v ek in regard to future plans.

Crop Pit sp CT3.—Our cotton crop is not
tn ning out near so well in this section ns
was expected; the lint is fine, but the yield
will be light; much less, as we ar' informed,
in inanv Instances than it was last year,
and notwithstanding the very favorable
season fur opening and picking.
——-——— ■ ——
By reference to our advertising columns,
it will be seen that Mrs. Sharp, of Decatur,
has taken charge of the Clark House, 43 j
Whitehall street, Atlanta, Ga. We can
recommend the above house to the travel
ing public, and especially to the ladies, as
Mrs. 8. is assisted by her accomplished
daughter, who will do her utmost to please
the tastes of the moet fastidious, and make
the time pleasant.
Qi
7n« Dog Law.—We want to submit a
plan for the suppression of the intolerable
evil of allowing the country to be overrun
by worthless, half starved dogs, as hereto
fore, and intend to do so at an early day.
We liave one which we think will be
acceptable to our people generally, and
prove an entire success.
With such a law Georgia would soon
realize more clear profit from her wool than
her cotton crop*.
Tas Norcross and Canton Railroad.—
During a recent trip over our projected
mat! route to Canton, we found the people
much interested in its establishment. New
townhas sent in its petition; Alpharetta
manifests some indifference, but we left
the cn erp ise in the hands of Dr. Skelton,
who promised us a full petition at an earlv I
day. Field’s Cross Roads is wide awake, !
sad at work for their petition. We ar- '
ranged to send petitions to Troy and Free- |
masonville, as we could not visit those
pl ices. We were assured those places ’
w »uld co-operate at once. At Hickory j
Flat we found Maj. Puckett, Esqs. Mont- ;
gomery and Houston alive to the enterprise.
We expect their petition very soon. At.
I antou Judge Grisham. Jabei Ga’t, B. F.
< tirisL-y and Col. W. A. Teasley wi 1 soon

The people all along the line manifest a
deep interest in their prospect of

ANOTHER HAPPY DAY AT
NORCROSS.
A BIG DINNER AND THE MOST ENJOY-
ABLE SOCIABLE OF THE SEASON —
MUSIC —WIT —BEAUTY.
Last Saturday was another festival day
with the people of Norcross. 'I he young
ladies of the High School, together with
the ladies of the town, determined to give
Prof. Vincent a complimentary dinner. A
programme was arranged, and the whole
town co-operated to make the dinner a
recherche affair.
At 11 o’clock the bell rang, and young
and old found their way to the Academy,,
where they were greeted by the entrancing
tones of the organ and the happy, ringing
voices of Mrs. Norryce’s most excellent
choir of young men and ladies. At the
close of two excellent pieces of music,
played and sung as only Mis. Norryce and
her class can sing and play, Prof. Vincent
was called and delivered an address on
“ Woman’s Mission. ”
The address was listened to with deep
interest, and every lady in the hall seemed
to feel that they were under o''ligations to
Prof. Vincent for the high estimate he paid
to woman. Let them all remember the
noble words so nobly spoken in praise of
their mission through life, and we bespeak
for them that station in society which the
women of oiir sunny land has held so long.
At the close of the address, Mr. Robert
B. Trippe was called, and created laughter
by his extempore witty remarks. Others
were called upon; among them the genial
and affable instructress of the musical and
art department of Norcross High School,
Mrs. L. C. Norryce, who arose and thanked
Prof. Vincent for the high tribute he
paid to woman. She felt that it was the
duty of every young lady in the room to
rise and thank him. Then came more
music, after which a committee of lathes
repaired to the room down stairs, while the
crowd up stairs amused themselves con
versing, promenading and playing the
innocent and enjoyable games of olden
times.
At 11 o’clock a voice rang out, “Gather
your partners for dinner,” and immediately
every young man had a beauty clinging to
his arm, and was making his way down
the stair-way into the large room, where
were spread two large tables laden with
the most delicious viands Every taste,
however fastidious, found what it wished,
and that in abundance. There was not ing
lacking, and well might Prof. Vincant feel
proud of the great honor the ladies did him
on that occasion. Ye local could see that
his big heart swelled with pleasurable
emotions as he moved among the gay
tlirong that passed about him. To him in
his abiding sad bereavement, that occasion
seemed like a blooming oasis—like a return
to the happy days, of not long ago, when
I nis heart b at high in th? consciousness of
| the endearing unalloyed love of his ainia
i hie, b au'iful and happy wife. How
thoughtful of man’s salm-ss is woman:
■ what encouragement Iter little acts of kind
i ness give c.trc worn man when be is bereft
of his heart’s idols and his life seems :
worthless emptiness!
At 7 o’clock ia the evening the gallin',
beaux began to throng the Chapel room
with the fair of our little town, and in a
short time the hall was filled with the
beauty and elite of Norcross. Then began
the Sociable, which passed off as “ merry
as a marriage b 11.” Everybody, old and
young, seemed to enjoy themaelvft, and
regret that the time for dismissal—ten
o’clock—was fast approaching.
At precisely 10 o’clock the “whistle”
sounded, when all arose to their feet to
take their departure for their homes, and
there to dream of the happy events of the
day.
THE ACCIDENT ON THE AIR-LINE!
A PASSENGER COACH SMASHED.
NOBODY KILLED.
On last Satunlay morning the accommoda
tion train, with one passenger coach in the
rear, pa»*d up the Air-Line in front of the
gravel train. It was early, and the morn
ing was very foggy. About two and a half
miles above here the accomm'xlation train
stopped for wood, the conductor failing to
send back any flagman to notify the gravel
train that he had stopped. The
train ran on at its usual rate, and, not see
ing the train in front until too late, ran
right through the passenger coach, literally
tore it to pieces, and scattered it on both
sides of the track. It is miraculous that
not one of the many pasea'ngers was killed.
They were thrown on both sides of the
track. Some were slightly scratched and
bruised, and some were not hurt at all.
Two of the High School l-oys, M. Strick
land and Ivison Gilbert, were aboard.
Strickland saw the train coming in time to
jump off. Gilbert was pitched down the
embankment and slightly bruised. The
engine of the gravel train was almost
wrecked, and the engin ‘er, Mr. John Snow,
received injuria to bis head, though not
serious.
The rubbish was soon brought down and
switched off al Norcross, aud traiur ran as
usuaL. ,
Habits.—Like Hakes
i fall unperceived upon
the seemingly unimportMut events
of life succeed one another. As
j the snow galhei> together, so are
our habits formed. JNo single
flake that is added to the pile
produces a sensible change; uo
single action denies, however it
mav exhibit a marts character:
but as the tempest hurls the
avalanche down the mountains,
and overwhelms the inhabitant
and his habitation, as passion, act
ing upon t he elements ot mischief.
which pernicious habits have
brought together by impercepti
ble accumulation, may overthrow
the dhtice of virtue and truth.—

COPPERAS BREECHES ERA.
With one eye on the preacher and the
other on the congregation, and a divided
heart on last Sabbath, we were driven to
the conclusion that the people are buying
too mu.h silk and too little calico. A
strang r, dropping out of the clouds into
a Georgia congregation, assembled at 11
o’clock Sunday for divine service, would
conclude that he had fallen into Midas
family, where everything was converted
into gold, judg ng by the fine clothes on
exhibition. Plain old George Washington,
getting up from his grave and looking over
his splendidly dressed descendants, would
never suppose that negroes were free, lands
mortgaged and the country bankrupted.
Calico was nice enough for Martha W ash
ington when she controlled six hundred
negroes, and had a landed estate worth
$75,000, but her great grand children,
without a foot of land or a negro, feel dis
graced on the street unless they are trailing
in silk.
And th sis progress ! We have to pro
gress backwards if we save bacon enough
for subsistence. Ihe copperas breeches era
must be inaugurated anew; and, being
poor, we must live like poor people and
have poor people’s ways, or starve. Mer
chants, and everybody, will be bettei off,
and crime will decrease, confidence be re
stored, health will be regained and heaven
rendered doubly certain.-West Point News.
A BLUSH.
What is there more mysterious than a
blush, that a single word or look or thought
should send that inimitable carnation over
the cheek like the soft tints of summer
sunset! Strange it is also that the human
face is capable of blushing, that the hand
or foot does not turn red with modesty or
shame any more than the glove or sock that
covers them. It is the face that is in
heaven. The blush of modesty that tinted
woman’s face when she awoke in Eden's
sunny land still lingers with her fair daugh
ters. They caught it from the rose, for all
roses were first white; but when Eve
plucked one, the bud seeing her own fair
face—more fair than the flowers—blushed
and cast its reflex on her velvet cheek. The
face is the tablet of the soul, wherein it
writes its actions. There may be traced all
the intellectu d phenomena with a confi
dence amounting to a moral certainty. If
innocence and purity 1 ok outward fr m
within, none the less do vice, intemperance
and debauchery make their indeliible im
pressions upon it. Idiocy, rage, co wa. dice
and passion leave their traces deeper even
than the virtues of modesty, truth, chastity
and hope. Even beauty grows more beau
tiful from the pure thoughts that arise
within it.

this sacred duty, as best we can, under
the guidance of Him who is able to direct

will not, through this medium, attempt to

more than others, nor to injure any one of

■
OUR PLATFORM.
We believe that there is a per

rules all things—that Jesus Christ
is His Son and our Savior, and that
the Holy Ghost, is His messenger
and our instructor.
That the Bible was written by
inspiration of God—is true —and
s the only safe foundation for
I Christian faith and practice.
That the soul is imniortab—tbn
there will be a resurrection of th<
dead and fina l judgment, and that
the punishment of the unre
j deemed will be eternal.
And will insist, that all who
agree in th* ?<•: uudamenla! propo

should all unite and co-operate

sacred work of redemption, as an

Prof. Vincent, the Principal, isoneol
the leading eeucators of the State, and
the High School is rapidly taking its posi
tion in the front rank of educational in
stitutions.
From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873.
This is an independent enteprise.*****
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, puft
1 air, good water and immediately on the
I Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
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 or ier
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 lor imparting instruc
tion. Such a teacher is the Principal ol
the Norcross High School.
I From Gwinnett Herald.
I J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol-
, ar and experienced teacher.

We again say to our people that no bet

they get sound practical teaching, and
will be by the student thoroughly learned.
