Ten Reasons wny Every Planter SliOuld Use It.
IST. They were the first to allow the Blunter the option of 15 cents for Cotton. 2d. They were the first not to exact of the Planter freight in advance. 3d They were the first to establish their price at 467 ponods Cotton per ton, whan o»h»r manifaetnrerg were
asking 560 ponndg and 570 pounds. 4th. They held themselves perfectly aloof from nH combination or pools, in fixing price for the season on Fertilizers. slh. They have always sold a Standard Fertiliser lor the least mwiev possible, 6>h. Their Fertlizcr
has always giv< uas general satisfaction ns others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th. They have been manufacturing Fertilisers and selling in Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their business, and too great n reputation, to make a
spurious article. Btb. They sell more than anv other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tes ed hv the State Agricultural Department, and shows better remits. 9h. in 1865 tliev manufactured anl sold only 754 ton*;
iD 1878 they manufactured and sold 35 284 tous, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th, They have their Guano sold 0:1 account, and do not sell to jobber* or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it is to their interest to
maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.

We call attention to the advertisement of
the Exchange Saloon, which appears in this
issue. Mr. N. F. Cox, the proprietor, baa
effected the lease of the new Burnett build

. One of onr young men, while in the first

etc. Three or four weeks having elapsed

and asked her to “please return his letter, as
he wished to send it to another girl.” They
meet now as strangers.
One of our correspondents wants to know
why the post office at this place can’t have a
money order department like offices in other
towns. Such a convenience would be a
considerable saving to our people in the way
of express charges, and we should only be
too happy to note such an improvement in
the facilities of onr postal department. We
respectfully refer the matter to Uncle Tom
Barnett, our efficient postmaster.
On Wednesday night of last week, some
enterpriting thief entered Mr. Buck IPck
bod’s store at Locust Grove and stole about
fifty dollars worth of goods. Entrance was
effected through the hearth—that is, by
crawling under the house BDd removing the
stones which served as a foundation, and
entering through the gap thus made. We
are hoping and praying that some rascal will
get his quietus yet, in the shape of about
forty buck- shot—large size—and we've
made up our mind not to be happy until this
grand result is achieved.
Thk Griffin Sun speaks thus flatteringly
of our sister town. Sunny Side : “This de
lightful little village, although frequently
scourged by fire since its foundation, ba»
risen each time from its ashes. Only a few
weeks since the large (team gin. and the
house used for storing cotton were burned,
and now Mr. George Sefacler, of Hampton,
proposes to build during the eummer a com
modious brick warehouse, and make the
cotton business a specialty at that point.
The village already boasle of three stores
and a guano depot, and enjoys the advanta
ges of a past-office and express agency
Some gentlcnier. of menus speak of investing
in mercantile and other pursuits shortly, and
with its good schools and splendid society,
excellent water and climate, Sunny Side
will some day become a very considerable
little place, socially and commercially.”
The WavrrlY. — Agreeable to appoint
ment the Club met at the residence of Mr.
W. P Moate last Tuesday evening, and the
meeting passed off quite pleasantly. The
exercises were unusually enjoyable, and of
such a varied character -that we will no' -
attempt to particularize. Special praise is
due Miss Zillah Smith for her excellent ren
dition of that beautiful poem, “Curfew Shall
not Ring To-night." The Club has not a
more accomplished member, and it is hoped
she will recite often.
An equally entertaining feature was the
recitation by Miss Mollie Moate, in her
usual good style, 01 that truly pathetic poem
by Father Ryan—“ Have Hope.”
The singing of Miss Smith and Mr. Read j
in the vocal duet “Golden Stairs,” whs
specially enjoyed—her sweet soprano and
his rich tenor blending most happily.
The next meeting will be held at the resi
dence of Mr. W.T. Read, when an enter
taining ptogramme may be expected.

The Dreaded Consumption
Creeps in upon u° unawares, the sad con
sequence of having once too often neglected
a trifling cold. Defy this unwelcome visitor
by using Parker’s Ginger Tonic on the first
appearance of a C tugh, Cold or Sore Throat,
and you will escape the danger. There is
no cure equal to it, and its powerful action
on the mucous surfaces of the throat and
lungs, removes all soreness and inflammation
therefrom, and protects the feeble from Con
sumption. Equally valuable as a corrective,
the thousands of ladies who sailer untold
miseries from fnnetiotial derangements, will
gratefully appreciate its comforts, as it gives
entire relief from Painful Periods and estab
lishes the healthful regularity of the disturbed
functions. Buy from your druggists, Peebles
& Read, a 81 bottle or a sample bottle at
15 cts. and test its merits.
Worth Twice the Sum.— We are just in
receipt o' The Chicago Ledger, the leading
family paper ol the West, which is now en
tering upon its seventh volume. The Ledger
is a large folly eight column weekly paper,
printed upon bold plain type which can be
read with ease, by either the old or young,
and is filled with choice stories and matter
of particular interest to every household.
This excellent journal is supplied to sub
scribers, postage paid for the extremely low
price of one dollar and fifty cents per year.
In order to more rapidly increase its present
large list of readers, the publishers of this
paper have just made a new contract for the
manufacture of several thousand fine Nickel-
Plated English Steel Barrel and Cylinder
Seven Shot Revolvers—22 caliber—which
they propose to distribute among their sub
scribers at cost, and therefore, offer one of
these elegant weapons of defence and The
Ledger one year for three dollars. The re
volver will be sent by mail, postage paid, on
receipt of the price. They have already
distributed 5.000 revolvers, and are mailing
hundreds daily. Now isyonr time to gel a
first-class revolver and the best paper in the
country for less than half tlie actual worth
of either. Three sample copies of Ihe Led
ger will be sent to any address for ten ceuts.
Address The Ledger, Chicago, 111.
Pre-eminent
As an elegant hair dressing stands Parker’s
Hair Balsam, deservedly popular for the
beautiful hair it produces, and its healthful,
cleansing md healing properties. Commenc
ing at the roots, it promotes a luxuriant
growth of young hair, and unfailingly re
stores gray or faded hair to its original
youthful color, giving a soft, rich and lus
trous appearance of great beauty. It is
pleasantly cooling to I lie scalp, cleanses it
from Dandruff, cures itching and humors, and
stops falling of the hair. It is perfectly
harmless, exquisitely-perfumed, never poils
the skin or gums the hair, and pleases every
body by its many excellent and attractive
qualities. Buy a bottle from your druggists,
Peebles & Read, and test its merits.
Unimpeachable Testimony
Establishes the fact, that for every form of
pain or distress in the Stomach Bowels or
Breuthing Organs, Parker’s Ginger Tonic is
the speediest and most effective cure known.
If yon are a sufferer from Dyspepsia. Head
ache, Nervousness, Low Spirits. Wakeful
ness, Bad tas'e in the month. Heartburn,
Acidity, Soreness of the Throat or Lungs,
Palpitation of the Heart, Costiveness or
Liver disorders, you will find a most, com
forting and complete care in this sterling in
vignrant. To the aged, the feeble and con
valescent, it affords just the help needed. It
builds up and sustains the strength, diffuses
warmth and energy through the system, and
is incomparably superior to wines or liquors
while it does not intoxicate. Boy from your
druggists, Peebles A Read, a 81 bottle, or a
sample bottle sit IS cunts and test its merits.

Ton 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 nroner
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly (luted, and ullowed|to remain there from 3 ta
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machin
ery, 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 froz"n rut, or on a rocky road.
4th. The Thimble-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, Ti e'Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which takes exact 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 whieh Iho Slope-Shoulder Spoke is nsed. hence they
have the best wheel, which is actually ihe foundation of the wagon, and should be carefully
examined by persons purchasing
7th. The hubs are all bored trne, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hvdraulic 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 the bub, as is the case in most makes of wagons where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest award of merit und the Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position for excrHence of material and superior workmanship in competition with the world
9th. The Studebuker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to the foreman, as is" generally the case in large factorieu,
hence the superiority of their work over all others.
10th. It is the Beat wagon when New, and Good when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so! Dealers who have sold them will tell yon »o !
Mercantile success has demonstrated that more money has been made by handling
Good Goode at High Prices, than by handling Inferior Goods at Low t P rices, For .ale by
