The Georgia Advocate, formerly pub
lished at this place, out now in Atlanta

ly newspaper they caunot do better, we
think, than to subscribe for the Advoca'e.
By the way, anyone giving us $2.00 can
have the Advance and tlie Advocate both

subscribe for the two?

it mainly is due to our visiting young

repartees, the sweetest music, the best
singing and a pleasant time getirrnlly.
All came away Well pleased with ex
clamations of fun, mirth mid laughter
wishing hut how soon another like a-
fair of enjoyment may be particinuted

”A Carrier Pigeon.'’
What was it? At five minutes past
ten o’clock, a. m , on the 9th inst., Mr.
D. C. Crane, of Washington, D. 0., and
Mr. Whitaiore, of our town, observed
flying southward over our towu and as
straight as an arrow shot from a bow, a
bird of the pigeon genus making a pe
culiar flopping sound. It was pronounc
ed by the former gentlemen a "carrier
pigeon.” We yet remain in wonder
ment—can some one give us light?
Fanners and Furjiliferx
Thu plant ng season is d awing neat*
and oar farm*r* are quite busy with the
work of preparation. They are energetic
and hopeful, the one is a duty und the
other a -privilege. But all should be
careful that-they do not suff.-r their ener
gies to relax asthf warm season approach
es. Thu farmer may display all energy
and judgement, and careuflness in the
spring, nnd y, t fail of a good harvest at
reaping time, if he makes the mistake! f
considering preparation the one essential.
Wc have aften heard men remark : * Pre
pare land nod plant well ind you win
the battle." This Is essential—good prep
aration, but it will never insure good and
abundant harvest, without persistent and
well directed cultivation. All depends
i.n cultivation at last, because you can
hare no crop witnout it.
There are great quantities of guano
being shipped into oar community —
greater than ever before. And we have
nothing to say against this use of com
mercial fertilizers. They hare been the
salvation of our dmntry since the war.
Guano has supplemented slave lib«,r,
which we lost a* a result of the war - and
whatever may be said against its use is
answered by reference to the great it •
crease in our cotton crops during tnssu
years just passed. But the grand and
fatal mistake which our farmers make is
this: They roly too implicitly ou guano.
Some think that if they only have
guano on their land tli«j a-e alright.
But the same may be said of this as of
preparation; guano will not make a crop
of itself. It you use guano, and would ob
11in profit from its use, you must culti
vate well. Especially should you work
well and fast in tlie early spring aud
summer. Guano does its work at once,
and if you would reap the full I i'lefit of
the money you invest in it you must be
up and doing while the sun warms the
ground and makes veg.tation of all kinds
shoot up. Out out the weeds and grass,
lest they steal your profits by absorbing
the strength of your guano;
With good preparation, an intelligent
use of good commercial fertilizers and
active and well directed cultivation, we
may expect good crops, for the Divine
Ruler of the world lias promised the
rain and the sunshine.

he carefully considered. As there is to
be a gathering ot the children nnd Sun
day-school people of Cherokee county,

so ot once,
