I lie \ eai 1884 is passed, and a new one is again upon us.
It behooves everybody who till’s the soil to be on the lookout and
make his preparations lor a new crop, and also consult his own
interest, and use such lertili/.ers as will prove most beneficial to
land and plant. From the many testimonials below will be seen
that the Franklin Ammoniated Dissolved Bone has been used by
a great many of our best planters and citizens of this county for
:several years with great satisfaction. I claim to sell this year,
lSSo, a still better article than ever. The Guano is made up en
tirely of animal matter and such other ingredients as are most
available to the plant and a good food for same, this assurance
having been made me by the company’s general agent, for whom
I am selling. I therefore invite everybody to get my prices before
purchasing elsewnere. Special terms and prices to parties who
buy car load lots. The different brands of Guano which I handle
are Rialto Guano, Grange’s Mixture, Franklin’s Ammoniated
Dissolved Bone and Franklin’s Acid. Below is the analysis of
the Franklin, samples of which can be seen at the office of II.
Franklin in Waynesboro. Respectfully,

IDear .'SSiir: There seems to have been a report started in this part of
tfihe .county that the FRANKLIN GUANO is not up to the standard, and
*iot iis (represented by you. As you have sold a great deal of the Guano,
and J liaving bought largely of it myself, in order to satisfy myself and
friends a* to the quality of tho Guano, I had a member of the State
Chemistry, General Thomas, of Atlanta, to come down and take a sam
ple of the Franklin Guano to analize. I received an answer a few days
ago, in which he states that the Guano is all right, in every respect up to
the standard, and contains the full amount of ingredients as branded on
the sacks. This will probably afford you a great deal of satisfaction, as
it will those who are using the Franklin Guano. Very respectfully,

Dear Sir: Since writing to you last April about the FRANKLIN
GUANO, I will now state that I distributed the Franklin along side the
Good Luck and Turner Guano, all equal valuation, the hitter having
been used by me in old ante-bellum days, and was then known to be as
good a guano as there was coining South. Tt cost me this year fifty dol
lars per ton, spot cash, at factory in Baltimore, and I have the assurance
from the maker that the Guano* is now as good as ever, and up to the
old standard. Also the Good Luck is considered an A one Guano. My
crops have all received equal attention and work, and I never could dis
cover any difference on my crops where the different guanos were dis
tributed.* This proved to me that the Franklin is as good as any. I
surely shall use the Franklin again next yeur. Very respectfully,
TT. T. JONES.

The 2<!th lust.
We would remind the ladies of

solemnity.

Millen is just now one of the
brightest and most progressive
towns in the state. New buildings
are going up in ail parts of the
town, and when it gets its new rail
road there will be no limit to its ex

at the junction of three railroads,and
drawing on four counties for its pat-
onnge. It has a bright future be
fore it.
A Serious Accident.
Mr. Hancock, overseer ot the

A heavy piece of timber fell upon

Mr. G. W. Moore and lady, of
Hartford, Conn., and a member of
the firm of G. W. Moore A Oo.,
bankers, who have been engaged
the past year or two in the business
of lending money to Southern far
mers, is again here visiting our
city. 31 r. Moore is travelling
through the South partly on busi
ness and partly for pleasure—and
we shrewdly suspect, partly to es
cape the rigors of a Connecticut
winter. Be that, however, as it
may, we were pleased to see his
genial, benevolent face, take him by
the hand, and again welcome him
to our city.
But we were not prepared to
believe that the influence of a few
waves of the balmy breezes of the
‘Sunny South’and its bright rippling
waters would so tempt a gentle
man from “the Land of Steady
Habits,” upon whose head “the sil
ver threads” are largely in the ma
jority, as to cause him to forget the
rules and habits of his past life and
Urtid him to do that which he nev^
er did before in all his life—i. e., go
fishing. But let the sequence tell
the tale. On Thursday morning we
received a number of fine, large

Moore, and upon inquiry learned

to a swinging limb on the first of
April. A freshet came, and he was
unable to get to his hook, and did
not go to it until the last of July,
when he found on it a large chan
nel cat, weighing 12 pounds. The
hook had worked a large hole in tho
side of the fish’s mouth, but it bad
healed up nicely and smoothly. The
fish when taken from the hook was
nice and fat, and tho question is,
how did it subsist? These are facts.

fourteen mile post. Supt. Rachalls
and his faithful subordinates are

Jones, of Burke county, was
married this evening, at the resi
dence of the bride’s sister, In Thom*
asville, to 3Iiss 3Iary Chairs. This
is the third or fourth matrimonial
venture of the groom’s. May it be
as full of happiness for him and his
new wife as have been his formor

as no one seems to have had any
suspicion of such an event. We
tender the doctor and his fair bride
our most cordial congratulations,
and bid 3Irs. Jones welcome to tho
fair clime of Burke. 3Iay no cloud
of adversity cast a shadow over their
happiness and prosperity.
Yesterday (Friday) evening a
heavy rain, wind and hail storm
passed over this county. About
two miles nortwest of this city, it
struck 3tujor Wilkins’ plantation
tearing away about forty pannels of
fence, scatering the rails as if they
had been feathers. Passing on in
its course, we next hear of it in tho
neighborhood of Green’s Cut.where
it prostrated fences and trees. We
hear of no very great damage done.
The rain fell in torrents mixed
with hail, the consequenco being a
Hjnuch lower temperature to-day.—

3fr. H. L. Foster, our artistic har
ness maker, gives us the following
item: Six years ago he, with seve
ral other gentlemen, went fishing,
lie cut a fishing pole from a syca
more tree, and caught several fish
with it, and bringing thupole home,
he had amused himself along tho
way by thrashing the polo at any
thing which presented Itself for a
strike, when he arrived at 3Ir. Oscar
(i resham’s lot, on Badula street, lie
sharpened one end of the pole and
stuck it into tho ground. That
fishing pole to-day Is a tree thirty
foot high. The tree would have
been much higher and the boughs
moro expanded, but a wind broke
off tho toji just as it hud begun to
shoot upward. This fishing polo
now bids fair to result In u magnifi
cent shade tree.
