IMPORTANT TO

MANY years experience in stock

cheap and efficient machine that would
answer the purpose, has prevcuted ma

For grinding fine meal for family ufe,
crushing corn and - cob together for
stock, and shelling corn, and other pur
poses, does so in a full belief that it will

years in the State of Arirginia over
700 are now in use in Virginia and
Ni rth Carolina. Thousands :ire now
in use in the Southwest and North.
Hundreds will, on application, testify
to their usefulness on a farm.
All we ask is to give them a fair tri
al. They are warranted to grind line
corn and cob meal; corn meal, from
which two-thirds can be sifted for
bread; hominy, coarse or fiut'j grind
ing of wheat, barley, rye, &c. and is a
good corn shelter. Quantity varying
according to power applied.
Having purchased from the Agent of
the inventor the exclusive right of sell
ing and usin2; these mills in the county
of old Edgecombe, we take pleasure in
recommending them to the farmers in
the above county; and from a desire to
have them in general use, we will sell
them at Fortv-five Dollars as we re

adding the expense of la'nr.
