Good Luck to
The year 1884 is passed, and a new one is again upon us.
It behooves everybody who till’s the soil to he 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
several years with great satisfaction. I claim to sell this year,
1885, 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
bey 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,
S. SCHWARZ WEISS, Agent.

Mr. S. Schwarzweiss, Agent for Franklin's Ammoniated Dissolved Bone
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 ho 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. Schwarzioeiss, Agent, Waynesboro, Ga.
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 latter bavin
been used by me in old ante-bellum days, and was then known to be s
good a guano as there was coming South. It 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 Gooil 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. 1
surely shall use the Franklin again next year. Very respectfully,
(Signed.) ROll’T. T. JONES.

Mr.S. Schwarzioeiss, Agent, Waynesboro, Ga.
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of late date inquiring about the Franklin
Ammoniated 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,
(Signed.) W. J. HATCHER.

lizer used by me tins season, and I am more than pleased with the result.
Will buy from you again next year. Yours very respectfully,

Dear Sir: Your favor of the 1st inst. inquiring about the FRANKLIN
GUANO, bought from you the past seftson, came duly to hand. In reply
will state that I have used tins year the Patapsco, State Standard and
Franklin’s Ammoniated Dissolved Bone. The latter proved to be equal
ly as good as the other Fertilizers that I have used and expect to buy
from you again next year. Very respectfully,

Monday was Memorial Day,
Then the South gathered around
the tombs of her sleeping heroes to
honor their memory and re-indorso
the cause in which they died. Old
soldiers were there who stood be
side the graves of their comrades,
who lay sleeping at their feet, and
their hearts thrilled as memory
brought back to them the bivouac
and battlefield; the old man was
there, and looked solemnly at the
last resting place of son or brother;
the matron was there, and a pang
of grief which time can never eradi
cate wrung her soul; the old maiden
was there, amid whose glossy liair
more than twenty years’ time had
placed the silver threads, her heart
yet true to the sleeping lover whose
whisper of love can no more wake
an answering thrill; the young
man, and maiden and child were
there—all—all—interested in the
green mounds which wraps the
cold forms of the sleeping braves
who died to defend their liberties
and firesides. They will never be
forgotten; through all time will
their deeds of valor, their glory and
the sacrifice of their lives upon
the country’s altar be handed down
by record and tradition from gene
ration to generation, and yearly
forever will the memory of them be
refreshed.
The Decoration Ceremonies here
were very impressive, the Ladies’
Memorial Association presenting a
most beautiful and interesting pro
gramme. At 4:30 o’clock the Meth
odists, Baptist and Presbyterian
Sunday schools formed a procession
in front of the Methodist church,
and marched to the cemetery,
where were already gathered every
citizen who could possibly leave bis
business. At 5 o’clock Major W.
A. Wilkins appeared on the stand
and announced the order of exer
cises in a neat, chaste, but short ad
dress. The following exercises
were presented:
Prayer, by Rev. B. F. Breedlove,
pastor of the Methodist church.
Song, “Sleep on Ye Heroes,” by
the choir.
Recitation, “The Present,” by Miss
llaidee Rout/.alni.
Song, “When the Mists Have
Cleared Away,” by the choir.
Song, “Scatter Lovely Flowers,”
by the choir.
Recitation, “Bivouac of the Dead,”
by Miss Rosa Rowland.
Song, “We Forget not the Day,”
by the choir.
Then followed the benediction by
Rev. Mr. McGhee, presiding elder
of the Savannah district Methodist
church, and the day’s ceremonies
were over.
The graves of the soldiers and
the monument were most beauti
fully decorated with wreaths of
flowers. Here let us pause to com
pliment our ladies upon the neat
ness of the cemetery. The women
of the South—God bless them—the
most beautiful,the purest and truest,
they have no equals on earth.
Our business# men closed their
doors, and our people were out al
most en masse.
Let our dead sleep on till another
Memorial Day shall come, and we
will again water the tree of memo
ry and keep it green with our tears.

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

As many reports have been in
circulation to the detriment of this
Association on account of its rapid
strides and great popularity, I take
this method of nailing one of them
to the counter: An insurance
agent, of one of the old line com
panies, told a prominent citizen of
this place that all the members re
siding in Athens had dropped their
membership, and to get at the truth
of it, I wrote a letter of inquiry to
Capt. D. Cran Oliver, of Athens, in
quiring into the trutli of it. His
reply, given below, speaks for itself.
The other reports will likely fall to
the ground likewise.

We notice the arrival of Esq.
Holland in our village, after a visit
of some weeks to Blakely.
Our jolly townsman, A. J. Wig
gins, made ids friends sad by a tem
poral absence. Can it be that a
fair damsel has anything to do with
his late departure.
Farmers who have hail to suspend
cotton planting on account of tem
porary drought can now resume
work with renewed hope and
energy, as our section was visited
last night by a heavy rain, accom
panied by lightning, thunder and
hail. “We don’t mind the weather
so tho wind don’t blow.”
While riding over the seed farm
oi Mr. P. S. Jones our attention was
attracted by ton acres of the finest
collards we have ever seen. Tho
extent of this farm and the success
with which this enterprising young
planter lias met for two years
proves what industry and close ap
plication to business can do. We
also noticed large lots of assorted
vegetables, which are being ship
ped from this place to the neighbor
ing cities, from tho gardens of W.
B. Jones A Sons.
On Tuesday the depot presented
quite a gay scene. The occasion
was the arrival of Dr. W. B. Jones
and bride, who were greeted by a
bevy of young ladies and gentle*
men who had assembled to welcome
them after an extended tour and a
visit to the Exposition. The accom
