WOOL CARDING MACHINE
The subscriber has in complete operation at A.D. Murphy's mills, 
on Haw-River in this county, a pair of machines for carding wool
into rolls.  The machines are new, and the cards of a superior quality.
It is necessary that wool brought to these machines should be free 
from burs and other hard substances, as they injure the cards.  It
should also be washed clean of dirt, and one pound of clean grease
should be added to every ten or twelve pounds of wool.  A sufficiency
of tow or linen sheets (not woolen) should be brought to put the rolls in.
Merino wool can be carded, if those who have it will prepare it in the
following manner.  Take rain or river water, boil it, to which add at 
equal quantity of cold urine: stir the wool in this until the grease is
extracted from the body of the wool and rises to the top, then take it
out, rinse it in clear water, dry it, and it is ready for carding.  The same
preparation will do for the next and succeeding parcels.  If the above
directions cannot be attended to (which is best), wash the wool
well in a strong soap suds.  Work cannot be well done unless these
directions are observed.
The advertise of a never failing stream will enable me to accommodate
all who may favour me with their custom.  Customers from a distance
shall meet with dispatch, and every exertion will be used to have
the work well done and expeditiously.

NOTICE
Being at all times solicitious to pay my just debts, under the sanction of
the wise and humane laws of my country, and being ever pained at the
recurrence of the idea that my merciful creditors may think themselves
likely to be aggrieved by any default on my part,  I particularly desire 
Misters[?] Thomas Ruffin, Abner B. Bruce, Josiah Turner, Herbert Sims,
John Carrington, Thomas Reyes[?], and ---------[sic] Rancher (former
sheriff of Wake county), to take notice, that I shall attend, on the 10th day
of August next, between the hours of ten and twelve o'clock, A.M., at
the Hillsborough jail, in Orange county, at the door of the debtors' room
therein, for the purpose of availing myself of the benefit of the law made
for the relief of insolvent debters; when and where the above named
gentlemen, at whose instance I am incarcerated by virtue of a ca. sa. from
the Superior Court of Orange, may attend and show cause to the contrary,
if they think proper.
