The first Quarterly Meeting for the
Thomson Circuit, M. E. Church, South,
was held at this place Saturday and Sun
day last, conducted by Rev. Mr. Bigliam,
Presiding Elder, of Una, the Augusta
District. The attendance was large, and
tlie services quite interesting. Mr.
Bigliam filled the pulpit with his usual
ability, preaching faeries of practical,
aarnest, forcible sermons.
An Accident.
Mr. Fletcher Farr, formerly of this, but
>ew of Columbia county, met with a se
rious and painfull aonident last week.
He was out hunting, as we are informed,
and Having shot off one barrel of his gun
was resting the weapon on the ground,
holding it with his right hand over the
muzzle. In this position the remaining
barrel was discharged, fe/vrfnlly wound
ing ami maugling his hand. The Ixmes
of the ihumb and several fingers were
broken or shot away, and the hand per
manently disabled.
The Weather.
With the exception of a few days about
Christmas, we have had, so far, really
no Winter at all in this section—no snow,
no elect, no ice. At present, and for
several days past, the weather has been
decidedly summary. Grass, shrubs and
flowers are rapidly developing, and, in
aonae localities, fruit trees are in fall
bloom. Overcoats have beeu discarded,
and airy, dresses, linen pasta and palm
leaf fans at* in demand,
1. Our friend, Mr. Smith, who knows
more about the weather than Old Probs,
and all his scientific staff, says that the
Osama is entirely too previous, and pre
dicts a failure at the fruit crop. Let us
hope that for once in his life he is mis
taken.
The Slate University.
The rumors mentioned in tlie follow
ing card were never published in this
paper. In fact, although the reports
were rather current, we attached no im
portance to them,. We publish the card,
however, with pieasure.
Missus. Enrons : In a recent issue
of your journal, we observed an editorial
» .ting that rumors unfavorable to the
condition of the University of Georgia,
especially with reference to its discip
line, had reached you.
We lieg leave to say that nothing has
occurred in tlie present collegiate year,
which is at all unusual in the history of
colleges. Indeed, the conduct of the
young men has been so exemplary that
no ease of discipline has been necessary.
We wrtrc 4 you this in the confidence
that yon would not intentionally do in
justice to the University.
By order and in behalf of the Pruden
tial Committee.

The Obsrrvntor.
Iu onr last issue we gave some extracts
from tlie “Village Wreathe,” published
in Wrightsbom, Ga., and dated June 24,
1834. Since then we have read a copy
of the Obaervator, a weekly newspaper,
bearing date March 14th, 1807, and
"priuted every Saturday at 12 o’clock by
Samuel-Wright Minor, Editor and Pro
prietor, Greeneshoro’, Ga. It is a quaint
looking old sheet, about 14 by 20 inches,
and contains I<> columns of reading mat
ter and advertisements. Concerning the
latter the editor says :
“Varions complaints having been cir
culated ceneerntug the prices of adver
tisements in my psjier, and mauy, who,
with the estahli.-hment of tlie printing
(>rsss at this place, particularly for the
iienefit of Gnsene and adjacent comities,
have, in particular manner solicited a re
daction of these charges to the above
mentioned rates; let me remind yon
that these rates are considerably less
than those of Augusta. And n j other
motive, than that of fame, has induced
me to embrace the solicitation.”
There are mauy interesting articles in
the among others ail ac
count of the passage, through Warren
eouu of » squad of soldiers, with Aarou
Bi«r awrier arrest for high treason, which

ths East side of Broad Street, second

with* large stock of everything iu the
crockery line he is prepared to furnish
the trade, wholesale and retail, at prices
to suit the times. With Mr. Bligh’s
kum. ledge of the business and facilities,
lie may confidently expect a liberal share
of patronage. See his card in another

The Pieayun* Train.—Augusta’s Op
portunity.
This long-desired and much, coveted
train now makes its daily trips from Cn
mak to Augusta, passiug our town at
7 o'clock in the morning, and returning
arrives at 7:80 in the evening, thus af
fording a schedule long desired by our
citizens. We do not know the prime
cause which actuated the railroad author
ities—whether because they really thought
it would pay, or hoping that it might
pay, concluded to try the experiment for
the satisfaction of those who have beeu
so urgent arid persistent in their appeals
for the extension of the schedule to this
point.
Speaking for our community, we-are
confident that our people will exteud a
liberal patronage ; but, while this is true
we will not realize our expectations if
some of the moneyed men of Augusta do
not avail themseives of the opportunity
now presented for making investments
here which would not only benefit us,
but afford pleasnre and remunerate those
who do it. We therefore invito the at.
teution of those who have surplus cash
to come and examine onr surroundings,
and judge for themselves of the society,
health, social and religious privileges,
water, etc., etc.
We would urge our real estate owners,
also, to let it be known that they will of
fer property at tow figures, remembering
that by so doing they remove what has
heretofore been a great obstacle iu the
way of the general prosperity uud growth
of our town.
Iu a future issue we will enumerate
some of the advantages offered by Thom
som as a home for the families of the
business meu of as well as en
terprises'which would pay handsome div
idends on investments of capital.

OYSTEH SHELL. LIME.
Editors Journal :
I notice nmong the advertisements of
one of our enterprising merchants, that
of Oyster Shell Lime for agricultural
purposes, and I am glad to see that some
of onr furmers are turning their atten
tion to it os a means of making “two
blades grow where only ene grew before. ’•
Unless ours is a country very different
from nil others, lime cannot be used with
out great effect on our so ; I nnd with sat
isfaction to our farmers, and if we begin
with the ixperieuce of others and ob
serve for ourselves it will no doubt lead
to permanent improvement.
I notice, however, that the Agent
claims that lime is tin article for com
posting with cotton seed nud stable ma
nure. 1 converted with Mr. Styron, the
manufacturer of the Oyster Shell Lime,
on tins point, nnd find that his authority
for so advertising is based on the opin
ion of a gentleman who edited the Jtural
Carolinian for 1875. I know nothing of
chemistry myself, but find tliat chemists
do not sustain tlie assertion that it is
good for comi>ostiog with nitrogenous
substances, such as cotton seed nud sta
ble manure. Professors White and Pen
dleton, of the State University, both
pronounce decidedly aguinst it, though
they say that by the use of charcoal or
land plaster, in excess, iu the compost, tlio
ammonia which the lime causes to es
cape will be retained.
In those countries where lime is largely
nsed, it is mainly employed as atop-dress
ing. Generally, when some green crop has
been turued under, or ou small grain
crops, a free use of lime will often pre
vent rust both in cotton and small grain.
Twenty pounds of salt to one hundred of
lime will, ou most lands, increase the
good effect.
While I pretend to have no experience
as to the use of lime, the ideas of those
who can speak with authority are of im
portance. They advocate the use of
lime on all lands containing much vege
table matter aud on stiff soil, such as the
tlie pipe clay lands seen in most neigh
borhoods, (containing much latent vege
table matter,) aud on lands producing
the sorrel. Iu many locations lime is ap
plied sometimes in as large proportions
as seventy buslielß to the acre. Such an
application is sufficient for a number of
yearn. I hope those who try it will give
results in Journal next fall.
Lime should never lie • Used before
slacking. The Oyster Shell Lime now
sold in Thomson, I team, has beeu
slacked by the manufacturers.
The price of agricultural lime at pres
ent is much too high, both as to original
cost as well as good policy. Being a
new fertilizer, of little cost, and mainly
slow iu its beet results, it should be put
at the lowest figure to induce farmers to
purchase and to enable them to wait for
those good results which show them
selves after continued rise. When such
is done, and lime is in general use, we
will have latger and more certain crops—
more grain—fewer debts aud less taxes,
and Messrs. Editors, more readers to the
JOURNAL.

i Applied in quantities nut less than sto 80 bushels per acre For Compost Heaps it is
; invaluable, and to the planters of Georgia this plan of using Lime is specially recom
mended, to bring up our State to the front rank in Agricultural matters. The cheap
ness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME will recommend it to every farmer who has used
fertilizers largely for the last two years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its long years
of service, acting as it does for years After its application is forgotten. In soils abound
ing in vegetable substances the manurial quality in Lime is more fully recognized. Ni
trogen abounds in all soils of aommon fertility, but little of it is available—Lime un
locks this storehouse of Nitrogen and renders At readily available for plant food.
A splendid and economical compost fertilizer may be made by thoroughly mixing one
: bushel of Salt and three of Lime, and let mixture stand 6 to 8 weeks before using.
! This is specially adapted to using in drill for Turnips.
The cheapness and facility of procuring this wonderfh! renovator of the soil ought to
make it one of the first objects of the farmer (who desires to improve his land) to ob
tain it. Nothing in the way of a fertilizer or renovator has been found equal to it. as

FERTILIZING COMPOUND
rPriIS COMPOUND is made frojn the highest grade of fish-bone Phosphate, and
1 mixed with chemicals, producing Phosphate of Lillie, Phosphoric Acid, end all the
elements of a complete and perfect fertilize!. except Ammonia.
Ammonia is it necessary ingredient ill a complete fertilizer, but is so expensive that
a first-class article (when manufactured commercially,; is so high-priced that no funner
cun afford to use it.
An abundant supply of Ammonia is found on every farm, in raw cotton seed and ani
mal manure: therefore, by utilizing these articles of home production, every farmer
can make a reliable fertilizer on liis own place, at a small outlay of money, as good, if
not better than can bo purchased.
This Compound, oomposted with cotton seed or animal manure, as directed in tbs
formula, makes a tompUU fertilizer, rich in all the elements Of-plant food, and certain

erence to romplete commercial being less Upeiieie autl tuors certain in its results.
Professor White, the State Chemist, in hiR report of March. 1873, to the State Agricul
tural Society, places the LOGAN COMPOUND in the front rank of fortilizers, regard
less of price. Permanent benefit to the land is also a sure result from its use.
It is recommended —because :
Ist. It being ririunipaHy Phosphoric Acid and Phosphate of Lime, is pure plant
food, and iH good for all crops on any soil,
3d. It is manufactured at the South, front fish-bone and chemicals if the highest
grade, without adulteration.
3d. It permanently improves the soil, by returning to it the fertilizing ingredients re
moved by continued cropping.
4th. Its effects are immediate in llie production of largo returns the first season
sth. It is the least expensive of all, and no known Fertilizer produces a better practi
cal result r
6th. It utilizes the ammonia found on every form, thereby saves to (he farmer the
epst of this expensive ingredient.
7th. It is placed by Prof. White fin his report to the State Agricultural Society.) in the
front rank as to intrinsic value and material for plant-food.
Bth. It gives to Cotton the fowl necessary to sustain life while fruiting, thereby pre
venting whst is called “rust.” J 1
9th. It has proved satisfactory in every part of the State, by all who have used it.
The cash price for the LOGAN COMPOUND is Fifteen Dollars for six hundred
pounds, which is the quantity to compost with and make a ton of two thousand pounds
—no other expense except freight from the works near Charleston, S. C-, which freight
is paid by the purchaser. 8
