There is on exhibition at narper A
Turner's store the neatest contrivance for
drawing water that we have ever seen. It
is vastly superior to the old-fashioned
windlass or pump in every respect, and
ranch more durable. By the use of this ele
vator it is said one thousand gallons of water
can be drawn in an hoar’s time, aod with less
fatigue than by any other process. Read
the advertisement in another column, and
then go and see the apparatus.
George Stevens, a tenant on Mr. Smith
Griffin’s place, exhibited a stalk of cotton
this week bearing 260 fully developed bolls,
crop. It was of the variety known as
‘ Dickson’s Pro’ific,” and seemed to he re
garded as a curiosity by those interested in
the growth of the staple. Mr. George
Schaefer shipped it to New York on Tues
day last, where it is now on exhibition.
You hove probably beard of the orguin
ette * Yes? Well, you should see it. We
interviewed it last Tuesday ; Joe Tomlinson
bad it, and we confess our readiness to as
sert that It is the greatest musical wonder
•f the age. It bids fair to eclipse all other
instruments with which it may be brought
in competition, not excepting even the soft
toned and mildly-melodious band-organ.
The ntnsic is arranged on sheets of paper,
numerous perforations representing the notes.
One of these sheets is introduced Into the
machine, in pretty much the same manner
yon would feed a cane-mill. Yon then turn
a crank, a la band-organ, and the result is
simply astonishing. The most delightful
music is induced by this operation, every
note sounding fall, clear and distinct. We
were entertained with various selections for
half an hour or longer, and when it was
finally carried out we could not repress a
feeling of ndmiration for the thing, small
aDd unprepossessing as it was. Mr. Tomlin
son has the agency for this county, and we
have no doubt be will sell a great many.
Hurrah for Fayette!
Mr. Editor:— Four young ladie«—Misses
Fannie Hudson, Mollie Marsbborn, Hester
Marshborn and Alice Teel—picked 1665
pounds of cotton in two days. Cotton picked
on Mr. Reuben Jackson’s premises and
weighed by Mr. Jackson. No need of yonng
men going West to seek their fortunes when
such girls as these are to be found in Fayette
county. A. Y. M.
To Prevent and Cure tL,4r*aa

WITH AN UNTARNISHED
Reputation for Fair Dealing I
THIS may be called a fine speech by these
who have never taken the trouble to
nrnke my acquaintance, or to study toy mode
of doing bosineas. Still, I don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in fact to be InAi
enced in any way by a mere advertisement,
but cordially invite all to call and investigate
for themselves, feeling sure I can prove that
I mean business and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than farir
weather. Nothing but steady, low prices,
year in and year out. wilf create and main
tain a trade such as I have had since ) com
menced business. No need of argument —
prices alone tell the story.
I have now in stock, and will cootinae to
keep such articles as
DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,
BOOTS. SHOES, , HATS, CAPS,
PLANTATION SDPPLfES,
And a varied and choice assortment of
GENERAL MERCHANDISE,
Thanking my friends and patrons for their
fornaer liberal support, I hope, by keeping
the best ami selling as low as the lowest, to
merit a continuance of the same.
