Coweta County, March 18th, 1808. We, the undersigned, havo to-day witnessed till the farm of Joseph Amis, Esq., of this county, the trial of a Cotton Seed Planter, Darlington's Patent, which we have no liesi- tnney iu recommending as the very best thing of the kind that wo have seen. The ground on which it was tried was very rough, yet it performed the work iu as perfect a manner as could be. desired. It opens the fu* row, drops the seed and covers, all in the same operation ; andean he adjusted in a few seconds of time so as to sow any desired quantity of guano, cotton seed, peas or wheat per acre. Where as much as thirty or forty acres are to be planted in cotton, the amount of seed saved by this dropper would no doubt pay the cost of the machine. We, therefore, take great pleasure in recom mending it as a money, as well as labor-saving machine. I?/"Mr. Amis lias the right for this county. O. J. HARRIS, March 21-St. J. It. TOLBERT.
