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.

He traveled one whole day and night recently, and then didn’t get more than half across. {The nearest cut is via Hampton.) Jack Stilwei.l says he can eat more cake at one sitting than any muu in the county, except the editor of this paper. After wit nessing his achievements last Friday night, the editor of this paper is not willing to be made an exception. j We regret to learn of the death of Mr. A. B. Fears, which occurred on the 11th inst., at his homo, near Red Oak. Campbell county, after a long and painful illness. He was the youngest brother of Elder W. 8 Fears, of this county.

Waveri.y Club —Owing to the inclement weather the meeting of the Club last Tues day evening was but slimly attended. The exercises were none the less enjoyable, though, on this account. The recitation by Mr, Jacobs was specially enjoyed, while the music of Misses Read and Smith met with thorough.appreciation. The following was the programme : Solo “Kathleen Mavourneeu” Miss Mamie Read. Reading— ‘ The Cl tonic Grumbler"— Miss Lizzie Adair. Music “Spanish Fandango” —J. E. Brown. Music—“ Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still”—MissZdlah Smith. Recitation—‘The Maniac’—David Jucobs. Song “Whispering Hope” Misses Smith and Read. Reading—“lreland”—J. E. Brown. The Club will meet next Tuesday evening at the residence of Mr. A. J. Henderson. 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. John Manley, Miss F.lla Putlin. J. F. StilwelL, Miss Lizzie Spencer Andrew Brown, Miss Popie Hammock. J. N Cloud. Miss Hennie Chapman. H. A. Read, Miss Fannie Turner. VV.

Viss Kflie Bloodworlh. R. S. Brown, M>«s Lula Wilson J. L Boynton, Miss Leila Brown. D. C Melson, Miss Leila Doyal. 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. Stockbridge. Feb 1 4lk. 1879.

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 Jk.. X.
