NONRESIDENT NOTICE.
TO THE
OF MAURY COUNTY.

Since witnessing such an exodus of labor
from our State, it becomes US to bestir our
selves in getting the best and most Improved
implement of husbandry. ''Carnes'' Clipper
Harrow and Clod crushers comes in the Mich
of time. 1t is conceded by some of the best
farmers OfWiliiamson and Maury Counties
that it is a success as a labor saving imple-
ment. For putting in small grain after the
ground is broke it has no equal, trash not
choke it but wet dirt. For preparing meadows
and lawns it Is unsurpassed. Bleak the ground
then this harrow will leave it in better con-
ditinn than three times ploughing the same
and 1t is evident to every farmer that he
caa't make much of crop with half Of his
pulyeriZed with this harrow whether moist
or dry. Hence the necessity of using it in the
spring. | have purchased the right of Maury
county of A. c. Carnes and wish to sell farm
rights, district rights, and Harrow. For partic
lars address me at Spring Hill.
