Sloan will give a drawing-room enter
tainment in Athens, Cut., on Wednesday

ronage of the good people of that goodly
town.
Read Both Sides.- -We believe that
a fair comparison of our telegraph it'
news —which is furnished by the Lnitetl
States and European News Association
with that furnished to the old papers of
the city by the Associated Press, which
is in the interest of the New York
papers, will convince any reader ot the
superior character of the news contain ed
in our paper. But We are not disposed
to be selfish, and we therefore suggest
that by taking the Daily Press, aud
one of the old papers, the reader will get
the news furnished by both Associa
tions; while, in taking both old papers,
they get precisely the same telegraphic
news in each, at a cost of $5 more than
would secure the Daily Press and one
old paper. Therefore we repeat the
suggestion—it you wish the best news,
furnished by one paper alone—take the
Daily Press at sj, il you wish all the
news, by both Association-, take one old
paper at $lO and the Daily Press at
$5. Verbuin sap.

want of prosecution.
State vs. William Henry (col), for lar
ceny from the house —nolle prosequi.
The criminal docket has been dis
posed of. The civil docket will be taken
up to-day.
The Tax ox Gas.—A writer in the
Charleston Newt asks the following
question. No doubt consumers would
like to hear it answered :
TANARUS, the JSdtior of Hie Daily Ne toe:
“Can you inform me by what
ty the Charleston Gas Light Company
undertakes to collect an excise tax 7
I find the following item in my tax bill :
“Government lax at 20 cents per
thousand.”
If not mistaken in my reading of the
Act,.this is a tax imposed upon the
manufacturer, and if the people are to
pay the Internal Revenue lax for the
Gas Company, why nut add City and
Btale tax also? A SCUSCUIBBR.
Impoutant New Invkntios.—We
can conscientiously recommend to those
suffering from weak or defective sight,
Professor Bernhardt’s single and double
vision Australian Crystal Spectacles.
They afford almost instantaneous relief,
and are, withal, the greatest aids to the
eyes that we have ever heard of. In
fact, we ba'‘o no do. ht ihat the Austra
lian Crystal Spectacles are the best
glasses in use, uud all that their propri
etor claims for them. Prof. Bernhardt
can Ik* found at the Planters Hotel
from It A. Mi, to 6 P. M.
jTnt Xkrt'Kß Os mil Diuntn.-—At the
recent meeting of the City Council, Mr.
George E. W. NeUon, the efficient
Keeper of the Augnyta Bridge, returned
$3,930 for bridge tolls, collected since
the November return. This large amount
speulqi 'volume* for the Bridge Keeper
and his assistant; ft'is proof of the.

their respective duties, foul points thftni

write a word or two in commendation of
the present young, talented, and trust
worthy Wharfinger, Captain H. Clay
Foster, than whwrt rmr City has no more
promising and honorable son. Always
to ba found at-his oliiee during office
hoars, and having the -City at

Rokiiekt.—Some three or fonr dray
loads of groceries were stolen from the
store of Ramey ft Titiibrirlake on Blond
Street, on Wednesday night last. It is
thought that the store was burglariously
cohered from the rear and the goods
carried off; but it seems singular that so
much could have been Carrie 1 off with
out attracting notice. Altogether, it Is.
a mysterous affair, and it is to be hoped,
will be satisfactorily solved.
Christmas Birds. —Turkeys are plen
tiful in the market now. The prices
demanded is great. Gobblers sll. Hens
$3 per pair. Apropos to the ; ’ dect of
turkeys, we say the raider- m about,
and it behooves all heads of families to
keep an open eye on their coops.
Heavy Return. —We learn that, our
reliable “Augusta Bridge Keeper” re
turned on Wednesday to the Collector
and Treasurer of the city, the sum of
one hundred and ninety dollars, as the
receipts lor tolluge that day. This is
we believe, the heaviest return made,
in a series of years, for a single day.
Travellers. —A large party of emi
grants passed through our city, Yester
day, en route for Mississippi. They
came from Anderson District, South
Carolin t.
The New York Herald, of Tues
day last, 11th instant, was handed us, at
a few minutes past live o’clock, last

Cheap Meet. —R. 11. Baler, in our
advertising column this morning, calls
the attention of the public to liis facili.
ties for offering cheap meat to every
body, as well as a choice stock of gro

Bit. Zbke.—Dr. Zeke is a colored
Dentist, who has advertised in ou r
paper for some time. He learned the
trade from an accomplished Dentist,
and lias had considerable experience in
in that business himself. A gentleman
who lias tried Zc-ke highly recommends
him ; and there are others of our citi
zens who can do the same. Courteous
and attentive to business the Doctor
ought to do well.
We notice that the President's Mes
sage, received through D. 11. Craig’s
new association, was published iu Ma
con, Ga., twelve hours in advance of any
of our Nashville papers. How did this
hiqijen? Can the agent of the New
York Associated Press informs us? —
Nashville Banner.
It happened simply bee tusc of Craig’s
superior enterprise and wide-awake
ittveuess. The Banner will find that so
lotur ns the Nashville papers hang on t)
the New York Associated Press monop
oly thev will regularly be from twelve t,
twenty four hours behind the papers
that use Craig's agency. The columns
of the Courier afford daily evidence of
the fact that in volume and value our
dispatches tire four times superior to
those of our Nashville contemporaries.
