PoeticaI Rending.

Our people have been gratifed by the
public reading Of some delightful poetry by
Miss IElie Clay Reghie, from franklin,
Tern. This lady with some quite eXcep-
tionsl personal advantages has reoeiyod
that of culture and instruction from that
prince of elocutionistS and actors, Mr.. MUIR
dock. Her own qualifications are noble
presence, an expressive couptcnance, and a
voice quite exceptional in its range and
compass, capable Of every expression from
that OF tempestuous passion to that of eX-
Quistte psthos. These qualifications, culti-
waited b. the master hand We have mem
toned, could not fail 10 produce On artistic
Of the first class, and our people, those who
awaited themselves Of the opportunity, en-
ioyed an intellectual treat of the first order.
We trust she will meet with the appreciation
so justly due TO her talents wherever she
goes.

ABOUT "PERMANENCY', IN FER
TILFZERS.

Major Robert T.. Ragland, of Hal.
flax county, Va, has for many
years been acknowledged through
out the country as an authority OF
the first rank in connection with
the cultivation and preparation for
market of the tobacco crop. He
holds the following language in his
famous essay ON tobacco, and it will
be seen that the ANCHOR BRAND is
q permanent fertilizer:
eff your tobacco is fine, sound
and nicely handled, you'll nave the
satisfaction of getting at the least a
remunerative price for it, although
poor and nondescript stock may be
selling for less than the cost of pro-
duction. The world is now full of
low grades of tobacco. We must
plant less surface, manure heavier
and cultivate and manage better if
we would get better prices.
SIT is proper that 1 should de-
scribe more particularly the benefits
/ have derived from the use of the
fertilizer mentioned in the forego-
ing. / have used the Anchor Brand
Tobacco Fertilizer every year since
its manufacture from 1861. 1t has
always done well for me-better
than any other 1 ever used on to-
bacco, Peruvian Guano, or any
other of the well known brands,
when used in competition with it.
1t has never failed greatly to benefit
the tobacco crops to which it has
been applied and the wheat crops
following, but also to secure a never
falling stand of clover.
ga fertilizer that has ARRAYS
shown such marked results on all
three of these crops in succession,
from one application, proves its
high character, and that it is an
honestpreparation that planters may |
protitably use.
sat three cents per pound, the
planter can fertilize five hills for one |
cent. If our planters will decide |
to take these three chances at the |
Anchor Brand, they'll not regret it,
but will continue its use, and in the |
mode suggested.
GAS an improver of land worn |
down by exhaustive cultivation,
equals clover, where it can
be made to grow. The Anchor
Brand does this after supplying fer
material for two previous
crops, as has been demonstrated on
my farm for eleven years.
81 am great advocate for farm
made manures, but cannot possibly
make enough, and always supple
ment with good commercial fer
tilizer for tobacco, and / have, as
stated, always found the ANCHOR
10 be the best"

THE Res. Or. Palmer being on transient
visit I'm ClaFlzsyilIe last Wednesday gave
one OF his excellent diseourscs in the Pres
Byterian Church. His subject was the lat
tor portion of -. Lulle's Gospel and the
early chapter in the Acts ot the apostles
which give the account Of the Savior-s do
fngs during the period intervening between
AS resurrection and ascension. Ills leading
idea vas thar this portion Of the Redeemers

that Of constant l7enedictiOn. He only
snake to bless, and even his ascension was

GAINESVILLE Tobacco Market,
OFFICE OF THE CHRONICLE,

OFFICE OF THE CHRONICLE,l
GAINESVILLE, March Z, 1879. !
Tobacco is coming in rather more freely
than usual, and consequently the sales this
week were somewhat larger than hereto
fore. The offerings footed mp los hhds.,
which is the largest sale we have had this
season, but still very small sale compared
with those usual at this time Of the year.
The crop seems to be moving some sixty to
ninety days later than usual. Our market
showed even more animation this week
than last, and prices were &c to 75c higher.
Even under the present discouraging out
look, prices are higher-grade for grade
than they were at this time last year.

Is our notice of the College speaking last
week we made a misstatement which de-
mands correction. 1t appears that we were
misinformed when we STAYED that the two
young gentlemen from the Indian Nation
who addressed US were preparing for the
ministry they propose to adopt the law as
their profession. While we are on the sub
ject we viii also correct an important onlis-
sion. In that report nothing was said of an
| address which was perhaps the best COM
posed and evinced the most study of any
delivered that night. We mean that OF Mr..
Robinson. on "The Life and Character of
/ John Calvin" To account for this omission
we will say that we had written much
more elaborate criticism OF this speech than
any other, but in making that criticism we
had frankly dissented from some Of the po-
sitiOns taken in The address. on reading
this over with our colleagues it was agreed
that this part of the notice had better be
omitted for fear il should be understood as a
condemnation Of the essey, which would
have been "a most unwarrUnted interpreta-
I ton of our meaning. In this way, however,
the address came not 10 be noticed at all.
| Let us take this occasion as illustrating the
| effect OF that system of universal puffeTy
which in the newspaper press has almost
altogether usurped the place of criticism.
The result OF it is shat anything like discrim-
| ination in praise is looked upon as condcm-
nation. and even measured commendattop
Is SET down as an indirect depreciation
which .damns with faint praise" We wish
| il once for all to be understood that when
we critieiSe the very act Of doing SO recog-
nizes some merit in the thing criticised, for
yr-l,,ra there ar. no ideas there is nothing 20
criticisc. There is no class which would be
! rs much benefited by judicious aud friendly
/ criticism IS that ofyOung men IN the lateI
I Stages Of college education; but the plain
truth is that anything short of uperlativ5
( IaUdation is taken rs condemnation. 50 titai
we have 70 puf'or be silent.

To the People.

The land has begun to swarm again with
retail drummers. A retail shirt drummer
was in town last week selling shirts at
81 80 each by the half dozen. We sell as
good a shirt for $I.O0, for one or more.
This shirt is made of Wamsutta Domes-
tic, 1900 linen and 3-ply all-linen bosom,
and warranted to fit. The reason you pay
these prices to drummers is that they are
SO much cheaper than you bought them of
your home merchant some time since. Three
years ago this same shirt was sold by us
at $3.50 laundried, and we make the same
profit on them now as we did then. You
do not realize the shrinkage in values.
There has been the same depreciation in
nearly all kinds of goods, especially In
ready-made clothing. A friend was brag-
ging few days since that he had bought
a great bargain in coat. 1t was so per
cent cheaper than the last he bought from
us. We showed him better one for the
same money. He did not think of the
decline. We want you to recOllect that
from now hencefOrth and as long as wesen
goods we will always have the bottom
prices on all goods we keep. We will sell
and buy exclusively for cash, and can and
will have bottom prices.

The funeral obsequies were celebrated on
Monday of lady justly endeared to the
people of GAINESVILLE, especially such of
them as -ad, during their eaSly youth, re-
ceived the advantage OF her instruction and
Christian training.
Miss Mary GoOde Ward was born February
18th, 1916, at Lynchburg Va, where, from
her early youth, she was known as a pious
and consistent member of the Episcopal
Church. The present Bishop Wilmer, of
North Carolina, was her pastor in those
days, and, only two days before her DEATH a
letter was received from the venerable pre-
late giving testimony TO the lovelIness Of
her Christian character while yet girl.
About 1872 she removed 20 this county,
with two sisters, one Of whom is widely
known as the venerable widow of Fielding
Williams, Esq; another, long since deceased,
was the wife Of NJ. NJ. Kerr, Esq. On the
death Of Mr.. Williams Miss Mary opened
boarding-sehoOl for young ladies at White
hall, the beautiful residence OF her sister,
Mrs. Williams. Many of these pupils, as
well as two OF the other sex, NIessrs. George
and Charles Cashier, cherish her memory as
that Of n second mother, and might have
been seen joining tearfulIy in the solemn
services of last Monday.
Her death was sudden, though her sick
ness had been long and her suffering ex-
IRENE. Her Christian character was never
more beautifully illustrated than by the
serene fortitude with which she bore up
against trials which might have quelled the
stoutest spirit.
The funeral was largely attended, the SER
vices being conducted by the Rev. p. A.
Fits, who read with great solemnity the
touching funeral ritual of the Episcopal
Church. His address was worthy of that
ever-f.uitfHl theme for impressive cxhorta-
ton, the death of the righteous. The hymns
selected were those which had always been
her favorites during life-"Nearer, my God,
to Thee "Asleep in Jesus" and, at the
grave, "Cease, Troubled Soul" They were
beautifully by the choir, and the whole
of the musical portion of the service was
very creditable 10 the taste and skill of Prof.
MeiningeT.
The virtues and Christian graces which 50
long adorned her life survive her death in
the Christian characters of many now liv-
Ing who affectionateIy attribute all that is
best in them to her early religious training.
