 that the firm of R. S. Thompson &
 Son has. We had the pleasure o
 a survey of their place few days
 since and can verify the above
 assertion in every sense.
 To delineate the many lines car
 rled by this firm would be indeed an
 almost endless task; to generalize
 would be quite an undertaking in
 itself. The show cases, shelves and
 floors are fairely overfiowing with
 goods, while their ware houses are
 as full of heavy and bulky goods as
 can be stored away.
 We desire to call especial attention
 to their line of blows, reapers and mowers. The great ATLANTA blow and the BUCKEYE mower.
 he ATLANTA blow seems to be ex- actly adapted to this soil, both the steel and the east. For lowlands
 with loam and clay, and buckshot or black land, the steel Atlanta is unsurpassed, cutting a clean furro " l, easily managed and light of draft. The cast blows of the Atlanta make are especially adapted to the up- lands, and sandy soil.
 It is a very great convenience to the planters, that many blows of different manufacturers have inter ehangable parts. For instance: the mould board, land side, and points of the Atlanta blows are adapted and suitable for a number of var e. ties of blows; take the Nikle blow, the New York, the Avery, the Deere; if you should have any of these blows in a dilapidated condition, by spending a few cents for Atlanta re- pairs the blow may be made as good as new: in like manner if you have an ATLANTA blow and should want a point, a mould board or laad side you can use the Kentucky or Avery repairs. This obviates the danger of getting blow for which repairs are hard to be obtained. 4 farmer will readily appreciate this point, for he knows the parts will wear out. and he feels satisfed when he knows where he can get re- pairs.
 The variety of the ATLANTA blows is extensive, both heavy and light. The No. and the No 1-2cast blows, while in steel the Pony A. 0. and B. o. also New Grouhnd and Cotton Boal; for harrows the Little Joe and Farmers Pet are hard to he ex- celled.
 The BUCKEYE mower needs no in- troduction. 1t is well known all over this land of ours, and all climes where grain is raised. To see the Buckeye machinery in it's native excellence, one should go to the North where grain is the staple Still with our recent ideas of diversi- fying the crops, with oats, rye and the grasses, quite a number of mowers are used in this section and nomachine surpases the excellence of the BUCKEYE. 1t is beyond a doubt the handsomest grass cutter ever put into the field The first, foremost and best. Highest speed with least friction, Highest running, most durable, efficient, The sale of repairs for machines of this class is a great in- dicator of a machines merits. The repair bill on the BUCKEYE mower is than any of its competitors. | The repairs are always so easily Messrs. R. $. Thompson X Son guarantee against any delay oc- casioned by not being able to get repairs in case of bEeakage in these this is a great item in har- vest time, a delay in reaping grain or grass some times means great loss.
 1t would truly he worth ones while to visit this mammoth estab- lishment and see some of the wonder ful devises in the hard ware line.
