Something New and a Great Improve
ment.—Those popular publishers and book
sellers, Messrs. Sheldon & Co., 677 Broad
way, New York, have sent us a specimen
copy of Patterson’s Speller and Exercise
Book. The former contains six thousand
carefully selected words systematically ar
ranged and numbered; while the latter is a
blank book with rule lines numbered ac
cording to the number of the words. They
are the most unique books we ever saw—
just the thing every sensible educator needs.
All experienced teachers know how impos
sible it is to teach spelling by giving out
in class recitation. Pupils may thus
learn to spell by sound, but they are certain
to fail when called on to write. Now Pat
terson’s Speller and Exercise most happily
combine both spelling and writing, and we
cheerfully recommend them to teachers,
with the firm belief that they will give the
most satisfactory results. The tjvo books
cost only ninety cents. Parents can have,
by the use of these books, a pleasant and
profitable exercise for their children at
home.
Colonel Sam McCamy, of Gainesville,
spent last Sabbath with his son-in-law, Dr.
Ray, of th s place. 'I he Colonel says the
Advance and Providence saved him in the
smash up on the Air-Line last Saturday
week ago. He was in the coach that was
literally torn to pieces. He was reading
the Advance when the coach was tele
scoped, and hence did not perceive the dan-,
ger in time to reach the platform and leap
down the embankment, which probably
would have injured him. Just as he got
upon the platform the engine hail run
through the coach, and had torn everything
from around him except three plank of the
platform upon which he was standing, and
these w ith him and the truck were on top
of the engine. The Colonel says he knew
nothing about the smash, except that he
was in mid air with the Advance in one
hand beholding the rest of the passengers
turning sommersaul s down the embank
ment. He was not geared, for the whole
coach was shivered to splinters in one sec
ond and a half. 'I he Colonel is a large
carpulent m n, and his escape is almost
miraculous.

There were 283 bales of cotton brought
to Norcross from October Ist to October
•31st. Os these 170 were for guano liens,
63 for provisions liens, and 50 for liens
and money. During the same period last
year 171 bales were brought to town. Os
these 145 were sold for cash, and 26
s ipped to Atlanta. I’he quantity sold this
season lias distributed here about $3,000.
The quantity sold during the same season
last year distributed about $9,570. In
other words 145 bales last year put. in o
circulation here three times as much money
as 283 bales have this year. The amount
this year is insufficient to meet del ts over
due our merchants, who send every doll r
they get to wholesale dealers in Atlanta.
These are germful facts. Are our farmers
growing richer? Can they afford to buy
bread, bacon, hay and manure, and raise
cotton to pay off liens for the same 1 If

Saturday is show day at Norcross with
the Air-line folks. On last Saturday they
hail another colli ion at this place. In
I order to ship Lent’s circus they had to put
on an extra train, the engineer of whi h
I was unacquainted with the road. One train
i had, as usual, stopped opposite the h -tel
j with a train of cai-s extending "ack to near
: the cut and curve below the depot. The :
i rear train with its unskilled engineer ran
into the hindmost box; woke up Lent’s j
sleeping actors; caused some involuntary I
kissing and bumping of heads among the
passengers; seated some upon toe floor, and
j irred and knocked things about gem rally; I
but did no very great damage. The jarring i
made one of li nt's negroes feel smart He
undertook to show how quick he could
ample cars. He left about half of only
one of his hands in Norervss,
Captain Blair, of the United States Coast
Survey, ha- been stopping in Norenvs, He

making astronomical observations on the

EDITORIALS IN BRIEF.
Rev. Samuel H. Smith, late editor and
proprietor of the Cartersville Standard and
Express, died on last Thursday at six
o’clock a. m. Th sis painful news to us
and his host of friends t . roughout the
State. The last time (just two years ago)
we saw him he seemed the perfect picture
of health. In the prime of manhood he
has been called to his rest. The memory
of his frank geniality and cordial friendship
will long be cherished by his brethren of
the press. We extend his bereaved family
our sincere condolence. May God comfort
them in their sad affliction.
The Alston Grange, of De Kalb county,
at its last regular meeting, passed a resolu
tion that they would ship their entire crop
of cotton to Liverpool via Charleston or
Port Royal, and send their own super cai go
who will sell it to the manufacturer and ac
count directly to them for the proceeds. Os
all the recent movements of the granges
this is the wisest and most opportune. If
adopted universally, and faithfully carried’
out, it would enrich our farmeis and disen
thrall the South from the North, which has
depressed and subjugated all our int-rests
for the last decade.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Gaines
ville Adver iser, of last week, contains an
able editorial advocating a geological sur
vey of the State, and appeals to the State
press for an expression of opinion. We
bearti y endorse the Advertiser’s views;
for we regard an accurate geological and
botanical survey oi the State of vast more
importance than any enterprise that has
been presented to our people in years. It
would make known our inherent wealth
and thereby bring a"out its development. It
would induce immigration and thereby
multiply our indu it ies. It would trans
form our wild forest and waste lands into
fruit bearing orchards and productive fields
It would convert our many waler powers,
now wasting, into potential elements of
wealth. It would stop emigration and make
our people satisfied with their own great
commonwealth. It would create multifa
rious activities, lend a new impetus to all
material and mental enterprise and make
the land blossom with plenty and the peo
ple rejoice in their prosperity.
We welcome to our exchange list the
Herald, of Newberry, 8. C. It is ably
edited by Ihomas F. Greneker, Esq., and
speaks well for the business enterprise of
Newberry. In its complimentary notice of
us it errs in saying that the Advance is a
religious paper, inasmuch as it is devoted to
news, politics, science, education, religion,
etc., and is independent in all things.
The editors of the Norcross Advanor be
lieve in a God; so does the devil believe
and tremble.—Marietta Journal.
The editor of the Marietta Journal be
lieves the chain-gang ought to be abolished;
so do both thieves and murderers believe
and suffer.
The Cartersville Standard and Express
and Gainesville Eagle, two of our most
valued exchanges, are improving rapidly
both in make up and matter.

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
t
interests of our readers especially, and oi
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
counties,etc., and such Literary,Scientific,
Educational, Political, Agricultural and
Religious reading matter as we may from
time to time think most interesting and
profitable.
In Politics the ADVANCE will be
independent; but it will not be partisan,
nor do injustice to any party, oi indi
vidual, 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 tneir arms, we will discharge
this sacred duty, as best we can, 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 oftense to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one branch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one oi
them.
OUR PLATFORM.
We believe that there is a per
sonal God—who created and over
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 i
inspiration of God—is true—and j
the only safe foundation for j
Christian faith and practice.
That the soul is immortal —that j
there will be a resurrection of the '
dead and fina l judgment, and that j
the punishment of the unre
deemed will be eternal.
And will insist, that all who
agree in these fundamental projio
sitions,and seek salvation through
Christ, constitute his Church, ami j
should all unite and co-operate |
with Him, and each other, in the
sacred work of redemption, as an '
affectionate family of brothers ‘
and sisters.
