lier battles, but agents to assist outside of her
limits, and many were employed in the latter
capacity. We know some of these, and they
rank to-day as high in the affection of their
countrymen as the heroes who breasted the
storm of actual battle. Why, then, seek to
make Mr. James a sacrifice on this account?
During the war he was the owner of one-half
interest in the paper which bore the significant
title of The Southern Confederacy. During his
proprietorship of that journal, he had em
ployed as editors, at different intervals, Mr.
Roberts, of Nashville, knwon as “John Happy,”
Mr. Cordoza, of Charleston, and last, but not
by any means least, Mr. Watterson, now of the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
The writings of Mr. James correspond in
style to that of his conversation and public
speeches. They are concise, unembellished,
to the point, clear and forcible. A recent arti
cle originally published in the Daily Constitution
on the subject of the usury and homestead
laws, is regarded as the ablest financial re
view that has emanated from any of the lead
ing men of Georgia. It has been reproduced
in many papers both North and South, and its
arguments and theories have attracted the fa
vorable notice of the greatest financiers and
statesmen of the republic.
The views of Mr. James on a number of im
port:) nt State questions show that he is endowed
with the elements of statesmanship, which
may be brought into requisition for the good
of his country.
A large number of influential Georgians
have urged him to become a candidate for
Governor at the next election. They believe
that he, more than any other person, is adapt
ed to that position at a period when our finan
cial condition demands extraordinary wisdom
and ability for its successful management.
I fan army must be led to strife and victory,
we would select our greatest military chief;
and if the financial questions of the State need
to he solved to advanage, common sense de
mands that our greatest financiers should be
called to the helm. No man who/ightly judges
can doubt that Mr. James towers far above all
other men in Georgia in this particular. His
friends and admirers believe his administration
would so adjust and regulate the finances of
the State as to liberate the people, in a great
degree, from the burden of taxes under which
they have toiled since the war; and this
opinion lies at the base of their anxiety for his
elect ion.
Important to Poultry Breeders.
Successful Transportation of Eggs.—O. D.
Schock, Hamburg, Pa., writes : “ Believing that
it may be of interest to some if I state with
what result 1 had eggs shipped from Mr. C. W.
(’hamberlain, Arlington, Mass., to my father’s
address, I would state, that out of fifteen Black
Spanish eggs, (shipped four hundred miles),
the result was twelve lively ami healthy chicks.
The eggs contained thirteen chicks, but the hen
killed one, while yet in the nest. The eggs
were undoubtedly fresh, and were also packed
in a superior manner, little ends downward,
and wrapped in paper, and then packed in bran.
I regard this as a very successful ‘hatch.’ ”
Mr. Chamberlain s success in shipping eggs is
owing to the great care taken l>oth with the box
ing and packing. His egg-boxes are furnshed
with rubber springs upon the bottom of each
box, which completely deadens any jar in the
most perfect manner. Attached to the box is a
neat strap-handle, thereby insuring safety in
handling. Each box is carefully marked, “Han
dle with care,” and the best excelsior is used in
packing.
<>ur poultry breeders in the South can rely on
receiving eggs-in a satisfactory manner. See

“THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST.”
This is a truth which everybody admits, and
yet how few there are who make it a rule to act
as if they really believed it. When people go
to house-keeping, as a rule the dominant idea
seems do be to fit up for the dining-room and the
parlor some cheap “make-shift,” some cheap
quality of table-ware, an inferior lamp, a poor,
crippled castor, and a poor, sickly set of knives
and forks, and, in fact, anything they can get
for a little money. They argue that the misera
ble, cracked-up plates, and crazed cups and sau
cers, and other worthless trash, will do for a
time. Well, they will, but it is an awful do, and
has one merit, it is short— for in six months they
must buy another lot of the same sort: so these
extravagant house-keepers, under the false im
pression that they are economizing, go on from
year to year through their lives, always poor,
always without decent table furniture, utterly
oblivious o‘s the fact that the frugal, prosperous
house-keeper, whose face is always beaming with
smiles, when she went to house-keeping, went
to Mcßride & Co.’s “China Palace” and bought
good China, good triple-plated castor, Mcßride’s
best spoons, forks, knives, lamps, and, in a word,
bought for less money than her unthrifty neigh
bor spends in a year, enough of elegant China,
silver-plated ware and cutlery to last her a life
time. She can always bring her friends and
neighbors to a cheerful table, and best of all,
her husband is prosperous, and consequently
happy. House-keepers, quit deceiving your
selves. Cultivate the aesthetic; bring into your
households the beautiful and useful; make your
dining-room, your parlor and your bed-room
more beautiful. Go to Mcßride’s and select the
best goods from his almost endless variety—it
will cost you a fraction more in the beginning,
but will be the cheapest in the end. Mcßride
is determined to assist the house-keepers, if they
will permit him, and to do this he will sell them
a full assortment of China,’ glass and silver
plated ware, lamps, wash-stands, sets, and any
thing they may need, on
MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS.
Therefore no one can have any excuse in future
for using poor table furniture, parlor ornaments
and bed-room sets, as all they have to do is to
go to Mcßride’s, select what they want, and pay
for it in monthly installments. Look to your
interest, house keepers, and avail yourselves of
this liberal offer.

on receipt of 40 cents, ami those who send for it
will get a choice piece of music and at, the same
time help on a worthy cause.

Light Brahma Fowls. We call special atten*
tion to the advertisement of Tom. Ware, which
appears in another column. Mr. Ware’s thor
oughbred poultry is well known and highly
prized in this section, and we feel confident in
recomtnending them to parties abroad who desire

SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.
THE GREAT SOUTHERN BAG MANUFACTORY, ELSAS,
MAY & CO., PROPRIETORS.
To give our readers some idea of the vast
amount of business done by this firm, we will’
give the size of the building, hands employed,
etc.
The building is four stories high, and is 105
feet front by seventy deep, and is situated on
the corner of Pryor and Mitchell streets, and
is supplied throughout with water and steam
pipes, tank, steam elevator, etc.
They keep several hundred men and women
employed in the manufacture and printing of
wrapping paper, manilla bags, paper and flour
bags, cigar bags, cloth bags, Burlap bags, South
ern make seamless bags, etc. They also deal
extensively in light manilla paper, manilla paper,
boot and shoe manilla extra’heavy, clothing and
and heavy dry goods paper, twines, ropes, etc.
They have recently added to the establishment,
and keep constantly on hand, all kinds of
printers’ material, such as flat paper, cover
paper, folio paper, note, letter-head and bill
head paper, book and newspaper, colored paper,
etc., etc.
The proprietors of this establishment—all
perfectly responsible—are shrewd, practical
business men, and give their personal attention
and experience to the different departments,
and nothing escapes their watchful supervision.
Now, that we have such an establishment, let
us patronize home manufacturers.
LAW & CO., Crockery Merchants.
This house is one of the quietest in Atlanta.
They do not advertise much, but wake up now
and then with sledge-hammer emphasis. The
following, clipped from many such in our ex
changes, evidences the high reputation they en
joy throughout the country:
“Law & Co., Crockery.—During our recent
visit to Atlanta, we paid a visit to the above
named firm, situated on Marietta street. We
take pleasure in stating that this crockery estab
lishment, in point of stock and neat appearance,
cannot be excelled by any house in the South,
and it is presided over by Mr. Law and his po
lite and accommodating sons, tliree in number;
the politeness and gentlemanly bearing of these
gentlemen making it, alone, a pleasure to visit
this establishment.
“Their China and glass goods are of every
description for merchants, house-keepers ami
boarding-houses. Chinaware, looking-glasses,
candle-sticks, chandeliers, and the best English
granite ware, finest French China sets, and a
very large and complete stock of everything in
the line. Call on them when you visit Atlanta.
Our word for it, you wiil not regret it.”—Dah
lonega Signal.
We vouch for the truth of the above and much
more, from personal experience. A reliable
crockery and glass establishment has been long
needed in Atlanta. Law & Co. supply it.
The Poultry Argus.—The Poultry interest is
regarded by the mass of the people as of small
importance—scarcely worth a thought. Many
farmers, we might almost say the most of them,
pay no attention to the care or comfort of their
poultry, yet, despite all these hindrances, nothing
else on the farm pays so well for the money in
vested as the “ chickens.” Many a farmer’s
wife meets a large share of the grocer’s bill by
the sale of eggs and fowls, while those who give
attention to the care of their feathered stock find
themselves surprised at the amount of money
they net on their sales. Our attention is called
to this subject by an article in the March number
of the Poultry Argus, which says Mr. W. 11. Todd
of Ohio, cleared, above all expenses, last year
from his poultry yards no less than $7,374.83.
If the poultry interest has so much money in it,
there is then no wonder why we have poultry
journals devoted to this interest, and we would
call the attention of our readers to the above
illustrated monthly journal which is sent one
year for one dollar, or a specimen copy for ten
cents, on application to the publishers of the
Poultry Argw, Polo, Illinois.
A Southern Ice Company.—Atlanta is to have
another ice factory. Senator Jones, of Nevada,
has just purchased a lot in the center of our city
upon which he is going to build an ice factory,
costing about $1,500. He has let the contract
J already, and the work will begin at once.
ATTENTION, SUBSCRIBERS!!
To all subscribers for “ The Rural South
erner, Plantation and Wilson’s Herald of

and are indebted to us, we will, upon receipt of

tation ” for the term of one year, beginning
with this number. Otherwise, this will be the
last number that we will send until the money is
received. But we feel assured that with this
liberal offer, we will not be obliged to discon
tinue the paper to R single one.
J. Ben Wilson & Co.—Special attention is
called to the advertisement of J. Ben Wilson
& Co. They keep a large stock of all kinds of
farm implements at wholesale and retail. Mer
chants and farmers would do well to correspond
or call and examine their stock before purchas
ing, as thpv are business men, their motto being
quick sales and small profits. They not only
sell you first-class machinery, but they put the
same up, thus saving their customers a great
deal of trouble, and often expense. We cor
dially commend them to our readers.
