It should be a matter of congratula
tion among the country weeklies that
our city cotemporaries are seriously dis
cussing the propriety of conducting
their business—so far as subscriptions
are concerned—m a cash basis. No pa
per can succeed that does a credit busi
nes. The merchant who does a credit
business add3 a certain per centage to
the cost of his wares to cover losses
by bad debts, failure of crops, etc., but
if one newspaper publisher pursues the
same course, his subscribers point him
to the large, well-filled city weeklies that
can be obtained at the old price, and
never be bothered for the money. The
city weeklies made up from dailies cost
less money to produce, however impos
ing, than the smallest counti-y weekly—
hence, we suppose, the indifference mani
fested by some as to collections and
stoppiug the paper when ordered. It is
impossible for country papers to do a
cash business without the moral support
of the city weeklies. This support has
hitherto, to a large extent, been withheld,
and for this reason it must afford grati
fication to publishers of country week
lies to see the initiatory steps taken
in the good cause by their city cotempo
raries.
As far as we are directly concerned, it
is not a matter of much moment, as,
though we have not done a strictly cash
business in the matter of subscriptions,
we have but few credit subscribers—
probably not over one fiftieth part of the
whole number. Hence we speak more
for the benefit of the country newspa
pers as a class than for our own benefit.
The argument we use among our pa
trons is, If you send to the Nortli for a
newspaper, an illustrated work, or a lit
ery or fashion magazine, you send the
c ish; why would you ask that at home
which you would not ask of strangers"?
Tt requires cash here as well as at the
North to canyon business; we cannot
conduct our business wi hoitt money
any better than they can. Will you
treat your friends worse than your ene
mies? True we have vampires here as
well as elsewhere, but we lop them oil'
as soon as discovered, and by this means
get rid of them, and they get the paper
when they pay for it and have it stopped
when the time expires.
As we remarked above, the only way
to succed in the newspaper business is
upon tire plan of cash subscriptions,
and that the present agitation of the
question will result in a uniform adop
tion of that plan, is “a consummation
devoutly to be wished.”
Burning of a House and Loss of Life.
On Saturday morning last a house
about six miles below town, on what is
known as the Johnson place, was totally
destroyed by fire, together with all the
contents, including two or three bales of
seed cotton, one child, about three years
old, burnt to death, and two others
slightly scorched before escaping. The
house was occupied by a negro named
Tom Thompson—better known, perhaps,
as Carolina Tom —and his family; the
adult members were out at work when
the house caught fire, three small chil
dren being the only occupants. How
the fire caught is not known. The two
older children made their escape after
the fire had made considerable headway,
butfrot till they had been slightly injured,
and the younger, a girl three years old,
perished in the flames —when found the
arms and legs had been burnt from the
body.
Tom is a steady, industrious negro,
and has a good character among the
white people, and he has their sympathy
in his affliction.
Gin-House and Mill Burned in Oglethorpe.
On Tuesday of last week Mr. William
Saunders had his gin-house and mill, in
Oglethorpe county, near Sandy Cross,
destroyed by fire, incuding five bales of
cotton and about two hundred bushels
of com, all the tools and everything in
the buildings. The loss amounted to not
less than $5,000. Mr. Sanders had all
his capital invested in this property, and
the loss falls particularly heavy upon
him. We learn that he has gone to work
to rebuild.
Hymeneal.
To speak in a business way, the marry
ing season may be said to have opened,
with bright prospects of an active mar
ket for some time to come. Already two
marriages have taken place in which our
citizens feel an interest, and rumors of
others come thick and fast. The custom
of giving wedding feasts to the newly
married is an old one, and, in our judg
ment, no less commendable than old, es
pecially where the friends of the allied
have purses to justify the necessary out
lay. There is but one promise we would
exact from all who have been wedded or
are yet to be, and that is, where one party
to the alliance resides out of the county,
a pledge to reside in Elbert be required.
By this means a hundred years from now
our population will be as dense and our
prosperity as great as if all the emigra
tion societies in the world had opened
their doors in our midst. And may you
and we, kind reader, be here to see the
glorious result.
To all—those who have passed thro’
the ordeal of making the solemn vow of
constancy and devotion to each other till
death do them part, and those who have
yet the same to pass through —we wish
unalloyed happiness and prosperity in
this life, and a triumphant entrance into
the abode of bliss at its close ,

The Champion Cotton-Picker.
A lad in Madison county, named Os
car Williford, aged 12 years, and weigh

cotton from sun-up till dark. As far as

picker of this section. “’Rah for Os

The Gin-House Burned Last Week.
As we mentioned last week, the gin
house of Mr. Robert F. Tate was burned
on Monday night. The house was being
used by Messrs. S. D. Colson and R. M.
Willis, who had three bales of cotton in
the building at the time of the fire, and
which was all consumed. Mr. Tate is
positive in his belief that the fire was
the result of incendiarism.

Where the Ducks Swimmeth.
We overheard a conversation the oth
er day, between two individuals of the
Afr ican species. From all appearances
both seemed to feel unusually jolly. In
the hand of one was a long black bottle,
and we presumed that from this source
the jolly flow of spirits issued. This
may have been wrong in us, even to im
agine such a thing, for the contents of
the vial that held a quart, might have
been paregoric, chloride of lime, asafcet
ida, or some other medicine ; but you
know people will think. Anyhow the
two black-a-moors of which we speak,
were both gloriously happy and the fol
lowing is a portion of their conversation
as they wended their way carelessly
homeward:
“Sam, I feel jist like I wanted to hol
ler.”
“Keep quiet, nigger, ef you holler
’bout dis town, Mars “Joke” will make
you suffer, sure's you am bom to
die.”
“Den, dis here chile ain’t agwine to
’spatiate, till he gets out ob de corpum
ration.”
For awhile, silence reigned supreme,
when the first speaker renewed the con
versation :
“Sam, dis nigger is gwine to rank de
bill out to night.”
“Whar’s you gwine, Sam.”
“Oh, I’m gwine way up on Beaver
dam, whar de ducks swims bof day and
night, and de frogs hollers widdout de
fear ob white folks.”
Here they took a pull from the black
bottle, and journeyed on singing in a
low tone:
My name’s Sam,
I don't give ad n,
And Fm gwine to rank
On de Beaverdatn.’
The Macon Fair.
The fair at Macon last week is said to
nave been the most successful of any
ever attempted in the South. The wea
ther was all that could have been desired,
the crowd in attendance was large, the
grounds delightful, and everybody—es
pecially the managers—delighted.
Over six hundred bales of cotton were
entered -to contend for the prize.
Every imaginable kind of domestic
fowl was to be found there, and at least
five hundred coops were found necessa
ry for this class of competitors.
A large number of stables and cattle
pens had been provided, and these were
well stocked with horses, cows, hogs and
sheep, not omitting the festive mule. In
this department the exhibition was par
ticlularly gratifying
The display in the Floral, Industrial
and Agricultural department was the fin
est ever seen in Georgia, and perhaps in
the South.
Altogether, Mayor Huff and the peo
pie of Macon are to be congratulated
upon the gratifying result attending
their efforts. To Mayor Huff, who la
bored so perseveringly in its behalf, the
success of the fair must be a most pleas
ant consideration.
The PaniG Pursuing its Course.
News from the North indicate the
spreading of the panic. On the 31st a
number of failures were reported, and
paper of A. & W. Sprague, the large
manufacturer's, went to protest. In New
ark, N. J., twenty thousand girls have
been discharged. Sweeping discharges
of working men have been made all over
the North, and many more are appre
hended. The panic has not yet assumed
its most serious phase. When winter
comes on these poor men and women,
without work and without money, will
raise a howl that will be heard through
the entire land. The ciy of “Bread!
Bread!” is the most fearful sound that
was ever uttered by the multitude. It
is a cry that exasperates to revenge, and
rings -and speculators, bulls, bears, and
their fawning sycophants, incompetent
officials and financial bunglers, with their
hireling soldiery and Guttling guns can
not stop it. Better had they find their
bomb-proof lurking places. The day of
reckoning approaches. We have had war,
pestilence has followed—now prepare
for famine!
Three Children Burnt Up in a House.
We leam that a house in Abbeville
county, S. C., just across the Savannah
river from the California Mills, was de
stroyed by fire a few days ago, and at the
time of the burning there were three
children locked up in the house who per
ished in the flames. Search was after
wards made for the remains, when it was
discovered that two of the bodies had
been totally consumed by the fire. The
parents—negroes—had gone away from
home, and, according to the custom of
negroes in this country, had locked up
the children to prevent danger.
The exercises of the Elberton Female
Institute, commenced to-day.

How sad!
“This is a handy convenionment," said
a thirsty African, as he walked up to the
town-pump and got a drink of “nature’s
purest bevarage.”
We heard a man say the other day “I
am even with the world,” and yet he is
not happy.
“How fair is it to the far ground ?’
may be asked of the State Fair visitors.
The Value of Land in Elbert.
As an indication of the value of land
in Elbert, the Mrs. Allen tract, known as
“Oakland,” containing something over
twelve hundred acres, sold at public out
cry yesterday for $22,050. The first bid
made was $15,000, and the contest was
spirited until the amount named was bid,
when it was knocked off, Mr. John Mc-
Cauley being the successful competitor.
A GRAVE CHARGE.
The Atlanta Herald, of Sunday, the
26th, contains a long article under the
caption of “Blood Money,” in which
some grave charges are made by Chap
Norris, and others, against United States
Deputy Marshals. The Herald says: It
has been fr'eely said upon the street that
the officials, Deputy Marshals, have been
in the habit of going into country settle
ments, arresting parties accused of illic
it distilling upon bench warrants [and
sometimes without], and then agreeing,
if the parties would give thorn a certain
amount of money, to turn them loose.—
When this was done, they would return
upon the back of the warrant that the
party was dead, or had left the State, or
couldn’t be found.
A GRAND*"MOVEMENT.
In the Atlanta Herald of last Tuesday
appeared a communication entitled a
“grand movement of the Grangers,” an
exchange comments on the article as fol
lows :
“And truly it is a grand movement if
it is earned out to its full extent. The
article alluded to was in substance this:
A Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry,
in DeKalb county, after investigating
matters, came to the conclusion that cot ■
ton is too low, in proportion to the price
in Liverpool; that the low price it At
lanta is owing to the almost total ab
sence of money; and that their best
plan, therefore, is to ship their cotton to
Liverpool. They propose to load aves
sel at Port Royal, and send it direct to
Liverpool, in charge of a supercargo of
their own choosing. Two hundred bales
were subscribed by members, but the
Grange in which the idea originated,
wants 2,000 bales and they hoped to get
it by the Ist of November.
