THE YOUNG ASTRONOMER.
SEPTEMBER 26
The Moon is now out of our and we
can, while reviewingjhfrnsigu'ihcenl planets,
hunt old or new.
ifeke a ...w hurried farewell looks at Aretu
rus very low down in the west, and Antares
in the south west, perhaps already below the
horizon at eight to night to some of onr
readers. These summer friends are rapidly
leaving us. They wiit not be visible at this
hour much longer. Start from the zenith,
(a point exactly overhead), and go down
toward the sou’hern point of the horizon.
Soon after starting, you pass the Dolphin,
.lob’s Coffin. A lew degrees west of this
li'tle constellation is Aitair, in-th** Eigle.
Aitair, Lyra, and Ariied (overhead nearly)
form a beautiful triangle nearly equal sided.
Anded is at the head (northern end) of the
Cross. Its southern end is about, half wav
from Job’s Coffin to Lyra. This Cross is a
heauti ul cluster, lying along the Milky way,
and is easily found, when well known. Low
down on your meridian at this hour, about
twenty degrees above the horizon, is the
constellation Capricornus. Between that
and the Planet Jupiter lte3 Sagittarius. Aries
the first constellation in the Zodiac is just
rising in the East. And below it is Taurus,
with Seven Sara, and still behind them
Orion, in all his glory, waiting for his time
to rise! Our winter nights will be well
adorned. Let us be read for them.

PLAY WITH THE CHILDREN.
“When we were ail children at home noth
ing delighted ns *o much,” said a fiend,
“as a romp wilh my father ; the hour of his
home coming was the happiest in all the
twenty-four. I often think if all parents
would play with their children, home dis
ciple e might entirely lose its severe aspect
and become a law of love.” Children are
not made good by the rod of power. How
many parent# ate willing to devote an hour
or >o to play with the children? Asa little
kitt• n will stop lapping her milk to play
with a string you draw across the floor, so
will the child leave almost anything for a
romp with its father and mother. In these
romps and during these moments of recrea
tion, the great lesson of love is learned by
the child. This close companionship makes
the bond between the parent and child which
results in the future acceptance of advice and
->'e na'urally a dig
nified person, and * pray;
So when your infant first cams to you, you
were not acauetom©*! to its cuce ; but you
did not for that reason allow it to go uncared
for. If you are harassed by worldly anxie
ties, the recreation will benefit you as much
as it benefits the child, and your sleep will
be the sounder for it. The experiment is
worth trying.
A LITTLE ON E’S LOVE.
The Poughkeepsie Eagle tells an affecting
story ot a Imle child between two and three
year# old, whom a lady found walking on
the streets evidently lost, and crying bitter
ly. Taking her by the hand the lady asked
her where she was going.
“I’m going to find papa,” was the reply of
the child between sob?.
“What is your papa’s name?” asked the
lady.
“His name is papa,” replied the innocent
little thing.
“But what is the other name ?” queried
the aiiy. “What does your mamma call
him?”
“She calls him papa,” persisted the little
one.
The lady took the child's hand and led
her along, saying,
“You had better come with me ; I guess
you came this way.”.
“Yes, but I don’t want to go back, I want
to go to my papa,” replied the little girl,
crying afresh as if her heart would break,
“What do you want of your papa?” asked
the lady.
“I want to kiss him.”
Just then a sister of the child came along,
looking for her, and led her away. From
subsequent inquiries it appeared that the lit
tle one's papa, whom she was so earnesily
in search of, had recently d>ed. In her lone
liaess and love tor him she tired of waiting
for him to come home, and had gone to find
him and greet him with the accustomed kiss.
THE TWO lULLS-A FABLE.
Two bills were waiting in tbe bank for
their return. One was a little bill, only one
dollar ; the other sai a big bill, a thousand
dollar bill.
While lying there fide by side, they fell
a talking about their usefulness. The dol
lar b,li murmured cut:
“Ah, if I weie as big as you, what good
J would do! I could move in such high
places, and people would be so careful of
me wherever I should go! Everybody would
admire me, and would want to take me home
with them; but sn.al! as I am what good
can I do? Nobody cares much for me. I
am too little to be of any use.”
“Ah, yes 1 that is so,” said the thousand
dollar bill; and it haughtily gathered up its
well-trimmed edges that were lying next the
little bill, in conscious superiority. “That
is so,” it replied. “If you were as great as
lam, a thousand times bigger than you are,
theu you might hope to do some good iu the
world.”
Just then the cashier comes, takes the lit
tle murmuring bill, and kiudly gives it to a
poor widow.
“God bless you/” she cries, as with a
smiling face she receives it. “My dear,
hungry children can now have some bread.”
A thrill of joy ran through the little bill as it
was folded up in the widow’s hand ; and it
whispered, “I may do some good if i am
small.” And when it saw the bright faces
of the fathtrless it was very glad.
Then the little dollar bill began its journey
of usefulness. It went first to the baker's
for bread, then to the miller’s, then the farm
er’s, then to the laborer's, then to the doc
tor’s, then to the minister’s ; and wherever
it went, it gave pleasure, adding something
to their comfort and joy.
At last, after a long, long pilgrimage of
usefulness among every sort of people, it
came back to the bank again, crumpled, de
faced. ragged, softened by its daily use. See
ing the thousand dollar bill laying there,
it exclaims:
“Pray, sir, what has been your mission of
usefulness?"
The big bill sadly replies: “I have been
from safe to safe among the rich where few
could see me, and they were af aid to let me
go out far, lest I should be lost. Few indeed
are they whom I have made happy by my
mission.” The little dollar bill said, “It is
better to be small, and go among the multi
tudes doing good, than to be so great as to be
imprisoned in the eafes of the few.”
Moral.—The doing well of little every day
duties makes one the mo3t useful and happy.
Well Spring.

FINE LARGE STRAWBERRIES.
There is probably no other fruit in the
garden that gives so much pleasure as does
the strawberry. How impatiently is the time
awaited when the first berries shall make
their appearance. Days before the proper
time, is the strawberry j.io* visited in the
fruitless search for the earliest berries. Then
later in the season children, and grown peo
ple, too, may be seen wendering among the
rows in a pleasant -strife to see who can
find the largest specimen. Exclamations of
victory are heard, first from one and then
from another, as a giant “Monarch” orsome
other tempting looking berry is held up to
view. At last the berries are brought in to
have their sizes noted —some seven, others
eight, and a few even nine inches in circum
ference. The vanquished ones seem to take
their defeat very easily, as they appear to be
well satisfied with the possession of the tro
phieß that they have found. Those who are
unacquainted with some of the newer and
larger occupants of the strawberry garden
will perhaps he pleased with the following
description.
President Lincoln. If these mammoth
betries could only be brought into view,
these words in their prai se would hardly be
needed. The appearance of these beautiful
rich colored berries has been hailed withde
light by nearly all who have bad an oppor
tunity to examine them ; and it could hardly
be otherwise when their immense size is seen
—numbers of berries measuring over seven
inches around, and one specimen nearly
eleven. The plants have the g tod quality of
ripening quite early in the season, and of
continuing to furnish their fine flavored ber
ries for fully a month.
The Pioneer. Though known and care
fully tested for some years by the originator,
yet the past, summer has been the first when
the people at large have had a good oppor
tuni’y of examining this splendid berry
Well may it be calld the pioneer, a? it
promises to take the lead in more ways than
one. It is one of the very earliest kinds to
ripen, commencing this year before the first
of June, and continuing in bearing for over
a month. There are few kinds that can be
fouud to excel the plants in hardiness, as our
severe winters seem to make little if any im
pression npon it. The bright color and firm
ness of its beautiful large red berries will
tender it a special favorite with amateurs, as
well as of unusual value to those who may
be. growing fruit for market. Bright berries
like these, from six to seven inches in cir
cumference, will find few to refuse them.
Kerr's Late Prolific seems to be a great
favorite with some who have tried it. One
correspondent writes that he has grown a
specimen berry nearly nine inches in cir
cumference, and that he thinks it one of the
very nest, ims is cormcierahry larger than
I have grown them, but the differaon. u.
soils may account fc hi. ...coess, one
locality being pometimes better suited to
some varieties than others.
Great American , with its superb berries,
weighing over two ounces each, has met with
a warm reception this year, such as many a
lesser berry might greatly covet.
Captain Jack and Crescent Seedling are run
ning a close race, each striving to prove that
it excels the other in productions. The lat
ter has yielded at the rate of over 1,400
quarts to the acre, but the contest can hard
ly be called finished as yet. Such are some
of the pleasures that the strawberry garden
is very willing to afford to all who give it
due attention; and if giant berries are de
sired, then probably few kinds can be found
to excel those that are mentioned above.
Those planting in the early fall months will
usually succeed in obtaining berries of the
largest size the following summer, and may
gain nearly a year in the growth and size of
plants by so doing. R. H. Haines.

SATURDAY NIGHT.
How many a kiss has been given; how
many a curse ; how many a caress ; how many
a kind word ; how many a promise has been
broken; how many a heart has been wreck
ed; how many loved ones have been lowered
into the narrow chamber ; how many a babe
has gone from earth to heaven ; how many a
cradle or crib stands silent, which last Sat
urday night held the rarest of all the treas
ures of the heart.
A week is a life; a week is a history; a
week makes sorrow of gladness.
Go home to thy family, man of business,
go home heart-tearing wanderer ; go home
to cheer what awaits you, wrong waif of life’s
breaker; go home to those you love, and
give one night to the joys and comforts fast
flying by. Leave your books with complex
figures, yonr dirty work-shop, your busy
store ; rest with those you love, for God only
knows what the next Saturday night may
bring.
Forget the world of care and the battle of
life, which have furrowed the week, and
draw close the family hearth. Saturday night
has awaited your coming with the bitterest
tears and silence.
Go home to those whom you love, and as
you bask in the loved presence and meet to
return the loved embrace of your heart’s
pets, strive to be a better man, and to bless
God forgiving his weary children so dear a
stepping stone in the river to the eternal
Saturday night.
HOW MUCH SLEEP IS REQUIRED.
Blaine was informed by Gen. Picbegan
that during his active campaign in Holland
he never for a year slept more than one hour
in twentv four, and the same is related of
Charles 111., of Sweden, during his wonder
ful career. Jeremy Taylor, during a part of
his life, slept only three or four hours in the
twenty four ; and Napoleon only slept four
or five hours each day during his military ca
reer, but he was able to fall asleep at any
time in the midst of his work when he felt
drowsy. John Hunter, the great surgeon,
slept four hours at night and one after din
ner. Sir John Sinclair gives the history of
a man who had reached the advanced age of
ninety-one, and all his life had slept but four
hours in the twenty four. Sir Walter Scott
said that he was not entirely himself unless
he passed seven hours in total unconscious
ness. Southey required ten hours, going to
bed at ten and rising at eight.
Straw matting should be washed with a
cloth dampened iu salt water. Indian meal
sprinkled over it and thoroughly swept out
will also cleanse it finely.
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
Lizzie Looav. third daughter of Col. J.
H. at.d Mrs. S. W. Logan, one of onr oldest
and most respected families, after a fever of
only eleven days, and wnile anxious friends
were congratulating each other that the
crisis had passed, sudddenly fell into a coma
from which she woke no more, and died Au
gust 26, 1877, in her 17th year. “ Sleep,
the twin sister of death,” came to her as an
angel, softlv waiving away all consciousness
of pain, or anxious thought of life or death,
filling her mind with pleasant dreams, and
thus bore her away into the shadows, leav
ing a gentle smile on the once tuneful lips.
Her pastor, at the Methodist Church of
which she had been a member from her 11th
year, made use of the i-ic-h occasion to im
press on the minds of a large audience, es
pecially on her classmates, many well-timed
and well pointed lessons, some of which will
go with them through life, associated with
the memory of one so much beloved for
her buoyancy of life, blended with gentle
ness of bearing in daily intercourse. The
preacher made a beautiful, philosophic, and
most comforting allusion to the fact that she
was about to enter on the last year of the
college course. “The days of the school
girl are not lost.” As the session had not
yet far ty . pened, and the notice too short,
her classmates were unable to carry out their
wishes, to follow the coffin in procession;
yet most of them managed to be there, and
with tearful eyes and saddened hearts to say
the iast “ good bye,” and join in the long
“amen.” The pall bearers were young men
—a beautiful fitness in things borrowed from
the old world and the olden time. It was
pleasant to see among the mourners several
of our Hebrew brethren, who, like the Jews
who loved Mary and Martha, “ went to the
grave to weep there.” What words, as we
walk from "the gate to the grave” can come
wiih more healing on their wings, or afford
a richer balm to ihe mother’s bleeding heart
and the father’s broken spirit, than those of
the beautiful Burial Service, which tells us
that we shall live again—all meet again ?
To the silent a nd. ellers in the dust the preach
er’s voice is the prophetic announcement
ihat “ the night is far spent.” The day
spring from on high will shortly visit us
again. The iast hymn at the church—“ Si
ster, thou wast mild and lovely,” etc. —was
singularly appropriate. The pastor read it
with much feeling, and the choir, selecting
the simple but richly plaintive air, “ Mt.
Vernon,” rendered it tenderly beautiful.
Yet, to those who had heard the music be
tore this recent bereavement, it was painful
ly evident that "one was not there,” one
lute string was silent; sadly vacant one chair.
We were reminded on our way to the grave
yard that exactly ten years ago the same
mourners went there to hide away from mor
tal sight an older sister—“ Treasures hid in
the sand.” Some said the decade to these
parents had been “ marked by two gloomy
days.” Alas 1 to us, short sighted dust
grovelers, it must be so now: but Irom a
higher stand-point that decade is bounded
uot by days of darkness, but by light—the
asceni ot two bright stars into the eternal
ascendent. They were both daughters of
music and song, and have left the songs and
accidental discords ot earthly temples to join
ihe songs of angels and multitudes who view
the glories of the upper sky. C. W. T.
Mrs Lucy Gates Deupreb was born in
Brunswick county, Virginia, in May, 1807;
and died at Athene, Georgia, July 3, 1877.
She was the tlde-t daughter of Captain
John Atkin-on, and his wife Elizabeth Bun
dle. Her scholastic education was completed
at Salem, North Carolina. In 1833, she was
married to Dudley Peebles, and soon after
ward removed with him to Merriwether
county, Georgia. They had three children.
William and Marietta were taken, the oue
from Emory College at Oxford, and the
other, lrom LaGrange Female College on
the day of her graduation, to untimely graves.
Great was hergrief at the loss of these prom
ising children. In 1860 her faithful and af
’eciionate husband died, and last of all, her
dear Susan, a child of life long affliction and
the object of her mother’s most intense and
compassionate love, was called away. She
was of all the mothers we ever knew the
fondest of her children and the most solici
tous about their welfare, especially when out
of her sight. Whether their untimely deatjuH

was married to Lewis J. Deupree of Ogle
thrope county, Georgia. To him she was a
prudent, faithful, and affectionate wife, and
filled the moat trying perhaps of all domes
tic relations, that of step mother, to his three
daughters then just approaching womanhood,
in a manner at once satisfactory and agree
able both to him and to them. In 1870 she
was railed to mourn the loss of her kind and
devoted husband, Mr. Deupree. She is thus
seen to have been a woman of many bereave
meets and bitter sorrows. But through them
all the God whom she had served from her
childhood sustained her. Cheerful by nature
and prayerlul by grace, devoted to duty, to
her family, and to God, she was a woman of
many excellences of character. Her piety,
though ever sincere, was never ostentatious.
She was frequently heard to say that she
would be willing for all the world to know
every act of her life. She was a cheerful
helper of every good cause, and a liberal
supporter of the Methodist Church, of which
she was long an accepiahle member. Many
poor had reason to bless her for kindness
bestowed on them while she lived ; and now
when she is gone, all who knew her honor
her memory as that of one of the purest,
noblest, and best ot women. Our loss is great,
but only for time; her gain is doubtless great
er for all eternity, for we trust that our de
parted loved one has found a place among the
saints in the better inheritance,

rie joined the M. E. Church, South, du
ring the year 1848, serving it until death in
the varied relations of leader, exhorter, and
preacher. Honesty, industry, and econo
my were the leading traits ot his character,
always endeavoring to provide well lor his
family and to make comfortable those about
him. He served the Church as leader for
several years, until in obedience to the Mas
ter’s call, he asked for and was granted a
license to exhort in 1863. In this relation
he served the Church until November 12,
1870, when he received a license to preach,
aud was subsequently ordained deacon by
Bishop Keener in December, 1875. He
had been m feeble health for several years,
therefore was not able to do so much for the
Master as he desired. Yet he preached
whenever health and occasion permitted.
For three months before his death he was
confined to his house, suffering greatly with
a pain in the head. During this time his
faith was severely tried. Conscious that his
end was near, his love for his family and the
thought of leaving his wife with several little
oues bore heavily on his mind and grieved
his heart. But when fully persuaded that
he must go, lie gave all into the hands of
God, and while he could speak, assured fam
ily and trieuds that ail was well. His last
audible expressions were, “Glory, Halelu
jahl” When he lost the power of speech,
in response to the request ot a brother he
closed his eyes to signify that all was still
well with him, aua calmly expired. He
leaves a wife, nine children, aud many
trienda to mourn his loss. May that God
who so blessed him in death, comtort his
family in life and bring them all together
again in His kingdom. J. L. Perryman.
Miss Mary Creamer was born in Green
ville District, S. C., April 8, 1826; and died
in Bartow county, Ga., July 8, 1877.
She was a ptoiessor of religion aud mem
ber c-f the M. E. Church, South, for about
eighteen years. Possessing a “meek and
quiet spirit ’ bhe was unobtrusive in her so
cial ana religious life. Her piety wa9 uni
form aud consistent. She did not blaze like
a meteor lor a moment and then go out. Nor
did she like the suit shiue with sued brilliancy
in ihe day time as to obscure all other lights.
But like a modest star she shoue the same
by day and by night. Eor twenty-seven years
she had liven with in law, Bro.
L. W. Gaines, of Euharlee. She took a
lively interest in the weltare of his children,
aud exerted a most salutary iutiuence over
them. In 1843 she had an attack of pneu
rnonia from which she never entirely recov
ered. She died dually ot pulmonary con
sumption. When death approached, she
was without fear. Divine grace had so re
fined her spirit that she was conscious of her
meetness for Heaven. It is not strange that
she should express perfect willinguessto die.
Her last day on earth was spent in prayer.
The last word she was heard to utter was,
“Jesus.” Through that blessed name she
had found ‘sufficient grace' for living and-for*"
dying, and now she utters it that she may
“enter in through the gates into the City.”

- He was a son of Charles and All
Rilla Dean, and was born in Gwinnett coo l '
ty Ga., February 24. 1831; was licensed"*-
preach in 1853; and joined the Georgia CfA
ference the latter part of 1854.
It can be truthfullv said of him as of f
o f hv, “From a child, thou bast known
Holy Scriptures”—l have often heard hiW
say that from bis earliest recollections he was!
piously inclined, fond of reading his BibleJ
and other religions books. He did not unitu
with the Church, nor profess faith in Christ
until his 17th year. Then he felt called to
the ministry, but his timidity and deep sense?
ot unworthiness, caused him to resist, and 1
consequently spend several years in spiritual
darkness. Faith, and the strivings of thf
Holy Spirit finally triumphed, and he deteS
mined to try even though he failed; so Ija
gave himself unreservedly to Christ. He
speaks very feelingly in some reminiscencia
of himself, of leaving home, bidding fareryell
to brothers, sisters, father, and mother, and
taking up his life work. Devotedness to
Christ and to the work of the ministry, meek
ness and humility, were his characterifetic
qualities. He was possessed too of a Aon
science so tender that it felt the least Cf
proach of sin. He was never very
and most of his lire pursued his work throujh
much pain and suffering, but without nT
muring or any desire to give up. Rest w,RI
oftentimes have been very beneficial, butßs
many blank books, well filled with clov
written sermons and essays, show
took no rest, spared no pains to do his
well. While preaching he was attaclß,
though not violently, with congestion ofmi
brain, which lesulted in death, whwky^Bj
ever, had for him no terrors. He
through the “dark valley" but
was illumined by the presence of his Beloved
and His rod, and His staff comforted lim.
We knew him as a pastor, and a9 a fritid.
and we never knew one whom we felt tpre
inclined to lean upon for religious couisel
and sympathy. ’Twas sweet to listen to his
pious instructions, and hear him talk of
spiritual life. He was loved not only byjns
flock, but by many who are not pious, aswas
evinced by their many kindnesses during his
illness. Asa husband, none but his desited
wife knew his value. He was ever atteffive
to her every wish, ever careful of her helth,
aud did everything in his power to re;der
her itinerant life, pleasant and not onenjas;
and in his devoted love she found strength
“to endure all things.” He leaves kged
patents, wife, child, sister, brothers, tnd
many devoted friends to deplore their oss
here, but thanks be unto God —“he ijsts
from his labors and his works do follow hii.’
The Bweet perfume ot his life will long loger
about our heatts, shedding its fragrance )’er
our pathway to the tomb. His life of !dor
and of love is not lost. He will welccne
many to that heavenly shore who thiogh
him were brought to Christ. May alfJio

loving mother of several children, all ofv/om
influenced by her pious walk and exanple,

her—she having joined that Church qi their
removal to Georgia in 1851. In 1853 she
Came among us and at once became afßiated
with the High Shoals Church, Morgai cir
cuit, in which she kept the faith and flashed
her course. On the first of July 1877 she
was called from this life of toil and to
rest beneath the shade of the trees of ?ara

Mrs. Catharine Winham, beloved w fe of
E. T. Winham, died in Sumter county,S C.,
Sept. 4, 1877.
At an early age the Spirit of God rroved
upon her heart, and she gave her heart to
Christ. She walked with God, and by her
example clearly set forth the truth of ti e re
ligion she professed. All who saw her
“ took knowledge of her that she had joeen
with Jesus.” Suddenly she was
“to meet the Bridegroom;” but thbffum
mons found her prepared to meet him wit h
oil in her lamp.” A few moments b;:f° re
she died she was asked: “ Was it swc*t to
live for Jesus?” She exclaimed—“ Yes;
and sweet to die in Jesus!” The fimily
circle has been broken on earth, but shl has
taken her place in the family circle otlhea
ven. Friends mourn the loss of one oj the
truest members of their fraternity ; angels
rejoice in this accession to their numbers.
She fought the good fight, she kept the -aitb,
and she has received the reward wfc\<Mithe
righteous Judge giveth to all that riain
faithful until death. J. T. P.
Samuel T. Houston was bom in Ii shell
county, N. C., August 4, 1811; and di-‘d in
Cherokee county, Ga., August 4, 1877.
He professed religion and joined the M. E.
Church, South, in 1868. He was effi cted
most of his life, but bore his afflictions pa
tiently—ever resigned to the will of the Mas
ter. In all the varied relations of citizen,
husband, father, brother, and friend, he
nobly exemplified the traits of character that
make up the true Christian gentleman.
was selected by his fellow-citizens to repre
sent them in the Slate Convention in 1868, in
which position he proved true to Georgiy and
his friends. Asa Christian he was deviated,
consistent, and sincere, —always glad -.>hen
an opportunity offered to go iuto the l> use
of the Lord. His end was peace. Gently
and quietly as the falling of night’s dew&. he
sank to rest wheu life’s weary wheels ce weed
to move. C. M. MoCujmj.
Tribute of Respect,
Passed by the Quarterly Conference"of
Graham Circuit, South Caroliua Contereijice:
Whereas, the felt destroyer, Death, (who
knocks alike at the cottages ot the poorfand
the palaces of the rich with an impajtial
hand, has been allowed by the great And
wise Ruler of the Universe to take fromßfcL
midst our dear friend and fellow
Robert S. Cautiikn —young and in the
of life, full of hope for future uselulu^H,
etrong in the many virtues and Christian
graces: And while we feel deeply stricken,
and solemnly conscious of his loss to our
community, Church, and Sundav-school,
there comes the sweet consolation that,
through the salvation of our Lord and Sa
viour, he is free 10 rest under the shade of
the trees, beyond the river of Death ; and
s a tribute to hi 9 memory we
T’ Resolve 1. That we deeply mourn the de-
J of onr dear brother, Robert S Cau
jfyin, as in him we feel the loss of an efficient
gjnember and officer ; that in all our inter
■WUrse with him, we have found in him ster-
Hkr integrity and consistent piety ; that in
Hp death the Church has lost one of her
Kostjiseful memb-rs, and the Sunday-school
one of its most zealous supporters.
2. That we submissively bow to the inscru
table will of ihe Almighty, who does all
thiugs for good to them that love the Lord;
-that while we mav not see his cheerful face
any more on earth, we shall yet, in the
“ Sweet by and by,” sing Redeeming Love
with him beyond the tide.
3. That we tender to the family of our de
ceased brother our heartfelt sympathy, and
assure them of our sincere prayers in their
sad bereavement. W. Martin, P. E.

IN making my seventh annual announcement to the planters of the South, lam happy to inform
them that I have been m ikinu improvements from time to time, to suit the wants of every cotton
raiser, I aui glad to say th ;r 1 hnvo unproved the saw Cotton Gin till I have the most perfect Gin in
the United States, if not tho world.
My first improvement va in the roll box, which did awav with all choking or breaking the roll—
which is the best Gin ever made. In proof of which nearly every gin maker is infringing on it, more
or les. It enables the pin 10 Gin more cotton in the dav, yielding more lint cotton from . given
number of pounds ol seed cott n than any oilier Gin. My last improvement relates io the improve
ment of the lint, which will ti ke our al! impurity— such as sand, dust, trash, knaps, etc., thereby
ecu'oli.ig the farmer to soil his ct in for tu 2 cents per pound more Hi m the same cotton will bring
ginned ou aoy oiuer Gin,making a difference of trom $2.50 to SIO.OO per bale in favor of ihe farmer.
In proof of what 1 y, read the following certiiiciites from some of the best aud largest planters
in the Stare.
I would most respectfully request all parties intending to order Gins from me, to send in their
orders at once, so thai I may have time to make thorn that will be in every respect what i claim lor
them, as a man will not uo as well in a rush as when lie ins time to do it right.
Repairing is a Specialty.
I will put my cotton cleaner to any gin for $.5 —that includes a now brush, as the old brush will
not do with it. f sell agricuitura engines an l warrant them.

E VTONTON, GEORGIA, January 30.
Mr. P. C. SAWYER— Dear Sir; After giving the Gin and Condenser we bought of you a tr al on
365 bales of coi ton, we are prepared to say it is one of he best Gins we have ever seen. The lint made
by it sells for at least from one-half to one cent p r pound mor* than the some cotton would ginned
on tho ordinary Gins in the country. W c weighed up 1,6 0 pounds of seed cotton and ginned it out in
75 making 545 pounds of lint. VVe don’t hesitate to say the gin and cotfou e. ndemer are the
best we ever saw. Yours truly, THOMAS BEARD, of J. T. Dennis & Cos.
EATONTON, GEORGIA, January 17, 1877.
I have used the Sawyer Gin for the last three months. I was compelled to sell the Massey Gin on
account o* sample. I realize from one-half to three-qualters of a coat a pound more on the lint. I
do not hesitate to say it is the best Gin I have ever used. It makes good sample out of stain cotton,
and it will sell for one cent a pound moio. I advise all farmers that wish to realize a good price for
cotton, to try the Sawyer Gin. ZACH I. EDMONDSON.
DAWSON, January 23, 1877.
P. C. SAWYER, Esq., Macon, Ga.—Dear Sir: I bought ono of your Eclipse 50 saw Colton Gins,
I run it by water, and after a fair trial of three months I feel at liberty to recoinmond it as one of the
best Gins in the State. It never ch kes, gins the lint clean off the seed, and makes the be.-t sample
out of storm co't-on that I havo ever seen by any other gin. 1 do not send you this for your bene fit
only, but for the benefit of tho planting interest, as every farmer should have a first-class gin which
will enable him to obtain one- half cent more per pound for his cotton. Y curs truly, J. B. CRIM.
CLINTON, GEORGIA, January 20, 1877.
I purchased last fall of P. C. Sawyer one of his Gins, and set it up and put it to work, and 1 must
say it proved to be belter than expected. It makes the best sample of lint out of stain cotton of any
gin I have ever tried ; and also cleans out more dirt, and trash, than any other that I have tried ; and
the beautv is it drops the dirt ana trash with the seed, where it can’t be seen. S. T. BRAGG.
