JAS. U. VINCENT, Editor.
VALEDICTORY,
The chief car»«* of lhe finder
signed becoming connected with
Advance, as an editor, at first was
aft anxious desire to haye a good
paper published at Norcross. It
Afterward became necessary, to
sustain it, that I should become a
part-owner also. But, as I am
happy to inform our reader*, y&dh
Heeewty no> ton ger ez-ift*,
F>*h X- Lt VurtfeftU tklio W* al

practical printer and an experi
enced newspaper publisher, have
become sole proprietors and as
sumed live control of the
establisli-rrie-'ftf.
In their Os the
Advance are cbhsvdered perfectly
safe, and on retiring, 1 cheerfully
commend them to the confidence
Os our patrons and of a generous
and appreciative public. My own
contributions will hereafter, as at
first, be designated by the initial
letters of my name.
JAMES P. SIMMONS.
Norcross, Ga., Dec. 31,1873.
CHANGE IN THE ADVANCE.
Since our last issue we have
assumed entire eowtiol of the Ad
vancb, Hon. James P. Simmons
having retired by BKdu.il consent.
We invite attention to our new
prospectus. We have not been
able to make many changes desir
ed in this issue, owing to our re
moval to new office and our ab
sence from town. We make the
readers no promise as to the fu
ture, but simply request them to
estimate the Advance according
to its merits.
GURUpIMaS IS GONE, AND
WHAT OF IT?
While Christmas morning shed
Its splendors over the earth the
gladsome cry of happy hearts rang
out jubilantly upon the world.
’Twas sung by the robed chw.' of
city cathedrals, was ehafflted in
churches nestled *mi«J forest hills,
was welcomed to roadside cabins
and cottages, and was eehoed by
the lonely traveler upon land and
sea,
“Christmas is here,” rang like
a chorus of gladness from the lips
of reunited families, of frolicsom
chi Wren, of feasting paupprs, and
of released slaves in America and
England, in Russia aM Aby sin--
nia, in Armenia and the islands
of the ocean,
“Christmas is here,” shouted
the bouncing boy as he upwards
tossed his tire-cracker and Roman
candle. “ Christmas is here/’ sang
the rosy cheek girl as she glided
from home to home, and room to
room*, merry-making, “Christ
inas is here,” exclaimed the genial
young man as he sipped from the
bowl of egg nogg ami wine cup,
and “Christmas is here/’ echoed
‘ the blooming young woman as she
whirled in tin* giddy dance.
But “Christmas-is gone.” The
families have parted again, the
entrancing twit has pa.-jul into
silence, the tire tapers have ceas
ed to burn, the poor have gone
back to their year's labor for sus
tenance, and the slaves have re
newed their struggles. Yes.
•‘Christmas is gone,*' and what
meaning has it left us in our toils,
our cares, our hopes and sighs
our joys ami disappointments t
A little brief happiness it hrottgh'
us, but to many a soul it left the
world still dreary—still an unsolv
ed enigma.
“Christmas is gone.*’ To that
refrain in another twelve m nths
may be set a chorus of sadness
and grief. The young man
may learn that the coils ol intent
perance have encircled hint. The
blooming young woman may find
that her excessive midnight danc
ing and exposure have germina
ted the gnawing canker consump
tion.
The Eighteen Hundred sn'
Sev-rßty third “Christmas is
Yes. gone, snrchtireed
with itnmeasu able joy to some,
with immeasurable grief to oth
ers—a Thtgctfy, not Tri
übtfth.
PROF. AGASSIS IS DEAD.
The Imen of .Science every
where mourn the death of I*rot.
Louis Agassis, a hern in the war
between Ignorance and Science
a <d a martyr to the cause of truth
revealed in Nature. No name
among intelligent people is more
illustrious than Louis Agassis.
YA hen a b«»y he resigned hi< pur
j pose of the ministry, and thereby
lost the small pension allowed
him by his parents, Pa<ing .fhc
World penniless he Sheri b<?gan Lis

.ied the fresh-water fcsdies of Eu
rope, and then gave the world
what he learned. For ten years
he walked up and down the rug
ged Alps, and verified his Glacial
Theory. For twenty years he
worked upon a Natural History of
the United States I Born in Swit

of America. Wh«ent be laftded at
’Halifax be rushed to its nearest
search of a trace of a van*
quished ica-Uoe. He found it and
returned to the steamer with a
victory by any record
led upo# the pages of war. This
little incident forms a perfect epi
tome of his life. When he reach
|ed America we cared but little
i-for Science and knew les> ‘Twas
J a day of scien.ific superficially —
; a day of sciolist instead scientists.

and called forth the ?Irw?toring
powers of American Scientists.
Born in pt verty he became rich
without bis .*eeking. Born in cb
scurity he became illustrious
without an ambition for worldly
fame. Born without triends he
.made cheerful friend of Cuvier,
an allv of the fC.ng of Prussia,
helpers of the Emperors of France
and Brazil, abettors of Aftwrieau
millionaires, and lovers of all the
world.
But Louis Agassis is dead. His
stalwart frame,ma**ite Lead and
charming eyes arc hidden in
Death, and his devout spirit now
knows all the proofs of the Great
First. Cause whom he sought so
lofig and patiently on earth.
TALKS WITH (TR FARMERS.
Dining the last w< ok we have
meta large numberrif <L»inftctl
farmers. We find them more
prospeious than we supposed.
They are in favor of a Stale Con

It is located in a section which
has suffered from ack of educa

make DaLlom ga classic ground—
will ere long convince Georgians
that there is as pure mental gold
in the high lands as in the low
lands-.
The Atlanta papers present
their readers with none but the
most futile arguments of their
contemporaries in favor of a State
Convention, and gloat over their
refutation of these as if they eni
bodied ail the points at issue.
Can't the the gentle men handle
the main points in the discussion (

Prof, N. F. Cool edge arrived
here on the l’Bfh ins!., bought, the
beautiful residence of .Mr D. C.
Thrasher, moved into immediate

zen of Norcioss. He is rapidly
improving the Academy building,
has supplied it with pianos, or
gans, and Chemical, Philosophical
and Astronomical app; r dus. He
is an experienced and successful
educator, has the means with
which to further his purposes, and
a reputation and a personal influ
ence which at once guarantees
success.
We call attention to our inter
esting Washington letter, on first
page, which appears late in con
sequence of no issue last week.
We have arrangements comple
ted whereby we will be able to
present our leaders with interest

age of the Instilwfion, when how

to till lhe Prolessors chairs with

TEXT BOOKS,
The judicious selections of text
books by the former Principal,
Fros. Vincent, seems to requirt
but very little change; and no
charge when classes arc already
foimed and books purchased.
This is in accordance with the
view of our advisory committee —
twe i ve ca re fu 11 y sc lect ed me n, t o
whose opini m at d judgment we
shall given most respectful con
sideration.
When it is necessary to advance
(he classes-to the higher Grades,
we shall make 5M.-:i selections? as
*’e deem most judicious, always
however, giving the preference
to authors of our own section of
count r y— the South.
Many of the text books will be
the same as a.r used in the
schools of Atlanta, hence those
cc mrug to our school from that
city will incur but little expense
in t is respect. Books ami sta
tionary used in the school will be
kept in the place and sold at At
lanta prices.

Keetels Elementary ’Feexch Gram
mar.—We have examined.this work closely
and critically. Among many points of ex
cellence we find one that few’ if any of our
text books possess—it is that the book is
w at it purports to be, that is, au “Elemen
tary Grammar.” Prof. Keetels does not
assume that we are familair With .tlje gram
mar of our own or any other language. In
the introduction we have a few plain and
simple rules for pronounciation, then we
have the different parts of speech from the
noun to the interjection, clearly (kfined
with the properties of each. We specially
approve the
his subject. It is clear and intelligible to
the merest child. The trouble wfth most
of our text-books, especially those of for
eign languages, is that they are-mere skele
ton’s, authors understand so clearly, _
themselves, w’hat they desire to teach, they
forget that the mind for Whirfr they ass
preparing books must have evuy idiom,
every peculiarity fully explained before
they can uudeistand. much less appreciate
and enjoy their labor. Prof. Keetels has
been as explicit as possible on this point.
He has. explained every step as he proceed
ed, and when he reaches the verb insie -d
of lcu\mg the student to grope in dark,
for the r ght mood, and right tense to be
used in preparing his exercise, he arranges
the txeicises so that the correct mood and
tense may be seen at a glance. It may be
I objected to this arrangement, that it leaves
but little labor for the student. True, and
' that is jus wi.at we want; we want anl
i “ Elementary Grammar,” and th it is just’
i what this book is. If any arrangement
- .1 make the study of irregif-iiv ver s, the
I students ‘ vete noir” easy and agieeable
’ this work derservessuccess. After the con
' jugation of each irregular verb, he takes
i that as a model and ;-eqi ires the student to
wr t ■ copious exercises upon it. , A gain, 1 s
- i tilt s in Syntax are elementary—that is
confined to the object desired to effect
ed to give the young student an insight
into the first principles of lan
guage.
It Prof. Keetels’ larger ctmrst treats in s
manner s<> logical and lucid as this we cor
dially agree with him, that the student who
pursues bis full course w ill be able to do
two things that he claims for him, that is
read and write the French language. We.
capitally doubt whether any man can speak-
French correctly without a Jong ntercourse
wit'n people speaking go d French. There
I is only one change that has suggested itself
Itous in reviewing this work. Wife would
1 have not only the figured Ixit fbe written
J pronounciation of every word in his vocab
| ularly. I here is not one boy in ten who
will rerhember rules for the peculiarities of
i prou uncial ion, but spell a word for him as
you pjouounce, and it will make a lasting |
i impie-sion on his mind.

We believe in the ro-ed neat ion 'of lhe sexes; <we limit their association ; they meet
only i i the recitation room,’ except in passing’ so hnd from the academy, and during the
( swsixiosion of»regulations pertaining lheijeto, their association to this extent makes
: them more attentive to im rsonal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boys
higher feelings of < onof, for thby dread the opinion of t-irls who scoff at meanness,
littleness and pvofanky. it stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes t env
more capable, of thinking for themselves. It gives boys te tter ideas of true womanhood,
llt gives girls better idea- of true manhood. D elevates both, morally and intellectually,
