THE SECOND PREMIUM offered was
Collins Cast Cast-steel Plow. In adding
up the lists we found Messrs. A. w. Rose
and Z. S. Doyle, Of this county, had
raised for us Two HUNDRED AND ONE
subscribers. Finding that before the mid
die of the month they would raise their
club TO Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY, and
desiring to recognize their services more
literally than our published premiums
prescribed, we made arrangements with
Messrs. Stacy & Angel, the enterprising
agents of the WEED Sewing Machine, to
give Messrs. Rose & Doyle one of their
splendid machines, worth SIXTY-FIvE
DOLLARS.
The Weed machine has but lately been
introduced Into East Tennessee, but is
daily winning friends. 1t has its peculiar
features, and for certain kind of work is
unrivalled.
