CITY MILLS.
Aa our readers have seen in our
ftlvertis’ing columns, Mr. \V. C. Kemp, an
enterprising citizen of Athens, has leased
the City Mills and will henceforth be able to
furnish to his patrons in Northeast Georgia
fine family flour, meal and bran warranted
to give satisfaction in every way. It will
doubtless be a source of great convenience
to our country friends to avail themselves
thus easily of having their grain ground up
in first class style for their use and in that,

THE MILL
itself situated upon the opposite side of the
river - from the Athens factory, is a very
compact and nice looking structure and
though small is amply fitted up with the
necessary machinery and storage for doing
a first class milling business. Its capacity
is 300 bushels of wheat and 200 of corn, per
diem. The motive power derived from two
turbine wheels is ample and the two pair of
buhr stones for grinding wheat, with the coin
rock whiz away at their work to the tune of
280 revolutions per minute. The grain
when first deposited into the hopper and
weighed then and there upon a Fairbanks
scales, by withdrawing a staveiseasily lower-
ered into a conveyer, or a horizontal screw-
like apparatus, which, shoves it gradually
along to an elevator which if the grain be
wheat carries it to a smutter and this cleans
it of dirt and trash, finally depositing it di
rectly into the mill proper to lie ground.
If, however, the grain be corn it is elevated
into fan and screen, which exercise the same
functions. This smutter and fan are in the
third story. The grain is now iu the mill
where the* buhr stones or corn rock rapidly
do the work,and 'elevate the ground mass
into a holt when the fine flour being separa
ted is again bolted, and so on until at the
conclusion of the processes; giving fine flour,
coarse, or lower brands, fine shorts, coarse,
fine and coarse bran etc. From the bolting
machine, which isa horizontal revolving prism
covered with fine gauze work the flour
of whatever grade desired, is conveyed to the
packing box, a very fine and convenient ar
rangement easily manipulated by one man ;
and by the rapid adjustment of the mouth
piece to the desired gauge, Mr. Kemp
showed us that 25, 50 and 100 lbs. sacks
together with the 19G lbs. barrel could lie
quickly filled, packed and nt the same time
weighed. The sacks are very neatly made,
nicely branded and make about ns good a
show, when well arranged, as any flour par
cels we have ever seen. His brands arc
“ Snow-Flake.” “ White Rose,” “ Family
and Double Extra,” nil of which are giving
ample satisfaction. In fact, his finest flour
is as white and sweet as any brought into
this market. The process for the meal is
essentially the same, differing only in a few
minor particulars; for instance when lieing
carried through a conveyer, the simple
withdrawal of a jieg will carry it immediate
ly down ready for packing: while if allowed
to flow on uninterrupted it will lie bolted
before being ready for use. The former
is unbolted and the latter bolted meal. The
machinery of this mill is all complete and
simple, easily managed by Mr. Kemp who
seems to be at home in every department.
We are indebted to this gentleman for his
kind attention in showing us over the mill
and are confident that through a persistent
and judicious system of advertising and a
continuation of his present fine brands of
flour that his enterprise will be amply re
warded and that the City Mills will become
one of the flouring intitutions of the State.

Court convened in the new Court-IIouse,
which has been sufficiently completed for
that purpose. Since our complete description
of this excellent edifice given to our readers
in our issue of the 11th ult., the window
sashes have been fitter! in, the blinds of fine
Michigan white pine have been bung, most
of the doors adjusted and the court room
generally fitted out. The railings around
the jury boxes and bar are substantial and
ornamental, while the floor is covered with
cocoa-matting giving the room a neat cozy
appearance. Fifty-two white benches bor
dereil with red are placed in the lobby,
seating over three hundred spectators. The
remaining apartments will be fitted up ns early

ly full and the probabilities are that this
session will be prolongad over into next
week. * ' -

Oconee Fair Association.
We call the attention of the fanners and
mechanics of Northeast Georgia to the fact
that the Georgia State Agricultural Society
will not bold its annual Fair either iu
Macon or Atlanta, for 187G.
This action of the recent Convention at
Gainesville, leaves the field entirely open
to the District Fairs throughout onr State.
We earnestly appeal to the farmers and
mechanics of Northeast Georgia to send ns,
for exhibition, the fruits of their husbandry,
tiie products of their industry, and the
specimens of their handiwork. As a stim
ulus to your exertions, our Premium Bist
lias been increased to nearly two thousand
dollars.

LEAP YEAR PARTY.
For years have we heard of the clamors
for womans’ rights, hut not -until Monday
night last, did we have a practical demon
stration of its workings. All day Monday
the fair denizens of oar town were assembled
together in Secret Session for the purpose of
invoking propitious anguries and determin
ing by ballot, who should be the “ victims ”
when-they should throw off^tbe shackling
Conventionalities which society casts around
them, and stand forth in that state of unfet
tered liberty to which “Nature and Nature’s
God” entitle them. While this “grand cau
cus” was being held, eager .and expectant
3 were gathered together in groups
around the Public Square, manifesting as
much interest to learn the proceedings of
said “ August tribunal ’’ as they did a few
weeks ago, to hear the result of the St. Louis
Convention. And finally its deliberations
were ended and each and all of the anxious
swain, aforesaid were made the happy recip
ients of invitations from the fair oues to
escort them lo s leap year party to be hold
at Mr. W.Y. Holland’s, At an early hour a
large and brilliant assembly had convened
All nature seemed propitious. The lull
moon riding in the heavens, sent forth t
silvery sheen on high lending joy and glad'
ness to the hour while the far off dispersing
clouds sent forth their last dying rautterings
a bright symbol of melaucholy,and care driv
en away and the bright sunshine of happi
ness beaming in all the young hearts there as
sembled. And as the fair promenaders
walked hither and forth across the broad
piazza they seemed to be ifot of earth
but fairy spirits sent from the Celestial
Spheres. Many, doubtless, were the words of
affection, that fell from the lips of the fair
sex, and many were the merry peals of
laughter, and glad echoes of joy that broke
upon the quiet stillness of the gentle night
air and weut quivering up to Heaven. At
a late hour the party dispersed and your cor
respondent sought his “ little bed ” to dream
of love, moonlight, leap year partie3, and
dark-eyed maidens.
REV. HENRY TYLER.
This able divine has been confined to
his home, sick for several weeks passed. A
few evenings since, we drove out to see him;
we found the venerable clergyman very
cheerful, notwithstanding his severe illness.
He conversed with a great deal of earnest
ness; his towering intellect still soars aloft,
although disease renders prostrate the physi
cal frame. The many friends of Mr. T.
sympathize with him in his affliction and
trust that he may soon be restored to
health and streghth.

THE ATHENS DISTRICT CON
FERENCE.
The Conference of the Athens District
(Methodist) met in the Methodist Church,
at Union Point, Georgia, Thursday morn
ing, August 10th instant. In the absence
of the Bishop, Rev. Thomas F. Pierce, the
Presiding Elder, presided. Rev. D. B.
Anderson was elected Clerk.
The delegation was quite full, seventy
or seventy-five being present. There were
a large number of lay delegates, and we
were glad to see them take an active part
in the business of the Conference. The
session was entirely harmonious, and
marked with Christian fraternity, one to
wards another, throughout.
The reports from the different works
were encouraging, showing, zeal in the
work and considerable spirituality in the
Churches. The entire work seems to be in
earnest in the cause of Sunday Schools, and
the reports show them to be in a very
promising condition. Considering the ex
treme hardtess of the times and the
scarcity of money, the financial reports are
satisfactory. The reports from their mis
sion work in their own hands, is encour
aging. Quite a number of distinguished
prcaeliers were in attendance. Prominent
among them are Bros. Haygood, Borin
Mann, Potter and Williams.
The delegation have been very kindly
entertained by the community without re
gard to denomination, and from the Chris
tian characters, gentlemanly bearing and
social qualities of the delegation, they leave
a splendid impression behind them.— Const.
the
the Dairy, the Apiary, the Piggery, the
Fish Pond, and Stock| Farm, with all the
arts and industries of the most advanced
civilization fully represented in our District
Exposition, 17th October next. Come one,
com all! and “ reckon” upon a genuine,
Athenian welcome.
Personal.
Wc arc pleased to welcome home onr most
excellent townsmen Messrs. Thomas A.
Bailey and J. D. Garrison, who, have been
“ doing ” the great Centennial display at
Philadelphia. Perhaps no persons will visit
this worlds show who can more satisfactorily
appreciate the merits thereof, than these two
gentlemen. Both (killed in the scientific
arts and with a practical experience which
enables them to see the beauty of science in
its useful applications, no doubt their rounds,
at the worlds great exhibition will not only
prove a source of life time gratification
to them, but will be felt and seen in the
manly vocations which now engage their at
tention. As true Americans they are very
enthusiastic over the American part of the
Centennial and evidently felt quite proud,
that they trod their native soil. When
home Influences have “kinder simmered”
these Centennial, “»ky-laikers” down, we hope
to be able to give our readers some what of
their valuable observations at the Centennial
Bonanza,

The result of the nominating Convention
has given universal satisfaction. We have
not as yet met a single voter who refuses his
most earnest and cordial support. Those
who have hitherto been opposed to nomina
tions and have declared that they would
never support a nominee have gracefully
fallen into ranks and are bearing the old
Democratic standard to a brilliant victory
next October. The action of the convention
in the nomination of Mr. J. B. Benson was
a most happy one and be has discharged a
patriotic dutv in yielding to the call of the
people—a call which was as spontaneous ns
it was united aud which was indispensable’in
order to harmonize the Democratic party
and unite in solid phalanx all whodesire to
see our county well represented. Mr. B. has
represented the 31st district of Georgia as State
Senator with most eminent satisfaction to the
constituency that elected him, and when
elected representative, as he is sure to be by
an overwhelming majority and in all proba.
bility unanimous vote, our county will have
• sentinel on the watchtowcr that will guard
with vigilance and protect with care her
dearest interests.

Kerosene Lamps.
There are two principal causes for the
explosion of kerosene lamps. First in dan
ger, is the accidental upsetting and break
ing of lighted lamps, and the consequent
taking fire and explosion of the oil. The
second cause is the habit of blowing down
the chimney for the purpose of extinguish-
ing the light. During the year 1875, there
were over twenty-live millions of dollars
worth of property destroyed in the United
States, by explosions caused by the up
setting, breaking and taking fire of keros
sene lamps, and a loss of life amounting to
over 1,250 men, women and children—
mostly of the two latter. During the same
year, upwards of ten millions of dollars
worth of property, and several hundred
lives were lost by explosions of kerosene
lamps, which were caused b^ lhc reckless,
dangerous, and almost universal habit of
blowing down the chimney for the purpose
of extinguishing the light. What a fear
ful record l Thirty-five millions of dollars
worth of property destroyed, and over 1,600
lives lost, to say nothing of those persons
who, after terrible suffering, have at last
recovered, but disfigured for life. Now,
with these facts before you, our advice is
to call at once on E. L. Burbank, and have
yonr lamps fitted up with the new, patent
burners, which will render them perfectly
safe from all explosions. Try thia at once;
do not delay. Orders left at J. C. Wilkin’s
store, will be promptly attended to.
