THE BelIville Times of Saturday
last publishes call for a railroad
meeting to be held on the 18th inst.
The call is signed by number of
the most influential citizens OF
Bellville, and the object of the
meeting is to endeavor to secure
the passage through that town of
the Taylor Bastrop & H6aston
railway. Tho citizens of Bellville
are in earnest and mean business.
The citizens of Brennan may as
well Understand now as In the fu-
ture, that the construction of the
Taylor, Bastrop & Houston rail-
way through Bellville will not
have a tendency to improve the
business interests of Brennan.
We should by all means secure the
Arkansas Pass railway.

An Automatic Gin and Compress.

The extent to which human ingen
uity is being carried is something
wonderful. and so far there appears
TO be no limit. Mr.. J. Henry Putnam.
an extensive sugar maker, whose
plantation lies some four miles from
our town, has erected a cotton gin
which is verify a curiosity to the
natives. The loaded wagon is driven
on a pair of scales and the weight
taken, after which, in from five to
ten minutes, the entire load Of cotton
has disappeared, and you have but
to weigh the wagon to find ont the
net weight of the cotton. The ap-
parent magic is simple enough when
one sees it but it took a long time
for the world to make The discovery.
The apparatus consists of an air.
tight tube, or cylinder, hanging oat
over the margin, through Which 4
strong current Of air is forced by
mean Of a rapidly revolving wheel,
working within an iron casing, by
which means a suction is generated
sufficiently to draw up the cotton
and drive it into the stall to which
the end Of the tube il directed.
From the stall another tube. worked
in the same way, takes the cotton
and passes it through a feeder, when
it is dropped into the gins. After.
wards the lint cotton is placed in q
s~clf'feeding and packing press. and
your bale comes out ready to ship
ment, whilst the seed are also drop
ped in sacks. and With q small
amount Of labor, in the way of sew
ing the ends, r also ready to bt
handled. The whole thing is &
curiosity and worth making a tril
to sec. We delight to chronicle suel
evidences OF improvement i'll oui
country, and are happy to cay tina
Sir. Putnam is one Of our most en-
ergrtic farmers. and we wish him a.
almast unlimited need Of success.
