perfect success in cutting any other crops
The Gazette says:
Those familiar with Eemp-growing can fully
appreciate the qualities necessary and the great
increase of driving power to the knife lover that
required in a reaper and mower, to cut grain
and grass, in order to force the kpile through
the thick-growjh, tough, hard stalks of hemp.
This is one OF the secrets of the great and rap
dly-iucreasing popularity ofthe Champion Reap
ers anG Mowers for grain and grass harvesting
1t not only has the power TO cut the heaviest
and worst-conditioncd grain and grass without
choking or strain 10 the machine, but has the re-
Serre power to reap hemp successfully.
AT this day no enterpriSing or successful farm
err is disposed nor can afford to buy any but the
very best and latest imp owed agricultural impe-
ments Reaping and moving machines are The
most expensive implements required on the farm:
tits, therefore, important SO large an amount OF
money should be invested oniy in the best ma
chine. The Champion Reaper and Mower is the
only machine now made that has power TO cut
hemp. This fact, coupled with other establish
ed points of excellence, should lead every farm
er to turn a deaf ear to the plausible statements
Of parties interested in other machines until he
has for himself seen and carefully examined the
Champion.
The CHAMPION MACHINE AS A HEup-CUTTER -
As a hemp-cutter, it has proved itself unequalled
By any machine ever offered to the farmers Of
Kentucky. We spoke, in recent issue of the
Gazette, Of what Mr.. Alexander II. Brand did
with the Champion, cutting ifty-five acres in
eight days. and at an expense OF not more than
halt-a-doar per acre-since which time it has
been used by others with even more satisfaction.
Mr.. Elijah Bryan, under very favorable circum-
stances, last week cut three acres and IL fraction
less than h"lf in three hours, indicating that the
machine can cut at least twelve acres per day.
Not more than two hands are req .ired to oper.
ate the machine at its highest cutting capacity,
nor is the labor so severe rs men usually perform
in harvest field. The machine is built of the
best material, carefully selected by the mannfac-
turers, and is fully guaranteed in all its parts to
stand any amount ofcrdinary usage and wear
The machine combines q first-class reaper, now
err an hemp cutter, all in one, and, for the
amount Of work it il capable Of doing, has no RI
val worthy he name that we are aware of. The
best testimony to the value Of the Champion is
Il reference to those who have used it in any Gu,
pacity, and we have conversed with a number
who have cut their entire crop of hemp with it
this season, and they are charmed with its per
Torrance, and the great saving it has wrought
"a These machines may be seen in Bel
Air during Court, or at Aberdeen or Perry

The NoMINATIoN IN BELLOWS FALLS.
We have in this village as staunch and
reliable democrats as any other place. -
We do not think there was half dozen
who would not AT once have given cor.
dial support to Charles Francis Adams
had he been nominated at Cincinnati -
but we are sorry to say they do not take
kindly to Horace Greeley. In fact not
one gives any encouragement to the
Tribune philosopher" and one declar-
ed very decidedly that it was no use to
attempt to peddle off Horace Greeley
upon them as democratic candidate"
Most of the republicans are very de-
cided in their hostility to Mr.. Greeley
present position of opposition to the par
ty which has done so much for the coun-
try during the past ten years. A few,
from long regard for the man, express
respect for him still, but at present have
no idea OF throwing away their votes on
him next fall. The most decided ex-
preston given by any republican in this
village, that we have heard of, was by
the only one so far as we know who felt
any sympathy with the Cincinnati move
ment, and who declared on hearing of
the nomination, that the country was GO
ing to a very hot place.

but he won't have the team to pull it
