We would call the attention of our read
ers,who ARE farmers, to the liberal terms
upon which Mr.. P. Z. McCully offers to
furnish the guano which has been used with
such good success, and has just been intro
duced into this State 1t is worth the atten-
ton of those who are engaged in agriculture,
and persons who have not made their
arrangements for fertilizers would do well
to consult Mr.. McCully.
The following is the list Of officers installed
to serve Shutdown Grange, No. 141, for the
present year: w. s. Pickens, Worthy Mas
ter; j. Jamison, Overseer; J. P. Glenn,
Lecturer; ]. c. Boggs, Chaplain J. P.
Smith, Assistant Steward; T. n. Russell,
Secretary; B. B. Smith, Gate Keeper; Mrs.
J. P. Smith, Pomona; Miss M. Jamison,
Ceres; Miss 81. A. Smith, Flora; Miss Sallis
Welborn, Lady Assistant Steward. The
Steward and Treasurer elect were not pres
ent at installation.
We would call attention to the advertise
ment of Capt. ". s. Sharpe, which appears
elsewhere. The fertilizers advertized by him
are standard, and have been used by hume
rous farmers in this County with abundant
success. The use of fertilizers on our lands
is absolutely necessary to secure good yields
from our crops, and if farmers do not make
their own fertilizers inabundance the proper
use Of commercial phosphates will undoubt-
edly:pro1e profitable. Capt Sharpe will be
pleased to give any information as to terms,
DC, which may be desired.
As our senior, editor is absent this week,
We take Slis opportunity to republish the
sketch of his life and services, which ap-
peared in our enterprising and interesting
contemporary, the Abbeyille Medium, few
weeks since. There is an inaccuracy in it
as to the length of time Capt. Hoyt was
absent from the army. he was not off
longer than twenty or thirty days from the
effects of any wound until he was disabled,
but was detained at home for about six
months in 1868 by an attack OF small po1.
He was, however, always fortunate, or un-
fortunate enough to be present when there
was any fighting to be done. The sketch is
vol written, and interesting to his friends
and acquaintance.
We learn from the Neps and Courier that
an unfortunate accident occurred to our
young friend Christie Orr, son of the late
Hon. James L. Orr, on Saturday last. He
