Mr.. D. Schwem's steam Gin and Press
are now in fine running order, and we ad-
wise all who have seed cotton to prepare
for market to remember this fact and
bring it to him. His gin is of the Daniel
Pratt manufacture, including the
patented feeder and condenser and all of
the modern improvements, and is capable
of turning out ten bales of lint cotton per
day. One most important consideration
about it is the thorough manner in which
it cleans the lint from the seed, thus saw
ing to the farmer many pounds OF cotton
that are ordinarily lost. All farmers in
the vicinity of Brookhaven will find it to
their advantage to give Mr.. Schwem
trial.
Miss Bannie Allen has returned from
Summit and resumed her old position as
night operator at this place. 1t is an
item worthy of note that the Brookhaven
telegraph office is managed entirely by
ladies, Miss Addie Harvey having for
years filled the position of day operator,
and we venture the assertion that no
place in the State has more efficient
Geographic service. Miss Addie and
Miss Bannie are both adopts in the art OF
telegraphy, thoroughly responsible, and
are able to readily decipher any thing
from the hieroglyphics of the Editor OF
THE LEADER to the finest copper plate.
They are always pleasant aud obliging to
