Letter from lloguiiwvillc. Hooanbville, Ga., Doc. 11, 1877. Mu. Editor: Two of our most oslinmbh young men —Perry 0. Widotuim anti Loviok P. Ponder lelt hero for Louisiana last week. Ii is always a Iosh to any community to lose such young men, and a gain to tho community in which they may in tho futuro reside. As ovi- donco of their good moral character, thoir many friends gave thorn testimonials as to their high standing iu this community. They aro worthy tho Qpnfidonco of any people, anywhere. May prosperity and happiness ever attend them, and may their lines full in pleasant places. ILLNESS. Mr. Burr ltagsdalo has been in a critical con dition for several days past, llo is troubled with a dropsical affection about tho heart. (Ex- cuso mo for not using tho phraseology of doc tors, please.) He is a good man, and wo would regret li^t death very much. OOINO TO NORTH OEOROIA. Mr. W. E. Glanton,, on yoRtorday sold his household and kitchen furnituro, and many other things, preparatory to removing near Romo. By his removal, wo lose a good citizen, notwithstanding his Iurhch financially, aud I hope ho may in his now homo bo moro prosper ous thau of Into years and soon recover his lost fortunes. MISCHIEF. Our town is again blest (?) with a bar-room. All tho year tho town has boon peaceful and quiet, but only a few nights after tho bar-room was opened some.one on ovil intent, toro away the Rteps to tho store-rooms and scattered them foro and aft, athwart the town. I don’t know that tho bar-room had anything to do with it, but it is rather suspicious conduct for a 6aue, Bobor man. DISAPPOINTMENT. Can’t you, Mr. Editor, by some mammoth effort of tongue or pen, teach disappointed can didates tho extremely useful lessou, how to "keep cool?” It is very important. “Disap pointment sinks the heart of man,” they say, aud from tho luss some people make over a litt o disappointment, I am afraid to deny tho old saying for tear it is so horrible even tho men tion ol its name might cause the hair to stand on ends, “Like tho quills of a fretful porcupiuo.” Some people will quarrel; no help for it—and some take it at hnvj-taw, quarrel aud fuss at thoso away off yonder out of hearing, and — well, I admire that way of doing—that kind ol quarrelling don’t hurt. But this “long-law” business, while it doesn’t hurt uuybndy, yet— get ’em to quit it, Mr. Editor—you know tho course of the "boomerany." FESTIVAL. There is to bo a festival at “College Hall,” Thursday uikht next, lor benefit of the Metho dist Church. Preparations aro being made foi a good time generally. Everybody with his family is invited. Only twenty-Jive cuds. Would be glad to havo the Reporter well represented. Can’t \on come? Langion. Murder. Last Friday morning, Mr. James B. Htow- ftit, who was employed by Major John W. Mo- (iuo, was packing cotton, and told a negro named Alford Clark, to take his wagon out of tho way of tho screw-lover. Clark was slow about it, when Mr. Stewart remarked that ho would move it himself. Clark replied: “Damn you, do it then,” whereupon Mr. Stewart knock ed him down. That night, as Mr. Stowart was going out of his house to tho wood-pile, Clark was lying in wait for him and shot himwith a Bhot gun. The load entered tho side and went through tho lungs. Tho victim died in about half au hour. Tho assassin fled aud was tracked to tho river bridge, but has not boou hoard from. Mr. Stew art was about forty years old, and leaves a wilo and several children. The neighbors aro very much excited over tho cold blooded assassina tion, aud every effort will bo made to catch the villain. Iu unothor column Governor Colquitt offers a reward of $200 for Clark. Tho LaGrango Association lias decided to dis continue the Sunday ukornoon meetings at the Presbyterian church, during tho winter, to he resumed in the spring. As a substitute two (or possibly moro) cottage prayer-meetings will be hold in differout parts of tho city on each Sunday afternoon. This plan was considered better than tho other, as tho Inclement weather would probably make tho attendance at the church small; and tho ladies would doubtless pi efer to uttend meetings nearer home, during tho cold weather. To RENT FOR 1878.—My house aud lot one mile west ol tho oourthouse of LaG. tinge. Also, a lot of horses, mules and wagons for sale. S. W. Swanson. 50-21 GEORGE F. HOAR, of Concord, so long fumilliur iu the House, pre Bents a new lace to the Senate. In its coutoui coloring and expression it is strongly like thu of Horace Greeley, and even the tones of b voico recalls to his friends tho presence of th great journalist. Since becoming a Senate Mr. Hoar lms improved in presence and in ma uer. IIo is iu person more serene, and iu speee moro uffuble. lie is clear-beaded and uea always in tho van of advanced ideas, llo likely to make a mark iu tho Seuato of whic Massachusetts, even, need not be ushained. STANLEY MATTHEWS, the only Senator who is supposed to ho able t whisper in the presidential ear. Ho is not imposing looking a mortal as Coultling, v won the high insiguia list year of whisperer tho White House, but is quite the average Oi an. His extreme sanguine temperament glow in the red-yellow hair and beard, iu his beau: ing blue eyes and blooming cheeks. Ho look like a younger Brigham Young. That is, L looks like tho pictures of Briglmiu Young, would bo the last person on earth to accuse th. gentleman of resembling tho disgusting Mo: men iu character or habits. Mr. Matthew seems rather a man ot refinement than of gre: mental force, lie dresses with extremo car His high white collar is faultless, his head fine, his brow commanding, his* couuteuauc open, but his nose, slender and rather flat, not tho noso of power. It will never cleave h: way to eminence, like the proboscis of Evarb tor example. conkling. Thus ended a o s s i p. Read tho new advertisements.

Craven, sou of Dr. Cmveu, who re sided iu this place several years alter tho war, was married at Whitesboro, Texas, Deo. 2d, to Miss Annie Robinson. A delegate Irom Carroll replies to Dr. Pitman this week. Why continue tbe matter? It will do r.o gpod, and no harm. The leaders of the Raporter say they want somo news, now that we hive quit publishing capital stuff. Offfor Teams, Lust Monday, tliirty-one persons left tho La- Grange rtopet for Texas. They belong to the families of Messrs, g. M. Buggett, G. T. Jones and Lambert. We regret to see so many of our people leaving Georgia to try the uncertainties of Texas. ^ A MICE stock ol Popkct Cutlery just received at Phillips’ shoe store, Tire Irenian Enter! ifnmcnt. The entertainment given by the Irenian So ciety, ot the LuGruuge Eemule College, last Fri day night, was well attended, and was very suc- cessllll. The first thing in the programme wub South ey's “How the water comes down at Lodore.” This remarkable specimen oi versification was re oiled by thirty girlaaud young Indies iu concert. Auy one inmiliar with ii, knows what a severe exercise iu elocution it is; hut this vendition oi it was almost limitless, nod ns not only inter esting, but was indicative oi the training the pupils hail received. The next recitation was Jean Ingeiow’s poem, ■Songs o! Seven.” Miss Jennie Mallard repre- | subscriptions to our Fair Association, ”—Childhood; Miss sented “Seven times Mary Mabry, “Seven limes two”— Romance; Miss Mattie Traylor,“Seven times three”—Love; Miss Jennie McFail, “Seven times four”-Ma ternity; illiss L ila Williams, “Seven times five” —Widowhood; Miss Mollie Whitaker, “Seven times six”—Giving iu marriage; Mis. Ola Sim mons “Seven times seven"—Longing for home. This beautilul creation ol the poei was exquisite ly rendered, and was, to our mind, Iho most at tractive leaturo of the evening. A humorous diulogue—“The Country Aunt’B Visit," iollowed, to the great amusement of the audience. Misses Jennie McFail, Olivia Oliver, Lizzie Traylor aud Mary Lou Huntley, acted the principal parts. “The Gilts of the Fairy Queen" was beautiful, both in the soenio effect aud in the moral of the recitations included iu it. Miss Lula Tyner made a most beautiful queen—one worthy to gmoe any throne; aud right royally did Bhe dis pense her favors and issue her decrees. Misses Mattie Cook, Sallio Williams aud Mattie McGe- Uee were the principal fairies, and their recita tions were remarkably distinct and intelligible. The other iairtes were Misses Virgie Buice, Ida Price, Charlie Wales, Mary Ware, Mary Mabry anti several others, ( The closing dialogue was "Precious Jewels.” Eoligioti, Faith, Hope and Charity were repre sented by Misses Virgie Buioe, Mattie McGee, Irene Ward and * Tlte music was all good. The instrumental portion was by Misses Jones,Simmons and Tray lor. Misses Buioe aud Tyner sang a duett; us did also Hisses Simmous aud MoFail. The first tableau—Portrait gallery—was be- wilchiugly beautiful; tho seooud, which was given as an encore, was extremely ludiorous, Ab a whole and iu all its parts the entertain ment was a sucoess, aud was tnuoh enjoyed, We have never attended a similar exhibition ol a higher oharaoter. It rofleoted great oredit on the Society, ond on Miss Eiohordaou, who wub direotor-in-chief. W. C. Gholbon has the only strictly fire-proof warehouse in LaGrange, Senator Conkling, Iho must biller enemy tho Mississippi levee bill, beoause it, relates, says, “to purely local interests,” bus recontl presented to Congress, and given his endor ineut tuerelo, a petition asking for $50,000 iu a preliminary survey by army engi route lor a grand African railroad, exleudiu from Libeiia into tho interior. It is Conkling intention to develop Libe 1 ia. Hu wishes, iu at dition to this $50,000, to establish a steumshi line from New York to Liberia, by weans ol large subsidy, and will probably follow this u with a bill making the United States guarani' the bonds of this prospective Liberian railroac All of this, says tho New Orleans Democrat strictly proper.

Mr. Editor:—The time has beeu opportune, within tho past three weeks, for gettiug good Let each officer ask himself if tho season has beeu improp er. If not, what means this apathy? With a view to directing this enquiry I write. It Joes seem that each and every officer ought to be diiligeutly at work, with subscription list aud pencil, approaching every fit subject in this aud sister counties lor his contribution. “Dillydally ing” in this matter means a failure. Wo meau that tho time lor obtaining aud collecting sub scriptions is passiug away; all business ineu well know what is to bo douo must bo speedily done. Why be years accomplishing that which should be douo at once ? We need more buildings, wo need a track,and wc need au amphitheatre all of which can be built if proper energy is exercised. Every officer was elected (it was thought) because of his pe- cular fitness; therefore stockholders will claim that each owes a faithful discharge of duty to the association. We fear, Irom the movements ot some officers aud committeemen under whose management we are to progress, that they have obtained but few if any subscribers. Why aro not meeliugs held to devise ways \iud means by which to carry ou the good work ? High Private. THE NEXT ASSEMBLY.

T HE ECLECTIC reprints from all the foreign Quarter lies, Reviews, Magazines, and Journals, their choicest contents, including Essays, Soiontiflc Papers, Biograph ical Sketches, Reminiscences of Travel uud Advuutnre, Tales, Stories, aud Poeius. The field of selection iB very largo, aud it is believed that the Eclectic presents a grater variety and higher standard of literature than any periodical cau hope to do that depends exclusively upon homo talent. A knowledge of tho ourrent literature of foreign coun tries is indispensable to all who would keep pace with tho progress of tho human raiud; aud the Eclectic offers tho best, and, indeed, the only, opportunity for ob taining this knowledgo withiu a roasouablo compass, aud at a moderate prico.

Willi regard to tho character of the selections, the aim of the Eclectic is to be Instructive without being dull, and cutertuining without being trivial.
