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.

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 they have not already learned a lesson all essential to them they will before next J une. 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.

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. GWINNETT JAUNTY SALES. Sheri/T# /Sales for November.

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.
