An Indiana editor ucciiucd to publish
the proceedings in a divorce case for two

The resolution of Prince Bismarck to
summon the Catholic bishops who refuse
to comply with the government measures
to tender their resignations, will greatly
tend to inflame the war between his gov

sequences.
A World Washington correspondent
says that a New England Senator has
prepared & bill to introduce as soon as
Congress meets, to abolish the national
banking system and redeem its notes by

Fair Receipts.—According to Moore’s
Rural New Yorker, the cash receipts of
the late State Fair of the State of New
York, at Albany, were forty thousand
dollars. The receipts of the Georgia
State Fair at Macon last week were, we
understand, about twenty-five thousand.
Comparing the population and wealth of
the two so-called “Empire States,” Geor

Sale of Iron Lands.—The Knoxville
Press and Herald learns from a citizen of
Chattanooga that a fow days ago a party
of English gentlemen, representing great
wealth, purchased from Col. Hoskins, ef
Kentucky, about four thousand acres of
land, adjacent to Bell’s Landing, on the
Tennessee river, about thirty-five miles
from Chattanooga, for which they paid
$125,000. ' It is the intention of the pur
chasers to proceed to the development of
the iron wealth of their purchase.
Gov. Moser, of South Carolina, has ex
pressed himself in favor of the issue of
"one million dollars in bills receivable
for the purpose of relieving the financial
embarrassment of the people—said bills
to be taken by the State in payment of
taxes." The business men of South Car
olina are opposed to the issue of more
paper, which must necessarily become
greatly depreciated from the face value,
especially as they believe that the finan
cial embarrassment which prompts the
recommendation is confined to Moses and
his gang of carpet-bag plunderers.
Some men carry their regard for the
law to excessive lengths; for example, a
man in Newburyport, Mass., who was
lately visited by his aged father. The
old gentleman took with him a small dog,
which had been his pot and companion!
The son objected to this dog because it
cost him nearly a cent a day to feed him
during his father’s visit. Thereupon the
sbn went to the authorities and made
complaint against his father that he had
an unlicensed dog. The old man was
rested and fined $20; and having no
money ne wa: taken to jail, where he re-
maiinxi at the last accounts.

Notes Concerning the Fair.
It would require weeks of patient and
critical examination to go over and de
scribe in proper terms, the vast number
of beautiful objects which have been on
exhibition, covering to a great extent the
vegetable and mineral kingdom, and the
whole domain of the fine arts, manufac
tures and skilled industry. Several vol
umes might be filled with descriptions of
the magnificent machinery, farming
utensils, paintings, elaborate needle work
and embroidery, and the multitudinous
specimens of the handiwork of male and
female which embrace almost every de
partment and article that can even be
imagined. But the limita of a newspa
per, and the hurried inquisitions of edi
tors and reporters are utterly inadequate
to the task. We would state, however,
that all the departments were fall, and
most admirably represented.
Thus, in agriculture were to be seen
many neat packages of cotton and sweet

visitor.

And Still the Work Goes On.—The
Covington Enterprise reports the burn

houses of Dr. W. A. Perry and Mr. Jos.
Perry, both of Newton county—the
former losing gin house, screw, and eleven
bales of cotton, and the latter nine bales.
Eight gin houses have been burned in the
county this season the Milledgeville Every

Irvin’s gin house in Baldwin county, with
seven, and Mr. James Reynold’s gin

The Every Saturday also reports the
accidental killing by Mr. J. C. Huff, of
that county, of a negro man with whom
he was out hunting on Friday.
The Early County News man has this
to say of long sermons :
We do not like long sermons; never
saw any one who did; hut many people
are afraid to say so. Sermons should be
good things, but it is a rare case for a
long sermon to be good throughout.
They are scarcely more entertaining than
long editorials in country newspapers.
The advantage, if any there be, is on the
side of the editorials, for we can read
them, as we may elect; but, if caught
by a long sermon, between the pulpit and
the door, we have no remedy but to hear
it.
One of the editors of the Chronicle and
Sentinel, who was here last week, tele
graphed this item to his paper on Friday:
The Smith-Johnson correspondence is
still progressing. Gov. Smith has writ
ten his last letter. An effort is being
made to arrange the matter.
The Constitutionalist, of Sunday, says:
The Macon Fair.—From Mr. Jona
than M. Miller, our correspondent W. M.
S., and other competent judges, we learn
that the Macon Fair was decidedly the
grandest exhibition of the kind ever
seen in the South, and a monument of
credit to Mayor Huff and the enterpris
ing citizens of our sister municipality.
We congratulate the people of Macon
upon their prowess and progress. They
deserve to have the State Fair aa a per
petual privilege. To them the laurels
are justly due.—
“They won them well and may they wear them
long!”
We don’t know so well about the “per
petual privilege” part of the above com
pliment. That is a matter for future
and very serious consideration. Let us
see last week’s figures before deciding. -
The Chronicle and Sentineljof Satur
day, says Capt. J. J. Gregg, of that
city, who went to Europe some weeks
since to interest English capitalists in
some new manufacturing enterprises
that have been projected for Augusta,
has returned home without having ac
complished his mission. The capitalists.
didn’t like the looks of things here just
now, and preferred to keep their invest
ments at home. There were parties,
however, who intimated that they would
be willing to invest in manufacturing
enterprises in this section to the amount
of three hundred thousand dollars or more.
The Constitutionalist reports money
more abundant in Augusta last week from
the large sales of cotton and the payment
of dividends by the National Bank of,
Augusta, the Augusta factory and the 1
Gainesville factory. During the week
some Bales of Augusta bonds were made
at $82 and $85.

Hard Times and no Money in
Georgia.
All the towns are as hard up as Colum
bus. None of the big wholesale houses
in Macon are doing anything. Aproprie-
tor of one of the largest wholesale estab
lishments in the State told a friend of
ours it was hardly worth while to open
his doors, as the sales did not pay the
salaries of his clerks. The same condi
tion exists in Griffin. Merchants ore
taking cotton for the payment of -debts.
In Atlanta the situation is as bad as any
where else, if not worse. A general
crash is feared. Everywhere yon meet
bine and lengthened faces. In Macon,
Macon and Brunswick railroad money is
used. Going to Atlanta you find Forsyth
money; then Burnsville money; then
Griffin money; and further up local cer
tificates. Greenbacks are never shown
yon, except as a curiosity. Along the
railroads you see the fields white with
cotton, and not a leaf upon the stalks.
In some fields not a hand is* picking.
Should a heavy, beating rain come, large
? nantities of cotton would be lost.—
Columbus (Ga.) Sun.
We have seen the above once or twice
before floating around in onr exchanges.
The writer has certainly drawn on his
imagination as to Macon. True, the
large wholesale houses of Macon have
not done as large a business this season
as usual on account of the universal
financial derangement, but they all,
without exception, have done even better
than they had any right to expect. We
venture the assertion that the wholesale
houses of Macon have done as much if
not more business, on a perfectly safe
basis this season, than those of any other
city of Georgia, and we know that their
standing and credit are as solid as those
of any at the South. If the credit of any
merchants in the South stands higher
than that of the merchants of Macon, we
should like to know where they live.
The Sim also exaggerates the scarcity of
greenbacks aa a part of the circulating
medium in this section, and by
implication seeks to convey the
idea that Macon and Brunswick
change bills are our only currency.
Greenbacks have been scarce here, as
everywhere, for several weeks, but never
so scarce as to be shown as a cariosity.
There are other exaggerations in this ex
tract from the Sun, but we do not care to
notice them. We regard the whole
statement, however, as ill-considered and
unwise, and calculated to do much harm
to Georgia credit: as proof of which we
need only say that the extract in question
was clipped from a St. Louis paper by a
member of one of the largest provision
hnues of that city, and forwarded to one
or their agents now here with the signif
icant question: How is ibia p .
Labor Troubles.
The labor question is taking a very
sharp issue in many parts of the country
under pressure of the money stringency.
Railways and extensive manufactories
are reducing wages and curtailing hours
of labor under kke practical idea of tiding
their force through the winter with as
little pressure upon themselves as possi
ble ; hut in many places the workmen re
fuse to accept these abatements, and pre
fer the desperate risk of no employment
at alL
It is a great mistake. * At such a crisis,
the rule that “half a loaf is better than
no bread,” must bo accepted by all classes.
Employes and employers alike must take
what they can get and make the best of
it. The proernstean rules of Labor Unions
must go down before a stem necessity
which overides all such arbitrary regula
tions.
In Knoxville last Saturday night, the
employes on the railroads there all struck
in re-istance to a reduction of hours and
pay, and the business of the roads was
suspended a few hours. The passenger
trains were stopped, and passengers took
up quarters for the night in the train.
Next day, however, new officers and train
hands were substituted, and the old em
ployes were left without resources.
Strikes have now few terrors for em
ployers, because many of them prefer to
8top business, which at the very best will
be profitless, and the most are compelled
largely to reduce their force from the
mere impossibility of paying it. The
threatened strikes are wretched absurd
ities growing out of “ Society” rules and
regulations wholly unsuited to such
times as these, and absolutely imprac
ticable. When trade is prostrate, me
chanical labor is as much a drag on the
market as any commodity for which
there is no demand, and combinations
cannot alter the fact, or prevent the in-
I evitable consequences.
I Let workmen in their own interests lay
this truth to heart, and not aggravate
their own misfortunes or sufferings by
maintaining an idle fight with the laws
of trade. It is a sad reflection that prob
ably half a million skilled workmen will
j he thrown out of employment the ap
proaching winter. These will represent
a most valuable population of at least
two and a half million souls, a large por
tion of whom must perhaps depend wholly
or in part on charity for subsistence
through the winter.
Gnano not the Excrement of
Sea Birds.
The long-received opinion that guano
is the deposit of myriads of sea birds, ac
cumulating through long ages, is render
ed untenable by the recent investigations
of Dr. HabeL After treating the guano
with an acid, microscopical and chemical
examination revealed that the insoluble
residue was composed of fossil sponges
and other marine animals and plants pre
cisely similar in constitution to such as
still exist in those seas. The fact that
the anchors of ships in the neighborhood
of the guano islands often bring up guano
from the bottom of the ocean, is quite in
opposition to the prevalent belief. Dr.
Habel therefore considers that the de
posits of guano must he the result of the
accumulation of fossil plant? and animals
whose organic matter has been trans
formed into nitrogenous substance, the
mineral portion remaining intact.
Col. B. G. Lockett.
A report of the death of this gentle
man, from malignant fever, in Albany,
was brought up the Southwestern road
on Saturday night and seemed to be so
well authenticated that we put it in print.
But the whole community was rejoiced
to learn next day that his disorder had
taken a favorable turn, and the prospects
of recovery were good. We trust that
later intelligence may be still better and
announce him out of' danger. The State
can illy spore so energetic, intelligent
and valuable a citizen as Col. Lockett.
THE SEVENTH AND LAST DAT.
The End ef the Great Expealtlea ef
. 1873.
The Fair Grounds last evening appear
ed in strange contrast with what they
•were last week. Then all was brilliance
and animation; but yesterday'riosed
upon a scene of desolation. The beauti
ful Tia.Ha had been dismantled of all their
beauty; the piles upon piles of costly
goods had been spirited away almost as
if by magic; the floral treasures were
gone; works of art which had made the
walls so brilliant for a week were gone
also, and comparatively little was left
to tell that one of the greatest exposi
tions ever held in Georgia had just closed.
The attendance at the Park yesterday
nc ini j was composed in the main of ex-
! bito who went thither to remove their
goods. In the afternoon, however, about
a thousand persons went in to see the
races which were to wind up the show.
PREMIUMS.
The committees not having all re
ported, we are unable, as yet, to give a
full list of the premiums awarded; but
hope to do so at an early day.
Messrs. Singleton, Hunt & Co. took
three premiums on their display of boots
and shoes; one for the best display, ono
for the best hand-made work and one for
the best hand-made brogans for planters.
The goods they exhibited were all selec
ted from their stock and they showed no
sample which cannot be duplicated from
their store. Their competitors were Mr.
E. P. Strong and Mr. Jacob Schall, both
of whom made exceedingly handsome
displays.
Messrs. R. Findley’s Sons took two
medals, one on their Eclipse Cotton Press
and one for the best display of planta
tion machinery. They made one of the
best shows on the ground, exhibiting
nothing which was not manufactured in
their shops. We congratulate them
upon their success as exhibitors.
Messrs. Walker & Dobbs had one of
the finest displays on the ground. They
selected an immense amount of fine
crockery, plated goods, cutlery, etc., from
their stock and made a show that would
have tempted mostdealers in such goods.
We would almost’ have imagined that
they had emptied their store to make
this show, and yet it showed no signs of
depletion. They deserve the highest
praise for tbe interest they manifested in
the fair.*
THE RACES. .
Four races came off yesterday after
noon. The first was a running race,
mile heats, the best three in five, for a
purse of $500, open to the world; no
second money. Messrs. Bacon & Co. en
tered Frank Hampton; W. G. Harding,
of Tennessee, entered Mariposa, and. G.
C. Napier entered a gray gelding not
named. Frank Hampton won in three
straight heats—time 1.51}, 1.48} and
1.54}. Mariposa was second and the
Cray third.
The second race was for three year aids,
for a parse of $150, $100 to the first
horse and $50 for the second. Mile heat

and Pretty-by-Night third. The second
heat was won by Mozelle. Time 1.50},
Quartette second, Pretty-by-Night

decide the race and was won by Mozelle.
Time 1.58.
The next race was a mile dash for-two
year olds, for a purse of $100, $75 to the
first horse and $25 the second. Mr.
Hagie entered the sorrel filly Darter, and
Col. A. S. Hamilton entered a sorrel filly
not named. The latter won the dash.
Time 2.29. H. Wood’s chesnut colt was
entered, but did not start.
The fourth, last and most amusing of
all, was a mule race, mile heats, best two
in three, for a purse of $100—$75 to tho
first mule and $25 to the second. A, S.
Hamilton entered bay mule Kite, G. C.
Napier entered Cocklebnr, and Sam Salter
entered Throw’d-Joe-Warren. The first
heat was won by Throw’d-Joe-Warren.
Time 2.29, Kite second and Cocklebtfr
third. The second heat was won by Kite.
Time 2.30, Throw’d ; Joe-Warren second
and Cocklebur third. The third and last

■trufclfnf for Life In the Pacific
Ocean—Three Miles Hlarh, and the
Masterly Current Undiscovered.
From ths San Francisco Chronicle, October 19.]
A balloon ascension from the City Gar
dens, by “Prof. Duret,” was advertised to
place yesterday. Early in the morn
ing the inflation of the mammoth balloon
“New World,” belonging to Prof. Lay,was
commenced. The main pipe belonging to
the San Francisco Gas Company running
into the gardens is- but small, and the
balloons therefore, - filled slowly. When
the hour advertised for the asM-nsion ap
proached, it was ascertained tfifflt the ad
vertised balloonist, whose name is not
“Duret,” but C. H. Hull, was not going
up. AmOng the passengers billed for the
excursion, however, was a Chronicle re
port^ W. W. Austin, who had made two
balloon ascensions. When the reporter
came upon the ground and found that
the affair was likely to prove a fiasco, he
volunteered to take charge of the ascen
sion himself, and under his guidance the
Ascension was made. At 3 o’clock there
was not sufficient gas in the balloon, and
a delay of one hour was found to be
necessary. The balloon really required
45,000 cubic feet of gas, yet at 4 o’clock
there was but 30,000 cubic feet of gas
in it. This was considered sufficient
to carry two passengers, and the Chroni
cle reporter and Edwin H. Clough stepped
into the bosket. The balloon shot upward
with lightning velocity. In two minutes
San Francisco, with its citizens and
houses, looked like a panorama in the dis
tance. Market street was clearly defined,
and the other streets, from the immense
height, seemed to intersect it at almost
right angles. The people below looked
like pigmies and the houses were as toy
shops for children. Far away to the right
spread the bay. It was to the balloonists,
a mere sheet of burnished silver, Be
yond were the mountains, grand in their
solemnity, but seeming like so many
molehills to the voyagers in the air. To
the left was, apparently, a thick mist.
The compass at this time told the direc
tion of the mist. It was directly west,
and the commander of the balloon sur
mised at onoe that this was the Pacific
Ocean. For the first two. minutes tue
balloon drifted rapidly toward this mist.
The reporter’s hand was on the valverope,
ready to poll it any moment. But sud
denly, as the balloon rose, the wind of the
upper air change’'!, and the air-ship was
driven rapidly toward the east. Over Ihe
busy city, in which thousands were gaz
ing upon the puny-looking monster, the
balloon swept. San Francisco Bay seemed
to be approaching the air-ship. Alcatraz
was just beneath the basket, and tbe
course was still eastward. The com
mander began to flatter himself that he
had found the "eastern current,” and in
dulged in visionary hopes of reaching
New York on the next morning. Up, up,
went the balloon, and eastward, eastward
was its course. The bay now glistened
in the declining sun, and, looking down
from the basket, the reporter saw that
he was above the middle of it. Three
minutes more with a favorable wind
would have carried him beyond the nar
row expanse of waters over to the coast
range. Once among the foot-hills the
descent would have been easily and safely
accomplished. Again the commander
and his companion flattered themselves
that all was well, and as a sort of con
gratulatory sacrifice the companion drank
a bottfo of soda, six of which had been
furnished by Mr. Stevens, the proprietor
of the Gardens. It was now twenty-five
minutes past 4 o’clock—just five minutes
after the great ascension. The barome
ter showed that the voyagers were just
one mile and a half above sea level. The
air-current still went steadily to the east,
and tho great theory of an eastern cur-
r ,-nt seemed about to be established. The
air-ship, released from the fetters of earth,
seemed to soar aloft with joy and glad
ness. Up, up, it went, and at half-past
4 the barometer marked an altitude of
two miles. Still going eastward across
the bay, the basket of the balloon was
spinning round like a top, and it was a
difficult matter to determine which way
the balloon was really going. The com
pass appeared to point in all .directions.
Still it was possible to make an estimate
| by the land-marks, and up to this time

FOR
TAKEN INTERNALLY—Half a teaspoonful
diluted in water, is a pleasant drink—stimulating

APPLIED EXTERNALLY—when there is
pain or inflammation, affords instant ease.
STOPS PAIN quicker than morphine, chloro

IF SUDDENLY 8EIZED with pain, one tea-
spoonful in a glass of water, will, in a few min,

PERSONS SUBJECT to apnoplexy, heart dis

in three minutes, remove all difficulty.
Radway’s Ready Relief
Its Grand Power In the Prevention
and Core of Festllentlal and
Contagious Diseases.
It is in diseases where immediate and absolute
assistance and relief is required wherein this rem
edy proves its superior, and we might say, super
natural power m saving life and promoting
health
In cases where epidemic diseases, pestilence,
small-pox, fevers, etc., exist, this remedy proves
the potent power of a disinfectant, neutraliser
and cure. No one that uses the Ready Relief
when Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, typhoid fever,
small-pox, (Jiptheria, etc., prevail in a communi
ty, will be seized with these diseases; and if
seized when using it, will be cured if the direc
tions are followed. Simple as this remedy is, it
possesses the elements of mre of the most violent,
painful and fatal diseases that scourge the earth.

French Political Affairs.
French advices yesterday indicate that
the great governmental crisis would take
qn indefinite postponement by the almost
common consent of all parties to prolong
the MacMahon administration. The
National Assembly meets to-morrow, and
seems determined equally to maintain its
own existence and the Presidency of
Marshal MacMahon and the present non
descript government. This is no doubt
the solution of affairs most favorable to
the peace and prosperity cf France.
A convention of farmers has been held
in San Francisco to consider measures for
procuring legislative action for the exter
mination of squirrels. One farmer esti
mated that he had lost over one thousand
dollars in a year by the voracious little
animals, and the losses of nineteen farm
ers aggregated $9,672. The bounty sys
tem has been found impracticable, bnt it
is thought that the squirrels can be de
stroyed by a general poisoning campaign.
Messrs. Walker & Dobbs at
the Fair.
Yesterday after the crowd had well
nigh deserted Floral Hall, we had an ex
cellent opportunity to scrutinize carefully
the extensive contributions of this enter
prising house. They are simply gorgeous
and magnificent in every particular. In
the centre of the arena occupied by them
stands a dining table elegantly furnished
for a banquet, with splendid cut-glass
goblets, china service and massive silver
plate. All around on the walls, and
beautiful silver-mounted show
cases, magnificent table cutlery, silver
spoons, cups, forks, pitchers, etc., are dis
played, besides bronze statuary and a
great variety of exquisite fancy goods.
The contributions of this house were uni
versally admired and their stock of goods
on sale is one of the best in the South.

They made one of the most beautiful and

deserve much credit for their handsome
contribution to the Fair as to their dis
play. A $50 greenback with the signa-

Hop at the Brown House.
The Georgia State Agricultural Fair
Hop will take place at the Brown House,
Wednesday night. It is expected to be
a most brilliant social event. *
Within two minutes, however, the bal
loon began to verge toward the westward.
! The “mist” in the distance became more
apparent. At this time the air-ship must
have been traveling at a great speed. The
mist the commander took to be the sea,
and he at once attempted a descent.
They were hovering just over the Golden
Gate. It was evident to the Chronicle
man that the only course left was to
ascend. Accordingly ballast was thrown
out, anl the air-ship once more rose
among the clouds. Up for three miles
the balloon ascended. Then a current of
wind blowing directly to the north-west
struck it. Suddenly, and without any
warning, the car began to descend. It
was at this time about three miles high;
and it came down with a rapidity which
would have been startling to any one but
an experienced balloonist. Bag after
bag of sand was cast into the sea, but
still the balloon was sinking. Next went
the lunch which had been preparing for
the landing. Overcoats followed, and,
with a sigh and almost a tear, the soda
water was sacrificed. Still the air-ship
came rapidly down, and the anchor, as a
last resort, was cast into the yawning
sea. A dash, a splurge, and the basket
touched the water. Tue balloon careened
over, and saved the lives of its inmates
by keeping the basket afloat. Through
the raging waves of tho ocean the basket
ploughed its way, dragged by the huge
globe of gas. Clough was on the top
clinging to the ropes. The Chronicle
man, unfortunately, was at the bottom of
tho basket, and as it rolled around,
tearing its way throngh tho waves, he
was battered and beaten, and carried be
neath the waters, emerging in the con
dition of a ducked duck. Said his com
panion:
“Cling on, old boy; there’s a boat
coming to us.”
Two sturdy men bent their muscles to
the utmost, and soon tho boat was along
side the dismantled balloon. • Grab
the boat,” cried one of the men. Clough
grabbed and was soon on board the boat.
The Chronicle man tried to grab, too,
but he was further off and the boat
veered off. Relieved of the weightof one
man the balloon at once arose carrying
the Chronicle man with it. Up, up, the
balloon went, lightened and bouyant.
The reporter saw that it was going out to
sea. His only hope was to pull the
valve rope, bring it down again, and
trust to the boat. "Bring her down,”
shouted one of the boatmen; I’ll follow
you.” She came down with a vengeance,
and with it the reporter. Once aga.n he
was immersed in the waters of the
Pacific.
“ Get out of the basket,” shouted the
boatmen; “get on the outside; we’ll
have you all right yet.” The reporter
tried to obey instructions, knowing full
well that all hope of -saving the balloon
was gone. He was so exhausted, howev
er, that it was utterly impossible foi him
to extricate himself-from the intricate
meshes of the basket.
A pair of hands grasped the reporter’s
head, another pair took his right arm, and
still another his left arm. He was fairly
dragged from the balloon. The moment
his weight was taken from the air-ship it
sprang aloft, shooting away until it ap
peared a mere dot in the distance.

Every dropof tho SARSAPARILLIAN RES01

the vigor of life, for it .repairs the wastes of the

If tho patient, daily becoming reduced by the

repairs the same with new material made from
healthy blood—and this the SARSAPARILLIAN
will and does secure—a cure is certain; for when
once this remedy commences its work of purifica

patient will feci himself growing better and strongs

and flesh and weight increasing. Not only does
the SARSAPARILLIAN RESOLVENT excel all

it is the only positive cure for
Kidney and Bladder Complaints,
Uriuaiy and Womb Diseases, Gravel, Diabetes,

Bright’s Disease, Albuminuria, and in all cases
where there are brick dust deposits, or the water
is thick, cloudy, mixed with substances like The

is a morbid, dark, bilious appearance and white

For several years I had been-a3tfcled with some
trouble m the bladdef and urinary organs, which

Fertilizing Compound!
This i fertilizer is again offered to the
public in its original purity. The stand-. j
ard has been keptnp in every respect
and its intrinsic value has again bees
demonstrated during the past summer.
It is recommended, because:
“It is permanent in its effects in retim
ing to the soil the fertilizing ingredients
taken from it by excessive cropping.
“It gives to cotton the food necessary
to sustain life while-fruiting, therefore,
what is called rust seldom occurs where
this fertilizer Ls used.
“It is the best restorer of wom oat
lands known to agricultural chemistry.
“Its effects are immediate in the pro
duction of large returns the first season.
‘It is good for all crops, on any soil,
being pure unadulterated plant-food.
‘It is as good as the best, and is the
least expensive of any known good fertil-
r.
‘It is manufactured at the South and
almost entirely of Southern materiaL
‘It utilizes the ammonia found on
every farm which ip the most expensive
part of all complete fertilizers.”
We subjoin a few of the many certifi
cates in our possession, as to its value,

it, and to whom we would refer.
