Lot Kk, Ga., March 20.— During the past week wo have made things hump, so of com so l'eel better. The most ol us have done planting corn and are besmearing ourselves in that get up and get stuff guano now, and I expect by ilie tune it is ail in we will bo glad to give thanks to our maker that we are through with it. For as it is, guano and women can’t get along; it kicks up a fuss ail the way through from the time it is bought till the time it is paid for. Of course, a 1< How can't handle it without it pet fumes, and of course he can’t change clothes everytime he is about iiis better half, so there’s where the trouble is in the first place; and where a fellow lias got one of these particular kind of wives that don’t like anything that smells bad nor good, he bad better not han die guano, if he does, and comes about her, lie will hear something and maybe feel something, if she finds there is any arbitration to he made about it. Well, in the next place, to get guano—it seems like it is easy. So it is. If a fellow could get rations and dry goods like he can guano, I would not be surprised if somebody didn’t get busted; but somehow or other the merchant and guano dealer don’t seem to do busi ness on the same plan.

Well, all I can say if the poor farmer did not buy goods and pay their price for them they would soon be doing else that would be mere to them and which would them to partake of nature’s sweet pose at modest hours, instead planning all day and night how get what so and so has got. But it is, and it can't be helped. As old saying is, every man for these days and God for all. (But would not be surprised if the fellow didn’t get the bulk of the Mr. B. G.
