By* the application of 400 lbs. of cotton seed meal, 200 lbs. 1 of Eutuw acid, and 200 lbs. of Eutaw guano, an increase of 1608 lbs of seed cotton was made on the three acres, 610 oa realizing ;i prune ?>i Greatest yield of lint on five acres was raised by "VV.

I gave second application of guano about the first of June. My yield, 3f22 lbs. of lint, which was sold for $279.53, added to the value of 182 bushels of seed makes a total of $300.83, less the expense of fertilizing, cultivating and picking, leaves a profit of $184-8:3.

Why, that is the old and long established firm of D. L1UDIKOALE, almost as well known as Santa Clause himself, it is almost useless to enumerate what is in here. You can buy groceries, fruit?. confectionarie.*, crockery, hardware, dry goods, clothing, fancy goods, notions, hats, csps, and all you want to wear. This firm has distributed a large number of ladies' wraps thin season, and still have a large stock on hand, and moreover as you will all soon need to buy Xmas presents for your friend*, don't forget "old reliable's" stock of books. As we pass along the street our attention is attracted by a well stocked and busy store. We see the sign, NEW YOKK UACKKT STORE, aiid on entering we are pleasantly greeted by the proprietor, Mr. II. Landecker, who takes pleasure in showing all visitors through his establishment. Here you need have no trouble in selrcting a present for your " - fi-nm g If.l'jp menu?, as tuu w?*u tuuu^ stock of "almost everything except groceries. Mr. Landecker l as been very succcesfnl in building up a good trade, cud says the sccret of his success lies in buyiug ami sellhig for cash and keeping a full line of goods that ptople ?rant, and paying the same attention to a purchaser of a small articles^rt*^ dees to one of a larga one^^^^^^ j But we must we Md Ue"""'and coming out U1" ?^tfnace northward.

Bye the i way, White sell* the Flor de Thee f cigar, which they say is very good, ? but he forget to let us sample them. We are getting hungry and thirsty ab.iut now, and are reminded that F. W.

This firm is one of the Boro's oldest business concerns, and ' can furnish \ou with anything yon r want, except groceries.

Our next visit is to the neat and well ' kept fancy grocery store of MRS. II. 31. M'CAKLKY. Here you will find a new line of candies, fruits, canned goods, and also staple groceries. Mrs. McCarley has 011 lale canned goods from the White Oak Canning Factory, and we think home industries ought to be patronized. But we hasten 011 northward; the snow is beginning to fall, and we look about for a sleigh. We stop at the WINXSBOKO WA(iO.V CO , but don't find anr sleighs, but we can get a good lap robe to help keep u* warm, and can get a Jinc single or double buggy. harness of anr kind, whips and *very thing necessary for a j first class turnout on wheels; also a nice line of hardware, cutlery, etc. If we owned a buggy or wagon and it needed repairing we would certainly take it to Matthews', as he does lirstclass work at reasonable prices. By the way, Matthews has a well stocked grocery store in the building north of J. F. ilcMaster & Co ?s store, where vou can get goods cheap. \On the northpast corner of Congress anj^olle?re street we find the well stockci^tm'e of ti. llfcM-VUIW, where you canS*?d goods of all kinds in great profusions'^* and crackers, apples, oranges and rv"i8. citron, currants and raisins, a>*^ everything necessary to make a pluY}1 pudding, without which a Christina^ dinner is not complete.

Desportes says lie lias more goods thJ^J ko lias money and wants to make an j , exchange. Mackerel hare been scarce ' and high for several years, but Ulysee ! has some good and cheap. "We were [about to forget the fact that J. O.

And after you buy a cook stove enliven vour dining room or parlor by putting in a good heating store. He has them in great variety, I saw also a full line of tinware and almost every utensil needed in the modern kctchin. And now our visit to this town is nearly over, but we must not forget the large and commodious grocery and hardware store of j. r. ?fc <:<>.
