? PATENT DOUBLE RIB GIN.

HAVE invented and obtained letters patent for
/ Double-chilled Reversing Rib for Cotton
Gins, which win manufacture at Cotton Valley,
Macon county, Alabama.
The advantage of my Improvement in the Cotton
Sin Rib, consists in making them reversible SO as
TO do double service Each half Of my improved
Rib is made with the same curve, and the two ends
are of the same size and shape; so that when one
end is worn out and becomes unfit for use, the
farmer take them off himself, reverse and re-
place them again, and make them do double the
service of these heretofore used II will save the
farmer the trouble and expense Of transporting his
Cotton gin to some factory and procuring new
set OF Ribs. Any one can take them off and re.
place them again. All that it requires ia tale out
the screws and RIM them Back again, and then you
will have new set Of Ribs. 81
Ny Improved Rib will not be very popular With
sln-makers in general, for they say that the eins
last too long Some have acknowled that i, is
superior to any Rib they have ever seeu 1t is the
farmer that want to please, and ifhe will give
ME trial, will certainly DO it. With twelve
years experience, flatter myself that can make
as good gin as any one; and with my improves
meut, know that can make them hst ohethird
longer, without any expense for repairing. An
that ask is to give me trial. Persons wishing
to buy my Double Rib Gin, will please order them,
forit will be impossible for agents to call on ALL
4 will deliver Gins at our Factory, for Two Dollars
per saw.

THE TREASURY BoNDs-The new bonds Of
the Government paying nearly ia per
cent, are issued payable to blank, SO that
retailers may dispose of lots to be filled up
with the name of those making the invest
ment. This plan is pursued in the large
cities North.
There is much pleasure expressed both in
side the Sub-Treasury office and by the
financial public, that the routine and trouble
of preliminary deposits and the forwarding
of certificates to Washington may now be
dispensed with. The bonds are handed out
to applicants, after the registration of the
numbers, with or without filling in the
names, as desired. The banks and brokers
are thus enabled to take out large sums,
additional to the general subscription of the
former, for the supply Of their dealers, in
retail parcels or in single bonds, $50 to
$4,000. The bonds, for convenience of size
and the ready collection of the coupons at
tached as well as specimens of the engra-
ver's art are every thing that could be de-
sired. The whole arrangement does great
credit to the officials of the Treasury at New
York, as well as to the American Bank-note
| Company.
