Mr. G. W. Wailace will soon move into
his elegant new business houses.
Esquire Burrows has the frame of his

his gin since cotton has reached 13 per

Esquire Arendale has purchased and
greatly improved the house formerly occu

On Saturday we met our townsman, Mr.
Lowry, conducting a young man around
town. The young man contemplates mar
riage about Chi istmas, and was favorably
struck with the advantages of Church
street —the ehief of which is that so many
preachers live on that street. He evidently
supposes it will require much ministerial
aid to sust-.in him in the fiery ordeal into
which he is soon to pass.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A slight collision between an up and
down freight train, occurred here yester
day morning. The facts, as we learned
them from Mr. Thrasher, the agent, and
who saw it, were about these: The down
train was standing for the up one, to pass
each other here. . A new engineer was run
ning the up train, who was never here be
fore, and who was not aware that the depot
was so near, until he saw it. He promptly
ordered on the breaks and reversed his en
gine, but some of his breakmen got scared
and jumped off, one break broke from over
straining and the weight of the train pressed
the engine forward till it struck the one
before it.
The engineer showed both skill and
courage, as we are informed, by doing all
in his power to stop the train and by stand
ing firmly at his post until all was ovci.
The damage was slight; nobody hbrt,
and the cow-catchers only were injured.
T his, we believe, is the fourth accident
which has happened on this road since
through trips have been running, and con
sidering the number of new engineers, con
ductors and others which were necessarily
put on the road when ’ completed, better
success could scarcely have been expected.
It is gratifying to know and to slate also,
that not a single accident has yet happened
the through passenger train on this road.
Travel rs may, therefore, feel as safe on
thia as on any other road in this or any
other country. Credit should be given those
to whom the credit is due.

Wi give place this week to the prospec
tus of the the New York Tribune. The
Tribune, controlled and conducted bj .
American journalists, is one of the very
best illustr itions of the correctness of the
principles which it inculcates, and of the
certainty of the success of legitimate jour
nalism, without resort to political accidents
or artificial sensations. The cardinal idea
of the Tribune Is the diffusion of Intelli
gence among the people, and its recent
valuable letters from the farmers ami prai
ries of the West, its disclosures of the ope
rations of the Brooklyn rings, its graphic
descriptions of Custer's victories over the
Sioux on the Big Horn, and its narrative
of the adventures of the Polaris castaways,
all in advance of any or all of its rivals,
show how well It has realised its ideal
during an exceptionally dull and quiet ,
season. Three are great and recognized ■
triumphs In journalism, though but the •
beginning of what the Tribune promise*. •
The editorial page of the Tribune is fair, ■
free, and indvpcud nt. The equal of any 1
paper In the Intelligence and ability with '■
which it dtocumre all subjects, it leads all
in it* sense of candor, honesty, and fair
play. The Tribune Extra Sheets, origl
naled last winter by that paper, and con ;
tinned in frequent succMsion since, hare
recognised and met a growing popular de- j
manti, and have made the name of the
paper a household word In thousands of
homes. Fur country reader*, the Weraly
Tribune is particularly desirable. It is a
constant educator la every family Much
of its matter to prepared expressly for 1U
column*. without previous pubUcatiou in
the daily, and none of it will bear slighting
or .mxmion. An otveritewM”.l in an. über
column of this paper gives full detads of ;
MRS. L. A. NORRYCE,
teacher of instrumental and vocal music
in Norcross High School. What others
say of her:
Augusta, Ga., October 28, 1872.
It is with unfeigned pleasure and grati
fication that I am enabled to add my
testimonial as a grateful, though humble,
tribute to Mrs. L. A. Norryce, who during
the past year, has been giving lessons in
Vocal and Instrumental Music in Augusta
and in my immediate family.
During the engagement of Mrs. Norryce
in the above relation, she has been un
remittirigly assiduous in her attentions
and thorough in her instruction—all of
which have been communicated in a man
ner so gentle and kind, as at once to
fascinate her pupils ai d to commend her
self in the highest and most satisfactory
degree to her patrons.
A brief acquaintance with this estimable
lady will confirm this testimony, whilst her
many frienbs in Augusta will expect only
to.hear of her complete success in any
position she may choose to select, as a
proper field for her useful and soul-inspir
...gprorwswn, j, al „a r EL OT.
155 Broad street, Augusta.
Augusta, Ga., November 1, 1872.
The bearer of this paper, Mrs. Lizzie A.
Norrvce, is a very worthy, energetic lady
of this citv, who proposes to change her
residence for a home in Atlanta, and ap
plies to me for a letter of recommendation.
I take pleasure in saying that Mrs. Nor
ryce is a lady of more than ordinary intel
lect, intelligence and accomplishments,
and teaches with great success needle
work of all kinds, embroidery, music, etc.
Those who may become the patrons of
Mrs. Norryce, in any of the arts w hich she
professes to teach, will aid a deserving
woman, and be satisfied with the result.
JAMES S. HOOK.
Augusta, Ga., October 29, 1872.
This is to certify that Mrs. L. A. Norryce
has given instruction in music in my
family for three years, and has given the
most perfect satisfaction. Her method of
instruction is very thorough. She is equal
ly proficient in vocal and instrumental
music. I can safely sav that Mrs. Norryce
advances her pupils faster than any other
teacher I ever employed. She deserves to
be patronized. Respectfully,
EDW. PERRIN.
Augusta, Ga., October 28, 1872.
This is to certify that Mrs. L. A. Norryce
has given instructions to my children for
the last three years in music, vocal and
instrumental. From my own judgment
and the testimony of others, she is a lady
of superior talent, and fully qualified to
teach all branches that she uno e .-takes.
Respectfully,
Mbs. M. G. DUNNE.
Augusta, Ga., October 29,1872.
This is to certify that Mrs. L. A. Norryce
has given music lessons to my dautlier,
both vocal and instrumental—and is sorry
that she is leaving, as I think her more
competent to impart than any teacher I
have bad heretofore.
Respectfully,
Mrs. J. S. O’CONNOR.
THE CANTON MAIL ROUTE.
We have received from the citizens of
Hickory Flat their petition for our new
mail route from Norcross to Canton. This
is the second post office on the line to send
in its petition. From private letters we are
informed that the citizens of Canton and
Field’s Cross Roads will forward theirs in
a short time. We hear nothing from Troy
and Freemansville, except that the people
want the route established ; but wanting a
thing and working to obtain’ it are quite
different. Some.of the would-be,leading
men of Alpharetta are indifferent towards
th* whole auterpriae. Jhqy say- “We
have regular mails to' Alpharetta, and that
is all we want.” Such a sentiment is the
embodiment of an . unpatriotic selfihness.
What if Alpharetta has mails, is that any
reason why she should be indifferent to
wards securing mail facilities for one-third
of her county, now almost totally without
mails. Their indifference amounts to little
ness when it is known that the new line
will. give Alpharetta mail facilities equal
to those now enjoyed, and, at the same
time, obtain mail facilities for five times
more people than Alpharetta accommodates
with mails. W e are glad, however, to learn
that such men as Isham and Alfred Tease
ley, Dr. Skelton and Esq. Brown, and
other substantial citizens of Alpharetta,
arc working for the petition. They will
doubtless obtain it despite the whines of
the envious few’ whose every motive
centres in self.
AU interested in this line should remem
ber that the earlier we forward our petition
to Congress the better. Let us have your
petitions that we may forward them in
time to receive the action of the present
Congress.

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 dui
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 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 Re
ports and Atlanta Prices Current t 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 offense to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
build up any one branch of ths Church
more than others, nor to injure any one ot
them.
OUR RELIGIOUS 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
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
C'hrist, constitute his Church, and
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.
