THE ‘FARMER'S BEST FRIEND ! PACIFIC BUAHO COMPANY’S SOLUBLE PACIFIC SUAHO! %■ ' : ygtfß^jpli Ten Reasons wny Every Planter snould Use It. IST. They were the first to allow the Planter the option of IS 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, whan other minnfactHrers were asking 560 pounds and 67ft pounds. 4th. They held themselves perfectly aloof from all combination or pools, in fixine price for tbe aeanon on Fertilizers. sth. Thev have alwivs sold a Standard Fertilizer for the least monev possible. 6<h. Their Fertlizer has always given as general satisfaction as others, proving to be a profitable investment to the Planter. 7th. They have been manufacturing fertilizers and selling in Georgin since 1865, and have too much capital in their business, and too great o reputation, to make a spurious article. Bth They se'l more than any other manufacturer in the State of Georgia, and their Fertilizer has been more thoroughly tested by the State Agricultural Department, and shows better reanlts. 9'h. In 1865 they manufactured and sold only 754 tons; in 1878 they manufactured and Bold 35.284 tons, which speaks for the growing popularity of the Fertilizer. 10th. They have their Guano sold ou their own account, and do not sell to jobbers or speculators, but deal directly with the Planter, hence it ie to their interest to maintain the high character of their Fertilizer.

The farmers are of the opiniou that the recent cool weather is beneficial to their wheat crops. The com and wheat crops in this section of the county are better than they have been at this reason for several years past. Fishing parties are all the go now, and the average boy with his pole and line is elated with the idea of catching the branch minnow. The recent sermons by Revs. Mr. Taylor and Henderson at this place were pro nonneed by competent critics to be fine pal pit efforts. The Good Templars have reorganized their lodge, with a good membership. 'They have a fine field for their work, aDd can do effective service in this section.
