THE SUN.
1877. NEW YORK. 1877.
The different editions of The Sajn during the
next year will be the same as during the year
that lias just passed. The daily edition will on
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad
columns; while the weekly edition will be a
sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character tuai are Already familiar to our
friends.
The Sin will continue to he the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud in the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for the government of the people
by the people and for the people, as opposed to
government by frauds in the nallot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military
violence. It will endenvor to supply its readers
—a body now not far from n million of souls—
with the most careful, complete, and trustworthy
accounts.ot'„c^rrent events, and will employ for
this purpoiafe* numerous and carefully selected
staff of reporters and correspondents. Its re
ports from Washington, especially, will be full,
accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or
l»y usurping what the law does not give them,
while it will endeavor to merit the confidence of
the public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified power.
The price of tlie daily Sun will be 55 cents a
month or $6.50 a year, post paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
a year, post paid.
Tbs Weekly Sun, eight pages of 66 broad
columns, will be fUrnislied during 1877 at tlie
rate of $1 a year, pest paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
individual subscribers without the necessity of
making up clubs. At the same time, if any of
our frieuds choose to aid in extending pur circu
lation, we shall fr^nMIl ftIhnu^afed every
such jierson who sends us ten or more sub
scribers from one place will be entitled to one
copy of tlie paper for himself without charge.
At oue dollar a year, postage pud, the expenses
of paper niulprinting are barely repaid; aud,
cousideringStne size of the sheet and the quality
of its contents, wc are confident the people will
consider The Weekly Son the cheapest news-
]>aper published in the world, and we trust also
one of the very best.

EDWARDS, GWs Mills, G. R. F.
Norwood, Ga., January 12, 1877.
i. J. O. Mathkwboh & Co., Augusta, Ga.—Dear Sirs: I have used the Pacific Guano
for several years with good success. Last year I tried several kinds, viz: Barry, Fatapsco and
Soluble Pacific.
On the 30th of March last I concluded to make a test with Guano and Green Cotton Seed. I
manured three rows with Cotton Seed only. I then manured three rows with fifteen pounds of
Pacific Guano and Cotton Seed, using the same quantity of Barry’s and Patapsco mixed with
Cotton Seed on the same quautity of ground, which was poor mulluto land, all the same kind and
all treated alike.
Manure. Picked Sept. 28. Picked Lee. 22. Total.
Three rows Cotton Seed 10 17 27
Three rows Pacific Guano and Cotton Seed 41 38 79
Three rows Barry’s Fertilizer and Cotton Seed 88 22 60
Three rows Patapsco Gnuno and Cotton Seed 37 .20 63
The rows were 170 yards long, and I used at the rate of four bushels W Cotton Seed per acre.
Cotton was all picked on sunny afternoons, I being present and weighed it myself.
The experiment was made to ascertain wliat Gnauo was best suited to use with Green Cotton
Seed. Very respectfully yours,
... W. II. EDWARDS.
Walton County, Ga., Jau. 16th, 1877.
Messrs. John C. Pitner & Co., Athens—Gents, I used your Acid Phosphate for composting
lost season, and was well pleased with its results, and expect to use it again this season and re
commend it to the planters as being one of the cheapest and most profitable Acids that can be
used for both Cottou und Com. Very respectfully,
JOSEPH CLACK.
s HOME EVIDENCE :
Messrs. J. C. Pitneic & Co., Athens, Ga.—Gents, I used your Soluble Pacific Guano last
season and proved equal to other standard Fertilizers used ou my place and was well pleased
with its results and will use it again this season.
Very respectfully, 1 s . JOSEPH ALEXANDER.
Orders received, information furnished, and a guarantee given, that if Cotton should be over
