Ten Reasons Wtiy Every Planter snould. Use It.
IST. They were »lie first to allow the Planter the option of IS rents 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 pounds Cotton per ton, when other msnafsctnrers war*
ashing 560 ponnds and 570 pounds. 4th. Thly held themselves perfectly aloof from sll combination or pools, in fixing price for 'be snaoon on Fertilizers. sth. They have alwiys sold a Standard Fertilizer for the least money possible. 6'h. Their Fertlizer
has always given as general satisfaction as others, proving to bo a profitable investment to the Planter. 7tb. They have been masafaeturing Fertilizers and selling In Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their business, and too great a reputation, to mass a
■purioH* article. Bth. They se'l more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertiliser has been more thoroughly tes>od by the State Agricultural Department, and shows better results. 9’h. In 1865 they manufactured and sold only 754 ton«;
in 1878 they manufactured and sold 35 284 tous, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do Dot sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it is to their interest to
maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.

The sermon of Rev. J. E. Evans at Mt.

A most distressing as well as fatal acci

The May unniber of Godey’s Lady’s Book
presents the opening chapters of what prom
ises to be a most charming story, by the

American writers of fiction, and we are sure
the readeis of Godey have a rare treat in
store. “A Gentle Belle,” by Christian Reid,
is continued with increasing interest; and
the miscellaneous matter iu the literary de
partment is fully abreast of the beet maga
z;ne literature of the day. In addition, this

Young May Queen a richly colored mam

There is every indication that the Sun

impatiently awaiting the feast of good tbiugs
which will be spread on that day. Aside
from this, though, (which is a big consider
ation in itself.) it will be a social event of a
most pleasant character, and we are quite
sure will be enjoyed by all who may attend.
It is to be a basket pic-nic, and all other
schools in tbe vicinity are cordially invi'ed
to co-operate with us and help to make it a
grand affair. On Sunday last the following
young gentlemen were selected to deliver the
addresses, and we know they will acquit
themselves with credit : Masters Claude
Griffin, Jimmie Harper and W illie Hender
son, from the M. E. Sunday-school, and
Wdlie Poole and Henry Peebles, from the
M. P. Sunday-school. A committee will
be oo tbe grounds at an early hour to receive
basketa and snch other parcels as may be
entrusted to their care.

Ten Grooa Reasons
' WHY THE
STUDEB A KER W A GON
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD!
Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the game being cut at the proper
season of the yeur, piled under sheds, properly dated, and allowedjto remain there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped by the latest improved machine
cry, nnd put together by the best Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d. Our Patent Bevel Kdged Pi ejecting Tire saves the paint on the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a frozen 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 breuk.
sth. Tl e Hkeins are set by a patent skein setter, which take? exact pattern of tbs
inside of the skein to which the axle is to be Ihted, thereby making a true tit, and a perfect
running wagon.
6(h. It is thp oidy wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, henca they
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefally
examined 'oy persons purchasing
7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit on an iron
lathe, and are then pressed into the hub by hydraulic 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 ur,d the bub, as is the case in most makes of wagons where the boxing
is wedged in.
Bth. It. took award of merit nnd the Grand Medal at the Oentpnoial Ex
position for excellence of material and superior workmanship in competition wiih tha world,
Dtb. The Studebaker 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 factories,
hence the superiority of thrdr work over all others.
10th. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good wh‘*n Od. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so I Dealers who have sold them will tell yon so I
Mercantile success has demonstrated that more money has been made by handling'
Good Good* at High Price.*, than by handling Inferior Goodi at Low t Pncts. ,For sale by-
