Judge R. T. Terrell, of Lawrenceville,
contemplates moving to Norcross at an
early day.

Some of our merchants have received

It is supposed the goods are not for sale.

A staunch old fanner came to town the

told us he had just as soon a man would
spit ih his face as to mention guano to him.
The man that would try to jew “Cousin
John” down from fifty cents, for such a

The citizens of Field's Cross Roads have

by the citizens along the route.
Hon. John B. Richards made us a brief
t ail on Saturday. He says lots of money
is locked up by oiu' farmers, because they
are afraid to trust banks or other corpora
tions with it. If’tbis be true it is to be
hoped our farmers will use their money in
the furtherance of home industries. They
need factories and other home facilities,
and they have learned that money invested
at home pays best.
On the night of the Sociable, the estima
ble wife of one of our citizens was suffering ;
so much with neuralgia she could not at- ■
tend. The husband went out, and, when
he returned, his wife, lying ujion the bed
and still suffer ng, asked him: “ How did :
you enjoy the Sociable?” “O,” said ha, '
“ I had the nicest time imaginable, crack- I
*ng Brazil nuts for and talking to that
pretty young widow.” “ What young
widow, sir? ” said she, and up she sprang,
and not another word has been said aboV
neuralgia.

Early last week a committee of young
gentlemen began sending out invitation
cards to a Sociable on Friday night. Young
and old alike were invited, and on the ap
pointed night the Chapel Room of the
Academy presented a scene of gaiety and
beauty. Old folks talked and laughed like
so many merry children; handsome young
men and beau’iful young ladies glided from
glace to place with the grace of connois
seurs ; or else they sat tete-a-tete, eloquent
ly portraying the beauties of distant land
scapes, the grandeur of mountain®, the
l loveliness of meadows embosoming lakes
of crystal waters, or else catching the in
spiiation of the occasion they roamed in
happy mood the fields of Poetry, culling
and exchanging the most beautiful bou
quettes wrought by the divine art; or else
(though of course improbable) they whis
pered, in “accents soft and sweet,” the
feeling of hearts touched and tuned in
unison by the angel of Love—while en
rapturing music from piano, organ, and the
soft sweet voice of woman filled the room
with harmonies and echoed its entrancing
symphonies back and forth amid the waves
of the balmy midnight air. All enjoyed
and will long remember that Sociable.
McElroy & Lively’s new building is
about completed. It is built of pebbles and
stones united by morter—called concrete.
It is for'y by sixty feet and has two stories.
The lower story is divided into two busi
ness rooms, both of which are well adapted
to any mercantile business. One of these
rooms is to let, the other will be occupied by
the old reliable firm of McElroy, Lively &
Co. The upper story is divided into eight
well-ventilated rooms with suitable heating
apparatus. All these rooms arc to rent.
When this I uilding will have been fin
ished according to design, it will bo the larg
est and best adapted business house on the
Air-Line between Atlanta and Gainesville.
It is an ornament to our town and reflects
credit upon the taste and enterprise of the

CHEAP HOMES,
AND ON LONG TIME
FOR S VI.E T>’
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 dur
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 place lies one mile south

the woods. Price $lO per a :re.

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 building spot, on
the same road. Price $7 per acre.
The Southwest corner of number 141.
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 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 each. The Covington
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

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.

rate red land, now all lying out. The
houses and fences are in bad condition,

on seeing this property, pronounce it very
cheap.

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 asked,
which is $lO per acre.

corner of lot number 130, on the same
road, and adjoining the lands of J. M.

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; 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 Polities the ADVANCE will be
independent; but it will not be partisan,
nor do injustice to any party, oi indi
vidual, knowingly. And, a»<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, wc 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 ofleuse to any professed Christian
on account of difference of opinion, and
will not, through this medium, attempt to
Tiuild up any one branch of tho Church
more than others, nor to injure any one ol
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 fina l 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 s
Christ, constitute his Church, and >
should all unite and co-operate
with Him, and each other, in the
sacred work of redemption, as an j
affectionate family of brothers
and sisters.
