MAPI'S sirn-riairiATi H|n v j'lfii f 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: 0 C KERSEY, Terrell county. M L BURNEY, Terrell county. JAS CLARK, Terrell county. O P BROWN, Terrell oounty.

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. Call and see Pamphlets wfcich will bo ready for distribution in a few days. Cj*D«n’t forget the place. LOYLESS & GRIFFIN. flf Til AVEMJG KO.IASCEr ■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 other to colonize. “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 nUrt coon enough. * VOL IV. —NO. 48. WIMNINfC A PICTUBE. II»w Henry Clftjr and John I’tayed a ttauie Off All Foam. 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. The anecdote, iu due respect to Mr. Clay’s admonitory proviso,' Las never been in print; but now that the illus trious parties oonoerned have gone to honored graves, we feel at liberty to give it a place in our eolumus.— (JharLet ton Courier.
