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.

It wag certainly an eo joyable occasion, and we regret that the lateness of tbe hour will not allow a fuller notice. We may continue the subject in cor next is s ue. 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 never tiie of u really good thiug. Quite o hamlßotne sum of money was real iZ'-d, we understand, und the rffanagiog com mittee return sincere thanks to the public lor the very liberal manner in which they have aided and patronized the enterprise from the beginning “The* Paris Exposition Has been a source of wonder to many, and of profit to some,” among the la I ter being the manufacturers o( Boss’ Patent Stiffened Gold Watch (’uses, who received a modal These ('uses are made of two plates of solid gold overlaying h plate of composition metal in such u manner as to present only a gold surtice.

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.
