Unlike other wholesale houses—this firm, lias built up their extensive business, by dealing di rectly with tiie farmer,—and so long as the farmer prospers, just so tong will the financial standing of thus firm, rest upon a sale, sound, substantial basis. The firm of Hodgers, Worsham & Co„ hamlie annually more ferti lizers than any other h m«c in the State, with their trade steadily increasing, for the simple reason, that all goods sold by them, are ever f umd to be just exactly as rep resented and standard in every re speei. Their warehouse at Gray will goon be filled with hem y shipments of high grade Commercial good*, Acid phosphate, German Kainit and Cotton Seed meal ready for delivery to the trade. It is an established tact that fertilizers this season, will bo very scarce, owing to tin unusual scarcity of material at lactones, and as tie* demand in creases later on prices will advance. Every farmer should close his o d< rs now for future delivery, and take immediate advantages of the low prices, and reasonable term-} offered by this firm to their patrons. When we are offered such super ior inducements, we should not lies Bate to take advantage of thorn. Read their adv. in this issue.
