Moving Out ofthe County.
Mr. S. V- Davenport, who has been for
the past twelve months a resident of
Elberton, and now serving as bailiff of
the County Court, will leave Elberton
for Toccoa City in a few clays.
“Mr. John S. Drown, clerk of our Su
perior Court and an old resident of the
county, contemplates moving to the
same “city” in a few weeks.
We hear also of others in the county
who desire to sell out in order to go to
Toccoa.
Major J. W. Hendon, the popular
sewing machine agent, who had been
amongst us so long that we almost look
ed upon him as one of our citizens, has
sought a more profitable field for his lu
laoors at Dalton.
We hope all will meet with prosperity
in their new homes; but we can assure
them all that they will find few fairer or
more pleasant spots on the earth than
“ Old Elbert.”
The Body of Hay, the Drowned Negro
Found Last Saturday Week.
On the 29th tilt. ,T the body of the
colored man, named. Hay, who was in
the employ of Mr. John Thompson, and
who was drowned several weeks ago,
while attempting to cross Broad river in
a leaky bateau was discoverd fastened to
a mill dam on Broad river. The body
was discovered on Saturday evening,
but was not removed until Sunday morn
ing. When found, he had on his pistol,
spurs, etc. Our informant did not give
us the particulars as to who found the
body, but stated that when discovered,
his head was the, only part of his body
visible. It seems that some part of his
clothing had been caught by a peg in the
dam, and hence the discovery. He was
not buried until the Monday following
the Saturday on which he was found.
It was about sun-down when it w r as in
terred.

A New Cotton Cleaner and Gin.
Our Augusta exchanges speak in very
high terms of anew cotton cleaner and
gin called the Ralston Cotton Cleanei
and Gin—which was publicly tested at
Aiken, S. C., one day last week*
The advantages claimed for this ma
machinery are—the saving of fifty per
cent in picking; improving the cotton
two gr ades; saving the labor of a gin
ner—the gin feeds itself; gaining twen
ty-five per cent, by the use of this ma
chinery.
Magazines, &c.
The Southern Magazine improves with
each number. The December number
has two articles—one on the Southern
States debt and the national finances,
the other on cotton—either of which is
fully worth the price of subscription.
We would like to see every reading man
in this community take this excellent
work.
The Southern Cultivator for Decem
ber is chug-full of interesting reading to
the practical farmer. $2 cannot be bet
ter spent than as a subscription to the
Cultivator.
The improvement in Wood’s House
hold Magazine is plan in each succeed
ing number. The December number is
as great an inducement for subscription
the coming year as any advertisement
could present. We will send this maga
zine and The Gazette for one year for
$2.50 IN ADVANCE ONLY.

they say they can have it completed in
early spring.
Citizens of Elbert, if you have any
desire to make your couuty the fairest
spot on earth, to make it the equal in
progress and general thrift of any coun

monument that will cause your children
and your children’s children to rise up
and call you blessed—come now to the
front-and help in this good work. Eet
the laggards hang back if they will, that
is no excuse for you; do' your duty and
let others do as they wall. The proudest
boast a man can make on his death bed.
is, “I have done my whole duty.”
There is no excuse now for leaving
your own county for a railroad. Help
to build a road to your own homes, and
you will not have to leave it to find pros
perity.
Come to Elberton next Saturday and
talk about it.

ASTONISHING.
A youth in Atlanta has recently writ
ten a historical drama in three acts, ti
tled “Thomas A’Becket.”
Paul Bleckley, the author of the dra
ma was bom in Atlanta, Nov. 14th, 1859.
In his eighth year he read some of the
plays of Shakespeare. Before he was
eleven he had read them ah except one,
and knew several so accurately, that on
hearing any extracts from them, even if
no more than a line or two, he could in
stantly refer it to the proper play, act
and scene, and name the character ad
dressed, the one speaking, and all others
present on the occasion.
The scenes of the play are sometimes
in England; sometimes in France.

TEMPERANCE.
Mb. Editob : Seeing in your last issue
an appeal in behalf of the Elberton Lit
erary Club, by one who styles himself
“Member,” calling on those who compose
the organization, and especially the la
dies, to exercise more zeal in behalf of
their society which has for its object
the cultivation of the mind, suggests to
us the fact that we have in our midst a
society which has for its object the ele
vation of those, who unfortunately have
steeped their souls in liquid fire and are
unable to throw off the shackles which
Bacchus, the god of wine, has bound
around them.
This society, we greatly fear, is in a
lethargic state, from which it may never
recover, unless those who have espjused
her noble cause, will come forth as beau
tiful as angels, and as terrible as an
army with banners, in the glorious
struggle for the overthrow of her ene
mies, and the ultimate triumph of her
sacred cause.
- As an advocate of the cause of tem
perance, we earnestly appeal to those
who have stood by the old ship of tem
perance in the storms of adversity during
the past, to rally once again to the res
cue and save her from sinking in the
rough billows of adverse circumstances
that threaten to engulf her.
Knowing the material that compose
the organisation of Good Templars in
our midst, we feel assured our appeal
will not be in vain.
Then, brothers and sisters, polish and
brighten your armors, and strike once
again for God and temperance.
And you, Mr. Editor, a gentleman of
the “first water, “ though not a member
of our order, yet temperate in all things,
lend us your aid in our noble cause, and
your reward will be treasured in the
mansions*of the blest.
Very truly, A. E. H.
A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
On the morning of the 22d of Novem
ber, the Ville • DuHavre collided with
the British ship Locheaine, from Lon
don for New York, and sunk shortly af
ter, and two hundred and twenty-six
passengers on the steamship lost their
lives. .At the time of the collision, the
weather was clear, little wind was blow
ing but there was a heavy sea. The
Captain had just retired, and the second
officer was in charge. The lights on the
steamer were all right; the collision was
wholly unexpected. The Locheam struck
the steamer amid shipsan-d maJo a cl.& ten
twelve feet deep and from 25 to 30 feet
wide.
The exact position of the Ville Du
Havre at the time was latitude 47 de
grees and 21 minutes, longitude 05 de
grees and 31 minutes.
The panic took possession of the pos
session of the passengers. Five min
utes after the collision the main and
mizzen mast fell across two large boats
which were filled with people and ready
for launching. The boats were crushed
and many of the occupants were injured
and killed. In the brief interval between
the collision and the sinking of the steam
er the crew were able to launch a whale
boat and the captain’s gig. The Lo
chearn went a mile before stopping.—
She then got out four boats to pick up
the unfortunate people struggling in the
water. Meantime the whale boat, under
command of the Second Lieutenant of
the Ville DuHavre, picked up one load
of those who were clinging to plunks and
spars, etc., and took them to the Lo
cheam. She returned to the scene and
rescued another load.
Captain Surmount, who remained on
deck to the last, was rescued by this
boat three quarters of an hour after the
collision. One of his officers swam a mile
to the Lochearn, and was finally hauled
on board of that vessel with a rope. The
boats continued to search the waters iu
the vicinity of the disaster until there
was no hope of saving more lives. The
cold was intense. Many of the survivors
were immersed two hours, and were al
most lifeless when rescued. The ship
Trountain sighted the Locheame at 8,
a. m., six hours after the sinking of the
steamer, and received the survivors be
fore reported. Those saved speak in
the highest terms of the kindness of
Captain Urquhart, her commander. —
There were six stow-aways on the Ville
Du Havre. Later accounts make the
date of the collision the 22d, instead of
of the 23d.
ATTEMPT TChBEEAK JAIL.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 28.
On last Tuesday the prisoners in jail
at Clarksville jail overpowered the guard
and took possession of their arms.—
The alarm was given before they got out
and the citizens of the town surrounded
the jail. One of the prisoners, Sid Wal
lace, sentenced to be hung on the 23d of
next month, fired a double-barrel shot
gun at two citizens in the street, severe
ly if not fatally wounding both. The
, citizens then took possession of the first
floor of the jail, put five kegs of powder
in it, laid a train for some distance, and
notified the prisoners that unless they
surrendered in 30 minutes they would
blow up the building. After a little par
ley they surrendered, throwing their
arms out at the window. As one of the
guns struck the ground it went off, and
slightly wounded three persons. Wal
lace and another of the prisoners were
brought here last night and lodged in
the penitentiary. He will be taken out
and hung next month. He has killed
quite a number of men, among them the
late Hon. Elisha Morse, Circuit Judge,
and is the most desperate character in
that country.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In the House, Gen. Butler made sev
eral efforts to inaugurate measures to
seat Messrs. Sheldon, Sypher and oth
ers, from Louisiana, but failed to attract
Speaker Blaine’s attention. Vote for
Speaker: Blaine, 190; Wood, 77 ; Cox,
2; Cleymier, 1; A, H. Stephens, 1;
about fifty members from the South took
the anti-bellum oath ; others took an
oath as long as your am. In drawing
for seats exception were made in favor
of Mr. Stephens’ seat, directly in front
of the Speaker on the Democratic side of
the aisle. The courtesy to Mr. Steph
ens was upon the motion of Mr. Platt,
of Virginia. Butler, of Massachusetts
offered a resolution to admit to their
seats Messrs. Sypher, Sheldon and
Pinchback, of Louisiana, without action
on it.
From the foregoing it is seen that the
house was organized by the re-election
of Blaine as Speaker.
At half past four the House adjourn
ed.
The Bepubiican members of the House
held a caucus on the night of the Ist,
and after exchange of views, appointed
a committee of five to report a bill for
the repeal of so much of the salary bill
as refers to members and employes of the
house-
DEATH OF ISAAC ALMAND.
DIED, near Columbus, Ga., on the 14th day
day of October, 1873, at the residence of Thus.
T. D. ForUon, in his seveuty-uin.h year, Isaac
Alraand.
The deceased was a native of Elbert county,
where he was reared, and where he lived an
hft. ,ored and respected citizen for forty-five
years. Early in li.e Judge Alma-id became a
member of the Baptist church, attaching him
sel to Dove (’reek church, where he retained his
membership until lie left the county. He was
prominent in assisting in ali the ceremonies of
the church, in vhich he took a particular plea
sure.
In 1839 Judge Almond went from*his native
—cy to Western Georgia, near Columbus,
where he liven ....til tauT. Here he lost the
partner of his bosom, to whom he was married
in youth, from this place, after having again
married, he went to Western Texas, where he
was again bereaved by the death of his second
wife. In 1872, he returned to Georgia associa
ting with his relatives near Columbus until his
dentil. He bore afflictions, to which an All-wise
Providence had subjected him, with great pa
tience and Christian fortitude until, when juU
within the throes of deatti, he clapped his bauds
and sang,
“Farewell, vain world. I’m going home,
My Jesus s niies and bids me come.”
And in a few minutes bis soul was freed from
earth’s bondage and lound sweet rest with his
Redeemer
