are extending a helping hand to all of

Fertilizer Dealers In Council.
AmkiiicL'S, Ga., Dee. 13,1881.
At n meeting of dealers in fertilizers,
doing business in this city, the fullowing
resolutions were made and adopted;—
That we, the undersigned, agents and
dealers in fertilizers, are of the opinion
that the prices of fertilizers are entirely
too high to be profitable to the planters.
That the way to correct this great evil is
to provide a method by whioh all that is
sold may be paid for, thereby making it
nnnec ssary for manufacturers to make
allowance for non-payments, and ns n
matter of cuurse cheapening the gross.
llesolctd, That wo will each make, or
cause to be made, a eorreet copy without
favor or affection—of all tho mimes that
may be in arrears on oni respective books
after.Jannary 10th, 1882, and hand [the
sumo to the secretary, who shall consoli
date the same, whioh said consolidation
shall be known os a “black list."
Jtcsolced, That the Secretary elml have
a sufficency of said black list printed to
furnish each firm with three copies.
Resulted, That we positively refuse to
sell lerti'izers to any man whose name
appears on said black list; provided
that tho agent or dealer causing a name
or names to be placed on the black list,
may soli the said party or parties, upon
being secured tor past indebtedness.
Ilcsolccd, That this is no combination
against the planters' interest, but rather
n protection to the good people who,
under the present system, are annually
paying out large sums of money in the
shape of profits to make good the unpaid
purchases of irresponsible parties.
llesolctd, That we invite agents in the
neighboring cities and towns to co-oper
ate with ue and exchange lists.
Resulted, That wo ore aware of the foot
that there are a number of good parties
who have not yet paid, and that we ear
nestly request them to make satisfactory
arrangements at onoe and relieve us of
he unpleasant necessity of plncing their
names on the list.
Resolcei, That a copy of tho above res
olutions be handed each of the oity pa
pers. with a request that tho same be
published.

PERSONAL PARAORAIIPUS.
Genial Tom Graham ww aroun«l on
Wednesday, collecting up the dues for
the Americas Legion of Honor.
Mr. Harrifion, editor of the Lumpkin
Independent, was in the city ednes-
day and made ns a very pleasant call.
He has been hiking In tho Exposition.
Mr. Charles Kipp, of St. Johns, Michi
gan, is stopping at the Barlow House,
and intends spending the winter in
Americus. He spent last winter in
Southern Georgia, and was so well pleas
ed with tho country and climato thut ho
has returned.
Au Eoonomlnal Lady.
As Mr. T— was standing in front of his
door jingling a lmndfnl of holey coins,
he was Accosted by an old lady from the
rural districts with tiio question: “What
will yor take ferthat holey money*?” ‘'i’ll
take eighty cents on the dollar; do you
want to bnyi ?'\ “Well, yes; I'll tako
two or three dollarworth. Ver see I'm
on the econeruiizin'line, and my old uian
likes a good drink, and Heury Bumw,
'round here ..t Haro’s B.u low House sa
loon, is hiking holey monoy at face value.
I thought I moufc save a little by buying
it up.” Mr. T— counted out two dollars,
which he told her she could havo for a
dollar and fifty cents, u8 obe of the dimes
was a third gone. Thanking him she
moved on, much elated with her trade
A Chance to Make Money.
If ever our country friends had a
clmnce to make big money, now is the
time with those of them who have poultry
and eggs for sale. Medium sized turkeys
readily sell at from $1.60 to $2.00 each
and chickens from 30 to 50 ounts each,
while eggs readily bring from 46 to 60
cents per dozen and the price is still ad
vancing. The supply is wholly inade
quate to tne demand and those who get
here first with poultry or its fruit, will
make more clear money than if they had
brought in cotton. They will have no
trouble in effecting ready sales at private
residences or our grocery houses. So let
them gather up their domiuicks, bluo
bens, speckled backs «nnd muffled jaws
and bring them in with their nest depos
its, and we guarantee big prices and
prompt sales.
Nobody's Business.
Communicated.
Is tho revenno raised from the legiti
mate taxes of oity property and its busi.
ness not sufficient to pay all her necessa
ry expenses? If not, would it not bo
wiser to increase her taxes than to sup
plement by 'licensing gambling in its
vilest and most dangerous form—to*wit:
a wheel of fortune, now runniug under
regular license. A rovonue obtained
from the vices of our people, is in the
very nature of things a ourso itself. Who
can fix the price of public or personal
morals? By this infamoui thing, tho ig
norant nUil unwary uro caught nnd rob
bed, and the young are ensnared, de
based and set out on tho high road to
ruin.

The following item from an exchange
will n; ply equally woll to evory town
ami overy local uewspnper: "Maoy times
people feel offended liecauso tbeir com
ing and going avo not mentioned, while
those of others are. ami wonder whet
the matter can be. The explanation is,
that editors moan to be iiupatial, lint
some escape attention. The likes and
dislikes or tho editor have nothing what
ever to do with il, anil while it is not
prolumloJ that the editor is more nr less
than human, bo knows that the success
of bis Journal depends on fairuiss aud
impartiality lo all. It is tho best way
always when n notice is desired lo men
tion it to tbo editor, or bis afcmftunt, nr
comiuiinieute it through tbo past office.
No one feels worse at,.mt any seeming
neglect or partial performance of duty
limn tbo editor himself."
