Pleasure is taken in calling the
attention of the farming and plant

Sparta, Ga., the inventor, has re
cently had bis “ Improved Turning

State, county and plantation rights

are penned, we have before us a
large number of certificates from
many of the prominent farmers of
Warren, Hancock, Elbert, Wilkes
and McDuffie counties, as well ns
some from Spartanburg, S. C., tes
tifying tothe value ofMr. Wixon’s

Tiie Yellow Fever still rages—

ness, in many, if not all the infected
districts. There appears no hope
for abatement this side of a good
frost in the localities visited by
the disease.
IN BEHAEWOF THE YELLOW FE.
VER SUFFERERS *
Attention is invited to the pro
ceedings of the meeting held at
Jefferson, on the night of the 9th
inst., and the “appeal” appended
thereto. It appears almost unne
cessary to urge our people as to
this cause. Other sections—in
fact the whole country, is aiding to
a greater or less extent, the towns
and cities now suffering under
this dire calamity. The first
movement in the matter, so far as
Harmony Grove is concerned, was
inaugurated on Sunday last, at the
Methodist church, at the sugges
tion of Rev. C. C. Carv, at which
time and place a goodly amount
was contributed in cash and sub
scriptions. But this is not a “drop
in the bucket” of what the people
of the town and surrounding coun
try ought to do. To borrow Bro.
Cary’s remark, “ a man has only
to look over the daily papers to
get an idea of the terrible suffering
which is now entailed on the
afflicted people of those towns and
cities visited by the horrible
scourge.” Appeals arc coming
up from every side for aid in the
way of money, delicacies for iho
sick, and food and clothing for
those who have to wait upon the
dead and dying, and others who
are naturally thrown out of business
and employment by the stagnation
that environs the affected dis
tricts. Our courteous Post Mas
ter will receive and forward any.
thing that may be contributed to
this cause. Let all help!

EY THE KING OF THE CARNIVAL.
A commission, “ signed, Sealed
and delivered” by Ilis Majesty,
King Rex, was received by the
Editor of the Progress on Monday
evening last. By this “Ukase’,
we are cominisioned with the rank,
state and title of “Keeper of the
Royal Preserves, from the first day
of Sept. 1878.” That suits us, and
as we presume, every “ high” com
missioned oflicer is allowed a
number of aids-de-camp, we expect
to receive applications and dispose
of a number of positions on our
“ staff,” at an early day. There
fore, young ladies and young gen
tlemen who understand “keeping
preserves,” will please makeap-.
plication at once. And as wc
have also been notified to he and
appear at Atlanta on the 25th of
October, the sth day of the meet
ing of the North Georgia Stock
and Fair Association, there to do
such duty as m y ho required
by Ilis Royal Highness, like
a good aud lawful subject, all
subordinates will please take notice
and govern themselves according
ly. Bear in mind the duty as
signed—“ Keeper of the Royal
Preserves” —and in order to a full
enjoyment of the luxury thus afford
ed, it will not he amiss to have
plenty of biscuit and butter along;
it always goes well with “pre
serves.” With many thanks to
His Majesty, we shall try to he on
hand, “armed and equipped accor
ding to law.”
The Steam Gins of Messrs.
Chandler & Powers, are now doing
their level best. By request of
Mr. Powers, wc took a look through
his rooms yesterday afternoon,
and was pleased to note the faeili
ty with which he runs “things
through.” No need of waiting
now, as two first-class gins are
kept in constant operation. A hale
can be ginned and packed in nearly
every 40 minutes of the day, if
necessary. See their advertise
