PACIFIC SUAHO COMPANY'S SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO!
Ten Reasons Wliy Every Planter SliOuld. Use It.
IST. Tfcey were (Ae first to allow the Planter the option of 15 cents for Cotton. 2d. ’I hey were the first not to exact of the I’lanter fremitt in advance. 3d They were the flut to establish their price at 467 pounds Cotton per ton. when other mm ifacturern were
asking 560 pounds and 670 pounds. 4tb. Thev held themselves perfectly aloof from nil combination or pools, in fixinir price for ‘be season on Fertilisers. sth. I'liev have alwivs sold a Standard Fertilizer for the least money possible. 6*h. Their Fertlizer
has always given as general satisfaction as others, proving to lie a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th. They have been manuf tetaring Fertilisers and selling in Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their badness, and too great a reputation, to make a
spurious article. Bth They sell more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer bus been more thoroughly tes'ed by the State Agricultural Deptrtment. ltid shows better results. 9'h. In 1865 they maim favored and sold only 754 tons;
io 1878 they manufactured and wild 35 284 toua, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold ou their own account, aud do not sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Plauter, hence it ia to their interest to
maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.

ibis week, and Rev.J. E. Evans has been
invited to dedicate it, which he will do at
the time mentioned. This church is situated
in one of the best sections of the county, and
its membership numbers some of our best
aud most substantial citizens, who deserve
great credit for the promptness and energy
displayed in pushing Ibis enterprise to a
successful termination.
It has at last been decided to have the
Sunday-school pic-mc in (he beautiful grove
near Lebanon Church, and ws are sure a
prettier location could not have been select
ed. Convenient to town, and near a splendid
spring of wafer, it is in every way suited to
the purposes of an out-door entertainment,
and a much larger attendance than usual
may be expected. On Sunday next orators
will be selected frnm the two Sabbath
schools to deliver addresses, und a complete
programme arranged, which we hope to be
able to give in full next week.
Amoko our exchanges we find the follow
ing ode to Spring. As the perpetrator has
probably ere this passed io his cheeks, we
pass it around :
In the Spring the cheerful bumble bee
His bumbling hymn doth ping ;
In the Spring with radiant joyfulness
Thp skeeter spread- 1 his wing;
In the Spring a young man’s fancy
Lightly torns to snowy pants ;
fn the Spring unto the pic-nic
Ciawl the busy lifle ants ;
id the Spring the sad, sweet poet strikes
His tuneful, amorous lyre,
E’en while the editor promptly shoves
The darned thing-in the fire ;
In the Spring upon the backyard fence
Is heard the loin cat’s wail;
lu the Spring the saucy tom-tit flirts
HU naughty little tail

Ton Good Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
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 allowcd|to remain there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest improved machine
ery, and put together bv the boot Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d Our Patent Bevel Edged Projecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe,-and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running iu a frozen rut, or on a rocky road.
4»h. Tbe Thimble Skeins are made ol select iron and weigh from 4 to 25 pout.Ja
per set more than any others made, and therefore do not break.
sth. T 1 e Skeins are set by a patent skein setter, which take? 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.
6ih. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, hence they
have the best wheel, which is actually the fouridutiou of the wugon, and should be csrefxlly
examined by persons purchasing
7th The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iran
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic pressure, thereby insuring a perfect
and tight fit, preventing the box from ever working loo«>, or allowing oil or water to aoak
in between the box and the bub, as is tbe case in moat makes of wagons where tbe boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It took the highest uward of merit und tha Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position for excellence of material and superior Jorkmaimliip in competition wi'h th* world.
9th. The Studebaker Brothers arc practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to the foreman, as is generally the case in large factories,
heuce the superiority of tbeir work over all others.
10th. It is the Best wagon when New, and Good when Old. Farmer* and Team
sters wiil tell you so 1 Dealers who have sold them will tell you to I -
Mercantile success has deinonstraled that more money lias been made by handling
Good Goods at High Prices, than by handling Inferior Goods at Low t P rices. For tale by
