GRAPE CULTHFiS AND WINE. 
P ERSONS desirous cf planting vineyards are respectfully in- 
formed that the undersigned are prepared to enter into Con- 
tracts at such rates as ought to induce every Planter and Farmer 
to experiment with a few acres ; being convinced from observa- 
tion of experiments already made that Northern Georgia, Ala- 
bama, and East Tennessee, are better adapted to the Grape than 
any portions of the United States, the Great Valley of the Ohio not 
excepted. 
The cultivation of the Grape, and the making of "Wine has been 
our occupation from early childhood, our parents having extensive 
vineyards of their own in Germany. This gives us a practical ex- 
perience, which authorises us to say that satisfaction in all cases 
will be guaranteed, and success warranted. 
We respectfully refer the public to H. W. Massengale. Chatta- 
nooga, Tenn.; X. G. McFarland, Rossville, Walker county, Ga.; 
Isaac B. Nichols, Opelika, Catoosa county, Ga., and W. F. W. 
Fischer, Dalton, Ga.; Mr. Fischer’s Vineyard was planted by us, 
and being on the Railroad, we invite persons to call and examine 
for themselves. 
We have for sale, as well as to plant, a large quantity of 
Catawba CUTTINGS, and upwards of 40,000 Rooted VINES, 
which will mature one year earlier than the cuttings. We solicit 
a share of public patronage, and will deliver either rooted 
vines or cuttings, during the planting season, at Chattanooga or 
Knoxville, Tenn.; Dalton, R :)me, Atlanta or Augusta, Ga.

TO COTTON PLANTERS. 
T he Subscriber has thoroughly tried at Macon and Columbus, 
Georgia, his wrought Iron COTTON SCREW, where two of 
them are now standing and will remain until October for inspection. 
I believe it is the cheapest, by half, ever offered for the purpose of 
pressing cotton or hay, as the frame, screw-pin, and levers are all 
of wrought-iron. It should be attached to the gin-house, and have 
it put up through the floor, as the ordinary press — the levers being 
only five feet in length— to have the widt.i of the house and 18 or 
20 feet in length, the lint could then ne placed all around the 
screw. Then a man can take five hands and pack as many five 
hundred pound bales in 0 }n; day, with as little labor to the hand, as 
the same five and tv^ o more, with a horse, can on the wood-screw 
in the same time. Three hands can put up one and take it down, 
and it can be carried at one load with four mules to any point. As 
this is for the pubbe ej’e,! will give the amount of timber necessary 
for comuleting one

This makes a box near nine feet deep with bed and follower, and 
all other fixtures. Ifm’nishthe iren and the work done on it at 
Macon and put th3 above lumber to it at the place whore it is want- 
ed, the purchaser, furnishing the lumber and paying the freight 
from Macon, can have one of the handiest and cheapest Cotton 
Screws now known, its durability considered, as it is given up by 
all who have seen it to be a lifetime investment. I can pack 500 
pounds with three hands — take five hands and there is no hard 
work done. Price $150 this year. 
I expect, if life lasts, to have one at the next State Fail’, and 
would be glad to see one of every other pattern of presses now 
in use there, and let the world judge for itself. I then expect to 
sell the right in any size territory that may be desmed on reason- 
able terms, with a working model, within the limits of such coun- 
ty or counties, and all the infoi’mation necessary for putting them 
up and working them. Address JAMES MASSEY.
