Radiators and Cotton Receipts.
Mr. Edkeort--You editors are gen
erally thought by the world outside
to know everything, and when one
of you does happen to ask for infor
mation, it ought, by all means, to be
granted. I wish I could tell you
who it was that singed his hat on
the heater, and handed ip a cotton
receipt for credentials, at the late
meeting of the State Grange. But I
can’t. Those radiators in buildings
heated by steam are very queer look
ing contrivances, of rather receht in
vention, not in common use except in
large cities; and by merely looking
at one, a person is not apt to be able
to tell what it is intended for.
I presume that at the meeting afore
said a series of experiments were in
stituted to ascertain the use of the
curious-looking thing. Thus one
member put his hat on it; but the
smoking and the odor it evolved
proved that it was not a hat-stand.
Another took a seat on it; but his
abrupt and hasty resumption of the
erect posture conclusively proved to
the bystanders that the thing was
not intended to sit upon. llow many
other experiments were hazarded in
that direct+on lam not advised; but
I make no.doubt that not a delegate
went home without knowing its use,
and entertaining a contempt for it
when compared to an open fireplace
well supplied with oak or hickory.
"When you do learn who handed in
a cotton receipt for credentials, please
commend" me to him. Cotton re
ceipts are generally left in possession
of the warehousemen, with the words
“advanced on” written across their
faces; and when a farmer in the
neighborhood is known to have one
in his possession, even for two bales,
other persons besides editors—w ho
are, I believe, considered to be, ex
officio , the most impecunious of men
•“would be glad to make his acquaint
ance—one of whom I must confess
myself to be which. Yeoman.
Fire.—The root df-'thi mile aenfi-'
emy caught fire last Tuesday morn
ing, soon after eight o’clock. The
fire was caused by the stove pipe not
being high enough above the roof.
The alarm was given, and a ladder
being procured, the flames were soon
put out, with no other damage than
tine burning of a hole around the pip
ing, Fortunately, there was no wind,
and school had not taken in. Had it
been otherwise, the building would
probably have been consumed. There
should be a chimney for the pipe to
enter.
Good Advice.— Burton of the "West
Point News, in announcing the sus
pension of that paper, tells the mer
chants of West Point that advertis
ing pays, and very sensibly remarks
that if they will advertise in the La.
Grange Reporter, La Fayette Clipper
and Hamilton Visitoe, it will repay
them two fold. If they don’t believe
it, let them try it, and be convinced.
'•■>
ft-#"“Yeoman” has a communi
cation in this issue. From the way
be writes, we are half inclined to be
lieve he is the party to whom allusion
is made. At any fate, he seems to
have had some experienae with heat
ers.
We would be pleased to hear from
“ Yeoman ” again through our col
umns.
Across the Creek.— The cars
crossed the creek for the first time
Friday evening last, and those who
prefer can now take the train on this
side. Supt. Chipley states that freight
will be received and delivered at the
old depot nntil the 21st, end after
that date at the new terminus.
Hamilton Grange.— The weekly
meetings of this Grange have been
discontinued. They are held
semi monthly.

Mr. J, TT Storey:
Hear Sir—Whann’s Raw Bone
Superphosphate, with which we have
identified the reputation of our house
during the past five years, has achieved
such a wide-spread and universally
favorable reputation, that we deem it
unnecessary to accompany this letter
with any extended array of certifii
cates. We simply desire to call the
attention of planters to the fact
that cotton cannot be profitably cul
tivated without fertilizers. This as
sertion needs no argument to prove
it. The experience of our best plan
ters has fully verified it, and the tes
timony of our most successful cotton
growers, especially during the past
few years, has abundantly established
the fact that reliable manures are as
essential to profitable culture as the
seed itself from which the crop is
grown.
This fact being fldmijfted,' the qnes
is
for the use of the farmer ? recurs each
season with peculiar force. In this
connection we may say that our ex
perience justifies us in the assertion
that Whann’s Phosphate stands al
most without a rival in all sections
of country with which we are familiar.
We began the sale of this article in
1869; and since then the demand for
it has increased in a ratio entirely be
yond our expectations. Wherever it
has been fairly tested, it has estab
lished'itself in the Confidence of the
mo.it successful farmers, and one of
the most positive arguments to jfiove
its reliability and value, is the fact
that parties who-once use it continue
to prefer it to all other fertilizers.
We have hundreds of certificates from
the best planters in the country, at
testing the merits of Whann’s. We
know it to be honestly prepared, and
that its proportions are! liifigled with
the most conscientious care and sci
entific skill. We have personally
made repeated visits to the extensive
works where it is manufactured, and
have assured ourselves, in various
wavs, of the entire reliability and
high character of the phosphate.
On cotton Whann’s Phosphate ex
erts a most decided influence. In
most cases, it carries the plant suc
cessfully through drought,makes more
bolls, ripens the plant earlier, besides
greatly improving the quality of the
staple. On corn its eife.cts are equally
marked. Indeed, on this important
crop its results have been really won
derful—frequently more than doulij
ling the yield, besides adding greatly
to the quality of the grain. No fer
tilizer has ever exceeded Whann’sfor
corn, while on other cereals and gar
den vegetables it has produced re
markable effects.
Convinced that Whann’s Phosphate
has no superior, and few, if any,
equals in the market, we commend it
to your earnest attention.
• Very respectfully, yours,
Clagiiorn,'Herring & Cos.

Hon. M. J. Crawford made the wel
coming address, which was responded
to by Gen. Colquitt.
Speeches were made by Mr. Rags
dale, of DcKalb, and the venerable
Dr. Means, favoring the judicious use
of fertilizers.
Prof. White delivered an interest
ing lecture, in which he showed the
necessity of phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen in all good fertilizers.

That Fisii. —Some of otir exchan
ges seem to doubt the veracity of the
fish story which we printed some
time ago, whereiii it was stated that
a Mr. Bonner, of Meriwether county,
had vomited a minnow', one side of
W'hich was covered with moss. The
item was transferred to our columns
from the Greenville Vindicator, but
we omitted to give that paper the
credit, as we should have done.

A Good FertiiMir —We call the
attention of our farmers to the letter,
in this issue, from Messrs. Claghoi'n,
Herring & Cos., to Mr. J. W. Storey]
of this placs, in relation to the value
of Whann’s Superphosphate as a fer
tilizer. It is comparatively Unknown
in Harris county, but is well worth a
trial, as it is prohounced one of the
best fertilizers among the many now
in use. Mr. Storey has it for sale,
and having used it himself, prefers it
to any other.

A Good Crop.— The La Grange
Reporter says that Henry Broome,
with his three daughters and his
son-in-law, made on L. L. Hardy’s
farm, at Chipley, Harris county, 10,-
440 pounds of lint cotton (making
twenty-five bales of about4l7 pounds
each); 200 bnshels of corn; 6,000
pounds of oats; 5,000 pounds of fod
der. The expense attending this was
$57.33 paid for Peruvian guano, at
.credit price.
The Tiilbotton Standard pro
pounds the following conundrum:
“ What-is the most welcome sound to
the ear of a hungry man ? “ and gives
this answer: “ The sound of the dime
bell,” The man who could satisfy
his appetite with dimes must have a
good digestive apparatus.
SE§P“ Burton, of the West Point
