The Chronicle's weather reports for the

Of the New York cotton market for tho
week the Chronicle says:
The unfavorable conditions which have
of late surrounded cotton have foxnd no
relief, but have rather been intensified
during the past week. On the one hand,
with gold tower, with foreign exchange
lower and almost unsalable, and with the
Liverpool prices for cotton tending down
wards, shipper* have found but little en
couragement, and have shown little dis
position to operate; while on the other
hand the further suspension of work by
S inners restricting to a very considera-
9 extent the demand for consumption,
at a time when the difficulty of obtaining
advances on oottoa or obtaining fund*
with which to carry it, has male its sale
imperative, could not but result in a gen
oral demoralisation of the market, mark
ed bv a daily decline in price*. Hence
we find that daring the past week then
has been great depression, which the
large receipts have tended to increase.
The price of tow middling uplands, which
were quoted last Friday at 14|c., closed-
to-day at l*|c., being a decline of l$c.
To-day. with the advance in gold, there
was a more active demand both for ex
port and consumption and the close was
with a steadier tone.

Washington. November. 7.—Represen
tative James H. Platt, of Virginia, is
here, and hAs much to say on the subject
of the late election in that State. He
charges that there was never such a dis
graceful system of terrorism and frauds
as on the day of election in many portions
««f the State, on the part of tbe Demo
crats. He says he personally witnessed
es of violenoe that would have sham
ed the worst of Tammany. Ho says ne
groes were beaten, ballot* destroyed, life
threatened, and that men were driven
awav from the polls who would have
voted the Republican ticket. He says
that in Richmond workmen in the tobacco
factories were threatened w^th discharge
if they did not vote for Keeper; and,
finally, that the result was due to fraud.
He says many arrests will be made, and
trials had under the laws of Congress.—
Telegram to the Tribune.
The Democratic majority in Virginia
was in the neighborhood of 25,000, with
two-thirds on joint ballot in the Leg
islature. which result secures an hon
est man os successor of tho scallawag
Lewis in tho Federal Senate. Read in
the light of those events, carpet-bagger
Platt, who said in the Radical convention
that ho was proud of his share in tho
bock-pay steal, ha* drawn it rather mild
ly. Ho might have put in a few actually

of them thrown into a millpond with
rocks around their necks.

Garrett’s Triumph.
As is well known, the Baltimore and
Ohio railway, managed by John W. Gar
rett, and the Pennsylvania railway, man
aged by Tom Scott, are bitter rivals,
and for years have been fighting each
other with unabated vigor. Sometimes
tho victory was with Garrett and then
with Scott—first one and then the other
being on top. It is Garrett’s time to
crow now. Scott’s road has just been
forced to repeat the dodge of a scrip in
stead of a money dividend on the last
six months* business, but the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad has paid its semi
annual dividend in cash. Tho latter
company acknowledged a large falling off
in freights, but it i* probably the only
railway corporation in the country which
is going on with its extensions; and full
gangs of laborers are laying track* up
the Valley of Virginia to Salem, and
putting down a triple track on the main
stem.
The Centennial in Macon.
We acknowledge the receipt of a num
ber of newspaper*, and excerpts from
newspapers sent by Mr. Horace J. Smith,
of the Philadelphia Press, who was a
member of the late Centennial Visiting
Committee. One of these we printed
yesterday, and all of them breathe a
friendly and cordial spirit which our peo
ple will be glad to reciprocate. Some of
the allusions are so personal that modesty
forbids their publication. We believe the
representatives of the Quaker City, and
the grand occasion which i» intended to
be a union of all the constituent elements
of this great nation, made a most agree
able impression upon every Georgian
they encountered. Their mission, true
to the ancient 1* gends of their old Com
monwealth. was peace. And amen we say.
Peace let it be, and forever.
Tke Duties of an Or^an.
The duties of a regular party organ
grinder must be often laborious and un
welcome to men of sincerity and candor.
For illustration: The New York Time*,
before the election, apparently could
not conoid its contempt for tho
Democratic predictions of heavy gain*
and propitious results j but. after
the election, the Times begins its leader
thereupon with thi* sentence; "Our read
er* will not be surprised at tho turn which
political affairs have taken.” Will some-'
body scad the Times a new supply of
candor and sincerity ? He is evidently
out of those commodities. Or perhaps
he neve:* uses, aud therefore has no need

esteemed aud
m unity.
It is of the bride, however, we wish par
ticularly to speak. Bright, intelligent,
and lovely, she is indeed one of the choic
est jewels in the happy, yet afflicted
household of which .he was a member
It may not be known to the puhlic gen
erally, that in that family, another sister,
in the early blush of womanhood, her
cheeks plump and rosy, her voice sweet
and cheery, her eyes soft and beautiful,
lies & helpless invalid bed ridden for
years. Yet some might gladly exchange
the pomp of wealth, and the thrilling ex
citement of robust health, for the couch
of this languishing sufferer. 'In her pres
ence not a trace of gloom or sa>ln.^j can
be detected. Beauteous flowers exhale
their fragrance around, the glad sunshin »
beams unobstructed into her chamber,
tender and loving hands minister to her
every wish. But it is not these that im
part that air of sanctity.'and,happiness
which pervades the coene. It is the in
effable peace and joy which have their
lodrce in a Saviour’s love, that an* a per
petual well-spring of comfort and delight
to this stricken girL And even the holy
minister of God may be edified, and learn
a lesson of faith and patience from her
example.
But now. in the midst of festal scenes
and joyous mirth, a shadow creeps athwart
the existence of the afflicted saint. This
dear sister and blooming bride, who, with
the fond mother, revered fatner and other
loved ones at home had ministered so
largely to her happiness, has cast in her
tot with another, and must leave the
paternal roof forever. Happy in the
honored husband of her choice, still her
departure brings sadness to every mem
ber of the dear circle of which ahe formed
a cherished link. It is the helpless
in the upper chamber, however, who will
feel her absence iao-t keenly. For she
may not follow that gentle sister with
admiring eyes from placa to place, and
rejoice in her new born happiness. The
realities of absence and separation only,
will be hers.
And thus it ever is, even in the most
auspicious events and occurrences of life.
There is no perfect earthly joy to be
found. Funeral notes of sadneis nnd
separation migls alas with the gleesome
chimes of marriage bells, and tears and
smiles struggle with each other on the
beaming countenance of the radiant
bride. But where heart and hand are
worthily bestowed, a* in tho present in
stance, the tears like April showers soon
pass away, and glorious sunshine and se
rene happiness obliterate their remember-
anoe.
To the happy couple wo extend our
heartiest congratulations, and wish them
the full fruition of their most ardent
hopes. And what shall be said for the
comfort of the invalid sister? Happily,
she has sources of strength and consola
tion the world wots not of. Moreover,
she is unselfish enough even to rejoice
in the assured welfare of the companion
of her childhood. So let us banish grief,
and rejoice that two loyal, loving hearts
have been made one.
The parent hive will swarm out from
time to time, and old folks must remem
ber that they too were once young, and
loved, and were wedded likewise.
Mr. Hunter Explains.
The Richmond Whig of a late date
contains a letter from Hon. R. M. T.
Hunter explanatory of his speech before
the Shenandoah Agricultural Society at
Winchester. Mr. Hunter, in response to
inquiry, says that he did not make any
proposition to pay for tho emancipated
slaves, either in substance or form, but
suggested a deposit of $400,000,000 to
the slaveholding States, without interest,
to bo loaned to the despoiled slavehold
ers in the same manner, after the model
and strictly upon the precedent of the
act of June 23.1836, depositing the sur
plus revenue of tho United States with
the different States upon the terms and
in the manner therein specified.” • •
Hr. Hunter incloses to the Whig a let
ter from a Northern gentleman, who
thinks " that a loan to the South of four
five hundred millions would have many
friends.’ The United States to loan the
amount to tho South at four per cent.,
the States to distribute to the counties
and the counties to lend to the planters
at six per cent., on “ unincumbered im
proved real estate in actual cultivation
and twice the value of the loon,” the two
per cent, excess to be paid to the Secre
tary of the Treasury annually, and to
constitute a sinking fnnd to entinguish
the principal.

A Govmrnmcnt Dnxcnvx Imdictmd
to* Passing Couirncarxrr Monmt.—Tho
Knoxville Fires* and Herald of Sunday
morning, says:
A "right smart” little sensation was
created yesterday, by the report that one
of the noted “trappers” had been trapped,
and was in durance vile. Upon inquiry,
we learned that detective Dyer, of tho
“secret service,” whose exploit* have been
heralded abroad, and upon whose testi
mony alone, a large number of citizens
of £ut Tennessee have been arrested for
counterfeiting, had been indicted in four
different cases, for “*hoving the queer,'*
by the Grand Jury of Union county, dar
ing the past week, and that he had seen
arrreated on as many capiases, by Sheriff
Gossett. We understand that he ^ave
bond for hia appearance at the next term
of Union Circuit Court.
Who shall say this is not right? The
government detectives in EostTennei
in order to worm themselves into the con
fidence of the suspected dealers in coun
terfeit greenbacks, actually went into the
business themselves, and sold counterfeit
money to them, for the purpose of induc
ing them to pass it to others, so as to
found an indictment against them. Who
the detectives superior to law?
What should shield any man who in
veigles another into thi commission of
crime— counselling, aiding apd abetting it,
from the fate of a parti ceps crimmu- ?
Eroxmu Ext ail Pmicms. —The
Knoxville Press and Herald of Sunday
says their city market house on Satur
day morning was well filled and layers
unusually numerous. The following were
the prices asked, at renal: Prime butter
25a30 cents per pound; eggs 16} cents
per doren; chickens 15a20 cents each;
turkeys 65at*) cents each; beef, quarters
5a5} cento; cuts 10 cents per pound;
■Mge 10 cent* per pound* potatoes,
vision.- in that market. They all ke^p
up -with remarkable steadiness. The
same may be said of this burg.
At the monthly court-house sales in
Elbert county last week, 1,200 acres of
land brought $22,000.
The T&lbotton Standard describes the
scene after the town council has collected
a $5 fine, as follows:
"The city treasurer was seen with
fine segar in his mouth immediately after
the coirt adjourned, while the marshal
nudged a fellow-chum under the short
ribs and gave him a sly wink. And else
where you can see a call tor "those town
tax.’ The fates preserve our municipal
fathers.”
P. W. Panmrp, who was lately dis
charged from the position of road-master
of the Georgia Railroad, for malfeasance
in offloe. has written a pamphlet attempt
ing to explain the matter. He says he
was not allowed a chance to dear him
self, and that one of the. witnesses against
him has since made affidavit that he (wit
ness) was coerced while drunk to make
statements that were not true, and of
which he had no recollection.
The Catoosa Courier says Captain W.
J. Whitsitt’s dwelling-house in Ribggold,
was entered by burglars last Saturday
night, and some valuable property taken,
among other things, a gold watch belong
ing to Mr. Charley Whitsitt, and a
watch belonging to the Rev. Mr. Leet,
who was a guest at the time. The ras
cals also got about fifty dollars in cur
rency. The same night Mr. Frank Ab-
r-on’s grocery was broken into and a
quantity of liquor stolen.
Alex Jenkins, freedmon, lives in
Spalding county and was in Griffin on
Saturday settling up his guano bills. In
two years, as he informed the editor of
the News, he'had made, with the assist
ance of his wife and a ten year old boy,
enough money upon which to live com
fortably, and $S00 to pay for land he had
bought. He takes very little stock in
politics, and none at all in whisky.
St. John (German Lutheran) Church,
Atlanta, a handsome building, was dedi
cated last Sunday. The services were
all in German.
The Atlanta Constitution says a De-
Kalb county mule with lofty aspirations
recently strayed off, and was found at
the end of two days on top of Stone Moun
tain.
Wm. A. Jube, a native of New York,
but employed in the European House, at
Savannah, was found dead in his bed last
Saturday morning. Heart disease.
One of the Atlanta papers, of yester
day, prints this telegram from Social
Circle:
Social Ciccle. Ga , November 10.
Alter three o’clock this morning a fire
was discovered in the new brick building
occupied by W. H. Stanton and V. H.
Crawley, merchants. The fire originated
in the store of Mr. Stanton, entirely con
suming the goods in both stores. Stan
ton was insured to the amount of $7,000.
Mr. Crawley was insured to the amount
of $5,000, his toss above insurance being
about $3,000. The safes of the store wore
removed after the fire was over, with the
('ontonts undamaged. Messrs. Marcus &
Brown were also burned out. Garrett A
Bro. moved all their goods from the store
to prevent them from being borne 1, with
considerable loss from stealage and break
age. Neither of the bar-rooms were in
ured at alL The brick building occupied
>y Stanton A Crawley was not insured.
The owner of it is not known to the
writer. Only the front part of Garrett A
Bro.’* building was burned. About l*alf
of the town was consumed.
Advice to Farmers.—The Griffin Star
under this head “ norates” after the fol
lowing fashion:
Farmers, as a class, get more advlco
than any other breed of cattle, and that’s
why we advise them now. We could,
with equal facility, advise merchants,
printers, butchers, preachers, faro-dealers
»nd cool hearers, but we prefer to advise
farmers. This is a good time to lay in
your winter supply of rain. Rain falling
the full moon in November wiU
wear better than any other kind of water
and will wash without fading. During
month you should also moke your ar
rangements to sell your plantations and
move to town. Every avenue of trade is
open, and immense fortunes are being
umde every two or three weeks. In re
ply to numerous letters from farmers as
to the best business to follow in town,
we will suggest a few enterprises
that always prove to be a suc-
The butcher 1 usiness is ex-
excellent. For a ten-dollar cow properly
managed will pan out at least $50, be
sides the hide, tallow and horns. The
horns are excellent to make fine-tcotli
combs, and the tail will make a splendid
waterfall. Next to the butcher business,
we recommend life insurance as the
safest and most lucrative, and it requires
no night work and very little capital A
shifty man might do well with a ten-
cent grocery, provided he had a good
well of water in the back-yard. Labor
ing as agent for a newspaper on commis- 1
sion is also a good business, and if well
followed will insure wealth and free
lunches at all the bars in town.
There are many other branches of
business which offer flattering induce
ments to fanners, to throw up the
plantation and come to town, and it is a
strange thing to us that the Grangers
don’t pass a resolution to quit farming
and move to the city. Here fortunes are
made. Here life is easy. Here every
comfort and every luxury is enjoyed,
which the poor farmers cannot reach.
We cannot enlarge upon this subject, but
we tru.^ that by next Christmas ail th©
farmers will more to town. In the next
paper, if we succeed in bilking the paper
mill out of just enough paper to publish,
we will endeavor to give tqwn folks cer
tain advice about moving to the country.

About the Murdered Cubans.
Washington, November 11.—The of
ficial information from Santiago de Cuba,
desired by the Department of State from
our consulate, has not y«,t been received,
although several days have elapsed since
he was telegraphed to, furnish all the
particulars relative to the seizure of the
Virginius and the executions which so
soon followed that event, but notwith-
,tanding the non-receipt of the informa
tion our Government has, as is already
known, taken such action in the premises
as has, so far as the Spanish Government
concerned, secured a delay of proceed-
gs relative to the captives now in cus-
dy of the Caban authorities, until all
the facts in the case shall have been as
certained.
The Spanish Minister for Foreign Af
fairs in his recent conversation with Min
ister Sickles, expressed his disapproba
tion of the summary manner of the exe
cution of the most prominent 'persons
captured with the Yirginius, and gave
him the assurance that no efforts should
be spared by the Spanish government to
show the United States that its friend
ship was more substantiate than mere
words, or language to this effect. Tho
utterances were, it is believed by those
who have been officially advised of them,
made in good faith, but the Spanish gov
ernment. like our own, admits the im
practicable character of those with whom
fc has to deal in Cuba.
WMle referring to the troubles which
now convulse Spain herself, thus render
ing her almost, if not quite powerless to
act efficiently in the affairs of Cuba and
restrain excesses which, under other cir
cumstances might be prevented, at the
Cabinet meeting to-day, there was a con
versation of long continuance with re
gard to Cuban affairs generally and the
position occupied by the United States
on that subject. Ther •* was no differ
ence among the members of the full Cab
inet as to our duty in the premises—
present and prospective.
While awaiting the necessary official
information, there is no doubt that the
Admiral and commanders of pur fleet in
Cuban waters will be, if they have not
already, been instructed to observe the
orders issued in the spring of 1869, when
reports came to the Navy Department,
through the press and telegrams, of sev
eral American vessels having been search
ed by Spanish raen-of-war in British waters
and on the Mgh road of nations in tho
Gulf of Mexico. The Government then, as
now, took the position that while the
United States Government wished to ob
serve strict neutrality in regard to diffi
culties existing on the Island vf Onbn,
they could not consent that our merchant
vessels should bo n olested in their lawful
pursuits, or overhauled and examined
uni. ss they were found committing some
violation of Spanish authority. This they
could only do by landing arms and mu
nitions of war. The waters between
Cuba and the United States being used
as the great highway of all nations, ves
sels should not bo molested unless they
were within a marine 1 :ague of the island,
and not even then unless detected in
some overt act. The Secretary of the
Navy, in his general and special instruc
tions said:
“ Hie United States Government soe3
no reason why vessels pursuing their
peaceful vocations should be overhauled
an! searched by Spanish cruisers. There
has been no proclamation according bel
ligerents’ rights to the so-called insur
gents, nor is tho island considered in a
state of war by tho Spanish Government.
You will therefore prevent, as far as lies
in your power, any infraction of interna
tional law by the Spanish vessels of war
as far as the matter of our commerce is
concerned.”
And on tho instructions to Admiral
Poor, in January, 1870, the Secretary
said: “It is desired that you should
keep some of your vessels stationed on
the north and south ends of the Island of
Cuba, or at such ports as the so-called
insurgents should convene for escape
from the Island. While tho Department
does not desire that you should seek op
portunities to encourage these distressed
persons to seek the protection of the
United States flag, you will in no case
refuse them shelter on board the vessels
of your fleet, and when they are once
under the protection of the flag, these
persons a ad property will be held sacred
against the interference of the Spanish
authorities. In no case will you give up
any one attemoting to escape from the
island, except by authority from this
Department.”
It is probable the fleet in the South
Atlantic will be increased without delay,
and one or more vessels sent to Santiago
de Cuba.
Discussions have taken place in official
quarters as to the course this Govern
ment ought to pursue in case Spain
should be unable to enforce the principle!
of international law, or violate those ap
plicable to tho Mghway of nations, par
ticularly affecting vessels sailing under
the national flag. It has heretofore been
plainly intimated to Spain, in official
communications, that the necessity might
be imposed on the United States to de
cisively enforce the principles for which
this government ha3 earnestly contended.
The future will determine when they
shall have a practical application.
The Secretary of State, in conversation
to-day, expressed his surprise at the re
ported jqUi^ew with him yesterday,
there being some things in the publica
tion calculated to place Mm in a false
position.
Andy Johnson Heard From.
Washington, November 11.—Ex-Presi
dent Johnson sends a communication to
the Chronicle in reply to that of Judge
Holt printed last August, on the subject
of the execution of Mrs. Surratt. Th#
Chronicle says of Johnson’s communica
tion : It is thruughoutdignified, free from
needless personalities and all vitupera
tion, and is confined to a review of
the statements of a Government official,
which, if crelited, might affect his repu
tation as a citizen, aud as an officer while
acting os the Chief Exeoufc’v© of the
nation. Charges from unofficial sources
are altogether ignored in Johnson’s com
munication.

Later of the Lonoke Trniredy—The
Assassins Still at Largre.
LrrTLK Rock, November 7.—The trag
edy reported in Lonoke county last night
lias created intense excitement. It ap
pears one of the Eagles was acting in the
capacity of constable and had a warrant
for tie arrest of two negro hog thieves.
On coming up with them they refused to
surrender, and a3 the constable’s posse
dismounted they were fired upon by the
band of negroes in ambush, killing all
three of the Eagles and severely wound
ing Sullivan. Dr. Gray was the only one
of t he posse unhurt. On Ms escape, he
returned to Lonoke and reported the af
fair, when the sheriff of Lonoke county
summoned a posse of fifty men and went
to the place of the deed. He arrived
there at 11 o’clock last night and found
tho bodies with no one near. They had
been relieved of guns and horse*. The
bodies were removed to Lonoke to-day,
where an inquest is being held.
The sheriff of Lonoke, accompanied by
Hon. J. P. Eagle, a representative, whose
kin-nnen were killed, arrived in the city
tMs evening, and laid all the facts before
the Governor. Tho sheriff of Pulaski
sent out a posse of ten men to-day, to ef
fect tho arrest of tho murderers, but
not’aing has been heard from them.
Extraordinary Proceedings of
J. Cooke & Co.
Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.]
YTashinoton, November 6.—The ques
tion as to the bankruptcy o: Jay Cooke A
Co. will como on for hearing in the Su
preme Court of this District on Monday
next. The chief matter of interest will
be as to tho court here obtaining juris
diction over tho property of the bank
rupts, petitions having b^en filed both in
thLi District and the E:istern District of
Pennsylvania. The petitions in the latter
district were filed first in point of time;
but one of the petitions in tMs District
alleges an earlier act of bankruptcy than
those recited in tho Philadelphia peti
tion; to-wit: the fradulent concealment
and removal of the property of the firm
on the day of tho suspension. Jay Cooke
& Co. are exerting themselves actively to
procure additional signatures to their
agreement providing for an extra judi
cial settlement of their affairs, not
withstanding they have been ex
plicitly notified by some of tho larg
est depositors that they will insist on an
absolute adjudication of bankruptcy. It
is a matter of surprise to tne uniuckj *lo-
pooitor* ttmt certain newspapers should
be expending all their sympathy on Jay
Cooke & Co., as some of their depositors
ore in actual want. There is a very
gloomy feeling among depositors as to
tho prospects of getting anything out of
tho estate; and some of those who signed
Cook’s agreement did so upon the express
assurance that assets that had never been
exposed would be amply sufficient to pay
all the liabilities and leave a surplus. In
some instances the firm are said to have
succeeded in settling with creditors by
paying 15 per cent, of their claim in cash,
and assigning Northern Pacific railroad
bonds at 85 cents on the dollar for the
balance. Some transanctions have oc
curred to-day where the holders of claims
sold out at 40 cents on the dollar for
everything. It is a matter of inquiry as
to how parties against whom proceedings
in bankruptcy are pending possess them
selves of so much cash, and the wonder
is where their reserve fund is kept.
Daring Attempt to Rob a
Bank.
"Wilmington, Del., November 7.—
Great excitement wa3 created this even
ing by an alarm proceeding from the
residence of the casMer of the Bank of
Delaware, in this city, caused by an at
tempt of five masked men to gag and
bind the family of the cashier, with a
view of robbing tho bank. The men
gained admittance to the house by strat
egy. The cashier was handcuffed. They
then proceeded to the dining-room,
where the ladies were at tea, and with
drawn pistols enforced silence. One of
the ladies escaping, gave the alarm.
Two policemen arrived in time to see
the burglars escaping. Chase was given,
and one of the police gained upon the re
treating gang. Shots were exchanged
without effect, when one of the robbers
suddenly stopped and allowed the officer
to get near him. He then dealt him a
murderous blow, and the officer fell
senseless, severely wounded in the head.
The robbers, so far, hare evaded arrest.

From the evidence elicited during the

by Mahala Gregory and tied to a tree,
with his hands extending above hia head, ;

continued, amid the mo it piteous appeals
for mercy from the suffering child, until
it was apparently lifeless. One of the

said he would whip the boy until he

Fertilizing Compound!
This fertilizer is again offered to tho
public in its original purity. The stand
ard has been kept up in every respect
and its intrinsic value has again been
demonstrated during the past summer.
It is recommended, because:
“It is permanent in its effects in return
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 nut seldom occurs whero
this fertilizer is used.
“It is the best restorer of worn out
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
izer.
“It is manufactured at the South and
almost entirely of Southern material.
“It utilizes the ammonia found on
every form which is the most expensive
part of all complete fertilizers.”
We.subjoin a few of the many certifi
cates in our possession, as to its value,
from well known parties who have used
it, and to whom we would refer.

Messrs. Rogers <£ Leman, Macon, Ga. :
Gents : I have bought of your agent. Captain
V. L. Hopaon, one car load of the Logafl Fertili
ser, and used it this spring on my different farms.
I am well pleased with it and shall use it another
year in preference to any other kind, i also used
the pure Peruvian Guano and other standard
fertilizers, and by actual comparison. I am satis
fied the I,ogan is the best, and at much less cost.
Yours respectfully, H. W. DALLLS. Ss.
Coweta Couxtt, Ga^ September IS, 187S
Messrs. Rogers <fr Leman, Macon, Ga.:
Gents: The Logon Fertilizer bought of your
agent, V. L. Hopson, 1 manipulated with cotton
seed at the rate of one of the fertilizing compound
to two ot cotton seed. This compost sms applied
to cotton at the rate ot 200 to SOW pound* per acre.
I used it besideof Reese’s SoL Pacific,and give
yours the preference, and I shall use it exclusive
ly in future. . ,
My brother applied the Logan to both com and
cotton, and is well pleased with the result.
Yours truly, L. C. DAY IS.

Messrs. Rogers d: Leman, Macon, Ga.:
Gentleaiex: I am fully satisfied with tho Ix>-
mm Fertilizer. It beats stable manure ajooe. and
is by actual count of bolls, at least 200 percent,
ahead of my unmanured cotton. There is less
rust where the Logan was used than where fer
tilized by stable manure. Yours respectfully.
Gents : I promised to write you about theflo-
gan Fertilizer I bought of you. I now can safely
say, that up to thu time, it is ahead of any 1 have
ever used. It is as good again as the Soluble Pa
cific I used last year. I will use it altogether for

and put the eight tons ofjcomport oo forty acre#

it. When the crop is gathered i will write you
