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. B. F. REYNOLDS. marSOtritf. Kingston, Oa.

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.

Wealth or Oeoeoia. — Wo le 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,.
