The sale of the Macon and Bir¬
mingham railroad was confirmed
by Judge Felton in the superior
court. An effort was made on
the part of the attorneys for the
Macon Construction Company to
force Attorney Garrard, who rep¬
resents the mysterious purchasers,
fo reveal their identity, blit lie de¬
clined. The confirmation of the
sale was also opposed by the Ma¬
con Construction Company on the
ground that the sum of $308, (XX)
the purchase price, was not half
the value of the road. The mon¬
ey lias not yet been paid-
From one of our most sensible
exchanges is clipped the following
extract :
The ppm who refuses to take
Jiis home paper is without public
spirit and is of little benefit to the
community in which he lives. The
.
greatest of all non.sence is to try
fo make a town grow without a
newspaper; it simply won’t do it.
poor, lean, half starved newspa¬
pers are indictive of the same kind

of local news and full of adver*
tisements of local tradesmen,
mean business for the newspapers,
for the people, and .prosperity for
tho town. Hold up your home
newspapers and they will hold
you up. Stick a pin first here and
give the paper a boom and you
will boom also.

1805 was made upon the
ishod acreage and had the effect
of greatly increasing the price and
bringing prosperity to the coun¬
try. The crop of !805, though es¬
timated to bo B, ]00, 000 bales
short of tho crop of 1801, was
in the markets of world worth
more by nearly $30, 000, 000. In
the face of this result, to abandon
the idea of diminished acreage
would he to sound the retreat in
tho face of victory. It is the con-
census of opinion among the best
thinkers that if by any means the
cotton crop of America could be
held within the limits of 7,000, (KX)
bales per annum for ten years the
people i of tho south would he
the richest and most prosperous
agricultural people in tho world.
IIow can this he brougt about?
Tho answer is with you.
Wo appeal to your self-interest
and pat.rotism to do all in your
power to keep down the production
of the staple. I)o not abandon
the ground you have won; fight

FERTILIZERS.
Somo rert !..ent ana riarticai Sa SS estio,. s
on Home Mixing.
The following article taken from the
Southern Planter and written by Dr.
Do chalmot, ’ is so replete with valuable
information . „ that , wo would ... be glad , , it .„
every farmer in the state could read
and profit by it:
iionio , “ The mixing .T Sibil ot l t V,“;8. ioitilizcis “7 Iiavo been °!
clearly demonstrated by the stations.
The published results of investigations
by stations engaged in the examination
of fertilizers leave no doubt regarding
the fact that “from such raw materials
as are in our markets, without the aid
milling of machinery, mixtuies can be
made on tae tarui, which are uniform
in quality, fine and dry, and equal in
all respects to the best ready made for-
tilizers.
“The advantages to be derived from
home mixing aro so obvious that it is
hardly necessary to do more than enu-
morale them:
“1. Reduction in Expenses. — This
bulletin of the Aew "SJSr Jeisey station.
Home mixed fertilizers, representing a
purchase of 540 tons, gave an average
cost per ton of $81.30 at the point of
consumption. the aveiage cost per
ton of eight special brands, selected as
the most highly concentrated of 212
brands examined, was $43.50, or a de¬
crenco of $12.14 per ton in favor of the
jc°me mixtures, which contained at
f ea8<: worth of plant food in excess
of that in tho manufactured brand.
“2 A Definite Knowledge op the
Nature of the Plant Food Supplied,
—Each ingredient- can be repeatedly ex-
0 ^^
best adapted to special needs
“3. The Preparation op Mixtures
Suited to Speciau Needs of Soil or
Cnop.-It is self evident that an iutelli-
pent farmer, by home mixing, is better
able than any one else ean bo to adapt
composition of his fertilizers to tiie
special requirements of his land as well
as of Ins crop.

Question 0.—When and how shall I
prune my young peach and apple trees ?
Answer 9.—The general opinion
successful fruit growers is, that the best
time fur pruning is at the close of the
severe winter weather, but before tho
sap begins to flow and the bods to swell. „
The latter part of January I should
think would be n suitable time in your
s cct l nu of the state. The object in
pruning, should be to remove all weak
branches, and such others as m their
growth would crowd and interfere with
the branches you wish to retain. Good
judgment and some experience, gained
either by observation or practice,
almost essential to successful pruning,
Pruning, done at tho wrong time, or in
ignomnee of what is aimed at, is apt to
result 1U SOflOUS injury to the tl’QO.
