THE RECORD
CEDAHTOWN, OA., .Al’RIL 27, 1877.
Tho troops littvo boon withdrawn
from Louisiana, sod it is now Bottled
Nichols is tho Governor
Latest dispatches indicate that, the
war io Europe is to be a big Bffiiir,
sod will not soon be over. Plant
more corn.
We are pleaBed to learn that Capt.
West succeeded while at Clncinnatti
and other western cities in affecting
sales for all tho iron the company
can make, at remunerative prices.
Thhris good news, not only for this
enterprising company, but for Cedar-
town and vicinity, for it cannot be
denied, that tho Cherokee Iron Co.,
baa done more for tho prosperity of
this section than every other enter
prise combined, and their success is
tho people’s success. Wo need more
such enterprises.
A Now Orleans dispatch says that
Packard has been supplied with funds,
and thnt ou Sunday night lust ho
offered a bribo of five thousand dol
lars to four members of tho Legisla
ture who wout over to Nichols, if they
would return to his fold, and showod
them tho money. Whul is most re
markable, they declined the offer.
A tank containing twenty-two thou
sand barrols of oil was struck by
lightning and sot on lira at Potrolia,
Ponsylvauin. Tho burning oil sol
flro to another tank containing twim-
ty-livo thousand barrols, and tho igni
ted fluid, running down tho creek,de
stroyed everything for a mile.
The Black Hills yielded two million
five hundred thousand dollars in gold
last year. As tho danger of being
scalped is now greatly diminished
and n judicial (list rict linn been es
tablished there, thcra will probably
bo n groat rush of minors this sum
mer. Late reports say. tho gold pans
out riohor than it did in California.
Tho iBlaud of Cuba is about the
worst taxed spot ou tho globo. Thir
ty per cent, on tho profits of all busi
ness juid industrial pursuits is tho
presout rata, and tho ngonts of tho
government fix the supposed profllts
by an arbitrary Btaudard of thuir own
—tho morohant not buing allow od

Died nt his resideuco iu Cedar Vul-
loy, Folk county, Georgia, on tho 1st
of April 1877, Brothor William Mor
timer Lnmpton, after an illUess of
only a few days.
Brothor Lnmpton was Irorn in
Christian county. Ky., November ‘21 nt
1812. He moved to Georgia in, Doc.
1851, since which time bo has boon
thoroughly identified with tho best
interests of tho state of bis adoption,
while retaining a lively affection for
the slate of his birth. On tho 10th
day of December, 1857 he was mar
ried to Mrs. Jano T. Gibson a womnn
of much loveliness of character, and
who died on tho 9th of May, 1866.
Two sons wero born unto, nud who
survive them. On tho 10th day of
May, 1807, ho married Miss S. J.
Battle who has made him n good
wifo, and who, with a littlo son sur
vives to morn his loss.
In religion, Brother Lnmpton was
an earnest Presbyterian, having en
tered tho communion of thnt church
in very onrly life, and in which he was
for a number of yonra a ruling older.
Tho oxuct I iino ho was made an elder,
wo are unable to state, but knowing
Hint ho at ono time was a representa
tive to the general assembly from
Kentucky, wo know, that lie has filled
that important oflico of tho church
mere than a qunrtor of a contury.
Habitually retired in his di sposition
his chief attractions wero to ho found
nt home in tho society and compan
ionship of wife and children, lie iviih
of tho most important elements in so
ciety and government, who occupy
middlo grounds, performing ill his
duties ns a citizen,Christian, husband,
father and friend in that unostenta
tious manner, which prevented the
right hand from knowing what tho
left, hand did.
A HE1STI.KMAH, iu its fullost HOIISC,
oourtoonn, polite, affable, he won nud
retained tho respect and esteem of
all with whom lie came in oont.net.
Like thousands of" our best oitizons
nil over the South, the war left him
in somowhnl reduced circumstances,
yet ho batl led as best lie could with
an onfcblad constitution, to the sup
port of a mu eh beloved wife anil chil
dren.
Iu closing til is imperfect sketch
your coin mil,lee beg to offer the fol
lowing resolutions and request their
uhoptioii:
Resolved. First, that in the death
of Bio. Win. Mortimer Lnmpton, the
Masonic brotherhood painfully lit-
cordt tho loss of another member, the
State a good citizen, sooialy a cul
tivated gentleman, bis wifo a devoted
luiBbaiid, and bis childron a loving
nnd indulgent, father.
Second. That this lodge wear the
usual budgo of lnouruing for I bil l .y
days.

A good man who had a largo fami
ly gave them a voty comfortable sup
port wbilu ho was in health. He
broke his leg nnd was laid up for
some weeks. As ho would ho for
souio time destitute of the menus of
grace, it was proposed to hold a pray
er mooting at his house. Tho meet
ing was held by Deacon Brown. A
loud knock at the door interrupted
tho service. A tall, lank blue trucked
youngster stood at tho door with au
ox goad in his hand nud asked to
see Doaoou Brown.
“Father could not attend this meet
ing,” he said, “but he Bent his prayers
nud tlioy are out boro iu tho eart.”
They wore brought in iu the shape
of potatoes, beef pork and corn,
Tho meeting broke up without the

New York Letter,
BY HAU.IK J. IIATTtY.
I know you nro having lovely
things now in your beautiful Stale,
flowci'H nml favors od libitum, to say
nothing of spring fruits nud vegeta
bles growing in your gardens, which
may ho hnd in our markets at exlior-
hitniit prices,for it is a fact well known
thnt the best of everything is to be
seen nnd enjoyed in this great city, it
ono has tho means; and there seems
to ho no lack of "filthy lucre," judging'
from tho display of recent "Openings.”
McCreery’s was a grand crush, much
like nn efiicial reception at Washing
ton. This house, always a rival of
Stewart’s, has quite taken tho palm in
l.hcir Bpring display.
A lovely evening toilet was of white
gros grain silk, veiled with clinging
draperies to lulle and duchess lace in
terspersed with clusters of dew-laden
snowdrops; another was of faint pink-
exquisitely trained and 11 imined with
fine side-plaitings and supplemented
with sash shoulder scarf, and over
dress of rich brocaded juuie da chain-
limy, finished with hinge of mingled
silk and chenille woven an miili'. The
sleeves of all stylish toilets nro slashed
and filled in with some diaphanous
material terminating just below the :
elbow to givo place to the 12-butlou ;
gloveH in vogue. There are a lined- j
red lovely nnd oxpressivo costumes so
complicated hh to ho wholly indiserib-1
able.
This spring the color caprice is j
Mandarine, a sort of flume-tinted yel- j
low, more becoming to bruuuttcs than I
tho paler tints prevalent.
At ltidley’s opening was palpa-;
hie n now departure in millinery. Tho
bonnets are small, elegant enprotes,
demure cottage bonnets, or low, eupe-
crowi.ed NornuindicH with close brims
finished mill miiuII plenliugsof lace or
line chiiiii-like (lower-wreaths. Long
strings of lace or ribbon nro attached
at the back slid fastened in front.
Veils bespangled with gill or st raw are
worn ns an accessory to lints of yellow
lone, for -fashion has tlm jaundice—
everything savors of this tint.
Thu city is overrun with buyers
from tho Smith and West. Hotels are
crowded. Those who como for purely
business purposes strike those nearest
the business centres; whilu those com
bining the two strike the keystone of
a climax when at the "Windsor,”
which is the hotel par a.recllcncc, and
which is patronized by the ride ol all
nations. This palatial structure, cor
ner of Pith street, and Broadffuy, of
which Now Yoikers are justly proud,
is built with brick with cuiuic.os of
blown slono and illuminated miutou
tiles. It contains 5(10 rooms, nil de
voted to tho reception of gi ests. The
interior organism is perfect in every
detail, and tho hill of fare sumptuous
as skilled hands can make it.. Tim
atmosphere is ono of exquisite refine
ment, ami it is very ilillieult. not to
agree with his Majesty, the Emperor
of Brazil and other royal sojourners
who prouoiiiico it the finest hotel iu
the world. Moreover it is patronized
by southerners to all unlimited ex
tent. The tonu is so exquisitely iu
keeping with their provincial tenden
cies, and tho facilities tiro compre
hensive in the widest sense; and so
your friends of tho "Sunny South"
uie not slow to avail themsolvos of
this opportunity of taking life at high
tide.
As for ladies’ chapeaux, tlioy are
such a oomplicati n it is very hard to
decide whore tho hat leaves off and
the woman begins. Sueli an array of
lmts, trimmed and uutrimuicd, 1 do
not believe was ever seen togullier ns
tipponroil ut Ridley's Opouing, coiner
Grand and Allen streets, to which
1(10,000 invitations wero sent out iu
this nud adjoining cities. Every stylo
known to civilization may be found in
tho millinery department of this
house. Wu would advise our lady
loaders who desire to seo all as they
really exist, to send for catalogue con
taining every purchasable article as
contained iu advertisement, and which
is a wouilcrful aid to buyers in all sec
tions, nml is sent out to all who desire
it. This house has always boon ex
tensively patronized by the South.
By a recent dispensation goods may
bo transported by mail fur one cent
per ounce, thus enabling ladies to
possess tile latest Now York ami Par
is novelties in any department of style
without incurring tho expense of a
trip to this oily for the purpose. Com
merce is more adaptive than before,
the war, and sectional barriers—are
melting in tho face of animating cu
te rpi'iso.
The looms of the Lynll Bros, are
again iu motion, turning out hundreds
of eases daily. There are no lines of
goods in our metropolitan market su
perior to the "Cliiirm,” the "Beauty.”
the “A A,” and the “Fifth Avenue,"
of tho United States Corset Compa
ny, and tho demand for this elass of
goods grows more imperative each
season. They are so symetrical, so
thoroughly easy and syslomutiea)!y
adapted it is impossible not to tako
comfort ill them to tho tallest oxtont,
since much of health aud happi
ness depends upon that freedom from
eoustrictiou which is an essential ele
ment in the construction of a woman’s
gurmeuts.
