Queer. —Says a correspondent of the

seph E. Johnston:
“It is rather a queer thing to contemplate
General Joe Johusioo occupying tbe positiou
of chairman of the eab-commit toe
on military affairs, charged with the
reorganization of Ihe United £ut«e army.
He will devote the most of his attention lo
. the work this sessioq.” }
I* would ißdeed be queer w«e a Radical
but Randall uoMrstaods tbe
Chnstisias is Cumins!
flow swiftly the tide of time swreps by.
It seems but a little while since Tub Weekly
bore its cordial greeting to its readers for
Christmas, and yet it is almost here again.
But so it is. Tide and time never cease—
they wait for no man. It is well. They
belong 1o a higher law which man did not
make ; they are governed by a power we
cannot comprehend.
But a tiuoe to sentiment ; we should be
cheerful. Merrv times are just before us—
almost here. The jolly jingle of the merry
Christinas bells are even now beginning to
lie heard, and the little one are making huge
calculations as to what good old Santa Clans
will bring them. The dear old fellow is
mixed up in all their ta'k—at I he fireside, on
the stieet, everywhere ; and were lie to bring
one tithe of the good things wished for, it
would inevitably bankrupt hint But he
will bring something—a toy for this one, a
knife for that one, a present of some sort lor
another— and each and all, wo trust, will be
cheerfully remembered, so that this day
—a day for which so many wish may be
one of universal and unalloyed pleasure.
There is no need of giving a detailed his
tory of Christ uas, or telling the origin of
.Santa Claus. The story has been told and
retold a thousand times, and to the enrap
tured listeners the name of Saida C'laus
implies all that is grand and gtoriouH and
good.
But th is festival is scarcely celebrated now
as in the olden time. Then it was consid
ered only just and proper to pass the day in
such manner as would bring prominently to
the ruind the grand event which over
eighter n hundred years before had caused
the Shipherds of Cualdea to listen in won
der and amazement ut the sublime ingtguigc
—‘ Glory be to God in the highest ; peace
on earth, goodwill toman.” But by de
grees this custom passed away, and Young
Ainciica came to the front with a “new
departure so that for many years it has
indeed been a feast of fut things—a high old
time—-among the young people of this land.
Nor is the fun nil confined to the children
not by a good deal. The old people soon
catch the fever, find ere the sun sinks behind
the hills of the West on Christmas F.ve, old
nnd young nre so Inextrieubly conjumilled
and mixed up that it is next to impossible
to tell “ ’tother from which.”
It is well. “Christmas comes lint once a
year.” But it comes ; nnd every little boy
and every little girl knows precisely the
time. No deceiving them—not they. And
then when morning dawns, whether it be
eloudy or fair, ruin or shine, the eolhu-iasm
of the occasion bieuks out in all its untamed
exhuberunce, and, regardless of motherly
caution, the little ones begin the day.
Well, let them have it. Happy time!
let them eijoy it. Christmas Day! let
crackers pop, pistols fire and sky-rockets go
up— they are free!
We are all children on this day. The old
foiget their age, rheumatism, gout, corns,
and other ailments, and of course those who
know but little or carping cure aud the many
responsibilities resting upon men and women
generally, are allowed to go “scot fret” for
the nonce. It is a grand time for old aud
young generally.
And now, as before another issue of Thk
Wkski.y 'his unusually happy time will have
como and gone, we beg to tender to one and
all our friends a right merry Christmas, with
the added wish that every ooe may live to
epjoy many more such days, aud each with
increased pleasure.
Booms.
This is an age of curirns nomenclatures.
It is un age when inventive genius comes to
the front ; and iu nothing does this spirit ol
invention show itself more plainly than in
the coining of words. 1 Boo.n” is now the
rage—everything is “boom." There is tße
Grant boom ; the Tildon boom ; the Davis,
Bayard and Bluine booms; und a§ if to
render this booming business superlatively
ridiculous, some passionate lover of tun has
started the Felton boom.
Well, it is entertaining. Anything new
becomes for a little while, at lia J t, Interest
ing, and we suppose the these
words amuse themselves at the idea of sound
ing out something nobody had thought of
before. Then, too, they credit themselves
with a new departure from the old und well
beaten paths of those oid fogies who never
dreamed of turning to the right or to the
left in search of new words, new ideas or
new philosophies. They f>el satisfied this
new word will serve its purpose. They are
happy at the thought that the word “boom”
♦ ill lift their favorite candidate high in
popular esteem, and set him down softiy-hi
the big arm chuir at the White
we opine that their happiness will be prema
ture. The boom may be poteul iu one sec
tion, and yet have no force in another. It
may come ns the winds come when armies
are banded, or as the waves come when
Davies %re stranded, in one or two States,
and yet' not have force enough to make a
ripple upon a herring poud it) the remainder
of tbe State*.
We Wlieve we first noticed the word
“booor'wo connection with Gen. Grant. It
wws.bronght into use for tbe purpose of
rashiug him iuto popular favor It worked
when it became public property, and every
body began to use it on all occasions, it lost
its charm, and became as useless as the fifth
wheel to a wagon. There was too much of
a boom—two much of a good thing. It spent
itself—grew small by degrees nnd beautifully
less, (in'il now it seems about to pluy out
altogether.
Well, let it re kept op by all means. L"t
it he spoken overvtime n name is uttered T'
Mr. A or Mr. B. is mim'd in cot motion
with office, forthwith let the boom resound
us thunder from the clouds, or as cannon
from the field of war. It is a goal thing;
it is u short word ; no trouble to speak it,;
no inconvenience in uttering it. Therefore
lei it not die out until all those for who-ar
benefit il has been used shall have tested its
strength.
So much for our boom.
ITm.l on the Currency Question. —In a
rcc'-nt interview with a World reporter, Mr.
Mill said :
“1 think it exceedingly fortunate that the
o'portunity is now presumed to as to end
all divisions upon the subject and return to
whn* must be confessed try all to he the
original, the real and the only true IT mo
oniric fai'li on this snhjet 1 have great
faith that this will '>e done. Ido not doubt
that the Southern Dernoc aey by overwhelm
tug mnjo iihs, if not unanimously, will sup
port the proposition contained substantially
in Mr. Bayard's resolution. The first step
is to get rid of the legal tender p:ipT money ;
we must get rid of the legal tender feature
of paper currency. Of course this does not
necessarily mean contraction ; it does not
mean contractibn at all, hut If does mean
that we should return to honest constitu
tional money Every intelligent man must
admit that coin is the only const it tv ionul
money, and that a paper issue convertible)
into coin is the only proper paper currency.
Certainlv no Democrat can take ismn with
tins plain proposition, for the Democtalic
party never held a more d'slinct position
than the one I have staled. You may, there
fore, rest assured that, as far as rnv humble
abilities go, they will all be devoted to give
success lo this proposition to get rid ol the
legal tender feature o' paper currency, and 1
do not doubt that I will be thoroughly sus
tained b,j the people I represent.”
Greenback*. — A recent issue of the
AeKalb County fiews contains the following
sensible remarks unent the greenback ques
tion, and it is so fully in accord with our
own views that we cheerfully give place
to it:
But at Inst, in a serious humor, our friend
inquires why we so despise greenbacks ? We
answer that we do not despise greenbacks in
their proper place, us u more, convenient
form of u circulating medium, based on ami
convertible into gold at the will of the
holder Sncli a greenback is the present
much abused national trank currency, and il
constitutes the great mass of wliut 111-* "peo
ple” commonly call gteetibaeks. We do
despise the demagoguery that calls lor a fiat
euriency based on the “creditof the nation,”
or any other imaginary thing, believing, as
we do, that this cry does not come Irom ihe
honest convict ioDS of the men who make it
in nine cases out ol ten, but from their desire
to atirnct the multitude lor tliesikeol office
or other gain. * * * We do not dislike
gr eenbacks either, so much as we do green
bai kism. for it lias already caused Democ
racy to be defeated all over the country, nnd
if carried to its legitimate ends will wipe out
all S'aVe lilies and constitutional bnrriers.
and aiiuibdme the lew remnants lull ol the
Constitution.
In Trouble —Alfonqp, who has just been
married, is not permitted to enjoy his honey
muon in peace. His cabinet has resigned,
and there are stormy times just now iu
Madrid. Just when lie most desired to h 'Ve
a little rest, this trouble breaks out wi h a
violentc that promises serious results, unless
wise counsels prevail.
Couldn't oo it. —The late lamented (?)
Senator from Michigan, whose peripatetic
cognomen was Chandler, never u<ed water us
a heveiage after reading tlie following ana
lysis of that useful fluid. It is as follows :
Ni'zschift cnrvu'a, Cymatoplenra solea,
Cymatopleura. ellipticn, Staurniieii punctata.
Uleurosiguia spencciii und Rhizo-oleuia
Krieosis.
Tame.—l he ‘'Organized” are not de
fiant as they were. The Democracy of
Georgia have some rights which the Ring
will be ob igetl to ies|HH;t, ami we tee! happy
in being able to record Ike (act. — Central
Ga Weekly.
That’s right ; keep a close watch and
report promptly. Nothing suits the Re
publicans belter than all this twaddle about
the organized, rings, and such like.
Tlir Kind of Notes Given by
Fm liters for Tlieir Guano.
Air. Editor: —With your permission I
desire to invite tbe attention of the planters
of this section of country to tbe form of the
notes that we farmers nre required to give
lor the commercial (so culled) fertilizers that
we have bten buyiug for seveial years past.
These notes are so worded that we have no
legal “go ba( k” ou tlue agents who frequently
aud no doubt uuwittiugly sell these spurious
guanas ; oor upon the company in whose
lavor the notes ate diawn. Agreeable to
the conditions set forth in the notes we sign,
it is expressly understood by tbe guauo
dealer, if not by the ignoiaut farmer, that
they sell their g-uano simply upon its “anal
ysis,” regardless of its effects upon the
farmer’s crop ; aud with this “inside track,"
these 101 manufacturers of worthless bags of
sand and dirt purporting to be fiist-class
and sell their fertilizers. What does the
common ignorant planter know of the “ana
Ivsis” that any of these fertilizers have un
dergone ? Not a thing And the man who
purports to have been the chemist who
analyzed the stufl, simply lies. All of the
hags containing these guanos have their
brand put on them before thp compound of
their contents is put in them, and we venture
the assertion that the analyzer who gives
them Ihe credit of a thorough analysis
never saw nor smelt the conteutsof one sack
out of a hundred.
In common with other men who own and
work poor land, I have been using some
little of these commercial manures for sev
eral years, and I find from my experience
that they are getting to bo almost worthless,
I paid near on to a SIOO this year for
guano—over $7 per sack—and if it bene
fited tny cotton to the vai ue ol 70 cents per
sack I could not discover it. Still 1 paid
for it, hs I have always done for all that I
ever bought. There are some men that I
know who are refusing to pay for their
guano, and the result is a contest at law.
Now, in order to obviate such difficulties’
let me advise the small planters to go to
work this winter and gather up from the
woods and barn yaid, and get a whole heap
of rich swam p muck, and compost a large
pile by next March, of home-made fertilizer
that wffi do better than any guano we buy.
It is conceded by every man who has any
practical experience in farming, that we
planters would do better, and make more at
less cost, if we would plant less laud and
thoroughly enrich whnt we do plant. 1 have
seen some iuud in cultivation this year (hut
did not make as much corn as it took to
feed Ihe mules that plowed the ground, to
say nothing of the time and worth of the
labor required to work such land. But if
planters rely on buying “gohannuh” to en
rich such poor land with, rhey will eome out
ut the end of the harvest minus any profit-
But the vendor of the guano must have the
cot tori from every man who bought his
guano, which is perfectly right, provided the
guano has been properly used and has been
the means of a lair and reasonable increase
ol cotton over urn) above the yield of the
laud with ut this guano. But this is not
the condition upon which we are expected
and required to pay lor it. Its preb nded
analysis is the only guarantee that the
farmer has that he wiil be bjocfitteJ by buy
ing these fertilizers.
Planters, ooe and all, big and little, don’t
let us buy any more, only upon the condition
that it increases the yield of our crops, as it
lotmerly did, in which case we will pay our
notes on the first ol Dect mber, und not be
fore, only ut our option. Planter.
Public Announcement.
Air Editor: —l expect to visit Georgia,
providence permitting, and to preach the gos
pel at various points. I will briefly state
certain leading points ol divine truth which
may be presented at my appointments, to
which Ihe attention of ihe public is earnestly
called ; and if any dispute, they are invited
to a-k questions, or to show the contrary
from Scripture or reason, so far as time per
mits at my appointments, or to arrange with
me special meCtiugs for a public discussion
oi the same :
Ist. Gild’s plan of sulvation is fully re
vealed in Scripture, which is tint preaching
ol the gospel, and belief of the same.
2>! Go I is the only organiz-r of His
church, nnd all man-made churches are un
imposture, and cause division, idolatry, and
turn to souls.
3d All sect organisms of Christ’s body are
sinful, aud in violation of the most vital
teachings and law of Christ and the apostles.
4th. All human organisms of the church
are bused on money, and make merchandise
of the gospel.
sih. Baptism and the outward rites are
not a test of character nor ground of lellow
ship.
Such are some o! the leading propositions
I advocate.
I will preach at Locust Grove, Henry
county, on the second Sabbath in January,
1880 All are invited to attend, especially
the Gcspel ministers.

Among the useful Toilet articles
we notice a much-liked preparation for the
hair, possessed ol properties so remarkable
that no one who cares to own a elea n and
healthy scalp with beautiful hair sb >uld
pass it untried Its properties ore
cleansing, invigorating and healing, and af
ter a few applications the hair ceases to
fall. Dandruff and Humors disap|iear and
the hair grows clean, soft and silky. It
keeps the head cool aud comfortable and
gradually restores the hair if gray or faded
to the natural aud Life-like color beautiful to
look upon. It is Parker’s Wait Balsam
that lias won such popular appreciation by
its many excellent and healthful properties.
