Small Pox tn Town I
We feel it to be our duty to report that the
physicians who have been attending on him
(Drs. Carlton and Long) report that Mr. Albert
Pitnorbas varialoid. There need not be any
alarm, as we are authorized by the Mayor to
say that measures have been taken to prevent
the disease from spreading. Wo shall faith
fully report all cases.
The Sweet Potato.
At tho request of the editor of this paper.
Dr. Young communicates the following article
in reference to soed potatoes. It will bo seen
that he refers to our plans of sprouting. As
we havo never published it, we now give it for
the benefit of our readers; as tho time is near
at hand for “bedding.''
We take the common Spanish seed potato
and bod like yams. Tho best plan for doiug
this was fully described by a Jackson county
correspondent last year. If the sprouts ap
pear abovo ground before all danger from
frost is over, wo cover tho Vied with boards ev
ery cold night. When frost is no longer
dreaded, wo tied up our potato patch, take up
the seed potatoes, with the sprouts and vines
attached—for there will bo vines three to six
inches long—cut them in pieces, so as to so-
curo a sprout or vine on each piece of potato.
We then plant at the proper distances in tho
soft freali broken ground, leaving tho vino or
sprout alone above the surface.
The advantage of this system is manifest.
Although it requires some inoro trouble to
plant, when that is done, the crop is ns far
advanced as, under tho ordinary system, it
would be when worked the second tune. The
ground is perfectly clean and loose—ueeds
but one working, as the vines commence run
ning at once. They soon mulch the ground
so as to prevent baking, and of course ituev
er becomes foul with grass and weeds.
\\ bile the potatoes, under the common sys
tem, are lying in tho ground from the first
of April until the 20th of May—the ground
baking hard, in tho meantime, and producing
an abundant growth of grass and woods, un
der our plan they grow o.T at once, having the
advantage of* the spring rains, and mature
much earlier than under tho old system, in
deed, they are as tar advanced by the middle
of June as potatoes usually are in August.
Those who have doubts as to tho suc
cess of the new plan, had better try it on a
small scale at first; but we feel sure that all
who give it a fair trial will be pleased with it.
Editor Southern Watchman:—As your paper
is widely circulated among the farmers and
ever ready to advance “ Tbo farming inter
ests,'' I give the result of some experiments 1
have made in the cultivation of that much
neglected Sweet potato. In my “ little patch,”
planted in the garden for use before the mar
ket is regularly supplied,—I found that some
came up much sooner than othors. On seatcli-
ing potato 1 found it to bo tho middle portion,
where tho seed had been broken or cat in
tUreo pieces.
For two seasons past I tried planting two
rows with tho middle portion of tho seed.
Tho ground had tho same preparation, plan
ted tho same day. Tho portion plauted with
the ends of the seed was up and commencing
to vino when the middle portion was begin
ning to burst through tho ground.
The middle portion was never as thrifty as
tho ends— neither was the yield so good ; the
roots were decidedly stringy when cooked—
No largo potatoes in tho ridges liko the ridges
planted with the ends of the seed.
I wish othors to try and report results, and
if the middle does as with mo, bettor not plant
them. I shall try your plan of sprouting be
fore I cut this season. Could you inlluence
tile farmers to plant tnoro potatoes ? They arc
easily cultivated, tho yield is good and they
are splendid food to fatten hogs—where tho
farmer has his own smoke house, which, un
fortunately, is too often kept in the west. The
best yield 1 can get is from try earliest steps 1
usually get what I plant aro out in April—
commence to use the first of August.
I notice my yams—the first slips come from
Flowing.
The most important, art connected' with
agriculture or horticulture is breaking up the
ground properly, and hence it is, that wher
ever there has been any advancement -in ag
riculture, good plowing is at the bottom of-it.
It has long been thought that Bermuda gipas
land could not be plowed deep and turned
over without first tearing it tip witba coulter
or “ scooter." This is a mistake. We have
a lot which bad run in Bermuda grass twen
ty or thirty years—it had hakl peaceable un
disputed possession all the time—and it look
ed liko nothing short of an earthquake could
unsettle it. Remembering that Mr. Saftstrom
had distinguished himself at a plowing match
before the Agricultural Society, we consulted
him on tho subject of breaking up our lot,
and lie assured us ho could 'do it. He took a
very largo turning-plow and a stout, heavy
pair of mules and •• attackccTit in force" some
time ago, and it was wonderful to see bow'be
tore it op. His furrows looked like drain
ditches,.and the whole place, when finished,
looked like thero had been a convulsion of na
ture, so different was it in appearance from any
plowing we had before seen in this country
One of our near neighbors, seeing the elegant
manner in which it was done, at once employ
ed " the gentleman from Sweden" to break
up a Bermuda lot for him, and it was done in
splendid style too. We mention those facts
because Mr. Saftstrotn requests us to give no
tice that be is ready to tako contracts to break
up any sort of lots which can he plowed at all
Forfei t satisfaction warranted in every in
stance. Any <mo who wants good plowing
done, need' uot fear to risk him. He will
break land to any depth desired.

Iu Clarke county, Ga., on tbo 12th of January, 1S75,
Mrs. Mary Langford, wif* of Rev. Bodfurd Langford.
Two years ago she was stricken slightly with paralysis,
but the immediate cause of her denth is supposed to
have been heart disease. She and her husband wore
baptized together into the fellowship of Mars Hill Bap-
.ist church in July,1835; and for fifty y«*ars they jour
neyed together in tho conjugal rclatiou, having been
married Dec. 15th, 1825. She was truly a mother in
Israel. In all possible ways, she showed her interest
in tho church; and large numbers, in the ministry and
out of it. can testify to her cordial Christian hospital-
ty. She fell asleep iu Jesus in tho 71st year of her
age. M.
Fir A long story made short is that Tal

after a long and painful illness, which ho bore
witli wonderful fortitude. The deceased was
we believe, in his sixty second year. He

years or more, we believe—and was highly
esteemed and widely known. He leaves a
large family and hosts of friends to mourn his
loss. Ho was buried with Masonic honors on

Bad Roads.
The long-continued rainy and cloudy weath
er has placed the highways generally in a
wretched condition. Of course, some places
are worse than others. Ono of the very worst
we have heard of is about 2} miles from town,
on the Danielsville and Carnesville road. Wc
bavo been requested to call the attention of
tbo proper authorities to it. Some Franklin
county friends who were in town Thursday in
formed us that they had to double teams to
haul one bale of cotton, and another gentle
man assured us that his team “ stalled " going
down hill! A “ corduroy ” road, three or four
hundred yards long, with proper ditches, would
remedy the evil complained of, and it is hoped
tbo matter will receive prompt attention.
There aro otbor places on other roads near
town which need immediate attention. Tho
condition of the reads' amounts almost to a
practical non-iqtercour6e with tho up-country.
Serious Accident.
Wo regret to learn that Mr. Reuben Comer,
a highly respectable citizen, while engaged at
work in the Athens factory on Friday last, ac
cidentally fell backwards into a tool chest and
cut the back of b'is Deck severely and danger
ously ob a chisel. The loss of blood was con
siderable. but we learn he is now out of dan-
ger. • - -•

The New York WEEKLY WITNESS, giving Nows,
NOTICE.
Dr. J. Walker’s California Vincgai
Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation,
made chiefly from tbo native herbs found
on tbe lower ranges of tho Sierra Nevada
mountains of California, the medicinal pro
perties of which are extracted therefrom
without the use of Alcohol. The question
is almost daily asked, “ What is tho cause
of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters?” Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They are the great blood
purifier and a life-giving principle, n perfect
Renovator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in tho history of the world has
a medicine been compounded possessing
the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters
in healing the sick of every disease man is
heir to. They are a gentle Purgativo as
well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or In
flammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs,
in Bilious Diseases.
If men will enjoy good health, let
them use Vinegar Betters as a medicine,
and avoid the use of alcoholic stimulants
in every form.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de-"
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital orpins wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar
Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that
ever sustained tho sinking system.
Bilions, Remittent, and Intermit
tent Fevers, which arc so prevalent in the
valleys of our great rivers throughout the
United States, especially those of the Mis
sissippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Bed, Colorado, Bra
zos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile,
Savannah,Roanoke, Jame3,and many others,
with their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and Au
tumn, and remarkably so during seasons of
unnsiuil heat and dryness, are invariably
accompanied by extensive derangements of
the stomach and liver, and other abdominal
viscera. In their treatment, a purgative,
exerting a powerful influence upon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose equal
to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at tlie same time stimulating the
secretions ot the liver, and generally restor
ing tho healthy functions of the digestive
orpins.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion,Headache,
Pain in iho Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness

mation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of
tlie Kidneys, and:vhundred other painful
symptoms," are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bo:!::! will prove a better guarantee of
its merits than a lengthy advertisement.

have sin..a their gi eat curative powers in
the most obstinate and intractable cases.

ing in tho s> stem of so many thousands, are
effectually destroyed and removed. No sys

For Female Complaints, in young or
olu, married or single, at the dawn of wom
anhood or the turn of life, theso Tonic Bit
ters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Jaundice.—In all cases of jaundice,rest
assured that your liver is not doing its work.
The only sensible treatment is to promote
the secretion of the bile and favor its re
moval. For this purpose use Vinegar Bit-
TKUS.
Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, aud the health of the system
will follow.
