TOBACCO, ITS CULTURE
AND CUBE.
The first step necesary to raising
tobacco successfully is the selection
and preparation of the soil. To
bacco thrives best in a deep, mel
low soil, either naturally rich or
made so by some good fertilizer.
If old land is selected, it should he
turned over in the fall if there is
anything on the land to turn ; if
not, apply some coarse farm man
ure. There is nothing better for
this purpose than half-rotted straw
and lot manure.
Land treated in this manner in
the fall or early winter will be
pulverized by the action of the
frosts, and will be in excellent con
dition for the final preparation for
the plants in spring. After the
frost is all out of the ground, agood
coating of compost should be
spread broadcast and the land
broken about half as deep as the
first plowing, running across the
first. Just before you are ready to
set out the plants, run a heavy har
row over the land and lay off the
rows three feet apart, with a shovel
plow. In this furrow put some
nod fertilizer, at the rate of 200
pounds per acre, or even more, if
your land is thin. Then run
through it with a narrow plow, in
order to mix the fertilizer with the
soil. Then bed on this with a one-
horse turning plow, and on this bed
run a roller, and your land is ready
for setting out the plants, which
should be about one foot and a half
apart.
New ground or an old field that
has grown up and been cut down,
should bo treated somewhat differ
ently from old, smooth land that
has been in cultivation, but
thorough breaking and clearing the
land of tufts aud roots is all that is
necessary.
PREPARATION* AND CARE OF SEED
BEDS.
It is of the utmost importance to
the planter to have an early and
abundant supply of tobacco plants.
To secure this the seed may be
sown any time betweeen the loth
of December and the loth of March
—the earlier the better. The ground
selected should be virgin soil of
andy texture, rich and moist, with
full exposure to the sun, but shel
tered to the north and west by
rising ground or growing timber
igainst the cold winds of early
I>ring.
The ground having been well
■boson, clear it of rocks and weeds
and rake it off well. Then burn it
thoroughly by building a good fire
of brush and wood on it, which
■hould be kept burning until you
are sure that all vegetation and
germs of insects are killed. A good
brisk fire kept up for about two
hours will accomplish this. After
the ground has cooled off it should
be cleared of everything except the
ashes, and then dug up thoroughly
and raked off nicely. The soil
<hould not he inverted, however.
Tobacco seed are very small and
too much care cannot be taken in
preparing a seed-bed for its recep
tion .
The bed is now ready for seed
ing ; the seed may be sown broad-
st over it, or a better plan is to
mark off drills with a sharp stick
about one and a half or two inches
apart, and into these little drills
prinkle the seed ; they should not
jc raked in, but the bed should be
trodden with the feet or rolled, or
patted with the back of a hoe ; a
simple but very effective method,
to take a piece of plank and lay
__ on the bee and tramp on it, then
take it up aud place it down where
the first impression stops, and so
until the entire bed is gone
r. The writer has found this a
ttor plan than treading, as the
■oil and seeds are not so apt to ad-
re to a smooth plank as they are
. the feet. The bed should have
trench all round it so that it will
thoroughly drained; nothing
drowns more easily than a tobacco
plant.
quantity of seed.
One and one-half teaspoonsfuls
seed will sow 100 square yards
thirty by thirty feet of bed. The
ed should be mixed with a con-
■nient quality of of dry ashes be-
sowing, as there is great
danger of sowing too thickly.
If the ground on which you pre
pare your seed bed is uot naturally
rich it should be made so by apply
ing fine, well-rotted stable manure
which must be free from seeds of
weeds and grass.
The bed should he thickly cover
ed with fine brush, to prevent both
drying and freezing of the sod, by
which the plants are either stunted
or uprooted.
The tobacco bug generally makes
its appearance about the firM o
of
fore
April. An excellent preventive
against this enemy of the young
plant is to nail a twelve-inch plank
to stakes driven in the ground at
each corner of the bed, and throw
some earth against the lower edge
of the planks, and then sow the
outer edges of the bed with black
mustard seed. The coldframe will
serve the additional purpose of
keeping the bed warm and moist,
and should not be omitted; the
mustard will spring up quickly,
and upon it this bug loves to feed,
and will attack it and let the tobac
co alone. The plants will show
themselves about the first of
March, when an additional table
spoonful of seed should bo sown on
the bed ; after the plants are well
up, they should be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible by top dress
ing before each rain with some
good fertilizer, at the rate of a gal
lon to every 100 square yards; the
fertilizer should never be applied
while the plants are wet, with
either dew or rain for fear of scald
ing them. Dry leaves and young
grass or weeds should be hand
picked off the bed, but the cover
ing of brush should not be removed
permanently until the plants are
nearly large enough to set out. If
the plant begin to parch from
drouth the bed should be well wa
tered and covered with green
boughs laid upon a scaffold several
feet above the plants; they should
not be shaded too much, and indeed
it is seldom necessary to shade at
all unless very dry.
Watchman, What of the Night?
These are critical times, and a
word of warning may not be cit
of place, but altogether proper, as
we occupy neutral ground and can
speak without the least prejudice.
If there was ever a time when the
debtor and creditor classes should
have a proper conception of the
relations existing between the two,
now is that time. The future wel
fare of the creditor class all de
pends upon the prompt payment
of their debts if it be possible to
pay, and if not, then to secure
those they owe with such collater
als as will in turn secure loans
from banks and private individuals
who have money to lend. One or
the other of these can be done.
Next year the man without money
or credit had as well be in Africa
as here, as in either place he will
have a hard time. Besides, any
man with any sense of pride would
make almost any reasonable sacri
fice to maintain the standard of
honorable citizenship, which he
cannot do without dealing fairly
with his neighbor. We are grati
fied that so much of real heroic
manhood still remains, but it is
true that there are some who ciaim
to bo servants of the Most High
God, who have little regard for
name and family, judging by the
manner of dealing with their fel
lows. One square acre packed full
of such church members are worth
less, and a dead weight, and they
are a thousand times worse than
open and defiant enemies of the
gospel. The world looking at
Christians, so-called, who are con
tinually beating about seeing whom
they can devour, will tell you
plainly that if the grace of God
works that way they do not want
it. A good credit is a good bank
ing capital. Then why not main
tain it ? Times are hard and will
get more so if people do not quit
committing financial suicide. Pay
as long as long as you can and
then make a good note that can be
negotiated, and all will move off
smoothly and hard times will beat
a regular “Bull Bun” retreat. Cot
ton will go up to its proper stand
ard of value, because it will in a
measure be removed from the
arena of speculative manipulation
made possible by the necessity to
sell in the absence of money or a
good credit. Money always alert,
sees the main chance and profits
thereby. 1892 will be remarkable
for the antithesis of good and bad,
being the best year to some and
the worst to others. As to how
the debtor class will fare depends
upon how they treat those they
owe. Next year labor will be
plentiful and cheap. A\ ill you put
yourself in a position to utilize it ?
If you have money or credit all
will be well: Cotton culture of
necessity will be cut off through
out the South, so that a good price
may be expected for the next crop.
The tenant system in the main will
have to go, the share system and
wages will take its place. Upon
the whole changes will be the
order of the day, and it will be for
the better. See ?
The Alliance should not antagon
ize the Democratic party for
through it alone can they succeed
in setting what they want.
ATRIESTORY.
TUe Visible Appearance ot* The
Spirit ot a Dying Woman.
Marietta Jonrnal.
“If a man die shall he liv
again?” is a question that has been
propounded all through the at
Another question, is it possible for
disembodied spirits to come bac
to this world and make themselve
visible to human eyes? There was
related to the editor of the
Marietta Journal the other day,
an instance of this kind.
A well-known lady, who had
wasted away with that incurable
disease, consumption, lay on her
bed dying. She was unconscious,
and it was evident that in a few
hours her life would be at an end.
As her sister and a lady friend,sat
at the fireside in the stillness of
the night, the sister turned and
looked toward the bed where the
dying loved one reposed. As site
did so, there was a startled look on
her face, for she disinctly saw-
standing by the bedside, in white,
the spirit of her sister looking
down into her own face. The
other lady turned and looked
toward the bed and she also saw
the same sight. Not a word was
spoken by either. The first
thought that ran through the
minds of the couple of watchers
were, that the dear one was dead,
and her own spirit was taking a
last, lingering look at her own
face, bidding the old body good
bye. As the two women impulsive
ly arose from their seats, the spirit
form vanished. They went im
mediately to the bed, expecting to
find the loved one dead, but to their
surprise, she was still alive, but
unconscious. However, in a short
while she was dead, and the sweet
spirit, that had gazed upon its
tenement of clay, as one looking at
one’s self in a mirror, had taken its
eternal flight to the God who gave
it.
NVhat thoughts run through the
mind as this picture of the spirit
of one looking down into its own
fleshly face suggests. IIow that
spirit, released, witnessing the
quiet features, whose beauty had
at one time held in captivity the
hearts of men; lips that had spoken
words of tenderness and love; eyes
that had sparkled with magnetism ;
but now disease had come and
wasted the frame and driven out
the sweet spirit that once anima
ted that lovely body. How that
spirit must have loved that body,
and hated to part with it, and must
have said: Good-bye, old body,
good-bye! We have spent many
years together in happiness, and
often times in sorrow. Many times
the lips have smiled in joy, and
many times the eyelids have been
wet with tears. But I go and leave
you now. I go to live in that
house not made with hands eternal
in the heavens, where there will be
no more death, no more sorrow,
pain or tears. You go back to the
earth, old body, precious casket that
has held an immortal spirit, but I
go now to my Father’s house
“where are many mansions.” I
do not die, I cannot die, because
God lives, and He breathed the
breath of immortality into me, and
I become a living soul. But
precious old'body, you go back to
dust.
Nothing in nature dies. The wa
ter that trickles from mountain
side and goes on to the great sea,
comes back again in gentle show
ers. The leaves that fall to the*
earth in the fall, turns to mold,
enriches the earth and returns
again in the spring in other forms.
The golden grain with the sunshine
in its bearded sheaves, ripens to
give life again. There are changes,
but no death.
‘‘There is no death'! The stars go clown
To use upon some fairer shore.
And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown.
They shine forever more.
There is no death! The dust we tread,
Shall beneath the Summer showers,
Turn to golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
There is ne death! The leaves may fail,
The flowers may fade and pass away—
They only w ait through winter hour's,
The coming of, the ilav.
There is no death! An angel form,
Walks o’er the earth with silent tread, j
He bears our best beloved away,
And then we call them “dead.”
He leaves oui hearts all desolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers.
Transplanteddnto bliss, they now,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The Steamboat to bcSoId.
The Steamboat “City of Albany,”
will be sold before the Court House
door o* the first Tuesday in January
next—to satisty a mortagage fi fa
from Dougherty Superior Court in
favor of Nelson Tift, W. \Y. Wight,
N. F. Tift, and other.
This does not mean that the boat
will be discontinued, however, as
the Albany Navigation Company
propose to buy the boat; thus the
property will belong to home
enterprise almsot exclusively.
The cause of the sale is owing to
the failure of Mitchell and Baker
county parties refusing to pay up
the amounts they subscribed.
Captain Wight, President of the
company, stated, last night, to a re
porter, that the boat would not be
taken off the river, but make trips
between schedcduled points as
usual.—Albany News.

In response to numerous re
quest we publish below the various
demands set forth in the celebra
ted Ocala platform. It is taken
from the columns of the Southern
Alliance Farmer, and it is not
necessary, therefore, to vouch for
its genuineness:
1. (a) We demand the abolition
of national banks.
(b) We demand that the Govern
ment shall establish sub-treasuries,
or depositories in the several States,
which shall loan money direct to
the people at a low rate of interest,
not to exceed 2 per cent, per an
num, on non-perishable farm pro
ducts, and also upon real estate,
with proper limitations upon the
quantity of land and amount of
money.
(c) We demand that the •amount
of the circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
2. That we demand' that Con
gress shall pass such laws as will
effectually prevent the dealing in
futures of all agricultural and
mechanical productions; providing
a stringent system of procedure in
trials that will secure prompt con
viction, and imposing such penal
ties as shall secure the most per
fect compliance with the law.
3. We condemn the silver bill
recently passed by Congress, and
demand in lieu thereof the free
expense of another.
(b) We further demand a re
moval of the existing heavy tariff
tax from the necessitesof life, that
the poor of our land must have.
(c) We further demand a just
and equitable system of gradu
ated tax on incomes.
(d) We believe that the money
of the country should be kept as
much as possible in the hands of
the people, and hence we demand
that all national and State revenues
shall lie limited to the necessary
expenses of the Government, eco
nomically and honestly adminis
tered.
0. We demand the most rigid,
honest and just State and National
Governmental control and super
vision of the means of public com
munication and transportation, and
if this control and supervision does
not remove the abuse now exist*
;, we demand the Government
ownership of such means of com
munication and transportation.
7. We demand that the Congress
of the United States submit an
intendment to the Constitution
providing for the election of
United States /Senators by direct
vote of the people of each State.

LUNG TROUBLES, RHEUMATISM, ETC
Frequently a person is supposed to have
consumption when it is some other disease
altogether that is reducing his flesh and
making him look pale and thin.
J. W. Y'ates, Tullaboma, Tenn.,/writes:
“It does me good to praise Botanic Blood
Balm. It cured me of an abscess on tho
lungs and a tlima that troubled me two
years and that other remedies failed to
benefit.”
So you see it is sometimes well to try con
stitutional treatment. No remedy is so
good as ii. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) for
rebuilding wasted tissue, and giving health
to every portion of the system reached by
that great circulating stream of life, the
human blood. Again, it is often supposed
that colds and exposure are the only causes
of sciatca, rheumatism, etc. Such is not
always the case. It is frequently caused
by impurities in the blood.
Wm. Price, Lnttsville, Mo« writes: “I
was afflicted by sciatca and had lost the use
of one arm and one leg for nine years. I
went to Hot Springs and also tried different
doctors, but found no enre until I tried
Botanic Blood Balm. It made me sound
and well. I am well known in this vicinity.”
Observe, even when the renowned Hot
Springs failed, B. B B brought relief.
Remember, no matter what blood remedy
you have tried, or intend to try, B. B. B. is
the only one that will give you complete
satisfaction. Sold by R. L. Bruce, Bain
bridge, Georgia.

—This water is a very excellent articlo, evi
dently of true artesian origin, and is admit,
ably suited to drinking and other ordinary
purposes. The mineral matters dissolved are
those found usually in Artesian waters and
they impart slight alkalinity to the water,
which is desirable, medically A large
amount of Carbonic Acid Gas is held in so

H. C. White, State Chemist.
Bainbridge is situated on a bluff fifty feet
above the bed of the river, on land rolling
enough to thoroughly drain her streets o ’
all impurities. Her streets are bordered
from one end to the other with a growth of
live oak, water oak, red oak and cedar une
qualled in beauty and magnificence any
where in the world, and have given herthe
pseudonym of the “City of Oaks.” The
city has a handsome Court House a comfort
able Hotel, six churches—three white and
three colored. (Methodist, Baptistand pres-
byterian,)unexcelled public schools, a well
organized fire department, a weekly news-
oaper, a first class private Bank with $60,000
capital, with business that could profitably
employ much more and which will probably
soon bo added; a Cotton Compress, with a
capacity of 30 bales an hour; a complete Edi
son System of Incandescent Electric Lights,
a perfect system of Water Works reachingall
parts of city—which is absolutely free to con
sumers—(the only free water works system
in the known world) drawing the supply
from the above described wells. The City
now has in hand $8,000.00 for tho purpose
and will during the coming Winter and
Spring erect a commodious Academy and
elegantly fit it with all needed furniture and
appliances for modern School purposes.

a capacity of 45,000 feet of lumber per day,

Carriage Factory, Cigar Factory, Ice Fac

ces as any in Georgia, and with
few more manufacturing enterprises,

most desirable place of residence and busi

sugar cane, tobacco, peas, peanuts, ehufas
and every kind and variety of garden vege
tables; and fruits, such as peaches, pecans,
apples, grapes, straw berries and other
fruits. The water courses, springs and
lakes abound in a dozen varieties of the
finest fishes, winch may be taken the year
round; and the woods abound in small game
of every kind, Thousands of the finest salt
water fish and oysters can be had any day
fresh from the Gulf, by Steamer, to sav
nothing of the venison, bear steak, wild
