A New Labor-saving Machine The Auto
matte Binder.

A machine that will bind grain as
rapidly as it is cut by a reaper has
been for leng time Il desideratum,
and engaged The attention Of The IN
genious and inventive in all parts OF
the country. Vast sums Of money,
as well as time aud skill have hlthef-
TO been Wasted in unava;ilng efforts
to accomplish it. The promlom,
however. seems ut last tc have been
solved. Tt is known 10 many that
for some time pass Mr.. 5. D. Carpen>
ter, OF this city. was engaged IN ma
king such machine, and 1t will be
good news to the people generally
which we are able TO announce, VIZ
that he has succeeded IN producing
machine which promises to accom-
plish an ,hat il desired as an autos
matte bialer. 1t was tried on Sal
urday afternoon ia the presence q
large number Of persons, many OF
them we'll qualihed to Judge and they
pronounce 1t success. 1t may be
safely said that the Automatic Binder
promises To take rank among the
most important inventions OF the age
