OUCCEKS in Cotton Raising doj-ends much
O upon tho use of choice seed and good Ma
nure.; When your farm yard Manure is ex
hausted, purchase the best commercial Manure
that can be procured and use it freely. The
best commercial manure that I have used is the
EUREKA. Lt can be procured from Messrs.
F. W. SIMS A CO., Savannah, On. In lining
it for cotton, open ad eg, wide furrow, and ap
ply about 200 lbs. per acre, and (hen run a deep
subsoil or small scooter plow through the Fer
tiliz r to mix it with the soil before bedding cm
it, as this will enable (he cotton plant (especial
ly in a warm climate, or on limestone land), to
stand a drouth without shedding many of its
forms.
CULTIVATION OF COTTON.
In a warm climate, or in dry’ soil, cultivate
the land Hat (without beds) and have narrow
rows in order that tho land may be well shaded
to prevent the heat from causing the cotton
to shed its fruit ; but m cold climate, or in cold
at and dampt or bottom land, plant on high bods
and keep them so in the cultivation, and have
wide rows, with a thick stand in the drill, in or
der to prevent too large a w< and 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 weeps, so as not to break the
small roots between the rows. In deep sandy
soil “skim” nil the timo.
On upland with a good stand, top your cot
ton about the first ot August ; but on rich or
bottom land do not top it until the 10th of Au
gust, as early topping on such laud will earns©
the cotton to “sucker” too much.
I now have some ot the best selected Cotton
Seed that I have had for many years, and plan
ters will lind it to their interest to give them a
trial.

BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN!
Who would not bo beautiful ? Those who are
beautiful by nature, can make themselves more
bewitching with
Hagan’s Magnolia Balm.
I hose who are not thus gifted can add greatly to
their attraction by its use.
Madame de Stael said she would gladly give
up the power conferred by hor intellectual posi
tion, if she could thereby purchase beauty.
Throughout all time Man has done homage to
Beauty, and bestowed upon Beautiful Woman
his life’s dovotiou. and adoration.
“Tho world was sad—tho garden was a wild,
And Man the Hermit sighed,till Woman smiled.”
Nature has not been so lavish of her gifts in
this direction, as some of tho fair Daughters of
Eve may desire. Many lack the first great es
sential of loveliness, a blooming Com
plexion.
Without it, all other beauties are marred; with
it, the plainest features soften into refinement
and glow with loveliness. Hagan’s Magnolia
Balm produces this effect and gives to the com
plexion tho
FRESHNESS OF YOUTH.
It you wish to get rul of lli'ilness. Blotches,
Pimples, etc., you should use this delightful ar
tide.
It is what Actresses, Opera Singers and Ladies
ot fashion use to create that distingue appear
ance so much admired by every one.
By its use the roughest skin is made to rival
tho pure radient texture of Youthful Beauty.
Hagan's Magnolia Balm overcomes the flushed
appearance caused by heat, fatigue and excite
ment, makes the eye look clear, full and bright,
and imparts a genial, lively expression to the
countenance, indicating iulelloelual power and
natural grace.
exposed t the summer sun, or sprint'
winds, causing Tan,
find this Balm of great value, us it fi*hinveßTnrsn
defects by a few applications. In fact this article
is the great secret of beauty; no Lady who val
ues n youthful appearance can do without it.
It makes a Lady of thirty appear but twenty;
and so natural, gradual and perfect are. its effects
that no person can detect its application.
'The Magnolia Balm transforms tlie rustic
( onntry Girl into a City Belle, more rapidly than
anyothci one thing.
Applied to the Neck, Arms and Hands, it im
parts an appearance of graceful rotundity and
eng.wring pinmpno us well as a pearly bloom
ing purity, which is ever tho admiration of the
opposite x. When used upon the person it ex
hales a subdued fragrance, suggesting pure hab
its and a cultivate?! taste.
'Tin* Magnolia Bdm contains nothing in the
least injurious to the skin.
The patro.ngi- awarded the Magnolia Balm by
fashionable l ulu sof New York, Opera Singers
and Actresses, and its rapidly growing demand,
induces us to recommend it with unbounded con
; tide nee. It costs but 75 cents per bottle, and is
| sold by all On urge ds, Perfumers and General
Storey. Oviginalh prepared by Wm. E. Hagan,

Lyon’s Kathiaron,
For Preserving and Beautifying the Human
Hair. To Prevent its Falling Out and
Turning Gray.
A well preserved Head of Hair, in a person of
middle age, at. once bespeaks refinement, elo
gniiee, health and beauty. It laity truly be call
ed Woman’s Crowning Glory, while men are not
insensible to its advantages and charms. Few
things are more disgusting than thin, frizzly,
harsh, untamed Hair, v\ ith bead and coat cover
ed with Dandruff. Visit a barber and you feel
and look like anew man. This is what LYON’S
K.VTUAIRON will do all the time. The charm
which ties in well placed Hair, Glossy Curls,
Luxuriant Tresses, and a Clean Head, is notice
able and irresistible.
The Ladies, (who art! the best judges of what
pertains to beauty and adornment,) are getting
to understand the value and importance of a
fine Head of Hair. Thus, we see that more and
more attention is paid to the Culture, Growth
and Preservation of the Hair by both sexes.
Women are not alone in the desire to improve
their Tresses.
Barber shops and hair dressing saloons multi
ply in number, and Ladies’ hair dressing is fast
becoming a fine art.
And thus the demand for LYON’S KATIIAI
UON constantly increases, and every day adds
new testimony to its very great value.
Do you ask why? For the following reasons:
(More could be given, but these ought to bo sat
isfactory to start with.)
Because it increases the Growth and Beauty of
the Hair.
Because it is a Delightful Dressing.
Because it Eradicates Dandruff.
Because it Prevents the Hair from falling Out.
Because it Prevents the Iluir from Turning
Gray.
Because it Keeps the Head Cool and Heals
Pimples.
Because it gives the Iluir a Rich, Soft, Glossy
Appearance.
the now widely celebrated Kathairon, was
first discovered and introduced to the public in
1848, by Prof. E. Thomas Lyon, a graduate of
Princeton College, N. J. The name is derived
trom the Greek, “ Kuthro” or “ Kathairo ,” signi
fying to cleanse, purify, rejuvenate, or restore.
The favor it lias received and the popularity it
has obtained, is unprecedented anu incredible.
It wa.s found to be not only a beautiful Dressing
for the Hair, but to act medicinally upon the
head in cleansing it of Scurf and Dandruff, ami
restoring Hair upon Bald Heads.
LYON MAUFAOTURiNG CO., New York.
The above is just wlmt Lyon’s Kathairon will
do. It is pretty it is cheap durable. It is lit
erally sold by the car-load,uiul yet its almost in
credible demand is daily increasing, until there
is hardly a country store that does not keep it,
or a family that does not keep it, or . family
that does not use it. All Druggists sell it. Price

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted Unnnimoimly i,y u,,.
Georgia Press Association.
THE CASH SYSTEM.
Resolved, That we urge with deep
earnestness every publisher of this Asso
ciation and the entiro press of the State,
to adhere strictly to the system of ad
vance payment on all sul scriptions t >
their papers,and so advise their patrons
from week to week.
UNDERBIDDING.
Resolved, That any momber of the
Georgia Press Association who shall
hereafter insert advertisements, or outer
into contract with any advertising agen
cy, or any other parties,to insert adver
tisements for less than minnimum rates
printed on our schedule of prices, shall
be expelled from the Association and
dropped from the exchange list.
Resolved, That any newspaper, in
Georgia, whether a member of this As
sociation or not, violating the foregoing
resolution, shall be struck from the mail
books of this Association; and that each
member be requested to publish the
above resolution as often as practicable.
LEGAL ADVERTISING, ETC.
Resolved, That the practico of so
liciting county a lveit sing from county
officers w ho are at the time under annu
al contract or agreement with a partic
umr , n,,. . J !,.
gitimate competition, and that the of
fering to do such advertising at reduced
rates, or pay percentage or bonus to
such officer or officers, as inducements
to change his or their official journal, is
disreputable, and should subject the of
fender to expulsion under article VIII
of the Constitution.
Resolved, That tho acceptance, know
ingly, of county advertising without ad
vance payment from a county officer who
is in arrears with his former publisher,
is unjust, unprofessional and dishonor
able, and that any member so offending
shall be expelled, published and strick
en from tlie exchange list of tho Asso
ciation.
Resolved, That any member who shall
accept such advertising in ignorance of
such officer’s arrears, and who shall ro
fuso or fail to discontinue tho same on
proof of the fact, by tlio publication of
such officer as a defender, shall bo sub
ject to like punishment.
Resolved, that the rates of legal' ad
vertising agreed upon by this Associa
tion on the 11 th of May, 1872, in section
3 of a “bill to be entitled an act to reg
ulate the legal advertisements of the
several counties of this State*’ are fair
and just, and that, bidding below Ihe
said rates to obtain patronage engaged
by another paper is, to all intents and
purposes, “underbidding," and should
be classed with the crime of “ratting.”
Georgia is blessed with a country
press unequalled in excellence of man
agement, in devotion to principle, and
iu prosperity by that of any other South
ern State. Its conspicuous position in
vites the following compliment,as hand
some as it is deserved, from the 'Wil
mington (N. C.) Journal: “We have
sometimes wondered whether the pres
ent prosperous business and political
condition of Georgia was not owing, in
a great degree, to excellence of her State
press. It is a fact, anyhow, that the
press of Georgia is more prosperous,
more vigorous, more generally circulat
ed and read than in any other Southern
Slate. And Georgia is blest with a bet
ter local government, her financial con
dition is better, her works ot internal
improvement are more profitable and
better managed than in any and all the
other Southern States. We do not re
fer especially to the press of the larger
cities and towns—and they are an hon
or to the several communities in which
they are published—but to the country
papers as well. There are moro papers
published in Georgia, to the population,
we believe, than elsewhore in tho South,
and they liave larger circulations, and
arc, beyond question, more successful
than papers similarly located in neigh
boring States. No ono who can see the
papers of Georgia requires to bo told of
their prosperity. They proclaim it more
than all the books that could be written,
or the agents who could be appointed
to herald the advantages of that State
to tho intelligent capitalist or industri
ous laborer who may ho seeking for a

Manu res.
I here arc but few farms, the soils of
which will yield remunerating crops un
assisted by manure, and except where a
large stock of cattle and other animals
is kept, from which to manufacture it,
recourse must bo had to other sources—
and notwithstanding the home supply
can bo increased on every farm, by pav
ing attention to the gathering materials
foi the compost heap, of the importance
of which wo have in our timo written
enough to till a good sized volume, and
of the value of which we were never
more fully impressed than at the pres
ent time, —still the addition of commer
cial manures of an approved character
can always bo made to pay, even if mix
ed with those of the barn yard and com
post heap. There arc three or four con
stituents of soils that can be supplied
with advantage by the application of ar
tificial manures—these niay be summed
up in a few words, Ist, phosphoric acid,
as furnished first by bone earth, mixed
with one-third or fourth of its weight in
Peruvian guano, or pure Fish guano to
furnish, 2dly, ammonia; 3dly, ashes, in
any reasonable quantity,to give tbe pot
ash so absolutely necessary to many
crops; and 4thly, plaster, which not on
ly retains the virtues of the manures to
iL is^ added, but also when sown
from the atmosphere the floating gases
which secure one of the most necessary
and valuable of all the requirements of
plants,—ammonia. A clover sod turn
ed under will also furnish ammonia—so
will cotton seed wherever attainable, to
a very great extent. A superphosphate
made of mineral phosphates and oil of
vitriol—or, from fresh bones, treated in
the same way, will furnish the necessa
ry amount of phosphoric acid, and in a
soluble form. Lime, if not already in
the soil, should be applied at the com
mencement of every rotation, ten bush
els for each crop, or 40 or 50 bushels for
the whole rotation, being amply suffi
cient, generally, for the necessities of
tho soil.
Professor Tyndall has this noble pas
sage in his just published Forms of Wa
ter [page 180]: “In science, opinion
ought to content us only so long as pos
itive proof is unattainable. The love of
repose must not prevent us from seek
ing this proof. There is no sterner con
science than scientific conscience, and
it demands in every possible case the
substitution for private conviction of de
monstration which shall be conclusive
to all.” This is solid and most weighty
truth, which is too apt to bo forgotten
by the devotees of a narrow individual
ism.
Curious and Übevul Crow.— J. Sur
der, of Virginia, owns a crow which
serves-as a substitute for dogs, cats and
all other domestic sentinels. Ho des
troys every frog about the well; allows
a mouse no chance for his life; drives
hawks from the poultry, and bids fair to
act as the best squirrel dog in the conn*
try. He readily spies tho squirrel, ei
ther upon the fenco or on tbe trees, and
with a natural antipathy to the squirrel
tribe, bis shrill, keen note is readily da
tcctod by his owner accompanied by
rapid dart up and down, and the owner
is thus led to tho game. The most re
markable feature about tbe crow is tliat
ho invariably keeps five or six days’ ra
tions ahead of timo, well concealod.
Deep Sea Soundings. —Tho English
governmen t has just organizod a deep
sea sounding expedition, the results of
which will pe observed with interest by
all friends of scionce. Nothing of the
kind on so grand a scale has ever before
boon attempted. It is said that noth
ing that science can suggest and skill
supply is wanting to make the expedition
tho most complete in all its details that
lias over been fitted out. The Challen
ger, the vessel employed in this career
of cciontific research, has lately proved
her stability and seaworthiness in very
heavy gales on the British coasts.
Some forty years ago tho British ship
Beagle, under tho command of the dis
tinguished Fitzroy, circumnavigated
tho globe in the interests of science, and
more recently tho Austrian frigate No
vara did the same. But more impor
tant results may be looked for from the
present expedition, because of the in
crease of knowledge and the advantage
of better appliances.
In tbe New York Legislature, on
Wednesday last, bills wore introduced
for tho abolition of the usury iaws.
