PATENT DOUBLE RIB GIN.

I HAVE invented and obtained letters patent for
/ q Double-chilled Reversing Rib for Cotton
Gins. which will manufacture at Cofon Valley,
Macon county, Alabama.
The advantage of my Improvement the Cotton
Gin Rib, consists in making them pie SO as
to do double service. Each half OF m proved
Rib is made with the same curve, and Two ends
are of the same size and shape; so that whcn one
end il worn out and becomes unit ior use, the
farmer can take them off HIMSELF reverse ana re-
place them again, and make them do double the
service of these heretofore used. II Will save the
farmer the trouble aud expense OF Transporting his
Cotton gin to some factory and procuring new
set of Ribs Any one can take them OH and re-
place them again. All that it requires Is take out
the screws and run them back again, and thea you
will have new set Of Ribs.
Ny Improved Rib win not be very popular with
gin.makers in general, for they say that the gins
last too long Some have acknowled that it is
superior to any Rib they have ever seem 1t is the
farmer that l want to please, and If ne will give
me q trial, will certainly do it. With twelve
years experience, fatter myself that can make
as good gin as any one; and with my improve
E,ent, l know that can make them last ohe-third
longer, without any expense for repairing. All
that ask is to give me trial. Persons Wishing
to buy INV Double Rib Gin, will please order them,
for it will be impossible for agents to call on ALL
will deliver Gins at our Factory, for Two Dollars
per saw.
~ Particular attention given to Repair'ng.

The Girls and the Wives.

Somebody has written the following about the
girls and set it adoat:
God bless the girls,
Whose golden curis
Blend with our evening dreams
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives,
Or-as naiads haunt the streams
They soothe our pains,
They gil our brains
With dreams Of summer hours:
God bless the girls
God bless their curTs,
God bless our human flowers
The wives. We think, are quite as deserving Of q
blessing as the'girls, therefore we submit the fol-
lowing;
God bless the wives
They ill our hives
with little bees and honey;
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks,
But-dont they spend the money:
When we are sick
They heal us quick
That is, If they should loycus;
If not, we die
And yet they cry,
Ahd place tombstones above u
Of rosuish girls,
With suLny curls,
We may In fancy dream;
But wives-truc wivcs--
Throughout our lives,
Are crything they seem.
