Rev " IT Strickland in n letter to the

Rev. ". II. Strickland, in letter to the
Baptist Courier, gives the following nforma-
tion about the manufacture Of commercial
fertilizers, while writing about Port Royal,
which we reprint for the edifcation of the
general public: "We saw in the warehouse
on the wharf 10000 tons guano. 1t had
been ground up in Dublin from the bone
purchased at Charleston or Bull River, and
brought back to be sold in the United States.
Thus it had crossed the ocean twice. Capt.
McFall called our attention to the old
fashioned honesty of these guano dealers.
The phosphate all lay in one pile. 1t will
be sacked, branded as of dozen different
kinds and qualities, with different analy-
sis stamped on each, protesting to have been
made in Baltimore at the 'Patapsco Phos-
phate Works. or at Norfolk or somewhere
else; and thus when merchant orders
'Whan's Raw Bone,' it is sacked out Of that
pile; and 'Etiwan' or Sea Fowl or John
Merriman,' &C., all from that same pile.
The agent of Pacific is eloquent over the
special elements in that fertilizer for cotton,
while the seller of 'Baugb and Burger is
sure, from actual experience, that his is best
suited to produce good lint &c. The hon
est old farmers, in August and September,
meet and eat peaches and melons, and walk
over their farms and discuss the relative
merits of their different fertilizers, and little
reck that all these different brands and
analyses came from one bank at Port Royal,
and was not manufactured in Baltimore or
Charleston, but Dublin"

Fair Play Correspondence.

1t is seldom have anything to write you
from this place, and I have none now, but
will send you word or two on things in
general.
The foremost thought among the people
in this community is naturally about farm
ing; but it can we'll be said that cotton
monopolizes more of the thought, time and
lands of the farmers than any other farm
product. This entire attention to one crop,
and especially to cotton, is very detrimental
to the true interests Of the farmer. Diver
si6ed crops are what we need and our
farmers must have them 10 be successful.
Last years acreage in cotton was larger
than that of the preceding year, and so will
this years acreage exceed last years.
am speaking now especially of this imme-
diate section, but still, I doubt not but that
it would hold good if applied to the whole
South. Corn, wheat, barley, oats and rye
all grow we'll here, and can be raised profit
ably, though, notwithstanding this fact, our
people buy their corn and flour from the
Northwest. They are making less effort
year by year to make home supplies of corn
and wheat. This years acreage Of wheat is
at least twenty-five per cent. less than last
years, and no doubt next fall the diminution
will be equally aS great as tins years has been
over the last. The oat crop here is generally
very small. Barley and rye you seldom ever
see. This may look bad, but nevertheless
you will, I think, find it to be true. Guano
IL extensively used here.
Some of our people are highly elated at
the passage of the stock or fence law for q
portion of this county, and there are some
pretty sour faces on the other side so the
fence" This latter class are not numerous.
Before three years pass over our heads op-
position to this law will have passed away,
and all persons will cry out with one voice,
1T is good" This law is very beneficial to
The State; and especially is it beneficial to
the lower section Of Oconee.
For our town I can say that, for sobriety,
morality and children, it compares favora-
bly, with any town in the State. Our mer-
chants are wide-awake and enterprising, and
we have large school, there being eighty
names on the register. 1t is more flourish
ing than for some time past.
The health of this community is very
good. The mumps, though, are on the
rampage and are attacking all ages and
classes of mankind. They are certainly
showing no partiality.
A number of our citizens have determined
to have the German Carp, and are preparing
for them and have made application for
them to the proper authorities.

New Story About General Grant.

It has just leaked out that while Gen.
eral Grant was travelling in Asia he ex-
pressed desire to get {. shot at a lion.
Not wishing to expose him to any dan
ger the natives secured stuffed lion,
set it up in jungle. and then took the
illustrious traveller out for q hunt.
When the beast was sighted the Gener-
al was all excitement, and crawling up
to favorable position began to blaze
away at the animal with no pcrceptiblc
effect. After firing about twenty shots
he began to get mad, and, taking off
bis coat, he settled down for regular
seige. Fearing his wrath when he dis
covered the sell, the attendants en-
deavored to induce him to give up tho
attempt to kill the beast, telling him
that it bore charmed life and that he
could not possibly injure it. He told
them to go to thunder. that he was af-
ter blood and was going to have it.
After vain fusilade of half an hour no
arose to his feet gnashing his teeth with
rage. threw his suspendcrs of his
shoulders. rolled up his sleeves and
grabbed his rifle by tho barrel. so no
could use it as club. The attendants
again begged him TO desist, bnt he po-
litely though fOrcibly informed them
that he would have that cuss or leave
his hOnored remains strewn promiscu-
ously all through that jungle. and with
wild cry of 'I'll fight it out on this
lion If it takes all summcr!" he rushed
upon the beast. and with one well-di-
rected blow he laid it over on its side.

How much our daily conversation

MARRYING in Chicago.
