Scheuerman & Bro. Griffin, Ga., Des. 10-lru lIOIV THREE BALES OF COT TON WERE MADE ON ONE ACRE OF LAND. Colonel B. G. Lockett communi otes to Colonel Styles of the Albany jews the modus operandi employed |y him in producing the enormous held of 27,206 pounds of seed cot pu from six acres of land. ' Below we give Colouel Lockett's btter in full with the accompanying certificate : Albany, Ga.. Dec. 20, 1869. Col. C. W. Styles —Dear Sir: I •had prepared and planted six acres of land in cotton this year, the result of which (twenty-seven thousand two hundred and six pouuds of seed cot ton), was intended for the Georgia Stat« Fair. Tie premium having been awarded Jordsn & Lockett for the greatest yield on two acres, I am receiving many letters asking information as to the node of preparation and cultiva tion >f land. I hope, therefore, you will lave the kindness to publish the folloving statement for the benefit of allwishing to know : The land was first broken with tbe Watt & Knight—A. B. plow, the large noidd board attached, breaking the land about six inches deep—this was dose the latter part of January. The land remained in this condition uwtill ready to be planted, which was done on the 24th of April. The rows were lad off live feet apart with an ordinary scooter plow, following in each furrow with a double wing shovel sixteen inches long and eleven inches wide, drawn by two mules. In this furrow vas distributed about one hum dred ard fifty bushel of well-rotted horse lot manure, and three hundred pounds of ’’John Merryman & Co.’s ammonated dissolved bones,” per acre. This was then covered with the Watt & Knight A. B„ plow, small Rould boad attached, following • t * O in each furrow with a stb-soil plow breaking in all about fifteen inches deep. As soon as the preparation was completed the seed was planted, putting one bushel per acre, with the Dow Law planter. As soon as the cotton was large enough, it was plowed with the sweep, cutting twenty-four inches wide, ami one-half inch deep, and was at once chopped to a stand, useing the No 2 shovel hoe, leaving one and two, and sometimes three stalks—the width of the hoe—and as near as we could, and ten thousand stalks per each acre. The cotton was hoed twice and plowed seven times useing each time the twenty-four inch sweep and never cutting over one-half inch deep. It was cultivated with twenty-one fur rows, but equally as good work could have been done with fifteen furrows by useing a sweep a few inches wider. I am also asked my opinion relative to the number of stalks that should be left on the acre to make the greatest yield. There is great diversity of opinion upon this sudject. My ex perience lias been that much depends upon the variety of cotton seed plant ed. Those planting that variety of cotton which grows large with long limbs, will never make a large yield by leaving eight or ten thousand stalks on an acre, while the prolific or short limb cotton will do better with this number than less. I have endeavored to answer in telligidly and concisely all the ques tions asked, and hope the statement may be of benifit to those asking the information. Below I hand you the evidence of the yied, furnished the Committee at the State Fair. Most respectfully yours, B. G. LOCKETT. The land was first bushed with the Watt and Knight ’y B’ plow, the large mould and board attach, break ing about six inches deep. A few days before planting, the rows were laid off with the ordinary scooter plow, five feet wide, followed by a double wing shovel plow sixteen inches long by eleven inches wide, drawn by two mules. In this furrow was put about one hundred and fifty bushels horse lot manure, and three hundred pounds John Merryman & Co.’s “amoniated dissolved bones,” per acre. We bed ded upon this with the Watt and Knight “A. B.” plow, small mould attached, following in each furrow with a subsoil plow, breaking in all about fifteen inches deep. On the 24th of April it was plant ed. The seed planted is known as the “Hunt Variety.” This cotton was plowed seven times with the sweep, cutting twenty-four inches wide and one-half inch deep, and,hoed twice after cboping. We left upon each acre as near as possible ten thous and stalks. Albany, Ga., Nov 13, 1869. We hereby certify that we weighed the cotton picked from the foregoing area of land (six and eighty-eight thousandths acres), and we found the total amount gathered to be twenty seven thousand two hundred pounds seed cotton, which, s«y nine thousand eight and two-thirds weighed and had ginned and paoked, showing a result of twenty-eight hun dred and eighty-four cotton, an average of dred and twenty pounds per acre. ju joiin C. H. Y. G. RUST. Albany , Ga., Nov 13, 1869. I do hereby cetify that I have care fully surseyed a parcel of land point ed out to me by Capt. J. W. Allen, on that from which he lias this year gathered 27,206 pounds seed cotton, and that 1 find the area of said parcel of land to be six and eighty-eight thousandths aGres. THOS. A. E. EVANS, Civil Engineer and Surveyor, newspapeiTpatronage. Tnere seems to be a great many different ways of defining and under standing the phrase “newspaper pats» ronage,” and as a party interested in a correct definition of the same, we give place to the following disquisi tion the subject, by one who knows whereof he speaks. It may serve, perhaps, as a mirror in which certain parties may be able to “see them selves as others see them.” Many long and weary years of ex perience in the publishing buisness has forced the conviction upon us that newspaper patronage is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind are either ignor* ant of the correct definition, or are dishonest, in a strict biblical sense of the word. Newspaper patronage is composed of as many colors as the rainbow, and as changeable as a cham eleon. One man comes in and subscribes for a paper and pays for it in advance, and goes home and reads it with the proud satisfaction that is his. lie hands in his advertisement, and reaps the advantage thereof. This is pat ronage. Another man asks you to send him the paper and goes off without saying a word about the pay. Time passes on, and you are in need of money, and ask him to pay the sum he owes you. He flies into passion, perhaps pays, porhaps not, and orders nis pa per stopped. This is called patronage. One man brings in a fifty cent ad vertisement and wants a two dollar puff thrown in, and when you decline, he goes off mad. Even this may be called newspaper patronage. Another man don’ ttake your paper it is too high-priced, but he borrows regularly and reads it. And th it could be called newspaper patronage. One man likes your paper : he takes a copy and pays for it, and gets his friend to do the same ; be is not al ways grumbling to others, but has a friendly word. If an accident occurs in his section he informs the editor. This is newspaper patronage. Another man has taken the paper for seveal years, hut has not paid for it, and he comes with an advertise meut he wants inserted free because he is “an old patron.” This is call ed patronage. One hands you a marriage or other notice and asks for extra espies con* - taining it, and when you asx him to pay for the papers, he looks surprisi ed—you surely don’t take pay for such small matters. This is called patronage. Ohe man (it is good to see such) comes in and says, “The year for which I paid is about to expire. I want to pay for another.” Ho dose so and retires. This is newspaper patronage. It will be seen by the above that while certain kinds of patronage are the very life of the newspaper, there are other kinds more fatal to its health and circulation than the coils of a boa constrictor are to the less prey which it “patronizes.” Exchange.

COURTSHIP ON THE Pacipmal rah way. zm From the Cleveahind IF A sinful a ').'*>; V;'^Vv5i< I>l . . g™**™ f , 11Ct.• - PSWeiglit years ago a gentleman named Patton, with his wife and daughter, the latter being about thir teen years of age, removed to Cuii- Massachusetts, lie was a«j3Mpgpous, enterprising man, of me;ir & anc * sou gbt the golden snore! of the Paeiiie in the hope of Jttj|Mi||Jds fortunes. He went to "nmrento City, where he found ready employment at his trade, that of a builder. By a judicious invest ment of the little means he took with him, iu a few years he became the possessor of a nice little property valued at slo,ooo or $1*2,000. Cut adversity came, and a fire swept away more than half of his wealth without a dollar of insurance. Soon after this lie was killed by an acci dent while at work, and, by a singular fatality, his wife followed him to the grave in a few months. Meanwhile the daughter had grown into a comely damsel of twenty-one. There was no lack of admirers, but she found no suiter to suit her. Left alone among strangers, she longed for the home and friends of her child hood, but, dreading the perils of an ocean voyage, she waited until the Pacific railroad should be Completed. Converting into money what remain ed of the property of her father, amounting to some $6,000, she pro cured a through ticket to New York, and started on her long trip, courage ously undertaking the journey alone. Soon after leaving Sacramento, how ever, she met by chance, the usual way on railroad cars, our informant, a young gentleman of prepossessing appearance, whose features bore tho impress of virtue and character. His home is in New Jersey. He had been to California on business con nected with the property of a deceas ed relative, and happened to fall in with Miss Patton upon the train. An acquaintance sprang up, usual at first, but which soon ripened into friendship ; and she consented to ac cept him as protector and escort. Cupid seems to have been bent on making mischief from the hour of their meeting, and with fresh-filled quiver kept up a persistent target practice at their hearts. Day after day, as the train rolled on through the mountain fastnesses and over the great plains of the West, the little arrowy god never for a mo ment forsook them, and they did find it “ —pleaßant, Riding on a rail.” Matters were brought to a focus in a somewhat shorter space of time than Mrs. Grundy assigns to Avooers ; but both were fully satisfied, and they determined to take a life ticket together. Thinking it would boa neat surprise to their friends, and having that sublime indifference to the opinions of others Avhich is such a distinctive peculiarity of the American character, they decided to stop at Cleveland and have the by* menial knot tied at once, They ar« rived by the afternoon train on Satur day, and having but few prelimina ries to arrange, within a couple < f hours the twain had been declared one in the most orthodox manner by one of our squires. The night ex press East bore tho happy counle on their wav. We have briefly given the facts as related to us, and our readers will agree with us that the affair deserves to take rank as one of the prettiest romances of the day, Joseph Rametta has played tho flute at the Boston Museum "for tbc past 26 yeara without being abseut from a performance.
