Ohriatmas Doings
Another of those periods of jollifica
tion has come and gone. Happily for
for our commm ity we have not to record
a single accident or in jury. While this
is true with us, the same canuot be said
of other localities.
The festivities of Christmas may be
said to have begun with our people on
the 22d the occasion of the tournament
at Ruckersville, an account of which will
be found in this deeply re
gret that business engagements preven
ted our personal attendance as we
should undoubtedly have enjoyed the oc
casion immensely.
The 23d was comparatively quiet, but
the mysterious manner iu which various
Santa clauses, both male and female, mo
ved around indicated pretty clearly that
if Christmas was not enjoyed it would
not be for want of preparations.
The 24th opened the ball. Our young
bloochf could not be put off a day longer.
Fire works were heard and seen on all
hand from the amiable “popper to the
viorgous rocket. We unintentionally ran
into a party who were evidently peparing
to make a breakfast of water or pickles
next morning, Some of the par ty had
evidently been studying the dead langua
ges,from the way they uttered “hie, and
it was’vcry plain some of them had put
the cart before, the horse for they had
passe 1 “hoc.’’ The town was lively till
a late hour after night, but everything
passed off agreeably.
The 25th brought_out tho customary
egg-nog and turkey, and sent the little
ones, shouting with glee from house to
house to show what St. Nicholas had
given them for bring good little boys and
girls, and to catch the sleeping old ones
an unexpected “Christmas gift.’ God
bless the little ones. We would be glad
to have Christmas if if were only for
their enjoyment. Of course this dry
was also marked by the the multitu
dinous explosion of fireworks.
The 20th was used largely by, feacheis
and scholars of the Suuday School fox-
preparing their Christmas tres. Tne fes
ival cauie off at tho Metho clist chinch,
and was a well prepared affair indeed
All who had anything bo do with it de
serve the greatest* pi-aise for the com
plete and gratifying arrangements. All
present enjoyed it, and came away fee
ling happier and, we hope, better.
The 27th was but a continuation of
dinneis etc.’ in which we happened, on
as all other days of the holiday, to get
a handsome share. A select lew of the
ancient order known as the It. A. M s
had a supper that night, which was got
ten up with great taste —this iu moi-e
senses than one — but which was not to
be eaten until a specific amount of It. A.
M,ing was done. The feast was but the
more enjoyable on this account, and ac
cording to the result of our observation,
ample justice, was done to the viands.
Betting ran high as to which particular
individual would out-do the party, but all
the betting men seemed to entirely over
look a le..n, lank, cadevarous individual,
who said nothing but leaving visible mark
about the table of his having been there.
The Sabbath day, be it said to the
credit of all was observed with custom
ary decorum.
On tlie night of, the 30th the young
people had tlie customary Christmas en
tertainment which was attended by a
large portion of the youth, beauty and
wit of the country. This passed off qui
etly, and added much to the reputation
which the young of the country have en
joyed for years in thisparticuiir respect.
On the night of the 31st a genial M. D.
who anticipated moving up on the line
of the Elberton Air-Line road and erec
ting various and sundry manufactories,
gave an entertainment to his young
friends of the village and vicinity. This
closed the old year But we like to
have forgotten the earthquake, a few of
our wide-awakes desiring to usher in the
new year with a bang, procured a jug
and filled it with powder. This jug was
deposited deep in the bowels of the earth,
and numerous rocks and much dirt
piled thereon. By means of a fuse
the eyeshower was set off, and many slee
ping villagers did really think an earth
quake had rocked our quiet old mother
earth. Some fun waff the result of this
the next day; but we do not deem it
proper to tell everything we know. We
expect however, that anew fuse man
will havg r ° be engaged for another oc
casion of the kind.
Christmass has gone, but? there are
many pleasant thoughts stored in memo
ries cabinet to be referred to hereafter,
showing how we did in our young days.
The old year,' too has gone, and with it
we could wish went all our faults and
cankering cares. The bright new year,
1874. is now upon us, and the usual
quantity of new resolutions have been
made. Let us hope that each good res
olve will be religiously observed, and
that another year if in the providence of
God we live shall find us better men and
women, better citizens, and better Chris
tians.
That Grand Tournament.
The morning of the 22d ult., the day
that was previously announced in the
Gazette as the one appointed for the
tournament at Ruckersville, broke very
unpromisingly to those who anticipated
taking any part in the ride, as well as to
those who expected to attend.
It was one of those dark, gloomy,
cold, windy, rainy, sleety, snowy, wet,
moist, damp days that seldom appear in
this climate, and one that had a tenden
cy to give a body a knowledge of its
character, that undertook to stand it.—
We had solemnly resolved in our minds
to attend this tournament, and on the
day of which we speak, we journeyed to
Ruckersville, and therefore, we know
whereof we are talking.
We arrived about half past 10 o’clock,
and after we had gotten comfortably
warm, we proceeded to the riding
ground, about a mile from town, to wit
ness the display of horsemanship and
skill to be seen merely for the going.—
We will not enter into minute details of
the tournnment as our correspondent
has done it ample justice, but we feel
as if we would like to relate our' experi
ence during that day and night. The
costumes of the knights were beautiful,
and very appropriately chosen for the
characters they represented. Taking in
to consideration the inclemency of the
weather, we thought the riding excel
lent. Many of the fairer sex were pres
ent, and bravo for them, as they endur
ed the cold with a fortitude worthy of
praise. After the riding was over, Hon.
E. M. Rucker, addressed the knights in
his usual interesting and eloquent style.
After he had concluded, the crowd re
turned to town. Not long after dark
night set in, and the tournament ball
was next in order. We went to it, saw
the Queen and Maids of Honor crowned,
enjoyed the sumptuous feast, danced a
little, and then found a comfortable seat
in front of a blazing firo where We, with
out limit enjoyed our Havantta cheroot,
“yet we were not happy.” Several per
sons in and about the village, had asked
us to stop with them, but thinking that
we had a place, and wishing to appear
independent, we gracefully declined all
invitations telling them that we were
sorry that we had made previous ar
rangements. There were two of ixs.—
About two o’clock, we thought it was
time for us to retire. We called up our
friend, told him our intentions, he
agreed, and we proceeded to onr room,
to dream of things that had transpired
during the day.
It was a dark, dreary night. Shall
we ever forget it? The rain was falling.
The earth was muddy and disagreeable
underfoot. The heavens were dark and
lowerfng overhead; When we arrived
we found that the room-door was locked,
and our friend with whom we expected
to stop nowhere to be found. There we
were without a comfort, at the dead of
night, in the bitter cold. How sad! W T e
looked at our friend, with a sympathiz
ing look. He smole a ghastly smile, but
said nothing. We walked around the
city about an hour, and then returned to
the room, almost frozen. Still no ap
pearance of life. The little spark of hope
that flickered in our breast was extin
guished. We walked around again
about an hour. Retured. Knocked at
the door, prospects more gloomy. It
was about 5 o’clock. We again give our
friend an sgonised glance. He looked
at us with a look that looked like despair
in the bitterest degree. We felt, as
Mark Twrin would have it like “orphans
!in a foreign land.” So despondent! It
is said that “a fellow-feeling makes us
wondrous kind.” we believe it. Although
we were friends befoi e we never loved
him like we did that moment. He and
we, at the same time, were undergoing
the same lacerated feelings. How near to
each other! We told him that we could
probably find some consolation in sing
ing. It was a good idea. He began
with
“Home, home, sweet, sweet home,”
and we commenced to hum that other
appropriate tune,
“Sad is my heart, joy is unknown,”
This singing did us good, notwithstand-
ing its failure to accord. “It is an iU
wind that blows nobody good.” We be
lieve this t<so, for about ’ this time we
met up with a citizen, and in our mod
est, innocent manner, related to him our
deplorable condition. He said he had
a single bed-stead, and that he would
share it with us- We went to our fiend
and told him that we must leave him.
The parting gave us pain. It hurt him.
He wiped the tear that glistened on his
cheek, and in a tremulous voice, told us
goodbye. Though years roll by, that fare
well shall ever be fresh in our memory.
It was so full of feeeling. But we retir
ed, and slept soundly for an hour or
two the time allotted to us. O ! blessed
sleep, was ever thee relished more? We
got up refreshed and soon after departed
for home.
We say nothing derogatory to the
hospitality to the people shout Ruck
ersville, for they were crowded to over
flowing, but when we go to tournaments
hereafter, we expect to go home with
everybody that invites us.
The tournament afforded a great deal
of enjoyment to many, and would have
been unequalled, had it not been for the
weather.
The Ball Last Week.
The young gentlemen of Elberton
took it into their heads to have a ball
last week, and it is needless for us to
say they had it, but we will say so. They
did hare it, and a grand affair it was.—
It was on Tuesday night the 30th of
December.
Tuesday some of the young men suc
ceeded in obtaining the courthouse, and
it prepared for the proceedings of the ev
ening.
In the afternoon, a few ladies came up
to the room, and attended to the ar
ranging of the tables, and our word for
it, they looked as tempting as experienc
ed hands could make them, and that
was about as much as to suit the appe>-
tite of the most fault-finding epicure.
Everything was in readiness by seven
and a half o’clock, the doors were open
ed, and directly the young men and la
dies begin to pour in, and before very
long the room was nearly filled to over
flowing.
The admission fee for gentlemen sl,
and we often heard the question asked:
“Where you goin ?”
“Going to the ball.”
“Got a ticket?”
“No.”
“Got any money?”
“Yes.”
Asa general thing, every- one had the
money, and was admitted. The finan
cial matters of the managers were in a
healthy condition at its close.
The night was beautiful. The stars
put on a look of unequalled pride and
shone with dazzling brilliancy. Fair
Luna shed her pale, silvery beams with
brightness upon the couples that walk
ed to from the hall that night, and we
wished it had been so that the party
could have been out door to have enjoy
ed it. Those “moonlighthours were cer
tainly made for love.” We didn’t talk
any “moony ’ that night ourselves, we
didn’t, but we know who did. We
heard one Romeo say while standing on
the stoop outside the room, with a fair
Juliet: “I swear by yonder blessed
moon,” ‘that I—l—yes, I do,’ but we
won’t tell tales out of school for fear he
might tell on us.
Soon after the young people gather
ed, “Uncle Sam” was enhand, with that
“old popular fiddle,” and it was not long
i after lie struck up one of those favorite
tunes of his, before those who’indulged,
were “tipping the light fantastic,” and
every one seemed to be enjoying the oc
casion greatly,
About eleven o’clock, supper was an
nounced, and after every one had partak
en of the sumptuous repart, dancing
was soon resumed, and not until the lit
tle hours iu the morning was an ad
journment had, but they did finally quit
or else, we do honestly believe they
would have been dancing till now, we
give this as our private opinion.
We pronounce the occasion as one at
which many was afforded much pleas
| ure and enjoyment.
The Virginius.
This vest-el, according to agreement
was summoned to this Government by
the Spanish Authorities. It was an un
lucky cralt, as before getting toport she
spiling a leak, and in spite of all efforts
“She sank to the bottom of the sea, of
the sea” on Friday morning, the 26th.
The Attorney General, with his usual
ce arsiglitedness,, having decided that
the Virginius had no right to float the
America ncolors, the salute to the Balti
more flag by the Spanish government was
dispensed with. When a government
wont stand up to its own and claim its
rig hts what can be expected of it.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUSHELS OF
CORN in the ear for sale at $1,25 per bushel by
JAS. A. SANDERS & SON
Me. Editor: The tournament at Ruck
ersville, Monday the 22d of December,
was an interesting occasion.
The day was bitter cold, and a driz
zling rain but added to the difficulties
under which the tilt took place, and in
creased the credit of those engaged.
It required a sight of fortitnde to ven
ture out, buffmany of the fairer sex grac
ed the occasion with their presence, and
the gallant knights showed themselves
“worthy men and true,” by donning
their fancy costumes and sallying forth
“to do or die.”
The crowd inattendance was not large,
but an appreciative one, who were so
wejl pleased as to manfully endure the
severity of the weather, and remain on
the field till the last.
The knights, twenty in number, spent
some time parading, and then proceeded
to the field near Mr. Forrester’s where
the tilt took place.
The -array of knights was beautiful in
deed, and their costumes quite becom
ing. Each well represented the charac
ter he had chosen, both in dress and
bearing.
Among the many beautiful costumes
we hope we may not be blamed for men
tioning the extreme beauty and taste in
that of the “Knight of Lorraine,” which
was of black veloet, trimin ed with silver
lace, and heavy silver fringe w ith a breast
plate of crimson with gold stars. Or of
“Orlando, Knight of the Palmetto State,”
which was very similar, only beautifully
ornamented with palmetto from his na
tive State.
Of appropriate costumes we notice
some very striking in the “Sailor Boy;
Knight of the Virginius,” who looked
every inch a sailorof “Captain Jack,
chief of the Modocs,” who with his war
paint, tomahawk, and string of scoalps,
struck terror to the heart of eve
ry observer; of the “Knight of the
Cherokees,” who from his dress, build,
reckless horsemanship, and graceful bear
ing, was indeed a fit personation of the
noble red man.
The Judges, A. R. Lucker, J. W. Sew
ell, and H.' J. Goss, Esqs., decided in
favor of the following knights:
Ist prize to Preston Allen ; 2d to Law
rence Clinkscales ; 3d to Joseph Speed;
4th to Johnnie Johnson.
Hon. E. M. Rucker then addressed
the knights in his inimitable manner.
The next thing on the tapis was the
Coronation Ball, which eume off atnight,
with Miss Bessie Rucker crowned Queen
of Youth and Beauty, Miss Lilia Cleve
land Ist Maid of Honor, Miss Jennie
Harper 2d Maid of Honor, and Miss Jen
nie McCalla 3d Maid of Honor.
Tliu bull was a fcupe.Tb affair-, tlie ladies
looking their sweetest and the gentle
men their handsomest.
Everybody looked happy, everybody
fed on the daintiest viands, then “trip’d
the light fantastic’' until the “we sma’
hours.”
"We left, Mr. Editor, “put us in our
little bed,” and dreamed of angels in
white, and the “shadows seen in sleep”
bore strong resemblance to some of the
fairies of the dance.
Aud now our unanimous verdict: Give
us more tournaments, if they be half as
pleasant as the one at Ituckersville.
"We belisve in them, we advocate them,
and shall attend the next with the
“greatest felicity.”
John Quill.

Doings at the Capitol.
Congress voted itself a holiday of fif
teen days. The new Chief Justice has
not been confirmed, nor does it appear
likely he will be. It has leaked out
that the new aspirant for the position
once held by Taney, provided his good
lady with a superb landaulet, at a cost
of SI6OO, and that, too paid by the Gov
ernment. This does not improve the
chances of Grants favorite. Williams is
willing, but the Senate won’t.
Sickles has resigned his position as
minister to Spain, and very properly.
No man of any sglf-respect would have
so insulted Spain by accrediting to them
as minister a murderer and a rowdy.
Caleb Cushing is a very creditable
man in every respect—save his chirogra
phy, which surpasses even that of Rufus
Choate in hieroglyhics. He is a man
that would do credit to any community.
The Bailrcad Prospect.
From all the indications we are in
inclined to the belief that we are to have
a railroad to Toccoa by next fall. Col.
Sage, Engineer and Superintendent of
the Air-Line R. R., is to commence the
work of surveying the route next Mon
day, and Col. Alexander promises to
have the grading done as soon as desir.
ed. This is business.

Carelessness.
Why will people who write for the
press be so careless. We have received
a notice of the death of a lady at Deca
tur, Miss, who was a former resident of
this county. No name is attached to
the notice, nor is the name of the author
given. We refi-ain from publishing on
account of the rule universally observed
by the press, to publish nothing where
the name of the author ia withheld.
We hope this will meet the eye of the
writer, whoever he is.

THE SUN.
■WTEKLYT^EMI-WEEKLYpAND^AnjY
THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known te
require any extended recommendation • but tho
reasous which have given it fifty thousand sub
scribers, and which will, we hope, give it many
thousands more, are briefly as. follows:
It is a first rate newspaper. All the news of
the day will be found in it, condensed when
unimportaut, at full length when of moment,
and always presented in a clear, intelligible,
and interesting manner.
It is u first rate family paper, full of enter
taining and instructive reading of every kind,
but containing nothing that can offend the most
delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is a first rate story paper. The best tales
and romances of current literature are caretully
selected and legibly printed in its pages.
It is a first rate agricultural paper. The most
