sillon, Ohio, and Is now prepared to accummo-
date the farmers of Mill Creek, Christiana,
New Castle, Red Lion and Pencader Hundreds,
who may wish tbreshing done by steam power
at short notice. Mr.. NJ. had tue bad luck TO
have his Westernhouse machine burnt up in
the incendiary fire which destroyed the barn Of
, Lewis Weldin, in New Castle Hundred, last
season, and we ,uust say that he deserves the
encouragement the farmers of our county
! for his industry and perseverance. The Rus
sell machine is very superior one, and we
think that it will give full salts faction TO all
who may use ii, One Of Mi. Nc Whorter's bag

W very best of his ability. If he ever blundere
the fault was of the head, not Of the heart, an
