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. C . ROA. CH , MERCHANT ELBEBTON, Q--A.- $75,000 in cash for sl.— We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of the Nebraska State Orphan Asylum. Here is a chance to vin a fortune in a Public Legal Drawing, and aid a noble charity.

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. mchl9—2t.
