A New History of the United States, We have examined a History of tho United States submitted to us, which we find worthy of a place in every house hold. The work is by -las. Clark Riel path, A. M, and is a comprehensive epitome of tho country’s history to the present time, embracing a spirited nar ration of the prominent persons and periods of tho past century, confined to such scope as will not fire or fail to ac complish the end in view. Our young friend, T. T. Herndon, is canvassing tho county with the work. Beef Market.—Elsewhere will bo found an advertisement of Mr. J. O.

J. H. Jones, 2t. President. Notes providing for waiving of homestead exemptions printed at this office. A PEABFUL CREVASSE. The New Orleans Times’ reporter says: What is known as the Bass levee is*at point Lockout in Carroll parish, and it is the largest protection jevee in the State of Louisiana. The break there is a mile wide, and the waters are flowing through wibthout making a ripple. The loss there is tremendous, and it is estimated that it will reduce the crop sent to the city 250,000 bales. On the Mississippi side the Buckridge and Wade breaks will devastate Bolivar, Jaquena and Warren counties, and will be equally as large as on the opposite side. An old edition of Morse’s geography fays: “Albany has four hundred dwell ing houses and twenty four hundred in habitants, all standing with their gable ends to tho street.” Bristow says tho country is getting short of currency; which is a point in which wo resemble the country near enough to be twins. [Bridgeport Standard. Spring fashions —Strawberry short cakes this year will bo cut bias and rather fuller in the crust than usual. Tlioso in two shades of saleratus, trim med with same material, will be much in vogue. A Pish Story, One day last week, Capt. D. B. Cade found in one of his fish baskets a white infant, and also a catfish weighing over 40 pounds. Serious Charge. Can it be true that planters who can not obtain credit for provisions, are buy ing fertilizers on credit and selling it at half its cost for cash with which to buy bread and meat “? • A Centennial Peacock, The disappointment of a certain gen tlecuan can be imagined who was nurs ing a 100-year-old peacock for exhibition at the centennial, but which died too soon for the occasion. The gentleman will not visit the exhibition now. Kivalry. We are informed that the delegation from Hart to Craft's expect to outdo El bert in furnishing means for the enjoy ment of the occasion. Keep a sharp look out to your laurels, Elbert. Hart is a formidable rival. - - ♦ ■■■ Milk in His Coffee. Tho gentleman in the lower part of the county whose business it is some times-to look after steam mills, wants to I know if there is any affinity between the milk of human kindness and that- which is used to modulate the bitter tones of cof fee. He is unanimous in his opposition to either in his beverage hereafter Committed. Tho two negroes, Harrison and Luther Alexander, whose arrest for stealing meat from Mr. E. B. Tate’s smokehouse wo noticedlast week, were broughtbefore the County Court on commitment trial last Wednesday, and after hearing all the evidence in the case,* the two v/ere fully committed for the offence of burglary in the night. —_— v ♦ ■ " Off for Greensboro. Messrs. E. M. Rucker and T. A Chandler left Elberton yesterday for Greensboro’ to attend the Eighth Con gressioal District Convention. The in terests of the party in this county will be well served by these gentlemen, whose positions on questions of public policy aro too well known to require repetition. We wish tham a pleasant trip. Guano. “I have never used it but once, and will never repeat it,” said a planter to us the other day when we asked him if he was using fertilizers. In explanation he stated he used it several years ago on a lot m which ho had prior to that made two bales of cotton. The guano (pure peruvlan) cost him, delivered, 854 for a a half ton. The cotton made on the lot netted a little over S4O, and he has never been converted to fertilizers- o <£S> ♦ Of Course Wa Can. We are in receipt of a note from the Elberton pastmaster, informing us that t his can be made a money order office upon compliance with the terms of the P. M. General. We are obliged to the postmaster at Elberton for the information, but we knew of it before, and such is also the case with the citizens of the village. * „se ♦ Progressing. The new house of J. Sam Barnett, Esq., in course of construction just be low Elberton, is rapidly approaching completion, and will, when finished, add largely to the appearance ox the suburbs of the town in that direction The clearing and improvements in that end of town have made considerable change in the appearance of things, and strikes the visitor who lias not been there in some time forcibly and favorably. “Tho Spider’s Web.” We are assured that those who kept up with this interesting story as it has appeared in our columns from week to week are satisfied with our judgment in selecting it. We have heard some of oar best critics declaring it one of the best written romances they have ever read. Two more numbers of the paper will contain the remainder of the story, which we know will he pleasant news to those who are reading it. The following is an answer to a letter from the committee on the centennial picnic: Elberton, April 24th, 1576. Gentlemen : Your note inviting me to be with you at the pic-nic to come off at Craft’s ferry on the sixth of May, and to address you on that occasion has been received. I shall have much pleasure in being with you at the time mention ed, and to speak as requested. Hoping the attractions of the pic-nic may call out a large number of our citizens, and that all may participate in the joyous spirit of the day, I remain, Very truly, yours, E. M. Rucker. S. M. Bobo, and Others, Committee. ♦ ♦ The emperor of Brazil declines pub lic receptions, and wants to bo treated as a private gentleman on his travels. The New York Telegram believes our true policy consists in keeping his at tention diverted from the newspaper accounts of the Washington investiga tions, and of the indictment and im peachment of our administration offic ials. Ex-Attorney Gen. Williams was exam ined by the house committee on finances in the department of justice. He testi fied to the payment to John J. Devan port, formerly United States commis sioner in New York, out of the secret service fund $30,000 for election pur poses. Upon being pressed Judge W il liams acknowledged that the money was paid by direct order of the President. Here and There. Expensive farming—Sowing wild oats. A party of ladies and gentlemen we learn are to sail down the beautiful Sa vannah from the pic-nic at Craft s to Harper’s ferry, in a cotton boat on the 6th. This idea originated with some of the boys about Ruckersville. The Sewing Club has an abundance of work now, and the attendance is in creasing. The quarterly meeting at Ruckersville last Sabbath was largely attended, and the discourse by Rev. A. G. W oriey was simply excellent. The water from the new pump is said to be improving. Didn't we tell you it w mid be thus. Those young ladies who have counted Maxwell’s old gray horse at least twenty times for leap year, won't have an op portunity of doing so any more. Hes gone with his gray hairs in sorrow to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. Only five dollars and you can be an nounced for any office iu tho gift of the people. A picnic is spoken of at Hon. H. P. Mattox’s mill on the third Saturday in next month. The one had there last year was as pleasant and interesting as could be. Too queer, but 'tis a fact. We haven’t ; heard of anew candidate for the legisla tore in over twenty-four hours Some thing’s the matter. W ould you believe that there are at - least four families in the county who believe that every thing the newspaper says is not to be depended upon. Now we feel it our duty to warn these people to change their way of thinking, and tlee the wrath to come. Good news for the remaining 110.— We have been requested to state by a certain gentleman that lie would pull out of the contest for the legislature, and would distribute the votes that he would have polled equally among his 69. int imate friends who desired the position, j This exhibits a generous nature in the j gentleman, and wo congratulate tho 69 ; on their increase of strength from his generosity. We hear of rust in the wheat iu some portions of the county. The prospects of the crop is nevertheless promising. The oat crop is also said to be unusn ally promising. At least a score of man and boys went angling one day last week, and if they caught enought fish to fill a sardine box they failed to report. The two societies of the E. F. C. I. live and flourish like the green bay vine. “ ‘To be, or not be, that’s the question.' is a quotation from Longfellow,” paid an Elberton young man who is a gradu ate of a high school. To witness the blunders of the inex perienced and uninitiated in a public meeting is amusing. Rev. J. B. Morton preaches at the Methodist church next Sunday accord ing to announcement. He will not fill iiis regular appointment here the second Sunday in May. The City Fathers have so little to do uow-a-days in the way of dealing out jus tice to transgressors that we are afraid they’ll grow rusty. A gala day is anticipated at Brewer's mill next Saturday. Considerable ar rangements are being made to render the occasion one long to bo remembered to iho-e who participate. “She stoops to conquer,” was written before pull-backs became the style, is fully endorsed by some of the Elberton girls. Will this centennial year pass by with nothing done towards filling up the “big gully ?” Two dollars, or the tantamount in general farm produce, is the subscrip tion price to The Gazette, and as next week’s issue begins anew volume, now is the time to send in your name for the liveliest, newsiest paper in northeast Georgia. If A. T. Stewart is dead wo can’t see that it has anything to do with the com mencement of tho repairs on the Metho dist church. The rain last Monday had a cooling effect on the atmosphere, and a cheering influence on the farmers. Planters are busily engaged getting in their cotton. ♦ O*- ♦ —■ ROW GN THE RIO. James J. Haynes, United States com mercial agent, telegraphed to the State j department from New Laredo, Mexico, I April 16th: That the revolutionists | have levied the forced loan there on j merchants to the amount of $2,000. If j not “paid the stoi'es will be forced and j the goods sold to double the amount, j The amount will be divided among ten | merchants, five of whom are American citizens. Haynes applied to Fort Me Intosh for protection, but the com mandant refused to act without orders from Washington. The secretary of war directs the department commander to j grant the protection asked to American citizens against such lawless outrages as the government of Mexico is unable to prevent, but wishes caution to ne exer cised. The secretary of war thinks that the intention of this government to pro tect its citizens will perhaps prove suf ficient The secretary of navy will also direct the gun boats on the Rio Grande to co-operate for the protection of Ameri can citizens. The Augusta Chronicle says there is no authority for the current statement that Mr. Stepnens is "about to resign. Mr. Stephens’ health is recovering, and Lis tenure of office is more likely to be lengthened than shortened. The Indiana convention declares Hen dricks to be its unanimous choice and directs the delegation to cast the vote of the State as a unit as the majority of the delegation may determine to be best. In the senate a joint resolution was pased authorizing .he secretary of war to issue certain arms to the Washing ton light infantry of Charleston, S. C., ■ and the Clinch rifles of Georgia. HARD TIMES. Editor The Gazette : I am no proph et, nor son of a prophet, but venture a few assertions as to the future, basing my opinion upon what I know of the ! past and what is now going on. Hard times is the cry now and has ; been evei since I cau remember. I would like to know if there is anybody living who cau recollect so far back that it was not hard times. Still I see that in all ages and times some people have thrived and grown rich. All classes, trades and professions claim that they are the oppressed ones now, tnd as a general thing they are all inside the bounds of truth in so claim ing. But since there are some in all po sitions who succeed, no matter how hard the times, we must confess that it is more in the will than the way we have to make a living. Of all classes the farmers are the class who should be the best off now. It is not the case though. They seem to bo as hard pressed as anybody ; and harder are they to be convinced that raising so mucJ cotton and depending upon buy ing their supplies is the reason they aro falling worse behind every year. Some of them reason well, apparently, on the adaptability of their lands to cotton and show’ you how utterly unprofitable it would be # to raise grain with such and such yields per acre, when by using guano so many hundred pounds of cotton can be produced per acre, which will bring so much more money. This they saj they can sell and buy their bacon, corn and flour, and still have more money left than they would have were they to raise their own supplies—letting the surplus be in cotton But how is it that their neigh bor who has as poor land and commenc ed life in worse circumstances, but who does not plant so much cotton, and al ways raises enough provisions at home, is not in de: t and is getting on so well ? How many who follow the plan of planting the largest part or all of their crop in cotton succeed ? None. Very few of them have enough money left af ter paying their debts in the fall to buy the next year’s supply of provisions. In fact ninety-nine out of a hundred who follow this plan of farming never get out ot debt at all. They mortgage their property, give deeds to their lands—they do anything that their provision dealer requires of them to make him safe in letting them have supplies on time at from 25 to 50 an'd sometimes 100 per cent, more than the same would sell for cash. Some of them rebel when the prices are told them, and say they “will borrow the money before they will pay such prices.” But where will they go to find it? When they find it, nothing but the hardest work, the best security in the way of deeds, mortgages, collateral, etc., and humble entreaties, with the highest interest and strongest promises that they will pay the note when due, or per haps a few days before, can get it. Where there is one money lender there is a hundred borrowers, veiy few of whom cau be accommodated. It is a rare thing (in the country) tliat the lender ever collects the whole amount he lends at once ; but takes it in small amounts as the poor borrower can spare it. Henca by the time the debt is through being paid, the borrower has paid twice the amount he first borrowed counting in the interest. The borrower hardly ever catches up. If ho pays off one debt he borrows from somebody else tp do it, or leaves other debts un paid. The dry goods and shoe mer chants must luve the money for goods they have been selling or they go under. The professions must live upon their practice ; how can they do it unless they collect? There is but one strictly cash business (and that is not cash unless corn be counted cash) that can be done in this country, that is the grinding of grain. The miller, like a sensible man, take® the toll as he grinds. The good farmer who raises his own provisions and is out of debt is a suc cessful man, an independent man, and, strictly speaking, “lives at boms and boards at the same house.” The profit that is made by the mer chant selling on time is complained of Whose fault is it ? I have never seen a merchant yet who would not prefer sell ing goods at a small profit for tho cash, than a large one on time. He may sell few or many goods on time and lie can not collect over one-half that is due him in the fall. He is fortunate who has collected enough to square his indebtedness the season just past. If the merchant does not collect what is due him he must borrow also, give deeds, mortgages, collaterals, etc. —do anything to keep up his customers, “who are good, but cannot pay out owing to the low price of cotton, but will come out next fall, certain.” Which they are certain not to do, unless they use more economy. Now is the time to begin tho change for the better. Resolve that your ex penses shall be less. Sacrifice, deny yourselves the pleasure of a few things now, that you may be able to afford and enjoy many hereafter. Try the experi ment, and see how much can be accom plished in ene year. All classes must reform in this particular A crisis is up on us. Tfce panic of 1873 was nothing to compare with the one just ahead, un less we do all in our power to avert it. I That was felt in the large cities and wealthier classes, this will come to our homes and firesides. Do not blame capitalists for wanting to be made safe when they lend you money. Do not go on borrowing and going deeper and deeper in debt every ; year until your cattle and lauds are all taken from you, and you are left in a worse condition than were the people of Egypt after the seven years’ famine. They had one common master—a chris . tian overseer; all of us may not have Josephs as landlords. For our own and our children’s sakes, let us stop this heedless extravagance. Buy only the necessaries of life until we ■ can pay for the luxuries. Your fellow sufferer, Richard. Mass Meeting of the Democratic Party of El bert County. Pursuant to a call of the Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Elbert County, a number of citizens as sembled in the courthouse hist Satur day, the 22d. The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, lion Emory P. Edwards, and in the absence of the Secretary, on motion of Hon. E. M. Rucker, Jas. L. Harper, Esq., was selected to fill that position. The Chairman in an explicit and elab orate manner stated the object of the meeting, though he presumed nearly ev ery one knew it. Ha added that the convention to be held at St. Louis bad work of a grave and momentous charac ter to perform in nomination of a candi date for President, and as the occasion would require sound statesmanship, he wanted statesmen to be sent there. Hon. E. M. Rucker, then addressed the assembly iu his usual eloquent style. He said the prosperity of the country depended upon the reinstatement of the Democratic party. He spoke of the past glorious triumphs of tho party, the con dition of the country from Radical rule, the regaining of ground by the Demo crats, etc. Capt. J. J. Burch offered the follow ing resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That we, the Democracy of Elbert county pledge our faith in and support to the principles upon which the Federal Government was founded, and which were illustrated by the noble patriots in the early and better days of the Republic. In an especial degree do we desire and insist upon a pure, efficient and honest administration of the govern ment in all of its departments. On motion of Mr. Ilobt. M Heard, a committee of five was appointed by the Chair to select delegates to the Demo cratic Convention to be held at Greens boro to-day. Tho Chairman appointed the following named gentlemen : Robt. M Heard, Elbert M. liueker, S Newton Carpenter, James J. Burch, and William T. Andrew. The committee repaired to their room, and after deliberation reported the fol lowing names : E. M. Rucker, T. A. Chandler, J. P. Shannon, and J. T. McCarty. On motion the report of the commit tee was adopted. Mr. Chandler, thanked the committee and meeting for the honor conferred, and if he attended the convention, after consultation with the soundest Demo cratic talent of the State, would vote for the truest and noblest men for delegates to the National Convention, whether they nominated Samuel J. Tndon, of New York ; Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio ; or Senator Bayard, of Delaware ; for tho presidency. All ho wanted was a pure Democrat for the office. The meeting then on motion adjourn ed. E. P. Edwards, Cu’m. J. L. Harper, Sec’y. V <&■ * A traveler was lately boasting of tho luxury of arriving at night, after a hard day’s journey, to partake of the enjoy ment of a well cut ham and tho left leg of age ose. “Pray, sir, what is the po culiar luxury of a left leg?” “Sir, to conceive its luxury, you must find that it is the only leg that is left!” The mewl (wrote a school boy) is a larger bird than the guse or turkey. It have two legs to walk with, and two more to kick with: and it wears its wings on the side of its head. It is stubborn ly backward about going forward. A\Xr.\C' !■:M E\Ts. The friends of T.
