We refer to this matter simply to state
that there is much misapprehension exist
ing among county officers in regard to it
The law prescribes their duties—these du
ties are obligatory upon theitt—they have
no volition iu the matter—and there is,
consequently, no room for motives of any
sort It is a plain question of duty. It is
their busiuessto do just precisely what the
law directs, without fear favqr ae affection.
The Legislature having considered this
matter of sufficient importance to direct
that Sheriff's sales shall be advertised in
the paper having the largest circulation,
he has uo choice iu the matter. A Sheriff
had as well claim the right to hang one
criminal uuder sentence of death and let
others escape. Iho law is founded in good
sense—the policy of the law is good, and
it ought to be strictly enforced. Plaintiffs,
defendants, and the public generally are in
terested iu giving these matters the great
est publicity possible; and hence, the law
is mandatory—it leaves nothing to the dis
cretion of the Sheriff. It is clearly his duty
to ascertain what paper has the largest cir
culation aud publish his sales i% it, what
ever may be his private predilections or
personal preferences.
These remarks ore general;
idefft6*«tW eSpedffiny V>
who, we believe, will faithfully discharge
his duties as a public officer, so far as he
understands them; but, we think be is,
laboring uuder a misapprehension in this
respect. We remember a young gentie-
mau sent to New York some years ago to
get the Georgia “coat of arms” engraved,
and in his letter of instruction he directed
the engraver to change the attitude of some
of the figures in tho picture. After get
ting an impression of it he submitted it to
our inspection, and we told him it was a
very pretty picture, but was uot the Geor
gia coat of arms. “ Why uotr he asked.
We pointed out the discrepancies. “Oh,
said he,” I know it is not like the old one
—that is too antiquated—it is not in good
taste.” “ Do you think the coat of arms is
a mere matter of taster He assured us
he did, and appeared amazed when we
showed him that the Legislature had
thought it of sufficient importance to pre
scribe, by special act, just precisely what
it should be.
Just so in regard to county advertising.
Some county officers who have not taken
the trouble to iuforrn themselves properly,
think that advertising is a mere matter of
taste, and that they cau advertise wherever
they please; wheu everyone who is prop
erly posted kuows that the intention of the
law is, and the policy of the Legislature
has ' 4 such publications to be

The Business Oni
In view of the very great hilling off in
the crops this year—we mean fallipg short
of the promise of unusually hd&9^ crops,
which, at one period during the season,
was certainly very flattering—many per
sons seem to be discouraged and take a
gloomy view of the future. )
While it is true that crops of both corn
and cotton will fall short of the estimates
made sometime ago, and that the’ price of
cotton is low, we still think that the per
spective condition of the country is better
now than it was this time last yean. There
are several reasons for this. Our people
have not mortgaged their cropffrols year,
they have not gone heavily in debt for fer
tilizers—they are making a better supply
of provisions than usual—making their
farms self-sustaining. Whatever money
their cotton brings will, therefor%~be their
own, and with it they can pay their debts
and purchase such articles as their forms
do not produce. If any of them should
be compelled to buy corn, it will probably
be cheap, as there is a larger crop this
year than ever grown before. When far

Trade Reviving.
We have been pleased to observe, during
the past fortnight, daily increasing eviden
ces of a revival of trade. Wagons from a
distance begin to crowd our streets, and
people from the surrounding country are
daily visiting our city. Our merchants, in
the meantime, are receiving their Fall
stocks of goods—some of whom have al
ready made due announcements of the fact
through our columns, and all of whom, we
trust, will do so as soon as they get their
goods opened.
The sound of the hammer, saw and trow
el is heard on every side, and all the man
ufacturing industries of the city appear to
be prospering.
Athens is, as usual, going steadily ahead

To an up-countryman the magnificent
dry goods palace of James A. Gray A Co.,
of Augusta, is a perfect show, in its vast
extent—occupying Nos. 194 and 196 Broad
street, and filling the vast building from
cellar to garret, with an immense stock of
the choicest dry goods, which we are as
sured are sold at astonishingly low prices.
The senior partner is a warm-hearted Irish
man, and every body about the establish
ment—proprietors, clerks, porters and er
rand boys—are polite in their attentions to
strangers and customers. Be sure to go to
Gray’s when you visit Augusta. It will be
seen that they invite the people of Athens
and surrounding country to give them a
call. We feel sure that all who do so will
be pleased with their visit.
