From many portions of the county comes the cry of drouth, although in some parts there have been seasons end the crops look very well. Smith’s district lias sullered the most, in part of which there has l>een no rain in twelve weeks. We notice where dry weather lias been that crops of cotton and corn look very small, but the cot ton looks healthy, and with rain soon we l>elieve fair crops will be made. With a seasonable rain won, taking the whole county, there will be a fine crop we hope. ELBERT FAIR ASSOCIATION. With the advent of the Railroad to Elberton, her people arc endeavoring to get up a great many new projects, amongst which we sec a fair associa tion. that we suppose intends to hold an exhibition this fall. Ever since the organization of our Agricultural Society we have had this matter up, and our people have discussed the merits of getting up such an institution for this county. The efforts of our Society have never amounted to anything more than wind work; but it seems to ns that we might profit by the action of our neighboring county, and our farm ers could commence now to get differ ent farm products, stock and articles to exhibit at the Elbert county fair, and enter into competition for their prizes. We suppose their fair will be free, or her prize lists will be free at least, to the comjietition of her neigh boring counties. We respectfully ask our Elbert county brethren that they keep our society posted on.the progress of their work, which we shall watch with much interest. WEIGHING CHICKENS. As the season is now at hand for bringing in spring chickens for sale, we would suggest that the fairest way for the buyer and the farmer would be to weigh them. Let them be worth so much a pound, and they will bring their value according to their weight. We saw in the Atlanta Constitution the other day that, the chickens shipped there from Tennessee were as a rule much finer than those from the Air Line region, and gave as the reason that in Tennessee the rule was there to weigli them. Here the practice is to buy them at so much a heal, and there is a great ditference in them, and the farmer that feeds his chickens does not get the worth of them in market, while he who lets them take the range and subsist any way gets more than they are worth. •<> The following exchanges are received for July: The Southern Farmers’ Monthly, published by J. 11. Estill, of Savan nah, and e iited by L. C. Bryan, of Thornasville—price $2 a year. It is full of information for the farmer, on all subjects connected with his" calling. This is a home journal, not to be ex celled in the United States, and we hope to see it soon in the hands ol many of the farmers of this county. Also, the National Live Stock Jour nal, of Chicago. 111., which is a live publication—the price is only $2 a year, and would be a profitable book in the hands of our fanners. There is an il lustration in this number of anew breed of sheep called the “Oxford Down,” and are claimed to be very fine for mutton, and also for the pro duction of wool. We think, however, the American Merino is the best sheep for our country. Flies. Pay Ur, July 8, 1870. Mr. Editor : We have heard that walnut leaves, kept suspended around a room, kitchen or in a stable, or any place infested with tlies, is a preven tive, and they will not come where the same is placed. Has any one tried this ? or can any one give us a remedy that will keep flies away, other than the fly traps ? 11. Great Yields of Corn. t outhern Farmer* Monthly, An old Delaware county (l J a.) fanner gives an account of his successful corn planting; gives the figures showing the results in several cases, which have been well attested, where greater yields than any he had quoted : In the year 1853 John A. Wilton, of Franklin county, Maine, raised bushels on half an aero. James Armstrong, of Knoxville, Tenn., raised in 1859 four thousand bushels on forty acres. Dr. John Tuttle, twenty-five miles north east of New York city, raised one sea son an average of over eighty-eight bushels on fourteen and a half acres, .and an average of one hundred and ten bushels on a six-acre lot. Dr. J. W. Parker, of Columbia, South Caro lina. grew, in 1857, upon his farm, near that city, two hundred bushels and twelve quarts upon one measured acre of ground, and one hundred and six teen bushels aud six quarts upon an other acre. Illinois has 800.000 milk cows. To properly care for them and their pro ducts requires the labor of 40,000 men and 60,000 horses ; while they demand for their subsistence the use of over 3,000,000 acres of land. Their to‘al money value is placed at $124,800,000. .UT WIWItTI.. THE BEST COOK STOVE IN AMERICA! If HI ill lllilll it lit JOM B. BSISI A. K.

A 1. 1 description of wires ar* retnt*dial by the prop*i nd diligent tine of this inestimable preparation. To !

There is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which need not be named here, attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended as a sovereign remedy. In curing such poisonous sores it never fails to restore the sys- I ttnn to a healthy state if the Pills betaken according to the printed instructions.

Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rubbing the Ointment three times a day into the chest, throats and neck of the juttient ; it w ill HoCP. ik* net rate and give immediate relief.

All sufferers front these complaint* should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread ami water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in : it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and (host. To allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or ten Pills should be taken night and morning. The Ointment will produce per spiration. the grand essential in all cases of fevers, sore throats, or where there might le an oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other causes. Piles, Fistulas, Strictures. The above class of complaints will be removed by nightly fomenting the parts with warm water, and then by most effectually rubbing in the ointment. Persons Muttering from these direful complaints should lose not a moment in arresting their progress. It should be understood that it is not sufficient mere ly to snvar the Ointment on the affected part*, but it must be well rubbed in for a considerable time two or three times a day. that it may be taken into the system, whence it w ill remove any hidden sore or wound a* effectually as though palpable to the eve There again bread and w ater poultices, after the rub bing in of the Ointment , will do great service.

Although the shove complaints differ widely in their origin uml nature, vet they all require local treatment. Many of the worst cases of such dis eases w ill yield in a comparatively short space of time when this Ointment is diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed.
