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. TLl© Latest News 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 for public buildings in Atlanta. Lt has al ready passed the Senate. 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. ■ ♦ Chapped hands, face, rough skin, pimples ring worm, salt rheum, and other cutaneous affections cured, aud the skin made soft and smooth, by us ing the Juniper Tar Soap, made by Caswell, Hazard & Cos., New York, Be certain to get the Juniper Tar Soap, as there are many worthless imitations made with common tar.
