A Happy !Wew Year
Good Luck to All
1 lie year 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 jbr 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 hranklin Ammoniated Dissolved Bone has been used by
a great many ot our best planters and citizens of this county for
several years with great satisfaction. I claim to sell this year,
l88d, a still better article than ever. The Guano is made up en-
tiroly 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,

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 hail a member of the State
Chemistry, Geueral Thomas, of Atlanta, to come down and take a sam
ple of the Franklin Guano to anali/.e. 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. Tills 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
GUANO, I will now state that I distributed the Franklin along side the
Hood 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 as
good a guauo as there was coining 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 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 year. Very respectfully,
(Signed.) ROBT. T. JONES.
Bukkjj County, Ga., October 25,1884.
Mr. S. Schwarziceiss, 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. Y'ours very truly,
(Signed.) W. J. HATCHER.

an honest, fair dealer, and having

add our own endorsement to the
above opinion. This season Cooke’s
clothing store Is carrying an extra
superb stock, and at prices to com
pare with the times and scarcity of

money by buying your clothing at
Cooke’s clothing store.
The Oat Crop.
We have understood through the
whole season that the oat crop of
the county was unusually unpromis
ing, but we are pleased to barn
from prominent farmers that the
prospects are brightening each day.
The terrible drouth of last fall pre
vented tlie sowing of a fall crop,
and a spring crop is usually consid
ered doubtful. The drouth not
only prevented the sowing of a fall
crop, but limited the planting of a
large area in spring grain. There
is, therefore, a smaller crop of oats
sown in the county than has been
the case for years. Some of the
crops sown in the fall are fine, and
among these exceptions is the crop
of Mr. W. J. Hatcher, a specimen of
which we have had in our window
for several days—taken, as we are
informed, as an average from a 40
acre field. Many of our farmers
have passed, and been attracted by
this specimen. Some say they can
“beat them,” while others sneering-
ly say, “they came from a manure
pile.” To those who assert that
they can excel the specimen exhib
ited, we can only say we congratu
late you. To those who say they
were grown in a manure pile, we
have only to say, if one foot of land
In Burke county properly fertilized
will produce such oats, then every
foot of land in the county, properly
fertilized will do the same, and the
farmer who goes upon the “manure
pile” theory, condemns his own
agricultural policy whenever he
offers such and argument. Burke
county is the home of the oat, (it
growing wild in many parts of the
county,) and, indeed, all other
varieties of grain, and will grow
almost spontaneously. It is not the
home of the cotton plant, for
although the county produces from
25,000 to 30,000 bales per annum, we
have yet to see “a sample” of the
highest grade of cotton. The secret
ot the great number of bales pro
duced is because our lands are gen
erous, and our farmers plant all cot
ton. The day is fast approaching
when the farmer will appreciate the
adaptation of soil and climate, and
yield obedience to the dictates of
Nature.

The most important discovery is
that which brings the most good
to the greatest number. Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption,
coughs, and colds, will preserve the
health and save life, and is a price
less boon to the afflicted. Not only
does it positively cure consumption,
but coughs, colds, bronchitis, asth

of the throat, chest and lungs, yield
at once to its wonderful curative
powers. If you doubt this get a

Mr. Editor: Will you allow mo
space to ask the county school com-*
mlnsiouers for information concern
ing the schools of Burke county.
It is information which the citizens
who pay (lie taxes for school pur
poses believe they are entitled to,
and have long waited to see pub*
HsliwU, hut which the commission
er lias entirely failed to do. llow
many schools, of each kind, white
and black, arc there in the county;
how many pupils are attending
school in the county, and how much
of the public funds are appropriat
ed to each school? I think, sir,
that the public is entitled to, and
hope our commissioner will grant
so reasonable a request.
I am informed that the tax col
lector has paid into the county
treasury, in the aggregate, $8,100.50
for school purposes. This is a large
sum, and the people desire to know
how it has been disbursed.
Last year they paid to the school
of which I am a patron $90 for a
three months free term, or $30 per
month. This year $100. was appro
priated to the same school for a
four months term, or $25 per month.
The unsophisticated mind of the
farmer does not readily grasp such
subtle and abstruce calculations,
and for that reason myself and
many other citizens of the county
respectfully ask our county school
commissioner to make the mutter
public through our county paper.

Girard, May 6.—Farmers are
jubilant over the fine growing sea
sons we are now having, and are
busily engaged chopping cotton, of
which they have good stands and
the young plant is looking remark
ably well.
Corn is about ploughed over the
first time, and though small, is
looking well, anu but for tiie ru
mors of war our farmers M ould be
perfectly contented; but those dis
tant M'ur rumblings of two of the
most powerful nations on earth
make them fear that king cotton
may be dethroned for a season at
least.
The suicidal policy of the farmers
of the South in raising all cotton
to the exclusion of provision crops
iB, I think, very unwise in times of
peace, and they will find it much
worse in case of war, but it wili
take some hard experience to bring
about a change in this mode of
farming, so infatuated are they
with king cotton.
The educational interest of our
community is receiving more than
usual attention this year. The
school at Girard is still flourishing,
and has upon its roll upwards of 90
pupils. Rev. R. E. L. Folsom, prin
cipal, is a thoroughly educated
mail, and is ably assisted by Mrs.
M. E. Wimberly, a lady ot long ex
perience in the school room.
The mumps are now raging in
our community, and for tho last
week has considerably decimated
the number of pupils in the school.
We have a very large Sabbath
school at Girard, which meets every
Sunday at 3 o’clock p. m. 1^.

East afternoon the members of a
new’ croquet club met upon tho
beautiful green sward in the lower
part of our city, to engage in their
innocent amumment. The club
consists of Misses C.,fford Gray,
Susie Burton, Ilaidee Routzalm,
Lucy Garlick, Katie Hall, Mattie
Rodgers, Annie Burton and Katie
Godbee. Olio half of the members
wore pink costumes, the other blue;
making a lovely picture to behold;
especially, when in contemplation
we review the bright colors of tho
lovely costumes of this bevy of fair
misses in connection with the
brighter qualities of beauty, purity
and innocence to which they may
all justly lay claim. Arrayed as
tliey were, each badgod with a
beautiful bouquet of flowers anil
white silk ribbons upon which tho
name of their club M’as printed,
well might they bo denominated
the nine muses and daughters of
Jupiter (though wanting one to com
plete the number) worthy to preside
over their respective arts, promot
ing love and harmony among mor
tals.
This popular young club tendored
a reception to tltelr numerous
friends on last evening at the hos-
pitahlo residence of Col. R. I,.
Phelps. Waynesboro’s “beauty and
chivalry gathered there anil Joy
was uiicontined.” Refreshments,
dainty and ambrosial were tender
ed and served by these fair god
desses ot youth to their attending
friends and guests, with all the
grace of Hobe, the cup-bourerof the
Gods.
’I’his occasion of pleasant social
reunion Mill ever ho regarded by
those attending with special de
light, lyiil In future bo treasured as
one of the brightest pictures that
hangs upon memory’s wall.
