Elberton Bonds.
In 1875 a number of bonds were is
sued by the Town of Elberton, to assist
in grading the Elberton Air Line Rail
road. The party receiving the bonds
sold them at 80 cents. The people ol this
community bought them promptly at
those figures. To day there is not a
dollar's worth of the bonds outside the
county, and they cannot be bought for
less than 95 —and it is questionable
whether they can be had at less than
par.

Our Continued Story.
Departing from our usual custom, we
commence this week a story of unusual
interest, entitled “The Spider’s Web,’
which will run through about twelve
numbers of the paper, but we publish in
addition about the usual amount of mat
ter.
The plot of the story is laid in Paris
during the late war between France and
Germany. From the opening chapter,
wherein a young girl, around whom the
toils of deep-dyed villains, male and fe
male, have been thrown like the silken
thread which the spider weaves round
its victim, tries to commit suicide by
charcoal fumes, down to the battle of
Sedan, the manning of the forts around
Paris, the many attacks and repulses of
the Germans, the whiz of shot, the
.bursting of shell, the barricading of the
streets with furniture, the firing of the
city.with petroleum, and finally the tri
umphant march of the Germans through
the streets—all forming a picture which
years will not erase from the mind of the
reader.

A New king for Elberton.
The"grat attraction in Elberton yes
terday, was the opening of Mr. Jas. O.
Sanders’ new billiard saloon. This gen
tleman has erected anew building ad
joining his saloon, wherein he has placed
two fine (Hollander carom billiard tables
of the latest styles, and gotten up in
the manufacturers’ handsomest manner,
with an outfit to correspond. The
saloon is, or is being, finished off in the
most tasteful of modern styles, provided
with the latest thing in lights, ornament
ed with handsome pictures, and .s the
most elegant j lace of public resort yet
opened in Elberton.
We congratulate our young townsman
on the superior tiste displayed by him
in this saloon, a high appreciation of
which is shown by all who have visited
it.
A 'Toon Chicken.”
What the phrase a “soon chicken”
means we cannot tell, but a maroon col
ored darkey applied it to himself the other
day ii. addressing a copper-tinted mate,
and in about two seconds and a half the
latter was raining fence-rails on ina
roon's head at the maximum rate of fall
ing hailstones, heating him to the ground
by the force of the blows, but, of course,
doing no injury. As the affair took
place in Elberton, the Town Council
thought the luxury to copper tint was
worth fifteen and costs, and that, too,
without Allowing who was going to pay
the money. The deluded youth hustled
up the lino, and he is now as “soon”
a chicken as his opponent.
The Tramp.
He passed through Elberton last Sat
unlay, and, as in usual among that im
pecunious class, ho called on the editor,
llis distressed look and more distressed
tone could noc fail to elicit charity from
the most stony hearted. The usual sub
scription paper was forthcoming, which
set forth in most eloquent terms the
misfortunes dread and dire—the ravages
of disease and fire—to which he had
been subjected. Wo read it carefully,
handed it back as we found it, with good
wishes that exceed money value, and
the cheerless victim of fate went on his
way.
Meeting of Directors.
As stated by President Mathews in a
card last week, a meeting of Directors
of the Elberton Air Line Railroad is to
be held at Goss’ school-house on the
lOtli inst. We hope every member of
the board -will be present, as we think
matters that should receive the consid
eration of the entire body will be
brought forward.
The question of procuring b-on is be
ing reduced to where there is a hope of
contracting.
Return Day.
Return day for common law cases to
March term of the Superior Court for
Elbert county is Tuesday, 22cl inst.,
and for equity cases on the 12th.
Madison county return day is just
oni week before Elbert, and in Ilart
county one week after return day in
Eibart.
A "Water Hard.
The poor, infatuated wretches who ex
pccted to be profited by breaking into
Tee Ggzette office last Saturday night
deserve tl.e commiseration of a charita
ble public. They deserve the chain
gang more for their ignorance than for
House breaking.
Up to date there has been about I,GOO
bales of cotton purchased in Elberton
this season.
Corn is brought to town almost daily
by mountain wagons, and sells readily
at .$1 per bushel.
From the way the El erton merchants
are selling meat one would think the
home-raised article had all been spoiled
by the varm weather.
Harris' Potiphar Peagreen seems to
be having everything hts own way in the
Legislature.
When it takes two licenses to marry
one girl it does look like the advantages
of leap year are not appreciated at their
true value.
Our townsman, Air. T. A. Jones, ex
cited the envy of the hunters by bring
ing in a mallard duck last week.
We do not envy the feelings of At
lanta editors who have to fill their pa
pers with innumerable bills introduced
in the Legislature, about one-fiftieth
part of which wilt ever receive the at
tention of that body.
The school at Farmer’s Academy, will
commence on Monday, the 7th February,
under the supervision of F. P. Thorn
ton ; there is a prospect of a good school,
as the teacher, is experienced in teach
ing, and has a gift of imparting instruc
tions to the young. We predict success
in this school.
ME, NORDHOFF'S IMPRESSIONS OF THE
SOUTH.
Mr. Charles NordhofFs letters from
the South last summer to the Herald
have been revised and reproduced in
hook form by the Appletons. Mr.
Nordhoff addresses them to the Presi
dent in a pungent little dedication, as
suming that if he had been able to give
as much attention to affairs at the
South in 1874-5 as he did in 1865, there
can be no doupt that his Southern
policy would have been very different.
Mr. "Nordhoff is one of our most con
sciontious and capable observers. He
wrote only what he honestly believed,
and the conclusions with which he
enriches the present volume, drawn
from the whole scope of his observations
in the Cottcn States, have a political
significence which both parties, but
especially the Republicans, would find it
profitable to study. Some of these con
clusions are, that thc-ie is not in any of
the States any des re for anew war. or
any hostility to the Union ; that South
ein Republicans are unreasonable in
complaining that the whites do not yet
rejoice over their defeat, and chat they
still admire their own leaders ; that the
ostracism of Northern men means the
ostracism of corrupt men, and those who
make common political cause with
them; that there is intimidation of
bota sides ; that there are no wrongs
now in the South, which the interference
of the Federal Government can correct;
that thoese States which have been nn
der Republican control have been
shamelessly mismanaged, while Georgia,
which has been ruled by Democrats, has
been well managed ; that in Georgia the
negroes own more real estate, and pay
more taxes, on more property, than in
ary other Southere State: that general
manhood suffrage is a danger to any
community, where the e tire body o r
ignorance and poverty has been massed
by adroit politicians on one side, and
that when Federal interference at the
South ceases, the negro vote will fail off
from natural causes.
LEAPING THE WHIRLWIND.
The c .loed voters of Pittsburg re
cently held a meeting to lament their
grievances. They say that they cast
; three thousand votes in the county, and
they think that they are entitled to some
slight recognition in the distribution of
the subordinate officers.
This has excited the ire of the Repub
licans of Pittsburg The Telegraph
eays “these newly-made citizens profess
to have no gratitude for the party that
gave them the right of suffrage, and
foolishly declare that they will use that
■suffrage in behalf of the party which
gives them a share of the officers. It is
about time these new voters were let
a*one iu their ignorance and selfishness.”
♦.•£>♦
Economical Legislation.— The Vir
giiiia House of Delegates, by a vote of
eighty two to twenty, has instructed the
Committee on Retr? nchment to report a
bill reducing by fifteen per cent, the
per diem of members of the two Houses,
their ffiocere and employes, the salaries
of all officers and employes in the
various departments, the compensation
of county clerks ar.d commissioners in
chancery, and the legal fees of altorneys
at-luw. Should the bill pass, it would
result in a saving to the people of at
least one hundred thousand dollars
annually.
Color in the Amnesty Question. —
Representative Harralsc n, of Alabama,
one of the colored mem! ers, voted for
the amnesty bill without any exceptions.
Since then he has received a number of
letters from his State to the effect that
his vote is being made use of to preju
dice him among his own race and to de
feat his re-election to Congress lie has,
therefore, prepare 1 a letter to the col
ored people of his district defending
his vote, and assuring them that his
action was influenced by the belief that
it was best for his own interest and
that of his race to close up a§ soon as
possible all the wounds of the war.
There are some three hundred hands
at w rfe on the lino of the Spartanburg
and Asheville Road, and tho whole work
is b ing carried bravely and vigorously
forwar h All of tho gradi g has been
completed in South Carolina, and the
contractors are now at work in Hen
derson and Polk counties of North
Carolina. It will not be long before
the most expensive and difficult work
will be completed, and rest of the grad
ing to Asheville, dune ou tho faith of
the subscriptions made, is but ordinary
work.

The County Commissioners have
placed Air. John H. Anderson in charge

less to the county than ever before.

Wliat changes have t.ik. n place in that period?
In none have they been more radical than in
the treatment of diseases. In the olden time,
nature, prostrate with pain and suffering, was
attacked with the lancet, calomel, blister.-, star
vation and thirst. All this war done with Hon
est intentions bt t with terrible results It is a
pleasing fact that the enlightened public of the
pre-erit duyfiiave discarded such medication. The
disorders that sap the power.- of life are now
expwled by the remedial agents, tht brace up
the vital strength, while ruuning its course. The
qualities tire found in an eminent degree in L‘r.

celebrated over a wide extent of the globe as

THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
MATTEfiS AND THINGS IN ATLANTA.
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29, ’76.
There has been considerable excite
ment in the House of Representative
for the past three days over tbeConven
tion bill, ar.d after a spirited debate, the
previous question was called, and the
bill as amend passed the House, as fol
lows :• For the bill 127 votes, against the,
17 votes. The amendments, as the bill
now stands, are, that the election is to
be held on the first Wednesday in Jan
uary, 1877, and th 9 Convention to meet
first Wednesday in March, 1877. The
section leaving the subject of holding to
the people to vote either “for” or
“against,” is stricken out. The bill gives
general satisfaction, and it is thought
will pass the Senate without opposition.
There is a strong feeling iti Atlanta
against the Convention, caused we sup
pose, by the fact that a Convention might
move the seat of government, thereby
diminishing a large local trade of the
city.
The following bills have been intro
duced in the Senate by Mr. Hester:
No. 40—A bill to prohibit sale, barter,
giviug or flushing of intoxicating liquors
within 3 miles of Holly Spring Baptist
Church, in Elbert county.
No. 41—A bill to prevent the crime
of murder committed by mob and lynch
law, and to prescribe punishment for
the same.
No. 42—A bill to amend the jury laws
of Georgia so far as the grand jury is
concerned, and to fix term of service and
conpensation of jurors. The following
bill has been introduced in the House
by Mr. Holland:
No. 117—A bill to amend the various
acts incorporating the town of Hartwell,
to give the Mayor of said town criminal
jurisdiction in ail clases below felonies,
aud for other purposes.
We hear any number of speculations
as to the man who will be* our next Gov
ernor. We think that at ibis time the
present iucumbant lias the best chances,
but which time and circumstances may
materially lesson. After him the time
foremost are Colquitt, Gartreil, and
James, whose chances are equally
divided, and it is hard to form an opin
ion of the one in the lead at present.
Dr. Jones’ convention of crop report
ers has just closed, and was one of much
in terest.
Gen. Tombs’ address on “Farm Eeoa
my,” was a sermon of truth for the
fanner, which will be published for the
general good.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr
Tiros. A. t Jones, the enterprising mer
chant of your town, who spent a few
days here; also Mr. Gloer, wli<?attended
the convention as a delegate.

Chirographic.
Danielsville is mnek exercised on the
subject of writing. Prof. H. J. Am
brose*, who has been making a* repntar
tion for himself by his success in other
par}s of the county, is now among us
with a large school on his hands II!;
sessions are of two weeks’ duration,
this tima he proposes to remociel U
chirography of the entire community.
Do, Mr. Editor, try to get Ambrose
to take a school in Elberton for tL<- spe
cial benefit of the young members of the.
bar in your plane. This I ask as a t *
vor in behalf of the citizens of my ebu
ty, whose patience is worn thread!'
by trying vainly to decipher tho iUou:a
preliensible hieroglyphics of those yenng
brethren with whom they have busi&es.
