Hill “seemed" sustained by facts in
charging upon the United States fully
as much cruelty and real barbarism a£

—
A correspondent says it will probably
be the middle of the session before the
question as to who shall be our State
Treasurer will be determined by the Le
gislature. Candidates are said to be
plentiful.
In our course as a journalist here in
Elbert county, soma,of our readers have
animadverted npon some of the mea
sures we have advocated. This we ex
pected. Some of our country friends
charge us with desiring to build up the
town to the detriment of the country,
while some of our town friends charge
us with the encouragement of enterpri
ses in the country to the exclusion of
the town. This was to have been ex
pected. But when the most insignifi
cant private act we perform is taken up
and discussed, we don't see why we
should make any apology We reserve
the right to purchase goods at any store
we please, to buy our wood when, of
whom, and how we think tost, just as one
man carries his grain by one mill to an
other, or patronises the gin house where
the yield is larger or the lint made more
saleable
In all public measures we have advo
cated in the county, we have had the
good of the entire community in view.
He would be a poor physician who pre
scribed to build up a portion of the
body in a manner that would injure an
other art of the body. Receiving a
liberal patronage from all parts of the
county—from no one portion less than
another—we do not feel under obliga
tion to favor one portion more than an
other, and will not do so.
One difficulty with the writer is an 1
has been a lack of that peculiar kind of
policy which makes a man button hole,
elbow and boot lick his fellow creatures
to show them he is right. We are not
made of that material. We seek the
right rather than public favor The
pride of Georgia to day is that she has
in Congress a representative who lias
the courage and ability to denounce the
condemnation of the treatment of pris
oners by the Southern Confederacy on
ex parte statements by enemies, and yet
in the face of this we see the very same
course pursued by those who have been
loudest in denunciation.
When we become convinced that mo
ney is less involved than principle, we
shall notice more definitely, but in re
sponse to the threats of lost subscribers,
we guarantee to replace each one so lost
with two others.
Fires,
The season of fires appears to have
set in. We have three to record within
the past week—two by accident and one
by an incendiary.
On Wednesday evening last the alarm
of fire was given in Elberton, caused by
the discovery of the dwelling of Mr. E.
Tate, Jr., being afire. A large number
of people assembled promptly, and the
flames were extinguished before much
damage had been done. It is supposed
that sparks from the chimney fell among
leaves that had lodged on the house and
ignited them.
The second was the entire destruction
by fire of two cribs on the premises of
Rev. L. W. Stephens, two miles west of
Elberton, on Saturday morning last, to
gether with a lot of hay, shucks, &0.,
and about' fifty bushels of corn. This
fire was caused by a little boy innocent
ly striking a match against one of the
cribs and setting fire to the hay. Noth
ing was Saved. A subseriptien was taken
up among our citizens Saturday, which
resulted in a snug little sum for the un
fortunate gentleman’s benefit.
On Saturday night, about midnight,
the gin-house of Mr. Richard Snellings,
in the Flatwoods, Elbert county, was
destroyed by fire, including a steam en
gine, two gins, packing screw, four bales
of cotton, and about one thousand bush
els of cotton seed. The fire was the
work of an incendiary. Mr. Snellings
surmised tho house was fired for the
purpose of drawing the family away
from the dwelling to afford a chance for
robbery, and cautioned the ladies under
no circumstances to leave the house.
L. M. Dadisman and W. J. Snelli: gs
were interested in the gin house with
Rich’d Snellings. The loss is estimated
at $2,000.
An Interesting Suit.
In one of the justices’ courts of Elbert
county there is a suit in progress which
promises to be of rare interest both to
the legal fraternity and the people. The
case is styled “1. B. Greenough vs. A.
C. Allopath —suit on account ” The
amount involved is but eighty cents, but
the principle involved is immense. It
appears that the plaintiff, with such as
sistance as he could command, went out
into the old fields and woods, and after
arduous labor succeeded in gathering
two quarts of chinquapins.. These he
sold to the defendant at forty cents per
quart, and which amount said defendant
utterly and positively refuses to pay and
the plaintiff throws himself upon the
country- This is right The plaintiff
after throwing his chinquepins upon Al
lopath, could do no more appropriate
thing than throw himself upon the coun
try, and we know enough concerning
the merits of the case to prophesy thfit
if that eighty cents is not paid forthwith,
together with sueh costs and damages as
the court may declare legal and right,
then the country will rise up under its
burden and demand the reason why.
Opening of the Female School.
This school has opened under the
most favorable auspices. There is al
ready an attendance of over forty schol
ars, which number will be largely in
creased during the next week. Under
the able management of Mrs. Capers
we expect to see a vigorous, prosperous
school built up here, which shall prove
beneficial, not to the town hlone, but to
the whole county. The hope of the
country is in the education of its youth,
and that .can only be accomplished by
the best schools and the best teachers.
' OT3 Mr. Fruits and old Mrs. Fruits,

Message of SmitJ^.
The annual message of Gow.'Mfemith
was submitted to the Legislature upon
its assembly in Atlanta last Wednesday.
A great deal of space would be occupied
in ot.r columns were we to publish it,
and we do not believe many of our read
ers would care to go through the dry de
tails of the document. We propose
therefore to notice the main points
treated of for the benefit of our readers.
Over one-half of the message is .devo
ted to the troubles in the Treasury De
partment—the deficit under the old
treasurer, his being required to furnish
new bondsmen, his failure to do so, and
his displacement. The result of the in
vestig&tions made by the Joint Finance
Committee, appointed a year ago from
both Houses of the General Assembly,
show a deficiency of over two hundred
and ninety thousand dollars. There
has been in this department the grossest
mismanagement. The private banking
house of $50,000 capital that was not
managed better than the treasury of lhe
great State of Georgia, would be a gen
eral laughing-stock. A large number of
bonds were redeemed the second time,
and the treasurer can give no idea to
whom the payments were made ; inter
est paid out, with no coupons to show
for the same—and not a memorandum
to be found concerning the transactions.
Such looseness in the management of
finances to bo unnoticed for so long a
time looks remarkable.
The Governor reports $4,564.50 as
the net proceeds of a sale made by the
State of a house in Atlanta as the prop
erty of Foster Blodgett, and further re
ports the State in possession of two
other lots in that city, purchased as the
property of Blodgett, the sale of which
he recommends.
The total amount of money received
by the University during the collegiate
year was $38,858.70; expenditures,
$38,150.35. He recommends such ap
propriations as will meet present wants
and increase the capacity of the institu
tion for future usefulness.
Approves of the establisment of nor
mal schools, suggests that a portion of
the funds appropriated for the support
of common schools be used for establish
ing schools for the education of teachers
to take charge of the public schools.
The amount for the support of the
Lunatic Asylum last year was2o per cent.
less than was required the three previ
ous years.
Number of convicts received last year
in the Penitentiary, 391; number there
in 31st December, 1875, 926; number
pardoned, 16; number of deaths, 49 ;
escapes, 53. The Governor objects to
the present convict system.
He considers the Board of Health a
good thing and recommends that it be
generously sustained.
The Governor alludes with just pride
to the improved credit of the State. He
recommends the strictest economy in all
cetjartmints, 'and says, in conclusion ?
“With the countless advantages we pos
sess, it will be our own fault if we do
not, at an early day, relieve ourselves of
the heavy burdens under which we now
labor. These burdens were placed up
on our shoulders, for the most part, by
unfriendly hands. The duty of the
hour is to remove them, and not to re
pine over the past. Our public debt is
small, compared with our vast resources.
Then, calling to our aid courage, pa
tience and self denial, let us labor earn
estly to advance the interest of the
Commonwealth, confident, in the mean
while, that a just and merciful Provi
dence will eventually right the wrong
and reward the right.
Death.
Died in Elberton, on the 13th, after a
lingering illness, Mrs. Permelia “Willis,
wife of Mr. William Willis, aged about
50 years.
Mrs. Willis was attacked with paraly
sis over two years ago, since which time
she had been confined to her bed, and
unable to speak. She was patient un
der her suffering, and though she could
not express it her relief must have been
great when death claimed her. We ten
der our deepest sympathies to the be
reaved husband.
* —+ *—.
Rabbery,
On Saturday evening last a well known
colored youth of Elberton, Shep., by
name, concealed himself in the store of
Mr. E. B. Tate, Jr., when that gentle
man closed up to go to out. Returning,
the merchant heard a noise in the store,
and looking around behind some flour
he found the youthful thief concealed,
and searching his pockets found goods
enough to start a young store with, and
what money that had been left in the
drawer. Shep. was committed to jail,
and his case will be tried at March
Court.
Vick’s Floral Guide.
We are in receipt of Vick’s Fora
Guide for 1876, a welcome guest to our
sanctum and household. We have re
peatedly tried "V ick s seeds, and always
found them reliable and up to their rep
resentation. Some of the finest vegeta
bles we saw in the county last year were
the product of seeds from this reliable
seed warehouse.

Virginia on the Centennial.
Always right, Virginia, through her
Legislature, has refused an appropria
tion for this big fraud. We hope the
same response will be made by our Leg
islature. Our people cannot afford to
be heavily taxed for the purpose of giv
ing a big show for the benefit .of ..those
who have rot a kind word for .W unless
for the purpose of fleecing.. „ f .
Hon. A. H. Stephens.
From accounts gathered we fear that
Mr. Stephens is in a critical condition.
One of his lungs is said to be effected
and he is very ill. We hope the mail
will bring us encouraging news from
this great atatesman, and that the alarm
felt will prove groundless.
Hear at Hand.
The next regular meeting of the Jeff
Davis Guards is the fourth Saturday in
this month, at which time the important
report of a committee appointed at the
company s last meeting is expected.—
Although nothing has been heard of the
organization lately, its members have
lost none of their zeal. Earnestly in the
past have they labored for their cause,
and in the future nothing will be left un
done to gain their end. If the commit
tee make a favorable report, all will bo
well. At the Guards' last meeting a res
olution of thanks was adopted, that was
ordered to be published in The Gazette,
but through negligence it was not. It
was a card of grateful acknowledge
ments to all who in any way assisted the
company in making the entertainment
on the night of the 10tli of November,
a success. Especial thanks were return
ed to several parties for their donations,
but we fail to recollect them all now.
We remember, however, that the ladies
of the Sewing Club were particularly
thanked for the aid they rendered, and
as one good turn deserves another, we
trust the company will give them anoth
er opportunity of showing their kindness
before long.
OBITUARY.
Died on Sunday morning, January
16th, 1876, Girard W. Allen, infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Allen, aged five
months.
One more budding flower plucked
from earth to beautify the great white
throne in heaven ; one more gem taken
from fond, loving parents to deck with
resplendant lustre the bright crown of
the King of Kings ; one more soul un
spotted garnered from earth’s troubles
to celestial bliss; one more little sun
beam to glory gone ; one more brilliant
star to adorn with shining splendor the
diadem of Jesus. The bereaved par
ents have our heartfelt sympathy in
this hour of affliction and trial, and we
trust the Giver of all good will deal out
to them abundantly the spirit of fortitude
to bear unmurmuringly this dispensa
tion of His providence. Though their
darling little boy is lost on earth to
them, a tiny harp is now in his hands,
and tuned in concert with the other an
gels’, he lends additional notes of sweet
est music to the angelic band.
GEORGIA AND THE NATIONAL COMMIT
TEE.
Georgia is the only State which is not
represented on the Democratic National
Executive Committee. Duing tho ses
sion of the National Convention at Bal
timore in 1874 General A B. Wright
was appointed a member of this com
inittee from Georgia. The death of
General Wright left a vacancy which so
far as we are advised, has not been
filled ar,d the State is without represent
ation. The right of Georgia to a voi.ee
and vote in the management of the
party should be looked after at once.
The time is approaching for the assem
bing of the National Convention and
the Executive Committee will probably
meet in Washington City within the
next ten days. The time and place for
holding the convention are both matters
of importance. Other matters may also
be brought before this committee. It is
time that Georgia was given represent
ation. It seems to us that the State
Executive Committee has full power to
fill the vacancy, and we hope it will act
at once. The members of this commit
tee are : Thos. Hardeman, Jr., Chair
man ; Augustus Reese, James M. Hun
ter, Herbert Fielder, Mark Blanford,
L. N Trammell, Jno. L Harris, J. C.
Nichols, J. H. Christy, T. G. Lawson,
I. W. Avery, J. S. Boynton. Will our
State exchanges call attention to this
matter ?—Chron & Sen.
The New York Tribune thus attempts
to forecast the Presidential election:
“Democrats cannot elect the next
President without New York. Republi
cans can. Those two facts supply the
key of the next election. The Dem
ocrats must nominate a candidate and
frame a platform, and put their party
into a position that can secure New
York. Otherwise they are whipped
before the fight begins. But the Re
publicans can still make a desperate
struggle, with a possibility of success,
even though the probabilities in this
State should be against them. * * *
The Democrats can count with almost
absolute certainty upon the votes of
fifteen former slave States, and the
Republicans, if they nominate a can
didate who unites the party, can count
with equal certainty upon the vote of
South Carolina and all the former non
slaveholding States, except New York,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana,
California and Oregon. The Democrats
then need 54 more electoral votes out of
the 74 considered debatable. The Re
publicaus, however, need only 21, and
can lose New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, or New York, Indiana and
Oregon, and still elect the President.
The Democrats cannot possibly get 54
out of the 74 debatable votes, without
the 35 of New York, and must, therefore,
carry this State or be beaten.”
Tin Ware to be Sold.—J. C. Shim
mer & Cos., advertise the selling of their
stock of tinware, stoves, and house fur
nishing goods very low.
We sincerely hope our citizens will re
member there is a tin shop in Elberton,
and by their patronage sustain it. It is
a necessity to our people, and everything
should be dqne that can be to convince
the very clever gentleman who is trying
the experiment here that there is trade
enough here to make the experiment a
permanent success.
What is a more touching scene than to
see a youth of about 27 summers go off
into a room alone with a 25x40 mirror,
and for three hours and a half tenderly
caress his downy mustache, sighing and
weeping less some mishap might occur to
deprive him of them before the double
barreled centennial of 1976. He lives
in town and runs a law shop.

The Town Council took in a fifty dol

Signs about town indicate the places

Elberton’s improvements are increas

We almost knew they'd do it. Now
some of the boys are whispering to some
of the other boys, “let’s have a calico

And the other boys said “w e 1-1.”
We were so shocked the other night
by being told that we were opposed to

Tilt idea is excruciating. A better friend

Another minstrel entertainment is de
