PACIFIC BUAIO COMPANY'S SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANOS
Ten Reasons Wliy Every Planter BliOnldL Use It.
1 q T, Thev were the first to allow the Planter 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 pounds Cotton per ton, when other mamficlurers wer#
asking sftft pounds and 570 pounds. 4th. They held themselves per ! ectly aloof from all combination or pools, in fixing price for the season on Fertilizes. sth. I'liev have alwiva sold a Stand ml Fertilizer lor the least m mev possible. fi 11. Their F rtliZer
has always given as genera! satisfaction as others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th. They have been minnfWlitring Fertilizers and selling in Georgia since 1865. and have too much capital in their lin-dness. and too great a reputation, to make a
spuriniH article. Bth. They se'l more titan any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tes ed by the State Agricultural Depart tmaU. and shows better results. 9h. In 1865 thev nnnnfaci ured and sol I only 754 ton«J
in 1878 they manufactured and sold 35 284 tous, which speaks (or the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold on their own account, and do not sell to jobbers or speculators, hut deal directly with the Planter, hence it is to their interest to
maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.

The McDonough Concert.
The largest, most enthusiastic and thor
oughly delighted audience that we have seen
! in a long while was assembled in the Conrt
j house at McDonough on Wednesday evening
ol last week, to witness the entertainment
whieh hod been so extensively advertised to
take place at that time. By eight o’clock
every scat in 1 lie home was filled, and good
standing-room was almost as scarce as seats.
Such a tremendous outpouring ol citizens,
from almost every part of the county, was
the highest compliment that could hive been
puid the clever amateurs, and as such was
duly appreciated
The performance opened nbout half-past
eight, wiih a song and chorus by the com
pany—“ Sweet Chiming Bells ’ —which was
well received.
The next was a vocal duet—“ Wondrous,
L vely Spring"—by Misses Crabb ami
Setzer. and their really sweet voices blended
most admirably.
“Danube Waltzes” (instrumental) was
next rendered—Mr. and Mr 9. J.Q Nolan
and Mr. T C. Nolan handling their respec
tive instruments with an ease aud grace that
was delightful to see.
The song, “Pass Under the Rod,” by Miss
Trellie Bryan, elicited rounds of applause,
and established lor her a reputation as a
vocalist of more 111 n ordinary talent. The
tableaux wi re well plai tied, aud were both
beautiful and appropriate.
The must decided hit of the evening,
though, was a song aud chorus—“ The
Plough Boys”—by about twenty little boys,
in which the mirtb-provoking faculties of
the ever blessed small boy were brought into
lull play, and with such good effect tbut the
audience just doubled itself up and yelled-
It was too funny for anything.
“The Serious Family.” a drama was next
presented. The following cast ol characters
was made:
Mr. Chas Torrens. ... Dr. f! D. McD >n Id
(’apt Morphy Maguire. ..Mr. J Q Nolan
Mr. Aminidah Sleek Mr. T 0 Nolan
Mr. Frank Vincent Mr. O K. Hamm
Lady Sourby Creamly.. 'lies Fannie Turner
Mrs Charles I'nrrens Miss Nenn Tye.
Mrs. Ormsby Delmaine.. Miss Tilla Crabb
Graham Mi-s Claude McDonald.
Miss Emma 'lorrens Miss Abi Crabb.
All the characters in this drama were ad
mirably sostaimd.
“'The Fairy Scene” was truly beautiful.
The tableaux were arranged in excellent
taste, und elicited many admirii g remarks
from the delighted spectators in the coro
nation scene Miss Claude McDonald, as
Queen, was of course the centre ofattmetion
—themaichle-s grace and elegance of her
figure showing to splendid advantage amij
her lovelv surroundings. The “Fairies" were
M isses Minnie Walker, Annie and Sallie
Dailey, Ola and Josie Tye, Viola. Eliza and
Mattie Maxwell, Cora Harper, Lillio and
Agnes Heflin, Nannie, Ella and Medo Car
michael. HenrieMa Westbrook, Lindsay
Crumley, Diidie Daniel and Lois Bryan.
Toe guitar duet by Mr. A, C. and Miss
Ladie Nolan was much enjoyed.
The quartette, “Moonlight on the Lake,”
was never rendered in better style than by
Mrs. J Q. Nolan, M iss Fannie Turner and
Messrs. J Q Nolan and E. L. McDonald.
“Nancy Lee,” song and chorus by the
company, was loudly applauded.
The recitation of “Maud Muller” by Miss
Willie Sloan was considered by some to be
the most enjoyable feature of the entertain
ment.
The charade, “How They Kept a Secret,”
was heartily enjoyed by all, the various char
acters being represented by the following
named persons :
Mrs. Burkes Miss Mattie Nolan.
Julia Miss Ella Stewart
Dick Master Percy Bryan.
• iss A’alden M iss Fannie Turner
Mrs. Blaiedell Miss Katie Maxwell
Mrs. Brown Miss Ida Brown.
Mrs. Hobbs Miss Ladie Nolan.
Mrs Smith Miss Emma Knott
Miss Lizzie Sloan as Countess, and Mr
E. 0. Hamm as Count, in the “Gipsy
Scene,” sustained their parts well. The Gip
sies were represented by Misses Dora Brown,
Ella Stewart. Lizzie Cagle and Tilla Crabb.
Miss Tilla Crabb also sang the "Gipsy’s
Warning,” most beautilully.
The song, ‘Old Folks at Home.” by
Misses Mattie and Ladie Nolan. Carrie and
Julia Stilwell, Emma Knott, Lizzie Cagle,
Tilla Crabb and Missie Setzer, literally
brought down the house. Costumed after
the style ol a century ago, they presented an
appearance of such rare antiquity that it
weraki have sorely ptzzltd our grandmothers
to know to what age they really belonged.
“Mountain Maid,’’a vocal solo, by Mrs.
J. Q. Nolan, was pronounced by competent
critics to be one ol the fineat vocal efforts
they ever heard. Her voice—naturally sweet
and thoroughly cultivated—was exercised to
its fullest compass, and delighted the
audience with such bursts of melody that
they were fairly entranced.
We never knew how short the step from
the sublime to the ridiculous was until Tom
mie Sutton lilted up his voice and sounded
the first notes of “Heathen Chinee.” At
the beginning we were disgusted, but soon
became amused, and finally found that we
could with extreme d fliculty testrain our
laughter long enough to hear the concluding
words. He sings a comic song well.
The entertainment concluded with the
laughable farce, “Aunt Betsy’s Beaux,” in
which the following named persons wete
assigned parts:
Aunt Bet-y Mis-Tilla Crabb
Squire Hooper Mr. D C Daily.
(’apt. Duutly Mr. Thou. Sutton.
Maggie Miss Lizzie Cagle.
Annie Miss Dora Brown.
Ellen Miss Trellie Bryan.
'Thus closed one ol the best, most delight
ful amateur entertainments we ever wit
nessed, and feel that we are doing the young
ladies and gentlemen of McDonough scant
justice to offer them such meagre praise The
acting was good throughout, the mu-ic un
excelled, the tableaux beautiful—in fact,
it was just such an entertainment as the
McDonough people uloue can give, and we
would be more than huppy to have it repea -
ed every week (or an indefinite period. We

Ten Good Reasons
WHY THE
STUDEBAKER WAGON
«- •'fj-i
IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD I
Ist. It is made of the best selected Indiana timber, the same being cut at the prooer
season of the year, piled under sheds, properly dated, and ullowedjto remain there from 3 to
5 years.
2d. The wood work, thoroughly seasoned, is shaped bv the latest Improved machin
ery, and put together by the be«t Wagon Mechanics in the world.
3d. Our l’alrnt Bevel Edged V ejecting Tire sives the paint mi the felloe, and con
sequently saves the felloe from wearing, when running in a frozm rut. or on a road.
4th. The Thimble-Skeins are made of select iron and weigh Iroin 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, un i a perfect
running wagon.
6th. It is the only wagon in which the Slope-Shoulder Spoke is used, hence they
have the best wheel, which is actually the foundation of the wagon, and should be carefally
examined bv persons purchasing
7th. The hubs are all bored true, then the Skein boxes are turned to fit ou 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 loose, or allowing oil or water to sosk
in between the box and the hub, as is the case in most makes of wagons where the boxing
i.s wedged in.
Btli. it took the highest award of m'rit und tho Grand Medal at the Centennial Ex
position for excrlienee o( material and superior workmanship in competition wiihth* world
9ih The Studebaker Brothers are practical workmen, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not intrust it to the fireman, as is generally the case in large laotorie*
hence tho superiority of tle-ir work ov-t all othurs.
lftth. It is the Best wagon when New. and Good when Old. Farmers and Team
sters will tell you so! Dealers who hive sold them will tell you so !
Mercantile success lias demonstrated that more money lus been made bv handling
Gaod Goods at High Prices, than by handling Inferior Goods at Low Prices, For tele by
