Sensational News. —Last week the
fiends of Mr. Thos. J. Blackwell were
greatly troubled by a dispatch that appear
ed in the southern papers, and which read
as follows;
New York, March 20.—Thomas J.
BLckwoll, a dry goods merchant of Llber
ton, Ga. f while en route to New York, left
a lrieud while the train was at W llimngton,
Delaware, ou Tuesday, to go in the smoking
car, and has not since bceu heard ot. lie
had considerable money in his possession.
Everybody concluded that foul play had
been used in order to rob him. In the city
ol Augusta we did uot fiud a man but what
believed he was dead, as, according to the
dispatches, he had been missing two days.
On Friday, the 21st, Mr. C'. A. Pearce, a
young gentleman of Augusta, aud friend of
the missing gentleman, sent a dispatch to a
Iriend in New York, making some inquiries
relative to the disappearance. About 7
o'clock that evening, he received the follow
ing, which proved a great relief to all con
cerned :
New York, March 21, 1873.
(J A Pearce, jLugusta O'a :
T J Blackwell is all right. He came in
last night. T. A. Jones.
We regret that thoughtless parties men
tioned the first dispatch to the family of the
young gentleman, and llieir Mings can be
better imagined than described. Fortunate
ly news of the last telegram reached them a
few hours afterward, and their mourning
was turned into joy. We have known fatal
results from sensational dispatches of this
character, and we think the Press Associa
tion should exercise a little more discretion
and care in sending news over the country.
Locals.—The other day we overheard a
geutlewan of high standing in our town,
say to another citizen, “the only objection I
have to the Gazette is, that they do not
m as much attention to their local column
Zthey should.” This remark pained us a
little at first, (we having such a high regard
for the gentleman) so that we were unable
to speak, but after we had hid our lace in
our red bandauna, in order to hide our gnet,
ltichard became himself again and said,
“How can we publish locals, when nothing
of a localuature transpires of interest/
He then said “that a great many things hap
pened in town of interest, that he for one
would be glad to see iu print.” We told
him “we would try uud do better in fu
ture,” he withdrew the objection, and we
left intending never to say anything about
riie ouufab, but things being dull ai.d "lo-
cals” few, wc will do “as much as” publish
it for his benefit.
The Elberton Literary Club —This
interesting body is rnakiDg rapid progress
on the road to fame. Steps are now being
taken that will make this Cluo one of the
most popular, improving and pleasant places
of resort, that was ever established in El
berton. We take great pleasure in speak
ing as we do of this organization. We
would a'so say that great'credit is due the
founder of this body, and we hope that when
the present generation shall have passed
away, the Elberton Literary Club will live
to be a blessing and a source of pleasure to
our children. All those that are fond of
listening to choice selections of literature,
excellent criticisms and essays, will not fail
to attend this Club. The Club convenes
every Thursday evening, at seven aud a
half o’clock, in its room in the Masonic
building.
A Big Smoke. —The town of Elberton
was again aroused by one of those alarms of
lire, which bitter experience has taught us
so to dread. The alarm was caused by
smoke issuing from tbe roof of the house oc
cupied by Mr. Daveopoit. But a minute’s
time was necessary to draw a crowd with
buckets and water, a minute more and the
shingles were flying fiom the roof and water
applied freely. The fire, il fire there was,
was soon extinguished, and no harm done.
Parties who were present seem to doubt the
existence of fire in the roof, and say the
smoke came from rooms in the house, the
result of bad flues, or something of that
kind.
Music. —ln the Gazette some time ago,
might have been seen a notice of a “Violin
for sale.” The owner not having as yet
disposed of the instrument, asks us to say
that any one desiring a violin, and not feel
ing able to purchase, can rent the instru
ment at the rates of $5 per annum, and at
the expiration of that time, if the party
is pleased with his bargain, will make rea
sonable deduction for the renting of the
violin thereafter, or rather than quarrel,
lie will make a present of this excellent fid
dle to the man who rented it, he having
paid the $5 in advance. The violin can be
seen at the Gazette office “without money
and Without price.”
The Debating Club.— This society
lately organized in Klbcrton, is still living
and we learn in a flourishing condition. —
We arc glad to see that the young men
take so much interest in debate, we would
advise them not to lose their zeal, hut to
“keep the hall rolling” as some of our best
orators made their beginning in such socie
ties, and who can say but that some day'a
participant of the Andrew Mule High
School Debating Society, may hold large
audiences spell-hound by their flow of
knowledge and eloquence first acquired by
attending societies of this nature.
Colleoe Avenue.— This is the name
(and by the by very appropriate) lately giv
en by some of the “young bloods” sojourn
ing here, to the street ruuning out of
Elberton towards Jones’ Ferry. This is
a very pretty street, and perambulators will
fiud it delightful if they will take “College
Avenue” iu their course. Any further in
formation on this subject can be had by
calling at this office and subscribing for the
Gazette.
Sunday School Celebration. -The
Elberton Sabbath School, we learn, antici
pate a festival of this kind on or about the
first of May. We fully endorse this move
as one that is inclined to build up the Sun
day school, and be a source of great pleas
ure to all who have the opportunity to par
ticipate. We say have the celebration by
all means.
-—•
The New Male Academy.— This build
ing is approaching completion, aud be
fore long, the teachers and students of
the Andrew Male High School can repair
to their new house, where they will no doubt
feel more at home. This edifice when com
pleted will add considerably to the appear
ance of that portion of town, and be one of
best houses of this kind ever erected in El
berton.
Fine Wheat. —We notice on Mr J.
L. Deadwyler’s lot, some of the finest wheat
we have seen or heard of. Wc will venture
to say that it will average as much as any
body’s wheat to the acre, provided no
misfortune befalls it.
-
Radical Rule and Robbery in Ala
bama Illustrated. —The Montgomery
Advertiser says very nearly sixteen thous
and acres ot land are advertised for sale for
taxes in Perry county alone. A similar av
erage throughout the State would give a to
tal of oue million of acres ! This land will
average in value five dollars per acre—
whence we inter that not less than five mil
lions of real property aic advertised to pass
under the tax gatherer’s hammer.

ATTENTION, CAPITALISTS!
TREASURY OF GEORGIA,
Atlanta, March 10, 1873.
An Act of the last Legislature authorizes‘and
directs the Governor to issue bonds of the State
of Georgia to the amount of twelve hundred
thousand dollars, with interest at
EIGHT PER OZETsTT
payable semi-annually in April and October.
These bonds will bear date Ist April, 1873,
and will become due in annual installments of
One Hundred Thousand Dollars,
on the Ist day of April, 1875, and the like
amount on the same date each year thereafter
until the whole amount authorized is paid—to
wit: on the Ist day of April, 1886. Appropri
ation is made for their paj-ment and the annual
interest in the act authorizing their issue,which,
being part of the contract,
IS IRREPEA EARLE.
Being relieved from State, county, and muni
cipal taxation, their purchase amounts to almost
a ten per cent, investment, to which the attention
of Trustees, Guardians, Executors, etc., is espe
cially called; and as they are issed in part for
redemption of overdue Bonds of the State, most
of which bear only six per cent, interest, they
are offered at par for these securities.
Their number, sizes, and time of payment will
be as follows, viz :
1,600 bonds of $250 each, due in 1875,
1876, 1877, 1878 $400,000
800 bonds of SSOO each, due in 1879,
1880, 1881, 1882 400,000
400 bonds o 1 SI,OOO each, due in 1883,
1884, 1885, 1886 400,000
The Bonds are in the hands of the engraver,
and will be ready for issue very shortly after they
are received from him. Meanwhile, all who de
sire to exchange or invest can, by forwarding
their old bonds or the currency to this depart
ment, receive certificates, if the bonds should not
be ready, drawing interest from the date of the
bonds; and on uotice given of their completion,
the certificates can be brought forward and the
bonds delivered.
