Our Ma yob's Homb and Hospitality.—
On last Saturday evening we received
from Hon. W. P. Johnston and his most
excellent wife, an invitation to partake
with them of a fine melon at their resid
ence. We went, and a fine melon we
found. It weighed thirty-seven and a half
pounds; had ten inches of solid red meat
within it; was fresh as a morning rose,
and was mighty good; We eat all we
could, but had to eat more, and it became
simply superfirte when his Honor told us it
grew in the suburbs of Norcross. When
we first saw the tnelon, we thought our
"erod'd should be increased. But our delu
sion vanished when we saw those High
Sch<>ol boys, Collier and Gholston, cut off
their first rasher, and wipe from human
sight at one mouthful a piece of solid meat
about four by five inches. Those boys
have one essential element of the orator—a
big mouth; and if they always practice as
much earnestness as they did on that occa
sion, success awaits them.
We have the best Mayor in Georgia; and
the municipal government of Norcross, so
far, has been perfectly successful. It is
interesting to study his Honor’s physiogno
my. Every feature beams with keenness
of perception, resolute determination, and
justness of purpose. Well may Norcross
be proud of him.
The Meeting of the Agricultubal
Club.—We inadvertently omitted in last
issue to call attention of tanners to the
organization of an Agricultural Club in
Norcross. There was a preliminary organ
ization effected on the 3d inst. To-day the
clrfb will meet and permanently organize.
It is earnestly hoped every farmer in the
vicinity will be out, and will take an active
interest in the welfare of the club. It is
no longer doubted that farmers must unite
and co-operate. They can no longer grope
blindly. They must, if successful, supjiort
one another. They must interchange ideas,
give experimental results, and work with
and for one another. A permanent live
Agricultural Club will do much towards
lands, and augmenting the
neighborhood. Il will aid in
to the fanner s inter, st,
the soil.
We want every farmer in this community
to be present. We chronicle this movement
with no ordinary interest, and hojie and
feel much good Will accrue from it-.
Mrs. L. A. Nbßi Yob, the ec om; 11 -h -d
teacher of Music and Art in the High
School, began her work Monday. She has
infused new life into this department. The
young ladies are delighted. They have a
bright future, and we predict for them
rapid progress in this department. We
respectfully invite the ladies of Norcross to
rail on Mrs. Norryce at the music rooms, and
hear hei perform upon the piano and organ.
If you have daughters in the Institution,
come and see under whose eharge they are
placed. The young ladies of Norcross who
desire to take lessons in drawing, painting
zephyr work, feather work, etc., are re
quested to call on Mrs. Norryce, who has
had seventeen years’ experience In these
branches.
Thk Origin of the Soul.— Dmbtless
our readers have become anxious to see the
discussion between our assodatc and Ram
bler open to good earnest. Judging from
Rambler's last article, and the one appear
ing in this issue the skirmishing is about
closed. There is ao question of more im
portanre than the one they propose discuss
ing It underlies all Theology, and shapes
the doctrines of all churches. There can
not be too much known of it. Our asso
ciate trundles in no worn ruta—rattles tbe
dry carcasses of no exploded systems, but
strikes out boldly and Independently.

The Atlanta Constwtion.—We return
thanks to the proprietors of the Atlanta
Uvhstitution for a complimentary pass on
the Ctmadtution engine between Atlanta
and Macon. This apceial engine, we learn,
Is a business necessity, and is not chartered
merely to gratify a desire of reckless com
petition. In this view the rtttreprise is
tpute commendaWe.
*Krcats' Drawing Books. —We com
'ne’nd to Uw attention of teachers ami
qaArons the tfoove named series. They are
well calculated to develop the inventive
genius of children, and can be taught by
penxms unacquainted with the art of draw
ing. They are very aysUmWm, ami cost
only fifty rente jar set.
How Pi ants Grow.—Prof. Gray’s work
with the above title is the best work on
Botany we have ever seen, it’s style is as
pure, simple and sweet as the nectar in the
flowers of which it treat*.
If our lady readm wish to learn all about
“How Plants Grow,” they should write to
Captain Paris, at Macon, for tbte little
volume.

A MAIL ROUTE. FROM NORCROSS
TO CANTON.
■> «
It seems absolutely necessary that we
have a new mail route from Norcross to
Canton. The citizens along the route de
sire and should have it. Along .this route
there is a large and thickly settled terri
tory, whose inhabitants receive their mail
but once a week, and then they in many
instances have ,'to send from ten to fifteen
imiles for it ■ ’
£
Between Norcross qfld* Alpharetta there
is a large scope Os country through which
,no mail route passes. Between Alpha-etta
and Canton,- a distance oiksonie twenty-five*
there are no post offices, and no
mails, except that which is brought by
private parties from Alpharetta or Canton..
Nova directly on this route live many peo
ple, and many entire communities adjoining
this route would be enabled to receive their
mails wi h a convenience approximating
that which is usually found among civilized
people, ft is preposterous to have so many
good and prosperous citizens put at so great
an inconvenience about their mails, when a
small expense on the part of the govern
ment would not only obviate this inconve
nience, but also infuse new bfe into other
enterprises along the route.. As it Is, this
rich country is almost isolated from the
world, and its citizen?, becluse of the hick
of mail facilities, are kept in the back
ground of the world’s progress.
We want comm unications on this subject
from the citizens along this route. Let us
hear from you, gentlemen. If you are in
earnest, let us go to work in earnest and
secure the route. It can be done. Give
ub the exact distance, the number of offices
to be established, and the number of people
to be profited by the route, and let us agi
tate this subject in our columns.
FIRE INSURANCE.
We earnestly solicit the attention of
fanners, machinist and manufacturers
throughout Cherokee Georgia to the com
munication in this issue headed “Fire In
surance.” It is a movement in the right
d rection. The plan jiroposed is eminently
feasible. 'The good to accrue from its con
summation is incalculable. Men may prate
about free transportation, free schools, and
immigration societies enriching our coun
try, but more good will result to our people
a strong union, and an earnest, in
defatigable co-operation of our own “manor
born” citizens, than from all other sources.
It is an alaiming fact that Georgia is
growing poorer and poorer every year, It
is a sad truth that money is scarcer to-day
than it has been for the last four years.
Notwithstanding the abundant crops vfe
produced last year, the cry of “tightness
in the money market” greets us on every
hand. Under a wise- economy the South
ern people would have been richer to-day
than ever before in the’r history. But we
are growing poorer, and will continue to
grow poorer so long as wc pour our life
blood into the gloating jaws of New Eng
land manufacturers, Insurance companies,
and monied monopolies. Our people—our
hohefit, toiling masses must unite their
brains, muscles and capital, and co-operate
unceasingly if they would become prosper
ous and independent.
NORCROSS.
We arc hat surprised at the rapid growth
of Norcross. It has grown gradually since
it was first named. It has received a new
impetus within the last month. Buildings,
neat and substantial, are going up in every
direction. Still there has been no extra
exertion on the part of the citizens to induce
people to settle here. Our town is in the
right place, and the right kind of men
wain homes here. Its proximity to At
lanta; its pure air and water; its indus
trious, active, intelligent population; its
elegant High School building are charms
to men who des're happy homes. It is
idle talk to say, that if a certain man or
certain men should leave here Norcross
would stop gro w.'ng, Her grow th depends
on no one individual, nor set of W’viduals.
Her present citizens can and will do
much to augment her growth; but her
chief aid is to lie found in her natural ad
vantages. So sure as Atlanta is and wdl
continue a city, just so sure Norcross wi’l
become a town of no I’ttle importance.
Her fut ilities are unequalled by any town
in Georgia, and her cii'wna are too far
sighted to a’low these facilities to waste.
Men may talk about what m’ght be, but
the growth of Norcross is what is to be
and " 111 be.
Improvements.—That enterprising and
reliable firm, McElroy, Lively & Co., have
commenced building a large, two story
concrete Ptoro house on the lot opposite
their old stand. These gentlemen mean
business. Ths style aad sbte of their store
is a true exponent of their good taste ami
business sense, as well as an index to their
faith in the prosperity of Norcross,
J. A. Miller, Esq,, one of our most
reliable and accommodating merchants,
bss at his own cost greatly ‘mproved the
;>sYcment in front of his store. He has
made other improvements on his lot, which
gives it quite an attractive apfn aianee.
Out young friend, Thomas Jones, is
beautifying bis residence lot. We noticed
his pleasant lady out *n the yard d'reci’ng
his ’abors. Wc judge she intends hav*ng a
yard full of beautiful Sow era. NoOi ing
speaks more for the iotelligence of house
wives lhati a yard of select flowers.
WE intended to insert in this issue the
rehedule of the Air-Line Railway; but we
learn the schedule is now be ing changed
preparatory to running thiough trains. W e
therefore postpone inrort'OM. It will appear
ro iwa aa Hte arranged by mperw

UP AND DOWN THE AIR,LINE.
We had occasion this week to visit
Lawrenceville and Buford on business, and
are enabled to make the following report of
GWINNETf COUNTY,
FroHn information derived from reliable
sources, we feel-justified in saying that the
prospects were never better for abundant
yields of anA cotton in this county ’
than they now are. The cotton crop,
should we be favored with a usually late
fait, *bids fair to equal, or exceed, the yield
of any other section of the State per acre.
Ouj low bottom laud corn is but light, yet
* the dry bottom and upland com is equal to
the best ever produced here.
lawrkn.cf.vii.le.
The people of th : s delightful old town
(in which the writer has passed the prime
of his life, and where he never failed to
find friend? vyhen in need of them,) a?e
considerably encouraged by the flattering,,
prospect of becoming sßj-ailroad town at an
early day. With railroad facilities, the
writer considers Lawrenceville, all things
considered, the most dearable place for
residence he ever saw.
STAGE LINE AND HOTEL.
Our genial friend, William J. Born, runs
a back every morning from Lawrenceville,
connecting with the up train on the Air-
Line at Suwanee. He ijpt only keeps good
stock and strong vehiclSlbn that line, but
is prepared with a large, well furnished
and well kept hotel at home, where he
makes his patrons feel happy while with
him, and satisfied on leaving that they
have received the full value of all the
money paid him. Give Bill a trial.
BUFORD
Is one of the best located and most thriv
ing railroad towns in the State. 'The
amotint of business now done there would
appear astonishing to any one unacquainted
with the section of coun'ry which finds a
market there.
A more friendly, kind hearted, accom
modating and honest population cannot,
perhaps, anywhere be found than there.
Better water no where runs out of the
earth, nor purer air blows over it, than at
Buford. That must sometime become a
popular place for summer resort from the
scorching sun and burning sands of the
low country.
MRS. garner’s HOTEL
Is one of the most pleasant, neat and well
kept houses anywhere to be found. This
is a place where it may be truly said, “The
way worn traveler finds a rest.”
Mrs. G. is herself one of the most amiable
and intelligent ladies of which our country
can boast; and withal one whose family
connections will compare favorably with
the best. See her card in another column,
and give her a call.
SUWANEE.
It must be admitted that this new town
does not exhibit the same signs of pros
perity and rapid growth witnessed at some
other pc hits on this road. But it is also
true that Suwanee is surrounded by one of,
if not the very, best sections of farnvng
land through which the Air-Line passes on
its whole length.
That must, one day, become a thriving
business place. There ere in fact some
well qualified and successi’ul business men
their now.
DULUTH
Is looking up. Several new houses are
being built, and the place e ih’biis abun
dant signs of activity in every department
of business. Success to our neighbors,
say wc.
NORCROSS.
We have notb'ng more to say of this
place at present, than that we are here, not
from necessity, but of choice. 8.
Tire Gordonian Society.—Judging from
the outburst of enthusiasm in the Gordo
nian Hal’, on last Friday n’ght, the young
men are thoroughly enlisted in the : r discus
sions. Debating Societies arc tbe matrix
from which spr' n g tbe mtebectual giants
of every age. In them are ca”ed for«n
and trained those poweis that r Cterwnds
startle and electrify tbe world.
Burned to Death.—On Monday last
Willie McDonald, son of Mrs. W. R. Mc-
Donald, and a son of Mr. J. S. Smith, of
Stone Mountain, experimented with kero
sene oil. They poured a little out of a can
on a rock, and while trying to ignite that
on the. rock the flame communicated with
the oil in the can, exploding the can and
send'eg the burning fluid over the clothing
of the unfortunate boys, Willie McDonald
was burned so severely that he died that
eveirng. His iciflains were taken to Au»
gusta frt interment. He was a promising
boy, and this bereavement falls heavy on
his widowed molher. Young Smith is re
covering.—Atlanta Constitution, 22d inst.

There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education, Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time and at the

G WINNETT LANDS
FOR SALE.
The undersigned offers for sale the fol
lowing lands, all lying near Lawrenceville
in said county, to-wit :
Lots Nos. 140, 141 and part of 148, This
tract contains between 500 and 6<K) acres
of level, gray land, well adapted to the
cultivation of cotton or grain. On this
place there is a framed dwelling-house,
with four rooms, a good well of water aijd
a beautiful grove of forest trees in the
yard; one mile from the court-house on
the Covington road; near forty.five acres
of fresh land in cultivation, and a young
orchard of well-selected fruit: the bal
ance all in the woods. The whole tract is
well watered and contains a large amount
of branch bottom land.
Also a hundred and twenty five acres of
No. 178,lying 1 and a fourth miles from the
court-house, on the Jefferson load. About
, half of this was. when fresh first-class
level, red land, and well watered, and can
now be made one of the best grain and
hay farms in the country, within a short
time and at comparatively little expense.
There is a dwelling-house, with six rooms
on the place, and a magnificent spring of
water near by.
Also 180 acres of No. 211, adjoining
lands of .1. M. Ombrose and ethers, two
and a quarter miles from the Court-house
on the same road. This is all in the woods
except a pine old field in one corner, and
lies well. This and the last above men
tioned would together make a valuable
' settlement.
i,< * acres known as the
“Hollingsworth place,” two miles from
I the eourt-house, on the Jefferson road.—
This has lieen a number one farm and
well improved. The houses and fences
are now all in a dilapidated state—but the
land is ail right—strong, level red land
J and washed but slightly. A Httle labor
and money well applied would make this
a very valuable farm, and beautiful resi
dence.
Also 117 acres of No. 147 all under fence
and wood land except about 20 acres.—
This tract lies on the South side of Law
renceville, and is partly within the cor
porate limits.
Also of lot No. 175. This is inside
o f the eortmratton, and joins lauds of Wm.
J. Bofn. Col. N. L. Hutchins and others.
Any of the above lands wjll be divided
and sold in small tracts if desired bv pur-
I chasers.
Tf.rms;—One-fourth cash and the bal-
I ance on a credit of two, three and four
years, with interest at ten per cent, or all |
ca«h if purchasers so prefer.
If not_ disposed of sooner, the above 1
lands will all be sold at auction on the Ist
I'tivsday in November next.

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all tho great
interests of our readers especially, and of
our country and race generally.
To do that we promise to give them each
week the most important news, both
Foreign and Domestic ; the Market Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current; the
Legal Sales of Gwinnett and a few other
oounties, apd speh Literary, Political,
Agricultural and Religious reading mat
ter as we may from time to time think
most interesting and profitable.
In Politics the ADVANCE must be
Democratic, to be honest, as we are both
Democrats in principle ; but it will not bo
partisan, nor do injustice to any pasty, py
individual, knowingly. And, as we hon
estly believe, that the first and chief care
of all Christians should be to defend our
holy religion against the wiles of Satan—
his hosts and their arms, we will discharge
this sacred duty, as best we may, under
the guidance of Him who Is able to direct
and keep us in the way of truth.
We will also studiously avoid giving
cause of offense to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, an<j
will not, through this medium, attempt tq
build up any one branch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one of
them,
