Old Times.
There’s a Ueautifui song on the slumberous
air . j
That drifts through the valley of dreams;
It comes from a clime where the roses 1
were
And a tuneful heart, and bright brown hair ,
That waves in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure, and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there,
A glimmering cross and a glittering crown,
A thorny bed and a couch of do\^n,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
A rosy leaf and a dimpled hand,
A ring and a plighted vow;
Three golden rings on a broken hand,
A tiny track on the snow-white sand.fi
A tear and a sinless brow.
There’s a tincture of grief in the beautiful
song
That sobs on the Summer air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down in the soni as it t' embles along
From a clime where the roses are,
We h> ard it first at the dawn of day,
And it mingles with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And Its melody lloweth so swiftly away,
And we call it now “Old Times.”

Ad sobe of Autubd sig:
Sobe praise the Waiter's virgid snows,
But give be, give be Sprig!

A pretty good story is told of one of
Governor Ti'den’s staff. It is said that
when the individual referred to first
presented himself en militaire to his
wife and little daughter, the latter,
after gazing at him in wonder for a few
minutes, turned to her mother and ex
claimed, “Why, ma, that’s not a real
soldier ; it’s pa!”

' A clergyman was sent for suddenly
to go to a cottage, where he found a
man in bed. “ Well, my frfeud, what
induced you to send for me? ” The
patient, who was rather deaf, appealed
to his wife. “ What did he say?” “He
says,” shouted the woman, “what the
ueuce did you send for-him for? ”

BUSBY'S
“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF
Dissolved Bones, 1,300 lbs.
Peruvian Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 “
(Patented.)
I CL AIM for the above Fertilizer that it Is
richer in the elements valuable to
the Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Dr.Liebig,
! of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
I refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against me. 1 claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because In each pound
of it there is as much valuable material as
in two pounds of any of the cheap rock
phosphates. IT IS DRYER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TES, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate ot Lime in it is better than tiiat ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

Dear Sir : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
not think 1 gave BUSEY’S GUANO a fair
trial. I put half as much of it to the acre
as I did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same, i thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

Sir : I have been asked my opinion m re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,
and in reply will f-ay I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any or them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam sat sfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.
Hespeetfully, R R BARKSDALE.

IV. G. Busey, Aiken, S. C.:
Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUShY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales of cotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel
& Rowland. Very truly,

IV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, S.C.
Dear Sib : In reply to your inquiry as
to the effect of your ‘ EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Dear Sir : 1 used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of laud, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.
R • pectfully, J- H. WALKER.
Warrenton, Ga., January 23, 1875.
Mr. IV. ii. Busey.
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland—“ BUSEY’S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if 1 can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried. Respectfully,
J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO forsev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, 1 do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since ™’ pILCHER

Dear Sir: 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;

Dear Sir : Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was tho best I
ever used in my life, making the best yield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. I
used last year one ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but it whs
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best t have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.

IV. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sib: Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is ;.t hand. I made no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
tor-ted it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
favor of your Guano, and I. was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot weather in August proved fatal
in this vicinity. To those wishing to use
Guano, I feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. ALLEN.
