This is all very proper, gentlemen, j but be sure and abide them in better faith than some newspaper men we wot j of, or your work will come to naught, j Come up, beligerents, here they all ! stand in a row, all the same price. Pay your money and take your choice. Here are old ones and young ones, tall ones and short ones, lean lawyers and fat lawyers, handsome barristers and home ly barristers, any description you want, I save that they arc all wondrous wise and j wide awake. ! Don't be afraid of the defective labor i system, their charges are high, but they make the best of servants. They omy expect ‘•To work hard, live well, Die poor, and go to li—heaven, or elsewhere.’' Our Schools. Tiie mode and female schools of Elber ton closed last Friday. Col. P. E. Di van t .will continue as principal of the male school next year, but Prof. H P. Sims retires from the female school, of which he has been in charge for about seven years. Wherever he goes he will j carry with him the esteem, the confi donee, and high personal regard of those j whose children he has fitted for practi cal life. Eminently fitted for the educa tion of youth, he cannot fail to receive that appreciation to which his qualities so justly entitle him. Mrs. Capers, who succeeds Professor Sims, reached Elberton last Friday, and will open the school on the 19th of Jan uary. She comes to us with the highest recommendations as to her ability to build up and sustain schools We hope our schools will be more prosperous the coming year than they have been for a year or two past. Christmas. Mr. Selig contemplates bringing to Eiberton a full line of goods suitable for the Christmas holidays, and from the character of the house the little folks will know where to go to find just want they want. Other merchant will perhaps have a supply, but we have no intimation of it at these headquarters. Hartwell, as set forth elsewhere, is to have a Christmas tree, and from the way those good people fixup things a happy time may be counted on by those who attend. What the nature of the festivities here will be we think has not boon deter mine, as attention is now absorbed by the military supper on the night of the 10th. Due notice of festivities will be heralded in these columns. Call and examine my entice stock of ready made clothing. I have suits from $4 50 to $34, cut and made in the latest styles. J. Selig. Y. M. 0. A. It is gratifying to note the increased interest taken in the meetings of the Elbert County Young Men’s Christian Association. The meeting last Su .day was more largely attended than any yet held, and ,ve noticed the attendance of more elderly gentlemen than usual. The singing was good, and the feature of the occasion—the essay by Mr. T. C. Carlton—was -the neatest tiling of the kin 1 we ever heard. The books contributed to the associa tion are coming in slowly. Let every member who lias not made his donation do so at once. Concord jeans and eassitneres, Louis ville jeans, country made jeans, and a large variety of jeans and cassimeres of Eastern and Northern make, at any prices that can be made, at J. Selig s Atlanta cash store, Elberton. Where Is It ? A letter has gins roaming through Elbert county without finding a lodging i place, directed to —— Marchmont, I Buzzard Roost, Elbert County, Ga.” | The letter is now at the Elberton office, | and the postmaster is anxious to get rid I of it, as he thinks it should not “roost” ! here Only for thirty days ! I will sell my | stock of ready-made clothing for the | next thirty days at greatly reduced | prices, in order to make room for anew • stock for Christmas. Call soon at J. Se lig’s, Elberton. -** * - Married. On the 21st ult., by Rev. L. W. Ste poens, at the residence of the bride’s fa j ther, Miss Martha H. Moore to William | T. Moon, all of Elbert county. The largesd stock of men’s and boy’s hats can be found at J. Selig’s, Eiber ton, Ga. Eternal vigilance is the price of libcr j ty, as it has lifted one and perhaps more : than one into the seventh heaven and | away beyond the uttermost confines of unknown extacy, when it was thought I was going to leave Elberton. I will now inform the public and the rest of man kind that I will stay here in spite of the devil, the Dutch and the brown cow. | J. M. Barfield. LAOONIQUES. Messrs. Sanders & Son are adding a ; commodious addition to their grocery j establishment. Mr. Jas. A. Andrews will soon com mence the work of improving his prem* | ises. The cry of “hard times” is almost • universal. With ruin overtaking busi : ness men all over the country, the sen i sible man will not waste his substance j in riotous living. A cool head and sound | judgment is needed by every business | man. Mr. J. H. Brewer makes an urgent i appeal for a settlement to those indebt ed to him. Cotton is now coming into Elberton with something of a rush. Col. P. E. Davant has h;s school notice jin this paper. A close scrutiny of the same is desirable. Larceny. Last Friday, William Cheatham, a ; person of color, was lodged in jail, charged with the offense of simple laroe | nv, stealing a keg of whiskey from Mr. |W. E. Tate. The whiskey was stolen from the boat of Dir. Tate, on Savannah river, on the 22 1 of November. Judge Edwards interviewed the afore | said Cheatham, and gave him a free ticket to the Adams hotel, and for fear :he might not arrive safe provided an able escort, to gallant him to his granite palace. William employed counsel, who sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and ho may cheat ’em yet. W. P. E. The query we propounded week be fore last, as to the author of a certain j couplet, and the meaning of the same, j elicited some sweet verses from a distin | guished gentleman, signed “W. P. It ,” ! explaining the meaning, but not giving | the author. We return our profound | est thanks for the stanzas, but we still ask for the name of the author. We i will feed under obligations to any one 1 who will inform ns. Don’t all speak at once. We also wish to know where they are found. J. Selig is constantly receiving fresh goods. His stock of domestics, dress goods, flannels, shawls, jeans, cassi meres, clothing, boots, shoes and hats is large and attractive, and he offers them at extremely low prices. Give him a call at Elberton. THE EGG LANCE IN INDIA. A much more pleasing performance, and one which might perhaps better have been mentioned in connection with the explods of the jugglers, is the “egg dance.” This is not as one might expect from the name given it, a dance of these fragile objects. It is executed in this wise : The dancer, dressed in a cor sage and very short skirt, carries a wil lo.v wheel of moderate fusion horizon tally upon the top of her head. Around this wheel threads are fastened equally distant from each other, and at the end of these threads is a slip noose, which is kept open by a glass bead. Thus equip ped, tire young girl come toward the spectators with a basket full of eggs, which she passed around for inspection to prove that they are real, and not imi tations. The music strikes up a jerky, monotonous strain, and the dancer be gins to whirl around with great rapidity- Then, seizing the egg, puts in one of the slip nooses and, with a quick motion, throws it from her in such a way as to draw the knot tight. The swift turning of the dancer produces a centrifugal force which stretches the thread out straight, like a ray shooting from the circumference of the circle One after another the eggs, are thrown out into these slip nooses until they make a hori zontal aureole or halo about the dancer's head. Then the dance becomes still i more rapid—so rapid, in fact, that it is I difficult to distinguish the features of the girl; the moment is critical; the least false step, the least irregularity in time, and the eggs dash against each other. But how can the dance bo stopped ? There is but cne way —that is to remove the eggs in the way in which they have been put in place. This operation is by far the more delicate of the two. It is necessary that the dancer, by a single i motion, exact an unerring, should rake j noose. A single false motion of the : hand, the least interference with one of j the threads, and the general arrange- j meat is suddenly broken, and the whole ■ performance disastrously ended. At ' last all the eggs are successfully re ; moved ; the dance suddenly stops, and, j without seeming in the least dizzied by j this dance of twenty live or thirty min j utes, she advances to the spectators with i a firm step, and presents them with the ‘ eggs, which are imediatly broken in a fiat dish to jirove that there is no trick about the performance. King Bex. The orders of Atlanta’s King Rex, as promulgated through His Majesty’s Chamberlain, Hijim, have been received at these headquarters, and shall be im- j plicitly obeyed, as becomes His Majesty’s ' most loyal subject. Mr. J. A. Wren, our excellent photo graphic artist, gives fair notice to all who wish any work in his line that they must call soon, as he will positively leave , after Christmas. — , * There is a heavy whiskey ring in St. Louis, of which President Grant’s pri vate secretary seems to be the leading spiiit.

Mr. Editor : The preparations for a most “recherche” affair for the benefit of this corps, on the 10th of December, are quietly progressing. The supper will be all that the most fastidious epicure could desire, the mu sic will be as sweet as the music of the spheres on that morning when the stars sang together, the address will be a lit erary treat that no one can afford to miss, and the other devices to amuse the assembled crowd as well as instruct will be too numerous to mention here. All that taste, skill and an overflowing interest and devotion to the cause can prompt, will be done to make the occa sion one long to be remembered. The Jeff Davis Guards have been or ganized and commissioned some time, and the committee have resolved to make up, by one mighty effort, all that should have been done long since towards arm ing them. The object of the entertainment is money, not to swindle any one out of it; but to give value received in tiie purest enjoyment for every cent expend ed- It is no catch penny affair, but an out and out festival for the complete pleasure of all. This being true we expect all the friends of the company and of the cause to be on hand and show their faith by their works. “One of the Committee.” Mr. Editor : Several of your readers have frequently proposed through your columns, puzzles, enigmas, etc, to which they desired answers, and though, Mr. Editor, you are presumed to know every thing, I believe you week before last asked the authorship and meaning of a couplet. Now, allow me space for the following problem, of which I would beg of yon, or any one else, a solution : On board of a vessel, during a severe storm, there were 30 persons, 15 Chris tians and 15 Turks, and to save the lives of half of the number it became necessa ry- that the other half sliou'd bw thrown overboard. Now, how would these 30 have to be arranged in a line so that throwing over every 9th man, all the Turks would be drowned, and all the Christians saved"? Ani' one sending a correct answer through your columns will confer afa vor an the undersigned. “Esormirp.” . Aj&v * A Queer Way to be Killed. — Mr. Pickett Boggan, a respectable citizen of more than forty years’ residence in this county, met a most singular death at his home,' near Pine Apple, a short time since. He was sitting iu the piazza of his house, in a rocking chair, and near the railing or banisters, his feet resting at edge of the flooring. In this position his feet slipped off the floor toward the ground, his body being allowed to fol low on account of the moving forward of the chair on the rockers ; his chin caught on the upper railing, and the back of the chair came up against the back of his head, and so remained, so that he was suspended in this singular manner. Be ing quite old and infirm, he was unable to extricate himself, and the weight of his body resting on bis chin prevented his opening his mouth to call for help, and he thus died from strangulation. [Greenville Advocate. CORRESPONDENCE. Elberton, Ga., Nov. 29, 1575. Rev. J. B. Morton. — Dear Sir : The Elbert County Young Men’s Christian Association respectfully request that you deliver a lecture before the associa tion at some early date, to be fixed upon by yourself. An early response respect fully solicited. J. P. Shannon, • J. T. McCarty. F. A. F. Noblett. Committee. Elberton, Ga., Nov. 30th, 'ls. Messrs. J. P. Shannon, J. T. McCarty, F. A. F- Noalett. Dear Sirs: Your communication of the 29th inst. received, and in answer to which allow me to say that nothing could afford me more pleasure than the oppor tunity of saying anything that may en courage you in the work before us all as Christians. And since you have so con siderately left it with me to fix the time, I shall appoint Tuesday night, the 14th of December. I remain yours in Christian bonds, J. B Morton. .*S£*4* Buna way Scrapes. On Monday last there were two or three “runaways” in town. One of Mr. J. E. Campbell's horses started off with n plow hitched to him and “got up and dusted” for a considerable distance, but we have heard of no serious injury in this case with the exception of a loss of a hand(le) of the plowstock Dr. M. P. D< adwyler’s sorrel pony, named Charlie, got his “gitupandpjrit” ire aroused, and demonstrated very plainly to “Old Matt” that what lie didn’t know about miming away no other horse could learn. Matt was in the wagon j when he fell out, and when he wasn’t in j the wagon the wheels run over him, and he now carries one eye, a nose, and part of his back in a sling. The wagon was i injured but little. Mr. Brewer Tate’s horse became a little frightened also, ! but we don’t think he ran far. Hcepp’s j gray gelding w is also moved by the spir it, and was very anxious to run, but we learn that he postponed it on account of the weather. A correspondent of the Greensboro Home Journal, iu reviewing the last State Fair, says: ”if Gen. Colquitt wants to know what farmers think, just say to him that since he ran his machine without taxing your city people or our country people, and used such economy in all of its details, and paid all expenses and made m- ney, we are perfectly willing than he should be the next occupant of the Governor’s man sieir.” Dr. W. L. Niehclls died at Woodstock, Oglethorpe county, on the 10th ult., aged 45. < 4JSA* Congress convenes next Monday. *> Home of our citizens start for the Methodist conference this week which is to be held at Griffin. From the way J. Selig’s store has been crowded he must be selling goods cheap. Go and see for yourself. Valuable House and Lot in Elberton for Sale That pleasant little cottage of Mr J. O.
