Ten Reasons Wliy 33very Planter snouldLlUse It
-IST. They were the first to allow the Planter the option of 15 cents for Cotton. 2d. 'J hey were the first not to exact of the Planter freight in advance. 3.1 They were the first to establish their price at 500 pounds Cotton per lon. when other min ifuclu-crs wer ft
asking 560 pounds and 570 pounds. 4th. They held themselves perfectly aloof Irom all combination or pools, in fixing price for the season on Fertilisers. sth. They have nlw ivs sold a Standard Fertilizer for the least money possible. 61 b. Their Fertilizer
has always giviu as general satisfaction os others, proving to he a profitable investment to the Planter. 7tb. I hev have been manufacturing Fertilizers and selling in Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their bu-inese, and too great a reputation, to make a.
spurious article. Bth. They se'l more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tes fed by the State Agricultural Department, and shows better results. 9h. In 1865 they manufactured and sold only 754 tons,’
in 1878 thiy manufactured and sold 35 284 tous, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do not sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Plauter, hence it is to tbeir interest to
maintaiiuthe high character of their Fertilizer.

The Valentiuo Drawing.
Decidedly the most pleasant entertainment
that we have been privileged to attend re
cently was the Valentine party at the resi
dence of Mr. J. B Lowe oo last i’riday
eveuiog. A more brilliant array of beauty
and gallantry we have seldom seen, and cer
tain we are that for genuine pleasure and
thorough enjoyment no social event was ever
more fruitful. The guests began to arrive
at on early hour, and by 9 o’clock nearly
every room in the house was filled to over
flowing. where, amid the incessant chatter of
happy voices, the flashing glances of lumi
nous orbs and radiant smiles of lovely faces,
many a dashing amoroso fell captive to a
new-found love, and many a fair maideu met
the ideal of her girlish fancy.
Conspicuous in every part of the house
«as the poTtly presence of our clever young
host, wbost beaming smiles expressed more
plainly than words the cordial welcome that
we all knew was in his heart for bs. The
very soul of geniality at all times, he fairly
shone on this occasion, and we know of a
verity that if a single guest was in the least
degree uncomfortable during the eveeing, it
was through no fault of his.
About half-past ten o’clock the company
assembled in the (■arlor for the purpose of
participating in the drawing, which had
been arranged to take place at that hour.
A very pretty little stand bad been erected
in one corner of the large, spacions room,
und around this the excited crowd gathered
—all eager for a chance in the lottery that
was to decide their happiness for the eve
ning, The drawing was finally opened, with
Messrs. S. E. Brown and W H. H. Bar
ham as managers, and resulted as follows :
Pete Nolan, M ! ss Zillah Smith.
Tommie Brown. Miss Dora Brown.
J. 11. Sul-well, Miss Mattie Nolan.

Jack Brown, Jack Walker; (the last
named a mis match, evidently.)
At the conclusion ol the drawing each
bolder of a number sought oat his “prize,”
and spent the remainder of the evening in
playing the agreeable.
As if in answer to the many hungry
glances cast io the direction of the dining
hall, supper was announced about this time,
and there was a manifest disposition on the
part of the entire company to partake.
Sharing in the popular feeling, and urged on
by an appetite that had been troubling us
for about two bourß, we lost no time in
reaching the table, and our editorial heart
gave a great throb of delight as we con
templated the vast, illimitable area of cake
which spreud out before our enraptured gaze
on every side—not to speak of fruits, con
fectioneries, and other good things in pro
portion. The arrangement of the table was
superintended by Mrs. 8. R. Brown, ably
assisted by Misses Julia Stilwell, Mattie
Lowe, Mattie Pullin, Ellen Matthews and
Emma Walker—and was one of the hand
somest we ever saw.
A prominent feature of the entertainment
was a post office, through which medium
many a lender love-speech was uttered, and
numberless missives, of varying shades of
sentiment, were transmitted “Ye editor”
was complimented with a recipe for “love
sickness,” accompanied by a long list of
directions, and many injunctions expressive
of friendly solicitude. We assure our fair
friend that we are not io the least affected
with this troublesome malady, however, and
ftel sure that a careful diagnosis is all that
will be necessary to convince her of the truth
of what we say.
It was about 3 o’clock when the last guest
departed, bringing to a close one of the most
delightful entertainments ever enjoyed in
this vicinity, and which we would like to
have repeated every week for an indefinite
period.
Among those in attendance from a dis
tance, we noticed Misses Sallie Stephens
and Fffie Bloodworth of'Barnesville, Misses
Rosa Beck, Lula McDonald and Laura Moor
ef Griffin, Misses Iletmie Chapman and
Popie Hummock of Atlanta, Misses Ella
Dorsey and Leila Doyal of Jonesboro, and
Miss Inu Hussey of Greenville; Messrs.
A. O. Blalock and D. G. Melson of Jones
boro. and Messrs J. L Bovnton, D John-
F. Stilwell and YVilliam Moor of
Griffin.
Our Stockbridge Letter.
Mr Editor :— If you will allow me a
small space in your columns, I will endeavor
to give von a few dots from thia community
Our farmers are all astir, making arrange
ments for another crop, and it is tot»e hoped
they will meet with success, and have favor
able seasons ; and it is further hoped that
they will plant less cotton and more com,
thereby enbancirg the prosperity of the
farming interest. It has been said in times
past that cotton was king, but in this day
it is making the poor man poorer, aided by
gnano and the outrageous per cent, charged
for provisions. Farmer I live within your
means, and in a few years you eao live off
your means
I don’t think many farmers in this neigh
borhood will use guano the present season.
They are ofleting about 400 lbs. coitou per
ton, with option at 15 cents.
Our school opened last Monday morning,
with Prof. D. M. Franklin as principal. He
hag a fine school, with several boardiDg
students. By .Spring he will have as many
as he can manage, I think. Our new acad
emy will accommodate 125 students.
Our merchants are doing a fioe business,
the dull times considered. Agricoca.

Ten Good. Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD I
Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the proper
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowedjto remain there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machine
ej-y, and put together by the best Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d Our Patent Bevel Edged P ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a frozen rut, or on a rocky road.
4th. The Tbimble-Skeins are made of select iron, and weigh from 4 to 25 pounds
per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break.
sth. The Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes exset pattern of the
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be fitted, thereby making a true fit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6th. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is tiaed, hence they
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefally
examined by persons purchasing.
7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and tight fit, preventing the box from ever working loose, or allowing oil or water to soak
in between the box and tbe hub, as is the case in most makes of wagous where the boxing
is wedged in.
Btb. It took the highest award of merit and the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position. for exetdlence of material and superior workmanship in competition with the world.
9th. The Studebaker Brother* are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally the case iu large factories,
hence the superiority of their work over all others.
10th. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so ! Dealers who have sold them will tell you so !
Mercantile success has demonstrated that mare money has been made by handling
Good Goods at High Prices, than by handling Inferior Goods at Low Prices. For sale bj
