The Brown House is one of the established
and popular institutions of the city of Macon, and
liberally was it patronized during the Agricultural
Convention, last week, and very handsomely did
it sustain its well-earned reputation, as a good
house. Though the establishment is under the
management of the sons of the old proprietor, yet
he may be seen moving about where attention is
needed. It is quite evident that W. F. Brown &
Go., are accumulating a large fortune, and it is
’equally evident that they work for it, and are
worthy of it. They attend to their own business.

thanks to the Editor and Proprietor of the Intel
ligencer of this city: The Georgia Medical
Companion.— The second number of this valua
ble medical journal has just been issued from the
“Franklin Steam Printing House” of J. J. Toon.
It would be superfluous for us to speak of its ty
pographical execution. So far as we are capable
of jucfging, we have no hesitancy in saying that
no abler conducted medical journal has ever been
issued from tlie press. The editors, Drs. Powell
and Goldsmith, are gentlemen of honor and ac
knowledged abilities throughout the country.
Dr. Powell was the editor of the “ Ladies’ Home,”
a literary periodical, which was greatly admired
by all of the literary characters of its day. We
most cheerfully recommend this new medical
journal to the profession of the entire country, as
possessing qualifications of rare taste and genius.

Steel Engraving—24 by 33 inches—Christ
Blessing Little Children.
From the renowned painting of Sir Charles
Locke Eastlake, President of the Royal Academy
of London. Engraved by Samuel Sartain, Phila
delphia. Price, $5. The same, smaller size, $2.50.
The Index offers to give one copy of the large
engraving named above, to any student of the
Bible 16 years of age or under, who will, of them
selves, furnish the best written sketch of 'the life
of Christ, gathered alone from the Scriptures.
Said sketch must be addressed to the publisher of
this paper, who will submit it to a committee of
competent readers for examination. Each con
testant will be expected to furnish some reference
as to authorship.
For the article second in merit, a smaller engra
ving will be given. Propositions to close by
March Ist. Articles must be sent in before that
date. “Christ Stilling the Tempest” will be of
fered in our next issue.
We have received but one Sketch of the Life
of Christ under this proposition. It was written
by a little Sunday school girl, fourteen years of
age. To give further opportunity for competition,
we now extend the time until the meeting of tlie
Georgia Baptist Convention in April. Let the
children write.
A Distinguished, Practical and Scientific
Planter, in an address to an Agricultural Socie
ty, makes use of this forcible language: “It is, I
think, obvious to every one, who thinks on the
subject, that fertilizers are now a necessity for this
country. The system of planting hitherto pur
sued, of exhausting the ground and returning
nothing to it, has necessitated a change in this di
rection, and more especially is this necessary, if
we are to get the highest yield from our lands of
of which they are capable.” This is Truth. Then
it becomes important to the Farmer that be should
buy the best and cheapest fertilizer. Read the
advertisement of the Langdon Fertilizer in an
other column. ,

THERE CERTAINLY' CANNOT BE FOUND A BET

Boston, Mass., Fes. 18, 1869.
Messrs. P. Davis <t Son : Gentlemen—The package of
Allen’s Lung Balsam you sent me to use among the
afflicted poor in my city’ missionary work, has proved
very acceptable and useful. It has gone into several
families, and with remarkable effect iu every instance.
One woman has been restored from what her physi
cian pronounced consumption, after several months
sickness with cough, great pain in the lungs and pros
tration, so that she is able now to do housework and
assist iu the support of her family, aud with care and
continued use of the Balsam, she expects entire resto
ration.
Another person, a young woman, to whom 1 gave
one bottle, has received great benefit, so that her cough,
which was of months’ standing, is getting better, and
she has purchased tho second bottle, and has every in
dication of a speedy cure.
A young man who was raising blood, and quite weak
and sick, has, by the use of two bottles, been much im
proved, and is able to do a little at his work.
A young man to whom I recommended a trial of it,
who has had a bad cough, and much pain in his lungs,
for mouths past, and unable to get rest or sleep, has
commenced taking it, and is now using the fourth bot
tle with great benefit. He said to me, on a recent visit,
he would not do without it. lie is hoping-and rea
sonably, it seems to mo—to be able to resume his work
again.
Very respectfully and gratefully, yours,

MERCER UNIVERSITY.
The public have already been informed through
the newspapers, that, owing to technical difficulties in
the way of the removal of the University from Penfield
to Macon, the exercises of the Institution have been
temporarily sespended. During the interim, the I ac
uity propose to give the same instruction as heretofore,
on their own account, in the city of Macon. The con
tinuity of the course of instruction will thus be unin
terrupted; the instructors will be the same; the instruc
tion will be the same; the integrity of the old classes
will be preserved; the entire organization will be un
changed ; Commencement exercises will bo heldas usual,
in July, and the practical result, to the students, will
be precisely the same as if the exercises of the Univer
sity had not been suspended. When the removal of the
University to Macon is accomplished, the Faculty will
resume their official relations to it. In the meantime,
as the Faculty are dependent on their own exertions for
the success ot ihe pi esent enterprise, they have personal
as well as other reasons for soliciting the patronage of
their triends and the public. Whatever advantages of
instruction were ever afforded at Mercer University, are
now held forth. New apparatus, for the illustration of
the Natural Sciences, will be purchased, far superior to
that heretofore in use by the University. Rooms have
been engaged, not Very imposing iu outside appearance,
but they are commodious, perfectly, comtortable and
quite as well adapted to our purposes as the rooms we
left in Peutield. These rooms are in the second story,
over Johnston’s jewelry store, a few steps distant from
the Lanier House, and on the opposite corner from the
new Court House, now in process of erection. The
first Term will open on Wednesday, the Ist day of Feb
ruary. The rate of tuition, payable in advance, will
be at the rate of One Hundred Dollars per Collegiate
year. Sons of ministers will receive tuition gratis, as
heretofore. The price of board (for the table) in Macon
varies from #2O to $25 per month. Lodging and other
expenses, from $5 to $lO per month.
Students will be received at any time.
Special attention will be given to the instruction
of irregulars, and instruction will be given in any
branch ofi science or art usually taught in Institutions oj
the highest grade, and the students will be allowed to se
lect such branches as their parents or guardians may
prefer.
Those who desire further information, may examine

men, ihese are here given :
Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dec. 22nd, 1870.
Col. W. D. Mann: Sir-Your Circular of the Ist
inst. came to hand. As we found the Langdon Fertii
izer the best that we tried, I give you my experience
with it. Our laud is poor, red hill land. Used 200 lbs.
to the acre. We used one ton of Gillam’s, at $75;
three tpus of Zell’s, at SBS per ton; two tons of The
Langdon, at SOO per ton. The land was all worked
alike, and the same quantity used of each. I did
keep the weights of each field separate, but attended
the picking and weighing myself, and know that the 1 °
was more cotton gathered to the acre on the Langdo
than any other part of the place. The Zell’s was next
From my own experience, and in the opiuion of a*
farmers who took notice of it, tho Langdon Fertilize*
was far superior to any that we used.
Respectfully yours, &c., C. H. Fitts.
Mr. Thomas H. Kennedy, of Meridian, Miss., after
recounting his experience in the use of the Langdon
Fertilizer, says: “When I lived on my plantation in
Alabama, I used many kinds of manure, but I never used
anything that would begin to compare with the Laug
don Fertilizer.”
TIIE PRICE AT THE MILLS IS SSO PER TON,
in five ton lots; $55 for a single ton; $3 per 100 lbs.,
for small lots.
It is exchanged for Cotton Seed, 300 pounds, in strong
sucks, delivered free on board boat or cars ut Mobile,
for one ton Cotton Seed, free at the landing or depot
up country—sacks and twine lurnished by the Mills.
Os its cheapness, Col. Langdon says: “ Its cheapness
—I am fully convinced that, at the price now fixed by
you, to-wit: SOO per ton, (since reduced to $55,) it is
much the cheapest fertilizer in our market. Pound for
pound, I consider it more valuable than the prepara
tions that are selling ut $75 to SBO. For my own use, I
would greatly prefer it to Peruvian Guano at the same
price.” Os its merits, he says: “ The result is the best
Fertilizer in tho world for our Southern lands, in my
opinion.
Again : “ It contains more fully and completely than
any other, the elements necessary for the production of
Southern crops and the renovation ot Southern soil.
Prof. Chas. U. Shepard, Jr., M.D., Professor of
Chemistry, South Carolina Medical College, and In
spector of Fertilizers for South Carolina, who made a
full and careful analysis of the Langdon Fertilizer, says
of it: “Itis a very superior article.”
I also crush at the Mills, Raw Boues, which are
ground fine. Price at the Alills, $45 per ton. Ground
Haw Bone is too well known as a strong Fertilizer to
need comment. For Trees, Shrubbeuy and Grapes, it
has no equal. The Ground Boue of the Mobile Oil
Mills is warranted to contain nothing but Bone.
