ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
T. J- A.—We have deterred auswering
your questions for numerous reasons, un
necessary to enumerate. Choice poetry we
are always glad to receive. We may as
well admit, however, that in the matter of
poetry, we are somewhat difficult to please.
It gives us pain to refuse contributions of
any kind, and we have therefore never been
very solicitous for those of the character
you mention. We would be glad to receive
coutribations from you in prose of such
character as would be of interest to the gen
eral public—reserving, of course, the right
to decline auy that, in our judgment, would
not subserve the object in view.
J. S. A., Anderson, S. C— By reference
to what to say in another column,
you will easily perceive why the Gazette
has failed to reach you promptly—the won
der to us is, from what the Abbeville Bail,
ner says, that the paper reaches you at all.
We will try the Abbevills route with the
mail for your part of the State a little long
er and if the paper fails to come to hand
more promptly, we will send by Augusta
and Columbia.
“Juvenile.” —We are not sufficiently
posted in the matter of pronouncing words
as to give you the advice requested. The
word “guano,” which you ask us particular
ly about, is pronounced in about as many
different ways as there are letters in it. The
word, we believe, is of Spanish origin.—
Some of our school teachers, perhaps, could
give you the correct way of pronouncing it.
We bold the other subject you mention un
der consideration.
A. E. H.—Your article unavoidably crow
ded out this week, will appear in next issue.

BY UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.
We are informed by unquestionable au
thority that the editor of a paper in a neigh
boring county recently made an offer tc one
of the county officors of Elbert of thirty-five
per cent, of the proceeds for the advertising
of the county in his paper. This action,
besides being plainly unprofessional, betrays
ignorance of the law on this subject as well
as the action of the Press Association. The
following is one of the resolutions adopted
unanimously by that body, to which we in
vite the careful attention of the aforesaid
editor:
“Resolved, That the practice of soliciting
county advertisements from county officers
who are at the time under annual contract
or agreement with a particular paper, is ex
ceeding the rules of legitimate competition,
and that the offering to do such advertising
at reduced rates, or to pay a percentage or
bonus to such officer or officers, as induce
ments to change his or their official journal,
is disreputable, and should subject the of
fender to expulsion under Article VIII of
the Constitution.’'
Expulsion from the Association means al
so to be cut off the exchange list ot all pa
pers in the State.
llymenial.—On Thursday morning last
February 6th at the residence of the bride’s
parents, by Rev. J. H. Grogan, Miss Geor
gia Jones of Elberton, and Mr. C. A. Pearce,
of Augusta, were united in the holy bonds
of wedlock.
“There's a bliss beyond all that the minstrel has
told,
When two, that are linked in one heavenly tie,
With heart never changing and brow never
cold,
Love on thro’ all ills, and love ’till they die.
One hour of a passion so sacred is worth
Whole ages ot heartless and wandering bliss;
And, oh! if there be an Elysium on earth,
It is this—it is this 1”
The happy pair started on a wedding
tour to New Orleans as soon as the ceremo
ny We wish them a de
lightful trip wherever they go, aud a pleas
ant journey through life.
Dry Goods.—We notice in town Mr.
W. B. Vail, who represents and is soliciting
orders for the house of Kean & Cassels of
Augusta. We have spoken in no rneusur ed
terms of this house heretofore, and have
seen no reason to change our opinion. We
regard it as one of the most reliable houses
in Augusta. Where we speak unquestion
ably ot any establishment we utter our
honest seutimeuts, and wc so far believe
in the integrity of the firm above mentioned
that we will stake our unqualified promise
of fulfilled expectations to all who order
from them. We have dealt largely with
them and know what we say.

Farewell Sermon.—Rev. T. P. Cleve
land, who for the past fiue or six years has
ministered to the Presbyterians of this com
munity, preached his farewell seimon in
this place last Sunday evening. Mr.
Cleveland has accepted a call from the
church at Gainesville, where we hope him
and his church will prosper. He leaves
many warm friends here, and we most
cheerfully recommend him to the good
people of the thriving town to which he
Won’t We Though.— When that en
terprising Broad river planter gets his
[steam plow, with grist mill, wheat thresher,
®and gin attachments, won’t we spread our
selves on the advancement of science, &c.,
in Elbert county. We advise the aforesaid
planter to lay in a good supply of proven
der for that iron horse, and what, it don’t
cat will be eaten by the curious, who will
only want to see “how the old thing works,”
you know.

A Scare. —Quite a scare was caused in
town last Saturday by the burning of a
chimney. Fortunately no harm was done
to the building, as the fire was prevented
from spreading by the prompt action of the
occupants ot the house. A gentleman, who
was in something of a hurry tc reach the fire,
stubbed his toe against a negroe’s heal, and
the consequence was a fall ot no little vio
leuce. No bones broken.
Debating Society.—The students of
the Andrew Male High School have organ
ized a debating society. They intend, we
learn, before long, to give public bebates,
probably about once a month. We heartily
endorse the formation of such societies, and
wish it a long and brilliant existence. —
Hurrah for the Andrew Male High School.
A Few More Left. —The apples in
the mountain regions are not all gone yet.
Seven wagon loads came into town last
Monday. Holders asked $2 a bushel; buy
ers were timid, and we hare no sales to
quote.
Another Gin House. —The gin house
of Pleasant Moon, near Broad river, in
Madison county, was destroyed by fire last
Wednesday Dight.
Annexation. —A project is now on toot
to annex a part of South Carolina to Geor
gia. The people directly interested in the
schemes are willing to it, and it is under
stood that Gov. Moses, of South Carolina,
also favors it. The two counties in ques
tion are Democratic, and he will doubtless
be willing to get rid of their influence. A
commission will be appointed by Gov. Mo
ses, who will ask for a similar commission
from Gov. Smith. These two commissions
will sketch out some basis of annexation. —
The territory proposed to be annexed em
braces Oconee and Pickens counties, com
mencing at Andersonville and running the
Seneca river thence to the N. C. line, S. C.
reserving the right to fish, etc., in said Tu
galo and Seneca rivers. This territory was
originally what was known as old Pickens
District. Two very thriving towns, Wal
halla and Pendleton, will be thrown in Geor
gia under the cession of this territory.—
One of these counties —Pickens, we believe
—paid $28,000 State tax last year, and will
consequently be quite a rich plum to put in
the Georgia pudding. We are in for an
nexing anything —except Chattanooga.—
Atlanta Herald.
Through the efforts of Gen. Young, Con
gress, it is thought will appropriate SIIO,OOO

The bill calling a State Constitutional
Convention was voted down last Saturday
by a decisive majority. The bill providing
for weighing cotton also lost.

Gov. Geary, of Pennsylvania, is dead.
Anew trial has been denied Stokes in one
of the N. Y. courts, but an appeal to stay
proceedings will be made to the supreme
court.
As Locusts. —The Charter Oak Stoves are be
coming such universal favorites, and are mak
ing their way into so many households, that it
lorks as if they were destined to cover the face
of the land as the locusts of Egypt Unlike them,
however, they are blessings instead of plagues,
and we wish speed to the consummation.
