Smith. Wiley and Henry his /35QS, have moved to Randolph Ala. The Cotton Exhibition. Speaking of the benefits to urise to the southern farmer from tbe great exhibition of ootton fabrios and tbe instruments and machinery used in its onlture and manufac ture, whioh it is proposed to hold in Atlan ta next winter, Mr. Atkinson, the prime mover in the enterprise, in an interview with a reporter of the New York Herald says: It will bring to tbe knowledge of ootton planters the numerous inventions intended to compass this end, and they will astonish us all in their number and eflioaoy. The planter oan sea them in actual operation, bear their merits discussed and their possi bilities explained. That the ootton planter feels the need of such inventions and will readily invest in them is plain from the vi vid interest that has been mamtested throughout the south by the new Clement attachment. But let me illustrate what tbe inteligent farmer might learn at this exposition and how he might enrich him self by the knowledge. He will first se.oot the best from tbe number new tools for cultivating bis ootton and will then study the method of constructing tbe exhibition building and of proteoting it from fire, so that be may adapt it to the construction of the hoose m whioh he will store bis cotton, gins, eto. He will then seleot tbe best gin that is exhibited, which may be onr needle pointed gin or tUe new roller gin of Great Britian. For this gin he will seleot the best automatic feeder on exhibition, sad will seleot for the other side of his gin tbe best revolving apron on which the freshly ginned cotton can be carried to a beater — also selected fiom the best exhibition —that will clean out the dust, tbe grit and imma ture seed that has passed sbrough the gin. Then, realizing that this cleaned lint must not be rolied on the dirty floor, he will buy a small press—ptxhaps tbe Hedrick hay press—and pass the lint to it from the cleaner, where it is baled immertiatly. With cotton handled thus he would command a premium aud could sell it direct to the fao-- tories on bis reputation, or consumers would send agents to him with Mto cab to buy bis crop, as agent snow scour the webt buy ing the best wool clips. There is a New England mill tßat is going to establish a branch of its factory in tbe south, simply that it may rely on getting ootton that has been property banded for its own use by ginning and baling it itself. ‘To mother wing of the building the in telligent farmer will fiud machin s for bul ling the seed. He will aele-t the best of tbeße, and as soon as tbeateds re separa ted from the lint he will bull them, feeding the hulls to his stock. These hulls hold one-third of the mineral element drawn from the soil and arv worth as much ton for ton, as hay for stock food. Tbe kernels he will send to the nearest oil mill, telling tbe oil and using the ground meal to feed the sheep folded on cotton ground, thus restor ing to the soil tbe other two-thirds of tbe mineral element taken from it He will al so seleot the best of trash cleaners wiih whioh to treat tbe storm cottoo, amt into whioh he can throw the bolls from whmh all the cotton available has been picked. This cotton, usually wasted, will be saved to him All this work he oan do with his improved machinery, with one-third the present labor and expense, and with enormously better results. This is the lesson we hope the ex position will teach, If the farmers attend it and investigate and act, we shall see cot ton farms managed with the same care and aystem that the farms of New York axd Pessylvania are now managed'” Excellent Weyrk. We love to meet with a mun who tsk<!B a pride in doing well whatever he attempts. Such men always do honor to their profes sion. Such a man is Alpha A. Williams, of the Colnmbns Art Gallery. Lovmg his work as he does, it is not surprising that he does such excellent work. His gallery is well filled .with magnificent specimens of the divine art and be has so much experi ence end good taste that he never fails to please the most fastidions. Bat one meets with so many familiar faees from old Harris in bis gallery, that it seems like a needless task to commend him to our people. These faces in his collection of specimens all tea tify of their extended knowldge of his mer its. But he desires to cultivate the acquain tance and take the pictures of those who have not tried him and to these we com mend hist. Walk up arul Settle.
