By an advertisement which appears elsewhere, it will' bo seen that Mr. Faulk offers a re ward for their recovery. a half cent cotton do not go very well to gether. The true principle is to buy the (...neenti-atsd material for cask, and there by save rim imnirnaa outlay attend.*uit on selling manipulated manures. Probably the most prominent of tho concentrated chemical manures in this portion of the State, is that of Messrs. Hunt, I fan tin A Lamar ind Or. I*. K.

From the reference of some of the bent farmers in Georgia, it will bo seen that their pre paration has done as well and in many instances better than the expensive man ures at less than half the cost, ft costs ) 1 GO to {2 50 per aero for cotton, and for corn it is cheaper and better Uuut cotton seed. New Books. From Messrs. Brown & Co, wo have re. ceived tlie following new books, which will Is; noticed when they shall have been cion lined: ‘•Rhoda Thornton's Girlilhood.” By Mary E.

G. W. Carleton A Co., New York. The authorship of tho last named book attache* to it somo importance, and will beget a iil>eral sale for it. Mr. Owen is one of tho most respected as well as one of the ablest of tho exponents of spiritual ism ; and in spite of the pernicious doc trines which be liolus. be is an agreeable writer and reasons out his propositions with a cunning that amounts almost to profundity. Ho is an intelligent man, has hail largo experience in the world, and as tlie book is a narrative of bis own life, it probably contains somo interest ing views of tho men and women tliat ho lias met and tho manners and customs of tho countries; that ho has visited. week, I propo to complete the organiza tion of the Auditing Hoard, an l respoct- folly roqnoet those who hare been invi ted to become members, and w,w liavo not yet responded, to carefully exaifcine, in.the meantime, the proposition.' hereto fore submitted to them. The Tontine plan has been /.i Uy ferial, and tic experi ence of tlie society during the past five years shows that so fax from being doubt ful in its results the actual cash acenaiil lations on Tontine policies hnuo exceeded the estimates submitted, and the evidence of this experience will be furnished to all who desire it. The degree of confidence and patron age bestowed on this plan since its intro duction by tho Equitable, by a large num ber of the most prominent and wealthy capitalists in the country, who have sought it os a first-class investment, aside from tho questions of protection and as surance, has enabled the society for the post four years to transact a larger note twainess than any other mrijxmy is the world.

Very respectfully, yonrs, Mahala Mason. A Fine Stdck sf Usllday Ustda. Although Messrs J. W. Burke & Co. have barely begun to roceivo and open their holiday goods, their stock already surpasses what tlio public expected they would do in this line. They received nothing until within the past four or five days, and now tlioy have in their store an immense stock of most superb holiday pres. nta, suitable for people of all ages, and largo and small means. Their stock of holiday books is very large, and embraces many entirely new- one), some of which are the perfection of tho printer’s and the engraver’s arts. They are gotten up in tho m03t elaborate style, ns respects printing, illustration and binding. Besides this, they are 1 looks of standard valne, and will bo ns good a generation hence ns they aro now. They have an unusually large stock of writing desks, work boxes, jewel cases, toilet articlos, gold and ivory pencils, and a great variety of other articlos that it would weary an encyclopedist to enum erate. Their stock of bibles and prayer books is tho largest and handsomest ever brought to Macon. For the boys they bavo a vast number of tool chests of various sizes, wheelbar rows. wagons, and a great variety of in teresting and curious toys and puzzles, and an unlimited stock of tnybooks. For tho little girls they liavo doll carriages, paper dolls, beautifully illustrated juve nile books, and an endlong somber of other articles wldcli will open tho eyes of tho misses wider than a first-rate ghost story would. But no description can giro any ade quate idea of the beauty and oxtent of this stock. It resembles panic times os little as a snow-drift resembles “a bonk whore tho wild thyme grows.” To lie fully appreciated tlio stock must bo ex amined. The Mayor’s Court. nis Honor, tho Mayor, found eight names on his docket yesterday morning, three of .which wero tho names of white persons and tho remainder of colored per sons. Thomas Mcnor, colored, was tho first called, raid he answered to tho charge of burglary. Ho is notorious in Macon as a thief, but somehow or other he was never fairly caught until now. A lady’s gold watch and chain were found in his pos session, and ho confessed to entering sev eral houses and stealing various articles therefrom. Ho was transferred to the County Court. Ella Middlebrooks stole six dollars from one of her colored friends. The money, os described by tho loser, was found in Ella’s hosiery and returned to the owner, and Ella was fined five dollars, or ten day* in the barracks. Lucy Mills, an old East Macon offend er, who is frequently boforo his Honor was fined five dollars or ton days for stealing a pint of whisky. Sho says it was the most exponsivo whisky sho ever enjoyed. A young blood plead guilty to a plain drunk, and was subjected to tho usual fiuu. Robert Caldwell was gathored from a goods box upon the street, at a late hour night before last, and was furnished closer lodgings in the barracks, for fear he might take cold. Fire dollars or ton days wits tlie judgment entered against him. A negro woman gave a butcher some of her “imperenco” and he slapped her jaws for her. She had him before His Honor and ho was flood five dollars for striking her. I r . ' I Teaberry Newly and Milton Miller were up for fighting. They hod a sharp scuf fle Friday evening, and tho former mak ing a bludgeon of an ale bottle, rapped Miller on the head with it, and Miller, in turn, struck Newly a blow with a stick which needed only a little more force to make it fatal. They were fined five dol lars each. Christmas and Holiday Presents! WING & SOLOMON OFFER AT PANIC TRICES THEIR FINE STOCK! EMURACINCi NOVELTIES IN OOLD, SILVER BNTI , FANCY GOODS.

T IIS Oil is manufactured by us on the sea shore with tlio greatest care, from fresh healthy Livers of tlw Cod only, without tlio aid of any chemicals, by tlio simplest possible process and lowest temperature, by which the Oil can be separated from the cells of the livers. It is nearly devoid < f color, odor, and flavor, having only a bland, fish-like,and to most persons, not unpleas ant taste. It is so sweet anil pure tliat it can be retained by the stomach when other kiuds fail, and jxiticuU soon become to liko if. The secret of making good Cod Liver Oil lies in tlie projier application of tho proper degree of heat;'too much or too little will seriously injure the ouality. Great attention to cleanliness is also absolutely necessary to prodi re sweet Cod Liver Oil.

' I used yours by tho side of two high-priced manures, and it did hotter than either. B. F. WARD. After using 70 tons this year, I prefer yours oven at tlio same price of tho expensive manures. L. M. HOUSER, Houston county. Yours produced as well or bettor than others at loss than half tlie cost. W H ROBINSON, Macon county; Yours produced as well as tho Chiueha Island and tho two other high-pricuri which I used this year. C A HAMILTON, Jones county. Yours is us good as the expensive kinds I used this year; some think better. J H McCAY, Talbot county. Your fertilizer, on two years* trial, has provon to be m good os any other fertilizer I ever used, and I shall use it alone hereafter. J M SPINLIN, Fayette county. It lias proved to bo just as good, and in some respects superior, to tub most expensive manures. I desire to use it extensively next year. HBNRY J WILLIAMSON, Griflin, Ga. It is as good as the expensivo sort that I used. I shall use it altogether next season. J W PERRY, M D, Clay county, Ga, I used a ton of tho “Home-Made” by two of tlio expensive guanos, and find no difference in the yield. I can heartily recommend it as a cheap and paying fertilizer—shall use it exclusively noxt year. JNO H BUTLER, Monroe county. Barnb8Tille. Ga., October 8,-1873. I used your compound again this year, and am so well pleased with it that I don’t think I shall overuse any other kind. Where I used 300 pounds per acre I will make 8,000 pounds of seed cotton to tho acre. I used it on turnips this year; they are the finest I ever saw. I think tne farmers will be satisfied, after this year’s trial, that it is the best in use. Yours respectfully, J P McLEAN. Spalding County, Ga., October 16.1873. I used your “Home-Made Fertilizer” this year on cotton and com. in tho same quantities with one of the high-pricked manures, and the advan tage is decidedly with tho “Home-Made.” I have decided to use it exclusively next year. EDWARD M DORSEY. SUNNYBlDi, Ox, October 23, 1873. After a fair test by the side of three high-priced and stan«lard commercial manures, it is plain that tho “Home Made” is as good ns auy, and I can conscientiously commend it to lb > farmers as the host ami cheapest they can use. J O A MILLER. Mausiialvillk, Ga , October 2L 1873. Dr. P. Jt. Molt: Dear Sir—1 used this season thirty-six tens of your “IIomc-Modo Fertilizer,” and am so well pleased with it tliat I shall use it almost or quite exclusively noxt year.
