A CAR 10.

In the last issue of the indicator | notice a
piece, eminating from Mr.. James Pagan. had
hoped that never would have to either speak to,
or answer any thing from him, nor would l now
If could place myself in proper position before
the numero us readers Of the indicator. I Will
tei 1t few facts however, and leave the people to
Judge whether his article is not entirely devoid of
that Religious Commodity called ''truth". He
says that the Agent of the Wheeler s. Wilson
heard that he (Fagan) had Machine at Mrs
Teabo's and carried his there'-False Mrs.
Teabo's son asked me to take the Machine there
and let her see it, as he wanted her to have the
Machine that she liked best, which l can prove
by Mr.. Reub en- L. Phillips. l did take it there
and found the Howe. Mrs. T-said that she
liked it very well. went back in few days
and give her instruction She handed me a piece
OF work and told me that Mr.. Pagan left that and
said if would sew through it without breaking
the thread or needle that he would give her $40.
did sew through it with No needle and so
cotton. Isewed through it again, and, after
had finished, broke the needle by my own care
ieSsness, in jerking the goods out in a hurry. 1
will bet any one $500 that can sew through the
same goods one hour and never break the needle,
He says left samples of sewing on piece of
bias dress goods. False again. For sewed on
nothing but white goods. He says that sewing
on the Wheeler l. Wilson is always drawn and
puckered False again, and he would not have
saio SO II ne knew anything about Machines that
Lock-Stitch upon the same principle So if one
draws all Will draw. But none of them will draw
II the tension spropery arranged. He SAYS 'sthat
there are four Tailoring Establishments in Staup-
ton and three of them have the W. & W. and two
OF them want to trade for the Howe or some other
good Machine" False again. Read the certi6-
Gates from the Tailors themselves:
MK. W. N. HAWKINS:
have used the Wheeler l. Wilson Sewing
Machine for years and am perfectly satisfied with
1T and, since you had it repaired, it is all can
expect. 90 not want to trade for the Howe.
august ., 1870. J. UREAR, Tailor.
Now for the man that said that he would trade
his machine for a chicken or any thing else. He
DID say he wanted to trade one but why? Be-
cause he has TWO and does not need both of them
But hear what the Tailor says, and Judge Of the
truth of Mr.. Fagans statement.
Mr.. W. N HAWKINS
nave used the Wheeler 4 Wilson for years
ana consider 1t the best family sewing machine
male, from the fact that it sews with more ease
and les noise, and will do greater variety Of
work than sny other, with less machinery
have two Whe.nl Il Wilson Sewing Machines,
one Of which you ,,sn trade for any thing that
will realize me fifty dsl.'ars. Il will say here,
that if Pagan has fifty dollar chicken, he can
get that w. & W. 1 am oni,sy half of my time
IN my SHOP, or would not sell or trade it under
any considerations. | did not borrow the Howe
10 hnish your clothes, but because | broke the
spindle OF mine. When you found me with the
Howe, you kindly loaned me one of yours till
you had mine fixed.
august 6, 1870. P. B. GRAVES Tailor.
The other tailor who has the Wheeler l. Will
son, Mr.. Henry Bare, have been unable to see,
nut, a few weeks ago, he kindly allowed ME to
use MS name as perfectly satisfied with his ma
CHIME. In conclusion l will say that Mr.. Pagan
mas brought this publication upon himself Nor
nave SAID one half what think. His own &C
uoh IN regard to some other transactions, has
caused MIN to hate me and SANDER the W. 4 w .
d. MS leisure as his only defence against his own
act But to cat this thing short, my mildest ex-
preston for his publication is that it is all false.

Will now mention a few persons who have
the Wheeler Wilson, all of whom are doublv
satisfied: "ou''!
