The "0ld Hickory" is manufactured at
Louisville, Kentucky, by the Kentucky Wagon
Manufacturing Company.
The quality Of the sold Hickory" is main
tanned at any cost.
The cold Hickory is built for strength,
durability, lightness, and is of graceful APP
pearance.
The "0ld Hickory is as perfect as it is
possible for wagon TO be built.
The superiority of the "Oid Hickory" over
other wagons is due
First-To the adoption of that form or mod
ell that comprises the largest amount Of strength
with the least superfluous weight.
Seeond-To the adoption OF that shape,
size, and adjustment of skeins, wheels and
gear, and that arrangement of tongue, evener
and singletrees that gives the least friction
and easiest draft
Third-To the great advantages the manu-
facturers of the "0ld Hickory have over
other wagon makers in location, situated as
they are in the centre of the finest timber re-
gion in the world. The company makes Sc
lections from the white oak and black hickory
Of Kentucky, which are justly celebrated.
Fourth--To the great advantage of having
plenty OF the best timber to work on, only
thoroughly ar-seasoned timber being used -
No irresponsible convict or penitentiary labor
is employed, but intelligent, skilled mechanics
in every department. The 'Old Hickory" is
made only of one quality and that strictly A
No. |. We have them for sale on both Thin
BILE Skein and Iron Axle running gear with
or without bodies, for ], 2, a and 6 horses

Famous Power-Lift Premi-
UNI Gilpin Sulky
BREAKING PLOW.

We can appeal to every farmer who owns
GILPIN and is familiar with other Sulky
Plows for the truth of the following claims to
superiority:
|. The pillow itselfis Of superior turning and
securing qualities, and most durable
2. Extra shares are in duplicate, and can
be fitted years hence-a great advantage over
others.
3. Its power-lift enables youth and old age
and crippled persons to pillow as well as the
best.
a. 1t requires no expert 10 start or run it,
saving much expense to dealer and annoy
ance to farmer
B. The one lever varies the depth, levels the
pillow al all depths, and raises it out of the
ground, while others cannot be leveled by the
use OF two or more levers.
6. The winging device is the simplest aud
most effective, holding the plow in any de-
sired position
I. The wheels are provided with removal
Bile chilled boxes running on wrought spin
dies, insuring durability.
8. Our sulky rolling cutters are unequaled
having chilled hubs and malleable bearings
the most durable, strongest and steadest.
8. The experience Of farmers and various
dynamometer tests have proved the Gilpin
Sulky to be the lightest draft of any.
TO- While other sulkies having many spices,
loose joints, and multiplicity of levers and
changes, soon become worn and rickety, the
Gilpin, compact and strong, will remain firm
for years, and time and use have little or no
effect upon it.
IL. THERE'S not another sulky in the market
that is so highly priced by manufacturer deal
err and farmer, aud although other sulkies are
offered at less price, varying according to
quality, none are found so cheap as the Gilpin
when subjected TO the true test of satisfaction
in usng-lightness of draft, freedom from
breakage and durability.
L. IL has the strongest testimonials from
as, 900 farmers having them in use from one
TO six years. a sale more than twice that OF
any other, and proof that ii is held in far high
er esteem than any other sulky pillow.
LIGHT DRAFT.-We fully warrant and
stand ready to prove, with dy namometer to
test same, that our Gilpin Sulky Plow will
carry man and draw lighter than any riding
or walking pillow cutting and turning an equal
amount OF ground.

WARRRNTON, VA, February To- $780,
To The Editor of the Dispatch:
II our very efficient District Attorney,
captain Wise, Is so anxious TO conyiel
some one Of fraud at the last election, i
would advise him TO present true DIS
against our taX-collector, Benjamin George,
our county-court Judge, w. b. q. Shu-
mate, our superintendent Of public schools
William T.. Strother, and our postmaster,
William A. PattIe, and produce their own
sworn testimony Just given in the Massey
wise contest, TO irswre their conviction OF
having received from George an almost in
definite number of blank taX-recelpts.
which each OF these four last distributed
in turn TO some fifteen other worthy subs
I'm those sections OF the county where they
would do this jealous prosecuting attor-
ney most good.
As our worthy Judge had to hang his
head and refuse to answer, after acknoW-
Lodging that he knew OF the statute that
made II an offence for an officer to issue
such tax-receipts, why he had not caDed
the grand iury's attention to the violiitloh
of this law by himself and George. IL Is
possible that this most efficient prosecutor
will be n little holder. and rip out some OF
his favorite Oatls, ana hasten 10 Drlhe W
punishment these seli-acknowledged crimi-
mails.
We have started the ball. We have I'M
earthed the fraud here, and shown beyond
dispute that the action OF our collector
..was conceived in fraud and brought forth
in corruption
And then further, after showing that
these tax.receipts were issued in blank
without exception, and that not one red
cent was paid for them until after the elec-
ton. we get these very same parties to
acknowledge that they do not believe that
one single voter who voted on these tax
receipts voted for Massey.
We have supplemented this by the EVIL
dence of our own challengers from each
precinct, who give the voters in name who
voted on these receipts, and testify that
they know that these parties voted for WISE.
We hope that you good people in Rich
mond will do far better than even we have
done. MIR. Massey has been represented
here by our young friend Eppa Hdnton,
son of the General. and he has shown very
decided ability in the conduct OF the eN'
