Gliues’ Patent Slate Rooting Paint.
We wish to call the attention of our
citizens to the above named great pro
tection against fire and the natural de
cay of roofing materials. This paint is
made of pulverized slatestone, mixed
with other ingredients, and when spread
on a roof forms a thin but perfect coat,
as hard as solid slate, impervious to
water, and nearly as good protection
against fire as any metallic roofing.
It costs only SO cents a gallon, and
two gallons will cover a square 10 by
10 feet on shingle roof, or about four
times that space on tin or iron roofs.
This paint has been successfully tested
in Rome by Capt. Frank Woodruff, C.
O. Stillwell, George W. Bowen, J. N.
Norris, and several others.
While this isagreat protection against
fire, it at the same time causes a shin
gle roof to last at least twice as long as
it would without the paint. By the
use of this paint old roofs are made
nearly as good as new, as it fills up all
little crevices and stops all small leaks.
Thos. J. Perry is agent, and will give
all necessary information. For the
protection of our city, wc hope that at
least all shingle roofs on Broad street
will be covered with this fire proof pro
tection without delay.

Compliments to an Old Citizen.
At the recent election fur justice of
the peace in Comanche county, Texas,
our old friend and citizen, Judge
Nathan Yarbrough, was a candidate,
lie had two opponents. Yarbrough
received 140 votes; one of his oppo
nents received 42, and the other 22,
which goes to show that the Judge is
deservedly popular in his new home,
as he always was in his old home.
We congratulate the citizens of
Comanche in securing the Judge as a
citizen and as a judicial officer, for lie
is in every way competent and an
honest man—one who will do justice
without fear, favor or affection to any
one. lie filled many important posi
tions of trust, and always filled them
satisfactory to all concerned, and with
credit to himself. Long may he live!

A visit to C
To the Editor of tho Courier.
A recent visit to the beautiful village
of Gave Spring inclines me to speak of
some tilings not uninteresting to tho
good citizens of old Floyd. The writer
of this article has no end to subserve
other than to pay a just tribute to the
refined and hospitable people amongst
some of whom about twenty years ago
lie lived.
Of the citizens who were at that
time living, your correspondent had
the pleasure of greeting Dr. Culbertson,
Mrs. Brown (then Miss Evahla Cul
bertson), Mrs. Joshua Simmons, and
others equally esteemed. Amongst
those who have since settled at the
place, and with whom the writer was
acquainted over twenty years, was the
Itev. 1>. 15. Quillian, Mrs. Holt—(with
tliis lady I boarded and went to sliool
in Cokcsbcrry, Abbeville District, 8. C.,
about the year 1832, and who was
styled by LaFayetto tho handsomest
woman in America).
I made the acquaintance of I’rofessor
l’hilimon P. King, principal of Hearn
Male Institute; also Rev. Mr. Brown,
from whom on Sabbath I heard one of
the ablest and most profitable sermons.
On Monday I partook of his hospitality
in company with bis family, and Prof.
King and lady.
Long and kindly will I remember

agreeable tctc-a-lclc that beguiled a very’
pleasant hour. Miss Ida K. Cottrell
was also one of the guests. She has
A Noble Charity.
The Mocking Bird Minstrels, true to
their generous instincts, have deter
mined to give one of their splendid
musical entertainments at the City
Hall on Friday night, the 2Gth inst..
for the benefit of the poor children of
tho city. The programme presented
will he a pleasant one, and the grate
ful charity which inspires their motives
will commend the entertainment to the
favor of all who have it in their souls
to make glad the hearts of the poor.
The plan set forth by the manage
ment is to present a rare bill of enter
tainment to our people, charging 50
cents admission to all, the gross receipts
to be expended in gifts to be distributed
by Santa Claus to the poor children
who will be collected in the Hall for
the occasion.
A committee of gentlemen has been
appointed to gather up the deserving
poor, and to give each child an admis
sion ticket, with a gift coupon attached,
which will entitle the child to a
present. The committee will also have
charge of the financial arrangements,
tho reception of the admission fees, and
the purchasing of present®.
It is a noble charity, and the Mcck-
g Birds arc entitled to all praise for
its happy conception. We trust that a
liberal and generous public will re
spond to their grateful effort.

Immense Results from Advertising.
To the Editor of the Courier.
A few days since the publisher of a
leading newspaper called at our manu
factory, and requested me to give him
our expenence as u, tho results of
newspaper advertising. They are these:, occurred from burnioi
One year ago we ordered a little
advertisement to be inserted in the
Rome Courier and other leading news
papers throughout the United States,
During the past twelve months 10S,000
persons answered the advertisement.
The letters poured in from every State
—clergymen, merchants, ladies, work
ing girls and working men asked our
assistance through life’s great struggle.
Our letters increased from tw^to over
one thousand in a single day. The
average was 350 letters a day the year
through.
Thousands sent us letters of thanks
and flooded us with orders, and we
were compelled to find a larger build
ing to manufacture our goods and meet
the great demand. Wc built up our
business as it were in a day by news
paper advertising, and wc are now
confirmed in our belief that there can
be no plan adopted to make a business
or to increase a business so rapidly as
newspaper advertising.
We have found it to be the great pro
pelling power of the business world,
and no business man can invest money
that will pay so largely and rapidly as
judicious advertising in the weekly
newspapers of America.

Court House Burned.
Newton, Baker County, Ga.,
December IS, 1873.
Our court house, with nearly all of
the county records, was destroyed by
fire this morning. The ordinary care
lessly left a fire in his office when he
left it last night, and at 15 minutes to
1 o’clock this morning, the whole in
side of the building was discovered to
he in flames. There was nothing saved
from the building. All the papers and
records of the ordinary’s office were
lost.
The clerk of the court had at his
store record of deeds No. 20, two re
cords of mortgages—B and C—execu
tion docket from November term, 1S59,
bar common law docket from Novem
ber term, 1S69, record of homesteads,
penal bond book, and civil supreme
docket, all of which were saved. All
the other records of his office were de
stroyed.
The court house was a splendid
wooden building, and cost in 1S50,
85000. The loss will fall pretty hard
on us just at this time.

Hearn School. Gave Spring.
We take pleasure in calling attention
the advertisement of the above
named most excellent school. Prof. P.
. King has bad charge of it during the
past six years, and has established an
enviable reputation both as an educa
tor and as a disciplinarian. Take him
for all in all, lie has few equals as a
teacher, especially for boys, in the
State. Cave Spring is proverbial for
good health and morals, and is noted
for its schools.
Beware of profanity towards news
paper men. The Boston man who was
cursing an editor the other day fell
dead on the spot, and other cases of
the same sort are reported.
In Colorado, however, no man ever
fell dead while hurling vigorous ex
pressions at an editor. As soon as the
visitor begins to manifest premonitory
symptoms of that sort of thing the Col
orado editor quietly shoots him before
tbc swearing comes in.
