THE FARMER'S BEST FRIEND! . '"'■aSHß m Hbtt, 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.

Thr recent spurt in the cotton market has caused considerable excitement among our farmers—those, at least, who have some of the staple yet on hand. Quite a crowd will attend the dedication services at Mt. Carmel next Sunday. A large crowd, a fine sermon and a basket dinner will be the attractions. Ip a certain Fayetteville gallant, of wham we catch occasional glimpses as he flits past on bis wav to G , doesn’t favor us with a call soma lima we’ll expose him.

This will be the first of a series of meetings that it is pro posed to bold during the present month, and we have no doubt much good will result therefrom. XkXT Sunday will be a big day at Mt. Curtnel. The new church was completed 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 g.ll U j.lwmwm-M.jmm McDonough Locals.

Hampton Ga., January 3i;6m 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.
