DICKSON’S Cluster Cotton . 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.

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, Troy, N. Y. LYON MANUFACTURING CO., 53 Broadway, New York. 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.

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 home.” According to the House bill for tho admission of Colorado as a State, the Territory contains 7,000,000 acres of public land subject to cultivation, has immense deposits of iron ore, a water power unequalled in the Union, and is larger than New England with Oiiio add ed. Its voting population is 20,000; it has no debt and levied no taxes last year. - -::-z=jbsxi TERMS, #2.00 PER ANNUM. NO. 7. 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. “Honor and shame from no condition rise; cot well your part, there'all the honor lies.”
