AUGUSTA, GA.=
Thursday Morning, December 2,1875,
A Close, Hard Man.
A hard, close man was Solomon Ray,
Nothing of value he gave away;
He hoarded and saved:
He pinched and shaved;
And the more he had the more he craved.
The hard-earned dollars he tolled to gain
Brought him little but care and pain;
For little he spent,
And all he lent
He made it bring him twenty per cent.
Such was the life of Solomon Ray,
The years went by, and his hair grew gray,
His cheeks grew thin,
And his soul within
Grew hard as the dollars he worked to win.
But he died one day, as all men must,
For life is fleeting and man but dust,
The heirs were gay
That laid him away,
And that was the end of Solomon Ray.
They quarrelled now, who had little cared
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared,
His hands were cold,
And his hard-earned gold
All went to the lawyers, 1 am told.
Yet men will cheat, and pinch, and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave.
All their gold some day
Will melt away
Like the selfish savings of Solomon Ray.

of the creditors who had not accepted

claimed the property, is in the follow
ing words, to-wit:
“State of Georgia, Richmond county.
This indenture, made and entered into

the first part, and James C. Frances,
Jr., of the city of Augusta, State of
Georgia, of the second part, witnesseth
that whereas said parties of the first
part owe divers debts which they are
unable to pay in full, and are desirous
to provide for the payment of the
same, by assignment of all firm prop
erty for that purpose.
Now, therefore, know all men by
these presents, that the said parties of
the first part, in consideration of the
premises and of the sum of one dollar
in hand, well and truly paid by said
party of the second part, at and be

ty, and especially all that 9tock of dry
goods now in store No. 228 Broad
street, Augusta, Georgia, together with
the notes, accounts and books apper
taining to the business of said parties
of the first part, as merchants.
To have and to hold the same and
every part thereof, in trust, for the
uses and purposes following;
1. To take possession of the said
property, and to sell and dispose of the
.same with reasonable diligence, either
at public or private sale, for cash or
credit, and to convert the same into
money; and also to collect all such
debts and demands hereby assigned as

parties of the first part from further
liability, on account of said debts. And
to such other creditors, if any, who
shall within one month from such date,
present their claims duly proven to
said party of the first part, and shall
also sign a release as aforesaid; and if
the residue of said proceeds shall not
be sufficient to pay the said debts and
liabilities in full, then to apply the
name, so far as they will extend to the
paymeut of said debts and liabilities
proportionately to their respective
amounts.
And if, after payment of all costs,
charges and expenses attending the
execution of said trust, and the pay
ment iu full of all lawful debts owing
by said parties of the first part, as co
partners, there shall remain any sur
plus of said proceeds in the hands of
said party of the second part, then —
4. To apply such surplus toward the
payment of the individual debts and
liabilities of said naities of the first
part, the share belonging to each of
the respective parties, to be applied to
the payment of the debts of such
party (and not to the debts of the
other), without preference to the indi
vidual creditors.
And for the better securing the exe
cution of the trusts hereby created and
reposed, the said parties of the first
part do hereby constitute and appoint
said party of the second part, their
true and lawful attorney irrevocable,
with full power and authority to do
and perform, acts, deeds, matters and
things which may be necessary in the
premises, and to the full execution of
said trusts, and to demand, recover
and receive of, and from, all and every
person, all the property debts and
Remands belonging, or owing, to said
parties of the first part, as co-partners,
and to give acquittances and dis
charges for the same, and to sue,
prosecute auli defend, and implead for
the same, and iPt the purpose afore
said, or for any of them, to construct
and appoint one or more attorneys
under him, and at his pleasure to
to revoke the same, hereby ratifying
whatever the said party of the second
part, or his substitute or attorney shall
lawfully do.
The said party of the second part
hereby accepts the trust created, and 1c
him reposed by these presents, being
responsible only for actual receipts or
wilful defaults.
In witness whereof, said parties of
the first and second parts, have here
in "to set their hands and affixed their
seals, the day and year above written.”
The plaintiffs, as the creditors of the
defendants in ft. fa., did not accept
the terms of the assignment. The
assignment in this case, comes within
the ruling of this court, in Mcßryde vs.
Bohannan, 50th Geo. Rep. 527, and is
controlled by it. Let the judgment of
the court below be affirmed.

OYSTER SHELL LIME.
The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in
Use in Georgia.
XTOTHING in the way of a Fertilizer and
iNI Renovator of old soils has been found
equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME.
It is not only for one year, but its good
effects are seen and continues for eight to
ten years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all
Grain Crops, applied as a top dressing, and
also to Potatoes and all root crops, and
should be applied in quantities not less
than sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost
Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters
of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci
ally recommended to bring up our State to
the front rank in Agricultural matters. The
cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME
will recommend it to every farmer who has
used fertilizers largely for the past few
years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its
long years of service, acting as it does for
years after its application has been forgot
ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub
stances the manurial quality in Lime is
more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds
in all soils of common fertility', but little of
it is available—Lime uulocks this store
house of Nitrogen and renders it readily
available for plant food. A splendid and
eeono ical compost fertilizer may be made
by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt
and three of Lime, and let the mixture
stand six to eight weeks bofsre using. This
is specially adapted to using in drills for
Turnips. The cheapness and facility of
procuring this wonderful renovator of the
soil ought to make it one or the first objects
of the farmer (who desires to improve his
land) to obtain it. Nothing In the way of a
fertilizer or renovator has been found equal
to it, as proved by the increased yield of
crops and permanent improvement of the
soil at a cost less, by far, than any other
manure. We are prepared to furnish PUKE
OYSTER SHELL LIME in any quantity
at $lO per ton of 2,000 pounds, free of cart
age, on cars in Port Royal, S. C.
We ului Have a Compuuiul for Prevent -
Itijf Hot in Grapeg for sale at S3O per ton.

KITSOIV’St PAT’I VM’ EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by tills
system is only about one mill per ppund on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from lire than the card room.
ter There is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley' Manufac

Gentlemen. I nave been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers an and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, tor more then two vears oast at the Cotton Mm or tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeuing and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against nre.
