Next Meeting of Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors of the Eiber
ton Air-Line Kail road Company will
bold its next meeting at Franklin

July.
We are inclined to the belief that at

will come before the Board—something
of a deliuite character.

exercises l of the Andrew Male High
School opens with a sermon on Sunday,

extending over Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, viz : The first two days de
voted to ti e examination of classes, and
Wednesday devoted to speaking. No
exercises at night.
BT lie various amusements at night will
probably be as follows :
Monday night, the Elberton Minstrels
contemplate giving one of their enter
tainments.
Tuesday night, concert by a number
of ladies and gentleman of Elberton.
Wednesday night, sociable by young
gentlemen.
Organization of County Commissioners.
The several gentlemen whom we men
tioned last week as having been commis
sioned to act as County Commissioners,
met in tlie courthouse last Friday and
were duly qualified for the performance
of business.
The Board was organised by the se
lection of Dr. L. L. Clark as presiding
officer and Hon. W. H. Mattox as Sec
retary.
The first Monday of each month was
chosen as the day for the regular meet
ings of the Board.
Without the transaction of any fur
tlier business the Board then adjourned.
We congratulate the comity that it is
provided with a council of such public
spirited gentlemen to look after the pub
lic matters. With their administration
of county affairs we expect renewed con
fidence and prosperity.
Five Dollar Harness.
The negro Tom Mattox whose specu
lations in harness wo mentioned last
week, wan up bcioro the County Court
last Saturday for * hearing. The Court
took into consideration the enterprising
character of Tom, and unwilling to de
privo the county of his talents a small
license for carrying on his traffic was
required of §5 and costs, or in lieu 01
■which imprisonment lor thirty days.
Tom is making arrangements to pay up.
This is rather a high sum for second
hand plow gear, but he will soon restore
that amount if he continues in the same
business.

Errata. —In a communication wo pub
lished last week about a trip to Toccoa,
an error occurred which was not of an
amusing character, though it may be as
tonishing to know why it is not so. The
author wrote that he was “amused at a
sign,” etc , but the obstinate types, un
equal to the amusement, insisted upon
making the writer “astonished, much
to that clever gentleman’s discomfiture,
and also to the loss of the amusement
which would otherwise be afforded by
the rustic sign.
Morton aad Grant have been log roll
ing, and it is stated that Grant has pro
mised t.is influence to secure the Presi
dential nomination for his pal.
The Dead Soldiers of Elbert.
Ten years have past since the. close of
the war, which, for its magnitude was
never surpassed. Though defeated in
the object for which the patriotic South
rons fought and bled and died, their
bravery has elicited the eneoniums of the
world. Georgia was not behind her sis
ter States in the struggle to attain a
separate nationality and our noble old
State sent no braver troops to the front
than those from Elbert. The blood of
our county’s bravest and best was sbed
in that struggle. Other communities
have by shaft or tablet placed onjrecord
the names of their heroic,dead. Elberthas
not. While enduring tbe privations in
eidenfc to war, the sympathies of the la
dies were manifested for them in the
liveliest manner. Mothers and sisters,
wives and daughters left nothing un
done that was in their power to alle
viate the sufferings of their loved patri
ots. Many of them, however, were left
upon the ensanguined field to fill un
known graves, many more died at bom©
from bullet wounds or sickness from ex
posure. Shall they be forgotten ? Shall
our children when they grow to mature
years fail to find a memento of the self
sacrificing lovers of their country ? Oh,
no! Let our ever patri die women de
clare against such a disgrace to our com
m unity.
We believe it is only necessary for
their attention to be called to this sub
ject in order that our matrons, wives
and daughters may take it in band and
combine and struggle for tlia erection of
such a monument as shall be a testimo
ny to posterity of our appreciation of the
gallantry of our chivalrous heroes who
died in the defence of all that was dear
to the heart of every true Southron.
To reduce the matter to practical con
sideration, we propose to the ladies of
Elbert that two from each militia dis
trict be sent up at an appointed time for
the purpose of forming a memorial asso
ciation, which will give it a start that
will most certainly result in success.
We merely offer this as a suggestion,
in order to see if a start in this good
work cannot be made. If ethers have
any other plan to offer let them consider
our columns always open to their use.
Who will be the first to start the ball
in motion ? To you ladies, we look for
opening up, and carrying on this glori
ous work.

A Fail-Grown Zephyr.
Me. Editor : Having probably a better
opportunity than yourself of dotting
down the dimensions of the ‘‘big blow’’
last Wednesday, and some amusing oc
currences during that time, I with your
permission will submit a description to
your readers:
The country at this particular time is
charged with fears of cyclones, storms
and the like, occasioned from many dis
astrous winds of late, their proximity to
our borders, and the big “fuss” the pa
pers have made about them, until it is a
lamentable fact that some of our people
can scai'cely look upon the disturbance
of a leaf by a passing zephyr without en
tertaining fears of overwhelming disas
ter. But the storm of which lam go
ing to make some observations was cal
culated to rrake the most heedless feel
serious, snd the most careless sober, for
Elbert county witnessed a wind storm
last Wednesday the size and fierceness
of which is seldom seen in this section
of country. All of a sudden on tlie af
ternoon of the day above mentioned, ev
ery one about town bad their attention
attracted by a fearful noise that came
from a westerly direction. It was about
5 o’clock. Your correspondent was sit
uated where he could watch the ravages
of the terrible whirlwind, and the move
ments of the many persons who were
more or less frightened by it, and was
very restless on that account.
As those who were startled by the
roaring in the west turned their heads
in that direction a sight which met their
gaze was one causing dismay, and many
exclaimed simultaneously “that's acy
clone!” About the distance of a mile
could be seen falling the majestic pines
and oaks, felled as rapidly almost as
grain before the reaper. Fences when
in the course of the whirl were taken up
and the rails were floating about in the
upper regions like “chaff before the
wind,” and with rapid strides the dread
ed • blow” neared the square where ma
ny expected to take passage on its wings
to some far away shore, and the proba
bilities are that some of them would
have gone to the climate where ice
cream would have had to have been fro
zen to have stood it long. Just before it
reached the square it tippled a house on
Major Bristol’s premises, and a moment
more a cloud of dust enveloped every
thing, and o.'d Boreas seemed to be giv
ing full sway to his pent up fury, and
for a considerable length of time his rag
ings were unabated.
One individual started in lightning-ex
press haste for the big gully, declaring he
was not frightened,‘and that he was ready
to die, but in case the time was at hand
lie didn’t care to trouble his friends
with the inconvenience attendant upon
an interment and funeral. Another gen
tleman whose morality is unquestiona
ble left his liouse of business and as in
the days of Noah ran behind a large pile
of bricks and prayed for them to fall on
him. not because he was afraid of being
killed, no, no ! merely because he had
a fond attachment for the spot and didn’t
like the idea of being blown from the dear
old place. We might mention numerous
other similar cases, but forbear.
Scarcely a drop of rain fell in Elber
ton during the storm, had it been ac
companied by wind or hail there can be
no imagining the injury that might have
been done.
Near Antioch it rained a little arid the
wind was severe, and through the coun
ty the people were generally alarmed
as to the safety of life and property, but
so far as we have been able to ascertain
the amount of damage done, we find it
wonderfully small considering that “big
blow.” K.
Young Joseph Henry Lumpkin, a
grand-nephew of Chief Justice Lump
kin, died in Atlanta recently.
The Ice-Oream Festival.
The festival given by the ladies of the
Sewing Club on Tuesday night of last
week was -a great success. The court
house was selected for the place, and
the .tables were arranged in that- pecu
liarly attractive style for which the El
bert ladies are noted. Flowers here
and there, tastefully entwined, added
much to the charm of the room, but fair
Flora had to hide herself before the
greatest charm of the occasion—the la
dies themselves.
. There was but one drawback to the
festival. The ice-cream could not be
made with sufficient rapidity. We have
heard three reasons assigned for this :
1. The freezer was too small; 2. The ap
petites of the visitors were too vora
cions; 3. The mail at the freezer was
having chills. We incline to attribute it
to the first two, because a man who
would stand at an ice-cream freezer and
have a chill occasionally by way of vari
ety, deserves, not only to be freed from
blame, but to have his heroism celebrat
ed in verse, ala “Cassabianca.”
There was one present, however, who
evidently secured enough of the frozen
ambrosia, for he has done it up in verse,
and which we gladly give place to:
ICE CUE AM.
By a patron of the Ice-Cream Festival.
Oh, rozen cream, to thee I sing!
To thee the poet’s song I bring—
Whose charm unites
All sweet delights,
Anu fills the thirsty sense with praise
To see return June's summer rays :
Hiil sweat ice cream,
Divine ice cream!
I taste thy joys, ar.d it doth seem
Thy spell allays the sultry beam;
The sun may flame—
Refreshed my frame,
Transported my enchanted soul,
I’rorn southern heats to Aictic pole—
I iriat. I dream.
Of seas of cream.
Oh. summer nights of sweet ice cream !
Though Venus, Mars, or Sirius beam
In skies above—
Thou art my love ;
In thy sweet light I bear my lot—
E’en sun and moon and stars forgot—
Enraj t I scream
Thy joys, icecream.
bet lovers praise fair lady’s charms.
And worship ye3 and lips and arms,
To taste h*r sweets
Love’s own sweetmeats !
They cannot yet my heart control—
Thou art the passion of my soul,
Fair, sweet ice cream !
For thee I scream 1
Let poets sing of joys divine
They find in woman and in wine 1
Their cups of joy
Have base alloy ;
Their nectared sweets they stilbmay hold—-
Their pleasures bought with love or gold !
I sing ice cream—
I scream “ice cream!”
The gods themselves could only know
The joys that from ambrosia flow ;
But never this
Could give such bliss, •
As mortals find o’ summer nights,
In tasting all thy sweet delights,
Cool, frerh ice cream !
Divine ice cream !
Which we think fills the ice cream bill.
The evening was a most enjoyable'one
to those who had the good fortune to be
present. We wish such festivals could
be given often. They infuse new life
into the business man, and refresh him
for future work and study.
We learn the Sewing Club cleared
nearly fifty dollars by the evening’s en
tertainment, a very snug little sum for a
noble cause.
The Wind Storm Elsewhere.
On last Wednesday, the day the infant
tornado made its appearance in Elber
ton, a wind stoi'm visited Cleveland,
Tenn., at 3 p m., lasting about twenty
minutes, doing, however, but little dam
age in town. The country around it
was thought was considerably damaged.
Charleston, Tenn., was also visited by
the storm, where a number of houses
were unroofed, telegraph wires broken,
fences demolished, trees uprooted, etc.
We hear that Anderson, S. C, was
also visited, and some damage done.
Hartwell came in for a share, but here
a heavy hail is reported—the only place
we have yet heard from where there was
either hail or rain. The wind there was
violent, but doing less damage than in
other places in the county. Rumor has
it that several houses were blown down
in the county. We expected a full ac
count from our excellent correspondent,
but from some unknown cause he is si
lent this week. We hope he is still on
terra Anna.
At Elberton the wind blowed in about
an easterly direction —as also reported
at Cleveland, Tenn.
The Chronicle and Sentinel gives a
graphic description of a visit paid Au
gusta by the storm king. It made its
appearance in that city at 7 p.m., and
created quite a panic among its clever
denizens. A roof or two were removed,
and but little other damage done. A
child was lifted from its mother’s arms
and rolled a distance of about twenty
feet along the ground.
These gentle zephyrs are becoming
painfully monotonous, and show a cruel
spite on the part of th 9 clerk of the
weather.
When will the South be rid of its un
welcome visitors. War, famine, recon
struction and tornadoes. It is gratify
ing to note that each succeeding disease
diminishes in terror—if we only place
reconstruction at the head of the list.
Special Notice. —After the Ist of Ju
Iv, 1875, no postage stamps will be sold
on account, and none will go out of the
postoffice until paid for.

Observations.
The way things blowed around here
last week w&s fearful.
The Elberton Minstrel band has been
engaged we understand for the com
mencement.
The threshers in operation in ilie
county are knocking out the wheat at a
fearful rate, and their number is esti
mated at eleven thousand.
A washing rain fell in this section
last Saturday night, causing some dam
age to crops.
The dam recently washed away from
Heard & Campbell’s saw mill is being
rapidly reconstructed and will be finish
ed in a day or two.
In a straw pen during a storm is the
preference of a young gentleman we
know.
Why don’t somebody say something
about Franklin Springs. Now is about
tho time.
For the information of the incpiisitive
we state that the printing office lot has
already produced seventeen crops of va
rious kinds, and that there is now aline
crop of Peruvianipecacguanhatous peas
growing on it.
Talk about the dullness of an old fr< e,
Elberton about now will make an old
shoe ashamed of itself.
Some of the young people had a hop
letst Saturday afternoon. We guess ’twas
Crops are reported generally as flour
ishing.
The Quarterly meeting was held at
Bethlehem church last Saturday and
Sabbath.
The boys expect a gay time during
tho commencement.
Roasting ears are the latest.
The Sewing Society still sews and
reaps we reckon the reward of their la
bora.
There will be no examination or exhi
bition at the close of the Elberton Fe
male Institute this year.
Missing Letter.— lf the gentleman
who mailed a letter at Cold Water P. 0.,
on or about the 24th May, addressed to
“E. Taylor, Secretary State Grange,
Macon, Ga.,” will call on the editor of
this paper he will learn of its wherea
bouts.
-
Giant Powder. —We think it is being
clearly demonstrated that, for blasting
pmqtoses, the powder known as giant
powder surpasses in power and effect
that which is ordinarily used for the pur
pose. Until lately most of us knew no
thing of this new explosive, blit tbe op
portunities we have had recently to wit
ness the effects of its use, satisfies us
of its superiority.
HOW DEINKIIG CAUSES APOPLEXY.
It is the essential nature of all wines
and spirits to send an increased amount
of blood to tho brain. The first effect
of taking a glass of wine or stronger
form of alcohol, is to send the blood
there faster than common ; hence the
circulation that gives the red face. It
increases the activity of the brain, and
it works faster, and so does the tongue.
But as the blood goes to the braiu faster
than common, it returns faster, and no
special harm results. But suppose a
man keeps on drinking, the blood is
sent to the brain so fast, in such large
quantities, that in order to make room
for it the arteries have to enlarge them
selves; they increase in size, and in do
ing so they press against tho more
yielding flaccid veins which carry the
blood out of the brain and thus dimin
ish their size, their pores, the result be
itg that the blood is not only carried
to the arteries of the brain faster than
is natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual; hence,
a double set of causes of death are in
operation Hence, a man may drink
enough of brandy or other spirits in a
few hours, cr even minutes, to bring
on a fatal attack of apoplexy. This is
literally being dead drunk.
FDr. Hall.
The Mobile Register states that the
land commissioner of the Mobile and
Ohio railroad Lias completed such ar
rangements as will enable him to fur
nish any number of English farm labor
ers to such planters along the line of
that road as may wish to contract with
them on the share system. The planter
will be expected to advance the necessa
ry means to pay passage over from Eng
land, which will be about $35 gold for
adults and half that sum for children
under twelve years of age, this advance
to be prepaid by the laborer from his
portion of the crop. It is predicted
that this movement will solve the labor
question so far as Alabama is concerned,
as other railroad corporations, intersect
ing all portions of the State, will follow
the example of the Mobile and Ohio road
should the experiment meet with success
predicted for it.
The headquarters of the National
Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry,
which, ever since the organization of the
order in 1868 have been in Washington,
will probably be moved to Louisville,
Ky., in a short time. At the last annu
al session of the National Grange in
Charleston, S. C-, in February last the
Executive Committee was charged with
the selection of anew point for head
quarters to be located in one of the five
Western States named, and the change
was to be made in six months from last
March. The committee, it is under
stood, have, after due investigation, se
lected Louisville as the most eligible lo
cation, although it was expected that St
Louis would be chosen.
Dr. Little, State Geologist is publish
ing the survey of the State. He intends
to make an exhibition of our minerals at
the Centennial. He thinks iron the
most valuable mineral in the State ; says
there is an abundance of it, as good, in
some places as can be found anywhere,
and all of an excellent quality. Next to
iron are copper and gold. There is
hardly any lead in the State, and neither
tin, silver or zinc has been found. The
copper mines near Villa Rica furnish
rich specimens.
LACONIQUES.
If some industrious gentleman would
undertake to furnish the Elberton mar
ket with beef he would put a number of
hungry jaws to work, and, besides, put
money in liis purse.
A standing rule among editors is that
they will not undertake to return reject
ed manuscript.
Wc are glad to see Col. T. <T. Bowman
walking our streets again, stately as ever,
and, to all appearances, fully restored to
health. May he live long and prosper.
The glad respite from the heat afford
ed by the clouds and rains of the past
few days, was duly appreciated.
The Town Council promises to do a
good thing for its exchequer by the new
stock law. It may turn out a good
thing in taking up stray stock from the
country.
With the completion of the E. A. L.
HR. Elberton is to have a bank and a
telegraph.
Several cases were brought before the
Town Council on Monday night, but
which were all postponed till Saturday
next.
“Little Jim,”ahead as usual in keeping
ice, has all tho necessary concomitants
as well as uneqnalod skill in making
things palatable. Lager and free lunch
a specialty.
The District Meeting.
At tho District Meeting held at Hart
well last year it was un.lerstood that
Clarkosville, Habersham county, would
be tbe place for the one to come off
during the present year, and up to a re
cent date the determination of the meet
ing at Hartwell was nnrevoked. We
learn, however, that for good reasons tho
place of convention has been changed
from Clarkeeville to Toccoa City. We
thing the. last named town much more
desirable than tlia first for the assem
blage, as they are largely attended, and
Toccoa City is so situated as to be very
accessible both by rail and private con
vcyance, and, then, the accommodations
at this town are much better than at
Clarkesville, and consequently visitors
can without trouble find places to stop
while attending the meeting. It con
veues oii Wednesdry before the 3d Sab
bath in August, according adjourn

An Act Deserving the Severest Punishment.
Last Saturday night a drunken ne
gro, Bill Jones by name went to the
door of a house in Elberton and boldly
demanded admittance. The gentleman
of the house was absent and the lady,
though very much frightened, told him
lie could not enter, and that he had bet
ter go about his business. This the im
pudent scoundrel refused to do, how
ever, and remained on the porch for
probably an hour, to the terror of tho
lady and her children. This is an act
that deserves the most rigorous enforce
ment of the law, and if there is no law
lo suit the case one should be provided
by the citizens for thisnegroe’s particular
benefit. What his real intentions wore
does not appear, but it is sufficient|that
ho frightened an unprotected lady.
Chief of Police.
The head of the police force in Elber
ton now is Col. D. L. Adams. But a
short time lias he served in the official
capacity of Marshal, and for one wholly
untutored in the profession exhibits rare
merit as a policeman. Since his inaug
uration business for his • attention has
been unusually brisk. Impounding
stock, clearing trees from the streets,
blown down my the recent “tycoon,”
fixing the pump and so forth, and no v
to give him more business, a citizen of
town has recently reported to him a lot
of birds that had been damaging his
garden, and threatens reporting him to
the council if he fails to arrest the dep
redators. This is heavy, but if any one
can stand it, Dun’s tho man.
Besignation.
Mr. John D. James, lately Marshal of
Elberton tendered his resignation to the
council the other day, which was accepted.
Mr. James is running a first class thresh
ing machine, and necessarily being com
pelled to be absent for a considerable
length of time from town resigned his
position as Marshal. May he live long
and happily, and as a certain individual
we know of would say, “finally reach
that mansion not made by hands where
the wicked cease from troubling- eter
nal in the heavens, and the weary be
at rest.”
Now is the Time.
Prof. Wren, the artist, tells us that he
is absolutely compelled to leave Elber
ton in a week or two, and asks us to no
tify the people of the fact. Therefore,
be it resolved, that everybody wishing
excellent photographs made, had better
give the said Wren a call at once, and
therefore, be it further resoluted, that
as whereas, if they don’t they will fail to
obtain the said pictures as specified
in the foregoing preamble and resolu
tion.
Committee, J. A. Wren.
The Ohio Democratic platform favors
