Augusta, Ga., April 3, 1855. 
I have been running one of Scott’s Little Giant Corn and 
Cob Mills. No. 4, for the last nve weeks, and it performs to my 
ftntire satisfaction. It w'as wairauted to grind 20 bushels per hour, 
but I have ground over 35 bushels in an hour and a half, or equal to 
bushels per hour. In feeding 30 horses, I save at least 100 
bushels of Corn per month, it now requiring only 200 bushels of 
Corn with the Cob, where I fonuerly fed 300. I consider it decid- 
edly the best kind of Crusher ever got up, and if I could not re- 
place mine I would not sell it for $500.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS. 
riMIE RICHMOND FACTORY (Richmond county, Ga.,) enn- 
X tinues to MANUFACTURE WOOLEN CLOTH, for Negro 
Clothing, at 124- cents per yard — ffiidiug ever material except the 
wool. 
Those wishmg to avail themselves of this opportunity to procure 
for their Negroes a superior article of Winter Clothing, have only 
to wash the wool clean in cold water, and .send it to the factory, or 
to Mes.srs Flemming, Clemence& Co., in Augusta, with instruc- 
tions as to the amount of Cloth they wish made — whether heavy or 
light. If the wool be dirty, half a cent per yard will he charged for 
wa.sliiug it. Burrs are not objectionable, as a machine is jirovidod 
for removing them. 
Wool is also carded in Rolls, for those who make their Negro, or 
other Clotliing at home. 
3’he terms now offered ai-e so rcasonahle as to warrant a continu- 
ance of the liberal patronage heretofore extended by the planting 
community. 
The Wool should he sent as soon after shearing as convenient, with 
the name of the owner distinctly marked on the hag or bale, that 
all the patrons of the establishment may he accommodated in due 
time. 
Woolsentbyany of the lines of Railroad, in Georgia or South 
Caroima, or by steamboat on the River, directed to “Richmond 
Factory, care of FLEMMING, Clemence & Co.,” will meet due at 
tention, and the Planter will always have his own wool manufac- 
tured in Cloth and returned to him. 
K^The highest cash prices will he paid for WOOL.
