1 tie )ear 1884 is passed, and a new one is again upon us.
It behooves everybody who fill’s the soil to be on the lookout and
make his preparations for a new crop, and also consult his own
interest, and use such fertilizers 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
iseveral years with great satisfaction. I claim to sell this year,
1885, a still better article than ever. The Guano is made up en
tirely oi 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,

Last Sunday as two chicken ped
dlers were passing Mount Zion
Landreth’s I church their wagons heavily loaded
Justice P. D. Cox, of the G7th dis
trict was called on,on the 7th inst,, to
perform the marriage ceremony
which indissolubly bound in the
bonds of matrimony, Thos. Cum
mings, i)7 years of age, and
Marguerite col., aged about 40
years. Our Justice felt the impor
tance and solemnity of the occasion,
and in the spirit and impulse of in
spiration, improvised the following
beautiful and impressive ceremony,
and which we commend to the oth
er justices of the county for use in
similar important occasions:
“Toni will you take'Rot.
Without nny regret,
To love and to cherish,
Till one of you perish
And Is luld under the sod;
Ho help you God.”
To this Thomas assented with a
hearty, “ya’s sir.” The justice then
proceeded to complete the other
half of the job as follows:
“’Hot, will you take Tom,
And cling to him long,
ltoth out und in,
Through thick nnd thin;
Holding him to your heart.
Till dentil do you part?”
The response was decisive, “sartin
I will, sar.”
Then came the grand finale which
tied the silken but casehardened
steel bands, and tho justice
proceeded with that grace of action
and dignity of demeanor which al
ways markes his every action, to
say:
“Thro 1 life's alternate Joy and strife,
I now pronounce you man and wife,
do up life's hill (III you get to the level,
And salute your hrido you rusty black
devil!”
The pleasant occasion was over,
and as the newly married pair left
immediately on a wedding tour to
“do cotton patch,” a complacent
smile overspread the handsome fea
tures of our justice, and he mur
mured in tones caught from the low,
soft music of the .Eolian harp, as he
pocketed the fee, “I did that job up
right, you bet.”

Mr. S. Schwarzweiss, Agent for Franklin's Ammoniated Dissolved Done
and Franklin's Acid, Waynesboro, Ga.
Dear Sir: There seems to have been a report started in this part of
the county that the FRANKLIN GUANO is not up to the standard, and
not as represented by you. As you have sold a great deal of the Guano,
and I having bought largely of it myself, in order to satisfy myself and
friends as to the quality of the 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,
(Signed.) R. T. JONES,

Mr. S. Schwarzweiss, Agent, Waynesboro, Ga.
Dear Sir: Since writing to you last April about the FRANKLIN
i GUANO, 1 will now state that I distributed the Franklin along side the
< Good Luck and Turner Guano, all equal valuation, the latter having
been used by me in old ante-bellum days, and was then known to be ns
good a guano as there was coming South. It cost me this year fifty dol-
i 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 1 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
(Signed.)
surelv shall use the Franklin again next year. Very respectfully,

Dew Sir: In reply to yours of late date inquiring about the Franklin
Amnitoniated Dissolved Bone, will say since the last six years, during
which time I have used the Guano, it has more than pleased me, and
surpassed any I have ever used, and has proven itself all that is claimed
for it. I shall increase the amount used by me this year, thirty-five tons,
to fifty tons next year. Yours very truly,

GUANO, bought from you the past season, came duly to hand. In reply
will state that I have used this year the Patapsco, State Standard and

ffrom you again next year. Very respectfully,

Dear Sir: All l can say in answer to your inquiry of November 1
about tho FRANKLIN GUANO, that the same has deny better for me
than any guano I ever used, and 1 am now planting for forty-three years,
1 distributed the Franklin Guano alongside theCheasapeak, and I could
tell the difference on my crop even on a dark night and distinguish
where the Franklin was from the other by the larger weed and the
quantity of fruit. I shall use no other for next year than the Franklin,

exhibits surpassed anything lie saw.

it not only as a souvenir of the
great exposition, but as the gift
from a valued friend.

Anuther Attempt.
Augusta News of Tuesday says:—
Major Wilkins will soon make his
third attempt at boring an artesian
well in Waynesboro. There is no
end to the good work which the
major does for his little city, and ho
not only deserves success hut will,
wo believe, achieve it.
Wo had almost given up tho idea
of ever having an artesian well, and
when our eyes fell upon the above
item we made inquiry, and learned
that it was the major’s intention to
make another vigorous effort to ob
tain, a well, and our hopes again re
vived. We were already fully
aware ot hiH energy and determined
spirit, but bad concluded that sever
al failures had caused him to dls-
pair, and to abandon the enterprise.
With the experience lie now Has,
we believe he will now succeed in
giving Waynesboro a fountain of
pure water and a well to our city
will lie tho achievement of the
greatest enterprise ever projected
within Its limits, and Major Wilkins
will deservo the gratitude of the
present and all future citizens, Suc-
eess, full and complete, to him, say
we.

The Huffman Comedy Company.
This week a company of some ten
or twelve persons came to our city,
calling themselves by the above
name. On Tuesday night they
gave an entertainment, and to in
duce an attendance offered prizes,
a la lottery, lor every ticket bought.
The bill of prizes as laid down in
tlie programme was magnificent,
but tlie result was tantalizing.—
Failing to dupe our people with all
these specious offers, the next move
was to “beat” the town out of nil ex
penses. In tho mean time a tele
gram was received from Savannah
asking that they bo attached for un
paid hills in that city. Tho papers
were promptly issued, and by some
means they slipped through tlie
fingers of tlie officer, but were over
hauled at Milieu and made to dis
gorge. Other communities, of
course, must look out for them
selves. We don’t think they will
ever return to Waynesboro.

We hope in tho near future to or
ganize a splendid club at Girard.
Tlie health of our community Is
improving with the good weather.

Verdure is beginning to clothe
the fertile vale, and the “early birds”
are donning spring attire.
Dr. Brigham has labored day and
night like a loyal soldier, through
the trying hours of sickness, and is
looking physically warm.
Miss Chambers, principal of tho
school at Telfairville, made us glad
with her prep epee at chureli and
Sunday school last Sunday.
We are now eating shad. Your
correspondent expects to go fishing
ere long. If some one had not told
us better, we should have been fish
ing for shad with a hook!
Tlie farmers find that their corn
was not so badly injured by tlie
heavy rain as they expedited. Corn
and garden “truck” are looking well,
and cotton is being planted rapidly.
The Sunday school at Girard aca
demy is a success. Mr. Charles
Brigham is superintendent, nnd
Mrs. M. E. Wimberly organist. Wo
have a splendid corns of eight
teachers, and a good supply of
books and periodicals. Last Sunday
tlie attendance was nearly one hun
dred. Tiio day-school still continues
to increase in numbers and in inter
est. There are now ninety-two
names on the roll, and others will
enter next week. The following
named pupils were present every
day during the first month: Allio
Wimberly, Annie Houston, Lula
Snider, India Heath, Beulah Brig
ham, Edna Buxton, Ida Long, Har
vey Odom, Willie Buxton, Joe Bux
ton, Edward Holland, Bennie Mob

It would he a good thing for tho
county commissioners to require a
certain course of books in the
schools, and establish a book ex
change where tho old hooks could
be disposed of and new ones ob
tained.
