Our Absent Editor —The promising young
Editor of the Gazette in bidding his friends an
affect iuimte adieu, console* them for jii* tempo
rary abs« nee with the news that he will be “rep
resented by a friend whose ability is exceeded
only by hi* modesty." Yes mam! We rejoice
to know that our long and accute suffering from
the effect of extreme modesty, has at lust been
appreciated, and that hereafter we shall have
the sympathy of all our friends. If modesty is
the great virtue it is said to be, we must in jus
tic© to ourselves, lay claim to our entire loveli
lines*. E Pluribus Unum 1 The absquatula
ting EditorJiays wc do not understand “that|Gin”
perhaps Mr. Editor you will give a friend some
intimation as to what Gin you are talking about
There are various kinds of Gins, to wit : Gul
lett’s Steel Brush Gin, which is said to be most
excellent for some purposes—so with lire Amer
ican hand Gin we have seen on exhibition at the
Editor's office, by the side of one of the afore
said Gullett’s—their is also, said to be a Gin
which is usually flavored with the oil of jumper-
Now fellow citizens we may be ignorant of the
qualities of all the Gin’s except the one last
mentioned—but atop, we are forgeting ourselves
Our exti erne modesty will not aliow ua to speak
of its qualities—but we can say with a clear
conscience, that if the said editor has any of the
last mentioned Gin on hand, he ha 9 not notified
of the fact. We bid our talented young frjend
God's speed and pray that he may have a pleas
ant and successful trip—free from break downs,
smash ups and boiler bursting—that he may live
to a ripe old age and die with a good taste in
his mouth.
Dose foe Gossip*. — A reverend gentleman hor
rified a small company a few evenings since, by
telling them that he and his wife had separated.
“Not parted ?** inquiringly exclaimed three or
four.
“Yes,” said the old gentleman, with a sigh,
“we had some word* and parted".
A shudder went round the room, when some
inquired:
“For good !”
“Oh, no," said the divine, “she has only gone
to Philadelpia, and will be back in a day or two.’
Colored Legislators. —So far as heard from
three negroes have been elected to the Georgia
Senate and twenty five to the House of Repre

likely to partake considerably of the pie bald

BUY THE BEST GIN!
The Steel Brush Gin, invented by B. D. Gullet, of Mississippi
ITS AD'V'A.ISrTGKES ARE:
In the quantity of Cotton it Gins. A6O naw Gin will turn ont fire balsa per day easy.
It runs light, never spews—you can’t break the roll by over feeding.
The Steel Brush or Gbmb, straightens out the lint, takes out the dust and motes, and makes so
fine a sample that the
Cotton brings a Cent more per pound
than what i* ginned on any other Gin known in these parts.
I have certificates from 11. T* Platon, J). B. Cade, Dr. J. H. Lane, and others, to these facts.
They all say it runs as light as any, gins more than any, and all say they got from a cent to a
cent and a half more for the Gnllet cotton than for that ginned on other gins, and PAID FOR THE
GIN ON ONJST CROP.
Also I have certificates from Factors and Cotton buyers in .Augusta, that the lint from the Gul
lett Gin is worth a cent more than from the common gins.
Come and soe the certificates, and look at the specimen gin at my office.
It is perfect in every respect, and if you make much cotton, you can’t afford to bb without it.
A LITTLE FELLOW.
Also nn 18 saw hand or power Gin, first rate—said to gin’a bale per day, of beautiful lint. Price

Augusta, Ga., 15th April, 1868.
Upon examination of several iois of Cotton Ginned upon the Gullett Steel Comb Gin, we find
it to show superior ginning, free from trash and nap, and with unb-oken fibre. For spinning pur
poses it would seem to be especially valuable, as tbe freedom from gin cut saves a large propor
tion of the usual waste. We consider the lint from the Gullett Gin worth in the market an aver
age cf fully one cent per pound more than that from the ordinary gins of the country.

do hereby certify that we have purchased several lots of cotton ginned on the Gullett Steel Brush
Gin. and nave found them to show superior ginning; were free from trash and dirt, with the fibre
unbroken, and free from nap, and we paid from one to two cents per pouud over cotton ol the same
classification ginned on tbe common gin used by the .Planters.

Augusta, Ga, March 28; 1868.
J. H. Alexander— Sir : This is to certify that we have sold, during the present season, many
lots of cotton ginned upon tbe Gullett Gin, and always realized a cent or more for it above the mar
ketprice of cotton from the ordinary Gins of the country.
Tne lint from the Gullett Gin is sought alter by all buyers of cotton, as more valuable for spin
ning purposes, bv reason of there being less waste. It will always, in our judgment, command
a higher price than lint fiom any other gin we know of. J. J ROBERTSON A CO,
Having sold Mr. D. B. Cade’s cotton ginned on the above named gin, and also having sold other
cotton ginned on the Gullet Gin, we confirm the statement of Mr. Cade aa to price.
