the cotton gin was a private tea
cher in his family on a place call
ed Mulberry Grove, a rice planta

the Slate of Georgia,and very soon
it was adopted and used all ovei

Some of yon r rcadris will no
doubt be surprised to learn that
the first bale of cotton shipped b
England, went from Savannah. A
merchant by the name of M iHer, a
Scotchman, was the first man ti
send cotton to England. I knew
him well, and on one occasion, In

quantities, and he had the soeo

throne, all our hats, shoes, clothes,
plows, plow lines, and almost eve
rylhing else we used were made in
the country. Speaking of hats:
Why, sirs, we had the best lints 1
ever saw. They were made of fur.
i’alking to an old man the ot-liei
■ lav about these hats, "O,” said
lie, "I rememlier how I used to
catch rabbits, coons aud beavers,
and carry them to the hatters."
They were good hats, and lasted
many years. 1 knew an old Meth
odist preacher who wore one 20
years. When you bought a fine
fur hat. an oil silk covering was
thrown in, aud when the wearer
went out he always covered his
hat to protect it from the dust and
rain. But King Cotton lias ban
ished all these from his realm, and
now I doubt if there is a hat made

we transfer it to our columns with

will take up the same Mtbjeel ami
discus* it in their columns, give
it a Iborougli aualvzing, sU»w up
all the points, and if you will take
their art icles and compare litem,
there will always lie some point
of disagreement. There arc, of
course,exceptions to this as well
as to all other general rules, and
we propose to give an instance
where three Georgia editois arc
iinanimously of the same opinion.
Tiie editor of the Southern
World, published in Atlanta, says:
"I know the proprietors of Brad
field'* Female Regulator, and can
vouch for their high standing in
thi* community. I also, from tin
own knowledge, can testily that i:
is a great boon to woman. *lui
has no superior, and every lady
ought to send for nod read their
book on female diseases, which
they mail free.”
The editor of the Milledgeviile
Chronicle says he considers Brad
field’* Female Regulator the great
est blessing ever discovered for
suffering woman; says he knows
of six ladies in Iiis community
w ho have been cured sound and
well by its use. and he would ad
vise every suffering woman to use
it.
From the editor of the Gaines
ville Eagle: “I consider Krad-
ficld's Female Regulator the best
medicine ever compounded and
offered to the public for wliieh it
is recommended. I am teeil ac
quainted icilh a lady who never
had any health until she com
menced usiug it. It gave her im
mediate relief, and frnni that lime
until now she has enjoyed the best
of health. I can say with hearty
good will.-God speed Dr Bradlield
iu the sale of his never fatliug Fe
male Regulator?' ”
