They wenp the first to allow the Planter the option of 15 rents for Cotton. 2d. They were the 6rst not to exact of the Planter freight in advance. 3J They were the first to establish their price at 467 pounds Cotton per ton, when other manufacturers wer« asking 560 pounds and 670 p< finds. 4th.

Tliev have tilwtw sold n Standard Fertilizer for the least monev possible. 6’h. Their Fertliz r has always givtn as genera! satisfaction ns others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 71h. They have been manufacturing Fertilisers and selling In Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their business, and ion great a reputation, to make a Spurious article. Bth They sell more titan any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertiliser has been more thoroughly tes-ed bv liv State Agriciiltnr.il I) 'pirtm-nt, and shows better remits. 9'h. In 1865 they manufactured an I sold only 754 ton ; in 1878 they manufactured and sold 36 284 tons, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertiliser. 10th. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do not sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it is to thesr interest to tnuintuin the high character of their Fertilizer.

Alexander, of the Griffin News, went rabbit bunting the other day and killed twenty-eight, aggregating id weight 110 pounds. It was not a very good day for rabbits either. Spring chickens are unusually backward this year. The only caose assigned for this is that “big meetlns” are unusually early, and the chickens are bolding back so as to miss the season.
