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. Kerosene Oil for sale by Allen & Jones. 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. ” Ladles’ and gents’ shoes cheap at Allen ■A Jones’. 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. Sugar cured hams at Allen it Jones’. 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 mercial. 1 III—I 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.

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 twen*y millions reserve every year.

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.
