\\ e have, on the first day of January, asso
ciated ourselves together in the Furniture
A Coffin business, and ask for the new firm

ofthohair. They also have an olegaut hair
gloss and curl tonic, which imparts a rich

Southern Mutual Insurance Company.
We have been informed that the Directors
of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company,
at their meetiog on the IGth lost., adopted a
resolution for the erection of a handsome and
spacious bnilding. A committee has been ap
pointed to Belect a proper location.
The business of tho Company has Increased
largely—its assets amounting at this time to
over a hnlf million dollars.
The condition of the Company is exceeding
ly gratifying to its many friends. It could
scarcely be otherwise, as long as the manage
ment is left to Judgo Harris, as President, and
Col. Thomas, as Secretary.
Wo congratulate the Company upon having
these two gentlemen as officers, it would be a
difficult matter to find two othors more polite,
more attentive, and better capacitated.
The building will be erected with an eye to
comfort and beauty, and will bo a benefit to
this most excellent Company and an orna
incut to tho city.
Lecture at Dcnpree Hall.
Mr. J. H. Woldridge, a blind Confederate
seidier, who loBt bis eye-sight at the battle
of Perry sviile, Ky., will deliver a lecture at
Denpree's Hall on Thursday night, 22d inst.
Subject: Success in Life. Tho press every
where speaks in high terms of this lecture,
and we hope our citizens will givo him a full
bouse, as we are assured be is a worthy and
deserving man.
Another Spelling Bee.
On Friday night last, a portion of the stu
dents of the University—twenty on each side
—tried thoir skill in spelling, at the College
chapel. The words were selected by Chancel
lor Tncker and Col. Broun acted as “ school
master.” We learn that the forty spellers fell
rapidly—as the contest did not last an hour.
Each gentleman, as he failed was marched out,
to the great amusement of the spectators.
The contest was between the Junior cud
Senior classes, and tho Juniors were victors—
Mr. Landrum being the last man left on the
stage.
Last Call!!
Ali persons indebted to Luckie and Yancey
are requested to eome forward and settle by
tho first of March; after that date all unset
tled accouuts will be placed in the hands of
an officer for collection. L. Schevonell fe Co.
will receive all money and receipt for tho
same. Luckie & Yancey.
The Laundry
Is. or ought to be a complete success. Wo
tried it last week, and take pleasure in Baying
that the washing was done in very superior
style. Tbero need he no further complaint or
trouble about washing, ironing, Sets. Never
have we seen clothing “done up” better, nor
do wo believe it can be done better any where.
While tho work is done in the most superior
style, tho prices are, at tbo same time, mod
erate. Tboso who have trouble in getting
washing done satisfactorily, should, by all
means, try tho Laundry. Wo feel sure they
will have no reason to complain.

Winter Weather.
Wednesday morning of last woek we had
considerable frost here, which seemed to do
but little damage; but-, since that time we
have had a succession of cold nights and morn'
ings which have killed tender vegetables, and,
we fear, destroyed most of tho fruit. Heavy
snows fell during that period in Northorn,
Middle and Western States, accompanied by
freezes.
Early Cotton.
Mr. J. R. Brown, of Hart county, informed
us last week that he bad cotton up and corn
with three leaves. We fear that it has gone
the way of Irish potatoes, beans, &c.
Protracted Meeting.
A religious meeting of much interest was
carried on in the First Methodist church in
this city during the past week, and is still
progressing and the interest increasing. Sev
eral were added to the church on Sunday.
Memorial Day.
Next Monday (April 2Gtb) will be observed
as memorial day in this city. We have not
been furnished with a programme of exorcises,
bnt presume they will be abont as usual.
Tho Passover.
Our Hebrew fellow-citizens are eating “un-
learoned bread” this week, in commemora
tion of the deliverance of their fathers when
the destroying angel passed over their habita
tions and killed all the first-born of Egypt.
It is one of their most solemn observances.
Franklin Conrt
Adjourned on Wednesday last. We reached
Carnesville Monday ovening and left Wednes
day forenoon. The Court business was light.
It is a fortunate thing for the country generally
when there is bnt little litigation—the legal
fraternity, though, do not prosper.
We are under renewed obligations to the
citizens of Franklin for an increase of circu
lation and for a prompt response on tho part
of tho comparatively small number in attend
ance upon Court to our request to settle up.
Several very respectable citizens informed us
that they came to town solely for the purpose
of settling for tbo Watchman aud renewing
their subscriptions.
In Franklin county, as elsewhere, farming
operations aro very much behindhand, owing
to the unfavorable weathei, since the new
year began. The consequence was a very
meagre attendance at Conrt. The bar, too,
seemed to bo considerably tbinBod out. In
addition to the local bar, we saw only Messrs.
Estes and Langston from Hall, Thurmond
and Speer from this county, Shannon and 03-
boru from Elbert, Nethorland from Haber
sham aud Col. Nash from Madison.
We stopped with Mr. J. C. McCarter, tho
popular Sheriff of the county, who has com
fortable quarters and a pleasant word for alt
his guests. Indeed, ho is so clover in this re
spect, that wo are informed bo furnishes good
faro oven to the unfortunates placed under his
charge as jailer.
Commendable.
The excellent order at Doupree's Hall on
Friday night was the subject of general re
mark. It is not often that our young people
conduct themselves so quietly. It may be
owing to the fact that most of tho younger
portion of the audience were pupils of the
Oconee Sunday-School. Whatever may have
been the cause, weacoept the fact gladly, and
hope that always hereafter we may have
equally as good order there.
Small Pox.
Wo learn that Mrs. Mayue denies the ex
istence of small-pox on hor plantation. We
made the statement on the authority ofa gen
eral report to that effect.
A number ot the infected buildings in
Oglethorpo county have been burned.
Wo learn from the Echo that this scourge
has broken out in Wolfskin district, on the
plantation of Mr. W. R. Ellis. The same
paper states that the disease is not spreading
at Antioch.
Not Discontinued.
We aro pleased to state that the night
train on the Athens branch of the Georgia
Railroad has not been disoontinued, and we
hope tljat it will not be done, as it is a very
great convenience to the traveling public.

Wool Factory.
The new manufactory of which mention
was made in our last issue, is to be located at
the foot of East Broad street, and owned
jointly by Messrs. Baily & Fowler. They
propose to manufacture jeans, satinets, dec.,
and do a general wool-carding business. They
will also have, in conjunction with this estab
lishment, a com grist mill.
The necessity for the above establisments
is very apparent. The Athens Factory has
not carded a ponnd of wool for the public for
the last year—having as much of their own as
they can do—add the proximity of this corn
mill to the business portion of our.eity renders
it a very important acquisition.
The engine to drive this mill is en route for
Athens now, and the contract for the mason
ry of the bnilding expires June 1st. So we
can safely say that it will be in operation by
the 1st of July.

the diseases for which it is recommended. I have

males, and can but hope that every lady in our land,
who may be suffering in any way peculiar to their sex,
may be able to procure a bottle, and their sufferings
may not only he relieved, but they may be restored to

unusual heat and dryness, are invariably
accompanied by oxtensive derangements of
tho stomach and liver, and other abdominal

exerting a powerful influence upon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
There is no cathartic for the purpose equal
to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, aa
they will speedily remove the dark-oolored

The Frnlt Crop.
A weak or two ago, we were hopeful of tba
fruit crop, believing it bad escaped the usual
calamities of the season ; bnt we are now
featful that the extraordinary “cold snap”
through which we have jaat passed has de
stroyed all, or nearly all of the plains, peach
es, pears, apples and cherries in this section—
to say nothing’of strawberries, raspberries
and other email fruits. Wo believe blackber
ries, muscadines and persimmons never fail.

The Entertainment ,
At the Deupree Hall on Friday night, for tbo
benefit of tho Oconea Street Sunday-School,
was well attended and was quite a pleasant
affair. Mr. Davie’ Sterooscoptiooa Art Scenes
were very beautiful Indeed, and well worth
the admission fee, regardless of tbs highly
laudable object in view. The natural scones
from Niagara, the White Mountains and Yose-
mite Valley, were, of themselves, worth more
than 50 cents to the lovers of nature.
