The Way to Woo.
Don’t be in too great a hurry;
Hurries never pay;
Take your time—a wary general
Always feels his way.
Do not pull your line too quickly;
Rather let it play.
Take her sometimes to a concert—
Sometimes to a ball;
Sometimes spend a pleasant evening —
Sometimes only call ;
Sometimes ’twill be far the wisest
Not to go at all!
Do not meet your would-be rivals
With a jealous frown;
Snow her that you don’t care two-ponce
For any man in town.
Praise her other beaux; then surely
She will run them down.
Send her presents—not too costly—
Trifles light as air;
Dainty fruits to please her palate;
Flowers for her hair—
Something that will show you chose it
Fairest for the fair.
Vex her sometimes (constant sunshine
Is so very tame);
Just a little dash of water
Brightens up a llame;
Love that doesn’t lizz and splutter
Isn’t worth the name.
Then at last, some quiet evening
(Moonlit nights are stale),
Drop into her cosy parlor,
Looking rather pale.
Strive to hide your woe unuttered,
But be sure to fail.
Just hint of a distant journey
Asa secret half confessed;
Darkly speak of hidden sorrow,
That forbids you rest;
Whisper that ’tis hai and to leave her,
But, perha’ps, ’tis best.
Then, if she should blush and tremble
With a shy surprise—
If there is no roguish sparkle
Twinkling in her eyes—
Then—then tell the old, old story
Told first ’neath Eden’s skies.

“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF

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
! TURK. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate of Lime in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

Dear Sib: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Wabbenton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. W. G. 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 I can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sib : 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 triod. Respectfully,
' J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I nave use
‘‘BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not the '
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since the war.
W. H. PILCHER.
Barnett. Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir : 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. F. HUBERT.

Dear Sir: I consider your “EXCEL
SIOR GUANO” a most excellent manure.
Yours, truly, etc.,

IF. G. Busey, Ksq.
Dear Sir : Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was the best I
ever used in my life, making the best yield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. 1
used last year one ton, and while it did
woll, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best l have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
IF 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
te-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. Respectfully,
THOMAS ALLEN.
Thomson, Ga., January 20, 1875.
Mr. IF. G. Buseu.
Dear Sib: The Busey’s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, Ac.
