The Kainsdch Norway Oats.
It has been remarked that great dis
coveries or inventions are usually made
when most needed, or when they be
come necessary to the progressive de
velopment of civilization. This remark
is again suggested by the discovery of
the new cereal known' as the Norway
Oat. The gradual decay of the ordi
diuary oat upon our soil has been fre
quently remarked. The oat i3 pre-em
inently the food of the horse, as wheat
is that of man; and according to some
physiologists, both the man and the
horse owe their present development
to their subsistence upon these cereals.
The decline therefore in the produc
tion of the oat, was an annoying not to
say portentous fact. It began to man
ifest itself about the time when new
demands for horse labor were being
created, and when abundant agricultu
ral productions of all kinds became
necessary to restore the waste of the
war.
At this time of well founded appre
hension, for the supply of this one of
the most important of cereals, came
the wonderful story of a monster oat
that had made its appearance in the
garden of a New England farmer. Ac
cording to this legend, tire new cat
stalk was as thick as the little linger
of a man of ordinary size, shooting up
wards so mo si x or seven feet from ter
ra firma, bearing aloft some four or live
hundred grains. A single grain was
represented as being capable of repro
ducing two or three hundred stocks.—
That the description of the ne w oat
might not want a history as strange
and improbable, we were informed that
it was the product of a single grain
found in a package of Norway Peas,
distributed by the U. S. Patent oT.ee.
The story was of course discredited
and soon forgotton by those who had
read or heard of it. But it was true,
nevertheless, one of those which illus
trates the saying that ‘truth is some
times stranger than fiction.” The crop
produced from the solitary germ of the
unknown exhotic. viz:—27Bs grains,
was again sown at seed time, and
speedily ripened into a corresponding
harvest. New England the home of
new ideas and new things, was electri
fied by the astounding phenomenon
presented on Mr. Ramsdell’s oat field,
for such was the name of the discover
er of the new cereal. Th and neighbor
ing farmers clamored for a supply of
seed, and the next year the experi
ment was repeated with like results,
by other producers in the vicinity and
some at a distance: and th is the new
and wonderful exotic is spreading over
the New England States, and like some
of the isms of its people, extending
Southwards. Such is the history or
rather the romance of the new oat.—
But what concerns our farmers most
is the result of the practical experi
ments within them during the past
season.
Although the natural laws of supply
and demand carried the price up to an
unite trd of figure, selling readily at
$32 per bushel at seed time last spring,
still a few of our planters were fortu
nate enough to secure a limited quan
tity. The result seems to show conclu
sively that the grain growing sections
of the South, are to develope its great
est excellence, and that it must in a
few years become a valuable acquisi
tion to our agricultural resources.
Some of the facts in this connection
may be of interest to the general read
er: Mr. J. L. Divine, of Chattanooga,
Ten a., an extensive planter, reports a
yield of over 150 bushels to the acre,
fro none bushel of seed, and speaks in
the highest terms of their many excel
lent qualities. Mr. Peabody, a valua
ble contributor to the Southern Culti
vat >r, has reported for that journal the
result of his experiments, and is enthu
siastic in their praise. Mr. W. B. Wol
ton of Prince Edward Cos., Va., writes
a very interesting letter to the Rich
mond Planter & Farmer on the same
subject: after speaking of their great
productiveness, weight and quality,
and cautioning his readers against be
ing imposed upon with counterfeit
seed, he concludes as follows:
“Whatever benefits our
agiicultural community benefits our
State, aud that the discovery of this
oat iR a grand stride in the march of
progress aud improvement I have no
doubt. lam glad to believe that its
introduction hero will tend to the re
suscitation of the old mother State.”
Among other well known persons
whose names we notice as endorsers
of the Norway Oats, may bo mention
ed, Dr. J. W. Parker, of Columbia, S.
C. Capt, 11. A. Rice, of M icon, Miss.
Prof F. 11. Grace, of Ea.A Tenn., Uni
! versitv, and others.
j which fully e.-t.ib ish the claims made in
1 favor of this grain. We have thus pare
, seated the facts in relation to the Nor
way Oats, because of its peculiar im
portance to the South, ot this time, as
a means of increasing the home pro
duction of a valuable and necessary
farm commodity. In view of the fact
that imposters .-re offering counterfeit
Norway Oats, it is proper to add that
the genuine seed is not white, nor as
dark as the ordinary black oat, but of
a mottled gray color. We understand
the quantity of seed is limited, and
our farmers will consult their own best
interests in procuring a supply as ear
ly as possible.
Messrs. D. W. Ramsdell A Cos., of
218 Pearl Street, N. Y., are the pro
prietors, and have appointed Messrs.
Hough A Church agents for the South
West, with a Depot at Knoxville Ten
nessee.
As it is altogether probable that we
will have a county fair, next fall, and
as Messrs. N. Gilreath & Sox, of this
place, are agents for the sale of the
above valuable Oa l , let us see what old
Bartow can do in their production.—
The proper time to sow this Oat i3 in
February.

Mi:. Edit andr —We hardly know what
to “branch off” on this week, but if
you will bear with our nonsense, we
will endeavor to say something.
The first thing that we desire to talk
about is the side-walks—no, that’s
the wrong word —there is but one or
two side-walks in town; however, as
we are going to “gas” about them, and
can think of no other word which
would express our meaning, we will
call them side-walks, but desire it dis
tinctly under tood that wo do not
consider them as such. The side
walk running from Messrs Trammell
& Puckett’s store to the Presbyterian
Church, is almost impassable in rainy
weather, the mud is shoe-mouth deep,
and so slippery that a fellow has to
stay cool sober, and have the bottoms
of his shoes spiked to maintain his
balance. This is not the only walk in
town in this condition, but nearly ev
ery one of them are in the Same fix. —
Why are they permitted to remain
thus ? Is four dollars street tax inad
equate to make them at least passa
ble ? Is there other public improve
ments going on worthy of greater
consideration, and if so, what is it ?
Are the authorities waiting for the
citizens to put them in order, if so, we
have no doubt but that the said citi
zens would like to have their $4 street
tax remitted. We would like for some
one who makes it a rule to a', tend to
everybody’s business except their own,
to give us some light on this subject;
and as this class of individuals is pret
ty well represented in Cartersville, wo
can confidently expect the desired in
formation. W e don’t care so much
about having the walks fixed up as
long as the weather remains fair, it is
only inclement weather that discom
modes us, and if the town Council can
contrive some means to keep it from
raining, we will never say am thing
more about the side-walks: that iz fair
enough, and a man who would grum
ble at that proposition, would grum
ble to be hung. Hoping that these
hints, given in a very modest way, will
have the desired effect—and it they
do, we’ll bet wo have good side-walks
—we will close upon this subject.
There was a show’ in town last week
—a circus show! Talk about your
painted horses, and bare-back riders,
double-summersaulters, Ac., this show
don’t have anything of that sort, it’s
old-fashioned, show —that is, it was
organized we suppose, about the com
mencement of the revolutionary war,
judging from the general appearance
of things. However, taking all things
into consideration, it was a pretty
good show; a blind man would pro
uouuce it “bully!”
The intelligence has reached our
ears agaiu, that the counter-jumpers
on the east side of the railroad, are
“down on us,” and swea/ vengeance.
Boys, let us persuade you, as one who
takes great delight in telling you of
your faults, to go slow—don’t do any
thing rash—bold your tempers —culti-
vate your mustaches duriug the week,
then station yourselves in front of the
different churches on Sundays, and
twist them, and stare at the ladies; it’s
pretty, and the ladies like to have just
such sap heads to laugh at; of course
they think you are handsome, and
upon close examination can tell bag
ging from satin and silk; they admire
your mustache, and make due allow- i
:n ’o for anything you do amiss, for
they know the mustache is a token ;
of mourning for the want of brains.— j
Attend to your dry-goods, and don’t
addle what little brains you do pos
sess, trying to find out, and specula
ting as to who “Tell-Tale” is, for you
will never succeed.
Owing to the fact tha fc we are a lit
tle unwell, wo hope all whom we have
omitted to notice this week, will beg
our pardon, and we promise to be!
more elaborate in our next, slighting ;
no one. Hoping those whom we have j
“puffed ’ this time, will appreciate it, j
we remain very secludedly yours, j
“Tell-Tale.” j

We had a pleasant visit to Carters
ville this week. Since our visit to this,
“spunky” town last Spring, many im
provements have been made. Much
delight is manifested there at the pros
pect of a speedy completion of ttie
contemplated road to Van Wert
Town lots are in demand, and new
buildings are going up all around’—
There is a neatness and newnesss about
the place, giving evidence of taste and
energy. A people that have risen from
the ashes with so much rapidity as
they have done for the last few years,
will be sure of success. The new court
house, not quite completed, will be an
ornament to the town. It is hand
somely planned, and when finished will
be one of the most con venient and sub
stantial houses of Justice in' tho up
country. Judge Parrott adjourned the
present sitting until the regular term,
on account of the unfinished rooms
not being ready for business.
We had quite a pleasant interview
with the Judge in the cilice of our old
friend John Wofford, and found him a
genial and communicative gentleman
in manners and conversation. Jc’hn
says His Honor makes them all law
yers, jury and witnesses come up to
the “chalk line”, and is very popular
on the bench.
The “Commercial House” is being
nicely fitted up and . a larged; another
story has been pr.t-on, and the interi
or remodeled by friend Houston, for
merly of Rome, and pronounced \ 7
Col. Shorter one of the best w*v ‘- men
that ever was here. TI and :otel is
splendidly kept by Met-a. ...yon & Lee.
Nice table, everyth’ g in perfect neat
ness and beautiful; the cooking is good
and the ladies of the house by their
presence "mu activity around the well
spread ’ rd, renders one doubly sure
that th _/ arc interested in your com
; fort while yon are recruiting the inner
j life. We advise our friends to make
it convenient to take a meal there while
pas ing.
Wo wish they had gas in the streets
and a litile more pavement during
dark nights end lainy weather. But
wait awhile, and even these things will
be attended to. Business‘is quite brisk;
; good deal of cotton bought there, and
life and stir and vim is depicted on the
countenances of the people. Messrs.
Howard & Erwin are doing a large
business in general merchandise and
as commission merchants. We met
our long time friend, Dr. (). Pinkerton,
who has a large drug store, and ‘Billy’
Gilbert, who is in the hardware busi
ness, and Davis who has a family gro
; eery.
It wou’d never do to leave town with-
I out going to see Bio. Sam Smith. So
; we called into the office of tho Express,
and were greatly disappointed in not
finding our cordial confrere. We]were
met by a young gentleman who show
ed us around until the “boss” arrived
from dinner. Was glad to hear that
Editors had a dinner sometimes. We
seldom take our little mite hot. Found
Bro. S. was well supported by the sur
roundi: g country.
We think that Macon paper reads
by moonlight, when it said the Express
was hard to read, for we saw two or
time > barrels of the best Philadelphia
Ink setting all around, and big letters
on the Press saying, “Distribute the
Ink.” Now, with ail these aids and
helps how is it possible for a paper to
get such a imbue? Tid Uid Idi l I’fc
want the people to read such a ster
ling advocate for right, that’s all.——
“Distribute” your Express, far and
wide, friend Smith, and after tho peo
ple are well supplied at home, send
them to the Southerner & Commeacial.
Yes, Bro. Smith, and yon have not
told all, Mess. Z. W. & M. C. Jackson &
Cos., of the Steam Planning and Match
ing, Blind, Door and Sash Factory, o 1
this place, are the contractors for the
wood* work and finishing up of the
Court-House. If there are any work
men that can surpass them, they don’t
come this way. As to the American
Burn (Un on ) at Macon, we only have
this to sad : We had rather print a
sheet that is difficult to read, if our
retideiß difficult themselves to read it,
than to publish one ever so nice that
the people won t read. If the Union
did get a few smooty copies of our pa
paper, they maintained clean principles.

proposes to give away a splendid en
graving entitled “Evangeline” to every
subscriber for 1870. This superb work
of art is one and one-half by two feet
in size, and is equal to the best $3 en
graving ever offered. The Banner is a
large eight-page, forty-column paper,
overflowing with splendid reading of
all kinds and costs only 75 cts a year,
which is very cheap for the paper alone,
but tbe publishers propose giving every
subscriber a cop;* of their elegant en

send for specimens to ‘The Star Span

] L ell Done for Cartersville. —The
j Talladega (Ala) Sa.i say ho was pass-
{ ing through the streets cf that city, ;i
few days since, and observing quite a
crowd of men assembled together, he
was induced to call by to ascertain Ilie
cause of the assemblage, and found
them closely inspecting a two-horse
wagon, bearing noon its body the im
print of Gower Jones & Cos., Carters
ville, Go., and he furthermore says, it
was the unanimous decision of the
crowd that no such w igon had ever
passed that way bJo *e. In points of
durable timber, substantial workman
ship, and neatness of appearance, to
say nothing of cheapness of price, it
was unsurpassed. We can say to the
Sun that these gentlemen do all their j
work just after that pattern.
Cabinet Organs. —The most exten
sive makers of this class of instruments
in the world are the Mnsou & Hamlin
Organ Cos., who annually produce and
find demand for several times as many
as any other manufacturers. Their
work stands highest, not only in this
country, but also in Europe.
Mr. Hamlin, of this Company, was
tlie discoverer of the art of voicing
reeds, and has brought it to greater
perfection than has yet been attained
by others. From this, mainly, comes
the fine quality of tone peculiar to the
Mason and Hamlin Organs. But the
great success of this Company is doubt
less owing, also in goad measure, to
their rigid adherence, to certain princi
ples. They make first-class instru
ments only, and will not turn out infe
rior work at any price, or suffer a
] oor instrument to leave their factory;
and they sell always at least remuu
uerative profit, printing their lowest
prices, which arc invariable.
The President, in an interview with
Gov. Valko, taw no objection to tbe

THE
RAMSDELL NORWAY OATS.
Have been tested by prominent planters in
every State in the South the past season,
who report yields of from 80 to 150 bushels
per acre, weight and quality superior so all
others. Unlike all other Oats it has a
healthy growth, roots striking deep, and
not easily affected by drougtk, while its
stalks aro sufficiently strong to bear the
heavy burden of grain without lodging,—
In fact they overcome all the difficulties
heretofore experienced in production of
small grain in the South.
It should be sown in Spring one bushel ;
of seed to the acre. It will spread until the I
ground is completely covered with a luxu
riant growth. If too thickly seeded it will
choke itself,
C-A-UTICaST.
Counterfeit seed is being sold for our va
riety in large quantities. The genuine seed
can only be had at our Depots, and of our
appointed agents, who must be able to show
our bills and Trade Mark.
Price per bushels, $7 50; half bushel $4; j
per peck, $2,50. Send by express on re- j
