ENPERIENCE in the Cse Of this GUANO
~ for the past six years in this State, for
Cotton and Corn, has so far established it's
character for excellence as to render COM
mcnt unnecessary.
In accordance with tho established policy OF
the Company, to furnish the best Concentrat-
ed Fertilizer at tho lowest cost to consumers,
this Guano is put into market this season at
the above reduced price, which the Company
is enabled to do by reason OF its large facili-
ties and the reduced cost Of manufacture.
The supplies put into market this season
are, rs heretofore, prepared under tho per-
sonal superintendent of DR.. st. Julien Rave
mel, Chemist of tho Company. at Charleston,
$. c.; hence planters may rest assured til at
it's quality and composition is precisely tho
same that hers t0tore sold.
AT tho present low price, every aero planted
can be fertiliZed with 200 pounds OF Gusno, at
q cost not exceeding the present value Of 80
pounds of cotton. while experience has shown
that under favorable condition of season and
cultivation, the crop is increased by tho ap-
plicaiion from two to three-fold tho natural
capacity Of tho soil; hence under no condition
could its application fail to compensate for
tho outlay. Apply to J. N. ROBSON.

who had "rnther speak than not" and
the girls who had big sisters ut boarding

at home afforded rare chances for plagia-
