Messrs. Simon Mcclure and JAS. A.
Comley last week purchased from
Garrett Conn one of those famous
traction engines and new thresher.
The machines will be here in a few
days aud ready for work. AS soon
as the grain crops are thfcshcd
Messrs. Mcclure h Comley will use
the engine for running saw mills or
anything else to which steam power
can be attached. Threslling By
steam is certainly an improvement
on the, old horse killing machines,
aud 1t is said to be cheaper. It Will
eventually be used entirely. We adj

kind Of machinery to give these gen
tlemen~ a. call. We. will guarantee
liberal terms from them and pposnpt.

A compromise will eventually be
made as each owns n portion Of the
territory, in dispute. Some further
Information will bes found in Jour
