TO TEE PUBLIC!
Several weeks ago one J. T. Olive, of Lexing
ton, Oglethorpe county,Georgia, while n Athens,
Georgia, gave currency to a vile slander regard
ing a lady friend of mine. My attention having
been called to his slanderous statements, and
being the only relative of the lady who could
tall him to account, I addressed him a note,
through a friend, asking for the author of the
statements made by hi n, and also, hit. reason
for promulgating the slander. Instead, of a
frank, manly answer io my inquiries, his note
was a series ot quibbles and erasions, and final
ly when presed so close by Die, that quibbles
and erasions would no longer answer, he skulked
behind a petticoat, and a negro's petticoat at that,
by stating that otic negro girl told another negro
girl, she (negro girl No. 2) told George B.
Lumpkin, ot Oglethorpe county, Georgia,and lie
(George B. Lumdkin) lold Olive. His explana
tion for promulgating the slander was so low
and vile, as to place him beneath the notice of
any gentleman. Having discovered his.true char
acter, I was. loth to continue the affair any fur
ther, but as I had recognized him in the (begin
ning) of the correspondence, 1 concluded to
waive the question of equality and press the
matter to a conclusion. I therefore demanded of
him in terms any gentleman would understand,
satisfaction for his vile conduct, but be positive
ly refused to grant my request in language as
low and cowardly as Ins former communications.
Nothing remains for me therefore, but to “post
him, as I do, as a vile slanders) , vilman and A
COWARD.

Oglethorpe Superior Court.
The adjourned term of this court con- ,
vened in Lexington last Monday, Messrs, j
Hester and Osborn from Elberton repre- i
scuts this bar. The cases for which the
adjourned term was called we presume
will be tried.
Off to Augusta.

Sunday Shoo] Christmas Tree.
Annually for several years past the
Elberton Sunday school has had Christ
mas trees which proved a source of in
terest to the older members as well as !
great delight and enjoyment to the j
smaller pupils of the school. Now tho j
school has under consideration the hav
ing of another during the holidays, and
we think there is doubt but that it will
so determine next Sabbath. We see no
objection to a tree, while on the contra
ry we discern where great advantages
may accrue from this and similar celebra- j
tions both to tho school and community.
Have it.

The Male School.
Tins institute of learning this week
closes its fall session. For several years
past it has been ably presided over by
Col. P. E. Davant, whose sterling abili
ty as a teacher is unquestionable, and
whose efficiency as an instructor unex
celled. We learn that the Col. has
tendered his resignation as principal of
the school to the trustees, and will leave
Elberton for some other field of labor,
and while Elberton will be the loser and
we regret his departure, the community
that is so fortunate as to secure his citi
zensbip will have gained quite a valua
ble acquisition. May prosperity attend
him.

Lock Jaw,
Mr. T. J. Hester had a horse to stick
a nail in his left fore foot some time ago,
from the effects of which he has never
recovered. Last Sunday the animal’s
condition became worse, and up to this
time has been unable to eat anything at
all, the effects of the nail having devel
oped itftft lock jaw, and the poor beast
is now* starving to death. Nearly all
the horse doctors in the country have
used their skill on him though without
avail, and the probabilities are that he
will die soon.
Fruit Tef.es.— All persons who wish

that in a couple of weeks or near that
time, the '.house will bo ready for ser I
vice. So then, we think it will be safe j
to state that this house of worship that
has been of so much interest to the
community in every way except in a
precumiary point of view*, will be com
pleted in'a style satisfactory to all by
the middle of December, and it is to be
hoped that the committee will hear
from subscribers and those that feel like
subscribing at an early day. Let tho
work now* be paid for.

but regretted to see the decrease in the

THAT MATCH HUNT.
Game Slaughtered in Great Numbers—the
Supper at Night.
Last week the sporting gentlemen of
Elberton determined to have the match
hunt| that they had had in anticipation
for some time past, and Messrs. J. L
Deadwyler and T. J. Blackwell, as Cap
tains proceeded to choose their men for
the contest. Thursday night the club
convened and drew up rules and regula
tions by which the hunt should be gov
erned, what certain game should count,
etc. Partridges were made the stand
ard and counted one point, turkeys, 10 ;
geese, 6 ; ducks, 4 ; rabbits, 1; squir
rels, 1; snipe, 1; pigeons, doves, ;
yellow hammers, \ ; field larks, ; black
birds, one-sixth ; and
SATURDAY, THE 25tH,
chosen as the day for the hunt.
It would not be amiss to state that
after the preliminaries were made for
the match that a permanent organiza
tion of the
ELBERTON SPORTING CLUB
was effected by the election of Hon.
Emory P. Edwards, President; Thomas
A. Jones, Esq., Vice-President; Capt.
Joseph L. Deadwyler, Secretary; Mr.
C. Chedel, Treasurer. The formation
of such a club here will be a guaranty
to the protection of game out of season,
and in various particulars will be an ad
vantage to this section, as well as afford
ing first-class sport to the members of
the association, and we wish it a long life
of pleasure.
Messrs. H. K. Gairdner, It. F. Tate,
and R.iM- s Heard were appointed the com
mitte to have the game served up Sat
urday night, and a more suitable and
SKILLED TRIO
could not have been selected as ivas ex
plicitly demonstrated when supper was
announced.
Well, Saturday came, and early in the
morning the participants began leaving
town for the hunting grounds, each man
intently bent on doing his utmost to
make his side victorious, and soon the
country below town was resounding with
CONTINUOUS REPORTS
from the guns of the clubs. Tho day
was propitious for the sport, and with
the exception of a sick pointer, and the
breaking of a couple of guns the draw
backs were few.
The entire day was spent in the shoot
ing of game, and not until about six
o’clock in the evening did the clubs put
in an appearance at Elberton, weighted
dmvn with the game they had bagged
during the hunt.
The committee proceeded to count
the game and without tho interposition
of a canvassing board declared that Cap
ta*n Deadwyler's side was ahead by
TWENTY-SEVEN AND ONE HALF POINTS,
the count being 77 to 49£. When the
announcement was made three cheers
were made for the victors, and the de
feated though taking it admirably well
didn’t appear to feel so good.
Tho champion shot of tire day was
CAPTAIN DEADWYLER,
he haying bagged the largest number
of game the greater part of which were
partridges.
The participants and committee whil
ed away the time in a merry manner
during the preparation of the game,
and by the time
THE SUPPER
was announced, which was rather late,
the appetite of every one was up to that
pitch that might almost be termed “rav
enous, and full justice was done the ed
ibles that was prepared in a style that
reflected great credit upon the commit
tee. Language fails us when we attempt
‘to describe the inviting appearance of
the tables, and the palatable styles in
which the game was cooked, but we feel
safe in saying that the most fastidious
epicurean could have found no fault
with this choice supper. One gentle
man who is as noted for his veracity as
for his poor appetite says he ate at least
a covey of partridges, and he didn t feel
like eating much either. Let this suf
fice.
We have been requested to state for
the benefit of those who have been so
unjust as to accuse the club of selfish
ness, that a resolution had been adopted
by the association that no invitation to
the supper should be extended any one
outside of the e.ubs for the sole reason
that it was the judgment of the associa
tion that all
ILL FEELINGS
and accusations of selfishness would
thereby be obviated, as can easily be
seen we think that had a few invitations
been made the room for complaint by
these who would not have been invited
would have been all the greater.
The whole affair was a grand success,
and we think we echo the sentiment of
every Darticipant when we say every one
enjoyed it hugely.

CNE MURDER TO FIVE PARISHES.
Gov. Kellogg was pushed into an awk
ward corner the other day in his inter
view with the Democratic representatives
now in New Orleans. He and all the
other Governors whose States have re
pudiated them, have been telegraphing
North all sorts of lies to Repu lican pa
pers without* thinking that they might
be called to account for them at home.
Ex Senator Doolittle asked Gov, Kellogg
what foundation he had for his statement
telegraphed to a New York newspaper
that the vote of five parishes would be
thrown out on account of intimidation
and fraud The Governor cast about for
an answer and finally gave the details of
a murder that happened a year ago! One
murder to five parishes! One murder
to keep thousands of Republicans from
the polls and inducing thousands of them
jto vote the Democratic ticket! No, no,
; gentlemen. Start your outrage factions
! at once, and give us murders and as
saults and threats in all their old time
abundance, but don’t expect that tbe
Northern people to believe that Gov.
i Hayes must be declared President, be
cause a year ago one murder was com
mitted in Louisiana. You must produce
a bigger bill of particulars if you want
i to win th j case.
The Matrimonial Season.
From what we can gather the matri
monial business will commence at an
early day and respectfully call-attention
to the following press rule pertaining to
this matter:
All notices of marriage where no
bridecake is sent will be set up in small
type, and poked in an outlandish cor
ner of the paper. Where a hanußome
piece of cake is sent, the notice will be
put conspicuously in large letters ; when
gloves or other bride fa vox’s are added,
a piece of illustrative poetry will be
given in addition. When hoYvever, the
editor or local attends at tho ceremony
in person, and kisses the bride, it will
have especial notice—very large type—
and the most approprate poetry that can
be begged, borrowed or stolen.
Don’t buy your goods until U C my
stock. J.Selig.
THE PHYSICAL BENEFIT OF~ SUNDAY.
Sunday is God’s special present to
the working man, and one of it3 cheif
objects is to prolong his life and pre
serve efficient his w*orking tone. In the
vital system it works like a compensa
tion pond ; it replenishes the spirit, tho
elasticity and vigor, which the last six
days have drained away, and supplies
the force which is to fill the six days suc
ceeding ; and in the economy of exist
ence it answers the same purpose as the
economy of income is answered by a
savings bank. The frugal man who puts
away a pound to-day and another next
month, and who in a quiet way, i3 put
ting by his stated pound from time to
time, when he grows old and frail gets
not only the same pound back again but
a good many pounds besides. And the
conscientious man who husbands one
day of his existence in a rveek—who, in
stead of allowing Sunday to be trampled
and torn in the hurry and scramble of
life, treasures it up—the Lord of Sunday
keeps it for him, and in tbe length of
days and hale of age gives it back with
usury. The savings bank of human ex
istence is the weekly Sunday.
RUSTIC' FLOWER POTS.
Last season I had a pretty arrange
ment of my front yard which was much
admired, as things of beauty. When
the winter’s wood was hauled to the
house, there were some hollow logs
amongst it. These were sawed off about
eighteen inches long ; the decayed wood
from the inside was scraped *out; then
filled with rich earth and manure; ,
in the centre 1 had a rosebush, and next
moss [pinks ; on the outer edge I sat
slips of ivy, and wandering Jew ; in one
I raised Si,me sweet peas. The plants
grew nicely, and they were certainly
beautiful ornaments; a source of pleas
ure to myself aud admiration to pass
ers by. These little arrangements are
but trifling, but anything that makes
home plessast and enjoyable is worth
seeing about and trying for, and trifles
add much either to happiness, or dis- 1
comfit, all through life.—Rural llouio.
