A Free Fight.
Calvin Brewer, a young blood of yel
low hue, sauntering proudly down one
of our back streets on Monday morning
last, met a saffron-stained demoiselle, of
whose behavior recently he thought he
had some just cause of complaint. Myr
tys, the angelic creature alluded to, was
charged by the knightly Calvin with
wrong-doing, which so shocked her mod
est nature, that she blushingly but ear
nestly pronounced him a liar. This clas
sic language comported not with the dig
nity of this lord of colored creation, and
with stately mien he approached her with
uplifted cane to inflict a merited castiga
tion. The terror-stricken maiden, with
hands across her breast and eyes uplift
ed, her glance resting upon the topmost
boughs of a stunted pine, in great ago
ny exclaimed:
“Look a-here, nigger, don't you hit
me wid dat dar stick!”
This touching appeal caused the blooa
to tingle in the heel of the irate knight,
and, dropping the offending weapon, he
strode to the shrinking modonna, seized
her by the slender throat, and with that
peculiar art, once practiced by the no
ble Afghanistans, known as the knee
lock, flung her madly to the earth. With a
wild, piercing shriek the insulted maiden
fell upon tha damp sward, and swooned
away. The tramp of hurrying feet now
fell upon the ear of this noble youth,
and with the appearance of one who had
done an ignoble deed, he muttered—
'* TO BK CONTINUED.
[Note. —The faintly falling footsteps
eaught by the cautious Calvin only her
raided the approach of the Marshal, who
put a stop to all nonsense by arresting
both parties and carrying them before
the Town Council, which body, after hear
ing the evidence, imposed a fine of five
dollars and costs upon each individual.
Two other cases of similar character met
a similar fate.— Finis.]
The Force of Habit.
We have suspicions of having heard
the following story before, but an old
friend locates it on a man in Eloert coun
ty, and therefore it should be published.
An old citizen of the county, of that
clebs known as the “rolling stone that)'
gathers no moss,” was said to move his
residence about four times a year.
always had a number of chickens and*
when ready to move he would drive his
wagon into the y ird, catch his chickens,
tie them, and throw them in the wagon.
But after a few moves the chickens
bo used to that sort of thing that when
the wagon was brought in they would
resignedly walk up to it and lay*
down with legs crossed for the accus
tomed binding.
Of course we cannot vouch for the
truth of the above, but it comes from
such a reliable source as to leave no room
for doubt.
The County Court.
The following cases have been dis
posed of the past few days :
The State vs. Toliver Mattox, larceny
from the house —stealing a bottle of
whiskey from Gr. W. Bristol; tried, found
guilty, fined S2O and costs, and planked
down the cash.
The State vs. same party, same offence
-—stealing a piece of cloth from same
party; dismissed.
The State vs. Bob Brown —assault
and battery—putting a head on a little
nig; dismissed.
All of the defendants are darkly cob
ored.
Civil cases ad lib.
Sickness.
We learn of the illness of Rev. Asa
Chandler with many feelings of regret.
The reverend gentleman has been very
much indisposed for over a week with
an affection of the lungs. We under
stand that he has a very troublesome
cough to contend with. His health for
some time has been more or less failing
him, owing somowhat, we suppose to his
becoming aged. We look anxiously for
his recovery.
Town and County.
Anna’Hunt a waff!?* in
here. The opinions of her doom are
numerous and varied.
No balloon ascension took place last
Saturday as previously announced. We
suppose it “busted” somewhere before
it reached Elberton, i. e., it “went up’’
literally.
We have had some damp weather
about here lately. The wintry blast,
with sound terrific, rushed wildly past
the precincts of our village, last Satur
day, morning, noon, and night. The
sun has now"come to see us once more.
Long may he abide with us for the good
of gardeners.
There has been another poisoning
case reported to us as having happened
in Madison county. Both parties are
citizens of Elbert.
Elberton was made dark and gloomy
Saturday. Firstly, by the lowering
clouds, and secondly, by the unusual
number of fifteenth amendment benefi
ciaries.
We noticed more than one person on
show-day that had imbibed too much in
spiring John Barleycorn. ’Twas a slip
pery day.
We suppose Ruckersville was exceed
ingly lively last Friday.
The office of the the President of the
E. A. R. R. is up-stairs in the Tates’
building.
We notice the arrival of our Repre
sentative Jas. L. Heard, and Senator
Robt. Hester. They have enjoyed good
health during their absence, and we wel
come their return with a great deal of
felicity.
“There’s Nothing Better,” is the brand
of a cigar sold by General F. W. Smith,
at the Lamar House Saloon. Let no
man say that there is better cigar in El
berton, until he has tried this celebra
ted brand.
Our Satan went to the show on Sat
urday, and has been glorying over his
cheating the “show-folks” out of seventy
five cents.
Some man had the “cheek” the other
day to suggest that we study law. He
was oblivious of his dangerous situation,
because he was perfectly serene and com
posed in his manner. We would have
“put a heal on him,” but we think he
intended to flatter us, so we compromis
ed by giving our opinion of a flatterer
thus, “of all wild beast preserve us from
a tyrant; and of all tame—a flatterer.”—
Ho wilted.
“Here’s my most pious reveres,” is an
Elbert county nigger’s toast for a drink
of liquor.
A light at “Fiddler's Green," alias Nigger
Town, alias Harrisburg.
That august bodj r , the Council
of Elberton, was called upon yesterday
to satisfactorily, or otherwise 1 , compro
mise a significant misunderstanding that
had accidently arisen between a couple
of ladies of high repute, residing within
thf corporation, at “Fiddler’s Green,”
a nytle town of niggers, east of the pub
square. It seems that this difficulty had
grown out of the case that the Council
upon on Monday. The “fuss”
was between Miss City Baker, and Mrs,
Henny Blackwell. Henny was the moth
er of the blushing damsel engaged in the
disturbance of the peace on Monday,
and City the female parent zbf
Mart implicated in the sjime affair.—
• These zealous mothers, are iniTbd in
blood as well a sin color, and are when
mad, 4 we learn, viragosirTheir
'cliaractrf’s from early infancy, hyrbeen
immaculate as every one knows, we
have not time to review their lives. But
the ‘-facts concerning the case are vthese:
Henny made City a pop-call to ascertain
tbecause, if possible, why City s son
Calvin had struck her daughter Myrtys ?
4tot being able to find out the reason of
tblTstriking, began to use some • very
unlady-like exjTres'ffions,
City, became enraged afc the
many slanderous and threatening words
employed in abusing her, and came bold
ly to the front, and began to tell what
she knew about the state affairs, and was
somewhat loud in her and
soloud became their heinous excla ma
mationa that
“Their clamours rend the hills around.
And earth re-bellowed with ihe sound
And-mnny a groan increased the din
From broken teeth and battered shin ”
City succeeded in knocking one of
Henny’s food mastlcaters out of her
mouth. Soon after this knocking oc
curred our vigilant Marshal, Col. J. L
Deadwyler, as usual reached the spot
where war had so lately raged, arrested
the trangressors, and on yesterday mom
ing took them before the Council, who saw
fit to replenish the treasuy of the town
with $lO and costs from Mrs. Blackwell,
and $5 and costs from Miss Baker.
Those who in quarrels interpose
Mutt often wipe a bloody nose,
And he who before this Council goes
Is said by one who sadly knows,
Has then just as good as lost,
Five dollars, ten or twenty and cost,
Elberton, Last Saturday.
•• M'R.-'ilUtTcjß: Yftf
that it takes a sale-day, a hanging, & ma
sonic celebration, a court-week, a show
or some other raxety to break the peace
ful quietude of our noted law-abiding
city. Our town is usually quiet, because
as usual everybody attends to their
own business. But occasions have and
will come when the hub bub and excite
ment of our village is astonishing lively.
Last Saturday, Elberton’s sacred pre
cincts were pervaded by the presence of
a menagerie and calisthenic exposition,
and hence the gathering of the multi
tude.
We forgot to put in the balloon ascen
sion, which was to have taken place on
that day. No doubt this had a great
deal to do with bringing the people to
gether. But, alas! the trip among the
clouds did not take place. We suppose,
Mr. Editor, the cause of the non-ascen
sion was that the clouds had descended,
and were too lowering for the balloon to
have gone up, had an attempt been made
on the part of the proprietors of the ex
hibition to that effect. But as we are no
aeronaut we will forbear further comment
ere we expose our ignorance, but howev
er that may be, those that came to see
the balloon were disappointed. |
Under the canvass to the left, WUik
seated the white population, to the rignP
on seats were perched a numberless
throng of African extraction, nearly of
all colors and sizes, from the color of a
piece of brown paper saturated with vin
egar, to a piece of black alpaca smear
ed with lampblack, all sizes too, from a
piece of chalk, upwards.
We thought some of the animals, Mr.
Editor, very fine, although the collection
was small. The Tigers were as fine as
we have ever seen. The collection was
rare.
The tumbling by Messrs. Levantine, &
Davenport, we thought good. The trap
eze acting of Mr. Chas. Davenport at
night, surpassed any performance of like
character we have ever witnessed. Mr.
Levantine’s balancing, and gymnastic ex
ecution were hard to excel. We cannot
overlook the feats performed by M’lle
Lotino Belmont on the trapeze She
made herself a favorite with those pres
ent. Mr. Foster, the master of perform
ances became very popular, both as a
manager and as a negro-personating
adept.
We think Messrs. Wooten & Andrews
stand a good prospect of becoming very
popular as show-people in the South. If
it is truly a Southern exhibition, and re
garding “Billy Andrews” as we do, a
gentleman, we wish his firm success in
the enterprise.
Not until late, according to -oUr tell,
were our streets cleared Saturday night
of those who had got tangle-footed. But
during the day we heard of no particu
lar disturbance. We suppose the day
was enjoyed to some extent by nearly
all.
Lookek-On.
Toccoa City.
This is the terminus of The Elberton
Air-Line Railroad, lately surveyed and,
we hope, soon to be built.
Its growth is something wonderful,
and its prospects for the future enticing.
On the 13th of May, 1873, thirteen
lots were sold, and on the 28th of May,
ninety-two lots. About the last of May
the first house was built by Mr. Ramsey.
There are now fifty houses and about
tw r o hundred and fifty inhabitants.
There are ten stores, tkree-bar-roonfe,
one hotel, three livery stables, a school
house, a tin shop, a dancing hall, two
doctors, and “ nary ” lawyer.
When the Elberton Air-Line is built,
look out for another Atlanta.

FRESH COCOANUTS, a prime lot, for sale
by ' JAS. U. SANDERS.
r JO& Atlanta Herald sayis that the mo
tion to pay Jones only SSOO
for his extra services in the negotiation
of the Nutting bombs comes under the
head of contemptrole parsimony. The
placing of these bonds by Mr. Jones at
par is it triumph, the like of which Geor
gia has never before enjoyed. Had the
bonds been given to bankers to negotiate,
their charges would have been per
eent., or $30,000, and it is quite proba
ble that by the several bankers who held
them being placed in rivalry to each other,
and being anxious to send them off, they
would have beqn sold at much less than
par. Indeed, the Legislature would
have been quite willing to have been as
sured of realizing $1,100,000 net on the
whole issue, allowing the SIOO,OOO extra
for shrinkage and expenses. Treasurer
Jones has raised the credit of the State
by holding every bond till par was offered
for it; he has realized upon every bond
at a cost of not quite $10,000! For
economy this has no parallel! In an oc
casion of public panic, to sell $1,200,000
of the bonds of a State whose credit was
under a cloud, at par, and expend only
SIO,OOO in the whole transaction, is a mar
vel of skill and sagacity. The Legisla
ture should vote him $5,000 without a
day’s delay. An they would honor them
selves in the act!
Notice. —In another column of this
issue Wyatt Robertson calls attention to
his barber-shop.
TROUBLE IN OAMP.
A paper published at Washington. D.
C., being the organ of our colored fel
low citizens —edited by Fred. Douglass
and family—fired this shot the other
day.
“This joumol has stood by the Repub
lican party simply because that party
stood by the negro. Up to this time we
have had some but no vital reasons of
complaint, and we hope never to have
any; but it should be understood that
.fair-dealings towards us by our political
'associates is the indespensible grounds
iof anything worth the name of political
co-partnership, and should the time ever
arise when .our people f jel that their in
terests have been sacrificed in the
slaughter of any of their representatives,
we are but the servants of our race and
must link our fortune with their de
mand.”
Which means that the aforesaid organ
considers the chief end and aim of the
Republican party to be the champion
ship of the African race, and whenever
[that championship is not properly con
ducted, “the hand of Douglass is his
.own,” and he will proceed to place it
’ where it will do the most good. This is
making a square issue, which the domi
nant party will do well to heed; and it
comes from one having authority, and
not from a Democratic Scribe, or a Con
servative Pharisee. Douglass is a pow
er ih the land, and whenever he sounds
the alarm the children of Ethiopian Is
rael will betake themselves to their tents
and concoct a general stampede which
may break a good many political slates.
The immediata cause of this solemn
warning is the U. S. Senate’s treatment
of Pinchback.—Chicago Tribune, [Re
pulican.]

THE GREAT REMEDY FOR
CONSUMPTION
which can be cured by a
timely resort to this stand
ard preparation, as has been
proved by the hundreds of
testimonials received by the
proprietors. It is acknowl
edged by many prominent
physicians to be the most
reliable preparation ever in
troduced for the relief and
cure of all Lung complaints,
and is offered to the public,
sanctioned by the experience
of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel
dom fails to effect a speedy
cure in the most severe
cases of Coughs, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough,
Influenza, Asthma, Colds,
Sore Throat, Pains or Sore

Liver Complaint, Bleeding
at the Lungs, &c. Wistar’s
Balsam does not dry up a
Cough, and leave the cause
behind, as is the case with
most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the
lungs, and allays irritation,
thus removing the cause of
the complaint.
