WE takt pleasure in again offering this standard Fertiliaer to the plan
ters of Southwest Ga , sold by us for the past three years. Notwith
standing the severe droughts and other misfortunes that havo befallen
the crops since we have been sellmg it,
THE UK SUPER-PHOSPHATE
fully sustains its character, as attested by hundreds of certificates from leading
planters in Terrell, CalbouD, Webster aud 1 taker counties,
THE STANDARD QUALITIES OF THIS FERTILIZER
will be fully maintained, and is guaranteed to every purchaser. Ne one need
fear that any advantage will be taken of its well and
justly earned popularity.
EXTHjAO TS:
IION. F. M. HARPER used 200 lbs Mape’s Superphosphate per acre, this
year. Rssult, as compared with land uumauured, in favor of the
hundred per cent.
MR. R. A. KEITH used, this year, from 100 to 250 lbs of the Phosphate per
acre this was the second year he has used it—-it made 500 lbs more cotton to
tbo acre than that untnanured. Espeots to use it again next year.
MR E. BELLFLOWER used it upou com and cotton, on poor, Sandy laod,
which doutlcd his crop.
JUDGE W. G. PIERCE, of Calhoun oounty, says, he put about a table
spoonfuil to the hill of corn, on poor, sandy land, that would not make more than
wo bushels com per acre, and he made eight bushels per acre.
Below wc give the names of some of tlie Planters who have
used this popular fertilizer:

TO PLANTERS who expect to use this popular Fertilizer, we would advise
to hand in their orders early, as we anticipate a heavy business in it the comine
season, and shipping may be difficult. If you would make au investment that
would pay you, try this Fertilizer. You who have poor lands, now is your time.
We will say that this Fertilizer is as good as any other offered in Georgia, taking
into consideration its cost per ton.
(B®miP©TOID 2
■taw w -,n gß ve any person ?15.00 per ton who t#isb to use Dixon’s Compound
\nf si \Ve can sell you the ingredients to make it. (Genuine Peruvian Guano,
Dissolved bones, Land Plaster and Salt,) and you can manipulate yourselves, at
a cost cheaper by $15.00 than you can buy it ready prepared. A large planter
last vear bought this of us, and has given us his order again this eeason, as he
says the oost to prepare it is nothing, and he prefers to manipulate it himself.
All these Fertilizers are warranted to be genuine.

■low a Valuable Baby Was
Changed aud How it turned
up Again.
On that part of the patrician avenue
which encroaches most valuably upon
Central Park live* the family of a quon
dam CrcOiua of Wall street, who some
years ago, upon returning with his
household from a wealthy trip to En
rope, brought hither a pretty French
bonne named Surette, as nurse for bis
youugest olive-branch. Settled ouce
more in their native Fifth avenue, the
family flourished luxuriously with the
lapse of time, Susctte’s nursling bloom
iog into a lovely girl without personal
resemblance to either parent, and be
ing wrought into full bloom at one of
the most fashionable hot house semina
ries ou the classic Hudson. Musette,
however, after a few snj turn iu
America, gave up her situation, upon
some very trivial prdscotr, idi suddc’Hy
disappeared from the country. There
wus a mystery about this which dis
tressed and perplexed the family not a
little at the time j but, after a while,
wonder sank into indifference and £3u
sette was forgotten. Upon their return
from Europe, the household had given
thoir wa.hing to a reduced widow who
had “seen bettor days,” and the quiet
gentility c. this amateur blancht»cu**
gamed for her the position of a kiud of
privileged pensioner, or humble friend.
One ot her daughters, a lovely girl ol
tender years, wtio generally carried the
washiog home, attracted the attention,
first, aud then the sisterly affection ot
the young lady deserted by Susette;
and tbialict, added to her own strong
fancy f>r the girl, induced the young U
dy’s mother to actually adopt the wid
ow’s daughter for education. And now
our story oomes down to a few days
since, when tbs Fifth avonuc family re
ecived by mail a huge, foreigu looking
package, bearing the post mark of an
obscure 'own iu the South of Franco.
This, upon being curiously opeued, was
found to contaiu a number of pipers
written in French, some of them bear
ing official seals. The mysterious
scrolls we.ro It, ul and eag rly about from
band to hand, in vain search for a read*
er proficient enough iu the lauguage of
the Gaul to translate them, until at last
th y reached Ibe belle who had beeu
educated on the Hudson, bue, after
momentarily noticing, with some sur
prise, that the namw of “Susette’' was
signed in some places, uadertook to
fathom the mystery ', but scarcely had
she gained the meauiDg of a couple of
pages wben she cast the paokage to th„
floor, pressed both bauds to hor face,
and burst into hysterical sobs and tears
The papers were from Susette, upon her
death-bed, and amounted to a du'y at
tested confession, as follows: She had,
one day, whi.e walking out with her
infant charge iu New York for au air
iug, called at tbo poor bume of the wii
ow lauudress, whose babo was of about
the oamo age as the one she carried.
The widow had begged ber to stuy and
tuiud the children wnile she took home
some work, aud Susette had acceded.
The two babes played together on the
floor, and in so doiog managed to roll
over a hot iroa that iuflioted a terrible
burn upon ono of them. This one, un
happily, chanced to be tbo stranger
babe, aud, “as there was a remarkable
likeness between the two,” Sa an put it
into the terrified nursemaid’s head to
chaage the eletbiog of the little inno
cents and take home the unburned one
as the rightful heiress. She did this
aud, by a combination of favoring cir
cumstances, was not detected; but, af
ter a few days, dread of discovery so
worked upon her iliat she hastily gave
up ber plaoe and hurried home to
France. Being bow upon her death
bed, and unable to expire peacefully
with such a secret upon her conscience,
she bud called priest and police-commis
sary to her aid and made the above con
fession for her former employers. It
will be Been, of course, that said reve
lation mad* a junior washerwoman of
the heiress and promoted the widow’s
daughter tc ber place, but after vari
ous hysterical tableaux, the distracted
and wealth family of the V\ r all Street
Croesus resolved that both girls should
be regarded as daughters, and that not
a word cf the family secret should ever
bo known outside the home on Fifth
avenue. A reporter, however, has “in
terviewed” tho said secret, and, it now
comes out as a model plot for the next
Volume fioai the Miuerva press.
A distinguished French phisioian, ju *
deceased, remarked, only a short ume
ago, that, during bis twenty six years
of practice in Farr *tty thousand
children had beeu i ,o to the
teries a sacrifice to the absurd costume
of naked anus. D. Warren thinks that
Boston sacrifices five hundred babies ov
ery year by not clothing their limbs.
The arms should be coverd, from the
wrist to the shoulder, with thick, knit
woollen sleeves.
Congressional Elections —The
committee on elections have agreed udoq
a bill which provides tnat the day for
holding elections for memb- rs of Con-r
gresa shall bo uniform throughout all the
States. Ai it will raquiro some chacgo
in the laws of several of the States to
conform to this act the bill provides
that it shall Bot take eff. c* until the first
Tuesday in November, 1872. Tne bill
has two ohjeets, first, to insure a full
representation of all the Sta'es at the :
organization of each new Congress on the j
4th of March, and second, to prevent
persont- from one S ate going i .to an

“Ah, Jemmy,” naid a sympathizing
friend to a man who was too\lute for
the train,“you did not run laetenough.”
“Yes I did,” said Jennny, “but I did

Iq th© summer of 1838 on© of our
editors was an •traobe of the Booth
Carolina railroad delegation to Lexing
ton, Ky., to atteud a barbecue, given by
the citizen* of that place to lion Rob
ert Y. Hayne, as Provident of the Loi—
invi lie, Cincinnati and Charleston railr
r“ad, dosigned to connect the queen
citv of the Sooth with the Qutoo City
of th* We*t. The delegation of lion.
Mitchell Kiug, Benjamin T. Elnrore,
E q., R. G Mill*, E q.. and Dr. U»r.
dy, of A-.hville, N. C , director* of th*
rail oa-1 company, who were j iocd by
Haul Fitzimmous, E-q , of Georgia;
Mr. B-n. T*ylor, of Columbia, B. C.,
and Mr. Yeadao, of ttio Courier. Gen
eral 11 ayqp, who had been on an exten
aivo railroad tour, met the delegation at
Lexington on bia Yettrh Southward.
The barbecue came off with great eclat
and emhusiasai, Geueral llayne, of
courso, in.king an eloq lent speech.,, iu
reply to a complimentary toast, and
Robert VVickliffj, jr., gracing the occa
sion with an admirable address, redolent
of South Carolina and her past history.
Hon. Robert Wicklife, sr., a great land
bolder, agriculturist aud breeder of fi*o
eattl >, furn.shed from his herd a halt
breed buffxlo, which was bxrbeoued or
roasted whole lor ihe occasion.
After the barbecue Mr. Clay invited
the party to dtue with him at Ashland,
his beautiful country re idenco and tioh
caitlo farm Tbe dinner waa epicurean
in viauds and wines, aud the ice oreatn,
made entirely of pure cream, from hta
own dairv, of course, with sugar added,
was exq iisite Iu taste aud coolness.
At table, ono of the guests called at
tention to two beautiful paintings on tbe
mantle piece ; whereupon Mr. Clay,
punting to oue of ike paintings, said
archly aud smiling: “I will tell you
how 1 came by tfut paioiing, providing
(bowing to ons of his guests) it dtfos
not go luto the newspapers, as it in
volves an anecdote at the expense of
my old fricn 1, Mr. Adatns.” Ha then
proceeded thus : “Mr. Adams, Mr, Gal
latin, and myself, throe of the commis
sioners for negotiating a 'rpa’y ot pease
with Great Britain iu Ibid, wore at
Ghent, boarding at 'he same hotel.
One morning we went to a great exhi
bition (or sale) of painting., and each
of us purchased one. Oa returning to
our quarters our paintings were sent us.
Admiring Mr. Adams’ purchase very
much, I said to him, ‘Mr. Adams, I
would like to win your painting from
you ; 1 will stake mine against yours, at
a game of oardr.’ Agreed said Mr. Ad
ams. What game will you piayf’ said
t. ‘All Pours,’said Mr. Adams. We
out for the deal; l wou it; and alt, turned
up jack, and scored high low, jtek and
the game aud the next hand oouutcd
out aud won tbe stake. I than turned
to Mr. Gallatin (who had purchased a
fine paiotiug of the Ytrgiu Mary,) and
said 'Mr. Gallatin, I would like tu win
your paiotiug from you, in the same
manner as 1 nave wou that of Mr. Ad
am-.’ ‘No, sair,’ said S*». Gallatin, iu
hi. broken Eugiish; '1 did not win tbo
Veergin so, aud I shall uot lose beer
so.’ ”
The company were all highly amnsed
at tbe anecdote, and at the manner in
which Mr. Clay narrated it, fully oom
mg up to his reputatiou as a reconteur.
The cream of tbe aueodote was that
Mr. Adams,a staid and demure gentle
man, should have uot only assented to
play cards with Mr. (Hay, but should
have proposed a game of “All Fours,”
at which Mr. City waa a perfect adept.
