8 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.

Tffi MRU WOW & WATM “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. “ Memorial March.” Messrs.

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!!
