THE GREAT BONANZA DISCOVERED AT
LAST!
It is Located In Banks County!
Wbtle in Homer last week we saw a portion
of the skeleton of an Indian, which has been
recently exhumed in the Hollingsworth neigh
borhood, and connected with which there is a
curious history.
Some five or six years ago, Capt. I. W. Alex
ander, while on % visit to Alabama, learned
from an uncle residing there, who is superin
tendent of the county poor-house, that a very
aged Spanish woman who died in that institu
tion and who had resided for many years
among the Cherokee Indians in Georgia, bad
frequently told him of the fabulous richness

SILVER mine
located in what is now Banks county. That
is, she so accurately described the location that
Capt. A. felt confident it was in the neighbor
hood of Hollingsworth. After his retnru to
Georgia be determined to hunt for this won
derful mine—which he did, from lime to time,
as opportunity offered, but without success,
until recently his long search was rewarded
by finding what he supposed to be the identi
cal spot described. He commenced
AN EXCAVATION,
where it seemed, from tho large amount of
broken quartz, that mining had been carried
ou before. After removing the small loose
rocks to the depth of about two feet, be un
covered
A HUMAN SKELETON,
which ho believed to be that of an Indian, from
the beads and other trinkets found buried
with it.
The qnartz, or whatever it is, appears to bo
rich in some mineral, which is believed to be
silver. The supply is said to be inexhaustible
and beyond computation—there being exposed
to view
MILLIONS OF TONS !
If it is silver, it is the richest asd most exten
sive mine in the world. Tho great Nevada
'* bonanza" is a mere minnow in comparison
with this whale !
We brought away a sample of tho ore, which
we placed in the hands of a scientific gentle
man for examination. He has promised to re
port in a day or two. We await his opinion
with much anxiety. In the meanwhile, we
beg our readers to keep cool and not get ex
cited.
We beard in Homer that the State Geolo
gist bad pronounced the oro superior to any
found in Nevada, but Mr. Alexander assured
us that he had not bad any report from him.
Missing Letters.
Among the many letters which have failed
to reach “ theso headquarters” within the past
few weeks was one from Col. Price, of Dab-
lonega, containing a remittance of five dollars
This thing has become an intolerable nuisance,
and we are very tired of it. Besides the actual
loss of uiuney, it has caused many of onr friends
to accuse us of want of proper attention to
business. If the parties who abstract our let
ters from the mails will let them passthrough
unmolested, we will make a liberal division
with them of onr cash receipts. Or, if this
proposition does not suit them, we implore
them to permit the letters to come on after
they abstract the money enclosed. Any thing
will bo hailed as an improvement.
■embly—all the Synods from Maryland to
Mexico forming the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the South. This lat
ter body meets next month at St. Louis. In
all matters of discipline, an appeal can he
taken from each of these four courts to the
one next higher, &e decision of the General
Assembly being final.
Anguata Presbytery, at its recent session,
received reports from, its various churches,
considered and discussed various topics;of in
terest to the church, and arranged for the sup
ply of its vacant churches and destitnte field,
by appointing Rev. R. W. Milner as Evange
list, or Home Missionary, for the Presbytery
Measures were also initiated for missionary
work among the oolored population. Daring
the meeting, night service was held in the
Presbyterian cbnrcb, and the pnlplts of fonr
of our city churches (the Presbyterian, Bap
tist, first and second Methodist) were filled by
ministers of the Presbytery on the Sabbath
Rev. Henry Newton was Moderator of the
body, and Rev. Dr. Irvine and Col. J. A. Bil
lups were chosen as Commissioners to the Gen
oral Assembly.
An interesting and appropriate close of the
meetiog was a missionary sermon on Sabbath
afternoon by Rev. L. H. Wilson ot Clarkesville,
a son of Missionary parents and born in India.
The sermon was very impressive and all the
more so because by a minister horn in Asia—
whoso mother was once a member of the
Athens Presbyterian Church.
The meetings of Presbytery were interesting
and it is hoped that the abundant and excel
lent preaching by the visiting members will
yield great and permanent results among our
people. L.

The School at Homer,
Under the management of Mr. W. H. Simp
kins, we are pleased to learn, is quite pros
perous. Mr. Simpkins, although a young
man, is admirably qualified for teaching, and
our Banks frieuds residing iu the reach of Ho
mer have the opportunity of sending their
children to a good school.
Wo do not mean to convoy tho impression
that there is but one good school in Banks.
By uo means ; but that this is one of the best
in the county.
“ Gone, Glimmering.”
Wo learned at Homer last week that the
Clerk of the Superior Court of Banks county
had “ stepped down and out” aud gone to
“ parts uuknowu." Tho venerable Col. Turk
has been appointed to fill the vacancy.
The “ Spelling Bee,”
At Deupree nail, on Monday night, by a
class of the Ladies' Memorial Association and
obb of the Knights of Pythias, was quite an
interesting and enjoyableaffair. The individual
contest fora Webster's unabridged dictionary
was long and well sustained, hut Mr. Blanton
Noble was finally declared victor. Quite a
large sum was realized from sale of tickets,
which was divided between the Memorials and
the Knights of Pythias.

may not only be relieved, but they may ho restored to
health and strength.

Oconee County.
We had the pleasure of spending last Wed
nesday (election day) in Watkinsville, the
connty-site of the new county of Oconee, and
were pleased to meet a large number of old
friends.
There were nnmerous candidates before the
people, and it mast have been bard for the vo
ters to determine who to support, where so
many good men were in the field, and it onght
to be really gratifying to those who were hon
ored with office, under the circumstances.
We spent the day quite pleasantly, and wjre
kindly treated by the hospitable peoplo of this
young capital.
We wish the new county and its people life
long prosperity; though we regret that in the
division, old Clarke has lost some of its most
valuable and clever citizens.
The following is the reanlt of the election:

No Person can take these Bitten
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar
Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that
ever sustained the sinking system.
Bilious, Remittent, and Intermit*
tent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the
valleys of onr great rivers throughout the
United States, especially those of the Mis
sissippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Bed, Colorado, Bra
zos, Bio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile,
Savannah, Roanoke, James,and many others,
with their vast tributaries, throughout onr
entire country daring the Summer and Au
tumn, and remarkably so daring seasons of
unusual heat and dryness, are invariably
accompanied by extensive derangements of
the stomach and liver, and other abdominal
viscera. In their treatment, a purgative,
exerting a powerful influence upon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose equal
to Dr. J. Walker’s Vejeo.vb Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at the same time stimulating the
secretions of the liver, and generally restor
ing the healthy functions of the digestive
organs.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headaohe,
Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness
of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of
the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bil
ious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart,Inflam
mation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of
tho Kidneys, and a hundred other painful
symptoms, arc the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee of
its merits than a lengthy advertisement.

lings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of tho Skin, Sore Eyes,
etc., etc. In these, us iu all other constitu
tional Diseases, Walker’s Vinegar Betters
lmvo shown their great curative powers in
the most obstinate and intractable oases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Bemittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these
Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are
caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, suoh as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
to paralysis of tho Bowels. Tb guard
against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vin-
eg ut BrrreRS occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Emptious, Tetter,
Salt Bheuiu, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pus
tules, Boils, Carbuncles, Bingworms, Scald

nature, aro literally dug up and carried out

these Bitters.
i‘iu.' Tape, and other Worms, lurk
ing in the system of so many thousands, aro
effectually destroyed and removed. No sys
tem of medicine, uo vermifuges, no anthel-
minitics, will free tho system from worms
like theso Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young or
old, married or siugle, at the dawn of wom
anhood or tho turn of life, these Tonic Bit
ters display so decided on influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Jaundice.—In all cases of jaundice, rest
assured that your liver is not doing its work.
The only sensible treatment is to promote
the secretion of the bile and favor its re
moval. For this purpose use Vinegar Bit-
TEliS.
