afternoon and commenced shootiDg it off in the
alley between Second and Third streets, back
of Hardeman & Sparks’ warehouse. Of course

however, for DonLevy soon overhauled him and
took him to the headquarters of all such.

THE HOOKE COTTON GIN.
ALSO, A GENUINE PATTERN OF THE GRISWOLD GIN,
FORMERLY AT DOUBLE WELLS.
T HE undersigned, having resumed the manufacture of tho above Gin, propose to make it what itwas
before the war—The favorite of the South. Our work stands upon its merits, and we think this a
sufficient guarantee. We have secured the services of some of the best mechanic*! talent in the North
ern shops, in addition to someof the bestworkmenfromtheshopof the late Samuel Griswold. Mr. Chas.
Gardner, who served eight years’apprenticeship under E. Carver & Co., at East Bridgewater, Mass.,
and who was employed as Superintendent of the Double Wells Shop, from the commencement of the
manufacture of the Moore Cotton Gin, until its suspension, is again at his post, ana will give each Gin
his personal inspection before it leaves the shop.
In calling the attention of planters to our Cotton GinB, we desire that they should notice the mprove-
meats that we offer, which are substantially as follows :
- A PORTABLE ROLL BOX,
w V1 piefflDgL.-.. . ■■■
the seed, as circumstances require. We use both the common Roll Box and a Swinging Front. The
latter is arranged to let out all the seeds and hulls in a moment, and is very easily managed.
THE GIN BRUSH
Wo make, cannot be excelled by any hair brush used. The bristles aro all drawn in by a cord, and the
timber is all selected from the beet lumber, well seasoned; and every Brush is made perfectly fire and
rat proof.
CYLINDER AND BRUSH BOXES
Are both osetBating and pi .in- Can furnish either, as may be ordered. We line them with the best
babbit metal. .
GrUNT- SAWS.
We make all the Saws that we nse from tho best English Cast Steel, and of any size that may be de
sired. We employ, to superintend and manufacture our SawB, one of the beBt saw-makera in the South;
and our machinery for the manufacture of Gin Saws cannot be excelled.
COTTON SEED CRUSHING MILL.
We are the only suocestful manufacturers of this important and useful invention—the Cotton Gin,
with the Cotton Seed Crushing Mill attached. It will hardly be-nccessary here to allude to the immense
saving and economical use of crashed cotton seed, as a manure. We received a gold medal as a premi
um, from the Fair of the Cotton Planters’ Convention, held in Macon, Ga., 1860, for the best Cotton
Seed Crushers attached to the Gin Stand, to crush the seod as fast as it escapes from the BoQ. We re
fer to some of the many certificates that we have on the subject.
TRIAL OE THE GINS.
We keep constantly on hand seed cotton, and every Gin is tried before it leaves the shop—old or new
om REPAIRING OF OLD GENS.
We have a complete assortment of the very best Cotton Gin Machinery in the country, and make re
pairing 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 a new Gin can be bought for. Send on your orders and old Gins
early.
We are also authorized by Messrs. Findlay’s Sons to receive orders for Findlay & Craig’s Screw Cottpn
Prees, and Craig’s Patent Portable Horse Power, and Castings generally.
For particulars, send for Circular and Price List.

R. FINDLAY’S SONS:

PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON 6IN
TT'OR tho past forty years I have been engaged in
JD the manufacture of Cotton Gins, and have set
to work on plantations, and Save seen in operation
hundreds of Gins, and have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing this the BEST WORKING GIN I ever
eaw. It runs light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break the roll—no use for
self-feeders—and no trouble to feed. The commit
tee at the late Bibb County Agricultural Pair, being
so well satisfied of its superiority over anythieg
they ever saw, awarded me the premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any ono in want of a Gin.
A sample of Excelsior and also of tho Griswold
Gin can bo seen at Caihait & Curd’s Hardwa.ro
Store, Macon, Ga. Send for desepriptive list.

Griswold Cotton Gin.
I will continue to manufacture the celebratod

past two years, but one single complaint, and not
one Gin returned. Every Gin warranted. A sam
ple can be seen at Car kart & Curd’s Hardware
Store.
