Ell RlOUS sources that Tr adwel CO. Of this
city, are endeavoring to produce the Impression In
the farming community that am manufacturing the
Nanny Machine, am once more in the field, to as
sert that al such representations are unmitigated
fasehoods.
am not building the Nanny Machine, nor infring.

on the other hand, am building q Machine Of my
own invention, far superior, called tie

cost, machines much inferior to mine thew will he

and consequently the scene Of their operations thi
