THE FARMER'S BEST FRIEND! • < ■« • PACIFIC SHAKO COMPANY’S SOLUBLE PACIFIC flUAIO! |9 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.

Last Fiiday lv printed ofl the entire edition of The «Vbkkly, number ing 552 copies, in the short space of four hours and fifteen minutes. Isn’t it übout time we were discussing 00 r annual May celebration? In other places we notice that committees have been ap pointed, programmes arranged, and varioos other preliminaries settled. We suggest that the Superintendents of the different Sab bath-schools bring the matter up next Sun day. 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 ing on James street, and has fixed it up quite handsomely, having added a new bil liard and pool table, and made many other improvements of an attractive character. There is nothing so well calculated to make a man forget the pious teachings of his early youth as to have hi 9 collar come unfa-tened behind and climb over his ear while sitting np beside bis girl in church. It is one of the ordeals which eveo a good man cannot pass through without damage to his religion. It is with sincere regret that we announce ibe death of Mr. James H. Elder, eldest son of Mr. J. B. Elder, of Spalding coun’y, which occurred about two weeks since in Texas, where he bad been residing for Ihree years or more. His remains were brought home for interment. We extend to the family onr siucere condoleuce. . One of onr young men, while in the first flush of love’s young dream, addresaed a long letter to the object of his tender passion, describing bis feelings toward her. etc. Three or four weeks having elapsed without bringing a reply, he wrote again 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.

Hampton Ga., January 31 ;6m 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 j±. m J.
