Dear Sir: The first section of the

sary to the exercise of your franchise as a

scented thereto by a compact mutually

No such compact having been made

The trial of Agricultural Implement
in front of Capt. Chamberla;n's ware
house On "Wednesday evening. was
highly satisfactory. Mr. Stafford, the
inventor of tie Stafford Cultivator, iu
the presence of large crowd, first
broke up the ground with Sattley's
Gang plough. BE next bedded it up
with the Stafford Cultivator. Tun-
nards cotton and corn planters were
called into requisition, and in less than
a half an hour field in miniature had
been prepared aud planted in our chief
crops. The superiority OF the work
was acknowledged by some of our
Oldest and best planters. The works
are simple and can be mastered by any
intelligent person in a few minutes.
They are not only used in the prepara-
ton of the soil, but in cultivation.
The Cultivator is admirably adapt
ed to corn and cotton for first and
second working, as it throws the dirt
to the ridge on both sides at the same
time-bracing up the plant instead Of
knocking it down as in the old plan.
They are no doubt labor saving ma
chimes, and our planters should look
we'll into their merits. Ono man aud
two mules with the plough or culti--
vator can do the work of two men and
four mules in the ordinary way.
The unparalleled success of both
implements in the Northern and Wes-
tern States should commend them to
fair and impartial trial.
A few cultiyators were purchased
in this section last year and as far as
We can learn have been pronounced
servicable, useful and labor-s saving.
Mr., Stafford is stopping at Capt.
Chamberlain's, and will cheerfully ex-
hlolt and explain to inquirers all their
uses and adaptations. The implements,
together with every other kind of ma
chlnery and tool can be had OF T. B.
bodley & Co., New Orleans. Orders
through Capt. Chamberlain or mer-
chants in New Orleans will be promptly
filed.
The price of the Gang plough is
$50 90; Cultivator $75 90. !

Our business men and advertisers
must certainly feel edited by that edi-

think Of it. it is positive injury to your
business to advertise in the Intelligent

more advertisements, while the TELE-

Our friends to save"
The dance commenced early, and
what excelleut music needed to keep
away WEAKNESS was supplied by va
rie'y of strengthening liquids and
choice edibles. Morning had advanced
aye 3 o'clock had been indicated on
tho face of the Great Dial before the
fair jewellers could be induced to leave
a scene so gay.
Flremen, we congratulate yon upon
your success.
