OF GEORGIA AND
SOUTH CAROLINA.
I have now on hand and for sale, a large
number of MULES and HORSES,generally
from three to five years old, of tho best
growth of the Western country—such as
are especially adapted to the business wants
of the community—and have arrangements
on hand whicli will enable me to supply a
very large demand during the winter and
spring. Myself a native of Kentucky, and
having formerly had an extensive connec
tion with this class of business, together
with the fact that I am now permanently
located in Augusta, I flatter myself that my
facilities are unsurpassed for supplying this
market at tho lowest possible rates consis
tent with a sound business. Purchasers are,
therefore, invited to call and examine my
stock, or send in their orders for any num
ber or any class of cither Mules or ilorses
at market prices.

to a rural beauty who stood at his coun

Planting by the Moox. — An ex
change says : “There are a greut many
who ridicule the idea of planting by the
moon ; but experience is wiser than
science, and many of the most success
ful gardeners observe rigidly the rule of
planting according to the changes of
the moon. An old friend, in whose
judgment we have faith, assures us that
all vegetables of the vine kind, as beans,
peas, potatoes, etc., bear more luxuri
antly if planted in the first three or four
days alter full moon ; and that corn
planted on the decline of the moon will
make heavier years than if planted al
any other time. Let our gardeners and
planters remember this, and make the :
experiment.
