STAUNToN, VA. June 9th, 1879.
Messrs. Lynn g. Eyler.-Gents I bought fourteen
tons of Boykn GARNER & Cos "Home Fertilizer"
for myself and others; used eight tons myself under
wheat last FALL prepared as directed by the formula
AS far as 1 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 allthe disad-
vantages of unfavorabe seasons, &C., is looking as
well as when used much more expensive manufeS.
Yours truly.

STAUNToN, VA, June 2Sth, 1879
Messrs. Lynn & Eyler.-Gentlemen: My wheat has
now matured under which put the Home Fert
lzer," and am even more pleased with its results
than when I wrote you before. I think 1t quite
equal to any fertilizer ever used, though some
other brands cost me $40 per ton and more.
Yours truly,
EAsToN, Md, August 10th, 1879.
R. j. Trippe ESQ., Dear Sir: Last Fall used on
my wheat two tons OF the Home Fertilizer. sofa
by you at cost OF $4.25 per ton; also used Pure
Dissolved Bone and Acid Phosphate in the same
field one ar cost of 1874 co. and the other at $3o per
ton. The result was (fronl accurate count and meas
urement) my wheat yielded 9H bushels for one
where the Acid Phosphate was used; ll% bushels
for one where the Bone was used ana Wneie l
used your fertilizer received l3N for one all the
same quality of land and same number OF pounds
per acre. am satisfied that if had used your Ter
tilizer on all my wheat, would have raised Two
hundred bushels more and at less than nall Inc
cost. THUS. w. ReA.

1t has been our fortune to differ with
Judge Harris in many things connected
with his official career. but never on the
point that he was one of the most valuable
representatives to his constituency that
ever entered the halls of congress. HIS
position IN the National Democratic party
has never been uncertain, and he has fill
ed important positions in Democratic
congress that have given his name nation
al reputation. In his speech at the sere-
made after the nomination was made
Thursday night, his old time Democracy
won enthusiastic applause. He said what
seems to he unqnestioned, that the Re
adiusters are not responsible for the
split in the party, which is the work OF
their leaders, and that with their leaders
no compromise need be expected. He ex-
posed the fallacy of the pretence that the
Independent ticket party is the Demo-
cratic party-a pretence, by-the-bye, which
is now pretty generally abandoned-and
appealed in earnest terms to all Demo
Gratis, whether Readjusters Or Funders, te
stand by the regular Democratic ticket
and let State matters go over until the
proper time came to consider them. Ht
was loudly cheered, as he deserved to be

ITS body, but it gave no sign OF life.

former angry activity. Subsequently
ii savage dog, held in leash by its
owner, was brought in. and, at Buni's
command, let loose upon him. As it
was rushing toward HIM, bristIing with
fury, he raised his hand, and in sec

IMPROVING BUSINESS PHoSPECTs OF
THE SoUTu.-Ihe South Is advancing
rapidly. Now that the whites have tn
make their own living, they see and
feel the necessity of having proper i'm
plements to cultivate and improve
their country; railroads and canals, TO
facilitate all commercial transactions;
mills and factories. tn manufacture all
they can ut home; schools and colleges,
that they eau educate tleir children,
which will assist them in developing
all their resources Of industry. These
are all coming, and will only take time
to he brnnght to perfection. The
Snuth should excel in successful agri-
eHltHrisfs. because they can work the
year round OF their farms. and stock
does not need the care or shelter that
it. has to- have in the North. In the
central and southern localities they
can raise two crops IL year-one as u
green crop to enrich the soil. Success
awaits the immigrant in proportion to
bis indus,ria aud economical habits.
1t was formerly an opinion that the
climate was bar to any extensive

white labor is increasing in the rural
districts every year, white negro labor
is decreasing. AS the negroes like to
be together they prefer working in
towns and vilIngeS; conseq rrntly the
towns aud villages. are overstoclled
with negro labor, and the laboring
classes ct the whites are docking to
