The Little Bonanza Tanning Mill

The Little Bonanza Tanning Mill.
The Little Bonanza Tanning Mill and
Gram Separator, the greatest invention
in the shape of machine of this kind,
of the 18th century, to be manufactured
at Woodstock, Va, by company con-
posed of some Of the best men Of the
county, company that represents tbous-
ands of dollars and who are men that
have been most successful in every bust
ness enterprise they have ever undertaken.
The company has already gone to work
to get the shops in shape for active manu-
featuring. They have ordered a thirty
horse power boiler, and will soon be
ready to give employment to a large num-
Der Of hands at this place, and put on the
market a machine that will absolutely
command the respect and admiration of
every farmer and inhgent person who
examines 1t and its work, and the COM
rany will have no competition to contend
with, as the machine retails at the low
price of S2j, which is from five to ten
dollars cheaper than any other manufac-
tured any where in the country. Then
the machine dOes the work for which il
was intended. 1t will grade and clean
wheat so that the farmer by sowing the
large and well matured grains can raise
five bushels more to the acre and in this
way alone by the use of this machine
save its cost in one years crop. And it is
the same down the list of cereals. oats
barley, buckwheat, peas beans, clover,
timothy, redtOp, rice and in fact any seed
that grows ont of the ground it will
absolutely separate and clean perfectly.
The machine weighs S0lbs., runs lighter
than sowing machine, and has seven
and half feet more screen capacity than
any other made.
You can clean wheat at the rate of 40
bushels per hour, and all kinds of grass
seed at the rate of % to 80 bushels per
hour. The seed is all cleaned and sep
arated without the use of blast of air.
Everybody should see it, and they
would then be perfectly convinced of its
wonderful merits. The States Of Virginia
North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia
and Delaware have been sold in This
place, but there is still other good terri
tory left, and that 1t is a good and safe
investment goes without question. The
gentlemen who are selling territory hayt
the reputation of dealing squarely with
everyone given satisfactory reference.
They are taking great deal of interest
in the success of the marufactury here
and anticipate large number of sales
of these valuable machines.

Mr.. Noah Cook, and his daughter, Mrs.
J)bn Reedy, had a narrow escape from
what would in all probability have been
a terrible death On Thursday afternoon,
at the railroad crossing at the north end
of town. They were about crossing the
track in a spring wagon, and owing to
the dense growth of corn and trees that
cut off their view were unable to see the
close and rapidly moving South bound
passenger tram. Fortunately Mr.. A. 8
Parker noticed their danger and succee-
ded IN attracting their attention just
10 time. As it was Mrs. Reedy, in her
excitement caught the lines and pulled
the horse back so violently that be
backed the wagon off the road and upset
it throwing both out, but they escaped
with few bruises. 1t was close call.

A Word for the ISabies.

Very few people, even the mothers
themselves, seem to have very correct
ideas of what the baby suffers during
warm weather. The poor little thing
is wrapped up like mummy for fear it
will catch cold, and is put away in
some close corner where scarcely Il
breath of fresh air can creep in. 1t
gets too warm and breaks out with
pricbly heat and cries-as indeed who
wouldn't? When the little sufferer
gets in this condition. get piece of old
linen, wash it in soap-suds, rinse it
thoroughly in clear water, dry it, iron
it out smoothly, take off all the baby's
clothing except tie little shirt and
wrap the baby up in this bit of linen
and lay it away in a cool place, like
the dear little parcel that it is. Do not
let the wind blow on it. but give it
fresh air in some sheltered corner. Ten
to one it will go to sleep and have
long and refreshing nap and wake up
good-natured.-N. y. Ledger.
