do it more harm than good. If you

The Best Moving Machine.

The Champion Moving Machine, for sale at
the Hardware Store of Richmond and HUM, is
the standard machine of America. 1t was
awarded more first premiums during the year
1872 than all other machines combined, and was
always successful where all other machines
failed. The working parts of this machine are
so constructed that they can be taken apart and
put together, in the field with common wrench.
In its 60 ,struction all complication was dispens-
ed with by the inventor and the machine re-
du,cl to the least possible number of parts, and
those of the simplest character. Thousands of
farmers declare that it is superior to all other
mlchnes.
