Lawyers' Grange.
The members of the Elberton bar held
a meeting last week, and adopted an
| uniform system of charges, or fee-bill.
! 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.

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.

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.

Jeff Davis Guards.
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.

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.

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.”
