This Casii System.—As we have to pay the
cash for everything we use about our house

cash business. We will take wood or pro

we pnfer a limited cash business to an ex

Hamilton, Harris Cos., Ga.
This town was burned by a detach
ment of Federal troops sent out from
Columbus, Ga., by Maj. Gen. Wilson,
on the 18th day of April, 1865. llut
two buildings were left on the public
square by this act of vandalism—the
hotel, and the house now' owned by
Maj. Doggett. By industry and en
ergy, the damage sustained has been
partially repaired by the erection of
neat and commodious business houses.
Six or eight elegant new' residences
have been commenced since the war,
and are now in process of comple
tion.
We will, during this year, be con
nected with the world by railroad.
Already the sound of the locomotive
is heard on cur Southern border, and
ere long it will pass through our quiet
little town on to La Grange. Let us
keep pace with the progress of the
age iu public enterprises. Take the
example of our fellow-tow nsman, R.
G. Hood, who, to-day, is erecting a
handsome residence and a palace-like
flouring mill in onr town. This is
enterprise. Olt, for one hundred
Hoods 1 Then our town w'ould put
ou the habiliments of prosperity.
Success to you, friend Hood !
In view of the many good things
in store for our little town in the fu
ture, it, perhaps, would not be amiss
for onr corporate authorities to have
the streets and roads within the lim
its handsomely worked, grade th.e
sidewalks and shade the same, and
do and perform a great many other
things incumbent upon them as offi
cers entrusted with the cleanliness,
neatness, good order and public mor
ality of the place.
If we all look at tbe interest of our
town front the same standpoint —and
and there is no reason why we should
not, but rather that we should—and
all work together in harmony for the
upbuilding of our town, by inviting
and encouraging good men to settle
among us—especially good and true
mechanics working men —and no
idlers—we may, in a few' years, have
one of the most pleasant country
towns in the South. Why not?
We have the salubrity of climate, the
fertility of soil, the purest water on
earth, an Italian sky more beautiful
than that of which Diodorus dreamed,
and last, but not least, women who,
for beauty and intelligence, would
have rivaled the sublime beauty of
the women of ancient Georgia,
Amusing Mistake. —Two young
ladies of this county, who do their
own work, had occasion, lately, to
go to Columbus. Previous to leav
ing, they did the family washing, and
put the clothes into a hag, rough
dried. They took a lot of rags (as
they thought) with them, which they
sold. Imagine their consternation at
finding, on returning home, that they
had disposed of their clothes instead
of the rags! Their brother at once
set off for Columbus, where he found
that the supposed rags had already
been packed in a bale ready for ship
ment. After some search, all but two
of the pieces were recovered.
Unavoidable. —We ordered paper
from Columbus two or three weeks
ago. Last Monday we went there,
and found that the agent was entirely
out, and that both the offices were
nearly in the same fix. Had it not
been for Mr. the Sun, who
kindly let us have enough for ibis
issue, we should have been unable to
print a paper this week. The paper
being smallei than ours, we have had
to reduce the size of the present num
ber of the Yisitor. However, we
give as much reading matter.
Good News. —Capt. Chipiey told
us, a day or two ago, that work on
the railroad would be resumed in
three or four weeks. The Company’s
indebtedness to Grant, Alexander &,
Cos has been settled in full, and the
arrangements for iron are satisfactory.
Here is what Hamilton will soon see;
CesS?" The fruit trees are in bloom,
and the weather is delightful.

Sun, who has been spending a few

_ A*,. 'f, ■
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1873.

-- ’p '
HARRIS CO.—TERMINUS NORTH S SOUTH RAILROAD.
This justly celebrated Fertilizer, which has had such an cxten&tte sale in
this section during the past few years, and which has given universal satis
faction wherever properly applied, is again offered to the planters of Harris
and adjacent counties upon the most liberal terms, as it is the established
policy of the Pacific Guano Company to furnish its Guano at the lowest cost
to consumers, and look to small profits and large sales for compensation to
capital invested in its production. In view of this policy, and the reduced
cost ot production, the Soluble Pacitic Guano is put into market this season
at the low price 0f45(5 per ton, cash, and freight from Columbus to Kings
boro ($1.50) added. for sale on time,for currency or for cotton.
There is no fertilizer offered In this market, having a recorded experience 1
in its use, which can compare with this article. That fertilizer which has
stood the test of time, and has an established character acquired by long
experience, must present claims to continued confidence which cannot per
tain to articles which have not been subjected to the same ordeal of long
tried use. This guano has been sold in this market since 1865. Its con
sumption has steadily Increased throughout the country, from a few hun
dred tons the first year of its use, to many thousands of tou annually, Which
is the highest attestation of its superior excellence.
a wmmm ©mjtodij*
The groat popularity of the well-known Soluble Pacific Guano, manufac-*
tured by the Pacific Guano Company, Messrs. John S. Reese & Cos., Balti
more, General Agents, and Mr. W. H. Young, of Columbus, Special Agent
for this section, has led tfitpinclpleS parties to endeavor to introduce an
infoiior article, under a somewhat similar name, and to try to induce plant
ers to buy their compound, on the assurance that it is the same as the gen
uine Soluble Pacific Guano, Mr. Young wishes to correct, through the
public press, any such impression which may have been entertained, by in
forming his friends and customers that no responsibility attaches to any
compound sold under such assurance —hence the necessity arises to caution
planters to buy only from the authorized agents of the genuine Pacific
Guano Company. The real Soluble Pacific Guano is branded with the name
of John S. Reese & Cos., General Agents, Baltimore, and is put up in sacks
warranted to contain two hundred pounds each.
