STATE AND GENERAL NEWS.
Washington County is situated in latitude
305 north, and longitude M9 west, TI10
Bi'uzrw liver forms its eastern and the Yegua
creek its northern boundary. The oountycon-
tains an area of about *><Ki *«xX) acres of'land,
well timbered and watered; the soil is of ex-1
cellent quality, well adapted to the cultivation
of cotton, corn, wheat, .oats, barley, sweet
and Irish potatoes, sugarcane, sorghum, etc.
All kinds ot fruits are successfully grown.
There are in the vicinity of Hrenham two large
Nurseries, of established reputation, supply-
ing a large portion of the State with pouch,
plum, pear and apple stocks in all their va-
rieties. The native granges are excellent;
cattle are kept in tine condition upon pastures
during the entire year; sheep are extensively
raised and require but li'tlv corn.
The lands bordering upon the streams are
heavily timbered, but arc easily brought into
cultivation; large bodies of prairie laud lie
between the skirts of timber, which suimJv
flier and fencing within easy distances.
Wheat, oats, barley,and rye are sown in the
fall for winter pasture; corn is planted from
the 10th of February to the 10th of Mal ch, and
can be housed at any time alter the lirst of
September, but it is pit en permitted to stand
iu the Held until November or December.—
Cotton is generally planted between the 20th
of March and the 20th of April, but in ordin-
ary seasons may be planted as late as the loth
of June, and will make a good crop. Cotton
picking commences generally about the ilrst
of August and may be continued until Christ-
mas, immediately alter which preparation is
made for the succeeding crop. The average
yield <-'fconi, that has been properlv cultivat-
ed, is forty bushels per acre, and its average
value is tidy cents per bushel. Cotton land
will yield one bale per acre, the average price
of which is forty dollars per bale. One hand,
with team and proper tools, 'can cultivate ten
acres in corn and eight in cotton.
Farming lands of good quality can be pur-
chased at from two to fifty dollars per acre—
the price being dependent upon locality and
improvements—and can be rented at from
two-and-a-half to live dollars per acre, or
one-fourth of the cotton and one-third of all
other products. Land owners will furnish
tenants with land, houses, teams, farming
utensils, feed for team and seed for planting
for one-half of the crop, and will advance
provisions to be paid for out of the crop

Cheny Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lanes,

Cough, Bronohitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Among the great
discoveries of mod-
J ern science, few are
jfof more ml value
| to mankind than
/this effectual rem-
ledv for all diseases
of the Throat and
Lungs. A vast tri-
al of its virtues,
throughoutthis aim
other countries, haa
shown that it does
ture.y and effectually Control them. The test
tnnouy of our best citizens, of all classes, e?-
tablishes the fact, that ciiebry Pectoral
wiil and does relieve and cure the afflicting
disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous affec-
tions of the Pulmonary Orgnns yield to its
nower; and cases of Consumption, cured
bv this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
thev not proven beyond dispute. As a rem-
edy it is adequate, 0:1 whioh the public may
rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it
#aves unnumbered lives, and an amount of
suffering not to be computed. K challenges
♦rial a»d convinces tha most sceptical.
Every family should keep it on hana as a
protection against the early and uriperceived
attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which aro
easily met at first, but which become incura-
inc, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender
Jungs need this defence; ana it is unwise to
l>e without it. As a safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset the
Throat and Chest of childhood, Cherry
r ECTonal, is invaluable? for, by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
graves, and saved to the love and affection
centred on them. It acts speedily and surely
against ordinary colds, securing sound and
health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer
troublesome Influenza and painful Bron*
chilis, when they know how easily they can
TO cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious,
and "successful chemical investigation, no cost
or tfjil is spared in making every bottle iu fhe
u.most possible perfection. It may be confi-
dently relied upon as possessing ail the vir-
tues it has ever exhibi
producing cures as me

The health of this county is
good; no where in the county
local causes for sickness; the heat of the sum-
mer sun is tempered l>y the breezes from the
Gulf, laden with moisture. Germans and
immigrants from the Northern States can and
do labor in the Held without suffering from the
heat. A case of sunstroke has never been
known; while the knights are uniformly cool
and pleasant.
Many varieties of garden vegetables grow
during the entire year; Irish potatoes, Eng-
lish peas, etc.. are ready for the table by th<
lirst of April; tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., are
abuudant by the fifteenth of May; roasting
ears, sweet potatoes, watermelons, peaches,
etc., are in market by tho first of-June; dew-
berries, blackberries and strawberries are
abundant In April and May. An industrious
farmer can live luxuriously on the products of
the orchard and garden, with no expense oth-
er than the labor expended in the cultivation
of the soil. The use of manure in field culture
is nnkuown and seldom required for the gar-
den.

Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned, engin
eers, on the Georgia Central Railroad, in
grateful obligation for the benefits we receiv-
ed from the use of Simmons Liver Regulator
during the Yellow Fever Epidemic, iu Savan-
nah, Ga., during thli summer and fall 01
lsTli, desire to make the following statement :
That during the aforesaid epidemic, we used
the medicine known as Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, prepared by.I. II. Zeilin & Co., and
though exposed to the worst miasmatic influ-
ences by going in and coming out of Savan-
nah at different hours of the night, and also
in spending entire nights in tho citv during
the prevalence of the most fatal epidemic.,
with hut the single exception of one of us,
who was taken sick, but speedily recovered,
we continued in our usual good health, a cir-
cumstance we can account for in no othei
way but by the effect, under Providence, ol
the habitual use of Simmons Liver Kegula
tor while we were exposed td this yellow ft*
ver malaria.
