FERTILIZER BULLETIN.

The Farmers Fertilizer Company of Car.
roll county is not a misnamed corporation.
1t is an organization for the benefit of the
Farmer and no one else; whatever profit NAV
occur in an economical administration of its
business, after payment of expenses, goes to
the purchaser of its goods. That is one of
the reasons why, after several years of trial,
it is able to say in 1891 that, Notwithstanding
the advance in prices of certain material,
unlike other firms, there will be
No Advance in Prices of Its
Goods.
A careful observation of the market will en-.

that is ANOTHER REASON why the Farm.

any house or firm in Carroll county, its goods

PATRIOTIC SERMON

Preached Last Evening by Rev. MIR.
Mason to Admiral Foote Post.
Washington's..bir was fittingly COM
memorated last evening in the First Bap-
fist church. There were present over $50
members of Admiral Foote post, who had
been invited to attend special service.
The decorations on the altar were e1-
ceedingly tasty and effective. From the
choir rail handsome silk flag had been
draped and at the top the word welcome
was made up of floral letters, underneath
being floral Grand Army badge, and sus-
pended below that the large letters, G. A
R. made up of white and blue flowers
The reading desk was also draped with
a large American flag, and other flags were
used with effect.
The sermon preached by Rev. Mr.. Mason
was of stirring and patriotic nature. The
speaker drew practical lessons from the
life and death of the late General Sher-
man. In all human history and achieve
ments, he said, there is underneath a di-
vine providence. He alluded to the fact
as pleasing coincidence that the first
