cnAPTEB I.—THE GALLANT CAPTAIN INSURES.
In Hie county of Screven, State of Geor-
gift ou the banks of the swiftly-flowing Sa
vannah, dwelt Captain Martin L. Bryan, for
merly of the 25th Georgia, C. 8. A. A well
to-do citizen of about 50 years of age, owner
of fifteen hundred to two thousand acres of
land on the river bottoms, whose house had
been burned by the army that escorted Sher
man on his celebrated Southern toar. The
captain had lost much of his property du
ring the late unpleasantness, aud resolved
to protect the interests of his family by ob
taining life insurance. He went to Savau-
nah, called on the insurance men, and ob
tained a #10.000 policy in the Knickerbocker
Life, of New York, $10,000 in th« Accident,
of Columbus, $10,000 in the Casualty, of
New Jersey, $10 000 in the National Trav
ellers’, of New York, and $10,000 in the
Travellers’, of Hartford—eighty thousand dol
lars in all.
CHAPTER II.—HE 13 DROWNED.
One bright summer day—it was the morn
ing of the 10th of June, 1S07—Capt. Martin
L Bryan, with one of hid sous aud two of
his neighbors, went to re-survey some
swainD lauds, bordering on the river, just
above old Kesouree landing. They completed
the survey; ciught some fish,£ cook d ftud
ale them, aud then before reluming home,
Capt. B. aud Hansford 11 Owens went to
remove a hatteau from “the lake;” Iu com
ing rapidly down the river it snagged aud
u!»s» t—so Owens tesiifies under oath—and
both were pitched into the swift current.
“Deceased,” (says Owens, meaning the Ca|>-
taiii,) called ou!, “Caleb the boat!” but Mr.
Owens was more intent on his own
safety than that of the boat, aud swam f«»r
the shore “without lookiug around.” Scram
bling up the bank, he was “surprised and
alarmed” to find.-Captain Martin L. Bryan
missing. It was so irccly half a minute of
time, the liver was L5o yards wide, 10 to 15
feet deep, current very swift, the boat float
ing bottom up, no place et concealment, but
not a vestage of the Captain anywhere to be
seen. In view of which circumstances, Mr.
Owens * feels aud knows that deceased could
only have drowned aud sunk.” _
Owens called for help, aud Bryan’s sons
aud neighbors, (not including said Owens,)
grappled aud searched diligently for the.
dead body, during the next aud subsequent
days-bnt unsuccessfully. All concluded
that the body had become entangled aud fast
iu the snags and brush that obstructed the
river.
CHAPTER III.—THE BUZZARDS
— “Perched upon his Imro bnfk bone.
And picked his eyes out ono by one/’
Six days afterward, reports came from the
steamer Swan that “Me body was seen in Sa
vannah river,” ten miles below the place of
the accident. Three men hail seen floating
lace downwards, close in shore, under the
branches of a willow tree, and the **buzzards
were perking at the. body." Next day a party
went in search, but found it not, and con
cluded “that 1 he body \ must either have
been peek' d open by buzzards and again
flunk, or was devoured by an alligator, or
some other carnivorous inhabitant of the
water "
CHAPTER IV.—“DECEASED” WAS “HIOH-TONED”
AND THE ACCIDENT “UN ACCOUNTABLE.”
The neighbors all testify, iu the most posi
tive manner, that “deceit cd” was a man of
uprightness, hocesly and integrity—“a.geu-
th-.uian of high tone.” He was not a godd
swimmer, was fearful of deep water, and
very cautions. His son says “he does not
know Low to account for said mishap, ex
cept that it was one of those unaccountable
accidents which, while they are uuder the
superintendence and direction of an All-wise
Providence, seem still to be the result oi
chance, in that they are without assignable
cause, controlled by no fixed laws or roles
of conduct, or action, or stqueuce, and are
as likely to overtake the most prudent as
the most reckless.”
CHAPTER V.—INSURANCE MONEY CALLED FOR.
The relatives and friends of Capt, Martin
L. Bryan, while they lamented his suddeii
d.-atli, commended his prudence iu obtaining
$80,000 insurance agaipst death by accident.
While his body went to the buzzards and
alligators, they went lor the, money. An
immense bulk of documentary evidence,
sworn and certified to with all official lor
malitics, jwas forwarded to the office of the
Travelers, of this city, in return lor which
they desired the $40,000. Ditto to the other
companies interested in the Other $40,000
Alas, the companies were all reluctant to
pay—they were suspicious of the high-toned
captain—their bowels did not yearn with
compassion lor the widow aud fatherless
chililreu—in short, not to put too flue a point
upon it, “they would not pay-”
CHAPTER VI—AND LA8T!
On the 13th inst. the following telegram
Was received at the office of the Traveler**: r

DearSir—At your soggeation, I have tested foot
different Fertilisers on my plaoe this ecaeon—White-
tork’s bnper-Phorehate, Bangh's Maw Bone, Mapes’
Super Phosphate, slid Peruvian Guano. I have
noted their effects on land planted and caltivated as
near alike at* possible, and can nerreive no apprecia

Dr. Parsons, Agent, Sandersville :
Dear Sir—At yonr request, I have carefully noted
the effects of tne Peruvian Quaoo and Mapre’ Hepem
Phosphate of Lime, 1 bought of you last winter. I
applied as nearly as possible the same amount of
each, about 76 pounds per acre. The quality ol the
land was old field- Planted and cultivated alike,
Mapes’ Supi r-Phosphate has developed os good a
crop, pound for pound, as the Peruvian Una o. The
crop is about three to one better than nothing. 1
us d it in both corn and cotton with the same suc
cess, and aa Mapes* Super-Phosphate to one-third
cheaper than beet Guano, I am satisfied that Mapes
Super-Phosphate ia - far the most economical fjy
planters to use here.
Yours truly,

Messrs. Purse <* Thomas :
Gentleman—In reply to your enquiry in regard to
the result in the use of Mapes* Super-Phosphate of
Lime during the present year, I have to say that it
met my most saugnlne expectations. The effect* of
its use upon corn, pea* and garden vegetables, was
most marked. I cannot give careful estimate*, m
neither land or Phosphate was measured. If it can
be always kept up to the standard, it must take toe
preference of all Fertilisers now in use.
