nPMr. 8. C. Dobbs, of Athens, is now
ready to deliver his new brand of guano,
known as “Dobbs’ Ammoniated Cotton Fer
tilizer.” This brand is the same as the Ex
cellenza, which he has been selling for some
years past, only it is a higher grade. The
price is seventy-two dollars per ton. with cot
ton option at 15 cents. lie is selling his
chemicals at sixty dollars. He has secured
Mr. W. C. Stephens to act as his agent for
this county.
LIPOrr & Hunter make known their wishes
to the people of Jackson county in another
column, and we say, emphatically, if you
want to buy Guano, Acids, Chemicals, or
an}’thing else to make cotton grow, go to
them, and they will sell you what you want
and make good their representations. I lie}’
run no bogus concern ; they propose to re
main amongst us and make an honest living,
and in order to do so they cannot afford to
deceive the citizens of the county where they
were born and raised. They can sell as ehead
and as good a fertilizer as anybody in the
business. So give them your trade, and we
will warrant that you arc pleased.
Martin Institute.
The exercises of the Spring term of this
renowned and popular institution opened last
Monday morning with the most flattering
prospects of a largo attendance during the
term. The school remains under the manage
ment of Professor John W. Glenn, so well
known over all Northeast Georgia as being
one of the best educators of the day. The
past success and popularity of the Institute
while under his charge is a sufficient guaran
tee of its management in the future.
This school has made more reputation for
Jefferson and Jackson county than all the
rest of its institutions combined. Far and
near, Jackson county has the reputation of
having one of the best schools in the State
located within its borders. And we venture
the assertion that no other institution, with
one exception, has done more to advance the
cause of education in Northeast Georgia than
the Martin Institute.
The rates of tuition have been reduced to
meet the demand for low prices. Board is
cheap, and we know of no reason why stu
dents should not crowd the rooms of this old
and time honored institution.
We suggest these facts to all who have
children to educate, and have only limited
means to devote to that purpose. Here is
what you are looking for—a good, cheap
school, where your children can be under a
first-class educator at living rates.
Montreal Heard From.
R. L. Mosely, of Montreal, Canada, certified
Sept. 27, 1879, that he had suffered terribly
from dy’spepsia, and was completely cured by
taking Warner’s Safe Bitters. He say r s:
“My appetite is good, and I now suffer no
inconvenience from eating hearty meals.”
These Bitters are also a specific for all skin
diseases.
Father is Getting Well.
My daughters say, “ How much better
father is since he used Hop Bitters.” lie is
getting well after his long suffering from a
disease declared incurable, and we are so glad
that he used your Bitters.—A lady of
Rochester, N. Y.

Cotton Manufacturing in the South.
An address was delivered recently’ in
Blackburn, England, before a large audience
of mill-owners, and others interested in cot
ton industry, in the course of which the lec
turer reminded his listeners of the impor
tance of looking well to the Southern States
in estimating American competition with Eng
land. He said : “ They look simply’ to the
Northern mills but there is.a cotton industry
growing up in the Southern States. It is
only equal at present to one-tenth of the en
tire United States cotton industry ; but the
Southern manufacturers claim to have ad
vantages oven Northern manufacturers.
They have an abundant supply of water,
which is available all the year round, instead
of being subject to interruption in the winter
owing to frost. They have cotton close to
their doors ; they have a more favorable cli
mate, and they have equally good ports of
shipment and they’ can compete with rivals.
If, then, the Northern mills are already en
tering into competition with ns, and the
Southern manufacturers can compete suc
cessfully with the Northern manufacturers,
what is the prospect for us? The position
likely’ to be assumed by the Southern States
is a matter of infinite importance to us.”
With the advantages possessed by a number
of Southern States for raising cotton and
feeding operatives it would seem that nothing
short of a phenomenal blindness to legiti
mate consideration of self-interest could pre
vent them from becoming in time the great
cotton manufacturers as well as the great
cotton growing portion of the globe. Nor is
there reason to suppose that Southern enter
prise will allow others to monopolize a vast
source of wealth, so to speak, its natural in
heritance. Within a few years cotton factories
on a gigantic scale have been put in operation
in the South, and the demand {brothers is con
stantly increasing. The experiment in Geor
gia thrived through a period of unprecedented
depression when those of England and the
Northern States were either closed or being
run on ruinous deficits. Now, that prosper
ous times have returned, bringing capital
and renewed ambition to the Southern States,
there is no reason why Sonthern enterprise
should not with confidence and determina
tion claim the profits to bo derived from the
conversion of the great Southern staple into
yarns and cloths. Until quite recently the
impression prevailed to some extent that the
difficulty of securing factory labor would be
an insuperable drawback to the successful
operation of factories in the South. The ex
perience of the past few years, however, has
dispelled this notion. Indeed, with railroads
comparatively destroying distant and a most
congenial climate to attract operatives from
less favored parts of the globe, it is only
wonderful that such a notion so long pre
vailed.
Cartersville Express : “We regret to an
nounce the failure of Mr. Jas. A. Stephens,
of this city, lately dealer in family groceries
and supplies. We learn that his liabilities
will foot up about $7,000, while his assets
will be, so far as known, about one-fourth
that sum. The failure has shocked our com
munity. coming so unexpected as it did. lie
has been for the past season making large
sales, and apparently doing a fine business.
We have heard various causes assigned for
the failure, but really know none. We trust
that he will soon be able to pay out in full,
and go on his way rejoicing.”

It is rumored tlmt work will be begun on
the Macon and Brunswick extension on the

The young ladies and gentlemen of Albany
on Thursday night of last week, at a Baptist
fair in that city, engaged in a spirited pe
destrian contest for a cake. The affair ex
cited much interest and enthusiasm. Miss
Ella Bacon and her escort, Mr. Lee Hillsman,
were finally declared the winners.
There are thirteen persons in the jail at
Gainesville, and in the past three weeks they’
have made three separate efforts to escape.
Sliey first tried to break out, then to attack
the Sheriff, and then burn themselves out, but
in every’ instance their scheme were frustrated.
The Eagle is solicitous to know what their
next move will be.
Schley correspondent 'Buena Vista Argus :
“Mr. Thomas Walker had a calf strangely
effected one day last week. It was discov
ered one afternoon to be rubbing its head
against trees, fences and the like, which it
continued until the next day, when it died,
having rubbed all the skin off of its head.
Some suppose that it had been snake bitten,
while others fear that its some new disease.”
V aynes'ooro Herald: “We learn that on
Thursday last, in the vicinity of Lorette,
Mr. Thomas S. Oliver was killed by’ the fall
ing of a tree. He was engaged in clearing
up anew ground, and had cut down a tree,
which lodged against another, and in attempt
ing to dislodge it lie was crushed to death
beneath it before he could get out of the wav.
Mr. Oliver leaves a wife and several small
children.”
The Greenboro Herald says : “Sorya q*
farmers are troubled in consequence of not
having sufficient labor to run their farms
during the present ymar. There nro plenty
of negroes without homes, an;\ yet thev wiil
not hire. Our suggestion *sto let them alone
—act as independently as they—and they
will soon seek employment. They cannot
stand this long, and if they can, the law
a S a ’ ast vagrancy cannot.”
Some years ago. Colonel Clark 'Taylor sold
certain lands in Oglethorpe county with the
express reservation tiiat all mineral deposit
found thereon were to remain the property
of himself, his heirs and successors. Mines
and mineral deposit valued at SBO,OOO have
been discovered on these lands, and they
are now claimed by Colonel Richard S. Tay
lor, formerly of Athens, but now of Waynes
boro.
The Ilinesville Gazette says that a great
many l of the rice farmers have begun to pre
pare their rice lands for the coining season.
Mc;iy who went into thi3 business on r. larg
scale last year have, from the splendid sue
cess they have met with, determined to plan'
on a still larger scale this year. The Gazett
thinks the rice crop seems destined to beconv
the leading money crop of its section. There
was more money made on it last year than on
either cotton or timber.
Some young people of Toccoa went over
to South Carolina the other day on a pleas
ure excursion ; while there two couples, for
the fun of the thing, stood up to be married.
It so happened that they stood before a Jus
tice of tlie Peace, and as tho laws of S. C.
do not require a license, they are greatly
shocked to find that they are really married.
It is said one of the couples will stick to
their bargain, but in the other case there will
be application for a divorce.
Lavinia Cobb is the name of a remarkable
negro woman, alleged to be one hundred and
five years old, who lives with her great rand
daughter on Lloyd street, Atlanta. The Con
st it at ion says : She is very heavy and spright
ly, and enjoys good health most of the time.
A few nights ago her mind seemed to wander
and she strolled from home. Next morning
she was found in a branch two miles from
town. She had lain there all night, but soon
recovered from the effects of such exposure.
The citizens of the western portion of
Jefferson county held a meeting a few days
ago at Spread Oak to consider the subject
of establishing a closer railroad connection
with Augusta. Resolutions were adopted
favoring a line from the terminus of tho
Goodrich Branch Railroad, along the Good
rich survey to Rocky Comfort creek, near
Vining's bridge, thence to the Ogeechee river,
near Fetin's bridge, thence to Davisboro,
on the Central Railroad.
Messrs. Frank V. Evans and Lott Warren
have purchased the interest of Messrs. 8. R.
J. S. Weston in the Albany News, and
will hereafter edit and conduct that paper.
The News is one of the landmarks of the
State press, and its sterling merits and the
marked abilit}' with which it has always been
edited have reflected great credit upon its
managers, and have, long since, placgd it in
the front rank of Georgia journals. Mr.
Evans, of the new firm, has been connected
with the News for twelve years—a sufficient
guarantee that in the future it will maintain
the same high position it has held in the past
and that it will continue to be a publication
worthy of the flourishing city and section in
which it is published.— Savannah News.
Louisville News: “Our readers will remem
ber that a young man by the name of Yar
brough was shot in tho head last summer,
while with others he was attempting to play
a trick upon some boys in the neighborhood
by frightening them. The accident occurred
in Washington county. The pistol was in
other hands than his own. The firing took
place as per agreement—he did hallooing ac
cording to contract, and the boys were very
much frightened, as expected. The objective
point was a watermelon patch. Yarbrough
did not whoop and halloo for nothing. He
was really shot.. Mr. Beach was sent for,
and probed the wound about three and a half
inches. The ball entered the back part of
the head in a direct line for the forehead. A
part of the brain exuded from the wound.
Ilis head was kept cool and he recovered.
For awhile after getting up he saw every
thing double—two objects where there was
only one. This showed that the bullet rested
near the nerve of the eye. The doctor says
he is now well, and his sight is all right, but
the bullet is still in his head.”
Macon Telegraph and Messenger: “A day
or two since an old, unexploded shell, left
probably when Stoneman was captured, was
found near Griswoldville, on the place of
Mr. Balkcom, by a party of little darkies.
It was taken from them by their father and
hidden, as he thought, in a safe place. It
was, however, on last Saturday discovered
once more by the little negroes, who took it
to an open place and commenced beating
upon it with an axe to break it open, when
the charge exploded with a terrible noise, kill
ing one of the little darkies instantly and
dangerously wounding the other two, literally
scalping one of them along the whole front of
his skull. One of the two survivors is not
expected to livo. The shell had been tying
exposed about fifteen years.”

and gone down, leaving Ta* Lxdojek

solidly rests without earnest, we!L

labored earnestly and persistently
not only to make it an excellent lit
