SIR propose giving the public q
brief sketch Of an invention through
the mediums Of your paper, provided
you deem il worthy your notice and
$si.s Insertion Sean oplygivelassy
nopsis Of thef details in general,
which are contained in manuscript, a
few of which have issued, they he
ing of such prolixsty as would not
allow a request Of being published in
a single issue. 7 hope ere the sum
mer'closes to be able'to have a num-
Der of said manuscripts sent out,
that, by extending the copies from
one TO another after perusal the
greater number OF individuals will
have seen the manuscript in full. I
claim this invention TO ho entirely
original and OF such practical utility,
as to bar all and every comment by
any who may claim skepticism. IT
will be remembered that I hazarded
to make q public exhibit of this same
discovery whilst in. its incipiencency,
and that, top, to q very limited ex-
tent at. our County Fair three years
ago next October. ! had then only
reached the first parallel; creating u
perpetual motion, lit is true but that
motion simply gained admiration
without the first redeeming step to-
ward the purpose in view. Since then
7 have practically accomplished :he
desired object, and hope TO have an
opportunity at our next County Fair
to prove to the committees and the
public generally that have dcyotcd
three years and six months exclusive
ly to- the accomplishment Of that
whi,h would benefit my fellow man!
This "Farm Water Power" which
I claim to have inyented. can be at
tache9 to any farm which has upon
it a clubhouse fer the nominal sum Of
fifty dollars, exclusive of the individ
ual right, which attn cost of fifteen
dollars, giving 4 power which will
drive any machinery which the farm
would require for the sum total Of
sixty-fve dollars.
I have in connection with my mo-
del twelve separate and distinct ma
chimes, from which the farmer could
select that which this motor power
will work to the greatest perfection,
and will accomplish as much on eth
er one of them in the same length of
time as any ordinary steam engine,
such as are generally used for sta
tionary farm purposes. These seve-
raj machines are so arranged in con-
nection with the motive power SO as
to be worked separately or collective
ly, subject entirely to the control of
the miller. I would here state that
the entiee mill does not require the
attention Of hnt one man, only, dnr-
ing the ginning and packing season.
This "Farm Water Power" can he
utilized tue world over Gas well adap-
ted to the grain as the cotton grow
ing regions) with but little cost and
free from disaster and arrangement,
as 10 its motor power.
It is we'll known that, when the
farmer has to send to n toll mill the
whole years grinding, pounding and
ginning that the toll consumes the
one-twelfth of his crop. or late the
rates Of toll have been somewhat
lessened, but not sufficiently so as to
prevent the farmer from making use
of such means as are within the
reach Of the humblest to keep within
himself this y! annual tag.
would say to those who have gin
houses and would like to procure this
motor power, that | have a model in
as perlect WoiKlng order rs any ma
chine extant, and would he pleased
to exhibit it to any one who would
like to see its perfection. / will state
in connection that the number of
machines operated by this power,
have been added simply to show
what kind OF machine would be best
adapted to the motor power.
:. Thirty years ago we all hooted at
the idea Of transmitting messages
thousands of miles in moments
time, but as soon as we were con-
vinced Of the reality Of such trans
mission, oh hoy simple. Well, suf-
