PKOIIIIIITION.
On what ground docs society eluim tlie
right to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
drinks? Simply IxtcauMi the halc of them
Infliotn injury upon society. II their sale
docs not produce more evil than good,
prohibition canno' he defended. Pro
hibition is aometiuiea spoken of an an
attempt to say to a man what he may or
may not eat or drink. We do r.ot claim
any such right: although we are oati-fied
that the man who drinks anything that
ean intoxicate injures himself , yet so long
as he does not injure others we do not
claim the right to restrict his privileges:
but we do claim that, if a community
choose, they ean say that the temptution
tc drink shall not be spread before the
young men, or before those who
may have unfortunately fallen into
habits which they wish to break, hut
have not the power. Whether prohibit
ing the retail liquor trade in any com
munity will accomplish much in reforming
those who already love liquor is a point
upon which nun ore not agreed; but no
one will deny that it increases the proha
biiity that our young men will grow up
sober and ternpoiato. If in any way the
young ean be saved from forming the
habit of drinking moderately, w believe
this to be the best that can he done
towards delivering our country from the
evils which intemperance inflicts upon it.
It is but. seldom that those who have
contracted the habit of drinking regularly
reform; in this, as in most other things,
“an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure."

“How do you ascertain this?"
“The .-ale of acid |<hosphato is tho tost.
Our inspectors report that the wile ol acid
phosphate this tern is perhaps 15,000
tons in excess of tlie sides of hint year.
Tho sale of kaiuit used in composting has
increased even more rapidly.'’
“ What lines this mean to the farmers?
“It mcana everything. You see, they
buy a ton of aoid phosphate for #2O and
kaiuit for #5. I’hcy compost this #25
worth of bouaht,.stufl with tlie serapintfs
of thoil barnyard and fence corners and
the drop punas of their cuttle, and produce

“Will tlie sale of fertilisers for this
season reach that ol last year?”
"Dorhaps. Two years turn we inspi'c’eti
154,tKk) tons: last year 127.000. This
season up> to April 1-t about 117,000 tons.
Of this year's sale, however, a very large
proportion is acid phosphates and kaiuit
—so that while tho tonnasc is nearly as
larpte, the money paid by Ihe farmer is
very much less, and the enrichment o:
the land very much more. 1 should say
that there more than double as many
perhaps three times as many—compost

FIRST PICNIC OF THE SEASON.
’i he first soeiety picnic of the season
came offal Donee du I icon Springs yes
terday and was largely attended by the
piety, beauty and chivalry of Atlanta.
As the off .it was engineered by Mrs. Rev.
Ichabod Whaugdoodle, ably assisted by
her sanctified consort, it is unnecessary to
state tout it was a signal success.
Early in the morning. Aurora and Mrs.
Whaugdoodle got out of bed in all th.ir
shining glory and the little dickey birds
greeted them with their sweetest songs.
Mother earth was richly carpeted with
Furman’s Formula and luxuriant vege
table verdure, and the tiees and foliage
were redolent with high-priced per
fumery exhaled from their new spring
clothes. The innocent street car mules
were wildly prancing in joyous anticipa
tion of their day's tun, and the hungry
bugs w re jubilant over the prospect ot
the human fn e lunch that was in store
for them.
Brother Whangdoodle, in his usual
felicitous style, was the fir-t to shy his
castor into the ring, nod inaugurated the
ceremonies by Dumbly addressii g the

while longer, or until further advice was
forwarded from the same source.
Barring a few ordinary mishaps, the
day was spent in the festive manner rbat
always characterize* these social oc
casions. The ladies abandoned them
selves to as thoitingh enjoyment of the
surroundings as tin ir tight corsets and
tighter shoes Would permit, and ti e
dudes gamboled on ti e green with all
the easy grace that was possible with
their closely fitting pants. The refresh
ments were pooled, anti while the coffee,
tea. milk and lemonade were weak, the
fault was counteracted by the strength ot
the butter. Some of the girls do say that
Old Lady Whang loodle hogged all Mu

I sold one of your Patent Cases
about ten months ago, and the other day it came
back to me with the request to make it wind
easier. On examination i found that, the stem
was rusty, and I inquired iuto the cause of it.
The gentleman stated to me that he was starting
aome saw logs that bad lodged in the bend of
the river, when his chain caught in a bush and
threw his watch intosbout twelve feet of water,
and he was about two hours finding it. When
he got it out it was running and he thought all
right. In about three months he found that the
stem was hard to turn, snd sent it to me. I can
say that the watch is all that the company
claims for it, ami recommend it to all railroad
and mill men. B. W. BLNTLY.
Clinton lowa, April ii 9. 1881.
I wish you would send me a spring for the
Wru. Ellery Watch • * * By the way this Ellery
is a watch I sold iu your Screw Bezel Case to a
fanner last fall. The first of January lie lest the
watch in the woods, and found it this week in
about one foot of water. It bad lain three months
and over in snow and water, with but slight in
jury to the watcl only u hair spring.
C. S. RAYMOND.
The above were very severe tests, and de
monstrate beyond a doubt, that for any reason
able length of time during which a watch might
be under water it would receive no hi jury what
ever.
W'e make those ennes in both gold and diver.
and as a Perfectly Bust-Proof Stem Wind
ing Watch Case, < hnllcngc the World to
Produce Its t’qual.
For Sale by all F rst Class Jewelers.
