Wo frequently roeeivo contributions
from writers, who imagine themselves
to be poets. To them wo would com
mend the following paragraph from
Butler’s Hudibras: “The poet is born,
not made; nature, not study, must form
the poet, is a sentence of as great truth
as antiquity it being most certain that
fill tho acquired learning imaginable
is unsufficiont to complete a poet, with
out a natural genius and propensity
to so noble and sublime an art. And
we may, without offense, observe that
many very learned men, who have been
ambitious to be thought poets, have
only rendered themsolves rediculous.’’

Cleveland, Ga., Feb. 7th, 18#
Editors Eagle :—I cant promise you
anything very interesting this week—
in fact, I don’t bind myself to write
any very glowing letters, for several
reasons—one is, this is not a place for
a writer to display his talent for brill
iant letter-wriiing; and another very
prominent reason is, I am doubtful of
having the power to fascinate and inter
est, even if I was better situated for it.
! On Wednesday the posters announc
ed, in different places in our village,
that on Friday night there would be a
“grand concert’’ on the Uropean plan.
Our people are a little curious, and
went to see the concert. I think I may
say that One and all are fully satisfied.
There is a petition going the rounds
requesting our Ordinary not to grant
license for retailing spirituous liquors.
It is being pretty generally signed.
We have two bar-rooms in town, and
I am sorry to say, both seem to be well
patronized.
We fully endorso all you say in vin
dication of our present Governor. ’Tis
true he has made some mistakes, but
whore is the man that don’t make mis
takes. While we say nothing against
the other aspirants, still if Gov. Smith
is a candidate, I think Whito county
will be perfectly willing to try him
again, in spite of all that his enemies
will say about tho State Treasury, third
term, etc. It only shows that he is in
their way—Col. Hardeman is also quite
popular in this county. Wo look upon
him as a strong friond of this moun
tain section.
The mining interests in this county
are on the “look up." Capt. R. R. As
bury, Col. N. H. Hand and Col. Wil
cox are now constructing a canal about
six miles long, to convey the waters of
Town creek, upon what is known as
the famous “Loud Mine,” about five
miles west of Cleveland, which mine is
said to be immensely rich in gold.—
The canal will be completed about the
first of March next, and work for gold
will lie commenced immediately.
Preparations aro now on font to com
mence work on the noted Lewis and
Sprague mines, with every prospect of
splendid success.
The Logan & Dean, alias, the Nacoo-
Mining Company, is now and has
been for tho past four years, in success
ful operation.
At some future time I will write you
more fully concerning tho rich mines
of this section.

Mrs. Joseph Happor died Jan. 25th,

Dillard, of Head of Tennessee, away to

J. S. Burton on tho* evening of Jan
uary 27th.
Mr. R. B. Ritchie raisod, the past,
summer, on one and a lialf acros of
now ground land, one hundred and
twonty-fivo bushels of corn. Thero was
not a particle of manure applied, nor a
plow put into it; tho work being done
with a hoe only; while tho corn was
planted by jobbing holes iu the ground
with a handspike.

That from and after the passago of this
act, all journeymen, mechanics and day
laborers shall be exempt from the pro
cess and liabilities of garnishment on
their daily, weekly or monthly wages,
whether in tho hands of their employ
ers or others. Provided, this act shall
in no wise affect or operate upon con
tracts made prior to the passage of the
same.
Sec. 2. Repeals conflicting laws.
Approved, February 7, 187(1.
Wo have received a copy of the
Daily Free Press, published in Savan
nah, Ga., by R. M. Orme. The Editor
says: “We see a great future for our
State; and as foreign capital is keeping
investments in the South and West,
we are desirous of keeping our State
prominently before the eye of the cap
italist. Ho who blows liis born the
loudest will be heard the farthest; lie
who is enthusiastic in an enterprise,
will impart enthusiasm to others.”
Special Notice.
H. Atkins & Cos. are receiving large
quantities of Bradley fertilizer, giving
cotton option 15 cents per pound.
These guanos are the best on the
market, having beon largely used in
this country, and found to be the best
and cheapost for composting. They
are prepared to add freights on notes.

How ? With your arms ?
Prepare Your Own Fertilizers,
Gainesville, Ga., February, 4, 1876.4
Editors Eagle: I fiud that a Mr, Newman
and Dr. Pendleton are at variance about what
it is possible for the farmer to do in the
of preparing his own fertilizers. I do no
propose to come to the rescue of eithei oi
these gentlemen, but I will, with your leave,
lay before the readers of the Eagle some
facts that may enable the farmer to know what
he has and what he can do with what he has.
First—the ashes from evory cord of mixed
wood consumed on the glace, whether in tko'
house St in the clearing, is worth as a fertilizer
$1 60. Most farmersdeonsume one cord j/er
week on an average during,the year. There
is u value of 883.26. Every borse or mule ki 11-
make 4,000 pounds of solid and liquid ma-
nure, containing elements worth, at the btau
da: I prices, 819.73. A farmer with two horses
wc lid then have in his horse manure $39.86.
Allowing that one-third of this would be :
dropped where it could not bo saved,lie wojild
still have $26.42 worth of manure. Now sup
pose he adds to this hprso manure 1,000 lbs.
of a suitable phosphatic preparation at a cost
of say $25.00, (an outside figure,) be wm
have then in his manure thus made a value of
$51.42. This 'would probably weigh 4,000
podnds. In addition to this he probably bus
os many as four head of cattle. Their manure
all told would amount to 8,000 pounds, exclu
sive of the liquid manure or uriue. Ho can
save from his chicken house nnd night soil
100 pounds more; all of which he can add to
the foregoing amount. The money value of
which would be about $lO, and his pile would
weigh somo 12,400 pounds. In addition to tho
above he has or can have 950 gallons ofuri ne,
worth some sls. Then iu addition he would
have 200 gallons of horse urine, worth $9.72;
anil the aggregate values amounts to $116,11.
But wo must not forgot the Thj*gvg
put down in tho outset at $83.20, aiufwotffftv
have $199.34. This is tho value of what W0 1 '
bo hunbandod on a farm worrit by two
.liorsos, on which therehouse and in
the fields consumexf fifty-two cords of wood.
But I have said nothing of tho cotton seed.
There should bo six bales of cotton, tho seed
of which would be 6,000 pounds, and the agri
cultural value of tho elements of this would
not bo less than S2l, making a total of somo
two hundred and twenty-one dollars. Of this the
farmer will have purchased only $25 worth.
These calculations are not made on the basis
of tire bulk, but on the basis of the actual
value of tho elemeuts entering into the chemi
cal constitution of the substances f named
above. These substances have not’boon hus-
utilized by the farmer as they
should have been. Tho farmer has been buy
ing what he had at homo -tri-wit: ammonia
and potash. While it may bo trno tiiat com-
meroial fertilizers can be made to pay, it is
equally true that thero is more eeonomy in a
judicious husbanding of domestic resources.
A word or two in regard to Mr. Newman
and Dr. Pendleton. I think they will both
agree that the farmor can save a great deal
which he does not save, and that the value of
what he does save wouid bo greatly enhanced
by a mixture with it of a well propared phos
phatie compound.
Tho young mep of tho country aro greatly
at fault in not studying chemistry. Tho idea
seems to he that -it is beyond their reach.
Thoir main business is to effect chemical
changes, and they make no effort to gain in
formation in regard to those changes. Wit
nessing a few experiments and a careful study
of any of the elementary works on chemistry
would ennblo them to read with groat profit
the works of Liebig, Way, Soofferu, Dumas,
Campbell aud Johnson. It is painful to wit
ness the waste that is constantly oecmTinr
a iiHl- 5w.-, 4^-
take place in connection with
agricultural pursuits. Robert Logan.
F. 8. I find on reviewing what I have writ
ten, that I have counted tho urine of tho horses
twice. $9.72 should be substraotod from the
final estimate.
Don’t Kegaul it as a CatcKi-pcnny.
Bbajifiei.d’s Female. Reoulatok,— We havo
often read in the newspapers of tho grand suc
cess of modica! compounds put up at the
North and elsewhere. Many of those medi
oines have had their day, and wo hear no
more of them. Their proprietors havo made
fortunes, not so much from the curative pow.
ors and virtues of their mixl;iros, as from the
notoriety given thorn by advertising, by which
people were made to behove all the good that
was said of them. A preparation is now’ bofore
tho public, which is becoming very popular,
and is known ns Uradfiold’s Female Regulator,
put up by L. H. Bradfleld, of Atlanta, Ga., at
$1.50 per bottle. Such is its curative virtues,
that it has gained wide-spread popularity all
over the country where it has been made
known, and it is being introduced every
where. Wo are informed that immense quan
tities of this medicine are being sold in all
sections of the South and Southwest, especial
ly in tho city of New Orleans and in Texas.
This much we say in justice to its proprie
tor, who is a gentleman of integrity, and who
would not engage in the manufacture and sale
of a humbug.—LaGrange Reporter.
Two Miles Before Breakfast.
In a neighboring city in Georgia, there is a
marriod woman, who, after her third confine
ment, had ulceration, with all its repulsive
symptoms. She tried in vain all the nostrums;
her husband carried her to all tho famous min
eral springs, went with her to Philadelphia,
New York and other places, to consult emi
nent obstericiaus, to no purpose. After the
use of the fifth bottle of Regulator, she has
been fully restored to her former health and
happiness, and is now tho joy of the house
hold—is able to walk two miles before break
fast. feb4-lm
Don’t Ba thr ttucstion.
II is on infallible sign that, a cause is weak
when its claims arc sought to bo established
by mere bold assertion without argument or
substantial proof. Dr. 'l'utt asserts that his
Hair Dye is the best, and lio adduces un
doubted' evidence to substantiate tho truth of
tho assertion.

New Obleans, May 10, 1871.
De. Tutt -Dear Sir: Wo, tho undersignod,
wish lo inform you that we have tried your
Hair Dye, and find it to be the best wo have

excels all other dyes. Our customers will havo

in the dyeing department has rapidly increased
We tliink it a great triumph.

no word in its commendation is necessary.
The plan adopted by the manufacturers of

One Hundred Years Ago!
The Gainesville Eagle
FOR THE
CENTENNIAL YEAR!
In offering the Eagle to the public in the beginning
of tho most important in tho hundred years of the
Nation's oxistonco, it is proper to return our profound
acknowledgment to its patrons for the confidence and
go<xl will which have attended it from He first incep
tion to the present year. It is now better prepared
than ever to work in the interests of the people of
Georgia, and to record tho important ovonte of the
day as they transpire, iu all parts of the country.
Tho newspapers of this country aro fast superseding
the public orators and politicians in shaping the af
fairs of the government, because thoy reach thousands
of our stalwart population —men, wemon and chil
dren—who have become disgnstod with the harangue
of designing men, who do not keep, on an averag,one
in fifty of their promises.
Tho year 1870 will be filled with important evonts,
and no family who cares to keep posted can afford to
be without at least one newspaper.
Wo submit the following points:
1. Congress meets early in January, and thero is no
doubt o the fact that it will be the most important ses
sion since tho foundation of the Kopublic.
2. The Georgia Legislature meets on the 12th day
of January, and the question of a Constitutional Con
vention, the dog law, stock law, tne Stato’s in lorso
ment on railroad bonds, the Treasury complications,
etc., etc., are matters about which the people want to
keep posted.
3. Tho Presidential compaign on which we are Just
now entering will be tho most important one in tho
history of our country.
4. On the 10th of May the great Centennial celobra
bration opens in Philadelphia, and will be the grandest
exhibition ever witnessed in any country.
5. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep
resentatives, and half of the Senate, are to bo chosen
this fall; and with tho number of candidates for Gu
bernatorial honors, both Democratic and ltopublican,
it is certain tlmt we aro going to have lively times.
6. Congressmen are to bo elected in Georgia again
this fall.
7. County officers, from Ordinary to Coroner, are
also to be chosen in this Stato.
The above is tho bill of faro, and tho Eagle prom
ises that its readers shall have the news iu its freshest
form, with editorial and epistolary sauce, suitable to
each disli served up. And while we propose to keep
fully up with the news, wo shall also retain our mis
cellaneous selections and agricultural and household
departments on the outside of our paper.
Politically,
The Eagle will continue to act with the Democratic
party; but while it does so, it will contend and battle
foi the land marks erected by Jefferson, aud will ex
pose corruptions, aud fight rings and cliques, let them
bo found wherever they may.
To Our Old Patrons,
wo would say, help us extend ouk circulation !
Let each subscriber interest him or herself in Bonding
us a now one, and it will onable us to furnish a paper
that shall increase in interest each weok.
Cash in Advance.
The prico at which we furnish our paper just about
covers tho cost of the paper, and the actual labor douo
on it; we aro, thoroforo, compelled to establish tho
ruloithat we will receive no new subscriptions unless ac
companied by the money.
Old Subscribers.
Of these, weffiavo many who" arSpftfifßK—Rlo.V imj"
on sight; and with them we never have trouble. But
then wo have others who aro slow to pay, and this
class we earnestly urge to come forward and sottle,
and aid us in extending our circulation.

THE TRIBUNE FOR Is/J.
CHEAPER AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Postage Free to Subscribers!
Daring the year 1874 the position of the Tribune as
tie “leading American newspaper" has come to be
gi no rally recognized. Politically it maintains with
ib o and fervor its old Gospel of Freedom and Equality,
but maintains its independence of party dictatiru; and
has rarely, in its whole history, found its political
recommendations so much heeded by both parties, or
so thoroughly vindicated bv the people, as during the
last twelvemonths. Its bitterest foes, while assail
ing it as fiercely as of old on political or other grounds,
never now question its pre-eminence as newspaper,
it is confessedly tho foremost in the country. It has
won tho position, and it means to hold it by tho em
ployment of the best ability, by the most watchful,
conscientious attention, and by the most lavish ex
penditdioof money to procure whatever money w.il
buy, in its readers' service. Its exponnitures in this
way during the past year were over one million and a
half ol dollars. For the results of this outlay it asks
from each single subscriber t<> the weekly, two dol
lars; from each subscriber in a club of thirty or more,
one dollar, and it pays the postage itself. Persons
not familiar with tho woekly Trilutuo, or former sub
scriber!! who may bo uncertain about its present
standing or merits, are invited to take it a short time
on trial.
In future no extra charge will be made for address
ing papers to each member of a club, and postmasters
who desire it will receive packages with each paper
addressed to its owner at the lowest price- -practi
cally a reduction of thirty cents a year from the pre
vious lowest club rates.
Tho postage on editions of the Tribune are paid by
the ofti o without charge to the subscribers. Tho
weekly Tribune thus becomes to subscribers in clubs
the cheapest,as it lias long been the best paper pub
lished.
Agents wanted in every town.
