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.

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.

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.
