WHANN'S


XNTE again offer to the people of Augusta and
wv adjoining Counties this GREAT FER
TILIZER for all crops, and would be entirely
unwilling to recommend to you any article, in
which we have not IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE.
We have made careful inquiry, and fully be-
lieve this is the best Fertilizer offered to your
atpon the Soil aoh the most rigorous action upon
the groaoing plant that has been most satisfac-
torily TESTED BY YEARS OF TRIAL, with
standard of quality that's not only guaranteed,
but which is now higher than before; and that
it is in short, all its propretors claim for it. The
ingredients of WHANN'S RAW BONE SU-
PER-PHOSPHATE are Raw Bone, Guano,
Sulphuric Acid Potash and Soda all subjected
to thorough chemical analysis before they are
purchased. No inert substances are used. The
Phosphate is WARRANTED FREE FROM ADUL-
ITERATION, and is offered to Farmers as a thor
oughly reliable article honestly prepared, and
exceled by no other manure.
During the past season, the reports from all
sections of the country regarding the experience
of farmers with Whann's Phosphate, have been
of the most satisfactory kind On Wheat Oats,
Corn, Potatoes, and, in fact, on every crop with
which it has been used, testimonials from farmers
assert that it has more than fulfilled their expec-
tations. Worn-out lands have, by its use, become
productive Used alongside of Peruvian guano,
| barn-yard manure and other phosphates, it has
almost invariably excelled them all.
This Fertilizer has been successfully and salts
factorily tested on SPRING CROPS--especially
on Oats and Corn. By calling and exam
| ing circulars and testimonials, you viii see at
once that it will be to your interest to TRY 1T.
is We give few testimonials showing the
high appreciation the farmers of this county have
for the worth of this valuable and reliable phos-
phate:
We, the undersigned, used Whann's Raw
Bone Super Phosphate on our Wheat crop last
year and experienced a NUMBER ONE YIELD from
| its effects. We have used it again this year in
LARGER QUANTITIES. and our present prospects
are fatterng We believe it to be equal if not
superior, to any Fertilizer We have seen.
1t is an elegant stimulant for grass.

mg> We could give any number of Certificates
and references, but deem it unnecessary, and will
| only add that we sold last year-foa Cash-ONE
HUNDRED AND TEN TONS; and if we
could have extended the time to four and twelve
months, as other fertilizers in the market were,
| we could have sold two hundred tons, if not dou-
bled the amount sold j; and we have not had one
person who used it to say, that he has not splen-
did prospect for fine crop from it.

a RIVER MYSTERY.


Body Found With the Throat Cut From Ear
10 Ear.
Some excitement was created yesterday by the
denizens OF Main street and vicinity near the river
upon the circulation OF the report that John Mon
roe boatman, while pulling his boat out near the
foot Of that street had found floating IN the river the
body Of man with his throat cut from ear 10 ear.
Investigation OF the proved the truth thereoI
and quite large throng Of people gathered about
the place where the body, which was Iar advanceu
In decomposition, was mOOred TO the wharf WINE
awaiting Its removal to the dead house. Deceased
was about thrty-fve years Of age and was nve ieet
eight inches In height had black hair and long,
black chin whisker. He had on pair OF blue nannei
drawers, blue stockings o white cotton and wooden
shirt, leather belt about his waist and black
silk neck handkerchief. Among the theories mooted
as the cause Of his death was one which certainly
has q semblance Of probability in 1t. That the de-
ceased was some b0atman or other who had sprung
from his bunk In the night to resist river thieves
who had summary disposed Of him by cutting MS
throat and then throwing him overheard. Anotner
one was that he had been murdered for his clothing
and money. and his body disposed OF by throwing It
into the water 1t is curious that there was none
other than underclothlng upon the body with the
exception OF the inevitable leather belt and hand-
kerchief which sailors are often won't TO wear
weather dressed undressed. The Coroner Will
hold an inquest to-day over the remains.
