THE COMING Pow-woWs WITH TIE lNplANs-A St.
Louis dispatch of the 8th has the following in rela-
ton to Injun" pow-wows;
Great expectations entertained of the pow vows

Platte on the 18th of September, and on the Arkan-

BILLIONS PATENT
COTTON HE
IRON HOOPS.

fgHH1s TIE, with the HOOP, complete, weighs no
L more than the usual rope used in baling cotton
and renders allowance for tare unnecessary. It is
the only Tie requiring no slack while putting on and
perfect that the necessity for heavy hoops to make
up for deficiencies in the Tie, is entirely obviated In
this Tie the hoop bears evenly its whole width
thus taking advantage of the entire strength of the
iron. and there thin edges sharp corners to
cut the hoop. 1t cannot be put wrong, and does
not require over onefourh of inch slack to admit
of inserting the pin.
By using the " UNIVERSAL TIE" planters can
avoid the trequeatloss of Cotton from broken bales
also heavy mending bills, which result from imperfect
ties and missing ropes.
The following letter. addressed to the agents of the
maker, at Savannah Ga, by gentleman who has used
over twenty thousand is sufficient evidence of the
timuton in which these Ties are held:
OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL COTToN Press,

Messrs. F. W. Sims Il CO., Agents for Dillons Uni
versal Tie Savannah!
Dear SnS--In my business of COMPRISING Cotton,
have had occasion to examine closely all the various
Ties for iron bands used in baing Cotton, and take
pleasure in testifng to the superiority, all 9th
es of the " Universal Tie 1t is as easily adjus ted
and is MUCH STRONGER than any other Tie.
Tie that is not good the Press is not good at the
plantation, nearly all the Cotton is compressed at
the ports, and weak Tie must then BIZ replaced by
good one, at the expense of the planter; have
of your Ties break, though l;pltched bale
of Cotton secured by them out of sec0d story to the
ground, without any break to the fall. !
Under these circumstance unheStt tngly recon-
mend the Universal Tie to every plaker combn-
ing the greatest simplicity with led strength.
S.W. WiGHT,
Manager Central Cotton Press CT, Savannah
In New York, this tie is much preferf3a to any other
The Fire Insurance Companies Of that tty have given
this Tie a decided preference othfs by nsuring
Cotton with the Universal Tie at ssh less than the
regular rate. They assert that many oA the other Ties
no better than rope, as they have4 aroved in the
many fres,taking place III New York
