Dr. Ray offers his service in the practice of Medicine and Surgery. His residence is at Norcross. novl2-4w Town lots are cheap in Nprcross. . Butter and eggs are bringing a good price. A new blacksmith shop is being erected on the street south of the hotel. The public exercises of the Gordonian Society will be held on the 18th inst. The young ladies of Norcross pay philo penas in four-pound turnips. The Presbyterian congregation at Goshen will move their church to Norcross next year. ■ ■ ■■■■'■■ Judge R. T. Terrell, of Lawrenceville, contemplates moving to Norcross at an early day. A large congregation assembled on Sab bath to hear Rev. J. L. King. They were much disappointed by his not coming. Some of our merchants have received new goods, but the people do not know it. It is supposed the goods are not for sale. The Vincentian Society will give a con cert on the night of 19th ins'., on which day this session of the High School closes. If Messrs. Allen & Jones’ store attracks a deal of trade. They are polite gentlemen, and m ike customers feel they are at home with them. A staunch old fanner came to town the other day to settle up his guano debt. He 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 meal as he gives at his hotel, is too thievish to live and two mean to die. Colonel Willis Jones, the intelligent and pleasant gentleman who has spent the last two summers in Norcross, died suddenly lust week at his home, of congestive chill. Rev. Win. A. Parks, the energetic agent of the American Bible Society, will preach here on next Sabbath. He is an earnest preacher, and our citizens will be pleased and instructed by his sermon. Mr. M. R. Britt left town Monday’ in a two-horse wagon for Ch’rokee county. It js understood he has gone to lay in a sup ply of the “unadulterated ” and eggs for Christmas, He uses neither himself, but hates to see Ins friends disappointed. The citizens of Field's Cross Roads have forwarded us their petition for the Canton Mail Route. There are now but two more petitions lacking—that of Canton and Al pharetta. We commend to the citizens of these towns the zeal and interest manifested 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 1 fl rm. __ ~ i A long train of wagons from the moun ! tains passed through our town on Sunday. ; They were going to church in Atlanta, we ! suppose, for they were loaded with cotton, j corn, apples, whiskey, etc. i ATLANTA MARKET REPORTS.

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.
