T HE MERITS OF THIS
Plow over others, for
the cnltivationof both Cot-
ton and Corn are many, but I shall mention
only its leading merits: With four wings,
two small and two large, it can be converted
into Seven different Plows, ail of which are
very necessary for tho cultivation of dif
ferent crops. And another very important
featuro is durability. A Plow completed
will last a man from two to fivo years, accord
ing to tho soil he cultivates, and will only
cost about Three Dollars to put it up. An
Agency will soon be established in Rome,
and then planters will be invited to call and
see for themselves. Address.

J. B. MURPHY
RESIDENT DENTIST,
R ESPECTFULLY in forma his friends, and
the public generally, that he continues
the practice of DENTISTS Y in all its branch
es, and has fittod up an ofiice, over the store
of McGuird A Pinson, where.ho is prepared
to execute all operations appertaining to Den
tistry, in the most approved manner.
Ho would also call the particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work, to his su
perior style of tcoth, sot on gold pinto; for
beauty, strength and life-like nppeaeance,
they aro not surpassed. As an impression lias
been made that my prices for dental opera
tions aro higher than tho usual run of Den
tists, I beg leave to say that they are thosame
as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon
and Savannan. For Artificial Work myebar-
ges are as follows:
Entire Sets Upper and Lower from $100 to $25t
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sots, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sots in proportion to tho nbovo. .
As I am well posted in all the late improve
ments of tho day, I feel confident that I can
meet tho wants of all who may need tho ser
vices of a Dentist, and if references are want
ed; as to thoir utility tn answering tho purpo
ses of nature, I can give them In abundance,
from those who have tested my skill, for the
last fourteen years, in this, and adjoining
States.

from the Annual Report of the-Comp
troller General, for the year I860, tha|
the total amount of property returne
on the tax digest for the year amount
to the immense sum of $672,322,777.-
According to the census of 1860 ther
was a fraction over 521,000 free whit
inhabitants; and it -is a reasonable cal
culation that the increase in ten yean
will swell that number to at least 550|
000,. These figures will show the ft
that if the taxable property in :
State was equally divided among I
people, the amount for each free whid
man, woman and Child would be will
in a fraction of 1,223.—Sun.
