Mr. Bates, of Dawsonville, went up the
Air-Line last week in-search of employ'
•mens He went to Mitchell’s Mills and
there 4eft a companion, and started to re -
turn to Gainesville. He walked down the
track about a hundred yards, and was in a
large cut when he heard the train coming,
and as he saw no room between thMrain
cud the banks df the cut he attempted to
climb out. He had reached a certain point
jua. aa the engine passed him, when bis
foothold slipped, he fell with his right leg
upon the track, which tyaS crushed to
atoms near the knee. His right arm was
next severed from his body about four
inches from the shoulder. In this mangled
condition he lay from 7:10 p. m. to 6 a. m.
when he was picked up by some track
hands, placed upon a hand-car, and carried
•to Gainesville, where heveceived every pos
sible attention. Mr. Bates has a wife and
eight children dependent on his labor.
Aixkn & Jokes.—We call attention to
the advertisement of Messrs. Allen &
Jo»es in this issue. They have just re
ceived a large stock of new geods which
they offer cheap for cash, and for cash
only. They have something for everybody
and want everybody to see their goods.
They have detemltaed to adhere strictly to
the pash system, and sell goods at the low
est possible figures. They are young, ac
tive, honest and polite. They have began
a permanent business, and know that the
merchant who sells often and for short
profits does most for bis customers and
himself. Be sure to read their advertise
ment. Be sure to call on them if you
want value received for every dollar you
spend.
Judge E. W. Lewis of Cumming called
on us this week. He reports crops fine in
Farsyth. He is endeavoring to organize a
company for building a cotton factory on
one of the many fine water-powers in For
syth county, 'iliis is eminently a practi
cal movement and should relieve the aid
of all cotton planters in that county. We
alto learn that Col. Kellogg and others
have purchased a large »te%m engine which
will be used in the new manufacturing in
terests that are springing up at Cumming.
The workshops at Cumming arealready
known throughout Georgia: and whenever
her enterprising citizens call to their aid
the steam engine, they will take a new
and vigorous start to still greater prospei -

Rsuoiors SZRVicts. —In the forenoon
last Sabbath, our young friend, Ifev. Mr.
Gardner, pastor of the Methodist Church,
poached a very good sermon from Luke
22: 31 82. And of which we give to-day
a more extended notice under the head,
“Christian Charity.”
At night Uty. Mr. Parish, of the same
church preached an interesting and practi

With this issue of the Advance we begin
to have our town eubscribere’ papers car

thvy prefer to pay the postage rather than
to have to pa)l at djffepent places tor their

time in August. At that time no buildings
•were finished except Cousin John Thrash,

grown under all adverse circumstances to
be a considerable village, and is now mak
ing greater progress than at any former pe

our lands average with any in this latitude
i for production. We raise corn, wheat,
, oats, cotton, potatoes, all kinds of veggta

r A STORY WITH TWO SIDES.
f A few days ago a story came in the
California papers about a young Chinaman
at San Jose falling in love with his em
ployer’s daughter, the girls rejection of
. the Mongolian's suit, and his retaliating
by firing three pistol shots at her, the first
struck a steel rib of her corset and glanced
1 off, the second cut her apron strings be
hind, and the third buzzed her ear. The
Chinaman supposing he had killed his vic
-1 tim, shot himself dead. That was the
story. There is another side to it. A
strong suspicion exists among the neighbors,
and those who know the Dqbois family,
that old Dubois killed the Chinaman,
and that he and his wife and the two
girls made up the story. The mark on
the steel ribof the corset looks as if it
had been made with a knife Instead of
a bullet. The covering is cut with a
blade, but themetai is not grazed. The
, Dubois women at ttje inquest said that
i the Chinaman’s attack on the girl was
j made about noon wlnap Dubois ULrpself
r was away from home. Shots were heard
i by others early in the morning when Du
r bois was a| Uorqe, and none were heard
. by the same persous iu the same place at
. noon. They tell a story that Dubois had
a hired man to whom he owed six hun
dred dollars for services some years ago.
The man was caught in a suspicious jx>-
■ sition by Dubois with his oldest daught-
• er, and the poor man agi-eed to settle
• with the irate father by giving him a
I receipt for all the money owing him.
' The neighbors thought that affair was
' preconcerted by Dubois and the girl
1 The Chinaman just dead, had been with
him six years and Dubois owed him five
hundred dollars. His relatives know
, thia fact, and they don’t believe the
, story of suicide. Dubois and his fapifly
have all been arrested, and are bow in
jail awaiting examination for the kilpqg
of the Chinaman.
Knxxn BY ’’ —This jg a phrase
which has just been painfully illustra-
by statistics in England. Who would
have believed, save upon the authority of
Dr. lAnkcster, the Lonulon coroner, that
no ’fewer than three thousand tender in
fants are annually smothered to death by
their mothers, who fall asleep in bed
while nursing their pledges ? Unfortunate
ly mothers involuntarily kill their children
in a great manv other ways—by absurd
■ indulgence in filet, by foolish exposure in
i dressing, and through utter ignorance of
the laws of the human system. The on
ly wonder that ’the race, or at least
the eivitirod portion of it, was not long
’ ago utterly exterminated. Babies are call-
•| ed tender; it strikes us that they are
rerenritaMr tourh.

HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE.
John McDonough, the millionaire of
. New Olreans, has engraved upon his tomb
i a series of maxims he has pursued
i through life, and to which his success in
) ’ ‘burenres ig ipainly attributed. They con
tain so much wisdom tha| we copy them:
? RULES FOR TUE GUIDANCE OF MY J*FK.
Remember always that labor is one of
> the conditions of existence.
i 1 ime is gold; throw not one minute
away, but place each to account.
Do upto all m en as you would be done
> by.
a Never put off tiH iomoßow tyha| ycui
can do to-day.
3 Never bid another do what you can do
> yourself.
Never covet what is not your owu.
Never think any matter so trifling as not
-' to deserve notice.
r Never give out that which does not
- first come in.
» Never spend but to produce.
Let the greatest order regulate the trans
■ actions of your life.
; Study in your course of life to the grea
r test amount of good.
j Deprive yourseif of natlujag necessary
i to your comfort, but live ki an honorable
j simplicity.
I Labor to the last moment of your ex
istence.
: Pursue strictly the above rules, and
the divine blessing and riches ol every
- kind will flow upon you to your heart’*
content.
First of all, remember that the chief and
i great duty of your life should be to tend
i by all means in your power, to the honor
: and glory of our Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which I have ar-
I rived is, that without temperance there
• is no health; without virtue no order;
i without religion no happiness and that the
i aim of our being is to live righteously,
wisely, and soberly.
£ w m
> EVERY-DAY RELIGION.
We must come back to qqr point,
. which is, not tq urge yon all to give
. yourselves up to mission work, but to serve
God more in connection w.th your daily
, calling. I have heard that a woman who
> has a mission makeg a poor wife p,r a
[ bad mother. 7 his is very possible and at
. the same ’time very lamentable; but the
. mission urged is not at all of this sort.
Dirty rooms, slatternly gowns, andjchildren
with unwashed faces are swift witnesses
against the fiincereity of those who keep
other vineyards and neglect their own.
' I have no faith in that woman who
‘ talks of and glory abroad and uses
no soap and water at home. Let the but
tons be on the sh : *ts ? let the children’s
' socks be mraded, let the roast mutton be
done to a t*rm let the house as neat
as a new pin, and the ‘.home be as happy
as Irome can be. Serve God by doing
common actions in a heavenly spirit, and
then if your daily calling only leaves
cracks and services of time, fill them up
1 with holy service.—
A Remarkable Story.—A paper pub
( lished in St. Joseph, Mo., is responsible for
the following story, of what it calls a
strange case, but nevertheless a true one ;
Yesterday Dr. L. H. Rogers, of Amazo
nia, when he got off the train at Francis
street depot, he was robbed of his gold
watch and chain. Last night he dreamed
that it was hid under the depot, and this
morning be went and found it all right
i and still clicking.
“Honesty the Besl Policy. That
“honestj is the best policy” may be ex
emplified by the following little incident;
A man at Belmont, Missouri, sold to a
mill owner a saw log, which proved to
be holkw. As he sold it for a sound log
he voluntarily went and gave back the
price, aud hauling it to b« own yard,
chopped it* up for firewood. In this
eration he found ten f 5 gold pieces which
somebody had secreted in it.
Daniel Melone, a Swede, and a merchant
of some prominence at Palmetto, was
killed on Tuesday while attempting to
get upon a train in motion on the North
Alabama & Griffin Railroad, at Whites
burg.
J. B. Stokes, of Columbia, S. C., was
horribly injured in Augusta on Tuesday
by stumbling under a passing train on
the Charlotte, Columbia <fe Augusta Rail
road in an attempt to jump on the plat
form.
A negro woman was killed on the Wes-
• tern & Atlantic Railroad, near Ackworth,
on Tuesday by a passing train. She was
walking on the track at the time.

Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher
of splendid attainments, having devoted
his entire time and energies to that busi
ness. Norcross is a health}’ place, pure
air, goo’d water and immediately on the
Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesviila Eagle, .March 8, 1873. i
There ig notlilrig 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
. leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers—those who, from experience, have
shown an aptness for imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of
the Norcross High School.
From Gwinnett Herald.
J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol
ar and pxpertetlc»:>d tescheiv
, From the Cartersville Standard.
We again say to bur people that no bet
ter school can be had than this. Here
they get sound practical teaching, and
will be by the student thoroughly learned.
