HAET, Of Columbia, has succeeded in perfecting
ais invention of machine for making pegs for
shoes and boots. The machine is now in successful
operation in his town, and is turning out large
ausntlty Of very supeEer pegs every day, and Mr..
HART is filing orders for pegs daily, and he will
take pleasure in attending to all who may favor
him with call or an order for his pegs, which he
warrants to give satisfaction equal to if not better
than any Yankee shoe pegs ever used in the South;
and this, we believe, is the only Peg Machine we
have heard of in the South.
