to make a bet. It occurred to the proprietor of the place, who had been taken in a good many times by the betting man, to lay for him. He took a friend into his confidence, and the pair made up their minds to beat the fellow with the contents of the money-drawer. So they counted the pennies and found there were just 625 of them. Then they laid low for their opportunity. That' evening the betting man was on hand, and in a manner not to excite suspicion the saloon-keeper said to his friend : "I wonder how many pennies there are in this drawer?" The betting chap pricked up his ears and remarked: "Let each of us put up #5, and the one who comes nearest to the number shall take the pot." This was agreed to, and the saloon-keeper marked 624, his friend 626, and the fellow that was really ignorant of the number, and whom they expected to trap, by the merest Afmnra nut his fi&rures at 625. The astonish-1 ment of the two sharpers was no greater than the wonder of the other at the remarkably sharp guessing. After this the betting man was boss of the saloon.?Hartford (Conn.) Times. Keeping Grocery.?In a town up the Hudson two farmers had an itching last spring to go into trade, and after canvassing the object for a spell, they put in $1,000 each and opened a grocery. Trade was dull, both had large families, and they finally concluded to dissolve partnership. In this frame of mind they consulted a lawyer, who asked : "What is the value ofthe stock on hand?" "About $1,200." "And how much do you owe ?" "About $400. "Very well. I see my way clear. Mr. Smith, you will draw out the good will for your share, and I'll throw in a barrel of molasses for your family. Mr. Brown you take all accounts, and I'll throw in a keg of pickles." "And what's to become of the store?" "Oh, you'll assign all the goods to me, for the trouble iu paying the debts and giving you legal advice. Those farmers sometimes stop to think of it as they lean on their hoes and rest their aching backs, but they cannot make it clear. ?Wall Street News. An Uncertain Property.?About the beginning of the war a wealthy citizen of Lexington, Ky., and formerly a large slaveowner, hat! been frequently importuned by one of his negro men to allow him to buy himself. The planter hesitated on account of the particular usefulness of the man. But as the war wore on, and the overthrow of the Southern cause became merely a question of time, he very naturally began to think more favorably of the negro's proposition. So meeting him on his wagon one day, he said, "Solomon, I believe you've said something to me two or three times about wanting to buy yourself^and I have been thinking over it, and have made up my mind to let you do so." "Yes, Marse William," returned Solomon, "I did want to buy myself; but I bin studden about it right smartly lately, sah, and I dun come to de 'elusion dat in dese times nigger property is too onsarten, sah, to put any money in, so I doan' think I'll buy myself jist yit." Reasonable.?At the last term of the Butler county, Kan., district court a young law student made application to Judge Iceland to be admitted to practice. The judge appointed a committee of three to examine him, which is usual in such cases. The student passed the examination, and was duly declared a ftill-fledged lawyer, to the surprise of some of the older members of the bar. "How was it?" asked one of these. "Well," replied one of the examining committee, "we asked him about two hundred questions and he answered every one of them truthfully." "How was that ?" queried the older member. "He simply answered by saying 'he didn't know,' and he told the truth every time. As truthful lawyers are very scarce in this district, we concluded that it would be a good idea to admit him, even if he didn't know any law." W3T A citizen who was doing some marketing, had his attention attracted to a boy about twelve years of age, who seemed anxious to get hold of one of the big watermelons piled up in the market. It seemed like a good chance to sow a seed in the lad's mind, and the citizen beckoned to the boy and queried : "My son, would you like to steal one ofj those melons?" "Yes, sir," was the prompt reply. "You would, eh ? I am sorry to hear that. If you should steal one of those melons, my boy, do you know what the result might be?"* The lad scratched his head, surveyed the pile again and answered: "I 'spect the plaguey thing would be green all the way through !" t&T This diverting story is related by Mrs. Andrew Lang: In the days of my childhood a friend of my own was informed by a favorite house-maid that she wished to give warning, as she was going to be married. "Indeed." suid the lady, "and what is your future husband?" "Please, 'm, he's an asker!" "A what ?" "An asker." "I don't understand. What does he do?" "Well, 'in, he?he goes about the street, and if he sees any one coining along that looks kind he?well, he just stops 'em and asks 'em to give him a trifle, and he makes quite a comfortable living that way." "I)o you mean a beggar?" "Well, 'm, some people do call it that; we call it afcker."

By invitation of the executive committee of the Mississippi Horticultural Society, Colonel \V. It. Stuart, owner of the famous pecan groves of Ocean Springs, Miss., prepared the following interesting paper, which was read by the secretary of the association at its recent session in Jackson. The paper is commended particularly to young men who arc ablo to procure a few acres of ground, to he planted in pecans. They can, after planting the nuts, go ahead and give attention toother things, leaving the trees to grow. It will he surprising to note how rapidly the time will pass, and certainly it will he pleasant to contemplate that by little trouble and expense one can provide for an almost certain source of income after the lapse of a few years. This is Colonel Stuart's paper: "Whatever may be said of forest trees for shade, shelter and ornament, I confess to a s]?ccial regard for the nut bearers. "Pecan culture is my hobby. I know nothing particular about nut hearing trees in general. I have had some experience in pecan culture, but do not know it all hv a great deal. I do know that pecan culture is the safest investment in all our laud. When I was fifty-six, I bought the largest and best paper shell pecans I could find, paying $1 per pound for them, and planted the nuts. When sixty-eignt. i got wm-u ?iAlanine, I received $700 to $800, This year I was seventy in November, and I will get $1,500 to $2,000 from the sale of my young trees and nuts. One tree gave me two years ago 117 pounds, which I sold for $117. Last year I got only eight nuts from the same tree. This year I will get about 150 pounds. Pecans have off years. A planter putting 500 trees in a grove, ought to plant 1(M) trees every year, then he will have plenty of pecans every year. Every species of nuts, acorns, pecans, hickory nuts, etc., should be planted as soon as possible after fully ripe and matured; kept too long they become dry. "In planting pecans, it is wisdom to select such varieties as are fruitful, large and of best quality. Plant the pecan nut where you wish the tree to stand permanently, I think is best, or in the nursery, as you please. I cut the tap root at one year old, before planting out in the grove. Properly transplanted and cultivated pecan trees will show a little fruit in seven yeurs. In ten years they will come into profitable bearing. The pecan is a beautiful shade tree. "The subject of pecau growing is becoming vastly interesting all over the Gulf States, for grouping the very large hard shell, and paper shell pecan is a very profitable business. In raising the valuable nuts to supply the markets of the world, the point is to make no mistake in the beginning. Plant trees produced only from large, choice seed. There is no need to emigrate to California if we desire to grow nuts. We have a variety indigenous to the Mississippi Valley, which will always sell for more per pound than Their air lew men, comparatively, in any j business, who earn more than a good living, ami lie who can show a clear profit of a lew hundred dollars yearly is doing finely. Most men who clear more do it at a prat risk, and of those whose work is speculative, more j fail than succeed. I ft here he great dissatisfaction among those who are engaged in farm work, much of the dissatisfaction aries from the mistaken idea ' that every other business pays better. -Farm j and Kaiich. SoitK TilitoAT.?Dissolve one drachm ofj chlorate of potash in half a pint of water, | and gargle the throat therewith; a few ap- j plications will allay inflammation. the English walnut, and it is much superior in all respects to the latter. (I need not tell you that I allude to the pecan.) A grove of pecans will cost less and bring much lietter returns than the walnut. The demand for the former is increasing every year. "Besides there can he no danger of overstocking the market for years and years, as England, France and Europe generally know as yet little about the pecan. "The extinction of our native groves is only a question of time as there is no special protection given them. The nut gatherers destroy hundreds of them every fall cutting them down in order to obtain the nut more easily. What vandalism! I advise our young men to plant pecans. "The young tree should be set at least 40, 50 or even 60 x 60 feet if the land is very rich. "The trees must he worked and kept clean for five or six years. They should be forced and kept growing when cultivating 'your crops. You work and care for your trees in this way and you will have in ten years from seed a good paying pecan grove, and then what a pasture you will have for your Jersey cattle. "An old Creole tradition comes to me through one of the most cultured men in Mississippi. He got it from an old Frenchman. Plant pecan nuts on the third, fourth and fifth days of the new moon in January and your trees will come into bearing in a few years. I do not vouch for it, but planted 4000 nuts last January on the 22d, 23d and 24th in my nursery to sell this winter and plant out." THE COTTON PLANT. According to good authority the cotton plant was grown long before the Christian era. Many persons are under the impression that Cortes was the first discoverer of cotton, having found it in Yucatan in 1519, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. There seems to he some doubt as to this speqics of cotton being the same as that which was known to the ancient inhabitants of India. These people raised cotton as early as 500 B. C., and made clothing of it, too, at that remote period. India still produces cotton? somet hing over 1,000,000 bales a year?which is shipped to England and there manufac tured. Still a large portion or the eotton crop of the United States goes to England for manufacture also. American cotton is of a much better quality than the India cotton, and is used for making the finest classes of English cotton goods. The India cotton is used for coarse fabrics, and even then a good deal of American cotton is mixed with it to improve the texture. Cotton was also raised in China 200 years B, C., though that country was never regarded as a source of supply for the staple. Central and South America and the West Indies, though now little regarded as cotton producing countries, formerly ranked lygh | in this respect. Cotton fabrics have long been known to [ the Peruvians. There is evidence that it j was successfully cultivated by them as early | as 1532, or in the time of the Incus. The West India or Sea Island cotton has, the longest, silkiest staple, and it is of this; variety that sewing thread is mostly made. \ The cultivation of cotton in the West India islands, however, has been largely sup-! planted by sugar, which seems to be more profitable. Brar.il is a good cotton country, and much of the staple has been raised there for a num-! her of years. .Cotton is also raised in Italy, Australia,! Cape of (?ood Hope, Natal, Fiji and Tahiti,! but in small quantities compared with the! production in the Southern States of this j country. Cotton began to he raised in the United i States, to a limited extent, as early as 1770. but it was not until alter Eli Whitney got bis, cotton gin on the market (about 17!)5,) that cotton began to assume such large proportions as the king of Southern agriculture. Whitney was poorly rewarded for his wonderful invention, however, as many another public benefactor has been. A Thkkk Milk Farm.?There is a young farmer in this county who runs a three mule farm, who has sold this year three hundred ' dollars worth of farm produce in addition to! the cotton he made hist year. He has kept an account of the income from his products,! and the above amount is correct. In his neighborhood are several other | young farmers who make their side crops pay their expenses?that is all necessaries,! such as clothing for themselves and families I and such articles of food as they do not produce are purchased with money by selling corn, hams, poultry,butter, eggs, dried fruit, and numerous other articles in that line. The writer knows that these young men ; are adding yearly to their property. They j are good citizens, industrious men, and arc prospering, yet tlicy do not do more bard work than many others who are not doing i near so well. They are working on tlici right line. Farming like every other business pays when the expenses arc less than the income,: and like every other business it is a failure j when you reverse these conditions. ^Miscellaneous | Pecans in Abbeville.?The Yorkville Enquirer of late, lias had something to say of pecan culture, and a few weeks ago that paper spoke of a large pecan tree in York. Abbeville is seldom behind on any question, and we believe the pecan business is no exception to the general rule. In 1845, or '40 or '47, Mrs. James Shillito, of this village, planted a pecan, which has grown and thrived, until today at three feet from the ground, it measures eighty-two inches in circumference. The top is widespreading, of symmetrical growth, and is beautiful to look upon. It has been hearing fruit for many years, though some years the crop is larger than in others?the largest yield being estimated at. ten bushels. Since ibis tree began to hear, its fruits have fallen into good ground, and other trees of the same variety sprung up and are to he found in almost every part of the lot. The largest specimen being nearly as large as the parent tree, and also hears a large yield of nuts. The trees grow and tlourish readily, if the seed is planted where it is desired that the tree may grow, hut not one in half a dozen that arc transplanted will live. They arc hardy and of good growth if undisturbed where they come up, and the trees are of such shape as. to he ornamental jus well jus profitable because of the valuable crop which t.liov nrnilnee. I The parent tree, of which we speak, grows a nut which is said to he larger and thinner of shell than the paper shell variety. The tree which is next of size, and which caine from a nut oil' the old tree, strange to say, has a shell which is noticeably thicker than the nuts of the parent tree. The only trouble with the pecan culture, as far as we know, is the depredations of the birds, which carry ofT great quantities of the nuts. The pecan is the tree in which the jay doth most delight. They eat the nuts or carry them off*, as taste or inclination may prompt, and it is supposed that they often drop them, as young pecan trees are to he found in the adjoining lots. Mrs. Shillito and her daughter, the late Mrs. H. W. Lawson, were lovers of the garden, and they delighted in the cultivation of the prettiest flowers, while the choicest fruit trees, and the rarest ornamental trees received their most careful attention, some of which will stand as monuments of their taste and skill for many yec.rs yet to come. Standing today on the lot of which we speak, may he found rare trees, such as English walnut, black walnut, pomegranate, varnish, mahogany, magnolia, mimosa, alantha, pyramidal cedar, cottonwood, ironwood, mock orange, osage ornnge, live oak, black hawe, aspin, honey locust, crepe myrtle and the most beautiful flowers of every description.?Abbeville Press and Banner. The Election ok President.?When no president is elected by the electoral college, or in plain parlance by the people, the house of representatives is to choose between the three highest candidates voted for. In that proceeding each State has but a single vote, and the vote of the delegation is cast by the majority present. Where no candidate has a majority of the delegation in attendance, the State loses her vote entirely. There are forty-four States. Of two of these it is claimed that the Alliance controls the majority of the delegation; in twelve the Republicans have a majority and in thirty the Democrats lave a majority. The Democratic candidate will surely l>e chosen, if the election is thrown into the house. It is said that there are sixteen solid Democratic delegations composed of 106 members, there are ten solid Republican delegations, but they have an aggregate membership of only 15. These are new States and little States, yet their vote in the choice of a president by the house counts equally with that of New York. In case the people do not elect, the vice president is chosen by the senate. But while the house can select the president from the three highest candidates, the senate must choose between the two highest for the vice president. And while in the house the vote is by t he States and each State has a single vote; in the senate the senators vote as ordinary occasions, and a majority of the senators elect. Thus if one of the New York senators is | sick and absent , Rhode Island's two senators,' voting together would have twice the power of New York in electing the vice president. Truly our system was called at first "the great experiment." But it is reasonably simple, and what is most desirable in government is simpliety so that misunderstandings need not arise?Raleigh Observer. The Married Man.?A married man always carries his condition with him, like a trade mark. Anybody of average discernment can detect him at a glance. He does not pinch his toes with tight boots. He does not scent himself with violets. He never parts his hair in the middle. He keeps his seat in the horse car when the pretty girl, laden with bundles, comes in; he knows that his wife wouldn't approve of his rising. He docs not get up flirtations with the good looking saleswoman where he buys his gloves; he remembers that little birds art flying all around telling talcs, and he has a. horror of curtain lectures; somehow, married men never seem to arrive at that state of beatitude where they appreciate the kind of literary performances known as curtain lectures. The married man has come to that state when he is convinced that the way his necktie hangs may not be any more important than his soul's salvation. He knows to a certainty that true happiness does not depend on the amount of starch in his shirt-bosom, but he will have to have been at least three times weded before he will he able to be reconciled to a collar-band two sizes small or one size large. The man who can smile at fate when it swoops down upon him in the shape of an ill-fitting collar-band is nearly ready for canonization.?N. Y. Weekly. Foolish Siikki\?A Colorado stockman savs that sheep raising is unprofitable, for (lie reason that no animal that walks on four legs is as big a fool as a sheep. Most animals can he relied on to aid the owner in saving their lives, hut sheep seem to set deliberately to work to kill themselves. If caught in a storm on the plains they will drift before the wind and die of cold and exposure rather than move 100 yards to windward to obtain shelter in their corral. To drive sheep against the wind is absolutely impossible. I once lost over 1,000 head because I could not drive them to a corral not two hundred feet away. In the corral they are still more foolish. If a storm comes up (hey all move "down wind" until stopped by a fence. Then they will climb over each other's backs until they are heaped up ten j feet high. Of course all those at the bottom | are smothered. Not one has sense enough to seek shelter under the lee of the fertee, as a horse or a dog would do. No Mo kk I) Kit mm icrs.?The traveling men in California object to the use of the word "drummer" as applied to members of their profession, and a movement is on foot to abolish the term. In olden times, says the San Francisco Merchant, when it was tin- wont of quacks, fakirs, and itinerant mountebanks to make periodical visits to country towns on market days, they would beat a big drum to call up a crowd. This was termed "drumming for trade," and it is presumed, and in fact generally accepted, that this is the origin of the offensive name. It is strange that in Fngland, whore the expression was lirst born, it is now unheard of in connection with commercial travelers. In that country traveling saleincn are called "bagmen," or "knights of the gripsack," but in no instance would any of the fraternity countenance such an appellation as that of "drummer." ?

January 7 I if DO YOU WANT A WATCH? 0 If You arc a Subscriber to THE ENQUIREK, We Offer You a Bargain that You Cannot Duplicate In America?Plain, Straightforward Business. No Quibbling. WE congratulate our readers and ourselves on an arrangement wo have just completed with one of the most reliable wholesale jewelry establishments in the United States by which we are enabled to furnish subscribers to Thk Enquiukk with reliable Watches, manufactured l)y t|lfi leading American companies, at prices nover i)efurc |,mrd of in this section. Now, before going any father, we desire to impress ?j)on i|u, subscribers of Tick Enquirkr | the fact that these watches are not "bankrupt" | goods, are not sold to close out or anything of I that style, but us we remarked above they are i strictly first class and just its represented. Wo j wish it distinctly understood that these watches | are not offered as premiums, nor will they bo j sold to any one who is not a yearly subscriber to I Thk Enquirkr. This is purely and simply a plan on our part ] to give u good thing to our subscribers jf they want it. Tlio American standard watches, the host time keepers in the world, are graded as seven, eleven, thirteen and fifteen jeweled, full jeweled and adjusted. Very few men?not one in tlve hundred?carry either an adjusted or even a fulljeweled watch. There is no reason -why any subscriber to Tiik Enuuiiikk should not nave a watch carefully adjusted to heat, cold and position, nor why any subscriber should not have a trustworthy thnc-keeper. Thk Enquikkii proposes to make "leaders" of the live styles described below. No. (KW.?Is a nickel silver hassino open fiieo case, which will wear equal to coin silver, litted ...HI. .. r t r,,ll ,,l??a mnvn. V> ILI1 II # IUHUI illliui ii.nu <uit Iin/I\i\; |/iu?v into v incut. Thin Watch is the equal for wear and time of a watch many times ita cost. The regular retail price of the watch is $8.50, hut wo propone to furnish it to our subscribers for $5.55. If a reliable time-keeper is all you want this watch will meet your requirements. No. (JI15.?Is an 18 Size, open face 10 karat gold filled Montauk case, guaranteed to wear for 15 years and it will wear a great deal longer. It is fitted with the same movement as No. 005. The regular retail prieo of this watch is ?19.00. We propose to furnish it to our subscribers for $12.25. No. 802.?This a No. 18 size with open face. It has a silver filled case with screw back and screw bezel, which makes them dust proof. These cases are made by Joseph Fahys and are as durablo in every particular as a solid silver case, the outsido or oxposed parts being made of solid coin silver. This case is fitted with a 15 jewel gilt Elgin or Waltham movement, as the purchaser may prefer. The regular retail price of the watch is &?2.00. Our price is $14.75. This watch is the equal as a timekeeper of any watch on the market, and is intended especially for those who have heavy work to do. You can't make a mistake in buying this watch. No. (158.?This is a lady's watch. It is a No. (Isize, 15 jewel nickel Elgin movement, fitted to a genuine "Boss 14 Karat'' gold filled case guaranteed to wear 20 years, and will wear much longer. If a Waltham movement is preferred to the Elgin, wo can furnish a 1 size Waltham 15 jewel nickel movement fitted to a "Crescent" 14 karat gold filled case, guaranteed to wear 20 years. The "Crescent" case is equal in every particular to the "Boss," and the reason for furnishing the "Crescent" case with the Waltham movement is that it won't fit the "Boss" case. The regular retail price of oifher of these watches is$40.00. Ourprice is$24.50. These watches are, indeed, beauties, and any lady may be proud to carry either of them. The cases are what is called a "double" or hunting. No. 52-1.?Is a No. 18 size, Boss hunting, 14 karat gold filled case guaranteed for 20 years. The case is handsomely engraved?it is a beauty. This case is fitted with a 15 jewel nickel Waltham or gilt Elgin adjusted movement, with patent regulator. This watch is undoubtedly one of best made in the United States, and the man who buys one will have a watch which he <1111 leave to his son when he 110 longer needs a watch. The regular retail price of the watch is $50.00. Our price is $29.75. For the information of those not familiar with gold filled cases, we will say that a 14 karat tilled case of either the Boss, Fahys or Crescent patent, is equal in appearance and wearing qualities to a 14 karat solid gold case. There are probably five gold tilled cases sold to one solid gold case, which proves very conclusively that a large majority ofthoso persons who buy watches do not care to nav a big price for the doubtful satisfaction of owning a Moliil gold ease. All tho above described watches are stein winders and stem setters, and are in every way just as represented. Their appearance, in beauty of design and finish, is far better than we can describe. Remember, too, that they are sold to you at these low figures because you lire a subscriber to Tiik Knuhiukh; and unless your name is 011 our books, or a year's subscription comes with your order, in addition to the price of the watch, we cannot and will not sell you a watch. Another point. These oilers must bo accepted exactly as wo make them. As our profits are very small, almost nothing compared to nrolits made by dealers, we cannot be bothered with correspondence further than the tilling of orders. .Select the style of watch you desire, send us the money by bank draft, money order or registered letter, and the watch will be promptly sent you. In ordering the watches order by the numbers given in Tiik KNqmitKit. Then we will know to a certainty'just what particular watch you desire. All watches are sent, as a rule, by registered mail, and in any event we prepay all charges. We do not keep any watches on hand, but every watch is sent direct from the wholesale dealers to the purchaser. It will take, therefore, from one to two weeks from the time you write us before your watch can reach you. Kacli watch is thoroughly tested before being scntout, and will reach you in good condition.

Sam M. f?it 1st, Agent ituekeye Mowing Machine, Yorkville, S. : Dear Sir?I have a Ituekeye Mowing Machine. It has been in use for three years and has never cost me a dollar for repairs and does as good work to-day as the lirst day I used it. Ft runs light and cuts clean. It will cut crab grass, clover, pea vines, nig weed, j or anything else that a reasonable man might ! want to mow. I can take my Ituekeye machine and cut as much bay in a day as any six men in York county can cut with scythes in the same length of time; and I rim take my Horse rake and rake up as much hay as ten men with forks can rake in a day. Neither my Mover or Hake have ever yet struck for higher wages or had an engagement to work for a neighbor when I wanted my grass cut, or anything of that kind. The Ituekeye mower is the best mowing machine of which I have any knowledge. Kvory farmer who wants to feed his stock at home, and not on Western bay and corn, should get a mowing machine and a horse rake and cut and save all his clover, crab grass, pea viuesaud nig weeds. Respectfully, UKO, I,. KIDDLK. Nkwton, N. <'., Mav, 1WI. A oilman, Miller A* t'o.: Dear Sirs?'The Ituekeye Mower bought of your Agent last season, lias given me entire satisfaction. 1 have used several different makes, mid consider the Ituekeye superior to any, and can recommend it to any in need of a Mower.

A nit man, Miller A' t'o.: Dear Sirs?Regarding the Ituekeye Mower I bought of your Agent, last season, will say it pleases me exactly. I would not want any better machine for my use. I am satisfied it will stand more hard and rough work and cost less to keep it up than any other machine sold in this country. Vcrvtrulv, K. A. Yo'DKR. | J atom's I-'okk, N. ('., Mav, 1sj#|.

Mr. John Wadsworth, the well known livery-1 mail, of Charlotte, N.

He uses ai Ituekeye Mowing Machine, and in speaking of it recently, said : "I have Ibiirdilferettl iiiakcsofi mowing machines, and the Ituekeye is only one of the lot that will stand my niggers." I have other testimonials eipially as strong as the above, but these arcsullicjelit to establish the fact that the "Itl'CK KYM" is the King of Mowers. If you want a mowing machine I refcryoii, without permission, to Mr. It. A. Parish and Dr. J. ! '.
