NOTICE TO FARMERS,

A farmer who gave
an order for a Binder,
informed us that the
reason why he did not
order a Champion, al
though he preferred
the Oh a m pi o n and
knew it to be the best,
was that he was per-
S u a d e d by the one
who took the order
that we wouldn't keep
repairs, and that the
Champion would not
be sold here nextyear,
&c. This kind Of talk
is calculated to injure
the sale the Cham
pion and made use OF
to help sell their
own machine. T hi S
is not fair competi-
ton and is untrue in
every particular. We
desire to say ri g h t
here that we 1cjU keeE
all tn e necessary re
pairs for the Cham
pion machines. That
if any one who buys a
machine from us and
fails to get repairs, II
wanted, during h a r.
S t or any O tn Q I
time, we will pay fol-
such lost time. We
h ave gone into this
business to stay. So
help us.

The entertainment for the benefit
of the Public School Library, at the
Opera House Friday evening was
well patronizcd. The amount real
lied was something over $40. The
first part of the entertainment con-
sisted of vocal music and Rotations
and one of the most pleasing features
was recitation by Miss May lays,
who received instruction in elocution
from the celebrated Murdoch. Her
rendition of the piece selected was
very fine and the large audience lis
tened with appreciative pleasure and
wrapt attention to her recitation
throughout. She was loudly ap-
plauded and responded TO the encore
later in the evening and rccited a Sc
lection by special request. Mrs.
Jarlcy's wax figures were humorous
representations of well-known char
acters Of history and fiction and Miss
Westfall did herself much credit in
the character Of Mrs. farley, the eX-
hibitor The characters were repre-
scented by the young people who vol
untcercd to take part in the perform
ance, and this was decidedly the most
novel and entertaining part of the en-
terlainment. BY special request the
concert was repeated on Saturday
night and the attendance was modcr-
ately good, though not large.

forwards confessed that the man

In speaking Of the GAINESVILLE and
Princeton railroad, the Clarksville
Chronicle of Friday, says:
"The bridge over Red river is now
being pushed with all possible ener-
gy, in fact the superstructure is now
going up and will soon be completed
over the troublesome little stream
As soon as completed the track will
be laid at the rate of about half O
mile per day. The road is graded
and cross-ties prepared for about ter
or twelve miles. The grade beyond
the point already prepared, will bC
so light that the track-layers car
never reach the graders, so the track
will go forward without any della,
after the bridge shall have been com
pletcd. We will keep our reader
advised ofthe progress of the worl
from time to time.'
