Among the several departures which are about to bo made from our county, we regret to learn that Messrs. Selig contemplate removing at an early day. These gentlemen came among us sixteen months ago as strangers, and opened a cash business house in Elberton. This was comparatively an untried field, but no more worthy gentlemen could have made the experiment. With full stocks of goods for the seasons, they succeeded in attracting many customers, among them a large class who had not been in the habit of buying here before. They did a very' good business, when the new ness of the enterprise and the great scarcity of money are considered, but not thinking the business large enough they determined to open a wholesale grocery house in Atlanta. While we re gret greatly to lose them, we earnestly hope their change of business will result to their perfect satisfaction. Me wi Ji them the greatest success wherever th‘ y may go or in whatever business they may embark. They leave behind thtm a host of friends who we know will endorse all we have said. A Pour Tuck Snow. Our citizens were greatly surprised on Monday morning to find the grouud covered with snow to the depth of about four inches, a heaver fall than has been known here for the past twenty years. During the day Monday hardly a vehicle could be seen traversing the streets; but in their steed the young people were amusing themselves with sleighs hastily constructed for the occasion. The Supper given by the ladies in the interest of the Presbyterian church, on Wednesday night last, was a thorough success, not withstanding the very inclement weather, and the gross proceeds amounted to about §BS. The supper was a most in viting one, as unhesitatingly declared by the many who partook of it. The eve ning was an extremely enjoyable ono. Cotton Burning-. While hauling a wagon load of cotton to the depot on the 21st ult., Mr. Ed. Clark accidently had some fodder to catch fire from matches that escaped from his coat pocket. The fodder blazed up immediately, and soon the flames seized the cotton, which was with difficulty finally put out, after the loss of 300 ftp. of the staple. The cotton was the prop j erty of Messrs. Jno. H. Jones & Cos. The Pew Delinquents which we spoke of in our last issue, came to time handsomely and promptly, | and we are glad to be able to announce ! ONE of the number who lagged behind, j who, we expect, is only awaiting election day to square up. Many thanks to you, ' gentleman. New Arrivals. Rev. Messrs Florence and Cotter, the i new Methodist ministers for this circuit I have arrived in Elberton, where they j will both reside. We tender them a cor dial welcome to our midst, and hope their stay will be an agreeable one to them and to their respective charges. Fast Stock. Among the fastest of the stock on the ' streets Monday, the most noted was Ike Swift’scream, which he has named Tilden lin honor of our next President. Fabul ous sums Have been offered for this rapid i traveler, but for once money proves no : inducement. “Nathan’s Lamentation” will appear next week. For The Gazette.] MADISON COUNTY ITEMS. Madison Cos., Jan. Ist., 1877. Our Christmas has passed merrily away, and notwithstanding the weather, unparalleled for severity, there have been many sociable gatherings among our young people. THE CHRISTSIAS TREE at the Fork church was a novelty in that community and proved a success, it was a free thing and all in the neighborhood used it as a medium for their gifts as they felt disposed, and but few were overlooked. LEGACY. We congratulate the Thirlkekl family upon the reception of a legacy amount ing to between one and two thousand dollars for each of the five brothers and sisters. The legacy comes from the es tate of a deceased brother who lived in Columbus, Ga. YANKEE RAID. Certain Federals have again been dis turbing the quiet of our citizens on North river. They have taken captives Messrs. Singleton Henry and son, Wm. Drake Eph. Bond. All of these are said to have been engaged in making an improper use of their grain and frui crops One of these raiders went be yond the range of his authority, and for his amusement threatened the life of Mr. King. He was arrested and in the county jail awaits his trial, and there is no danger of cheated, as the people here are r.ot partial to men of his calling. SHOOTING -AFFRAY. We were sorry to learn the other day that Mr. John Wynn shot and severely wounded the old negro, Block Smith, living near New Town. Both were said to be drinking. BROKEN LIMB. of onr citizens, whose name we failed to learn, fell from his horse while running him, and fractured his thigh. Lest we be thought disorderly in this , section we will not give the cause of his unusual Christmas merriment. M-ypiiED, at the residence of the bride’s mother, in Madison Cos., Dec. 28th, by Rev. J. B. Morton, Mr. John A. McCurdy and Miss Elizabeth Strickland. THE GAZETTE IN MADISON. We hope to see a column in every is sue of your paper, devoted to our coun ty, and its circulation largely increased among us. H. Change. This subtle power, which marks all things for its own, has been making its inroads upon our village and community (lately that has made quiet a difference among ns. Some of the changes our readers will find voted in our columns this week with others to follow in their order. The ravages of war left its many marks behind, and the ravages.of “hard times” are hardly less severe in all that is mutable. We see an evident determination on the part of the people to reduce business to a “hard pan” system, am are greatly to prognosticate a decided improvement in the results in the very near future. “By the sweat of thy brow 8 salt thou earn thy bread,” is tin* divine edict, and many, we think, are beginning to more fully compreheny its meaning. --*•♦ Frightful and Fatal Burning of a Child. On Friday last, a little boy, about two years old, son of Col. Jas. S. Hammond, of Elberton, had his clothing to catch fire at the fire-place, and so rapidly did the horrible element do its work that before his mother could suppress tl e flames, the lims of the little fellow was so badly burned as to cause his death in about fifteen hours, after the most cartful nursing by the distressed par rents We sympathise deeply with the mourning house-hold over the loss of the only and petted child. - Going to a New Field Col. P. E. Davant, who leaves us in a few days for Lawtonviile, Burke county, Ga., has been in charge of the Elberton ‘Male Academy for the past four yeare, andiis one of the best instructors this community has ever had, as all who have pati’onised him will most cheerfully testify. Having such inducements ten dered him as to cause his removal to this new field, he goes from among us with the regrets and good wishes of all our -citizens. A gentleman of sterling worth and Christian character, he will never fail to win friends wherever fate may cast lot. May the greatest suc cess attend him throughout life. The Election for the county takes place to day, which we hope will prove satisfacto ry to contestants and their dear friends. Look among our announcements, and you will find no difficulty whatever in knowing who to vote for. We expect the vote will be a very small one throughout the county. Notwithstand ing the inclement weather there is a large crowd in Elberton, and the voting is lively. Gold Yf eather. The weather during the past two weeks has been excessively cold for our climate, and has caused the oldest in habitants to rummage over their old note books to fiud a parallel for it; but we believe, so far, without avail. It has been unpleasantly winterish since the first of December. Off for Atlanta. Dipt. Jas. J. Burch takes his depart ure for Atlanta to-morrw to repre sent his county in the Legislature. With out „an attempt at empty can|of truth*say that he is a worthy repre sentative of old Elbert. When The Gazette office gets on her new dress, it will be our time to say we are the “neatest of the neat and alto f gather lovely.” Home Brieflets. Shad. Oysters. Candidates. Beautiful snow. Christmas gone. Settle down to “biz.” The guano season nears. The political sky brightens. “A Happy New Tear” to you. No New Year calls made Monday. Last week was disagreeable muchly. The negroes have had a match-hunt. Elberton Christmas week was dull. The S. S. tree was a—well, never mind. Rev. Mr. Cotter and family have ar rived. The family grocery business is fcecom ing popular. The Presbyterian supper was an un precedented success. The prospects for good schools are said to be promising. Two droves of hogs in town last week. Selling from to 7c. gross. The cotton, we presume, raised in El bert is nearly in market, and sold. Pneumonia is threatening the good health of some portions of the county. What say you, now, about those im provements to be made on the big-gully ? The heaviest snow that has fallen in this section since 1852, fell last Mon day. The price for crossing Jarrell's ferry last Friday was doubled, so we have un derstood. One hunting party in this county last Wednesday succeeded in t massaereing 7C rabbits. The County Court, Judge YanDazer presiding, was busily engaged one day last week. Mr. E. W. Hewitt, of the popular National hotel of Atlanta, spent his Christmas here. Gens. Dillard and Haslett still with matchless grace wear the * of the El berton Sporting Club. “Why didn't yer have the Sunday school Christmas tree ?” is a question as common as it is absurd. Fewer amusements and entertain ments were had in Elberton this Christ mas than since the war. Owing to the very disagreeable weath er for the last ten days, business has been almost at a stand-still. The painting of the new church has been completed, and with the exception of upholstery is ready for use. Cakes sold for a nominal price at the Presbyterian supper last Wednesday night, and other articles as cheap. Our devil shot at a rabbit that was asleep in bed last week, but didn’t die turb the old hare’s rest worth a cent. What is the similarity between Gene. Georgy Dillard and Haslett and a police man ? Why, they all wear stars. * * * Now is the time to make your good resolves for the new year, but the hard est part of the job you’ll find will be to keep them. Now, girls, we kept telling yon that the immunities of Leap Year would soon be gone, and ye heeded not the gentle warning. When the young ladies now a days hand you a card with the cabalistic let ters Y. M. C. A. on it, it means “you may call again.” The canaille of the world, and Elber ton has her share of them, are those who behind their superiors’ backs seek to plant their slanderous, infamous fangs of envy. “Come in out of that snow, you’ll ketch guitarrhal fever!” shouted an El berton mother to her hopeful the other day. It is useless to explain that she meant catarrhal. A lesson of energetic goaheaditiveness can always be learned by watening the zealous and industrious workings of an Elbert candidate on the day when the election comes off. Don’t grieve about it. If you live to see the 4th of July, 1976, the celebration of the American Republic’s two hun dredth birth-day, you’ll count the recent little show at Philadelphia as simply nothing. The lodge of Good Templars here have had more additions of late than for a year previous. There seems to be some zealous workers in the order, and the lodge has our best wishss for prosperity. The merry jingling of the sleigh-bells sounded jollily on the streets here the first part of the week as the sleighs glided over the good looking snow—we were about to call it “beautifull snow,” but some folks might call it plebian. Mr. George Bradford, who got his arm broken last Saturday week, married the following Tuesday, and werhope that the same undaunted spirit running in the right channel, may cling to him through life, and his married state be one of felicity. It is rumored that the number of bar rooms in Elberton will be considerably curtailed after the 10th of January, when the annual license expires. This de crease we presume is cause by toe Coun cil having raised the prise of licence to SSOO. We make the above statement only as a rumor. 1877 came in dressed as a bride in pure, immaculate white—a robe of spot less snow clothed its infantile form, and mother earth, happy at the birth of her new-born babe all in white was neatly and prettily attired. Oh, p shaw! Snow six inches deep at this writing, (Monday 2f o’clock,) and still snowing. “Aren’t he splendid ?” asked a young lady of town the other night of her lover who she wanted to make a little jealous of another fellow, and ha sai’castically said, not seeming to think that he cams under the same heading—“smile on, but venture not to unmask man’s heart, and view the hell that’s there.” After to day three candidates for Tax Collector, three for Sheriff, and one for Tax Receiver, will throw up the sponge, and exclaim with the poet something like this— “ The saddest words of tongue or pen, Are these—it might have been ” Well, gentlemen, we would like to see you all have the office you crave for, but alas, alas! Going! Going! Gone! Mr. T. J. Blackwell has been selling out his remaining stock of goods at auc tion, and at cost at private sale, for sev eral days. This energetic young gen tleman has determined to till the soil tfes present year, in which we hope he will be eminently prosperous. All persons indebted to the Cato City Nurseries for fruit, trees will do well to call on James A.
