In July, 1865, the deceased made a profession of faith in Christ and joined the Baptist church at Harmony, and since that time has lived a consist ent Christian. Eor twelve months she was a sufferer from the disease 'from which she died. During her illness she often express ed not only a willingness but a desire to die, and urged her parents and brother and sister to live so as to meet her in Heaven, where she confidently expected to go. She desired her friends not to think of her being in the grave at Con cord church, but rather of being with Jesus, while her body was calmly repos ~"ing in the grave. A few hours before her death, she told her mother sho would die at a specified time, and re quested her to have her burial clothes prepared for her. A relative who was present, requested her that when she felt death approaching, if s-he could not speak, that she would make some sign to show how it was with her. She promised to do so, and but a few min utes before she breathed her last, she cast an expressive look at him, smiL-d, and cast her eyes upward. ♦ -Aa> <• Attention! To the Citizens of Elbert County and Vicinity. On or about the Ist of September we will open in Elberton under the Masonic Hall a FIRST CLASS GENERAL MERCHANDISE ESTABLISHMENT and COTTON BROKER business.— Highest prices will be paid for cotton and goods sold at Atlanta prices. Hav ing been established in Georgia 25 years and in New Fork No. 13 W hite Street for a number of years, is sufficient guaranty to the citizens of Elbert coun ty that we are enabled to offer induce ments unknown heretofore in inland towns. All we ask when we open our large stock of goods to give us a call and look at our prices. Our motto has al ways been “fair dealing to all'' and this has been our great success. We again invite one and all to call on us when wo receive our new goods. Our establishment shall be known as the Atlanta Stoke. Cohen & Selig, Proprietors. As arguments in favor of Mr. James a pirations to the Governorship, the Ma con Telegraph remarks that “there is something insouicant about him,” and hf is “a pillar of the Baptist Church., That’s it. By all means give us “a pil la .” An “insouicant pillar” is what we w ,nt. A Missouri correspondent of the Chi cngo Tribune tells of a swarm of locusts fionißOto 75 miles wide, half a mile and ep passing through the air at a speed o 1 15 miles an hour for sixty hours con ti uously, and driving people indoors fo. fear of being smothered to death. 'There!” exclaims the indignant Bos to i wife, as she fetches her husband a rt onant whack on the head with a chair ro ker, “I’ll raise a Bunker Hi 1 niouu nr. ut on you that you'll remember. DON’T FORGET THE CONCERT next Tuesday night. Everybody and his baby will be there. A Work for the Grangers. This organization, though it has been in existence in Elbert for nearly two years, has done but little to show to the world its power for good. We say this in no disparagement, but rather as an incentive for future usefulness. We de sire that they shall show to the people that they have the power to accomplish much in building up the country and making available its countless resources. A writer who appears to have given the subject some thought, recently said that factories for the manufacture of cot ton yarn could be put in operation with a capital of SIO,OOO. Here, then, is a chance for the members of the order in Elbert to distinguish themselves. A hundred men, by subscribing each one hundred dollars, could raise an amount sufficient to start a cotton factory, and at the same time invest their money at a far better profit than in almost any other way. We do not know any project in which the Grangers could embark that would redound more to the credit of the order than this. Will the several Masters bring this subject to the attention of their organi sations, and get expressions from the membership ? ♦•>♦. A True Picture. For the sham in art as well as in the plainer walks in life we have a feeling bordering on disgust, and, naturally, for true art v/e have always a kind word. In a country remote from railroads and other available means of ingress and egress, we have oftener tho sham palmed off on the people, and hence the people are more or less suspicious. We have now in Elberton a true ar tist, vhom we have occasionally alluded to, simply because we found that in him which was worthy of commendation. The gentleman we speak of is too mod est to parade his genius before the peo pie save in a legitimate way —that is, by the products of his art —and they speak volumes in his behalf. We allude to Prof. J. A. Wren, the photograper, who blends genuine art with his skill as a photographer, and turns out a picture the counterpart of life. Elbert county should be proud to sustain such an artist, and wo wish he could be induced to remain here, but he proposes to remain here only a few days longer. Those who expect to call on Prof. Wren should do so without delay, other wise they may have cause to reget it. Improvements. Messrs. J. C. Hudgens and S. M. Downer are constructing a grist mill at Bullard's ferry, in this county, which is expected to be ready for operation dur ing the present week. They recently put iu operation, at the same point, a line saw mill, and when the grist mill is fully completed, they intend to erect a cotton gin, which they expect to have ready for the next crop. The amount of available water power in Elbert county is hardly known by even our own citizens, and if utilised would be sufficient to give employment to a majority of the men women and children within the county's limits. The Little Leaven. We are pleased to learn that our arti cle looking to the formation of a Memo rial Association has had the effect to .stir up the ladies in some portions of the county to carry out the suggestions then made. God bless our women! They are as patriotic to-day as they were when toil ing for their absent loved ones, before the hours when thrilling joy repaid a long, long course of darkness, doubts and fears. We hope to see before long every wo man in the county enlisted in this most noble work. Board of County Commissioners. The Board had its regular meeting on Monday last, all the members present. Hon. W. T. Vanduzer was elected clerk. No business of a public character was transacted. We believe the poor house is the big gest elephant tho board has to handle, but the members have both nerve and energy to grapplo tho animal. They think they can run this institution at from a half to'two-thirds its former cost. Some disappointment was experi eueed by many of our people at the tem porary change in the departure of the Lexington mail last week, and the sub sequent change to the former schedule, without any previous notice. In justice to Dr. Edmunds, we would state that lie received orders on Tues day night which necessitated his carry ing the mail over the next morning, the time fixed in the new schedule, when he obtained permission to run by the old scheuule again. All in the Water. One day last week reports reached El berton of a terrible hurricane visiting one of the best portions of our county, which demolished houses, uprooted trees and played the mischief generally. But upon inquiry we discovered the reports owed their origin to the peculiar color of the water in that locality. Only this and nothing more. No Minstrel Show. Owing to circumstances not necessary to mention, the Elberton Minstrels will not give an exhibition next Monday night, and while this no doubt will dis appoint a good many, they console themselves by knowing that Tuesday and Wednesday nights will be gala oc casions. The lead in lead pencils is not lead at all, though it is called black lead. The weight, if nothing else, tells you that. It is a mineral called graphite—from the Greek word to write—and is more near ly related to coal than lead. LACONIQUES, Died, on the 29th of May, aged 39; Mrs. Ann E. Bates, wife of S. A. Bate®. She was a member in good standing of the Missionary Baptist Church. The deceased was a native of Jackson coun ty, and moved to Elbert in 1873, where she lived until her death. Thos. Chandler, oldest brother of Rev. Asa Chandler, deceased; joined the Car rollton Baptist church last month, at the age of 82. The ordinance of bap tism was administered by Rev. W. N. Chaudoin. Attention is called to the Card of Mr. Bernard Chedel, to be found in this pa per. He has opened an office in Elber ton for a short time for the practice of his profession. We hope he will meet with that success which his proficiency entitles him to. “Oh, no ! advertising don’t pay," Mr. Thiquesculle freqently says. But for all that, Mr. TANARUS., a gentleman in Elber ton got a SIOO job the other day which, he says, is directly traceable to a $6 ad vertisement in The Gazette. A note from Rev. J. B. Morton in forms us that he will not be able to visit Elberton to fill his appointment next Sunday. List of Letters. The following are the letters remain ing in the Elberton postoffice up to Ju ly 2d 1875: Anthony, J Alexander, H W Adams, R C Adams, W H H Adams, J Brown, Mrs M C Brown, Dr W A Bowers, Mary E Brown, Isaac Brown, Thos Blackwell, Mrs. E Brown, T H Brown, T Brown, Jos Brawner, S J Crew, Champion Clark, W II Christian, G Davis, W T Daniel, W A Fortson, Harriet Falkner, J Heard, C Hunt, Mrs F E Hewed, T A Howill, J C Hewell, Miss N Hill, J C Kelsey, D Kelsey, Mrs E A Louis, Madam Oliver, J A Phelps, T Phelps, J Upson, W White, J Watson, A. W. A. E. Huntek, P. M. Another Pic-Nic. We have been requested to announce that there will be a pic-nic at Mr. J. H. Brewer’s mill on Saturday the 17tli.—• After the entertainments of commence ment week are over everything about here will be dull and dreary, and there is no better way to wind up the pleas ures of the season than with a pic-nic.— As we make this announcement by the special request of some of the ladies, we feel warranted in further saying that it will be a felicitous time for those who will attend. The suitableness of the place is too well known to deserve com ment from us now. — 4 - ... ■ ■ v. Those Cabins. At the time fixed by the Town Coun cil—the Ist of Julj'—all the cabins em braced in the order of the Board were vacated and closed, with one exception —the property of Dr. H. C. Edmunds. One of the shops also remains open — the blacksmith shop of Jas. A. Sanders. These gentlemen propose to test, before the higher courts the jurisdiction of the Council in the premises. "Weather and Crops. Farmers have rarely as good seasons for crops as they havo had the past month, and as a result we hear excel lent reports from cotton and corn. True, the rains contribute to the growth of grass as well as the crops, but the most of our reports show them to be in com paratively good condition. All the far mers wear bright faces and are hopeful of remunerative yields for their toil. A Brooklyn correspondent reports that Mrs. Tilton is going to sue for a di vorce as soon as the present trial is over, but a good many people who still think she and Theodore will be liv ing together again yet. The union of the Black and Caspian Seas is in contemplation, and a project | for the construction of a canal two bun j dred and fifty leagues long for that pur ! pose is meeting with great favor at St. j Petersburg and Moscow. Western papers speak of an opera' bouffe singer with a mouth so large that I two dentists worked on her lower teeth ! at the same time, without m any way hindering the work of another tooth contractor, who was putting up a stag 1 ing to do a little job on the upper teeth. The statement that the ladies of Texas are engaged in raising money for the purpose of purchasing a homestead for ex-President Davis causes the New York Tribune to say: “The South laid down its arms and acknowledged the defeat of the opinions for which it was contending, bat it has never abandoned its here-worship or ceased to venerate the men who led its armies and its coun cils.” If the Tribuue means by “hero worship” that the Southern people have not forgotten nor neglected the iren whom they chose as their leaders be cause their struggle for independence proved unsuccessful the South will promptly plead guilty to the charge. Their generals and their statesmen are just as highly esteemed in defeat as if the cause had been victorious. Nor is it right for the North to expect Southern men to regard their leaders as the au thors of their misfortunes. They are not. If ever a people went into a war advisedly the Southern people did four teen years ago. If they were wrong (which we deny) they have only them selves to blame. It their revolt was trea • son Mr. Davis is no more a traitor than the humblest voter who asked him to be President of the Confederacy; General Lee was no more a traiter than the pri vate soldier iD bis army who dared dis ease and death in defense of the lost cause.—[Chronicle & Sentinel.

A large concourse of people assem bled in the courthouse on Monday last to celebrate the ninety-ninth anniversa ry of the declaration of independence, and in a befitting manner was the time celebrated. On motion Mr. It. F. Tate, President of the Town Council, took the ebair, and J. P. Shannon, Esq., was requested to act as secretary. Messrs. E B. Tate, and J. A. Y. Dun can were requested to furnish the meet ing with fans, as the weather was exces sively warm. The representative of The Gazette was provided with a seat near the secre tary. The object of the assemblage was then stated, and Maj. H. A. Roebuck asked to read the declaration of independence as drawn by our forefathers at Philadel phia in 1770. The major mounted the rostrum and in a touching and elegant manner did as requested. Never before have we seen so much talent displayed in the rendition of any.subject. With anima tion and zest he krticulated every word of the grand old document, and had Ad ams, Hancock or any of the signers bden present as it was being audibly and em phatically perused by Judge Roebuck, they would have found no flaw in his stvle. Col. S. New Iron Carpenter, having been petitioned by a large number of persons to address the people was then called for, and amid a round of applause proceeded to discourse the subject in hand in a most eloquent manner. Col. Carpenter’s oratorical powers are equal ed by few and surpassed by none. At first lie treated tha subject calmly and logically, but becoming heated with pa triotic emotions, and the vast difference between the state of the country at the present data and when the declaration was signed lie held the audience spell bound with his fiery fluency, and such a speech has not been heard in this sec tion for years. He eulogised the names of fallen heroes and patriots, and often in his address be repeated thoso memo rable words of Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death.” It was the general concession that the discourse was hard to excel. Col. Robt. Hester was next solicited for a speech to which he readily re sponded. In his inimitable manner he spoke of affairs ninety nine years ago and the condition of the country to-day. This was an age of progress and im provement, he said. To day men could hold converse with each other and be thousands of miles apart. It was hard to conjecture the improvements of the next hundred years if they at all com pared with those since’76. Ho believ ed in celebrating the 4th of July, but not altogether in speaking. He was co j incided with in this last opinion by the | orator who had just closed and by the audience. Mr. Hester acquitted i himself creditably and was heartily con ! gratulated as was Col. Carpenter for | their efforts. The meeting was then adjourned to meet the 4th of July, 1974, and the same President and Secretary will continue in office. For The Gazette.] Mil Editor : Allow me to deny through yonr paper a report, the sul - stance of which is, that I, in attempting to whip a negro woman, killed her child. I was ignorant of such rumor till yesterday, when my children were at home on a visit from your town, aid said that they had been questioned by several m regard to it. There is not a particle of truth in it. The facts are, that I did strike a ne gro woman on the head with a stick for gross insolence. Her baby was not touched. It was but three weeks old, had been very sickly from its birth, and did not die until a week after I struck its mother; and she, being a notorionr ly bad negro, sought revenge by starting this report, which was eagerly caught up by persons fclio have no regular em ployment, or at most, whose highest ambition is to tell something that will create a sensation, and make villages [it flatters their vanity to be able to get the attention of townspeople] stare. People otherwise clever and respecta ble are guilty of this practice, but who have inherited, or oy some means come ! into possession of an amount of this lit ; lleness that is truly contemptible. “ ’Tis pity, pity ’tis, ’tis true.” A. H. Langston. j July 3d, 75. The click clack of the croquet balls is I again heard in our town. A MAGNIFICENT OFFER. \ very liberal contract, which we have ji fit completed withthe Weed Sewing Ma chine Company, will enable us,, we hope, to place their celebrated machines in many families throughout the country. So fine an opportunity to secure a first class sewing machine seldom occurs.

We will liberally reward those who work for us. Reader, can you not form a club in your neighborhood and secure this sewing machine premium. A few hours of well-directed effort will obtain it. Postmasters in the smaller towns and villages can, with a little thought and effort, easily send us the requisite number of names. Has tho parsonage a sewing machine? If not, call upon a few ladies and gertlemen of the congre gation Tell them your plan and ask them to help. In the congregation fifty names can with little difficulty be se cured. Send us the SIOO and wo will forward for one year this paper to each of the fifty subscribers, which will pay them tho full value of their subscrip tions, and in addition, we will make a present, to any person you may desig nate, of a beautiful sixty five dollar Sct ing Machine. How easily a club can be formed in tho Masonic or Temperance Society or the Grange? Is there not depending upon your society some poor widow to whom a sewing machine would be for years to come a blessing ? Pass the subscription paper. Fifty subscribers at $2.00 each, will secure for themselves, without any extra charge, the paper for one year and a most valuable present for some needy family. Try it, friends. Don’t wait!

The Scientific American announces that an insect, hostile to housewives and slumber, has been purged of his pestil ential qualities by a simple scientific method, and rendered a delightful and indispensable article of the dressing ta ble. By soaking nice fat bod bugs in a saturated solution of nitrate of potash and water, a perfume, delicate, delicious, penetrating, and like nothing else in the wide world, is obtained. Impressed by this revelation, the Chi cago Tribune says; What an impetus this will give to tho slaughter of insects of this suasion ! Ni trate of potash is cheap, and bed bugs are plentiful. The underpaid clerk on five dollars a week, liv.ng at a dingy, third class boarding house, has in this announcement the wherewithal to ac cumulate a competency.
