Bad Brea It.
He came town "last Thursday on a one
eyed sorrel mule. He wore an old urn;
overcoat, one hoot and one shoe, and
nothing else worth mentioning.
He seemed sorry about something,
but wa« evidently in town to do - some
shopping. He left the mule in the mid
die of the street, hitchu.f to the ground,
and then proceeded to get up n panic,
lie stepped into Dr. Hill's Drug Store.
The Doctor stepped around the counter
facing his customer, but when the man
leaned over and asked for camphor the
Doctor turned red in face, staggered
back, took his noao under his arm and
made tracks for the back-room. As soon
as he could get liis breath he yelled to
the man that he didn’t keep store, that
he didn't need camphor anyhow, that he
ought to take a jsjund of blue-mass, a
pint of arsenic, a bushel of salts and run,
but for tiod’s sake to run first. The man
looked astonished, but left and went into
Col. Bush's store. BlackieJwaß writing,
and the Col. walknd around to wait on
the man.
“Got any camfur ?”
“I’iicw ! Wiiat a smell !” exclaimed
the Colonel, and then broke through the
back window and escaped. Blackie was
astonished, but stepped around to take
the Colenel’s place.
“Got any camfur?”
Blackie just sat right down on the
floor and crawled under the counter, and
palled an empty nail-keg over his hear!
and groaned and told the man that he
was an orphan and far from home, and
was not prepared to die, and for Heaven’s
sake to leave or give him a chance to get
.to the door. And he offered the man a
free ticket to the Centennial, aud a
pound of dynamite to set down on, be
cause if be wasn’t dead he smelt like it,
and ought to lie, aud implored him to
get out before he murdered somebody,
and hollowed “fire!” and “police!” and
then Blackie commenced saying his
prayers.
The man strode out with a wild look,
forked himself over his mule and “lit
out;" muttering som‘thing about a set of
“damphools,” anil Blackie crawled out
iu the back yard, wrapped himself over
an empty barrel, aud fortweuty-tive miser
able minutes did his best to throw up
his I toot heels. He says that was the
narrowest escape of his life, and that
.jnau's breath the most outrageous, un
' merciful, infernal murderous stink of the
nineteenth century.
We haveu’t learned the man's name,
but he is believed to be a sample taster
for n guano factory.

Thomson, Ga., Feb. 22, 1876.
Messrs.- Editors ;
I Have succeeded in finding* a gentle
man that baa a cotton seed that will yield
from nine hundred to twelve hundred
i bolls cotton to the stalk without guano.
This is the kind of cotton that we have
so long needed here, iu order to make
general supply of the staple both for the
i home and foreign markets. Iu the mean
time I would like for some practical
farmer to make the calculation, how
much cotton would such variety as I
have mentioned, make to the acre, at the
; above stated yield per stalk.
Very Truly Yours,
H.

gits lull. ' The specimen Ueloie us re
minds us ol the sueielon ot a horse with
the uecE au:i head lost. It come ahoul
in this way :
During tile last cold s t -eil two neigh
bors, both of whom were of a specula
tive turn ol iniua, louuU at tho close oj
tils day, that then- easu didn’t baiuuoe to
suit them. Miserable indeed, they went
to their respective homes where the
ghost 01. poverty stareo 1 new nrtlje luce,
making each one so miserable tnutdie'
cleared his house of ait inmates and even
hashed the crockery out of doors. Both
betook themselves to uutasj sleep, after
having exhausted the vocabulary ol epi
thets against lhe*wTiole world, the flesh
aud the devil, and when morning came
it found them with then boots on, their
hair blouses, and sleeves rolled up ready
to light something. Sauntering forth
from their shanties upon the commons,
both w ith clenched fists aud each trying
to hang his leg over his ear, when cue
exclaimed :
“Whoopee ! My pap could whip your
pap and I can whip you.”
“Prove it 1 prove it !” said fighter
No. 2.
“You jes come out here es you want
yer teeth abstracted, y u white-livered
puppy, and Ili knock hair oi’u yer
wors’n bees er swarmin'.”
“You call me puppy, you red-eyed tar
rapin !”
The noise, by this time, had brought
several witnesses to the scene who posted
themselves just iu time tosee “the twain
made one flesh” (so to speak.)" Hair
and whiskers flew faster than lint cotton
from a sixty-saw Gullet Gin at full speed.
Having, by this time, a full head of
steam, all the machinery was put in mo
tion and while the “ginnin’ was going
on the stamps, bone mill, and sausage
grinder were all doing splendid work,
when finally one fellow got his finger so
far into the crusher that the speed of the
machinery was slackened enough for the
exclamation to be heard—
“ Hold on, you got my finger !”
“Umph-hu !” was the only reply.
“Won’t you let it loose ? you scoun
dred!”
“Umph-hu !” was ejaculated, as with
dosed eyes the victor pressed with re
newed strength the thumb of his antag
onist.
“Let go !” yelled the victim. “One
gentleman ne-ne-nev-naver ch-ch-dhaws
another ge-ge-gentleman’s finger. ”
The logic of this aignment was lost
upon the finger biter whose jaws ap
peared to possess the power of a Bogar
dus vise. The pressure was too great,
and with a super-human effort he re
moved his band and with it brought out
a tooth which unfortunately ieil upon
and broke the nose of the extractor.
The last seen ol the toothless man he
was lying fiat on his back while a com
petent mason was mixing mud and shap
ing brick preparatory to wailing up the
cavity.
The proceedings of the Legislature for
the past week, a synopsis of which will

THE CHEAPEST AND BEST FERTII JEER IK USE IN GEORGIA.

tu 1( LE OYSTER SHELL LIME. It is not only for one jf*r, but ita good effect*
m e seen and continues for eight or ten years. Lime is gren'tly beneficial to all Grain
l rops applied as a top dressing, and also to Potatoes and all root crops, and should be
applied in quantities not less than 6to 30 bushels per acre For Compost Henna it is
invaluable, and to the planters of Georgia this plan of using l ime is specially recom
mended, to bnag np , our State to the front rank in Agricultural matte™. The cheap
nessot ourGlblLKb HELL. 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
mg ill vegetable substances the manurial quality in I.ime is more fully recognized Ni
rogen abounds in all soils of common fertility, but little of it is available—Lime nu
locks this storehouse of Nitrogen and renders it readily available for plant food.
A splendid and economical compost fertilizer may be made by thoroughly mixing one
bushe l of Salt and three of Lime, and let mixture atand « to’ S weeks before using
1 hiH is specially adapted to using in drill for Turnips. “
Ihe cheapness and facility of procuring this wonderful renovator of the soil ought to
