It has some improvements that are secured by
letters patent, which excludes all others from
using the same except by paying license to TINS
draught, simple and durable. Crowds Of farm

highly Of its merits and superiority to other ma

not surpassed by any. Wheeler, Melick q Cos
Thresher and Cleaner was patented in 1901, ana
was the first successful two-horse thresher Oh ies
kind ever invented. 1t was popular from the
first, and its popularity has been increasing eacn

by any other. 1t can be run with four OF SIX

should be seen while it is in daily operation at

people of the South to the fact that this machine

Southern trade, and it is for our interest TO pro-
tect home manufacturers by extending liberal
/ patronage. To show their popularity we would

/ We would advise farmers to call at the stand

| LAST NIGHT
the attendance was full, mostly comprised OF
| Nashville citizens, though there were many from
| distance present. The evenings enjoyment
| was of most agreeable character, due NJ part
to the pleasant temperature Of the weather.
| which was cool and pleasant.
| DESIRABLE IMPROVEMENT,
| and one that will be duly appreciated, is to be
made tomorrow, by placing forty settees in vari-
GUS parts of the building These seats are intend
ed for the use of the ladies, and it is hoped gen.
tlemen viii not avail themselves of this cOnven-
! fence. We have been requested to call the at
tention of visitors TO
THE VINE STREET BALCONY,
| which affords pleasant promenade. Romantic
maidens and sentimental youths will not forget
this. Widows, bachelors and old maids are also
permitted to enjoy the privileges of this balcony
though no provision has as yet been made FOL
Hopeful widowers.
THE LAST CHANCE
This week is the last chance our people will
have to visit the Exposition Within ten days the
the work of removing the articles from the EX-

nifcence and despoiled of every beauteOus charm

afforded instruction and information to over one
hundred thousand persons. Yet the i'm
posing display IS viewed every day
and witnessed each night for one month,
will long be rememberedb 5 the Ok sAd the yognl

the interesting features and varied attractions o.
this grand Industrial Exposition.
