On Ajrricnltnre.
The committee, in their report, con
gratulated the farmers of Georgia on
their improved condition as regards
farm supplies, and the general determi
nation to return to a more healthy and
wise policy in their farm economy. It
is believed that enough grain, if uni
formly distributed, has been produced
to supply the farmer of the State for the
next year. While we are not free from
the effects of the general financial de
pression, we feel confident that Georgia,
as a State, is on the true line of pro
gress and improvement, and stands at
the head of her sisters in these respects.
We beg leu7e to urge upon members of
the Order atteution to the subject of
stock raising aud diversified agriculture
generally.
A Strong Endorse in on I.
Tbe following report was unanimous
ly adopted :
Whereas, Georgia, pre-eminently an
agricultural State, and whereas, Gover
nor James M. Smith had the wisdom
and statesmanship to recommend in ac
cordance with the wishes of the State
Agricultural Society expressed in its
conventions aud which the State Grange
expressed iu its sessions, the establish
ment of a department of agriculture and
a geological survey of the State, and the
Legislature tbe sagacity to enact tbe
same; aud whereas both the department
and the survey have accomplished all
that could be reasonably expected since
the time of their inauguration, and
promise still greater good for the State
in the future; aud whereas, oertain per
sons, under honest but mistaken ideas
of economy, desire the abolition of the
one and the discontinuance of the other;
therefore,
Resolved, That as representatives of
the farmers of Georgia, who pay the
great bulk of the State taxes, we do
most solemnly depreoate and condemu
such suicidal policy as, under the plausi
ble pretense of retrenchment and econo
my, would strike at the foundation of
the most important measures of reform
ever inaugurated in our otate for the
promotion of her agricultural interests
aud the development of her other mate
rial interests.
Resolved, That we call upon all true
citizens of Georgia, who have her real
interests at heart, whether agricultural
or not, whether officials or private oiti
zens, if the friends of true progress aud
development, to frown such insidious
efforts of economy and retrenchment, a
fatal blow at the great productive inter
ests of the State.
Resolved, That as agriculturalists we
honor Governor J. M. Smith for his
manly and statesman-like advocacy and
support of these instrumentalities for
the advancement of our people and the
State, and call upon the Governor elec ,
General A. H. Colquitt, as the exponent
of the great agricultural sentiment of
the State, to speak with no uncertain
sound for progress and development of
all the industries and resources of
Georgia.
Ou Co-Operation.
The Committee report : It is not
deemed necessary to attempt anything
more than a general endorsement of the
00-operative movement and to urge a
careful study and investigation of the 1
principles of co-operation and its power
in accomplishing good. We recom
mend a careful investigation of the
Rochdale system of co operation aud its
adoption, whenever practicable, as the
best solutiou of buying and selling.
Adopted.
Hirer! Trade and Immigration.
The Committee on this subject re
port :
Whereas, direct trade with Europe
has been a cherished policy with the
people of the South and advocated for
half a century by her statesmen, aud tbe
introduction of an intelligent class of
immigrants in the light of the history
of all of the Amerioan States especially
must be regarded as the aid and promot
er of direct trade—the key to our finan
cial independence and agricnltnral pros
perity.
Resolved, That as representatives of
aud part ourselves ot that great body of
men most oppressed by financial depen
dence and benefitted' by commercial
freedom, it becomes our first duty to
enoourage by every legitimate means for
these most important objects.
Resolved, That to this end it is highly
essential that a line of steamships be
tween the sea ports of Georgia and Eu
rope be established at as early a day as
possible, that the interest of the State
and of the people demand this, and as
individual enterprises has hitherto
proved inadequate, that we deem it the
best policy for the State to give such aid
as will secure this object, provided the
amount required does not exceed 8100,-
000.
Resolved, That we earnestly reoom
mend to bis Excellency the Governor,
that he bring this matter to the atten
tion of the Legislaatare, and urge upon
that body the adoption of such measures
as will secure its speedy accomplish
ment, ,
Resolved, That we have heard with
pleasure the plan for the establishment
of such a line of steamers between Sa
vannah and Liverpool, proposed to the
Governor by J. C. Gardiner, on the part
of certain parties in Eog’and, and that
it meets onr hearty approval.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the Governor, to the
President of the Senate and Speaker of
the House, with a request to lay them
before their respective Houses at the ap
proaching seasiou.
On Fertilizers.
To the question “will commercial fer
tilizers at the present prices pay,” the
committee say: The margin of profits on
the use of fertilizers is so small that nn
less judicious preparation aud cultiva
tion of the soil be h_d farmers had better
not use them.
The committee answer the question
“Gan a cheap compost be had” by say-
ing: Yet. The body of compost heaps
exists ou all farms, in stable and barn
yard manures, cotton seed, Ac. Phos
phate should be used to decompose the
body. All acid phosphates are good.
Their relative value depends on their
solubility and the per cent, of phospho
ric acid contained.
The officers elect were duly installed.
An experienced meeting was held last
nigbt. Tbe Grange adjourned until
next December, the place of meeting be
ing left t-o tbe Executive Committee.

THE SHIVERING VICTIMS
Of fever and agne, who freeze to-day
to burn to-morrow, might have been ex
empted from their present trials had
they availed themselves in time of that
safeguard against all malarious diseases,
Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters. Bnt if it
is too late for prevention, it is not too
late for cure. A single bottle of this ir
resistible herbal toDic will stop the par
oxysms, and a brief course of it will
restore tbe patient to vigorous health.
The prudent and thoughtful, however,
who would rather forestall disease than
wait for its assaults, will resort to this
sure defense against intermittent and
remittent fevers at the commencement
of the season when they prevail. Now
is the time to forearm the system against
fever and ague, bilious complaints and
dyspepsia—diseases which are often en
gendered and always aggravated, by the
chills and damps of Winter and early
Spring. dec9-d6&wl

able remedy to me.”
Governor James M. Smith, of Geor
gia, says : “I shall always use it with
perfect confidence, and recommend it to
the public as a reaiedy which will afford
that satisfaction experienced by me aud
mine. It excels everything for conghs,
colds and obstinate lung affections.”
Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, says:
“He finds the Globe Flower Cough
Syrup a most excellent remedy.”
Such endorsement by our great and
good men deserves the attention of the
afflicted. Those suffering from cough,
colds and lung affections should use the
Globe Flower Cough Syrup. It will
positively cure consumption.

Weekly Review of Auensta Market.
Augusta, Ga., Friday Afternoon,l
December 15, 1876. (
Genera) Remark*.
This has beeu another busy week in all
branches of trade. The city has been crowd
ed with country people and large sales have
been made both iu a wholesale and retail way.
One retail grocery house alone took in fifteen
hundred dollars in cash last Thursday. The
streets were filled with wagons Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Several merchants in
formed ns that there were mors people on the
streets aad more business done during the last j
four dayß than for any corresponding period
since the war. Everybody seems to be in good
spirits and hopeful of the future. Money is
plentiful and can be procured on good terms
on approved commercial paper at short dates,
say thirty, sixty or ninety days. Securities are
somewhat doll and there has been very little
demand tor any stocks or bonds.
Bacon has declined and we now quote clear
rib sides at 10. The stock is sufficient to sup
ply the demand. There is no change in grain
or other produce.
There hae been considerable activity in the
cotten trade daring the week.
Below will be foand a foil resume of the
week’s business:

MASON & HAMLIN
Cabinet Organs
Have Been Unanimously Assigned the
* First Rank
the SEVERAL REQUISITES”
Of such instruments, at the
U. M. Centennial, 1870
And are the only organs assigned this rank. Their
superiority is thus declared, not in one or two re
spects only, but in all the important qualities of an
organ: A Medal and Diploma have also been award
ed them, bnt medals of equal value were awarded
all articles deemed worthy of recognition, so that
many makers can advertise “first medals” or “high
est awards.”
Comparative rank in excellence has been deter
mined by the Judges’s Reports alone, in which the
MASON A HAMLIN ORGAN 8 are unanimously as
signed “the FIRST BANK in the several requisites”
of such instruments, and are the only ones assigned
thin Mir. See Judges’ Reports. This result was
nbt unexpected, for these organs have uniformly
Jaken highest awards in such competitions, there
being less than six exceptions in hundreds of com
parisons. They were awarded first msdals and high
est honors in Paris 1867, Vienna 1873, Santiago 1875,
Philadelphit 1876; having thus been awarded high
est honors at every Wor d’s Exhibition at which they
liave competed, and being the only American organs
which ever obtained any award in Europe.
NEW STYLES, witn improvements exhibited at
the CENTENNIAL; elegant new cases in great va
riety. Prices very lowest consistent with the best
material and workmanship. Organs sold for cash
or installment*, or rented until rent pays. Eveiy

DR. GILDEmiVER PILLS.
ryour head achea, take two or three pills
on going to bed.
If your liver is not acting properly, and you
feel duU and drowsy, three pills at night will
clear the system of vitiated bile, and make yon
feel like anew person.
If yon have a pain in the side or back, it
probably arises from a torpid liver. Stir it to
action by taking a dose of these Lmtß Pills.
If your bowels are constipated, two pills at
bed time will set you atl right.
If your food dees not digest, take two or
three pills twice a week at bed time, until
three or four doses have been taken, and you
will find yourself entirely relieved of these
disagreeable symptoms.
If your completion is sallow and your eyes
discolored, a full dose of these pills will impart
a rosette hue to your cheeks, and five your
eye the brilliancy of perfect health.
*lf you have Croxa an Fnn, take three of
the Liver Pills at bed time, after the ohill has
passed off.lf they should notoperate thorough
ly before breakfast, take one mo e pill. Dur
ing the day, take about 16 grains of quinine,
in doses ot 5 grains each, rt intervals of two
hours. Repeat the quinine for two or three
days. About the sixth night, take another
dose of the pills, and on ths seventh day take
15 grains of quinine as before.
By fallowing this treatment carefully, no
one need suffer from this distressing com
plaint.
In any and all diseases where a cathartic
medicine is required, these Pills will be found
the safest and beat remedy before the pub
