audience. In the songs, “ Enihar- j
rnssment” and “ Looking Lark,” Miss
Hello Harris won the enthusiastic ap-
tained Iter well-deserved reputation
a9 a most pleasing artist. “Belisario,’
a trio, by Misses Mell and Mr. J.
Wilcox, was certainly most creditably
and handsomely presented, with just
that amount of embarrassment which
rendered it all the more, one of the
charms of the evening. The Ante
and violin, trios, Professor Wilcox
and Mr. Hull, flutists, and Mr. Wnrtn,
violinist, and the violin duo, were
superb renditions. Sonatina, Professor
Wilcox and Miss Russell, was nnex-
ceptionably rendered, and certainly
furnished one of the enchantments of
this musical occasion.
Unable to further specialize, we
can only add, that it was the univer
sal testimony of the choice and ap
preciative audience, that the whole
style of get np and rendition of this
Concert reflected great credit upon
the parties concerned, entitling all to
the classification of first-class artists,
Cull and Hctllr.

subscribers in Athens who are in

earnestly request all snch to call and

Law Card.
In another colnmn of onr paper
our readers will find the law card of
Messrs. Jones A Ere, of Augusta,
Ga. Both of these gentlemen stand
at the head of their profession in the
State, and any business pertaining to
law entrusted to their care will meet
with prompt attention.
We saw also, while in this house,
many other varieties of cooking
stoves, preeminent among which were
the celebrated “Iron King,” to which
a gold medal was awarded at the
Centennial, and the “ New American
Range,” a model of convenience.
All of these fine stoves are moderate
in price, and would amply repay an
examination. Mr. Wilkins or Mr.
Charle-* Htern.
The fall announcement of this
fashionable clothing emporium will
he found in our columns to-day, and
those of onr friends that want good
and cheap clothing would do well
to read his advertisement before
purchasing elsewhere. Mr Stern
has the only exclusive clothing house
in the city, and as he buys in large
lota can afford to sell cheaper clothing
than any other establishment. In
this bazaar can lie found anything
pertaining to a gentleman’s wardrobe
from a necktie to an oveicoat, and
at prices to snit all. His store is fixed'
np in elegant style and his goods are
displayed in such a manner as to show
them to his customers without the
least trouble. If von want clothing
at low figures call on Mr. Stern, or
his gentlemanly clerk, Mr. Sloman,
and we are confident that they will
be able to pleaso the most fastidious
taste.

that will never be filled. His brother,

hut little worth. These qu alities of
the man command for him the high
est veneration wherever lie is known,
and in such an enlarged field ns the
Supreme Court of the United States,
would not fail to prove the wisdom of
the President in making the appoint
ment.
It detracts none from the merits of
Judge Johnson, to say that he has
not sought this position. During all
the agitation in regard to this matter
he has remained at his post of duty,
quietly but faithfully performing his
daily work. This appointment is
urged by many of the most enlight
ened journals North and South. The
great and good work of reconciliation
in which President Haves is engaged
would he more effectually promoted
by the appointment of Judge John
son than by any qther single net
which he has it in his power ta do.
This appointment wonld not only b«
a graceful and acceptable compliment
to the South, but would at the same
time place a justice on the Supreme
Bench who would be certain to adorn
that position by his integrity and
learning, and we are, therefore, very
confident that the country would,
with great unanimity, ratify the ac
tion of the President should he see
proper to select Herschel V. Johnson,
of Georgia, to fill the vacancy in ques
tion.
Law Card.
We call our readers attention to
the law card of Mr. R. T. Nelms, of
Harmony Grove. Any business eii
trusted to his care will meet his pro

Now and Then.—It is only now
and then that such men as Hon. Alex.

Ex Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a
medicine lor the throat aud lungs, and
when they do it is pietty good evidence
that the remedy must be good for the
cure of coughs, colds aud lung afleo

testimonials are to be seen round the

merits this appellation. The whole

our time and space to describe min

The facility of execution, the mu

that paper says:
It is a well-known fact that Presi

He would not organize a partisan

do so. This fact is illustrated 1 y
in accident whieli occurred during
his last term as Governor of Ohio
Under an amendment to the Consti
