Gentlemen: saw your Murray Gin

our State Fair, held here this fall, and
can recommend it to those who may want
to buy improved ginning outfits The at
tachment for separating the leaf and dirt
from the cotton before it reaches the gin
saws did its work well, and is a saving
to the gin saws and brushes. This sys-
tenn will no doubt receive the endorsement
of our cotton mills, as it is important
for them to have their cotton cleaned wen
at the gin. Your exhibit was a very
creditable one, indeed

have no doubt heard of Charlotte as a
great manufacturing centre. Well, with
out intending it as in any way boast,
but merely to show that we have the
capacity and skill to do good work, we
make the assertion that we have the lar

tory of any kind in Charlotte or Meek
