Celebrated Threshing Machines, I
EMERY'S ONE AND TWO HORSE POWERS, are j
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to de
serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years of
being the " best Endiess Chain Horse Power in u.-e."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
Th.sa new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced ir.ttr this region. It has no endle's chain straw
carrier, but separates all kiuds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly , without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to lie superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATERS

"To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t. satisfy the public I was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, 1 have resumed business here on my own ac
count,as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate and bawful calling for my support.—
I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my bnsi
ncss to give public satisfaction.
