I have been reading in your paper about several men and women that have been very suc¬ cessful selling self-boating fiat iron, and I concluded I would see what a girl eould do. I have worked 12 days and have sold 151 irons and 218 dollars left after paying all expenses. Everybody is delighted with the iron and I sell one almost every place I show it, as people think they can’t afford to be without one as they save so much fuel and time and don’t burn the clothes. I know I can clear five thousand dollars in a year. How is that for a girl? A Graduate. Splendid, my girl, splendid, you are a true American girl. Anyone can get complete infor¬ mation about the self-heating iron by addressing J. F. CASEY & CO., St. Louis, Mo. It seems to be a winner, as everybody sell¬ ing it writes in its praise, A German scientist rays that women who eat onions will them¬ selves of nervousness and beau¬ tify their complexion at the same time. And as an antidote to the pungent objection which will be promptly brought forth he fur¬ ther asseits that a sprig of par¬ sley dipped iu vinegar and eaten after the onions at once removes all evidence of their consumption. SAM SNIP'S LETTER. I have just returned from Jas¬ per Superior Court where I have spent tne past week. My week's stay was evenly mixed with pleas ure and displeasure. It is eigh¬ teen miles to Monticello, and I never have any business there un¬ less I am sent for, but I have many relatives and friends there of whom I am always glad to meet. I always find their front gates and doors open and the big dog tied in the back yard. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. T. B. Williams who is eighty-five years old and who spent his early life in Jasper county. He is hale and hearty, with a well balanced mind and his conversations was a run¬ ning stream of information to me as he told of his fighting the In¬ dians in 188G, and the early days of Jasper county. This and many other things was a great pleasure to me, but when I was hung up in the jury room forty-eight hours on one case I could not find much pleasure in it. This was a case a gainst Jim Campbell for the kil¬ ling of his brother, last July. The chain of circumstantial ev¬ idence was sufficient to find him • guilty of murder with recommen¬ dation of mercy. Ninety-nine years at hard labor in the chain gang was his sentence. The Campbells were wealthy and it was a hard, legal fight to the fin¬ ish. Court adjourned, to my great joy and I began my journey homeward. I arrived at Machen in time to meet the freight trian on the M. G. & A. railroad. As the great engine rolled up, my friend, En¬ gineer W. F. Williams, invited me to take a seat with him on his engine. He holds the throttle of the monster engine that ' has re¬ cently been put on the road. This engine weighs fifty-four tons, has all the latest improvements and is said to be among the finest engines ever left the Baldwin En¬ gine Works. Mr. Williams is a skilled engineer and handles it like a toy, has been at the throt¬ tle thirteen years and is up to ev ery branch of his bussiness. On a recent excursion trip he pulled with his big engine nearly fifteen hundred passengers. The road is prospering under the manage¬ ment of General manager J. W. Preston. Sam Snip.

THE HITT WIRE COTTON TIE Certificates From Compress Companies, Who Say It Is Far Superior to the Old Flat Tie—The Fertilizing Properties In a Ton of Cottonseed—How to Destroy “Leaf Folder.” Question. —What has become of the wire cotton tie, iu which we as farmers should be much interested? Wo have heard nothing of them recently, and suppose from this that you have been unable to secure a substitute that would answer all the purposes of the flat tie. We as farmers would like to know, if we will be compelled to submit to the imposition of the cotton tie trust another year. Answer.—O wing to the rapidity with which the crop has boon gathered, and also to the fact that most merchants and ginners had already purchased a supply of the flat ties, it has been im¬ possible to introduce the wire tie gen¬ erally this «easou. The first ones tried “,«* will see f from “« the to following certificates, r that the improved Hitt wire tie, double strand and patent buckle, is not only a substitute, but is considered superior ‘ to the ,, flat _ ^ tie respects. A bunch , in many of those weighs 00 lbs. and costs $1.10 at present prices. The flat ties weigh •»• w trust that i * 11 m ■ 1 -v.nl iead those cer tificates a d iimsrig.un fan merits of these new ties.

Hie certificate speaks in no uncertain tones as to the superiority of the wire tie. The ties wiil be on exhi¬ bition at the Agricultural Department, and we Avould be glad to have farmers come iu and examine them. The two additional certificates are from two dif feront compress companies in Albany, Ga. Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 23. To Whom It May Concern: which I am now handling cotton upon Hitt’s wire tie and patent buckle has been used, and having had 25 years’ of experience iu stevedoring and compress¬ ing will say that I can highly recom¬ mend the Mitt device to the public as being in every way far superior to the flat bauds and ^buckles heretofore used. First. It is cheaper, hence the planter gets a benefit. Second. Wire bands will not break and can be tied just as quickly as the fiat ones, hence the compress people are benefited. Third. Wire hands can be tied tighter than flat bands, which means a greater density, and as there will be no broken bands the cotton arrives at destination in much better condition than if it had been compressed with flat bands thereon, hence the shippers are benefited in two ways: first, by lower ocean rates on ac¬ count of increased density, and secondly by having cotton reach destination in better condition than if pressed with flat bands. Fourth. There are no sharp ends of bands to cut the hands of laborers when handling cotton compressed with the Hitt device, hence the stevedores will prefer wire bands upon cotton. Fifth. Underwriters should make a reduction in insurance rates on cotton with wire bauds upon it, and no donbt they will when they are generally used, Mrs. Anna Gage, wife of Ex Deputy U. S. Marshal, Columbus, Kan., says: “I was delivered of TWINS in less than 20 min¬ utes and with scarcely any pain after using only two bottles of 1 ^“MOTHERS' > FRIEND” DID NOT SUFFER AFTERWARD. or « mailed free.

Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga: Dear Sir—I forgot to mention in my letter of yesterday to you that I have had considerable experience in the use of wire bauds upon cotton, I have used them in the past when doubling eottou (putting two bales together) under great pressure in our Brunswick compress. sas ^ales Wire bands will not cut the bagging of cotton bales when two bales ‘arw P resset J \ ut l' ono i \ ot ‘ l '° 10 pressed bales. 1 have proven this fact f ronl practical experience, and I make this statement without fear of con tradition.
