That Will give them but little trouble and cost them but one cent postage, and will be considered no offense to Us. We only de sire the patronage of those who esteem our paper as worth, at least, its cost. RrnmNED.—The bright eyed, gleeful hearted Misses Ellen Thrasher, Naoma Johnston and Chloe Richardson have re turned from their vacation visit to their • Planning little friend and classmate Miss Alice Harrell, of Forsyth county. They Bay: We enjoyed it hugely—were as happy as big red roses blushing in a dewy morn ing’s sun. Bask Link.—Capt. Boutell has return ed kind will begin resurvey of the Base Line imffiediately. The object of the resurvey is we understand it, is to ascertain wheth er or not the summer heat expands the earth to any appreciable extent—an inqui ry first made, we believe, by Commodore Maury. It is a new and delicate problem, but judging from the position he occupies, <sapt. Boutell is one of the finest mathe maticians in the Government; and scien tific men will anxiously await the result of Lia experiment. Life InsubaNoe. —Maj. Charles White head, the pushing, clear headed agent for the Mobile Life Insurance Co., is in town, pleading earnestly with fathers to provide fior their dear little ones. The Major, not unlike other Life Insurance agents, seems to have a very deep concern for the future of other men’s wives and children. We hope he will be able to make them all hap py- First Honor.—The venerable Dr. Thos. Boring has won our first honor. He is the first to hand us a list of subscribers pro cured by himself. Citizens of Norcross do likewise. Write to your friends for us, talk to them, laugh with them, ask them to dine with you, do all this and more un til you get the precious $2 subscription fee. Ertrnsp. Spring.—Cousin John is elated. He has found a genuine sulphur spring a short distance from ids hotel. Arrivals. —Col. W. A. Jones and wife kid Mik Kelly, of Leesburg, Ga., arrived on tlie 9th instant. The Colonel tasted the ■weela of our good air and water last sum mer and has returned to again grow fat KjuUx* happy. pleasantilttie lam- Bh 1 ' "i . /• '■ ili ' IbufT, Flo., are also snmmerS Rn Norcross. Mlm H.

Di. Angier visited Norcross on the 9th he is negotiating with other merchant. Also, Mr. L. A. Jackson who will replenish his stock as he sells out, and wiil sell as cheap as can be had any where. As will be seen by reference to the ad vertising columns, Col. Jas. I’. Simmons offers several large tracts of good farming land for sale, situated iu and near Law renceville, in this county. He offers to sell on easy tgrms. See advertisement. The Atlanta Dalieb.—Wit**" their characteristic vim and -enterprise these papers scorn tlio-pirtancc of postage, and forward to the Advanck their Dailies, re plete with the newest of news, and brim full of independent ideas. Thanks to you, gentlemen. An abundant success is crown ing your liberality, ability, energy and busi ness tact. Dr Boring’s Sermon.—On last Wednes day night Dr. Boring preached to an atten tive audience from the text: “And he said my presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said, If thy pres ence go not with me, carry us not up lienee. Exodus, 33, 14. The Doctor gave us a good old fashion talk about heart religion. He did not in* dulge in empty declamation and rhetorical flourishes He talked to us about a reli gion that a man can feel, that lives not among the stars but in men’s aud wo-' men’s hearts. His audience consisted mostly of young people . from whom he received undivided attention. It is evident even to an ordina ry observer that many of them arc anxious about religion, and the ministers should work with renewed energy. Rev. Wooten preaches to-night. Tub Air Line Railway.—We under stand from the able and efficient Agent and Superintendent, Col. B. Y. Sage, that there are only about twelve miles of track now to lay, and that the trains will com mence regular trips from Atlanta to Char lotte early in August. We predict for that Company a success equalled only by the energy of the prime movers of the enterprise, and of those who have conducted their scheme to a most tri umphant success. Crops.—This season naa harvested the best crop of oats raised here for many long years. Up land corn is univer sally promising. With a late season, the prospect of a good cotton crop is now flat tering. Wheat is far below an average, and bottom land corn is very unpromising —too wet. Those who are growing hay, (but their number is by far too small), are being well compensated for their labor and expense. Red clover and herds grass es pecially, are yielding abundant crops this season. J. P. 8. No Criterion.—People unacquainted with the business and population of Nor cross, would infer that it was a one-horse, cross-road place, by looking at the few lo cal advertisements in the Advance. But our readers must not judge our town by that standard. There are twenty-six Gfißi »e« hornet hero, all in fucciwi tion. Sonic ©f them to induce 113 tfl conn? hcre,|promwed to 'advertise liberally, but have refusrd to do so now that we are here. But there are three or four houses who de serve Special mention for their liberality and business tact, Floyd & Alien, D. C. Jones & Co,, L. A. Jackson and W. C. Sparks. These are the business men of the place, and as Norcross grows up these Anns will grow up with her in her prgsper ity, while others, less lag behind.

Such we are now ~ i3S ~" enabled to offer, with a perfect /S certainty that it will eradicate ** the disease, and with assur ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quantity. That which protects from or prevents this dis order must be of immense service in the com munities where it prevails. Prevention is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which lie must run in violent attacks of this baleful dis temper. This “CURE” expels the miasmatic I poison of Fever and Ague from the system, I and prevents the development of the disease, if taken on the first approach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large quantity we sup ply for a dollar brings it within the reach of everybody; and in bilious districts,rwhere Fever and Ague prevails, everybody should have it, and use it freely, both for cure and pro tection. It is hoped this price will place it within the reach of all —the poor as well as Jhe rich. A great superiority of this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no Qui nine or mineral; consequently' it produces no quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon the constitution. Those cured lA’ it arc left as healthy as if they had never had the disease. Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis orders arise from its irritation, among which are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness, Toothache, Eata-he, Catarrh, Asth ma, Palpitation, Painlul Affection of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the in termitient type, or become periodical. This “Cure” expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike. It is an in valuable protection to immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the mala rious districts. If taken occasionally or dairy while 'exposed to the infection, that will be ex creted from the system, and cannot accumulate ;n sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure; and few will ever sutler from Inter mittents if thcyhyail themselves of the protec tion this remedy affords. For TAver Complaints, arising from torpid ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stim ulating the Liver into healthy' activity, and pro ducing many truly remarkable cures, where , other medicines fail.
