Letter From Hart County.
Hartwell, March 24, 1877.
Dear Georgian—This week is
one of unusual interest in our place,
and perhaps a short--sketch of inci
dents would not be unappreciated by
your readers;
The Spring term of Hart Superior
Court convened last Monday. His
Honor, Judge Pottle, wears the judi
cial ermine with grace and dignity,
and holds the scales of justice at
equipoise. His re-appointment as
Judge of the Northern Circuit for
the next eight years—notwithstand
ing, he had such a pure, able and up
right lawyer as Col. Robert Hester
as an opponent—we think, has given
general satisfaction to bar and people.
The ne v Solicitor, Gen. Seaborn
Reese, of Sparta, is a high-toned law
yer, and discharges the duties incum
bent on the office, with honor to him
self and safety to the State. In
addition to the local bar, we notice
in attendance the following visiting
members; Hester, Edwards, Shan
non, Worley, Osborne and Carpenter,
ofElberton’; Lumpkin and Mathews,
of Lexington; Camp, of Carnesvillc.
Up to the present time, the follow
ing cases have been disposed of:
Mrs. E H. Carters vs. M. Johnson:
Action for slander. Verdict for
plaintiff for two hundred dollars.
J. M. Bradley vs. James Allen. An-
A Photographic Revolution.
After months of preparation and
experimenting, Athens’ photo-artist,
Mr Davis, has perfected t&e varion* peak;it> V—fiar -plaintiff—The
processes for producing photographs
in c’rbon The processes are em
braced in a series of patents which
Mr. Davis has secured. The pict ures
are marvels of beauty—far superior
to the ordinary photographs—and
have the merit of absolute penna>-
nency, a fact which will he hailed
with delight by tlie patrons of pho
tography. Mr. Davis is limiring in
his efforts to give Athens the brat
the world produces in lri$ art, and-
we bespeak for him that patronage
his merits deserve.
Is it possible, that one will be so
foolish to suffer from Catarrh, Cold

Throat, when ,by this new antiseptic

by mail, only 60 cts. Dr. J. H. Mc
Lean, 814 Chestnut, St. Louis, Mo.

Tlie Convention.
Mr. Editor—I will not discuss the
question of “Convention or No Con
vention.” My private opinion of
that is -known and would have
slight weight on the public mind.
But my object in this communication
is to say that the character of the
men who are to compose that Con-
stitntid- al Convention, is of more
importance than the Convention itself
The framing or reframing the funda
mental laws of the State should be
committed to the wise, the prudent,
the patriotic, the sober, the thought
ful men of the State. Men who aie
not office seekers—men who would
go into such a convention without a
thought of self, hut with pure hearts
and minds, and a single desire to
advance the honor ’ of the State and
the liest interests of the people.
I. believe we have several men in
onr county who would fill the almve
bill of qnnlifications, and amongst
them. I beg leave respectfully to
suggest tlie name of our fellow-citizen,
building, for the accommodation of
all concerned. They also have an
office at tlie new Court-House.
—Col. P. A. Stovall lias so far
rec-vered from liis recent illness
as to lie able to visit his relatives in
this city. He gave us a Pleasant
call during his stay in Athens, and
his numerous friends will be glad to
learn that he will push his racy quill,
as heretofore, for the (/fironiclc and
Constitutionalist.
—The most popular song of the
day is “ Gathering Shells from the
Sea Shore,” composed by Will L.
Thompson. Lyon & Healv, of Chi
cago, have just given an order for
5,000 copies, and other dealers are
ordering it by the thousand.
—Sapp & Bridye are the tonso- j Mn J or Marcel,U8 Stnn,e - V * who win
rial artists of Northeast Georgia. Be- l>">bably be more surprised to see
this announcement than any other
man in our communitv.
sides being urbane and genteel in
deportment, they keep sharp razors,
clean linen, and do their work in a
manner satisfactory to all that favor
them with a call. .
—Last Sabbath was Palm Sunday,
so-called from the rite observed in
the Catholic Church of blessing and
distributing palm or olive branches,
in oommemoration of what the Jews
did when Jesus entered Jerusalem
the Sunday before he was crucified.

sulted in bis conviction and sentence

Besides the foregoing several certio-
rajis and a few misdemeanors were
disposed of. The docket of the
court is pretty full, the business of
court having accumulated in conse
quence of the celebrated- Sadler case
which went to the Supreme Court
twice. Court will doubtless laRt the
entire week, and all the business will
not be dispatched at that.
On Tuesday raonrucr. Messrs. Hiram
David and Lee Lu r were exam
ined in open court. •» >1 after a very
creditable exaniin*ti<>u, were admit
ted to the bar.
We bad the pleasure of meeting
this week, Capt. J. T. McCarty, of
the Elberton Gazette, and Dr. Joel
L. Turner, of your city. We re
gretted to give the Dr. up, but classic
Athens allured him away.
To-day, several misdemeanors have
been disposed of.
Hartwell is gradually improving
and becoming more attractive each
day. New buildings are being built,
a large, flourishing school, under the
auspices of Mr. and Mrs. Looney, is
in operation, and last, but not least,
w# have a minstrel troupe.
Your genial, clever, high-toned
gentlemanly agent, Capt. Ritch, we
think, has been doing - effective ser
vice here this week in behalf of the
Georgian.
Rev. Thomas Crymes, of Cames-
ville, delivered a very excellent ad
dress, on last Tuesday, in the Court
House, in behalf a Constitutional
Convention. Onr people, we think,
are very decidedly in favor of tho
Convention, and will give tho mens-
-e a very handsome majority at the
clccritui. Nqt candidates from Hart
are **ut yet, but we anticipate quite
number of “Richmonds” erelong.
With kind wishes for the future
progress of the Georgian, and con
gratnlations to the people of the
Ninth Congressional District for the
gallant triumph of the organized
Democracy, we remain, -... M.
