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. tyTalmadge, Hodgson At Co. sell goods strictly on their merit, and any article not giving satisfaction, or not as represented, will be made good on application to them. tyTalmadge, Hodgson Ac Co. have on hand a large and well assorted eteok of tobacco, snuff and segars, which they will sell at close figures. tyTalmadge, Hodgson At Co. have in storo and to srrive 400 barrels assorded grades su gar, cheap as tho cheapest.

DIED, 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.

Denth of Another Old Citizen. On Wednesday last, Gen James D. Frierson breathed his last at his residene in this city, after a long and painful illness, which ho bore witli wonderful fortitude. The deceased was we believe, in his sixty second year. He had long been a citizen of this place—-fQrty 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 Thursday last. the ends, the second “drawings" are from the j a store in the upper part of Jackson county, was killed in an affray one day last week.

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.

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 of the C!i t Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in ilio Mouth, Bil ious Attack ;, Palpitation of the Heart,Inflam 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. Ssrofiii;!, or King's Evil, White Swel lings, Uii". :• G Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, S. "iGulons Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc., cic. 2u these, as in all other constitu tional Di e ' .ses, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have sin..a their gi eat curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Bleed, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these Bitters Ji.:ve no equal. Such Diseases are caused i j Vitiated Blood. Diseases.—Persons en gaged in Paints- and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Min.-rs, as liicy advance in life, aro subject to pamL-.iia of tho Bowels. To guard again ,t this, t.d;e a dose of Walker’s Vin egar Birr, u i occasionally. for Skill ifistatiC.S, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt ll'i. : s, hi d 1 u s, Spots, Pimples, Pus tule--, Buds, Csiijuncles, Ringworms, Scald Head, Soro Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up aud carried out of tho system in a short time by the use of theso Bitters. Tiipc, ami other Worms, lurk ing in tho s> stem of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No sys tem oi medicine, no vermifuges, no anthel- minitic-;, will free the system from worms liko these B.iters. 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. II. II. MCDONALD & CO., DniKi-nts au.l Geoi-ml Agento, San Francisco, California, and cor. Washington and Charlton Sta., Now York.
