vited to read Capt. G, ID. Bustamante's new
advertisement, on our fourth page, to- day
1t will be seen that the engines represented
by him-the . Erie City aud the = Skin
ner''-took both of the premiums awarded
upon steam engines at our last State Fair, an
endorsement of no ordinary value in decidr
ing purchasers in making choice. Capt.
Bustamante continues. also, to sell the cele-
brated J. G. Hoadley Portable Engine, the
best engine made il America, and which be
has successfully introduced in seventeen
counties in Mississippi within the last thre Q
years. As an indication of the estimate
placed upon the engines sold by him, he
has received fifteen letters for steam engines
in that number of days, from various por
lions of Mississippi, from New Orleans,
from Memphis, from Red River la J, from
Alabama, and one from as far distant "a
Georgia. This is no puff, for we saw the
letters ourSelves-and we are pleased to re-
cord it as an evidence of the enterprise of
one of our business men. Besides the above
named engines, Capt. Bustamante will fill
orders for any make of engines, for saw
mills, threshing machines, reapers, mowers,
Straub mills rice hullers, turbine wheels
in short, any kind of a machine desired /;
and sell at lowest prices and deliver from
here, ar, direct from factory to the buyer.
From his long experience in the business
he knows exactly what the country re-
quires. See him, or write him for what
machinery you-want
