Dunlap, Atlanta. THE AIR-LINE IS COMPLETED. (Georgia’s dream for sixteen years is now realized. The great Atlanta and RichmoiHl Air Line Railway ip completed. The gar den spot of Georgia and of the South is no longer locked up from the business world. Untold elements of wealth in climate, water, air, soil anti minerals are now put within the reach of a needing humanity. Thousands of nature's noblest people are no longer insulated and dead to the pro gressive world, but are now an active, healthy pulse in i*s rapidly developing organisip. , How grand the destiny awaiting North East Georgia. Blessed with nature’s rarest gifts in all elements of human wealth how grand her future career in ameliorating the condition of the human race ! How pow erful the impetus her development will give to Southern progress, material and immaterial. At the expiration of another sixteen year’s dream, if we have peace and usual prosperity, |he population along this great air-line thoroughfare will be increased aa hundred fold ; the banks of the Chattahoochee will become the Lowell of the South; the existing villages will •become populous cities; untouched forests will become gardens; unimproved min <eral springs will become Saratogas; log ‘cabin school houses will become Colleges, -and tjtc children of people now impover's'i •ed will become rich, intelligent and happy. This is net the mere fancy of poetic day-dreamers. All this and more is within ’the of the present generation. The .people and the public press have but to ’unite a?)*! proclaim to the world the super-* eminent inducements offered in Northeast Georgia. Our manj unused water-powers must be gauged and thrown upon the mai. ket; our forest lands must be surveyed and divided into small farms and advertised for sale; our ore viens must give up their gems, and our people from Atlanta to Charlotte •ipust unite at the dawn of this auspicious *era, and co-operate |n pushing the ear of * progress. Goop P^fchuNG. —We bjid the pleas ‘ure op fjabbaTlj last of listening to a regu lar old-fashioned, practical gospel sermon, •dalivetGl by Rev. P. A. Hughes, of De ‘catur, Ga., from Isa. 55: 4, “Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, • a leader and coypnauder tp the people. ” He represented the people as engaged m a warfare, and Jesus Christ and Satan as the leader of tlje opposing armies, and ’urged bis hearers to enlist, at once, under the banner of Christ, and offered reasons iand encouragements for doing so, which should have been satisfa.'tory to all. No time was lost by him in depreciating any branch of the Christian church, or friend of his Leader. Such sermons ve truly refreshing. Raai. Estate Aoescy.—The citizens of Norcross have felt the need of a real estate agent. We needed nothing more than this. We are constantly receiving letters at this office inquiring for lands near Norcross. It has been impossible for us to answer all. Again, parties come jMjre tp purchase lots - or farms, but they cannot find any for sale, unless they hunt up the owners, who are sometimes absent. Those desiring to pur chase cannot wait here a week or so in order to see owners of lots. A good, reliable real estate agent will obviate all this. Dr. Boring is the right man, and those who have lots or farms for sale, as well m those who wish to purchase, will call on or write to the Doctor. See his advertisement in this issue. TO THE PATRONS OF NORCROSS , ‘ HIGH SCHOOL. It affords us pleasure to inform the many patrons of Norcross High School that the Institution was never so prosperous as U now is. Our assistant teachers are more than meeting our own expectations. The little folks are learning fast, and give us but little trouble to manage them. The young men and young ladies arc progress ing rapidly, and their demeanor is indeed commendable. We are truly proud of our students, and are doing our utmost to make them not only ornaments to society, but alao qualify them for usefulness in the wnri d. j vv . Town Low» ro Give Wat.—We have five town lota within dive hundred yards of the Norcross depot, that wo will give to w any person why will agree to build a re spectable house thereon within treasonable time. We mean what we say. We will give a deed to the lot and take the parties written obligation to build, and when he doe® build w® will return hi® written obliga tion. We hope pereone who are desirous of locating here for the purpose of educat ing their children will at once avail them-; rehres of this rare opportunity. Jrv. W« invite attention of our farmers to the Beaver Ruin Novelty Gin Mr. Hopkins well known to our <f*rmera. He will girt and pnek for one- { twentieth of cotton. We bespeak for him j a Liberal patronage. NORCROSS & CANTON MAIL ROUTE. We are glad to learn that the citizens along this route are bestirring themselves and that several communities have their petitions about ready. Why is it we hear nothing from Canton? Do nottheC'sn tonites desire any further connection with this part of the world? If they do we wou’d like for them to aid us in opening this mail route. The people along the line must have better mail facilities, whether the line terminates at Canton or else where. —■ ♦Opa———— Will you Stay at Norcross?—This question is the burden of the letters of our many correspondents, who write to its that they to remove their families here, for the purpose of educating their children. In reply to it we can only say that we cannot promise to remain Norcross, nor at any other place. But we v\ ish to say that the success of this Institution docs not so much depend on our remaining here as our correspondents seem to suppose. It was when we came here and is now our earnest conviction that Norcress is natural ly the educational centre of this section of the State, and that its natural advantages will command a large patronage. Besides his, th? local patronage will always com mand the services of competent teachers, and thoroughly competent teachers always keep good schools. If our correspondents depire to locate here, with a view of educating their chil dren, we would suggest that they locate and then have a good school in spite of cir cumstances. Men wire have children to educate cannot afford to wait Micawber like for “something to turn up,” nor for something to stay turned up. They should lay their plans and turn up something. Juv. Mr. Howard Van Epps’ Address to THE GORDONIAX SOCIETY OF NORCROSS IIIGH School.—After an unavoidable delay we comply with tlie request of the young men of Norcross High School, and w ith the wishes of all our citizens who heard it, and publish on the first page the address of the eloquent Mr. Howard Van Epps, of Atlanta. It is an excellent composition, and well worthy of careful perusal. Mr. Van Epps is the most promising young ogator -we have met in Georgia for years. He has high culture and an abundance of the divine pathos. In this one effort he won the admiration of all our people, and especially the high cgjeem of the aspiring Gordonians. Ophir. —Hon. John B. Richards, and his little daughter Ida, of Ophir, Cherokee county, made us a pleasant visit last Satur day He reports the crops good, and the people in fine spirits in his section, which is one of the richest in the State—rich in soil, timber, marble, water power, gold and silveg, and lead mines, in fruit, and richer in high-toned, honorable people. When penetrated by railroad the Etowah Valley from Canton up to Dawsonville will become the garden spot of the South. Funeral Service. —Elder F. M. Haw kins will preach the funeral sermon of Rev. B. F. Clement’s wife and children, at Shiloh Church, the first Sabbath ir. October. He will preach on Saturday night befo re at Norcross. Rev. Mr. Hawkins is a leading Baptist preacher of Forsyth county, and we hope he will havp a large audience pt both services, Lawrenceville Herald please notice. Don’t Advertise.—Mr. W. A. Nash, of this place, bad been offering to sell his land for months, but received no bids. Finally -he advertised it in the Advance, and in three weeks the land was sold to a stranger, anil in four weeks he had more letters than he could answer. Moral—Don’t advertise a thing you want to dispose of. It will be gone before you know it. « Unsafe.—An Alabama friend sent us a postal card the other day, on which was written: “I have just received a specimen number of the Advance. Enclosed please find two dollars for one year’s subscrip tion.” Josh Billings says: It iz not safe to send mutiny by postal kards.” Nobody Knows it.—Several persons in town have lots f.r sale, and severa in this vicinity have farms for side; but nobody knows it. If we had the privi lege of telling about it we might treat them like wo did Mr. Nash, viz: Crowd them with buyers. W iTit their usual zeal our Town Counci are pushing street improvements. The walk through the Public Square is elegant and quite a convenience. As they have, no criminals to try, they devote their time to needed work. Mr. DeWitt Jones has purchased Mr. Fiord’s interest in the firm of Floyd & Allen. Messrs. Jones & Allen will do a cash business, and we predict for them a prosperous business during the ensuing fall. Tire telegraph wires are being distributed along the Air Line Railroad- In a little while the once insulated mountains of Georgia can talk ahead of time with the metropolitan centres of the world. “Cousin” Lou, at “Cousin” John's Hotel, can cook the best biscuit of any- Ixxly, at anybody's Hotel in anybody's country. Can’t travelers understand this ? Gomylimkxtary.—Clarksville rivals Nor cross, and beats the rest of the world for proßy ladies.—Atlanta Herald. Right. Go up head, “Adolescent?. ” Person At.—Mrs. Dr. Lewis, so highly esteemed by our High School boys at Cumming, is spending a few days with hex ; sister, Mrs. Dr. Boring. | Wx want and most have two large i ; boarding houses in Norcross, respectively j , for Uit* young u.t n anl ladies of Norcross 1 i High SdtotiL I Our fdlew-townsman, CoL J.

In consequence of s’ight illness Mr. W. D. Wasson leaves for his father’s to-day- Cal. Flint of Griffin lias spent a few days here. He is a phrenologist and has been telling the young folks about the bumps on their heads. He happily hits their Intellectory organs. Our merchants and fanners are begin ning to look cheerful. They hope the tight grip of ike money market will soon be loosed, to which we have no objec tion, ANOTHER RAID. During our Camp Meeting a young man from Gainesville came down with two of his friends, and appeared very much in terested in the meeting, but on Sunday morning he and a young lady took a ride. The last we heard of them they were go ing toward Gainesville at a “two forty” late, keeping a sharp eye on the road to the rear. We notify the editor of the Eagle now 7 , that in the future he must keep his young men away from our big meetings. Gwinnet can’t furnish wives for all the ugly, men about Gainesville.— When a Hall county man comes to a gath ering in Gwinnett lie is generally armed with a blank marriage license. We find the following notice in the Eagle: Mamed, in this city, on Sunday eve ning, at the residence of Mr- W. J. Shock l< y, by Rev. J. W. Hargrove, Mr. C. H Alford, of Gainesville, to Miss Lula Bran don, of Gwinnett county.—Lawrenceville Herald. The Gwinnett Herald complaims of our Hall county boys stealing the Gwinnett girls at big meetings, and warns that v. e must keep our young men away from gatherings in Gwinnett. Raise up, Mr. Herald, a good-looking set of boys in Gwinnett, like we have in Hall, and your Gwinnett girls won’t be compelled to run away with our boys, in order to get first class husbands.—Gainasville Eagle. THE OLD ANIMUS. The New 7 York Tribune publishes a let ter purporting to have been written by old John Brown, the leader of the Harper’s Ferry insurrection, shortly before his exe cution in Virginia, addressed to the Rev. Luther Humphrey, brother of the Rev. Zephaniah Humphrey, of Philadelphia, with the following heading : “An Unpub lished Letter from the Martyr of Har per’s Ferry.’’ The Tribune professes an earnest desire for reconciliation and the obliteration of all sentiments of sectional resentment. The editor can hardly expect tlie people of the South to give him cred it for sincerity so long as he holds up to the world as a “martyr,” a miserable fanatic who expiated his crime of treason, insurrection and murder on the scaffold, and denounces ex-Prqgdent Davis in bit ter and scurrilous terms for iris devotion to the principles of constitutional govern ment, justice, law and rigid. John Brown belongs to a class of “martyrs” for whose memory tlie people of the South can enter tain po respect, while Jefferson Davis is endeared to them by li:a self-sacrificing pa triotism, eminent statesmenship, and exal ted pcreonal character. To canonize the former and villify and traduce the latter is not the way to promote reconciliation. [Savannah News. FES TS OF SOCIETY. Time is said to be money, but we doubt if many believe it; few, at least, seem to be aware of the article, considering the manner it is thrown away, or the manner in which it is stolen from friends, neigh bors and acquaintmees. Time-stealers are the very pests of society. They abound in all small towns, and are pretty nu merous in every city. They are not all idlers. Possibly they pursue professions, and are themselves the objects of plunder to others ; nevertheless, that does not pre vent them from stealing your time, provi ded they can lay hold of it. They fare cunning, and wait for opportunities. They have ends to serve, they are great advice seekers and what do they care for robbing you of half an hour, if it suits their neces sities or convenience! Time-stealeis are certainly born without a conscience. We have known them commit a robbery of an horn with the most consummate "cool ness. No matter how you are engaged, how busy you are, or how onerous and in cessant your duties, there is their horrid rap at the door, or their distracting ring at the bell. They wisli to see you for on ly a single moment, it is au affair of some importance;, to them no doubt, and they will not detain you a minute, and so forth; all which is, of course, a pretence to get themeclves edged into your privacy, and give you a world of botherfttion about nothing. —Exchange.

There is nothing of more importance to f the youth of our country, than a sound . practical education. Indeed it isamat , ter of first consideration, and in order that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion.

This , tract contains between 300 and GOO acres I 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 and a beautiful grove of forest trees in the yard: one mile from the court-house on the Covington road; near forty.live 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 ol 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 dwciling-koiw?, with six rooms on the place, and a magnificent spring of water near by. Also 130 acres of No. 211, adjoining lands of J. M. Ambrose and others, 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.
