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 Tho troops littvo boon withdrawn from Louisiana, sod it is now Bottled Nichols is tho Governor Latest dispatches indicate that, the war io Europe is to be a big Bffiiir, sod will not soon be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 either to oxhibitbis books oiBWonr to tho auiouut.

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.

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 lien edictiou. -Spurgeon.

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.
