The Georgia Advocate, formerly pub lished at this place, out now in Atlanta is very much improved in every way The typographic execution is superb, and the editorial department shows the work of a master hand. The Advocate is a re ligious weekly, edited by Rev. C. A. Ev ens, of the First M. E. Church South Atlanta. Ga., and is given to subscribers at $1 25 per year, post paid. If our Meth odist friends wont a good religious fami 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 for one yeur- Who will be the first to subscribe for the two? it was our pleasure to attend a spots- bit* given by the young ladiesst the Ho tel on last Monday evening; it was a Imp year party in park but Rot dnloio.

We have received from tl c "Indiana Seed Co.” two papers of seeds*— the China Bu*h Pea. *aid to give a >i*ld beyond all pftcedent, is planted in the same manner us corn. They are said as a diet to have no cquql, and especially adapted to the South. A paexago con tabling printed instructions and seeds will Ire sent by maitun receipt ofl’O cts in stamp* by addicting, Indiana Seed o.,” Indianapolis, Indiana; ”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. 8HOTH.

As there is to be a gathering ot the children nnd Sun day-school people of Cherokee county, would it not be well to nieet at Canton instead of Woodstock, Canton beinr* a more central point?
