“Put Off Not r«>R To-m rriy What
You Can do To day " —A new year hasjust
been ushered in and finds us still struggling
»o recuperate our shattered fortunes, and
thus securing a protection, against want,
for those who are near and dear to us ; with
economy, energy and long life, some will
he enabled to accomplish this, but how few,
were our mortal career terminated before
the begining of another year, would find
ourselves in that happy condition, unless
we have been prudent enough to have
invested a small portion of our annual
earnings in a “Life Policy." Those who
have done so will not find a more convenient
season than the present. We, the under
signed. are representing the old American
Life Insurance Company, of Philadelphia,
one of the strongest and most reasonable in
the United States, and one that invests in
our State all the money taken here. The
following is a list of parties who have
availed themselves of the opportunity to get
in this good old company. Messrs. T. J.
Nelson, A. J. Williams and lady, W. S.
Middlebrooks and lady, S. C. Mauk and
lady, J. L Brandon and lady and Mrs. J.
P. Lyons. We have been in this section
but a short time and expect to get up a
large patronage. W. J. Mallard,

Family Papers for 1872 —The time has
come when every man should be on the
lockout to secure good family papers for
1872, and while his first duty is his home
paper for general news, his second is to
some journal of practical value to the whole
household, and an especial aid in the out
door employments. Asa journal for the
latter, we most earnestly commend the
Ohio Farmer, at Cleveland,Ohio.
It is a handsome, wide-awake weekly, a
thoroughgoing farm and fireside paper, de
voted to everything pertaining to agricul
ture, horticulture, stock growing, mechanic*
h 1 arts and domestic economy. It contains
twenty large quarc pages weekly, is nicely
printed, illustrated, and cut, covered and
stitched. It is always spiced with witticism
and loaded with good things in the way of
children’s miscellany, foreign travels,
stories, sketches, choice poetry, etc. We
advise our friends, who have not «een this
staunch old j urnal, to send for a copy,
which the puMi-her is always willing to
send f aid see for yourselves wbat it i*.
The most, expedient way, however, is to
send two doll irs, addressed to Ohio Farmer,
Cleveland, Ohio, and have it visit you
weekly—no one will regret the investment.

r rMTE undernlirnerl, havin<r rppnfripd thp rnnnufaetnre of the above Gin, propone to make
lit what it ttas before the war—THE FAVORITE OF THE Sf)UTH. Our work stands upon sis merits, and
we think tnis a sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best ni -chanic il talent in the
Northern shops,in addition to some of the best workmen from the shop of the iate SAMUEL GRISWOLD.
lh culling the attention of our Cotton Gins, we desire that they should not.Ce the improvement that we offer,
which are substantially as follows:
A PORTABLE ROLL BOX,
For obtaining any inclination of the Gin Rib or Grate, is used; the object of which is to improve in the quantity
pinned, or lessen the quantity and improve the c|uality of lint. Also, to gin damp or wet cotton ; to alter the
jiicking or separating the lint from the seed—either to take more lint off or less lint from the seed, as circum
stances require. We u-e both the common Roll Box and Swinging Front The latter is arranged to let out all
the seeds and hulls in a moment, ar.d is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
We make .cannot, e excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles are drawn in by a cord and the timber
all selected from the best lumber, well seasoned ; and every Brush is made perfectly fire and rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES
Are both ©dilating and plain. Can furnish eithet, as may be ordered. We line them with the best habbit metal.
GIN SAWS,
We make all the sftws that we Use from the best English G» s t Steel and of any size that may be desired. We
employ, to superintend and manufacture our Saws one of the best saw-malcers in the South; and our machinery
for the iiianufactnre of Gins Saws cannot be excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL.
We are the only successful manufacturers of this important a"d useful invention—the Cotton Gin, with the Cot
ton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly bn newessary here to allude to the immoase saving and economi
cal use of crushing cottonseed, ;is a manure. We received a gold medal, as a premium, from the Fair of the
Cotton Planting Convention, held in Macon. Ga., 1860, for the best Cottou Seed Crushers attached to the Giu
Stand, to crush the seed as last as it eneapes from the Roll. We refer to some of the many certificate* that wa
have on the subject
TRIAL OF THE GINS.
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tiied before it leaves the shop—old or new unes.
REPAIR OF OLD GINS. '
We have a complete assoitment of the very best Totton Gin Machinery in the country, and make repairing of
old Gins a specialty. Planters will do well to send in their old Gins, and have them made as good as new, at a
much less cost than anew Gin c nbe bought for. Send on your orders and old Gins early.
We »re also autlio-isied by Messrs. FIN ULA Y’S SOfts to receive orders for FINDLAY & CRAIG’S Screw Cotton
Press, and CRAIG'S Patent Portable Horse Power and Castings generally.
