This is a machine employed in the con verting of raw cotton into yarns. It is attracting attention from the farmers and has been in many plaoes adopted by them. Where it has been used the results are satis factory and it is only a question of time when it will be operated in every oommuni ty. It or some-like.machinery is a necessity with us. Tbs production of ootton alone is attended with too much cost for any margin of profits at the present prices and it is only by enbanoeing its valoe with less additional cost that the best results oan be attained. The farmer now obtains npon an overage fifty dollars per bele for his ootton. By the work of this machine it is olaimed he oan be made to realize one hundred dollars per bale. The expenses of running are comparatively small from the fact that only one skilled maobineist is necessary while the others may consist of women and children who are incompetent to labor in the field.

She was born in E bert ooonty 5h of January 1806- She was one of the early settlers of Hamilton and was buried there by the side of tbe remains of her deceased husband, Willis Seats. She was a consist ent member of the Baptist cbnreh, and an industrious kind neighbor. Struggling hard to ednente her .children, and beaut fy end adorn her home, devoting much time to the cultivation of flowers and shrubbery. Many of her old friend* yet live in Hamilton snd extend their sympatic* to her bereaved nehildren. Her e>n Thom-s J. Be*ts attend ed her remains to Hamilton, where m*ny of the old cjtizins s**isted in hr burial s*rt ce wnioh conducted by R -V. 8. T. Fuller. A Bad Habit. There is an evil habit grown up among us which we believe when mentioned, will bo amended. We refer to the habit of tardiness. At ohotoh, st Sabbath school, at choir practice, parties and social gather ings, there is a tendency to be late. It is not indioativs of a want of respect, but is simply a habit of putting off for fear per haps, of getting there too early and then being bored by having to await the arrival of others. If we will consider however, the vexation, trouble, and discouragement, that such a course is sure to produue, we would take care to be more prompt. For example, after tbc preacher has kelected his text, and when be would bend bis whole mind npon the subject and when it is essential to a proper appreciation of the sermon that the congregation should give espeoial bearing, for the doors to be thrown opened and two or three new-oomers to stalk up the aisles, is exceedingly annoying. It may be that some practioe this with a view of being fashionable, and so it may be, but is not of the kind that distinguish the most thorough-bred end oultored. True etiq ette rather consists in conforming to the rules of any place we may attend. Of being as little oonspiouous as possible, and by pLying the role of agreeable, in being prompt, attentive aDd gentle. This may apply to the social gatherings as well as church, for it ia in bad taste to be late any where. Vick’s Floral Guide. Of the many Guides and seed and Plant Catalogues sent out by our Seedsmen and Nurserymen, and that are doing so much to inform tbe people and beautify and en rich our oountry, none are so beautiful none so instructive ns Vick’s Floral Guide. I*B paper is tbe cbeioest, its illustrations band some, and given by tbe hundred, while its Colored Plate is a gem. This work, al though oosting but 10 cents, is handsome enough for a Gift Book, or a place on tbe parlor table. Published by Jamea Vick, Rochester, N. Y- The Election Tie. Just as we were congratulating ourselves that the electfin- wcre-all over, we were snrpri-ed by the aiTnonncement that the Governor hadorder.d an election to he held in tbi* county for Tax Receiver, tbe vote for Messrs Bullock and Pritchard being de clared a tie. Tbe managers in consolida ting the vote at this place, made a miscount in the vote potting down tbe vote of Mnj. Bmloefc a: 61 instead of 151. Tbe mis tuke led to a re-count st Atlanta where two other mistakes were discovered, both in fa vor of M-j. Bnllock. At Wbitesville Mr Pritchard received three votes for Collector which were coonted for him as Receiver. This left M#j. Bnllock one vote behind and this was found on tbe tally sheet of a pre oinet where tbe report was circulated that be had oome down, and tbe vote was not counted by tbe managers is tbsir general summary. Under these facta the Govern or has ordered another eleotion, and from the interst manifested by friends of the candidates we shall have a lively race. Judge Williams baa ordered the election for the 15th of February. Hamilton Hotel Arrivals.
