A Letter from Coosa.
Coosa, Ga., Dec. 27,1877.
Editor Couriei—The writer will not
trouble you and the readers of your
valuable paper with politics and the
location of the capital, for every one
kuows the election has been held. At
lanta was voted the seat of Government,
and the new Constitution, which was
made by a convention of true, honest
patriots, has been -atified, but he will
write about a Christmas Tree that he
“aw last Tuesday evening at Sardis
Church.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather quite a large crowd assem
bled at the church to see the Tree and
enjoy a pleasant time.
At early candle-light the exercises
opened with a suitable song by the
Sabbath-school children, after which an
earnest prayer was made by the Rev.
T. C. Crawford. Brief and appropriate
speeches were made by Dr. T. M. Shaw,
the Assistant Superintendent of Sardis
Sabbath-school, and Rev. T. C. Craw
ford, pastor of the church. The pres
ents were then taken off of the Tree
and presented to the owners.
A more beautiful Christmas Tree the
writer has never seeu, and it was load
ed with nice presents well and tasteful
ly arranged.
The comnrttee, Mrs. M. G. Shaw,
R. B. McArver, and Misses Lizzie and
Eva McArver and others, deserve much
credit for the great interest they took
to make the Tree a success, and for
• heir efforts to make the entertainment
as pleasant as possible.
The Sabbath-school at Sardis Church
was organized about three years ago,
with Mr. C. P. Morton as Superinten
dent, and Dr. T. M. Shaw Assistant
Superintendent. Before these genlle-
Tbe next session of Rome Militan men were elected this church, like
Sidney White’s family has been sore- shall receive your reward.”

Jail- Breaking.
On Saturday Dight last five prisoners
who were confined in one of the cells of
the jail in this city succeeding in cutting
through six inches of wood and fourteen
of brick with a pocket knife and got out
into the passage, and came down the steps
in their stocking feet and went out the
back way. Three others were detected
before they got down and secured, and
put into another cell. The five made
good their escape. The followingare the
names of those that escaped, W. B. Rail,
Geo. Johnson, Jas. Johnson, Thos. A.
Wright, W. A. Wright. The three who
did not escape were, J. H. Wheatley, L.
F. Bagon and Broom. Rail and
Wheatly were Uuited States prisoners
charged with counterfeiting. The sher
iff had been down to the fire at Omberg’s
store and came home very much ex
hausted, and had lain down and gone to
sleep leaving a watchman at his post,
but he too fell asleep. As the last one
of the five came down it woke the sheriff
aud he jumped up and ran to the steps
and found the three men in the passage
above. He ran up and secured them.
The sheriff does not know how the prison
ers got possession of the knife,as he had
searched them but a few days before,
and taken from them everything they
had.
The sheriff, Mr. Jenkins, and his dep
uty, Mr, Sharpe, have been endeavoring
effect the recapture of the prisoners,
but have been unsuccessful so far.

Last Saturday night, about 11 o’clock,
the store occupied by Albin Omberg as a
wholesale book and music store was dis
covered to be on fire. The house had
been closed for the night but a little
while, when the strong smell of burning
papers caused passers-by to look in and
the rear end of the store-room was dis
covered to be on fire. The fire alarm
was sounded, and the fire department
urned out in force. Hose was run
through the second story aud turned in
on the fire from the rear door, and tin
flames soon extinguished. The loss t>

goods, is estimated to amount to 82,500

-The Teeth an Advertising Medium.
Every time a lady who uses fragrant
Sozodont opens her month, she adver
tises the article. The state ol her teeth
is a certificate of its excellence. No
spot darkens their surface, no imparity
clings to them, the cushions in which
they are set are rosy, and-the breath
that swells through them is sweet as the

True economy.
It has been found that the only true
economy is that which stops the little
leaks and saveain trifles. For instance,
one saves in milk, b'qtter, eggs and flour
by the use of Dooley’s Yeast Powder,
which is made from the purest cream-
tartar, derived from grape acid. Good
housewives have proved this by expe
rience.

No other medicine in the world was ever
given such a test of its curative qualities as
Boschee’8 German Strep. In three years
two million four hundred thousand small
bottles of this medicine was distributed free

those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other
diseases of the throat and lungs, giving the
American people undeniable proof that
German Syrup will cure them. The result
has been that Druggists in every town and
