YOUNG'S IMPROVED PATENT
SMUT AND SCREENING MACHINE.
The only Machine of the kind that has stood the lest and
given satisfaction to the public. It has surplan'ed every
Smut Ma'chine yet offered in the State, more or less of
which has been taken down to make room lor it. The
public need fear no imposition, as there are now some 280
Machines running in N. C: and I wish to offer no other
references than the gentlemen who are using them,
whose expectations nave been more than realized in
their performance. It not only iboroughly cleanses the
Wheat of smut, but also purifies it of all other substances,
almost to perfection. It takes up but 4 feet square in
the Mill, and requires but little power. It is warranted
fur five years against breaking or wearing out, and also
to retain its cleaning qualities tor that time.
There are a number of these Machines through which
100,000 bushels oi Wheat have been cleaned, and they
have never been nut of order one day.

of healthy persons and Slaves, at their established

Company in the State, and working under a charter suit
ed to the condition and circumstances of all, the Direc

inducements for the insurance of lives than any other
Company in the country. s
The 5th Sec. of the Charter provides" That the husband
may insure his own life, for the sole use and benefit of
his wife or children, free from the claims of the repre
sentatives of the husband or any of his creditors."
It is conducted on the mutual plan, each person in
sured becoming a member thereof, and not liable beyond
the amount of bis premium.
Policies for $100 to $5000 "will be issued on the life
of a white person ; and on Slaves for two-thirds their
market value, for a term of from one to five years, as
the owner may desire.
All losses of the Company are paid within 90 days af
ter proof of loss is furnished. No California risks taken.
The business of the Company is conducted under the
I immediate supervision of
