LOWEST KATES!
upon commorCC Why. my dear friend |
of Solomnnian calibre, I inquire, do you
exorcise your groat mind, or giro yourself
unnecessary trouble about a question
which you consider entirely out of order?
Nnture has her arbit rary law* which none
can infringe with impunity, and if the
purblind farmer, in opposition to hot fiats
and contrary to all precedent, should hurl
himself headlong ngainst her statutes he
will surely find his just uud merited pun
ishment So why should tho wise be dis
turbed or disquieted about a matter so
foolish P
If tbo ignorant farmer, to promote bis
interests, should see fit to join his scanty
supply of brains with his neighbor, and
so on continue to add < tuJ nrauu
together ...mi the aggregate assumed
tne dimensions of a respectable man of
sense, why should those more fortunate
in brain culture or suppy raise a voico in
opposition to this conjunction of brains ?
It is not tho intention, or desire, of this
order of farmers to injure in tho least tho
interests of any other class of people, but
all they propose to do is to protect their
own interests. If to accomplish this pur
pose they should innocently injuro any
singlo individual, or interest, it will only
provo that that individual, or interest,
lias subsisted upon tho lean, attenuated
system of tho farmer. If we, by banding
together, find that wo cease to be a prey
to many who follow in our wako, like the
shark in the wake of n vessel to swallow
up tho unfortunate, why should wo re
main in a disorganized tnto ? There
should lie no sore heads on our account,
and if our efforts are so vain and futile—
our ideas so chimoricnl—our strength so
insignificant—our action so completely
'circumscribed by immutable laws—if, in
fact, like nil mortal men, our views ore
more exalted than our means, and our
prize far out of our reach in an utopian
tree, why should any fenr that through our
deliberations they may loso a vocation ?
Tho objoct or objects hold in viow by tho
Order of the Patrons of Husbandry aro
honorablo and calculated, when attained,
as attained they will lie, to benefit nil
classes and give general prosperity to tho
country.
Tho first and foremost object in view
is to work back (for this work is some
what retrograde) to an old fashioned
cash system. In order therefore to ac
complish this objoct we begin to practice
homo economy—retrench our expenses
by dispensing with luxuries and all wants
not absolutely imli.ipensible. Fifrthering
this great object we will find we can dis
pense with a considerable portion of our
hired labor, nnd likewise curtail the num
ber of acres shuffled over every year in un
profitable crops. Next wo will have a
less number of mules to feed—more land
to grow gross to raise sheep, cows nnd
so forth—and more com to food to the
hogs. If wo get on tlie right road to cosh
payment-, wo will find thoncronge in cot
ton suddenly diminished, to be gradually
increased at our option, when the object
in view shall have been attained. Right
hero will come in a result. What yon
say my wise friend ? Can’t we control
tho price of cotton P Why, we would not
care but little about the pries of cotton so
wo contiblled the rot ton. We would
1h> troubled about the price of cotton,
but wo would fool confident the cotton
was ours, and wo would sell it ad the year
round at a profit. And when it was
likely to be cheap from stack de
mand or extraordinary yield we
could hold back tho surplus and plant
loss tho next year. Would not this be a
happy result springing from the attain
ment of that primary object—the easli
system ? Who will say nay ? The sec
ond object in viow (and this is hardly
secondary in importance) is to control
and regulate lalor. Perhaps the wiso
gian will say this is another fauciful idea.
But not so. Tho first object accom
plished, the second would follow as nat
urally as water flowing down hill. The
negro would come to work, and work |
willingly for that man who paid him tho
money regularly once or twice par month.
Ho would work cheap, too, knowing it
would be useless to ask more than the
grangers were paying. And when ho i
failed to work as ho should, or was found
guilty cf any misdemeanor, a ready dis
missal without a character would await
him. The third object in view is the
general improvement of nil interests per
taining to the farm and the country at
large—developing mineral resources—
utilizing our water and land navigation—
restoring the fertility of worn lands—
beautifying our homes and giving com
fort to all—hedging in our lands from
Intruders and scouring thereby innu
merable blessings—and God would doubt
less bless us with more fruitful seasons
and give us rain and sunshine as the
heart desired. These objects are laud
able, and may I hope that none aro so
foolish as to be arrayed in hostility
against the grangers, but rather give us
aid and help us accomplish our objects,
nnd then no good, honest man in all the
land will lose his place and cry “ Othel
lo’s occupation's gone-”
Respectfully, etc.,
J. S. Wresists.
Macon, December 5, 1S73.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I no
tice every how and then a eulogistic
card iu your paper about the prompt and
generous manner in which some insurance
company paid tho life policy upon tome
ono. Somo people that do not pay any
premiums annually to l : fe insurance
companies might think those puffs per
fectly grand. But I, Messrs. Editors,
pay so much money every year for so
much insurance on my life. Tho amount
I pay is specified on the face of my re
ceipt, and tho amount I am insured for
is probably ns strong a contract ns per-
uaps you ever read—that they will
promptly pay to my wife so much money
in caso of my death. All of thi3 is in
black and white, and signed and counter
signed by all the officials, and for all of
thi3 I pay them what they charge, annu
ally, "very promptly.” If it should occur
to mo that tho policy on my life would
not be paid promptly, I shonld certainly
never make another payment. These
notices of promptness lead mo to suspect
that come aro not prompt. Thom that
aro not prompt aro the ones, in my judg
ment, to bo ventilated, and not those that
simply do what they solemnly covenant
to do. W. L. Eluis.

Biff Dogs on tlie Auction Block
Prom the New York Sun. Novcmbc • 2k)
An unusual attraction was offered on
Saturday at Barker & Chase's auction
mart, four magnificent mastiff dogs being
up for sale. They are descendants of
Lord Walgravo’s celebrated mastiff,
Turk, of which there arc but two other
importations in America, ono of which is
owned by Mr. Dclaficld Smith, tho Cor
poration Counsel.
Tho dogs were, probably with tho ex
ception of tho two already mentioned,
the finest specimens of the ftastiff breed
that have ever been brought to this
country. They aro a female, four nnd a
half years old, the mother of tho other
three, one of which is a dog of immense
sizo, about sixteen months old, and the
other two, which are but a little smaller,
are a male and female of eight months.
Tho old dog was imported from England
some time ago, and tho other throe
wore horn in this country. They all be
longed to Mr. J. Ilowavd McHenry, of
Sndbury, Maryland. They are very
much alike, with dark faces, and hair
rather longer and lighter than is usually
seen on dog3 of this kind. They were a
little lazy and climbed rather heavily
over tlio lower boards of the stalls when
the keeper.) removed the upper planks
and loosened their chains. Once outside,
however, they were activo enough, and
tbe men who held their chains with the
intention of loading them to the auc
tioneer’s stand were compelled to submit
to being led themselves.
The first two exposed for sale were the
sixteen-months’ old dog and the so-called
jmp of eight months. The latter little
1 creature was restive, and with tho proba
ble viow of finding his mother he drew
his keeper swiftly around the ring at tho
end of his chain. The older dog quietly
trotted up to the auctioneer’s stand, and
seating hiuisclf on his haunches, looked
with a severely reproachful air at the
man who was abont to dispose of him.
Capt. Barker explained that the chains
did not go with tho dogs, and told pros
pective purchasers that they would have
to provide themselves with stout ropes.
Tlie two dogs wero put up separately,
tho purchaser having the option by
choosing cither. Mr. Chase explained
that the animals wero well worth $350
each, and Capt. Barker said that lie knew
nothing of dogs, but ho thought if they
wore .worth anything they were worth
that, and, so encouraged, a bystander of
fered $10 for choice, but quickly with
drew bis bid on hearing that his pur
chase would cat him out of house and
home in a month. Another bid of $10
was made and it quickly ran up to $30.
Capt. Barker thought there could not
l>o many dog-fanciers present, and
Mr. Chase said there must be a
good many judging from the number of
spectators. "When $-15 was reached, tho
auctioneer said a well-dressed gentleman
had been there in the morning, and au
thorized him to bid as high as $50, but
as bo had refused to leave a deposit ho
would pay. no attention to him. Fifty
dollar* was bid, and tho auctioneer said
the spectators couldn’t want dogs very
badly to offer so small an amount for ani
mals about which he had received be
tween 18,000 and 20,000 letters a day
from different parts of the country. The
bidding at length closed at $60, and the
purchaser eliose the older dog—tho largest
of tho four. “What name?” inquired
tho auctioneer, and the spectators crowd
ed around to hear the answer. “Mr.
Van Winkle,” said a large, plainly
dressed man, adding in a loud whisper
“Del'.field Smith, you know.” ne paid
his deposit, and the Corporation Counsel
is the possessor of two mastiffs.
The male pup sold to a Mr. East for
$S0, which Mr. Chase said might be con
sidered a large price but it was not a
quarter bis value.
The choice between the mother and the
female pup was then put up, and starting
at $10 was knocked down to Mr. East for
$50. The purchaser chose the mother.
The female pup starting at $15 wa3 pur
chased by Mr. Hastings for $33.

It is a genuine English made Manure, the only one in tho market, andnua,
factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells 40,000 tom as--
ally, and has the most extensive works of the kind in Great Britain, which la;
been in operation 21 years. Tho Langdale, therefore, has a good pedigree and U a '
experiment.
It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotic- I
of vegetable life, and especially of cotton, than any other fertilizer offered in ■
South. It is tho best and safest Cotton Manure in the market.
The'analysis given with the Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall 1
be no mistake about tho genuineness of the article, nor the good faith of the vendor' 9
It is the cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use ^ |
becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing the same. Th, I
test of cheapness is not tho price, hut the actual worth of tho article purchased
Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable chemi. I
cals, which can alone give worth to a fertilizer, anil bring satisfactory result). IV I
Langdale is as low in price as is consistent with the use of the best ingredient), and I
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
The employment of powerful machinery in mixing and pulverizing the mgr,-. I
dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents troublo in using. The Ian-. I
dale is unequalled in this respect, and impresses every one who sees it as a perfeotly I
manipulated Manure.
In it3 composition and preparation it is tho result of careful scientific rerear.'li
and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century, it 1
will he maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters have
