If you waut. the best gin you have ever
used, buy
THE EXCELSIOR GIN!
Patented and Manufactured by O. W. Mas-sey,
Macon, Georgia.
This Gin has been before the public since
571, aud has given universal satisfaction
herever tried. I have sent but few to your
State up to this time, but those few have
given perfect satisfaction. The Excelsior
runs light, gins fast, picks the seed clean,
and makes n nice sample of cotton. It is
simple in construction; any one large enough
to put the cotton in the roll box can
feed it all day and not brake the roll. No
shaking the box or using a stick to keep the
roll going—no necessity for a self-feeder. I
am fearful they will not feed my gins as fast
as I would like, still they will do as well on
my gius as on any other. The faster the
gin is fed, in reason, if you have the power
to drive it, the better. I can feed this gin
fast enough to stall a common team, and
still not brake the roll. Of course, this I do
not advise. The gin is so constructed that
the saws have a new surface of cotton every
revolution of the roll of cotton. These gins
are of the best material and warranted in
every respect. I have an experience of
forty odd years. I built the first gins Mr. D.
Pratt ever sold, and I believe this to be the
best gin for any and everybody to use, I
eyer saw. That you may have an opportu-nity
of buying this gin, 1 have appointed
the following agents in your State, through
whom you can order, and to enable me to
fill orders promptly, please send them in
early,

SAVE YOUR COTTON!
THE
Texas Cotton Worm Destroyer
will enable you to do so !
ll is a poison which can he applied to all
parts of the plant on which the worm feeds.
It is an article that will in no way injure
the plant nor spoil the staple in the open
boll.
It is cheap—the cost being only.
Twenty-Five Cents per Acre !
for one application which will effectually
destroy the worms.
It is used in liquid form, and all that has
to be done, is t.o stir four ounces of the mix-ture
into forty gallons of cold water,aud ap-ply
it to an acre of cotton with a common
watering pot, or what will be found better,
the Fountain Pump; which will save its cost
very soon by the increased facility with
which the work can be done.
The pump will be found a most useful ar-tide
in every household, and can be used
for all the purposes of a portable pump,
sprinkler, &c., and will be furnished by us at
manufacturers’ prices.

The War on the Plains—Col. Mer-ritt’s
Report — Interesting
Particulars -Attitude
of the Indians.
Report of a Fight by Crook witli
the Savages.
Chicago, July 20.—The following
official teport of Col. Merritt was re-ceived
at the military headquarters to-day:
Red (Loud Agency, July 18, via Ft.
Laramie.—As indicated in my dispatch,
I moved by forced marches to the
main nortli-westeru trail, at Indian
Creek, in thirty five hours. My com-mand
made about seventy-five miles,
reaching the trail Sunday evening
about 9 o’clock. The trail showed
that no large parties had passed north.
At day light yesterday morning I sad-died
up to move on the trail toward
the Agency, but at the same time a
party of seven Indians were discovered
near the command, moving witli the
intention of cutting off twd couriers,
who were approaching Sage Creek. A
party was sent out, killing one of
them. The command then moved af-ter
the other Indians and pursued, but
they escaped, leaving four lodges aud
several hundred pounds of provisions
behind. After scouring the country
thoroughly in our vicinity, we moved
towards the Agency. At a distance of
twenty-five miles to the north-west of
the Agency, the Indians broke camp
and fled, and we did not succeed in
catching any of them. The trail was
much worn and the indication was that
hundreds of Indians were driven in by
our movements. From repeated re-ports,
which I cannot give in this dis-patch,
I was certain of striking the
Cheyennes. To accomplish this, I
marched hard, taking the infantry to
guard the wagons and fight if neces-sary.
The reports from this place led
me to believe that many Sioux warriors
were wilh the Cheyennes. I am now
satisfied that tlie numbers of Indians
leaving the Agency are exaggerated in
the report, and I am cert ain that not a
hundred Indians, or rather ponies, all
told, have gone north in the main
trails in the last ten days. The Chey-ennes
whom we drove in yesterday,
U ok refuge in the res rvation toward
Spotted Tail. If they leave again, I
think it will he to > o south of the
Agencies, as they seem to be thorough-ly
frightened out of their northern trip.
Our appearance on Indian and Hot
Creeks was a complete surprise to the
Indians in that vicinity; but those far-ther
in, we are informed, got out of
the way.
I just received your dispatches of
the 15th. I will move without delay
to Fort Laramie, as soon as it is possi-hie
to move, to join Crook. Mv men
and horses are tired out. A few days’
reasonable marching, with full forage,
will make them all right.
Cheyenne, July 18.—Capt. Eagan,
witli his company, left Fort Laramie,
to hunt down three Indians, who were
seen twelve miles below that Fort.
A man named Foy, at Sidney, from
Red Cloud, reports that an Indian
named Lamender came into the Agency
on Friday and reported that Crook had
a fight with the Indians, losing many
men.

eugrosseed bill, simply providing that
the President shall maintain two full
regiments of cavalry on the border,
with sufficient infantry for garrison
duty, has been called, and the vote is

questions.
A motion to reconsider the vote by
which the reading of the bill was or-dered,
was negaliyed, and the hill will

to follow the marauders into
Mexico is refpsed.

meet twice a month, and after the reg-ular
course of business, spend the re-mainder
of the evening in social con-verse.
At our last meeting our by-laws were
changed so as to meet on the first Sat-urday
in each month, at 9 o’clock a.
iff., and on the third Saturday, at 1
o’clock p. m. Wi p , jse to make a
“ liver” Grange during the summer and
fall than heretofore. I am sorry to
say that some of our members have
been'rather delinquent in attendance,
hut they promise to do better in fu-ture.
We have taken stock in the Texas
State Grange Manufacturing Company,
at Jefferson, and propose to order such
articles as they manutacture, that we
may need, aud thereby patronize and
support home manufactures. This we
think every Grange in the State should
do. One great cause of the
Granges not receiving the benefits
that they expected when they
founded it, may be found in
their carelesness, and in not devoting
some of their time to reading some
good Grange paper. If we make the
Order a complete success, we must
make a long pull, a strong pull, and a
puli all together. Whenever we do
this then we will be greatly benefited
by the noble Order, and not before.
Co-operating together we could obtain
redui I rates to ship our corn, cotton,
whe- id oats, and thereby save a
con: able sum in the way ot freight,
bu „ead of doing this we must still
sii ,ie same old song. A direct line
ol dipping has been completed from
N v Orleans to London, at a much
> or rate than we had to pay before,
u : we will not patronize it, we do not
try to he benelitted, by the institution.
Let us do better in the future and
make amends for the past.
The prospects for a corn crop was
never better. Cottton also looks well.
Some seem to think that it will go to
weed too much.
We had the hardest ram last Satur-day
morning, the 1st inst., that has
fallen this year.
Perhaps I had better close this al-ready
leDgthy communication. If you
desire I will write to you occasionally,
giving you such items of news as I
think will be of interest to your many
readers.
Fraternally yours,
Under Twenty -Five.
