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 ring the largest cir- AttmoMi -^-rt BBtaTaMikTxmmxt.

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 ad n*. Small Pics, Now is the time to secure a bargain.

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 —continuously, regularly, all the while im proving.

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. « or, turning to the Vatican, go see Lao- coon’s tortue dignifying pain—a father’s love and mortal’s agony, with an immor tal’s patience blending.
