DUDLEY’S PATENT

DIAGONAL

ROAD SCRAPER

THE BEST. THE CHEAPEST.

Weighs but 50 lbs., has Steel Cutter Plate, can be worked square or at any desired angle, and is rapidly superseding all other Scrapers where it is known.

Read the following:

One says: “It will do more work than two of the common kind.”

Another: “It is worth more than all the old kind that can be made.”

“I would not take 25 dollars for mine, if I could not get another.”

“With a yoke of oxen and boy to drive, I can scrape and finish up in five hours as much road as I can with any scraper known to me in ten hours, beside doing it better and easier both for myself and team.”——J. DAVIS, Hartford.

“For working roads it will soon supersede the old scoop. I consider it one of the best simple inventions of the age.”——G. P. BELDEN, Dover Plains.

“Leaves a road in better shape, and is easier for man and team, than any scraper I ever saw.”——J. S. KINNEY, Washington.

YESTERDAY’S WORK.

We point to the record of results of our work among the Freedmen during the last fifteen years, as indicating a degree of progress and an amount of fruitage rarely equaled in the same length of time. We base our claims for generous gifts, now and in the years to come, upon this showing, confident that this is the best argument we can make. Is it too much to claim to have been faithful over a few things, or to ask that we be trusted with what may be needful for the many which are at hand?

TO-DAY’S NEED.

The pressing need of to-day may be seen from the following _appeal_, which has appeared in some of the religious papers:

“The end of the school year of the American Missionary Association is near at hand. Its Teachers and Missionaries must soon return North, and will need the balance of their small salaries to enable them to do so. This necessary demand makes a special drain upon our treasury, and we, therefore, earnestly appeal to our friends to enable us to meet it without debt. We hope that churches whose collections occur now will make them as large as possible and remit promptly; and we ask our friends, in whose heart is a warm love for the cause, to come to our relief with special contributions for this emergency. In behalf of the Executive Committee,
