STAUNTON, VA, June 9Th, 1879.
Messrs. Lynn & Eyler.-Gents: bought fourteen
tons of Boykin, Garner & Co.'S "HOme Fertilizer
for myself and others used eight tons myself under
wheat last FALL prepared as directed by the formula
As far as can judge at present, it has done very
WELL so well that do not intend to use any more
high priced fertilizers. My wheat with all the dsad
vantages of unfavOrable seasons, &c., is looking as
well as when used much more expensive manureS.
Yours truly.
W. Fl. BAILEY.
STAUNTON, VA, June 28th, 1879.
Messrs Lynn & Eyler.-Gentlemen: My wheat has
now matured, under which 1 put the Home Ferti-
lzer," and am even more pleased with its results
than when 1 wrote you before. think it quite
equal to any fertilizer ever used, though some
other brands cost me $40 per ton and more.
Yours truly,
W. H. BAILEY.
EAsToN, Nd, August 10th, 1879.
R. J. Trippe, Esq.-Dear Sir: Last Fall I used on
my wheat. two tons of the "Home Fertilizer" sold
by you, at cost of $1425 per ton; also used Pure
Dissolved Bone and Acid Phosphate in the same
field one cost OF 100. and the other at $50 per
urement) my wheat yielded 91a bushels for one
where the Acid Phosphate was used; 1l14 bushels
for one where the Bone was used; and where
used your fertilizer received 13H for one, all the
same quality of land and same number OF pounds
per acre. am satisfied that If had used your fer
tilizer on all my wheat, would have raised two
hundred bushels more and at less than half the
cost THOS w. REA.

Hanger at their convention to put Allen

the Funders had defeated him with a faro

cause he thought they were weak and it
was only then that the Funders took him
up again and put him forward as candi-
date. In Petersburg the Funders had put
colored man on the police in place of a
one armed soldier who they turned out be-
cause he was a Readjuster. They had
done anything to win, even to following
Ross Hamilton as leader. (Applause:)

HORSESHOE OVER THE DOOR.

Mrs. Abner Herbine, of Berks county,
recently celebrated her birthday by giving
an enjoyable party, at which was our old
friend, Senator Dan. Ermentrout. Over
hanging the bsnque. table was a large
horseshoe made of candy. Senator Daniel
referred to the traditional emblem in the
following words:
Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, in
the distant land of Norsmen, before they
had come down and overrun all Europe, it
WAS regarded as a charm against the spell
of witchcraft; it was belief that had been
perpetuated for ages that when people
wished to keep away harm from cattle the
horseshoe was hang over the stable door,
and from the house, it was hung over the
house door. 1t was hung up to bring "good
luck" It's deeper meaning was that people
believed in power above and beyond them;
that, although for generations men had been
arguing against this belief in the supernat
i, against the existence Of something
above us and hereafter, yet, despite it all,
if we would to-day go into the home of the
most refined in the land, we would fnd the
| old horseshoe in FURNISHED steel or bright
silver, or shining gold, illuminated some-
times with beautiful flowers, sometimes with
the German word "Gulck" engraved on il,
hanging over the door, on the mautelpiece,
or connected with some useful ornament, or
shaped in the most costly jewelry What
does it mean? 1t means that the highest
civilization of the age is paying the
same silent homage to the supernatural that
the uncultured heather did in the far back
time, This belief was an element of hui
man strength and went far to nerve our
hardy ancestors for the privstions, dangers
and tolls, whose rpened fruits We see in the
comforts around US on every hand, and in
the happiness of The present occasion. They
believed in something of which the horse.
shoe was symbol; in power above them
able and willing to protect, and thus they
made real progress. So long as we have the
same belief, so long will society stick to,
gether and make genuine progress. Wher
we depart from this belief society will lapse
into bsrbsrism,"

No More Hard Times.

If you will stop spending so much on fine
clothes, rich food and style, buy good
healthy food, cheaper and better clothing;
get more and real substantial things of life
every way, and especially stop the foolish
habit of employing expensive quack doctors
or using so much of the vile humbug medi-
cine that does you only harm, but put your
trust in that simple, pure remedy, Hop
Bitters; that cures always at tritiing cost
and you will see good times and have good
health. See another column.
