•Will be seen that ibis popular and pros
peruus Savannah firm are now receiving
their spring stock of dry goods, and are
prepared to offer them oil their "usual
favorable terms.” A recent visit to th
house and examination of goods received
qualifies us to speak advisedly in the
premise*,-—and we have no hesitency in
advising our friends in Southern Gcor
gia and Florida, that the well 1 n nvn
“Southern I‘ala ce Dry GixhH IIoua'" is
the depot from whence they can advan
tageously supply themedves with any
and every character of dry goods, and
on fair and generous terms.

Thorough knowledge of practical skill,
and pride in professional business, uni
versally commands patronage and gen
oral success. Ignorance, inefficiency, and
irant of pride, on the part of the profes
sional or business man, is soon discover
ed by a penetrating and discriminating
public, ami the result is generally stag,
nation in patronage. Without designing
any disparagement to other professional
gentlemen, we deem it due to men'/, when
made evident, to speak terms of corn
no ndation.
For about twelve months. Dr. M. L.
Barri.x has been a resident dentist in our
town ; lie has fitted up a neat office ; ae
cumulated all the latest and most ap
proved instruments necessary to a skill
ful and scientific surgeon dentist—and
the consequence is, i ( ; » quiet and uu »-
tentatious manner, and i.y close applica
tion to business, and laborious study,
lias gradually gained the confidence of
the people, and now reaps a just reward j
4>y a remarkable good practice.
lately he has given the must unmis
takublc evidence of his professional skill, j
by proving crroneompjtie opinions of the
most popular dentists of the country, as
will be seen by the following certificate
from Oapt. John G. McCall, of Quitman
It is necessary, however, to state, that
Dr. Battle is not tof blame for the delay
in the completion of the operation refer-
ivt! to : C'apf. McCall’s professional du -
tic* have prevented him from devoting
anflicicnt tin e for careful investigation,
■examination, etc. ; but Dr. Battle feels
c .iiHdent that lie will eventually be suc
cessful, and fully demonstrate that the
opinion* of more pretending dental Bur
geons, were not founded on careful ex
amination The following is the ccrtifi
■c te alluded to :
"On the 10th dav of -July, A. I). 1803,
during a skirmish with the enemy's cav
alry, I was struck by a stray tninnie ball,
weighing about an o/„, on the right side
of my face. This hall entered the luwo
jsw (Mine, about half an inch from the
chin, near the neck, breaking the right
lower jaw and about one-third of the left
lower jaw bane into small pieces ; result
ing in the loss of all the teeth on the
right lower jaw, all on the left lower jaw
but thr e, and all the bone from the place
of ehterance to the place of escape, in
cluding the chin bone.
1 how visited several of the first class
Dentist* in this country, and they have
generally dissuaded me from seak ng
any repairs, giving various reasons.
I eventually met with l)r. Battle, and
my case was mentioned, and alter an
examination, he appeared willing to at
tempt an experiment, notwithstanding
the very great difficulty there would be
in preparing, fitting and adjusting an
artificial bone set with teeth properly
antagonizing.
He has, with great care, prepared sev
eral models, and from the success and
impiovement, I am hopeful that he may
repair my loss, and prepare me for artic
ulating much better, and probably for
masticating.
At his request I cheerfully make these
statements.

MAPES’
NITROGENIZED
SUPER-PHOSPHATE
LIME,
A VALUABLE AND POWERFUL
Fertilizer,
For Cotton,
Corn,
Wheat,
Peas,
Garden
Vegetables,
«fcc., &c.
IT- IS COMPOSE!) of ingredients each in and
of itself a vigorous
Fertilizing’ Agency!
They are used in their i’l'UK STATK. and com
bined in tho Super-Pbosphate freo from
adulteration, and perfectly soluble. The practi
cal experience given below of planters during
the past season, fully establish all the advanta
ges claimed for this well-known Fertilizer.
Received the •‘Highest Premium' ’ awarded to
Fertilizers by the American Institute of New
York, held October. 1867.
For full report, with analysis made by the
Committee of the Institute, composed of Dr. (J.
K Buck, Piof. J- G. Ruble, and other prominent
Chemists, see Pamphlets..
The distinguishing feature of this Super-Phos
phate from other similar Fertilizers is that all of
its ingredients are of animal origin, and are either
soluble in water, or in a condition to quickly be
come soluble in the soil, ami be taken up by the
crop.
Contains no inert or mineral materials.
The proper relative proportion of the ingre
dient* in Mapes' Super-Phosphate, to meet the
requirements of the Cotton ciop in Georgia and
£outh Carolina soils, is fully proved by the expe
rience ot Planters, who testify that whenever
they applied the same to land noted for rusting
cotton, the disease was entirely corrected and a
healthy, vigorous growth produced, on the same
land.
Peruvian Guana and other Fertilizers have
failed to secure a healthy growth.
TESTIMONIALS.
! THOMAS S. SALTER, Washington county,
! Ga., reports that seventy-five pounds per acre,
! <*n old laud, increased both tlie Cotton and Corn
| three-fold. Considers it far more economical
j than Peruvian Guano.
DR. K. PARSONS, . l andersville, Washington
co., Ga.. nays : My observation is that Mapes’
j Super-Phosphate is a preventative Against rust
lin cotton. Has about douhlal the cotton and
i trebled the corn. Has done better than Peruvian
| pound for ponad.
J. W, SCOTT, of the same section, reports that
i his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was far
more affected by drouth and excessive rains than
where Mapes’ Super-Phosphate was used. Shall
use Mapes’ in preference to any Fertilizer he has
seen used by his neighbors.
W. II.SPARKS, Katonton, Ga., reports: On
land about half covered with sedge, and which
had not been cultivated in two years, where the
manure was put in badly, manured crop would
yield two pounds where tin* uiimantned would
yield one.
B. B. HAMILTON, Americus, Ga.. reports : -
Obtained the most satisfactory result from Mapes’
Super phosphate, applying it as a top-dressing,
it is considered hy all, I have had the best gar
den this year In Southwestern Georgia.
*V. J. ANDERSON. Fort Valley, Ga., report*:—
| Mapes Miper-Phosphate has doubled ihe crop of
I eotton In every case reported, and some report it
i has more than doubled their < rop. On wheat aud
j oats the result was very satisfactory.
D. A, WARNOOK. Beach Branch, .S C. re
[ port*;---In land which dways rusted cotton in
j creased the crop two-fold, as flue cotton as be
has seen this year*. Prevented rust. Four rows
I utimaniired rusted in August. Everything the
Mapes’ Super-Phosphate was tried on did well.
I Cotton stood tho cold weather in Spring, kept
perfectly green aud grew finely. lias beat Pe
ruvian f .'nino in his neighborhood. Believes it
j to be the best manure now in use.
E. K. LILES. LHesville, Anderson Dittriot, S.
| C., reports: Am compared with Peruvian Guano
and Mapes' Super-Phosphate, the result was de-
I cidedly in favor of Mapes’ Super-Phosphate, at
tributable beyond doubt to the fact that the rav
ages ot the rust were not, by a marked difference,
to be seen where it was applied, as where tin*
other manures were.
JAMES M< MKKKIN, Alston, S. C., reports :
Used a ton of Peruvian and found the result but
one-half as compared with Mapes’ Super-Phos
phate. Soil mostly sandy, with clay sub-soil.
Marked difference in size of the balls in favor of
Mapes’ Super-Phosphate. On cabbage plants the
i increased growth was about 10U per cent.
JOHN R. HAIR, Mims, S.* C., reports:—Cot
| ton was made vigorous and healthy, and matured
;at least two totefpa earlier where Mapes’ Super-
Phosphate was used, as compared with other
Fertilizers. Mapes’ Super-Phosphate produced
i 1 00 pounds per acre mo re cotton than Rhodes’
.Super-Phosphate, and 50 pounds per acre more
1 than Soluble Pacific Guano. Bame quantity of
each 50 pounds) used lo the acre ; cultivated in
the same manner. Mapes’ .Super-Phosphate
more than doulAcd lhe yield of cotton .
R. J. VENNING. Christ Church Parish, S. C..
reports : —One application of 200 pounds Mapes'
Super-Phosphate per *.l!re, made the cotton grow
to the height of six feat, where it grew only two
: feet the year before. Considers Mapes’ Super
phosphate the best Fertilizer for Sea Island Cot
ton, and would safely recommend it to ail plant
i ers.
S. C. MEANS, Spartenburg, S. C., writes—
Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th.
Can safely say never saw a more vigorous growth
; imparted to cotton from the use of any manure.
Soti*tied the use of Mapes’ Super-Phosphate pays
i hundreds.
W. A. MERRI WETHER, Valle Curcis. near
j Columbia, 8. C., rhports that Mapes’ Super-Phos
phate has given perfect satisfaction, and that it
permanently improves the soil. Has no hesita
tion in saying it is the special manure for turnips
aud Irish Potatoes.
P. C. PENDLETON, Valdosta, Georgia, writes
Mapes’ Super-Phosphate has exceeded my most
sanguine expectation ns. The effects of its use
upon corn. pea*.and garden vegetables, was
most marked, f cannot give careful esti
mates as neither land or Phosphate rr sa
measured. If it can always be kept up to
the standard, it must take the preference of all
Fertilizers now in use.
M. B. IIUNTER. Quitman, Ga., reports : Ap
plied at the rate of 150 pounds per acre, upon
every alternate four rows. 'lhe result yean truly
astonishing. The manured rows yielded fully
double the neighboring alternate rows

THE PRIZE
POWDER
OF THIS WORLD.
The attention of Sportsmen and Dealers
is called to the fallowing facts :
At the trial of Arms befo 'rambling Board
in Washington, August, i > tridges made
from this powder, gave far greater penetration,
range, and cleanliness, and in competition with
the principal American powders, proved in ev«ry
respect superior to all others.
At the Wimbledon Rifle Meeting in England.
July, 1860, competing with the best of foreign
powders, the same results were obtained with the
first prize.
The Board convened by order of the Comman- j
der-in-Chief of the State of New York for the ex I
amination of military small arms, whose sessions
were attended by officers specially detached by
the Russian, Prussian and Danish Governments,
say. in their printed report " Mo* numerous guns
on trial, that after firing Bio isids all but one
became so foul as not to admit the cartridge.
This led to a test of the pouxler, and they deem
the subject of so much importance that they say
in tiieir report : ‘‘The ptjwder used in these car
tridyes deserve spread mention as being very su
perior. It is the Orange Rifle Powder 5 ’
Another meeting of the Board, called by .Spe
cial Order No. 126 of*the Adjutant-General, un
der date of May 18, 1867, is subject, among oth
er conditions, to the following, in article 3rd :
“In order to conform to the United .State:-; j
standard charge, as now adopted, the char;;*- I j
powder will be 70 grains. The power to be the i
Orange Rifle Powder F(I, manufac
tured by SMITH RAND POWDER CO.”
■One of,, the best sportsmen in the State writes.
“With the Orange Powder I made the largest
score I ever made.”
In the shooting matches where the powder has
been used, it has been universally successful.
Wm. Taylor, Esq., the celebrated pigeon shoot
er of Jcr.-< :*.y, says: “It is the best powder I
have ever used.”
Another celebrated shot from Central New
York writes : “Your powder is in high repute
here and the country round about, and will su
persede all otbeis.”

Personal Adventure, Army Life. Naval Adven
ture, Homo Life, Partisan During, L.fe in the
Camp, Field ami Hospital., Together with the
Songs, Ballads, Anecdotes and Humorous Inci
dents of the War lor Southern Independence.
There is a certain portion of the war that will
never go into the regular histories, nor be em
bodied in romance or poetry, which is a very
real part of it, and will, it preserved, convey to
succeeding generations a better idea of the spir
it of the conflict than many dry reports or care
ful narratives of events, and this part may be
called the gossip, the fun, the pathos of the war.
This illustrates the character of the leaders, the
humor of the soldier the devotion of women, the
bravery of men. the pluck of our heroes, the ro- i
mancc and hardships of tin* service.
The Va’iant and Brave Hearted, the Pictur
esque and Dramatic, the Witty and Marvelous,
the Tender and pathetic, and the whole Panora
ma of the War are here thrillingly portrayed in
a masterly manner at once historical and roman
tic* rendering it the most ample, unique, bril
liant and readable book that the war has called
forth.
Amusement as well a« instruction may be found
in every page, as graphic detail, brilliant, wit,
and authentic history, are skillfully interwoven
in this work of literary art.
