used, renders it unnecessary to say more than to
give them a trial. We have been liberally patron-

attention to the interest and wishes of our pat-
rons to merit a continuance of the same. These
machines can be procured of our local or trav-
eling agents. We will continue to ship gins and
mills to planters on the coast, when too far off to
haul them. All orders punctually attended to,
and our work warranted to perform well in all ca-
