A Tomato Race.
Among too many excellent articles which
our friend, J. S. Anthony, keeps in his stock,
may be counted the seed ] from that justly
celebrated firm, Briggs A Bro., Chicago, 111.,
and Rochester, Hew York, the largest seed
house in the world. It will surprise many of
our readers to learn that over 23,000 mer
chants in the United States handle seeds fx-om
JBriggs A.Bro.’s whose boxes, 'catalogues, la
pels, chromo3, etc., are extremely attractive in
high colorings and artistic finish. One of the
newest designs from the hands of their artist?
is whai is called “Briggs and Brother’s Great
Tomato Race on their Grounds,” anl repre
sents a race course with perfect representa
tions of the different varieties of tomatoes
striving for tho honors of lea lership. The de
sign is extremely happy and pleasant, besides
conveying to the farmer or horticulturalist
considerable information upon the merits of
the different tomatoes. Being practical"grow
erg, Briggs & Brother mty be considered au
thority on the subject. We see.that they place
a; their leading varieties the Green Gage,
Conqueror and Hathaway’s Excelsior, while
/hay rate other varieties in the following or
der of merit: Trophy, D jfiance, General Grant,
Hubbard Curled Leaf, Hspper’s Goliah, Large
Early Red, Dwarf Orange Field, Dwarf Early
Red, Keyes’s Early Prolific, Sims’ Cluster, and
in the rear, with reins thrown to the ground
and a telescope at his eye to see where the rest
are, shuffles up the Large Yellow. The whole
scene is laid in the richest humor and no one
can give the lithograph at J. S. Anthony’s an
examination without breaking out in a hearty
laugh.

Last Sunday night a train of colored
excursionists passed down the read aloout nine
o clock. As the train was not expected a good"
many people were taken by surprise.
But Blobbs was the worst sufferer. He was
about retiring for the night, when he henrd a
strange rumbling in the West. He had been
,reading Prof. Tice’s theory of storms, and, he
felt a little tfiieasy. At last be stepped to the
door and listened. The awful rumbling came
nearer. The clouds overhead portended a
storm. Blobbs couldn’t stand it. He rushed
into the house, and called lustily to Mrs!
Blobbs. t
■ “Starjyer stumps, ole woman—the tomader’s

"Sounds like a train,” said Mrs. Blobbs, as
s e tugged away at a long stocking.
"Train!” sneered Blobbs, “who ever heerd
of a train at this time Sunday night ? Why,
t mt’s the way all tornaders sound.”
Just then the headlight of the locomotive
came in sight.
"What’s that ?” artied Blobbs.

Contsrs, Oa., Jan. 18, 1875.
•Editor Register :
Last Wednesday evening was perhaps as
cola as any one during the very cold week;
but it did not detor a gooily number of our
young people from attending a party pi von by
Col. L. E. Brown and his good lady at their
residence two miles from town. ' Had It been
their first party there would not have been no
such attendance as graced their elegant home
on this occasion. But most of our young folks
have attended at his residence before on such
occasions, and o.d Boreas hiccself could not
keep them away. t ,
Col. Brown and his lady .aro no " mincers, ’’
or " half-way” people, which was fully attest
ed by the prepa rati ms made for their guests
on last Wednesday evening.
We say nothing derogatory to any of our
housekeepers— and we arc blesasd with many
excellent ones in this amotion —when we say
that Col. Brown’s accomplished lady ought,
by right of merit, be at the head o’f the list.
We have been around some, and in our rounds,
we have actendod a number of parties (so call
ed). It is a hard matter to keep us away.
Any kind of an invitation, however indirect,
will bring us. Age creeps on, and little re
sponsibilities are growing up oround usf but
if our love for those festive gatherings grow
less, wo cannot detect it. We can’t call to
memory any party wo ever attended that we
did not enjoy; and in taking a retrospect, it
weuld be a hard matter Act say which one of
the many we have attended was enjoyed most.
A much more exacting and fastidious person
than your'correspondent would have found no
fault with any feature of tho party at Col.
Brown’s. The suppor couldn’t have bee- sur
passed. We took our seat at the table on
the fourth round, and we would never have
suspected that three rounds of hungry supper
less—home of them we doubt dinnerless peo
ple, who had divested themselves for tho oc
casion, hid proceeded us. There wore no
scraps, and the tables were loaded with an
endless variety of good things, a" complete in
all their proportions as when they coma from
the hands of the cook, and the attention of
tho tables by our Host and his servants was
unremitting ; yO# couldn’t want anything or
everything fast enouga to bo without it a min
ute. Such attention at a hotel would soon
make it famous.
A number of the belles and beaux of Con
yers were present, and tb :y behaved them
selves so woll we would like to make- honor
able mention by name p.f oaoh and every one
of them, but as space would forbid, we can
say that the ladies were dressed becomingly.
We ate not enough of a fashion man to 1 say
what thb tti?tic’>.3 of cdlors afro that constitute
becoming dress for the various shades of
beauty; but ' they all lookjl pretty, and
“ sweat enough to kill,” would not be two
strong an expression. Our young men are
fumed for their gallantry, an l ou the occasion
made for themselves now laurels. •
We had some royal dancing ; and your cor
respondent hid the exquisite pleasure of hay
ing a lady for his partner in every sot that was
anneed, after our arrival, which was not late
—but our departure was. Such good fortune
as that don’t fjftea fall to the lot of one of oar
years and responsibilities.
Miss Emma L-™—-d, Mis Lizzie ,J
Miss Mamie W and, and Mis3 Willie S—— —t
are the names, in part, of a few of. the young
ladies who honored us at various times by be
coming our partner in the dance; and to
them, with hat off, and as polite a bow as one
of our infirmities can make, we pay our re
spects. Miss Emma L and, who is on a
visit to our town, and the guest of one of our
citizens is a mo st jfiaeeful dancer, and it is
the wish of a good many of us that she
may grace with her presence, while among us,
many more such occasions, and the special
wish-of your correspondent that he may find
her on ruth occasions disengaged for at least
one set.
Someone has said that the happiest people
in tho world are those who administer most to
other people's pleasure. Tuat being true, we
vote Col. Brown and his lady the happiest cou
ple we can now thifak of.
We can’t close this letter without saying
something about our genial and urbane T. C.
and our original and fun-loving T. R. who fu -
nished us with all the really good music we
had during the evening, and in several in
stances, to pleasure others, they quit what
was to them most delightful, tete-a-tete, and
engaged ni that which didn’t give them any
pleasure at all. Such sacrifices as that our
young people ought to bear in mind, and the
time is coming when we can reward them, and
we must da it, even if we have to lay other
business aside and ga to the Courthouse. Only
in one instance was T. R. a little obstinate.
We saw.hi3 situation and couldn’t blame him.
He begged that he would take hia name down
as a subscriber to the extent of fifty cents for
the services of a musician who had already
given us proof that making music was but lit
tle in his lino-
We offered to double the amount if that
would keep other than tho music that could, be
n.ade by our T. C. and R. at bay.
Wo disliked to insist, but we fiad been .com
missioned by the dancers, and we felt the duty
to be an imperative one, and com * ho n; ust,
and come he did, and they played “ Tho girl
I left behind me,”, and we danced our boots
off. -
Here, to Col Brown and his accomplished
Lady. May the many sunny hours they have
made for others chase the shadows from their
pathway. L.

■; Col. J. A. Swift, of Lithonia, ono of

DoKalh, and the general agent [for three of
the best fertizers that have been inroduced in
to our State, was in *he city on Monday last,'
in theinterostof the John C. Ragsdale,Brigh
ton, and Swift’s Compound, the three fertili
sers mentioned above. They have been tested
in our midst for the past three years, and
their rare mei it and peculiar adoptability to
our soil have yiado tl\pm, by those who have
tested them, 1 the much prefered fertiliser of
the period. More could be said in favor iof
either one of those throe fertilisers that could
not be crowded into a newspaper article
wo believe it‘will bo to tho interest of every
farmer who plants a seed of cotton to use our,
or all of those fertilizers.. They have boon
thoroughly testedqn this community, sixle-by
side, with what have been, and now considered,
t he highest standard fertilizers ; and in every
instance, tho test has been disparaging to oth
er fertilizers.
Col. Swift, while in our city, appointed
Messrs. Stewart & Met’alia local agents, and
our planters would do well to call on them and
become fully informed of tho true merits of
those Guanos befoie making arrangements of
any kind.
