Our town council at a recent meeting
passed an ordinance requiring keepers of
livery stables and drays to pay a license.
The license for one horse drays is twenty
dolla-s. They adopted regular < barges for
draying within the town limits, and fines
for draying and hauling within the town
limits without a licen e. Messrs. Camp &
Wallace have procured license for keeping
stable and draying. Those who wish par
ticulars can call on Esq. Miller; we have
not space to publish the entire ordinance.

A young man called on a young lady in
our town hist week. He was enthusiastic,
■and expected that night to see the beauty
born of love and hope pass into her face as
—“heart with heart in concord moves,
And the lover is beloved
but in the midst of his most pathetic ap
peals—just as he rounded off the most
touching effusion of his heart with “And
then you’ll be
“ Mine—evermore mine—mine alone! ”
she, excitedly, remarxed : “ I don’t know
what she married him for.” Tois woke
her; she apologised for dreaming, and he
wandered off in that autumn mood
—“ when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind. ”

Rapid improvements greet ns in every
part of town. Since the falling of leaves
our town looks city like. Neat cottages
have gone up all through the adjoining
forest. Our own citizens are sttrprised at
the number of buildings that have been
built since last fall. But what has been
done is nothing compared with what is
being done and w ill be done. Several re
spectable residences are now' under contract
and the work commenced. Several lots
have recently been bought with the view
of improving them, and strangers hunting
homes are constantly walking around town
in search of suitable building sites. We
venture the prediction that Norcross will
more thun double her populatiwr in twelve
months.

Gr’at Eastern Cirocts.—This colossal
exhibition, the no plus ultra of areuic and
zoological excellencies, opened on the cor
ner of East and Chestnut streets to a very
fine audience in point of numbers and re
spectability, and at night there was a per
fect jam of breathing humanity, thousands
being turned away, on W- to gain admis
sion on account of the crowded state of
the immense pavilions. The process on in
.the forenoon through the principal avenues
of tli? city is conceded the most imposing
and gorgeous ever made here. The whole
was enlivened with excellent music from
the several bauds. * Os the exhibition itself i
too much in just commendation cannot be i
eaid. The animal collection is much the
largest ever seen lua*e, embracing thirty odd ,
dens of living specimens from the old and
now world. The acrobatic and gymnastic
exercises were wonderful. —Louisville Com

The Norcross Grangk.— On last Mon- j
day Colonel C. W. Howard addressed a
reajiectable body of our farmers in the i
Ch <pel room of the Academe. The Col. if !
a happy speaker. He combines the most
pointed illustrations with the sternest nrgu- ‘
ineuts. He convinced and captivated our
farmers. They rallied to his earnest appeal
for co-operation and organized a large
<Grange. Our best farmers entered the or- ’
ganlzation with zeal, and, upon adjmun-.
nunt, their faces were lighted up with rays
of a new hope and a no* life. We regret ;
we cannot give Col. Howard's speech in
full. Our fanners need just such nddresst-s,
and we hope they will give him large* an- ;
diences on lift tour up the Air-Line. In
the Grange movement, as expounded by
Col. Howard, we see new hope for our i
depressed and impoverUhea people—an ef
fectual farmers' palladium against the para
sitical excrescences and tumors that an* ‘
sucking up the life blood of our honest,
toiling masses.

DEATH OF MRS. GEO. H. JONES.*
Mrs. Geo. H. Jones, of this place, died
of consumption on last Sabbath evening at
five o’clock. On yesterday at ten o’clock
a. m., her many friends assem led at the
residence and heard a touching funeral
sermon by Rev. G. E. Gardner. Her re
mains were then carried to the family
burial ground, at Warsaw, for interment.
In her death her husband and children
have lost a devoted wife and mother, our
citizens a good neighbor and faithful fiiend,
and the church a most exemplary member.
To her relatives we extend our sincere
condolence. She has faded as a ripened
blossom to bloom again and grow to a more
perfect beauty and holiness in the fields of
God ; but her many kind words, looks and
deeds, are garnered in the memory of the
holy affections of her home as hallowed
secrets of the bereaved, stretching up into
Eternity and linking them in purposes and
destinies aith her loving spirit, now deified
and blest.
Harmony in the Industry of Noeoeoss.
It is most gratifying to witness the business
harmony existing among all classes in
Norcross. Our people seem to tecognize
the truth that the business of life is neces
sarily divided into various occupations, and
that every special business is dependent on
the patronage of all those who are en
gaged in other employments. Tfteir recog
nition of this truth, has secured to all classes
business harmony and co-operation. Pat
ronize your neighbor is the watchword
of all, and it will prove the key to success.
We cannot do without our merchants,
mechanics, farmers, or professional men.
The mechanic and farmei are creators of
wealth ; the merchant and professional man
furnish conditions and facilities out of
which wealth can be created. This is their
true relation, and the utmost harmony pre
vails in our town.
Duluth.—A correspondent, who resides
in Dooly county, and who recently trav
elled over the Air-Line, wants to know if
lots and small farms can be bought at
reasonable prices at Duluth. He likes the
looks of Duluth and the country there
about best of any place on the road.
We do not know' the exact prices of lots
or farming lands at Duluth, but can assure
our correspondent he will find the prices
reasonable—Duluth a pleasant and healthy
place, surrounded by good lands and good
citizens ; we know of no place th: offers
to our South-Georgia friends more real in
ducements than Duluth and vicinity.
Our correspondent as weH as others sim
ilarly interested should write to oui friends
Rogers & Jones, or W, H. Cole, at Duluth.
1 hey are reliable men, and will be pleased
to respond to all inquiries pertaining to the
interest or merits of their town and section.
EDITORIALS IN BRIEF.
Those of our readers who are wanting a
paper from the Southern part of the State
ought to subscribe for the Savannah M< ril
ing News. In its make up it is unexcelled;
in its amount of Georgia and Florida news
unequalled, and in its editorials is lucid,
high-toned, independent and able.
The Georgia Musical Eclectic, published
by Guilford, Wood & Co., at one dollar a
year, has again illumined-oar table with its
spicy articles and tine music. It gives also
an interesting resume of the music il events
of the day. Every lover of music in Geor
gia ought to subscribe for the Eclectic.
Sunday’s Constitution contains a three
column Ifettctr from Mrs. Westmoreland, in
which she pretends to excuse herself from
her connection with the recent Woman’s
Congress in New York city. In the estima
tion of intelligent men and women the let
ter will only confirm previous reports as to
her New York associations. Her action is
of no consequence whatever to the press
nor peeple of Georgia; but it 1 ehooves the
press to inform her fanatical associates that
she does not represent the views of Southern
women. Neither she nor her views find
sympathy in Georgia.
Wilson's Herald of Health for October is
full of interesting matter to the farmer and
his wife; to the physician and his patients;
to the well and the sick. We commend this
journal especially to mothers, for to them
it is of special importance. To rear chil
dren according to mental and moral laws
requires a knowledge of physical laws.
Whatever fosters physical development
conduces to men la’ and moral development.
During the formative season the laws of
tho physical, mental and moral health of
the rising generation are intrusted to the
mother’s administration, and their adminis
tration, unless di reefed by intelligence and
faithful conseieuliousnesa, works untold
misery. An enlightened maternity is a
pressing demand, and he who gives it fur
therance, will prove a benefactor. This
Dr. Wilson is trying to do. For his
journal address “Southern Publishing Com
pany, Atlanta, Ga.’’
Grant's Message.—ln a recent conver
sation the President said, he should, in his ,
message, again recommend legislation on j
Utah ass irs, in order to relieve judicial,
matters in that territory from present em- j
barrassment.
He would, in calling attention to finan
cial subjects, submit a plan not yet fully i
matured, rendering the currency more i
flexible, and preventing it, if possible, from >
being treed as recently, for gambling pur
poses.-—Dispatch to Atlanta Constitution.
The Secretary of the Treasury will re
commend to Congress the restoration of the i
duty on tea and coffee. He shows that :
placing these articles on the free list has
n-a reduced the price to consumers, and I
that the Confrcssknial cry of cheapening
the poor man’s beverages, and making a
free breakfast taqle, has m t pioved a soc- i
ct ss, w her-as these art iclts formerly brought

GWIN NETT COUNTY.
The lands which were advertised for
sale in Lawrenceville, on the first Tues
day in this month, by the subscriber, were
not sold at auction, as was intended, in
consequence of the money crisis now pre
vailing, and the heavy rain which fell dat
ing sale hours. A minimum price was
fixed on each tract, however, and a few
were sold at private sale.
Those described below were not sold,
and are now offered at the price to each
annexed, to-wit:
The Northeast corner of lot number 141,
and a part of number 148, containing about
75 acres. This p’aee lies one mile south
ot the Couit-house, in Lawrenceville, on
the Covington road. There is a dwelling
house, stable, , ell of first-rate water, a
young orchard, and about forty acres of
pretty level gray land in a good conditio i
I for a crop next year; the balance is ail in
the woods. I’riee ?10 per a ire.
The Southeast corner of the same lot,
and part of number 148, making another
tract of about 75 acres. This is all in the
woods, and contains a good deal of branch
bottom, with a beautiful bui ding spot, on
the same road. Price ?7 per acre.
The Southwest corner of number 14L
This is all in the woods, lies well and is
well timbered, except some ten to fifteen
acres, which is a pine old fine. The soil
is good and contains a large proportion of
bottom land. Price $7 per acre.
The Northeast, Southeast and South
west quarters of lot number 140, contain
ing, according to original survey, sixty
two and a half acres eacii. The Cov ngton
! road runs nearly on the Northeast line of
' this lot. and a right of way to the lower
! side of the lot from the road will be re
> serve '. These three tracts are all in the
woods, well watered, and on each could
be opened a nice little farm. Price of
each $7 per acre.
As many of the above tracts will be sold
together as may be desired, or any person
applying can have either alone.
A tract of acres, adjoining Wm. J.

There is a first-rate spring, well improved
and surrounded by the native forest trees,
near the house, and about 75 acres of first
rate red land, now all lying out. The
houses and fences are in bad condition,
but can be made good wiihbut reasonable
cost. The two tracts contain 175 acres.
Price $1,201). Any competent judge would,
on seeing this property, pronounce it very
cheap.
The Hollinsworth place, on the same
road, two mi es from the Court-house.
This place contains 25) acres, number 207,
and has always been considered one of
the best farms in the neighborhood. Im

this lot will be divided into two equal
parts, by running a line across the road,
so as to throw one-half on the side next to

Ambros’ farm, and the purchaser can
have choice of sides at the price aske.l,
which is $lO per acre.
Also, about 75 acres in the Northeast
corner of lot number 130, on the same
road, and adjoining the lands of J. M.
Ambrose and others. Os this tract about

THE ADVANCE
Is designed to promote all the great
interests of our readers especially, and of
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 R<-
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
nor do injustice to any party, oi indi
vidual, knowingly. And, as we ben
cstly believe, that the first and chief care
of all Christians should be to defend our
holy religion against the wiles of Satan -
his hosis aud taelr arms, we will discharge
this sacred duty, as best wo 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 ofiense to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up anj’ one branch of the Church
more than others, nor to injure any one of
them.
OUR RELIGIOUS PLATJPRM.
‘ ; J
We believe that there'is a per
son al God—who created and over
rules all things--that Jesus Christ
is His Son and our Savior, and that
the Holy Ghost is Ilis messenger
and our instructor.
That the Bible was written by
inspiration of God—is true—and
the only safe foundation for
Christian faith and practice.
That the soul is immortal—that
there will be a resurrection of the
dead and final judgment, and that
the punishment of the unre
deemed will be eternal.
And will insist, that all who
agree in these fundamental propo
sitions,and seek salvation through
Christ, constitute his Church, and
should all unite and co-operate
with Him, and each other, in tbe
sacred work of redemption, as an
affectionate family of brothers
and sisters.
