I enter upon the duties imposed by this de partment, with the hope that I may be able to render it agreeable to all. I shall make no rash promises, but endeavor to do the boat that I can, or, at least, as much os my youth and inexperi ence will allow. My position is an arduous one, and I ask the co-opperution of all my friends in tne discharge of my duties. And please bear in mina that I am your property, subject to your advice and patrouage. For this depart ment of the Standard I solicit correspondence of all kinds, pertaining to the welfare of the peo ple and the good of tho community iu which we live. That our union may provo a mutual bene fit is the siucere wish of Ed. Mumfobd. No less than half dozen purties relieved the monotony which hung around Christmas. The Band enlivend things a little yesterday evening, with a tune or two. The shrill cry of an auctioneer may be heard on our streets every day.

Christmas was more or less dull here. The City Paps shook their heads at the idea of allow ing the use of fire-works, and the b’hoys didn’t have much tun. Every young man iu town should join the Di alectic Society. There is nothing calculated to improve the mind more than a good orgaization of this character, A young man from Florida had his pocket relieved of thirty three dollars last Tuesday night on the S.

The election for county officers took place in a quiet sort of way, without any fracas. All the candi ; dates worked hard, but one thing’s certain; all of them didn’t get elected. At least twenty candi dates run for the office of Tax Collector. We will give the result of the election in our next issue. General Bethune.—We learn through a frind who has recently seen Mr. Harris, the Con gressman elect from this District, that Gen. Be thune has notified Mr. H. that h< * will contest liis election on the ground of fraud in the man agers. In the House of Representatives the Gen eral declares that there were fourteen thousand illegal votes cast in this District at the Novem ber election and also that several thousand ne groes were prevented from voting. This is a c kef d'euvre of impudence and falsehood. Masonic Fair and Supper.-— On Wednesday night the Bth inst., there will be a Fair and Sup per at the new Masonic Hall, in Talbotton. Contributions are respectfully solicited, as the funds will devoted to fitting up the interior of the new Hall, Admittance free. The commit tee of ladies consists of the following names: Mrs. M. A.

SUCCESS in Cotton Raising depends much upon tho use of choice seed and good Ma nures. When your farm yard Manure is ex hausted, purchase the boHt commercial Manure that can be procured and use it freely. The best commercial manure that I have used is the EUREKA. It can be procured from Messrs. F. VV. SIMS & CO., Savannah, Ga. In uaing it for cotton, open a deep, wide furrow, and ap ply about 200 lbs. pier acre, and then run a deep subsoil or small scooter plow through the Fer tilizer to mix it with the soil before bedding on it, as this will enable the cotton plant (especial ly in a warm climate, or on limestone land), to stan<T a drouth without shedding many of its forms. CULTIVATION OF COTTON. In a warm climate, or in dry soil, cultivate the land flat (without beds) aiul have narrow rows in order that the land may be well shaded to prevent the In at from causing the cotton to shed its fruit ; but in cold climate, or in cold aid dampt or bottom land, plant on high bods and keep them so in tho cultivation, and have wide rows, with a thick stand in the drill, in or der to prevent too large a weed and make the cotton mature early. When the plant is about six inches high, plow deep if the land is stiff, and subsoil if you can, and after that, plow very shallow with wide sweeps, so as not to break the small roots between the rows. In deep sandy soil “skim” oil the time. On upland with a good stand, top your cot ton about the first ol August ; but on rich or bottom land do not top it until the 10th of Au gust, as early topping on such laud will cauae the cotton to “sucker” too much. I now hare some of tho best selected Cotton Seed that I have had for many years, and plan ters will find it to their interest to give them u trial. Price of my Cluster Cotton Seeds, $5 per bushel for less than five bushels, or $4 per bush ed for five or more bushels. I also have “Dick son’s Improved Cotton Seed” at $2 per bushel.

J&'Hend tor Circular containing Price and Testimonial#. R. FINDLAY’S SONS, Sole Manufacturers, Findlay Iron Works, Macon, Go. We offer a few Certificates only:— EixiariKi.D, S. C., January 20. 1872. Messrs. R. FINDLAY’S SONS, Macon, Ga. Gentlemen: —l am glad to say that Inm very much pleased with the “Eclipse” Cotton Screw bought from you. I have packed all my own crop* ad the crops of some of my neighbors, and can safely say it packs faster than any Screw' or Press I have over seen. It is very simple, strong, and not liable to get out of order. Yours truly, N. B. STROTHER. We, the undersigned, having witnessed the Findlay A Craig Eclipse Screw Cotton Press, (man ufactured by R. Findlay’s Sons, Macon,) in actual operation, do not hesitate to heartily recom mend it to our planting friends and customers ns a Cotton Press possessing several new and com mendable features; prominent among which are rapidity, light draught, strength, simplicity, durability, standing room at the top of the box, and general conveniences. The Screw Pin has a pitch, or fall off 4 inches, rendering it uncommonly quick in action: and the nnti-triotion device i such as to inquire much loss power to operate it. than the ordinary Screw Press, having a pitch or fall ot one or two inches. Twelve revolutions of levers run the follow Blocks down, and two or dinary hands, in our opinion, can with comparative ease pack a 500 pound bale of cotton. In short, it is the fastest, easiest worked, and most convenient press we have ever seen operated. It can bo worked either by hand or horse power, at the option uf the owner. The proprietors inform us that they guarantee their Press in every particular. f JAS. M. SIMMONS, Representing Adams, Bazemore A Wara. Cotton Factors, j B. L. WILLINGHAM.

Fort Valley, Houston County, Ga., January, 1871 Messrs. R. FINDLAY’S SONS, “Findlay Iron Works,” Macon, Ga. Gents:— Having purchased of you last fall a “Findlay and Craig Eclipse Screw” Cotton Press, it affords me great pleasure to send you my certificate of more than satisfaction. From reports made by parties using the press, I must confess that I expected to find it superior to all others— whether of Iron or the Old Wood Screw—but did not anticipate such grand results ! Gentlemen, in introducing the Eclipse Press you have gained a sweeping victory over all competition. Nona that I ever saw or heard of, can even approach it in excellence. It possesses* great speed, (faster than Old Wood Screw even,) having a pitch or fall of (>J inches. The light draught—the result of your anti-friction device—is wonderful, great box room, standing room at top, and numerous conveniences, still further commend the Eclipse to any planter wanting a Cotton Press. My ware house receipts show that my bales packed on the Eclipse, by one light mule, range from Seven to eight hundred pounds each, and I candidly believe that a 500 pound bale can be pocked in my press by one man at the Lever. I cannot Ray too much in favor of your Eclipse, in fact, not enough. For quick end heavy work, and light draught, you “eclipse’ pH others, leaving compe tition far behind. In regard to durability, 1 consider it as durable as anv press evor manufactured, and, in my opinion, will last generations, Don’t be afraid to guarantee them thoroughly. You will have as many orders as you can fill, I believe and hope. Your advertisement truthfully us orts that the “Eclipse” is the host press in the world. STERLING NEIL.
