princely. The negroes fear and vener

We offer for sale Cotton Seed Meal, or would exchange for
Seed where parties desire to do so. At present prices of Meal
and Seed, thirty bushels of the latter would pay for sufficient
Meal to manufacture one ton of Guano—requiring, in addi
tion, the proper proportions of the cheaper ingredients—Acid
Phosphate and Kainit.
We give below reports as to results obtained from Meal,
properly composted.
Hon. J. T. Henderson, in his report of the Soil-Test of Fer
tilizers, conducted under the direction of the State Chemist at
Athens, Ga., says the object of the experiment was—
“To test the result of fertilizing with a cheap composted fertilizer compared
with equal quantities of high-priced commercial fertilizers. A compost was
made of the following substances in the relative proportion named, viz:
Acid Phosphate 1250 lbs.
Cotton Seed Meal 500 lbs.
Kainit 250 lbs.
“This was applied on one portion of the plat side by side with three standard
fertilizers. A, B, and C, each at tlie rate of 300 lbs. per acre. The plat contained
four sections, whose area was each one-half acre.

“The mixture described above produces better results than the average of the
three fertilizers used in competition with it. As it costs about half as much as
tnese it is much more profitable,”
Special prices made to clubs, and full directions given for
mixing the compost.
McBRIDE & CO., Newnan, Ga.
We would caution our customers against mixing and selling this compost,
unless tlie State inspection fee of 50 cents per ton is paid. There is no law,
however, to prevent a farmer from manufacturing fertilizers for use on his own
land.

THE PLACE TO GET THE MOST GOODS
FOR
THE LEAST MONEY
IS AT
J. R. HERRING’S!
I lay down the broad proposition that I can sell, and am
actually selling, goods cheaper than any house in town, and
am prepared to sustain this proposition with irrefragable proof.
Observe the following, as a starter—
Will sell all-wool Jeans for 30c. per yard.
Ten cents is all I ask for the best Dress Gingham. -
Dress Checks at 7 1-2 cents.
There is no such bargain in town as my 50c. reinforced lin
en bosom Shirt.
My stock of Gent’s Furnishing Goods can’t be beat, either
for style or selectness.
CLOTHING.
I am somewhat overstocked on Clothing and am determin
ed to unload. Am now selling good, stylish suits 15 per cent,
lower than any house in town. It looks ruinous, but time
flies, and I don’t propose to let the season fly away and leave
me with piles and piles of winter clothing on hand. Not if I
can help it. Overcoats are going the same way.
SHOES.
I have the best assortment of Mens’, Ladies’ and Children’s
Shoes in town, both in fine and low grades. Everything
down. Will sell a tip-top Shoe for $2.50 that has never sold
for less than $2.75 heretofore. A splendid Brogan Shoe
for $1.15. Every pair of Frank D. Weyldman’s fine Shoes
sold upon an absolute guarantee.
An attractive assortment of Hats, all shapes, shades, sizes
and prices.
I have the goods and are bound to sell them. Don’t forget
this when you make up your mind to buy. It means a great
deal.
GROCERIES.
Am selling Flour lower than anybody. For the present I
can quote different grades as follows: Good. $4.50 per bar
rel; Fine, $5.00; Better. $5.50; Best, $6.00. In fact, I have
everything in the Grocery line, and am selling at rock bot
tom prices.
I am not trying ro excite your curiosity, merely; am anx
ious to do you good. ^
lie that pondcreth these tacts will surely be profited. Try
me
