A Constitutional Convention.
The subjection of calling a convention
of the people of Georgia for the pur
pose of making certain changes and im
provements in our State Constitution is
of late being extensively discussed by
the press and people. When this same
subject was receiving considerable atten
tion about a year ago, though in favor of
the convention, we thought the time had
not come for calling it, and we held
our peace. But what we thought inop
portune—merely as a matter of policy,
however—at that time, we favor now on
principle. We have never regarded the
present instrument as a Constitution of
the people of Georgia, neither suited to
the people of Georgia. It was the work
of a class —military, mongrel, and othe
wise mixed—who neither knew or cared
to suit the wishes of the real, tax-paying
citizens of the State, and the sooner it
is made to do so the better. If we have
not the talent to frame an instrument to
do honor to our proud old State, then
we can call on tire head of a faction at
Washington to send us some of his ser
vile tools to do the work fur us. But
the State whose statesmen ranked second
to none in the country when honesty
was the rule and corruption and bribery
the exception, and sound Democratic
doctrine was a recognised authority in
place of Centralism—possesses now
less ability and honest integrity, and the
Constitution under which we could then
live, with ample protection to life and
property, and all rights guarantied, will
serve us now. It is no more necessary
to have a defective opera house for a
capital since the “universal nigger" was
invested with certain rights, than it was
when people were abler to sustain such
gaudy trappings, but forbore subjecting
their servants to temptation.
Economy is the order of the day, and
if it be practiced in the administration
of public affairs the people will take to
it the more readily.
There are numerous ways of reducing
expenses in running the machinery of
the State government, and a convention
could do good in this respect
We have seen nor hear and of any good
why a convention should not be called,
while it is patent there are numerous
good reasons why one should be called.
The time is propitious, the people are
anxious—let the Legislature act.
Hard Times.
Tn reading Bill Arp’s experience of the
hard times, especially touching the ad
monitions, or “cacklin,” as he calls it, of
the “old hen,” we were struck with the
similarity of his experience with our own.
How often have we been told to request
subscribers who pay for their paper in
'‘chips and whetstones,” not to bring
rotten chestnut wood, as it is impossible
to bake a respectable ashcake with such
■wood, and the children being barefooted
are kept continually running to the
woodpile to replenish the fire; that bald
headed and youthful butter and eggs of
this year’s crop are preferred. Again we
are told to take that half dollar that Mr.
Green paid last week and buy a few more
molasses for the matutinal meal, as
there is nothing else to accompany the
ordinary ashcake—those big potatoes
and the sorghum Mr. Wheat paid being
consumed a week ago, and to try and
save ten cents to buy some apples for
’Mericus to take to school, and a little to
get a yard of inch-wide velvet riband to
put on last winter’s hat to go to church
with on next second Sunday and hoar
the new preacher, and that a little
bleached homespun is desired to make a
gown to have James Oliphant christened
in, and I guess that will take all of that
half dollar. And when you get that
other half dollar promised you on the
saleday in December, you must try and
put by a quarter to buy some rag dolls
for Vira and Susan Helen for Christmas.
With such demands on our purse, it is
a difficult matter, in these hard times, to
“make buckle and tongue meet,” but we
are determined to worry through, and
we are going to take ’Squire Arp’s ad
vice and “do the very best we can.”
“A Washoe Zephyr.”
Every one who has read “Roughing
It,” by Mark Twain, will readily know
what devastating effect the “Washoe
zephyr” has upon the inhabitants, cattle,
houses, etc., in the far West. Something
like one of these zephyrs, passed over
our town, and from what we learn, over
the entire county last Sunday night.—
About 12 o’clock that night, the four
winds of the earth, seemed to have com
bined their forces into one, and intended
to give vent to their cramped feelings
by blowing away everything that crossed
its path. Soon after boreas turned loose
his blowing apparatus, every person in
town had been awakened by the intensi
ty of the storm, and look in any direc
tion you chose, you could spy a light,
showing plainly that someone in every
household had been aroused. We heard
of a gentleman who was sleeping sound
ly, and {Lreaming probably, of the “girl
he left behind him,” awakening as the
wind was at its height, and realizing his
position as dangerous, he deserted his
quarters for the cellar, thinking the low
er he could get in the ground the safer he
would be, we heard that he commenced
digging himself a hole.
We heard of another couple who had
been disturbed by old boreas. They had
gotten up, struck a light, and were wait
ing for the storm to abate somewhat be
fore again retiring. In the meantime,
the winds moaned and howled. Every
succeeding gust seemed to be more severe
than the last, and apparently, as it
struck the house, and blew aconrs, grav
el an “sich like” against the windows,
sure destruction appeared certain. The
lady becoming very much frightened,
asked her husband “why he was not
praying,” he said that he “supposed he
could pray as a well standing as he could
by kneeling.” He is a Presbyteriat.
A large tree was blown down near
the house of one of our most respected
citizens, and the fall created considera
ble noise. His wife asked him “why he
did not get up and see what had hap
pened.” “Oh, my dear,” says he, “I’m
perspiring too freely to venture out, I
might catch cold. I suppose somebody’s
house has been blown into the yard by
this fearful storm,” and then he covered
up his little head and tried to sleep.
This was, indeed a terrible storm, ac
companied with all qualifications that
constitute the same, viz: wind, rain,
thunder and lightning.
Our experience and reflections during
this dreadful gale, were about as fol
lows :
Near 12 o’clock, we were awakened by
a roar, that sounded to us like a great
fire, and so we thought it was; but just
then a shower of acorns struck the win
dows that souuded, we imagine, like the
bombardment of Palis, then we realized
for the first time, that a terrible storm
was raging. We arose frightened as
shower after shower of rain and acorns
rattled against the glass. We attempted
to dose the shutters during a lull; but
just as we raised the window to close the
blmds, a tremendous gust of wind came
against the sash, blowing it out of its
place, and our head came near being en
circled by the sash. We looked like a
hot-house but we didn’t feel warm. In
a little while we fixed our window, and
endeavored to sleep, but this was impos
sible. We imagined as the house jarred,
and the timbers cracked* [the other oc
cupants deny that it jarred or cracked],
that we were on the bosom of the briny
deep, and that we were aboard a vessel,
and all on board were sweetly singing :
“The stormy winds how they blow, blow, blow,
The raging seas how they roar,” etc.
Sleep finally returned to our wearied
troubled body, and old Morpheus em
braced us tightly until late the follow
ing morning.
The damage done, consisted chiefly of
the blowing down of fences and trees.—
We heard of one roof being tom off by
the terrific wind. It was fortunate that
it did not assume the shape of a whirl
wind, for had it assumed this form, roofs
would have been in imminent danger.—
We should be thankful that no more
damage was experienced than was.
f ;
’Possum-Hunting.
The other night, two young men of
about 19 summers, one a fiery blonde,
the other a flashing brunette, concluded
to while away a few hours of one of the
long November nights, by chasing the
raccoon and the ’possum. After being
out sometime, the dogs treed a skunk.
The uninitiated youngsters mistook this
cat for a ’possum, and the tree being
small, one of the boys knocked him out
with a stone. As soon as he fell, the
dogs grabbed him, and for yards around
the air was perfumed with odor peculiar
to this animal. The boys’ axe was near
by, and it got a sprinkling of this fra
grant extract The boy that carried the
axe, swore that if he could get home be
fore the stench from the axe killed him,
i they’d whistle before they’d get him out
| possum huntin’ again.
Howland’s System of Horse Training.
As announced in last week’s Gazette,
Dr. W. H. Rowland delivered a lecture
in Elberton. last Friday, on the educa
tion, of the horse, listened to'by a large
crowd. His remarks showed a thorough
ly practical knowledge of the horse, and
he easily won the confidence of his lis
teners. After the lecture, a class of
twenty was readily formed for the pur
pose of being initiated into Dr. Rowland’s
system of horsemanship.
Having been in the class we can safe
ly testify to the excellence of the system
for the complete subjugation of the most
vicious animal to the will of the master,
and that too without inflicting the slight
est injury. The system is thorough and
a knowledge of it insures complete con
trol of the horse. The entire class ex
pressed themselves as well satisfied with
the instruction received.
Dr. Rowland is a pleasant, intelligent
gentleman, and fully understands the
subject he treats of.
He will be in Elberton next Saturday
for the purpose of forming another class
for instruction. We advise all interested
in horses to take instructions.
Town and County.
The town-pump has been reconstruct
ed.
The cold, chill winds of December are a
month a head of time.
The oil that has been poured upon the
waters of the matrimonial sea, has some
what pacified its ragings—reports are
less numerous.
We heard a man who owned a gin,
say that another man owed him 50 cts.
for two buckets of water he had gotten
out of the stream that turned his ma
chinery.
From what we have heard fanners are
nearly through picking cotton in this
connty.
“It was a good time for cows after the
storm, Sunday-night,” remarked a gen
tleman the other day. Gardens were
fenceless and cattle were making much
of the opportunity.
At Last.— Elberton is supplied with a
first class tailor at last. Mr. H. D.
Schmidt, formerly of New York, latterly
of Augusta, is now in our midst, ready
to execute all work, neatly and nicely
that comes under the head of tailoring.
His place of business is over the store
of Messrs. J ohn H. J ones & Cos. Mr.
Schmidt comes well recommended, and
will no doubt give entire satisfaction.—
Don’t fail to give him a trial A first
class tailor has been sadly needed in this
town for some time, and we think he is
the right man in the right place. Give
him your support.
The Tournament.
■We heard it whispered on the streets
of onr town last Saturday, something to
the effect that the young men of Elbert,
and those of Abbeville county, had in
anticipation a tournament to come off in
a short time. We also heard that the
place of riding would be Ruckersville,
and the ball would be given at Elberton.
These, however, were mere suggestions,
and we think those interested in it in
tend having a meeting soon, when every
thing pertaining to the tournament will
be decided upon. If able, we will then
give particulars.
Hymenial.
Married on the 12th of Nov., 1873, by
Rev. Thos. Crimes, at the residence of the
bride’s father, Miss Fannie F. Freeman,
of Camesville, to Mr. J. E. Brewer, of
Elberton.
To the happy pair we proffer our sin
cere wishes for their future happiness.
May their life never be darkened by a
care or cloud ; but as they journey the
rugged, meandering pathway of the fu
ture, may it be strewn with the choicest
flowers, and unalloyed happiness be their
lot in the world to come.
Watch Out.
Mr. J. L. Deadwyler, gives those in
debted to him fair warning to come and
settle up by the first Tuesday in Decern
ber. He intends after that date to com
mence suit against all parties owing him.
Settle up with Mr. Deadwyler, and pre
vent him from carrying into effect this
unpleasant method of collecting what is
justly due him. See advertisement in
another column.
Wagon Trade.
Our town was very lively the latter
part of last week, and the first part of
this, with wagons laden with bacon, ap
ples, pork, cabbages, &c. Elberton will
soon be as good a market for the up
country produce as the best.
Business is Business.
We learn that the farmers of Hart
county are rushing their cotton into
market. The enterprising firm of J. B.
Benson & Son, have already purchased
and traded for about 300 bales. The
other merchants of that town have also
purchased largely.
Drowned.
A colored man, named Hay, who was
employed by Mr. John Thompson, of
Hopewell Factory, in this county, was
drowned in Broad river at Cade’s Mill,
on last Thursday night. It appears that
the negro was returning home with his
team, having been on a trip to some
point. He arrived at the river sometime
after dark, and finding the flat on this
side of the river, he got into a bateau and
started for the flat to carry his team
across the stream. Being dark, he did not
perceive that the bateau had sprung a
leak, and was in a very bad condition.—
We learned that a piece of plank had
been tom from the stem of the boat,
and the water ran in rapidly, but un
known to its occupant When about
half way the river, the boat sunk, aud
the unfortunate victim being* unable to
swim, went down with the boat, and his
soul without warning ushered into eter
nity.
This sad accident should have a ten
dency to impress upon every one the
importance and truth of the old adage,
under any and all circumstances, “to
look before you leap.”
A line Drop.
We heard one of our citizens rejoicing
over the abundance of the china-berry
crop. We will here state that this gen
tleman is a great utilitarian, and hence
the rejoicing. He would winter his cat
tie in part upon these berries, as they
were splendid food for cows. A by
stander was very glad to learn that the
china-berry was of some use, and partic
ular so now, as they were good for cows,
stating that he had been at a loss as to
how he would manage to feed his stock
during the winter. He remembered
that there were plenty of china-berry
trees about his premises, and that he
would make good use of them. Surely
everything upon the face of the earth is
good for something.

The Grangers.
The two granges organised in Elbert
county, having received the requisite par
aphemalia, may be considered in good
working trim and prepared to transact
all pertinent business. The prospect is
bright for the growth of the order in the
county, and there are promises of gran
ges being formed in every section of the
county, for the organisation of which it
is no longer necessary to send beyond
the limits of the county.
Dove Creek Grange meets on the sec
ond Saturday in each month, at Dove
Creek Academy, at 2 o’clock.
Elberton Grange will meet in Elberton
every Saturday, at 2 o’clock, until fur
ther notice. A full meeting of this grange
is particularly desired next Saturday.
Obligation*.'
Our handsome, accommodating and
clever young friend, Mr. J. N. Eberhart,
will accept our thanks for the basket of
nice apples he sent us last Monday.—
Those wishing to purchase apples can
find a nice lot at his store. Blessed is
the man that remembereth the typo
