The Book-Binding Department of the Frank lin Book, News and Job Printing House, was an important and very essential part of the Estab tISHMENT, as originally organized in this city in 1800. It has been in active and successful opera tion from the date of organization to the present, and is now fully equipped for active service. Fully prepared with an ample stock of material of the best quality, and with skilled artisans ready to execute work of any description, in the best style, and at prices to suit the times, patronage is respectfully requested. Jacksonville, Ala., March 24th, 1871. —Will my correspondents please address me at this place ? ts 8. Henderson. The P. O. Address of Rev. G. W. Weekly, is Americus, Ga. To 11. B. M., Lake City.—A proposition was made in January last to send the Index and Ru ral Southerner for $3.50. Never made such pro position for a less sum. Let it be remembered that ample preparations will be made at Cartersville for the accommoda tion of all who may attend the Convention in April. Christian men of large and liberal ideas live in Cartersville. Would it not be wise and well for churches whose pastors have been appointed to attend the Convention at Cartersville,to make timelyprovision to defray their expenses to and from the meeting ? Weekly collections till the day of leaving, would relieve the matter. Shoes.— Who can estimate the amount of money sent for shoes from any and every com in unity during a year? Why should not there lie a large shoe manufacturing establishment in Atlanta? Capitalists will-surely not overlook such an enterprise much longer. The demand is large aud increasing. Birdsong Bean.—Who will send usa few seed, fresh and genuine, of this variety of bean ? Capt. Sherman destroyed our entire stock of the Bird -Bnn , r m 18(34. Hope some good brother or sister in 'Proup, Harris or Merriwether will send us seed enough for a start, as we prize them very highly. Orphans’ Concert—On Friday and Saturday iiedits, 30 children from “Lauderdale Springs Or phans’ Home” will give a concert at DeGive’s < )pera House. These are children of Confederate dead and are giving concerts for the benefit of the 41 Home.” They will make the tour of Georgia, and we do hope that sympathy for the helpless little unfortunates will cause them to have crowd ed houses wherever they go. One thousand new subscribers could he added jo the Index in two weeks, with great ease, by adopting and working upon the plan following: Twenty'ti-ve old subscribers each, securing four new names; fifty securing three each; one hun dred securing two each ; and five hundred and fiftv each securing one, thus giving one thousand. That it could be done in the time mentioned, the shadow of a doubt need not rest upon the mind of anv sane Christian man. The cause needs such work* the people need the influence of the paper, and the paper needs the money. What is it, among so many ? Ticket Agents’ Convention.—The W. & A. Railroad, on the 28th, brought in a large number of ladies and gentlemen on their way to the Ticket Agents’ Convention at Savannah on the '.‘hth. Messrs. Wrenn, of the W. &A. Railroad, and other accommodating agents, furnished three magnificent sleeping cars for the accommodation of t°he party for the round trip. We were pleased to meet in the party our old-time, worthy brother of ihe quill, the talented editor of the Nashville Union und American, Col. McK.ec. ’I he Cin cinnati Gazette was represented, but we missed the pleasure of a hand-shake with its wide awake cor respondent. We wish the party a pleasant and happy trip, and safe return to their homes. State Agricultural Society.—We are pleased to see that this Society is increasing in popularity, and that our citizens are daily more appreciative of the great benefits the causes of Agriculture and Mechanics are receiving through its instru mentality. The success of the Society is in a great measure due to the capacity, energy and de votion of its very able Secretary, Col. D. W. Lewis, who is par excellence, the right man in the right place. Col. Lewis is ably seconded in his management by his Assistant Secretary, Mr. G. W. Hinkle, who, as an office man, has few equals. We recommend our friends, when visiting the city, to make a call at the rooms of the Society, (under the Capitol,) where Mr. Hinkle will make them at home, and will, in the most affable manner, give them all the information in his power in regard to the Society, or on any other subject; and when they desire it, render them services. They will also find the rooms well supplied with papers and periodicals from various sections of the country—among fheiu, all the agricultural papers and periodicals. THE SEWS. CONG RESBIOXAL.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 30,1871. PUBLICATIONS. To-swell the receipts of every church, every pastor, treasury of every Board, for local or gen eral work, swell the lists of our denominational papers. With 200,000 subscribers, apportioned between the twelve Weekly and Monthly Baptist journals of the South, for two years, our Zion would soon blossom as the rose. Estimating three readers to each paper issued, the aggregate num ber of readers would be 600,000; and supposing each reader to contribute fifty cents a year, as the sum total of his gifts to all objects, $300,000 a year would be the gratifying result. Does obser vation teach that the scriptural rule of giving is more nearly approached and honored by those who read the current religious literature of the day, or by those who never read a religious news paper? Prof. S. P. Sanford’s Analytical Arith metic is now in its third edition, and having passed through its first and second editions so rapidlv, we predict for it easy work in future. A sale of 10,000 copies a year not an extravagant estimate for such a book. Remember, teacher, that we speak of the Analytical Arithmetic by S. P. Sanford, A.M., Professor of Mathematics in Mercer University. If you have not seen the book, teacher or student, get it at once, and you will soon appreciate what has been said about it. The Herald of Health is a good paper The Farmers' Home Journal has greatly improved of late, in every respect. It is now one of the best in its sphere The Hearth & Home is good and pretty; but rather too profusely “ pictured,” and expresses its opinion on Southern outrages with a smack of pleasure, or as though every charge made was literally true. “Be sure you are right ” before giving your opinion on the Meridian or any other outrage Having fully decided not to purchase the Intelligencer at private sale, my connection with it ceases to-day. lam authorized to state that Judge Whitaker, the owner of the property, will probably effect an arrangement whereby the paper will continue to be published. All accounts contracted for job work and adver tisin°*, from the Bth to the 25tli of March inclu sive “will be settled by the undersigned. Samuel Bar’d, Ed. and Pub. True Georgia We take pleasure in announcing that Judge Whitaker re sumes control of it, and has made arrangements with Mr. William Wilsou to publish it. Gen. A. C. Garlington will resume the editorial manage ment, and the Intelligencer will, in the future, be issued as an evening paper. # e wish it complete success Downing’s Fruit aud Fruit Trees of America, lias been revised the second time, by Charles Downing, brother of the author—A. J. Downing. It is now an octavo volume of 1122 pages, published at $4, and ought to be in every family library. Tt is a work of great value. Five new subscribers to the Index, with sls, will enti tle any one to the book without cost. An easy wav to procure such a work The Mainland Farmer is the only magazine published in the State, and gives evidence of ability to do its work in elegant style. It is worthy of its name and place. Subscription, $1.50 per year The Whig & Tribune, of Jackson, YY. Tenn., is not only one of the oldest and ablest weekly papers in Tennessee, but is one of the largest and most prosperous Parents striving to have their sous useful as well as intelligent, should not overlook such agencies as the Scientific American, Manufac turer cf- Builder, and works of like character. To properly estimate the value of such publications, is not easy. The former is $3 a year—weekly— the latter $1.50— monthly If all the Doctors in the land have not already subscribed for the Medical Companion, quite a list is being made of names of leading physicians from almost every section of the country'. Physicians will find it to their interest, finally, to subscribe and other wise aid in sustaining such an enterprise. $2 a year. Address J. J. Toon, Atlanta, Ga M. W. P. is singularly Jplain and] practical m liis style, as it crops out in many of his items in the Southern Fanner. From the April number we quote an item addressed to his subscribers: “ We ask our friends to remember, success is only ac quired by increasing vigilance. We need their help in renewals , as well as in new subscribers. Our people are too fond of change in teachers: we think this a great error. We do not approve of change in preachers or teachers. Slake a selec tion and then stick to it.” In the Constitution of the 29tli, Mr. J. H. Anderson announces that he has disposed of his interest in that establish ment. May success attend him and the paper. EDUCATIONAL. Judson Female Institute, Marion, Ala., is one of the most popular educational enterprises in the South. The good accomplished by it is incalcula ble Rev. T. N. Rhodes and Prof. Daniel Walker, are among the popular aud successful educators of Coweta county. They have largejex perience as teachers Catalogues, Reports, in fact, all school printing, beautifully executed at the Franklin Steam Printing House Sixty pupils have registered at the Atlanta Literary Fe male Institute—an excellent school, deserving of the most liberal patronage. Rev. G. 11.

G. Y. Browne, Pres’t, hasjbetwoen 60 and 75 young ladies in attendance upon its sessions. agricultural. Dallas, Ga., March 27,1871.—The farmers in this vicinity have been considerably on the back ground, since the close of the late war, on account of having lost nearly everything they possessed at the time. Notwithstanding this, they have made the best of it they could, by using close in dustry and economy; and they are now again able to live. The good Lord blessed them last year with a copious crop of wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn, cotton and potatoes. Price of grain, etc., in this county, is now: good wheat, $1.15 per bushel; corn, 75c.; rye, 75c.; oats, 75c.; sweet potatoes, $1; Irish potatoes, country raised, $1; good fod der, $1 per 100 bundles. The farmers have built houses, repaired fences, improved their farms, and, last fall, sowed more wheat, rye and barley, than ever heretofore, and have now sowed oats iu proportion, all of which now look very promising for the season. They are now making arrangements for a good crop of corn, but not as much cotton as last year. Farm hands are hiring at from ten to twelve dollars a month and board. By the year, if they board themselves, from $l5O to S2OO. Day laborers, 50 cents per day, and board; 75 cents per day, if thev board themselves, and very scarce at that. J F. M. S. GENERAL.

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 he should buy the best anfi cheapest fertilizer. Read the advertisement of the Langdon Fertilizer in an other column. Acknowledgements for the Seminary. Permit me to acknowledge the following re ceipts in response to my appeal. The brethren who have not yet contributed, will see that there is still great lack. I trust they will be encouraged by the liberality of those who have given. I know of other amounts coming. Will the churches put us out of debt by the Ist of May ? A little from each church will do it. May I not again urge universal contributions. Every plea that can be urged as an excuse for not giving, is actually a reason why you should give. I here acknowledge only donations, as I have to send receipts by letter to those making payments on bonds. It will be seen that the total amount here acknowledged is $1,114.91. We must have ten times this amount soon. Are there not more than ten times as many yet to contribute? James P. Boyce, Treasuaer. Donations Received from February 18th to March 23nd, 1871.

MARTHA GREEN, of Clay county, Ga., de- Earted tips life on 7th March, 1871, in the 71st year of er age. She joined the Baptist chprch about 4o years ago. Was married Hth May, 1835, to her second hus band, Mr. Thomas Green, who sorrows her. She has not only left a bereaved husband, two sons, three daughters and several grand-chiidreu to mourn her loss, but also many friends and acquaintances. Sister Green was beloved by all who knew her. C. MRS. SARAH WHITFIELD COLLIER.—Died, near Opelika, Ala., on the 10th day of March, 1871, in the sure hops of a resurrection unto eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ, Mrs. Sarah Whitfield Collier, wife of Mr. Thomas Collier, and daughter of Edwin and Mary Killibrew, of Montgomery c.juuty, Tenn. She was born Nov. Stir, 1814, aud was, Consequently, in her 57th year. She jwr.ed the Baptist church at Sardis, Chambers county, Ala ,in July, 1843, About 80 minutes before she died, with that love for Jesus which is stronger the more we lean upon Him, and more precious to the soul the nearer it is to the river ot death, that sweet hymn, “Come to Jesus,” broke from her dying lips, ancl merged into the strains of angels who were, unseen of mortal eye, hovering near and tuning their voices to hymns of praise for another trophy of their Lord’s grace. And now she is not, for Jesus took her, n 4rt* ** if Wo believe thatMesus died and rose again, even so, also, them that sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.” Peaceful rest, in the bed perfumed by the sleep of Jesus! Blessed waking into His glorious likeness, when He comes! MRS. ANN BEASLEY.—D’ed, near Fort Browder, Barbour county, Ala., March 22nd, Mrs. Ann Beasley, wife of Mr. Thomas Beasley, in the 44th year of her age. The subject of this notice was born in Columbus county, North Carolina, sjjrotracted and painful ill ness had forewarned her Maotfvea and friends of this sad event—had given them a prelibera-.ion of ap proaching sorrow, but had not prepared them for the startling sense of desolation which her death awakened. Love, hopeful, imploring, still clung to its object with affectionate tenaciiy, 'nd even friendship dreams that so much of goodness, of gentleness, of virtue, would yet be spared. But the insatiate monster could not be turned aside. We bow to the rod which smites us, but our hearts send forth from the infliction, the bitter wa ters of sincere, though unavailing, lamentatiou. Yet, •we are not without comfort in our sorrow. During her illness, she gave repeated assurance of that change of heart and acceptance with God, which is able to rob death of all his terrors, and which makes the grave but a thin barrier dividing earth from heaven. Then from the sod that covers the perishable relics of the wife, ths mother, the friend, let the wild flower spring to tell of her own transitory bloom, and ihere, too, let the evergreen be planted, a fit emblem of the immortal verdure of that Paradise l* which her spirit hath as cended. “The wintry blast of death kills not the bud virtue.” Written by a friend.

THERE CERTAINLY CANNOT BE FOUND A BET TER COUGH OR LUNG REMEDY. AS AN EXPECTORANT, IT HAS NO EQUAL. Boston, Mass., F*b. 18, 1869. Messrs. P. Davis db 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 in every instance. One woman has been restored from what her physi cian pronounced consumption, after several months’ sickness with 4 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, and with care and continued use of the Balsam, she expects entire resto ration. Another person, a young woman, to whom I gave one bottle, has received great benefit, so that her cough, which was of months’ standing, is getting better, and she has purchased the 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, beeu much im proved, and is a’ble 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 months 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 n.a, on a recent visit, he would not do without it. He is hoping—and rea sonably, it seems to me—to be able to resume his work again. Very respectfully and gratefully, yours, Charles A.

MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED (200) PLANTERS TRIED THE LANGDON FERTILIZER, this last year, and the most favorable reports are heard from it. Its PURITY and STRENGTH are guaranteed- The value of BONE PHOSPHATE AND COTTON SEED MEAL as a manure, is known to every Scientific Agriculturist. These articles form the bulk (4-5) of the “ LANODON, to which are added proper quantities of Potash, Gyp sum and Salt. These five ingredients form the com pound. IT IS A HOME PRODUCTION. Large Cap ital invested here in the Works, affoads a security for the guarantee of its purity. HON. O. 0. LANODON. (Agricultural Editor Mobile Regiettr,) gives advisory supervision to the production ot this Fertiliser. No High Freights from the far East, nor Large Commis sions to Agents here, have to be paid, as must be true of an article of foreign (Northern) manufacture, and hence the “ Langdon ” can be sold, and is sold Cheap er, than any Standard Fertiliser in the market. The COTTON SEED MEAL is produced at the Works, and the RA WBONES are gathered from tho surrounding country and ground at my Mills. Farmers are invited to visit the Mobile Oil Mills and witness the operations of producing the Langdon Fertiliser. Planters should instruct their Merchants to buy for them THE LAXCb DONF ERTILIZER, because it is a simple composi tion of ai tides known to be good, and the Purity of which is insured, because it is sold at a lower price than any article of a like quality could be, which is brought from a distance. Because it will give greater returns from its use, pnuud for pound, than any other Fertiliser, no matter what the price. FROM THE MANY TESTIMONIALS from practical men, these are here given : Tuscaloosa, Ala., Dec. 82nd, 1870. Col. IF. D. Mann : Sir—Your Circular ot the Ist inst. came to hand. As we found the Langdon Fertil izer the best that we tried, I give you mv experience with it. Our land is poor,red hill land. Used2oolbs. to the acre. We Übed one ton of Gillam’s, at $75; three tons of Zell’s, at SBS per ton; two tons of Tho Langdon, at SCO per ton. The laud was all worked alike, and the same quantity used of each. I did i.»-t keep the weights of each field separate, but attended t' 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 opinion of a< l farmers who took notioe of it, the Langdon Fertilize* was far superior to any that we used. Respectfully yours, Ac, 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 Lang don Fertilizer.” THE PRICE AT THE MILLS IS SSO PER TON, in live ton lots; $55 for a single ton; $3 per 100 lbs., for small lots. It is exchanged for Cotton Seed, 300 pounds, in strong sacks, delivered free on board boat or cars at Mobile, for one ton Cotton Seed, free at the landing or depot up country—sacks and twine furnished 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: S6O 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 at $75 to SBO. For my own use, I would greatly prefer it to Peruvian Guano ui the 9ame price.” Os its merits, he says: “ The result is the best Fertilizer in the 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 of Southern soil.” Prof. Chas. U. Shepard, Jr., M. 1)., 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 Bones, which are ground fine. Price at the Mills, $45 per ton. Ground Raw Bone is too well known as a strong Fertilizer to need comment. For Trees, Shiubbe.iy and Grupes, it has no equal.
