'ersotns wanting a Superior Piano Forte, would do witch better to call and select from a large assortment, than by dealing with Pedlars und agents ot' inferior makers, where they have no choice, and have often to pay higher prices for in ferior Instruments, than fine ones of superior makers can be bought for. Every Piano Forte sold by us is warranted in every respect, so the purchaser runs no risk what ever. Persons ordering from a distance from us can depend upon getting a GOOD ARTICLE, as we make it a point to keep goods of the best quality and such as we can recommend and warrant in every respect. Their STOCK OF MUSIC is very large, and they are constantly receiving al new pieces as they are published. GUITAR and VIJLI STRINGS of the the. best quality always on hand.

All-theingre ients of the SOUTHERN COMPOUND PER. IL1ZER are found in abundanee -in the South, nd only require the application of scientife nowledge to make us perfectly independent of ur enemies, even in this particular. Our intention is to sell our Planters an honest nd reliable Fertilizer, peculiarly adapted to or r wn soil, climate, and crops, and, as far as poss. le, shield them from the gross impositions ge requently palmed upon them by Northern me. ure manufacturers. Our Fertilizer contains all the elements nece ary for the food of plants, being composed of 'ULVERIZED NIGHT SOIL, POTASH, DIS. OLVED BONES, S'LPHURIC ACID, PLAS. ER and LIME. The manure thus formed, con. Lining a large per centuge of potash and other lkaline salts, will render it iculuable for cotto. nd will be found to influence the growth of a 1 ther crops suficiently-early in the season, though ot quite so promptly as Peruvian Guano. It will old out longer, and mature the seed perfectly, iving decidedly the best crops, and will show self in most instances superior to Guano or many ther of the most popular fertilizers.
