AnuMiff the Rif Hug*.
Our Mr. J. B. 8., with his daughter,
went up to Bowcrsville last Friday expect
ing to go up the road Saturday morning,
having made arrangements to stay all night
with W. A. Holland, the model farmer of
Hart County ; but while at Bowersvillc a
special train with the stockholders of the
Atlanta & Charlotte Railroad came along,
and kindly admitted them into this select
party. Some of the wealthiest men of the
United States were of the crowd. “ Old
B.” had a seat by Mr. Sibley, who asked
a great many questions about the country,
its farming operations, &c.; and how the
people were pleased with the little narrow
gauge. Mr. B. replied the people were
delighted with it; as for himself he had
but one fault to find—and that was, a man
could save money by shipping his cotton
from Bowersville to Elberton and resha
ping it back by Bowersville. He could
see no sense in such work. Mr. Sibley
replied he was something of a farmer him
self and he would enquire into that. A
gentleman asked Mr. B. how many acres
he had ever seen in one cornfield. “Well.
20 acres is counted a big lield in Hart.”
The gentleman said Mr. Sibley had 20,000
acres in one field year before last.
“ How many plows did he run ?”
“740 —with mtlles.”
Old B found out that Mr. Sibley had
420 farms in cultivation, and came to the
conclusion that he was “something of a
farmer.”
One of the party said : “ I understand
you are the fighting editor o( a paper in
Hartwell.” Old B. said, ” They call me
that, but I never have any fighting to do ;
several inen have come from a distance to
give me a thrashing, but when they see me
they tuck their tails and go back.”
Old B. had a nice time, and he concludes
that rich men who hjive made their own
money have plenty of common sense and
politeness, and arc more agreeable com
panions than upstarts, who carry all they
have on their backs.

Tt has been circulated by a certain person
(for what purpose i know not, except it is
for one very malicious) that Mr. J. W.
Kay. in company with his brother. Benson
Kay. and myself, went to his wedding
drunk. This is an imfamous lie ; and the
person who originated, instigated or told
such a lie is a slanderer of the blackest
grade. If any one doubts this assertion
they are referred to the Rev. J. 11. Mc-
Mullan, S. W. l'eek. t*. I*. Proffitt, or
any one who was there at the wedding.
There was not a drop of liquor touched by
either of the parties, on*by any one else

On last Friday morning, the train for
Elherton was an hour later than usual
leaving Toccoa, awaiting the loading of
guano cars for Bowersville. While sitting
at the window looking at the beautiful
shrubbery around the depot, we observed
a fine-looking gentleman, with an elegant
set of black whiskers, shooting at snow
birds. We did not see him kill any, but
one time he knocked at least a hat full of
feathers out of one. We were told the
gentleman was brother Schaefer of the
Toccoa News. Wo know it was not want
of supplies that lie was hunting meat, for
no man in X. E. Georgia has as large
quantities of meat, corn and Hour as he ;
besides if lie had desired larger game he
could have found the howling wolf and
the hugging bear on the outskirts of the
city. But there is no accounting for the
freaks of editors.

The Apollinaris water that has been

people love so much to be humbugged,
especially those who have the faith to
swallow all sorts of vile liquids sold them
as Dutehce or Frenchec, but which always
turns out to be Yankee.
On last Friday night, Mr. Ansley was
writing in the depot at Toccoa. A coal
popped out from the lire and burned a
small hole through the floor. Mr. Ansley
poured two buckets of water through the
hole to extinguish the lire and drowned
three small pigs of a litter that had recent

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
The base of this fertilizer is identically
the same as that of Peruvian Guano,
namely,
SALT WATER FISII.
Peruvian Guano was the excrement of
sea birds, which was simply the digested
animal fibre and bone of the salt water
lisli on which they subsist. Soluble Guano
is the same salt water fish used as a base
and manipulated by scientific means with
Phosphate of Potash, in which the Peru
vian Guano is deficient. In other words,
while this fertilizer is manipulated by both
natural and scientific means for a scientific
purpose , Peruvian Guano was but the
crude form of the natural supply, and its
combinations were disproporlioued to the
purpose of agriculture.
The fish that swarm along the shores at
Woods Hull and vicinity are captured in
seins; the oil, which is deleterious to agri
culture, is extracted, and the org nic mat
ter —the Ammonia and Phosphate of Lime
—is manipulated by scientific means for
the specific purpose of fertilization of cer
tain crops and laud.

The matrimonial lever is raging—raging

have had another. Can there be no relief
from this mania? Aro we poor forlorn
hoys soon to be left on tho cold charities
of this world, excluded front the society of
the young ladies, with
“ No our to love, none to caress t"
Such a fate seems inevitable if this thing
continues much longer.
Wc were lmppy in an invitation to the

day evening )3lh inst.. we rejwircd to the

the marriage ceremony of her granddaugh

order : Miss Lula Thornton ami Mr. Pey
ton McMullan. Miss Alice Stephenson and
.Mr. Jimmie Blackwell. Miss Sallie Rich
ardson and Mr. Foster Blackwell, Miss
Mollie Blackwell and Mr. W. B. Sadler.
The ladies were elegantly attired. The
bride, who is one of our most charming
young ladies, was as beautiful as she is
amiable. Her trousseau was faultless, but
as I am not familiar with ladies' dress I
cannot describe the material. The hand
some groom deported himself in a maimer
becoming one in his position. After the
ceremony we were conducted to supper,
where every delicacy imaginable awaited
ns. Miss Mollie, and those who nssistrd
her. certainly displayed very line taste in
the arrangement of the table. The whole
table was presided over by two ducks—
sine pennis. Later in the evening we had
some delightful promenades, and excellent
music from the young ladies. One of El
bert County’s belles was in attenduuee and
played havoc willfcphe hearts of the young
men. We were very much amused at one
young man who was very particular to re
late that he had had a difticulty with his
sweetheart, and that lie was now “ heart
whole and fancy free.” Sich is life. At
an early hour of the 14th we wended our
way to the residence of the groom's father,
where we received a hearty welcome; but
other duties called us away, and we re
luctantly departed, with many kind wishes
for the couple's future happiness.

Sunday morning, 10 o'clock, A. M.
Last night, after supper, a gay young
gentleman of our city (for this is hound to
be a city) captured, without leave; one of
our fairest maidens and fled on the wings
of love to the nearest preacher'*, where wo
suppose they were joined together in ti e
holy bonds of tiintriinony: Wo haven't
heard full particulars, therefore cannot
give them now. We hope the youngeouplo
may live long and he happy.
If Bowersville on the K. A. L. R. R.,
don't become a city very soon, it w ill not
be because it is not making rapid strides in
that direction. W itlt its large .store houses
of general uicrchauilWi its stupendous
guano and provision depots, its numerous
hotels and boarding houses, these all go
to prove that it Is bound to outstrip all its
rivals in the march of progress. It is brim
ful of business, romance and tragedy. AT
ter n week's absence, you return and it
looks ns if a spell of enchantment had heen
enst over the place; it seems like some
great magician bad waved his magic w and
over the forest, and a city is springing in
to existence. S.

Mrs. Morrimnn Franks is quite ill—suf
fering from cancer on the face.
11. M. Holland cut his foot very badly
with an nx iceently, which will effect his
progress no little for a season.
Joseph Maret V Sons declare they wont
become offended if somebody will present
them with the little “ thou owest” for the
last season—at least for bagging and ties.
She forsook him and married another,
and now he plows regularly and sings
"On*‘B I was happy liut now 1 am forlorn."
The latest style among the colored bred
derin is to carry a huge pen above the ear
pointing about 45 degrees above zero. ,and
lecture upon the importance of an early
“ edication.” Amicus.
