On Christmas night the festivities of the season began. The young people assembled at the beautiful home of Mrs. J McK. Gunn, where a right royal welcome awaited them. The young ladies were very careful not to walk under the mistletoe and the young men too timid to in sist. At eleven o'clock the guests were invited out to the spacious dining hall, where the tables were beautifully decorated, and laden with the sundry “good things to eat.” The minute* rapidly swell ed into hours amid the pleasures of the evening ami good nights were said after the finding of the verdict that the evening had liecn a must pleasant one.

One of the |H-inciple ele ments in this Guano is pure ani mal Imne, made from hones pur chased in Georgia. Alabama and Florida, thus utilizing a material which has heretofore been wasted. Their principle source of Amngia is cotton seed meal, which, all tile hemisls and agriculturalists of the Sooth say is tbs best adapted to tome products of the South. They use no kainit, but actnal potash, one hundred pounds of which will yield as large a percen tage in a ion as 800 pounds of kainit. Kainit contains only, about 10 to 12 per cent, of potash Another striking and very im portant feature in this Guano is its high guarantee of Soluble Phosphoric Acid. The chemist of tins state as well a* of Alabama advises planters to purchase those ferlilizurs which coulaiu the laig- est amount ol Soluble Phosphoric Acid. yet planters cannot tell from the guaranteed analysis which the law compels every manufacturer to place on each package, which guano ha* the largest percentage of this element, liecause hut few of them in other guaranteed analyses show any distinction in the three forms in wliivli Phosphoric Acid a|ipears. Here is an open door for fraud in the manufacture of guano that ev ery planter should watch, for Sol uble Phosphoric Acid is relative ly worth 12 cents per |>ound; Re verted 5 cents, and Insoluble 4 cents in its results to the planter. This is a home enterprise, headed by men identified with the male rial welfare of the country, men who cannot afford to jeopardize their reputation and fortunes in offering a spurious fertilizer to their neighbor*. For these rea sons we think this Company should receive a libera) patronage at the hands ot our planters. The Home Mixture Guano will lie found for sale in Culhl>ert by Mr. J. C. Martin. For Male.
