Formulas for Fertilizers.

Formulas for fertilizers for par
ticular crops are based upon the
principle Of successful agriculture,
that the soil must be supplied with
the plant-food that the plants take
from it, or it cannot be produce
crops. They differ in respect to
the proportions of the several lngre-
dents which they assume, CD that
the plant takes from the atmos-
rhere, (2) that the soil d contrl-
butte from its own stores or from
what it gathers from the air, and
(3) that must consequently be sup
piled IN the fertilizer. For instance,
a crop of fifty bushels of corn with
the stalks would take from the soil
on the aypraOp.

we have como 10 the conclu-
sion that we will continue to
sell at cost our large stock of
clothing, bed blankets, fannels,
ladies dress goods, and hats.
These with our standard screw
boots and shoes, every pair war
ranted, gents piece goods, hard
ware, gueensware, tinware and
groceries, makes ours the most
attractive stock in the town TO
make selections from. So roll
in with your barter, greenbacks,
your demonetized silver, and

diator and any other who would
dare sully the good name of
your proud old State, and ruin
the credit of your people at

BloM Your Own Horn!

For nobody else will blow for
you; besides, our lean, gaunt,
hungry looking editors have got
to be supported, and some one
has got to be humbugged.
LUMPKIN wants to do his part
of it in the next sixty days.
If you don't believe it, call and
price his handmade boots,
clothing, shawls, jeans, hats,
blankets, over-shoes, at prices
lower than ever before offered
in this market. They have got
to be sold, and at prices that
will humbug somebody; if its
Lumpkin alone. You will lose
a bargain if you don't come
soon. The goods will be sold
ont to make room for a spring
stock. Don't forget that Lump
kin will sell you Furniture
cheaper than any one. Some
will say this is big blowing;
but you come to the blowing.
Lumpkin says it won't cost you
anything, and he writes this of
his own kno Wedge, too.
