The consequence is we have a lot of email pegs in big holes An old negro, who was slowly walking out Peachtree the other af ternoon, was very much surprised to see a lady go driving by, with the ? coachman sitting on the rear seat ! with his arms folded The old j negro took off his bat and siowiy scratched hie whitening head a puz zled expression overspreading his face He at last turned to a gentle man passing near and said : 4\S7cuse me, master, but how much you 'spo6e dat nigger have ter pay dat lady to drive him about ? '-Atlanta Jour nai The engineers and workmen cn the Juugfrau railway, who are obligee to remain considerable time at an altitude of about 10,U?? feet above the sea level, are apt to develop a disagreeable complaint, says the Scientific American.

Dec 30-o Between the strong warranty you get on Champion Binders I Mowers, And the contract you sign when you buy any other kind. A warranty is of no value except it is in exact form as issued by the company, and, if changed in any way, the com? pany is not bound by it, nor is it any protection to you. The Champion warranty is an evidence of the superiority of the machines, and is made strong and positive for your protection. The warranties given with other machines are carefully drawn for the protection of the manufacturer, and if you sign ane, the chances are that you will have to settle for the ma? chine even if it is not satisfactory. These warranties are a good thing for the machine company, but a poor thing for you. All warranties state that machines are durable, well made, and of good materials, and give you one day:s trial to deter- j mine all this. What can you tell about the durability of a machine by using it one day ? But how about its work in the field ? This you can tell at least something about, but there isn't one word about it in the j warranty, only some directions about what you are to do when ! the machine doesn't work well. Isn't this singular ? How about wasting grain between the binder deck and the j elevator? About lack of power when compressing the bun-j die '! How about the loss of power on the push bar Mower j when cutting tough grass ? Just at the time you need the most j power you have the least. In their advertising all makers claim to have a device for keeping the knife and pitman in line, but only the Champion has it, and others dare not put it in the warranty. You should insist on having these very important features j included in the warranty. If you do, we may have on oppor tunity of selling you a Champion, for other machines are not j capable of fulfilling any such broad warranty. j Lampion tteaper? anc Binders, Champion Mowers Thomas Hakes, For Sale by o f?te?herg & Sole Agents for Sumter. 9 ST _-~-a E?r^? ^^^S BfcTIIRE i l t ^^^^J^Si^ A Radica.
