IMPORTANT TO MILLERs AND MILL OWNERS.
mHIS Machine received the first premium at
u the North Carolina State Fair, and was re-
commended to the public as the best now in
use in the State. Seven Hundred of them are
now running in North Carolina, all of which
are now in operation and have given the most
entire satisfaction, in regard both to perfor-
nance and durability, some having run six
years and perform as well now as they did at
first, and have not been out of order one day.
We have thrown out ten different Smut Ma
chimes to make room for this. They are war
ranted for five years, and delivered at the Mill
