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."

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. With no di«ro8pcct to onr City Fathers I havo written this, and appeal to them ns the gunrdiaus of our safety and tho inor Is of or.rohildron to stop this mil. Watchman. Au Kx|»lnnatton. 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.
