Subscribe for me, and keep your conscience easy. Hamilton Visitor 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?"

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS'. SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO. _ A*,. 'f, ■ ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1873. *■ , ■ W, C. JOHNSTON, Agent at Kingguoro, -- ’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.
