TIIE CHEAPEST, SIMPLEST AND BEST LAND PULVERIZER NOW IX USE. Patented, .Jane, 1878. Pleasure is taken in calling the attention of the farming and plant ing public generally, to the above improved implement for their espe cial use. Mr. Robert Wixon, of Sparta, Ga., the inventor, has re cently had bis “ Improved Turning I J low” patented, and is now offering State, county and plantation rights at prices to suit the stringency of the times. As this paragraph 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 plow, for the purposes intended, and wo are informed that he will he in this section in a few days for the purpose of disposing of “rights” as above mentioned.

Tiie Yellow Fever still rages— and that with increased fearful 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! THE GREAT MEDICAL NOVELTY DR. rEMHERTON’s TRIPLEX LIVER TILLS.

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.

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.
