for handsome typography, high-toned literature

Observations — Fine weather for farm
er3.
C hick on Z''doodled uni is making those
fowls scarce in some parts of town.
The Audrew Male High School Debating
Society still lives* Long may it flourish.
The editor-in-chief of the Gazette is ab
sent this wet:k. “Good-bye John, don t
stay long.”
The street leading out of Elberton to
wards Baker’s Ferry, has been 'lately chris
tened “Liberty ”
Our young friend J. F- Shannon, L~q ,
started for Atlanta last Monday, to give his
Excellency, Governor Smith, a talk in be
half of West Tate, colored, who is sentenced
to he hung on the 25th of this month.
You might have seen our energetic Mar
shal, Mr. J. L. Deadwylcr, busy putting
the streets and sidewalks of Elberton in good
order, on last Thursday aud Friday, but we
did’nt see many of the students of the An
drew Male High SSchool among his “clod
knockers.”
Attention, All'— Have you seen those
pretty straw goods at Swift. Arnold & ? U
you have cot, then you've missed a treat,
end our word for it you II not loose anything
by giving them a call, for they will suit you
Dot only in the straw depariuent, hut with
almost anything you desire. Weave under
obligations to the junior partner of this en
terprising young firm for the presentation
of a very stylish hat, and we hope that he
may have a long and brilliant career in the
mercantile business. Much success to the
new firm. I tell you beys if you want to
“runk,” go the “little store or, the corner.”
The Bakery —As Dr. Edmunds has
gone to considerable expense in fitting up
a bakerky in Elberton, and as we know it
will prove a great accommodation in future
lfkept up, we hope the citizens ot the town
and country will exert themselves to make
it pay expenses, if no more, until the real
merits and advantages become known. The
baker employed is a good one, who fully
understands his business, and the prcduc
tions of the bakery ere equal to those any
where we have been.
Death.— Mr. Jonathan G. Nelms, an
old resident and much respected citzen di
ed at his home in this county on featurday
evening last. Mr. Nelms was Sheriff of
this county for thirteen years, and had ma
ny warm friends. He was buried on last
Monday with Masonic honors.
Some Cigars.— Jas. A. Sanders & Son
i have favored us with some of the finest ci-
I gars we have seen in Elberton. They are
of’ genuine . Havanna tobacco, and cost in
market S3OO per thousand. They make an
appreciative smeker’s mouth water.
We have also to acknowledge from the
same house several packages ot smoking to
bacco of the “L o” brand, a good article—
ail through the courtesy of ‘‘Little Jim,”
the price j of good fellows.
A Panorama in Elberton. — An en
tertainmeut is announced in Elberton next
Saturday night ot Prof. Jordan’s Champion
Grand Panorama, the programme of which
we find embraces many familiar pictures of
merit and instruction. The list of pictures
is lengthy and attractive, aud wu are assur-
ed by the agent that there is no humbug
about the entertainment. The price of ad
mission is small— 30 cts. —children between
five and twelve, 20 cts.; children under
five, aud ministers of the g sped, free. \A id
ows and their families at one-lhird the reg
ular price.
Don’t forget that the Elberton Literary
Club convenes every Thursday evening,
in their room ic the Masonic building.—
Everybody is cordially inviteud to at
tend.
The Lost Merchant Accounted For.
Mr. T. J. Blackwell states positively that
the report of his being lost, is false ; that at
the time the report was circulated lie was
deep in a labyrinth of goods in New York
where be was making selections for this
market ; that when his friends came to look
for him he was hid in anew suit of cloth', s
which so completely disguised him that he
could not be recognized, lie brought lots
of those clothes with him, besides Dress
Goods, Fancy Goods, Straw Goods, and
other goods without limit in price, quantity
or quality. He advises his friends that if
they will call at the store of S. D. Black
well & Son he will convince them that what
he says is true.
The South urn Cultivator, for April,
is at hand, which we find to contain much
useful and interesting matter for farmers
We copy on the first page an article on cot
ton planting from this nutvber, which wll
be found useful. The Cultivator is cheap
and reliable, and every enterprising funmr
should have it. W. L Jones, Athens, §2

The Farmers’ Advocate, published in
the interest of the farmers throughout the
United States, is regularly received at this
office. We find tliis paper becomes more
interesting lately, aud we think t ie publish
ers intend to push the enterprise to its full
capacity, l’ublishcd at Jackson, Ti nt)., at
$1 per annum.

ment in this paper, our readers will see that
Messrs. J. H. J nos & Cos., have a choice

CHICAGO AND THE LEA.
We find the following letter iu the Au
gusta Chronicle & Sentinel:
Greensburg, Ind., March 22, 1873.
Dr. 11. It. Casey :
Dear Sir —Both ot your late favors have
been received, as also have the papers which
you have kindly had forwarded to my ad
dress, for which please accept my thanks.
During the present week President llay
mond sent an engineer to make a reconnuis
ance of the line from this place aud Lexing
ton, Ky., mere especially to examine the
hills bordering the Ohio river, aud to make
soundings ot that stream, and, if deemed
advisable, to make a preliminary survey. —
What we want uow is something to show to
capitalists.
Any data you can furnish us of the min
eral wealth of your State—the kinds and
qualities —and the development of the vari
ous resources of the country is capable, will
be very acceptable. What is the opinion of
your people of the narrow gauge system df
roads ? Personally, I would favor that kind
of a road. If you determine to hold a Con
vention in Augusta in May, you should ad
vertise it well and early as possible. 1 think
this neglect prevented a larger attendance
from the South at our lu liam.polis meet
ing.
1 have no additional news for you at the
wrifiug ot this letter, only to say that the
interest in our scheme is very general, and
j has not, in the least, abated. I received
yesterday a copy of the Lexington (Ky.)
j Press, which contained a very strong edito
! rial article in its favor, l see that one of
! tilt Lexington papers advocates this road in
preference to the Cincinnati Southern
Road.
I shall be pleased to hear from you at any
time. Very truly, yours,
Wm. 0. Foley.

man will take a blow is the wind.
