IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
Messrs. L. J. Guilmartm & Co.,
Cotton Factors and Commission
Merchants of Savannah, have issued
the following circular:
Savannah, Ga., Ang. 10, 1876.
Dear Sib:
In view of the great losses to the
planting interest of this country last
year, and indeed for several years
past, caused by want of proper* care
in the preparation of cotton for
market, we respectfully suggest that
you give careful attention this year
to the following points :
See that your cotton is well gin
ned; as free as possible from seed,
motes, and sand; tho staple not cut;
and avoid as far as you can tho mix
ing of white and blue, or white and
red cottons, &c., in the same bale.
Mixed bales are usually valued at
the price of tho lowest grade found
in them.
Especially wo urge that you will
pack your cotton in good heavy
bales, none less than 450 lbs., as the
smallest pockets are counted as
bales in the reports of receipts, mak
ing an apparent quantity of cotton
larger than the actual production;
thus depressing prices to the injury
of planters. Besides this, buyers
for foreign markets have determined
to reject all packages under 300 lbs ,
and buyers for American markets are
demanding a deduction of 20 lbs
per bale (instead of 10 lbs., as here
tofore) on all such packages, as the
expenses of storage, drayage, &c.,
are as groat on such packages as on
large bales, an item of importance to
planters as well as to buyers.
Wo beg that you will act accord
ing to our suggestions on these
points, and urge all your neighbors
to do likewise, for tho general good.
Yours truly,
L J. GUILMARTIN & CO.
To Our Colored Friends.
In the State election, at least, we
see no good reason why white and
colored voters should uot stand to
gether. Gen. Colquitt, tho nominee
of the democracy, is a Christian man
who loves peace and good govern
ment, and is pledg^ do all he
can to lift the burden ol bard times
from the pec pie. What colored man
does not favor these things?
We have reason to be proud of
our colored people. Tho fact is,
those of them who wero raised
around tho old Capital have more
sense than the outlandish, rico field
cane brake Africans of South Caroli
na, Mississippi and Louisiana.—
Quite a number of them read the
Union 3l Recorder, and they love
their country, for they read enough
to understand that they aro better
oft' than thousands of tho white
folks at the North who aro out of
employment and in a starving condi
tion. Some of our colored people
have bought homes which they are
improving, aud all have been ablo to
got work enough to live. Many of
them send their children to school,
and they havo no more reason to
complain of hard times than the
whites. Good laws enforced by an
honest Executive is what wo all want
We aro glad to believe that in this
there is no difference of opinion be
tween white and colorod men.

A SERENADE AND SOME OTljER THINGS.
On Monday night last, the “Mil-
lodgoville String Band,” composed
of some of our best young men, pro
ceeded to the residence of our re
cently nominated Senator, Judge F.
C. Furman, in the quiet villago of
Sc-ottsboro, and by the light of the
moon, discoursed sweet music to
the sleeping household. The Judge,
with his usual courtesy aud vim,
had the “boys” brought in and in
troduced to the good things of his
hospitable board. They then pro
ceeded to the late residence of Col.
Col. Charles DuBignon, and were
kindly met by F. G. DuBignon, Esq-,
and invited within to be refreshed.
He expressed his appreciation of the
honor, and extended a hearty wel
come.
The present residence of Mr. Du
Bignon was built by Gov. Clark, and
many true and noble men, (among
them the late Hon Seaton Grant-
land) livod and died within its walls.
The old house still stands with its
noble grove in front, presenting the
same cool and inviting appearance it
did when the gayest of our gay Cap
ital were wont to gather there, in the
honest days of our good old State.
The residence of Judge Furman
was built by Gen. Scott, who settled
Scottsboro. It passed into the
hands of Col. Farish Carter, and is
still owned and occupied by his de
scendants.
Scottsboro was once tho homo of
our veiy best society, and distin
guished for its quiet beauty, and
natural advantages as a seat of learn
ing. At present, but few houses
aro occupiod ; and to tho eye of the
intelligent observer, it recalls vividly
the picture Goldsmith has given us
of “Sweet Auburn ! loveliest village
of tho plain.”
A fine mineral spring has but re
cently been discovered in the village,
which may renew its youth, and re-
etoro its pristine beauty and de
lightful social standing.

Life.—If we could only read each
other’s hearts we should be kinder to
each other. If we knew the woee and
bitterness and physical annoyances
of our neighbors, we should moke
allowances for them which we do not
now. We go abont masked, ottering
sterotyped sentences, hiding onr
heart-pangs and headaches as careful
ly os we can; yet we wonder that
others do not discover them by intu
ition. We cover our best feelings
from tho light, but we do not so con
ceal our resentments and onr dis
likes, of which we are prone to be
proud. Life is a masquerade at
which few unmask, even to their
dearest friends. And though there
is need of much masking, would to
heaven we dared to show our real
faces from birth to death, for then
some few at least would truly love
each other.
Tho body of Mr. John Stinson of

The crops in upper Georgia are
more promising than for ten years

this is probably true of the entire
region above Atlanta. The corn
fields are black with luxuriance, and
there is scarcely a possible contin
gency that can bring the yield below
the average. Cotton is also luxuri
ant and remarkably well fruited.
A large Tennessee corn dealer tel

Yesterday morning, says the Sa

coupling some cars, which were
in motion, and, slipping on tho
rails, foil on tho track, the wheels of
the car passing over his body, mash
ing it into an almost unrecognizable
shape, and nearly severing tho head
from the neck. The remains were
brought to the city and taken to tho

Reviewing the Roport of Clymer's
Committee on Expenditures in the
War Department, tho New York
World remarks in conclusion:
“But, besides its wotk in tho con
viction of roguos, the Committee has
deserved well of the country for
what it haa done to vindicate honest
men foully slandered. It deserves
tho thanks of tho country for res
cuing tho fair fame of Michael C.
Ivon-, threatened by a foul conspira
cy. Its action in establishing the
purity of Mr. Pendleton against
charges as malignantly urged as they
were wantonly and maliciously con
jared up, is not less commendable.
Never iu the history of this country
has a public man been more unfairly
or more wickedly held up to general
reprobation than was Mr. Pendleton
until tho Committee, by a full, fears
less and searching investigation, es
tablished his innocence of charges
brought against him in the fatuous
hope of warding off in part the force
of the blow, struck in the exposure
of Belknap, at the Administration.
To have vindicated the guiltless and
chastised the guilty is the highest
praise such a committee could de
serve.

“The Roanoke Cotton Prees purchased of von
last season ha* proved enliroly satisfactory. We
had used two other Presses before purchasing
yours, but found objectionable features in themt
we therefore threw them aside, intending to con
tinue trying uutil wc found oue to suit us. We
have examined several ot the leading Presses
but prefer yours to any we have seen. Per
speed and strength we think it is without a
rival. We have seen two ofthe leading Presses
at work anil are satisfied we can pack a bale in
half the time it will take to pack with them.
We therefore recommend it to be a first-class
Pres* in every respect,”
From Mr. A. Vann, Rich Square, N. C.:
“I have pressed one hundred sixty-ei^lit bales
in my Roanoke Cotton Press. Same weighing
fire hundred and eighty pounds. My press is in
splendid ord-r, aud it not consumed by fire, 1
think it will last an age.”
Call on me and examino working
models ot both Press and Cleaner.
