We move that the Felton— Candler combination let Jay Gould rest—as peacefully as he (tan. Dr. Candler cun not damn, ;• nor can Mrs. Felton save.

We need more like him in Gem- fta. We are in receipt of a communica tion signed “Beauty,” which, we regret to say, enmo too Into for the acceptance of our proposition. Wo do not doubt “Beauty’s” good looks at all hut think if her (?) mustnehos weie less flowing, she (?) would bo better able to assume a more dignified look; which, wc suggest, would be of incalculable benefit iu her (?) school-room. Every democratic candidate for county officers in White county •lections, was defeated last week. While tho defeat was humiliating to n certain extent, we know just where to place tho blame. We started out wrong, wo*enginoored badly, and Anally, we were! be trayed by more than one of tho most trusted and influential men in our ranks. Devotion to princi ple was too often sacrificed to personal prejudice or pe cuniary interest, for us to succeed when tho odds were ns eloso as it is known thev aro iu White county. We accept the defeat in the best possible grace (which is bad enough) and trust to the Lord and our newly elected oflfeers to keep our county clear of mort gages, murder, mud-dogs and other attendant evils, and to see that the laws are properly execu ted and justice done to all alike. Tho hist political battle for two years to come, has been fought and decided. Now, lot us come together in harmony, grounding our arms in peace, and pull all as one man, for a new era of pros perity. Drop a kindly word of advice, whore you see your neigh bor going in the Wrong direction, whether it bo in the way he plows his field, or cares for his family, or worships his God. The past vein of political strife has engendered bitterness and hatred; it has estranged friends; it has broken the confidence that existed between father and son, brother and brother. Go to work now, and apply tho salve of mutual forgiveness to these sore places; forget the bickerings and back-bitings of the past, and lay your plans for a bountiful harvest in peace and prosperity for tho future. The Moon. The moon is popularly suppos ed to he constructed of cheese in a highly immature state—the veracity of which supposition, we aro unprepared to contradict. The moon is possessed of some wonderful pecularitics, among which is the fact that it is inhab ited by only one man. That is supposed to bo the reason young girh get struck on the tnooii. Another and by no means the least of the moons peculiarities, is tbe fact that it shiues. More, in sonic places, and In others, con siderably less. Not only docs moonshine vary in quantity and locution, but in quality there is perhaps a taster difference, than either of the former two. North east Georgia, and White county, is one of the fuvored spots of the moon. Moonshine, flowing in crystal wavelets, floods our whole mountain region at times when thick, murky clouds overspread the other portions of country. This is more noticeable about Christinas and election days than at any other period of the year. It sometimes proves dangerous, and those who revel too freely in its silver waves, very often go liome-aiid apply u bread poultice to the bruised spot. Moonshine generally creates an appetite for salt mackerel for breakfast, and enlarges the size of the lint-bund very considerably. II. II. McG.

Tits following extracts from tlio exchanges of the Department of nj?ri- ciilturu, (lo wo bnliove contain sound advice and information of value to farmers. cisrvitit as a ntiiTil.iZBR, suited best TO MIDDLE AND NOUTII OKOItOIA' Tho clovpr plant yields tho nicest ma nures, and that is the stuff that most farmers most need. (Hover gives good wheat, erfrn. meat., milk anil tho cheapest ntid host of nil fertilizers. Wheat and clover should take the place of woods and sassafras bushes. I look lmclt over fifty years, ami make a note of the fact that tho farms of this locality on which clover lias been grown with the greatest regularity, are today Uio farthest from exhaustion. Clover is such a help in solving tint problem of uvailflble planlfood. that l believe it to bo a work of benevolonco to help in the management of it. Thero is one blunder, almost universal, which I believe largely red aces the vnfno of clover, both for feed, seed and fertility, and this is tlio universal habit, of pastur ing young clover ns soon ns the wheat is ont of tho field, i do not think it is even a wise policy to pasture for a month or six weeks after harvest, and boliove it better to lay down a rnlo ne : to pasture the first full under any circn stances. Thin rule I harp, folio twonty years, and lxjUov] been the gainer by it. Ah a recapitulation rather to enforce with all smal ofojjris t.xJollow f it is the ohoapestSwny of fer keeping your land clean at your commai Do uot lie so greedy for ft little feed as to pasture the young clover before it hns made growtli enough to cover tho laud,for by so doing you will in the loud run have much less feed and less benefit to the land. Re member that a soil densoly shaded is always improved, and that no other crop you can grow will furnish as good shade as clover. HOW AND WHEN TO ROW CLOVER, September is the best, month iu which to sow clover; October is probably the next bert,; if not sown before the last of October it is better to wait until Feb ruary. It. is not considered tho best practice, by the most experienced clover- growers in the southern border of the clover-growing section, to sow the seeds with small grain. Success is more certain when clover is sown by itself or with soma other grass, like orchard, bluo grass, etc. If you sow in February we would advise not to sow with oats or other grain. There is no advantage to be gained in breaking tho land earlier than a week or two before so wing,unless it mny bo necessary to break earlier in order to get jt into good condition, Tlio soil should be well pulverized and har rowed smooth. Sow about twelve { .omuls of clover seed per acre, if sown )V itself; if with orchard grass, uso eight or ten pounds of clover and one and one half bushels of orchard grass seed. While the surface is mellow and fresh from recent harrowing, mix the clover seed with ashes or sifted soil, or with a good fertilizer, and sow half one way and half the other, so as to got a uniform distrilmtionr, then sow the orchard gross, or other grass seed, in tho same way. No covering, by plow.brush, or harrow, is necessary, the next rain will cover sufficiently. If tho soil is not rich enough to bring a half a bale of cotton, or twenty-live bushels of corn per acre, it would bo well to fertilize it, using not less than two hundred pounds of good amu’oniateil phosphate. FARMING A SCIENCE. Farming is a real science, and not mere plowing and dropping seed in the ground; any negro can do that, but to sow and plow with judgement, to under stand the law of nature, a«d to tako advantage of tlieso laws means success. When a farmer says—“it is too much trouble, I have not tho time," 1 know how to gage bis judgement. Whatever will give or advance prosperity in any business, there is always a time to do thgt thing. adopt business methods. Of many remedies one worth trying is business. That old saw, business is business, contains a world of meaning: it is fully of sound common sense. Every former ought to be a first-rate business man. In this age be must be or he will fail as sure ns fate. Show mo a farmer who has no head for business and you will point to a man who is on the road to ruin. But what do wo mean by first-rate business man f Is tho farmer who pro duces abundant crops, of the best quality, at the least cost, a good business man? Not necessarily; suehnmanis undoubte dly a good farmer; but ho might be at the same time a poor business man. There are a large number of farmers in the country who year after year pro duces abundant crops, of the best quality ami at the least cost, and yet grow whnt quantities, when shall it be pro duced and how, when, where and for whnt price, and to whom shall it be sold? WIIY nor RAISE YOUR OWN WORK ANIMALS. The following from The Southern Cultivator shows that at 8 cents per pound, Georgia pays 100,000 bales of cotton for horses and mules. Can our farmers prosper and pursue thin course? “A careful estimate reveals tbe fact that most of the counties in middle Georgia have for long years, paid, in actual cash, from eighteen to thirty thousand dollars, annually, for mules and horses brought from the west. Striking a low averago from tho entire State, we find between, three ami four million dollars taken from tin state for stock that could be raised for a nominal sum upon our own fields. What stup endous folly, when it is conceded o:i nil hands that our stock can bo raised at less cost than in the markets from which we buy. Grass grows ils freely; our soil produces foruge us abundantly; our winters are far less rigorous and the necessary case, therefore, less ex pensive. Every tiling is favorubln to tho enterprise; wisdom and economy urgo the undertaking. Every farmer should raise, at least, tho stock needed upon his farm. It greatly helps the general good to hold annual ci.lt shows, both ns an evicenco of progress and an enconragemeut to others. USE MORE FERTILIZERS. The farmers of tho sontli do not use enough mnnure, or to state it in a dif ferent form, they take from the soil every year very much more than they return to it in tnannre. It is easy to show, that fertilizers pay better divi dends than any other investment on tlio farm. Tho conclusion is irresistible that we should use more fert-'lizers ; not com mercial or bought fertilizers alone, but home manures, composts, green crops turned under, marls, etc., everything that will add more to the yield of the grop than the copt of its application. To have an "abundance of stable or barnyard manures there must be an in crease in the number of animals fed. This gives diversity to tho farm and in creases I ho s.rtfrces ofjncome. A well fed cow will dptrly pay for her keep in pismire, besides a good profit on tbe flutter sold anOfeonsuinetl. “For tho past two or three years I have been subject to cramping pains in the stomach,” says Mr. W.
