TINE BINDER,

The late wheat harvest demonstrated how
indispensable the binder has become in farm
equipment. But for that implement, many
acres would have been lost because OF rapid
ripening,-more noticeable this harvest than
ever beforehand this is the testimony of our
oldest and most experienced farmers. In this
section, there were alternate days of rain and
hot sun during the cutting season, and gen.
orally, the straw not cut till after forty.eight
hours of such weather. became brittle, and lost
its adhesive qualities, and in that condition
ordinary binding as when cut with cradle
was subjected to much difficulty and loss OF
grain.
The merits of the binder form the subject OF
interesting discussion between farmers, and
very much so as it was applied in the late har-
vest. In our section. the Champion Binder is
a favorite, and those who have 1t are, as they
are with the champion mower, which preced.
ed it, thoroughly pleased with Its work, and
scarcely realize the loss and worry from which
they have been relieved SIS they passed through
the harvest season equipped with its elegant
capacity for nice, smooth rapid work.
Ours is a superior grain and grass-country
and with our advantages for the location of a
manufacturing plant here of the Champion
machinery or some equal to it has been an ar
dent ueslfe put perhaps not 10 De grained
The popularity of the Champion harvesting
machinery may be well estimated in the
agency service which it employs in our section
Mr.. Chas. P. Lambert is the travelling agent
over wide territory. including our Valley, and
Lynn Co., of this city, the local agents.
No sooner is the trade of one season over than
preparations for another commences, and that
is just what these enterprising gentlemen are
engaged at-fulI preparation for exnandinp fh q
sales of the matchless Champion Binder.

Letter from Nelson County.

ALTON, VA. July Z, 'SS.
Editor Spectator:-To- day our county (Nelson)
appoints delegates to the Stanton Conven-
ton, which will nominate our congressman
for the 10th District. Harry" Tucker has a
good many friends in this county--though we
suppose the delegates will cast a compliment
airy vote to DR.. Fitzpatrick and then 60 for the.
strongest candidate. and from what we see and
know. your Harry" is the man.
1t seems to be the sentiment of the people. to
not only have their candidate to stand upon
the Democratic Platform and principles, but
to roll up their sleeves take off their hats, and
unite their cravats, and:go to work with will
for abolishing all war taxes-and for Tariff Re-
form and Tax Reduction. 1t is gratifying to
see that the farmers and laboring men of the
entire country, are waking up to their lust in.
terests at last, and that they are beginning to
see. to certain degree. how they are being
imposed on by so-called protection. 1t seems
strange that they have not done so years ago
That protection benefits any one but a few
monopolists aud pets, is the heighth of folly,
It ia the farmer more than any one else who ia
compelled by high tariff to pay tribute to
monopoly. For everything he buys for use on
his farm, in his house. and clothing for his
family, In fact nearly everything that he has
to purchase; and what compensation does he
get in return? None. The markets of the
world are closed against him when he has to
buy, but wide open in competition with him
when he offers his wheat. corn, oats, hay,
tobacco. horses, cattle. sheep and everything
else he has for sale. Farmers, we say, let your
cry be,-Tarif Reform, Tax Reduction, down
with all Trusts and Combinations and cast
your ballot for Cleveland and Thurman. No

Dear Sir-Exaggereted reports OF the Fever
epidemic said to be raging In our town have
gone out far and near. From what hear the
said reports are still prevalent in Stanton
VIII you please state the following facts over
my signature:
After careful inquiry of the physicians, /
ind that not over so cases of fever OF any sort
have occurred this summer in all their prac-
tice. OF these only about u or is have been
typhoid fereT-the rest bilious fever only, last
Ing about ten days before recovery in each
case.
There have been up to July 10th, (the time 1
tnvestigated) only four deaths from fever-two
white and two colored-in town.
From inquiry among the undertakers, find
that the death-rate has certainly not been
oboue the average this summer.
The physicians tell me that ali their cases OF
fever are now doing well, and I know of but
few serious cases in the town at this ume-and
all of them are likely to recover. But two cases
have occurred In my church of over 200 MEM
bers, neither OF which were fatal.
