DA WSON JOPRNAL. 10C&1U COLUMN. Loylew a Ur»li"» Offer their services as Wsrehouseroen l 0 tbe planting publi*, and ask that they be "judged in tbe future by the past.” '1 bis is surely a fair criterion, \ u i all that could be asked of any firm Kead carefully their advertisement. . FRESH lot of prints just received A J. W ROBERTS & 00 Tr»S‘ c As we go to press we learn that John (3 Lee, wbo was charged with and tried for the murder of Capt. Richard H Fletcher, and upon wnoso case the jury made a mistrial at tbe last term of our Superior Court, was kil’ed last night in jail. Tbe parties were disguised aud are unknown. Tbe keys to tbe jail were taken from the jailer at tbe pistol’s moutb, and the throat of tbe prisoner cut. We have not time or space to go in'o the details of this tragedy aud re st exceedingly that we htve even had cause for its mention. He having paid tbe debt, uur opinion t, injure his oause sow, aDd, whi e ;'ree to say that we have n « put that he was the murderer of our worthy citizen, Capt. F., and that justice cried aloud tor bis life, we dis approve of mob law, and tbink that the law of tbe land should have been allow ed to take its course, aDd its decision abided by and held sacred. Our com munity much regret, the occurrence. We are much obliged to our friend Nixon for some apples 1( ft in our office, but the devil got sight of them while the Editor was taking lessons in “short band,” and played the devil with the apples. That Melon— From Cap\ Pratt, was as his soul and body, very large. Wonder if the Captain is like Shakespeare, ‘‘never re peats.” for Sale Low- One lady’s fine Gold Watch, and one gent’s heavy Gold Chain with oharms. Articles can be seen by calling at this office. 15 4t Pole Hog— Our frieod, Judge 11. R >gors, has been speaking of a fine breed of hogs be saw while on a visit to his old home in North Georgia; and in passing bis resi dence a few days since, we saw a speci men of a Log in his yard, which we supposed to be of late importation of the j Pule breed, if there is any man that 1 era show a pig, or hog, with a logger ( nose or snoot, thicker and longer hair, j bristles, more mangy, and with more the appearance of a cross with the Opos sum, and a predisposition to be attacked with bug cholera, he can Cali at our of fi e and take the premium. This breed may do well where the Judge came from, hut think this climate a little too siekly for them. Judge It.nott— Will please accept our thanks for a lot of fine onions of his own raising. The Judge estimates that he has made at the rates of 240 bushels to the a cre this season. SSuTuruer, the negro Post Master at Macon, is biiag tried for passing couoterfeit Greenbacks on a large scale. ; Decision not yet made as to his guilt. Mr. Swayzie may be sure of the decisi n made in bis case.

We oan’t please everybody, and don’t mean to displease any one, but eoneeive it to be our duty to notice all improvements, more especially in agriculture ; hence, must be al lowed some latitude, and ask of our experi enced farmers to leok with some degree of allowance on our opinions, in case, they be incorrect, aud come to our relief by giviug to tbe public the truth iu its purity. Our col umns are open to you. We have ever advocated the plan of mak ing the most on tbe land planted, and to that end, say that, if we would plant less, I cultivate better and fertilise more, we would ! succeed better, and make more money. We » sited the fat ins of Messrs, Whlliker Wilkinson and Judge Campbell, and were pleased to see that tbeir experiments in fer tilizlng and improved culture was a perfect success. We do not think we draw on our imagina tion, when we say that Mr. Whiriker will make more corn and cotton on forty-five acres of land than will be made on some farms of one hundred and fifty acres, that have been planted aud cultivated in the usu al way, on which were used the common seed of the country, and were manured with neither compost nor commercial fertilizers. We heard a frieud say on our streets that one of ihe largest planters of Terrell said that Dave Dickson was a humbug. Well, if he is a humbug, we like to be humbugged, if the using of his seed and heeding his advice as to culture and the kind of fertilizers to use constitutes a victim to his humbuggery. All who have made experiments, are well pleas ed, and say they intend to slick closer to the advioe of such men as Dickson and other intelligent planters. It is time we stop going to mill with a bush el of corn in one end of the bag and a stone in the other. We are not able to make these most elegant failures in plantiog, and the plan to pursue is to begin to experiment ourselves and rend the experience of others, and be willing to be guided by sound argument when we see it, makes no difference from whom it comes. If there be any doubting Thomas, we eav go and see for yourselves. No doubt but that in all neighborhoods there are plasters using fertilizer more or less, and al so some who are testing the plan of surface culture, Ac. ; talk with them, exchange ideas, and he benefitted by the advice that may be given, one to another. IMA KkET KEJPOKT. No elmiige to make in our report ol last week, except that corn has ad vanced, and is now selling in this mar ket at 81 65 to 81 75 per bushel. kTeTd MReXim iI A Penny Saved , is Two Pence Made ONE hundred years experience by the World, since Benjamin Franklin uttered the above proverb, but adds to its truth.
