we infer that one or two more fine
mills are in contemplation on this
valuable property.— Dahlonega Sig-

The Thomasville Enterprise has
the following: A party of gentle
men were out on a fox hunt some
time since, and one member of the

of stock was compelled to ride a mule
i This mule was very active and clear
footed, and being a good rider he ap
prehended no trouble. He rode a
saddle with no girth and he nad put
a sheep-skin over the saddle for com
fort. All went well until they were
fairly in the chase when ihe mule be
coming frightened, jumped to one
side and then jumped back so quick
ly, that the rider and the sheepskin
remained on the mule’s back, but
the saddle was fonnd on the ground.
Hamilton Journal: We have been
i reliably informed that the North &
South Railroad is not paying expen
ses at the present, and that the State
will not allow it to incur any indebt
edness. Mr. Redd, the Superintend
ent, by judicious management, has
I been able to lay by a little money
from the winter earnings, with which
to run through the summer, but his
I surplus will soon be expended, un
less it receives a more liberal patron-*
age. The people, it is true, have but
very 7 little money, and are not able
to do much in this way 7, but they
must remember that the trains can
not run just for the fun of the thing,
and, unless they pay expenses, we
will have no train at all.
D. B. Hamilton is a candidate for
the office of Senator from the Forty
second Senatorial District, and says:
“As I would not be understood —
would make no wrong impression—
let me state that, if I am selected as
your candidate and elected, I shall
advocate in the next General Assem
bly, as I did in the las!—lst. The call
of a Constitutional Convention, and
in addition to this, I will further ad
vocate the removal of the Capital |
back to Milledgeville; 2d. I shallop- |
pose the Bureaux as unnecessary 7 , as j
burdensome in our present financial |
troubles,and as productive of no prac- j
tical good to the people; 3d. I shall |
most earnestly contend for a return to I
an economical administration of ■
State affairs, the diminution of ex- \
penditures, and the reduction of tax
ation.”
Sunday at Union Point the son of
Mr. Griffith, four years of age, was
looking over the curb of a well, fifty
fbet deep, when he lost his balance
and fell. A negro girl who was
drawing water at the time gave the
alarm. A crowd soon gathered, and
a man descended by the rope. It
being dark he could not see the boy
and accordingly called out to him,
believing, however. that the fall had
killed him, or he was drowned. To
his great surprise the boy answered
back cheerily, and on getting down
to the water he found the lad strad
dle of a plank, w r ilh one leg broken,
a shoulder blade dislocated and a ter
rible cut across the forehead. In
failing he had struck against the
bucket but had discretion enough to
grasp and stradddle the plank. The
physicians are of the opinion that he
will recover.
Athens Watchman: We learn that
J. H. Towns and a number of young
men arrested six men on Saturday
night, In the neighborhood of the
Georgia factory were several robberios
have been recently committed. We
learn tnat there were two parties,three
men each all of whom were arrested.
It is reported they had two wagons
and teams, and other property in
their posession. The wagons were
concealed in one place and the horses
in another, about a mile from the
factory and at points remote from
the public highway. The property 7
and prisoners were brought to town
Sunday morning, and the men put
in jail. We understand that they
claim to be from Green county—
four of the men named Fisher and
two of the name of Nolan. They
had aU formerly lived at the factory.
It is said that they had ropes in their
posession known to have been stolen
irom the factory, and that they sold
a quantity’ of loose cotton in this city
Saturday morning.
Miss Lilly Harrison.
The following is an extract f r om a
memorial sermon preached by Rev.
W. P. Harrison, father of Miss Lilly
Harrison, who recently committed
suicide:
lam to speak of my child. Oh,
how shall Idoit ? I knew her, when
as an infan', her J‘fe wps impe.r Ued,
and then a mother in Is a el. and her
noble daughter, came tenderly and
took the infant, weaned it. nursed it,
cherished it. My daughter loved
sis.er Hodges, and Miss Mary, with
a love that equalled that which she
felt for her own mother. Li'y loved
Columbus as her home. She could
not be 1 appy when absent from tho e
who had Men her in the 5 r arms so
tenderly, and who never ceased to
lavish upon her such affection as the
world rare'v s. es shown. My child
was with them nearly her whole
life. Last summer she was with
me, and I fchen saw her wonderful
nature, full of genius and sensibility.
Her imagination overmastered her
being. 1 did no', encourage it, but
rather repressed it. She would fol
low me to my bbrary’, search the
volumes of poetry, live : n the realm
of imagination, and sometimes when
unconscious of my presence, I would
observe her expicssion her eyes
looked away inio some unfathoma*
ble distance. It was not reverie. I
know what that is. It was some
thing that I cannot and .scribe. I was
alarmed and continued to be deep’y
concerned about her. She desired to
return here, to go home , as she ex
pressed it, and I v eluctantly yielded
to her wish. I never spoke a harsh
word to her in my life; tier sensi
biliiy was too morbid. Some un
known one had written her a letter —
God forgive the writer —which deep
ly wounded her. She imagined, too,
that trivial things were magnified to
her disadvantage. It was my’ pur
pose to send her and her younger
sisier to an institution in Virginia in
ihe fa>l, but I had not informed her
of it. She wrote me in regard to the
se’ection of a rfiece to read at the ap
proaching col 1 ege exhibition. 1 had
never received the letter. Some
days since, when I was ill, she wrote
me a few lines and urged me “to
come—come and be present at thi3
crisis of her lire.” She had magni
fied it into vast importance. On the
morning of her death she had reach
ed a point of mental excitement that
was too intense.* The world all look
ed unfriendly to hea. and, poor child,
sue lushed to the stream that lay at
her feet and leaped from the rock by
the shore as the nearest way home to
God and rest.

Seven o’clock a. m.— Boy has a
terrible toothache; can’t go to
school. Half-past nine A. M. —A so 1 -
itary figure may be seen skulking
through the streets leading to the
creek; perch and chub bite. Half
past six P. m.--Scene, woodshed;
dramatis perconce, the old man, one
trunk strap, one boy 7 . Let’s draw
the curtain.
A business man accosted a gentle
man from the country the other day
saying: ‘Why dont you trade with
me?’ ‘Because,’ said the individual
‘you have never extended an invita
tion to me to do so, I read the county
paper every week, and I have never
seen an advertisement of yours in it,
and never go lo places that I am not
inviied to.’
When in Aberdeen, Dr. Johnson
dined with a clergyman, the soup
■ eing “hotch-potch.” The lady of
the house, after having served him
once, asked if he would take some
more. The gruff and stern moralist
and outspoken social bear replied:
“Take a little more, then,” was the
immediate and appropriate reply.
*;>►
A train was carrying a clergyman
and five youths who kept scoffing
at religion and telling disagreeable
stories. The good man endured it
all, simply remarking as he got out:
“We shall meet again my children.”
“Why shall we meet again?” “Be
cause" I am a prison chaplain,” was
the reply 7 .
An absent minded editor courted
a girl and applied to her father; the
old man said: ‘Well, you want my
daughter; what sort of a settlement
will y T ou make? What will you
give her?’ ‘Give her,’ replied the
other, looking up vacantly ; ‘Oh I’ll
give her a puff.’ ‘Take her,’ replied
the father.
The whirligig of fashion may
bring around the most sudden and
dazzling changes, and the duties of
the toilet may multiply like leaves
in Vaiambrosia, but there is nothing
that will make a woman stand be
fore her looking-glass so long as a
sunburnt nose.— Brooklpn Argus.
This whole life is but one great
school. From the cradle to the grave
we are schoolars. The voices of those
we love, the wisdom of past age, and
our own experience are our teachers.
Affliction gives us dicipline. The
spirit of departed saints whisper to
us, “come up higher.”

mHE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND BAPTIST
1 appeals to the affection as well as to the
interest of every member of the great Baptist
lamily in Georgia. Every Baptist in the South
feels a just pride in his or her denominational
paper, and should use every possible means to
induce non-subscribing Baptists to take this
THE BEST RELIGIOUS FAMILY PAPI R
IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
In size, mechanical execution and complete
ness it is UNSURPASSED.
Its Editorial StafT is composed of some of the
most eminent writers in the Denomination.
it has u large corps of uaid Contributors and
Correspondents.
It is me Denominational Organ of Georgia Baptists,
endorsed by tlieir Conventions and urgently
recommended to the exclusive favor and
patronage of the Denomination iu Georgia.
Therefore we urge and earnestly request ev
ery Baptist in Georgia to subscribe for The In
dex. Every Pastor should see to it that his
membership is supplied with the paper.
Every Baptist in Georgia should make
it his duty to subscribe for and support; the
State Organ of his Denomination.
See Its Peculiar Merits anil Aflvantages,
1. Ax a Denominational Organ . In it are
found discussed all topics and subjects vital to
the Christianity of the age, and especially to
us as Baptists. No paper evidences more wis
dom in discussing the “signs of the times.” It
does not sound the alarm alter errorists have
done their vork.
2 The I.vt ex contains all the latest Church
intelligence, revival and otherwise. All facts
pertaining to the progress and prosperity of
our Zion, that can be gathered from the press
and correspondence, are to bo found in its col
umns.
3. The Spirit of the Press of all Denomina
tions touching subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds of
the age think, as to the subjects indicated, as
well as of those who edit and control the paper.
4. “Our Pulpit” is another Important fea
ture. Each issue contains a carefully prepared
sermon, which, in itself, is worth the subscrip
tion price of tiie paper.
5. All information relating to Husbandry—
the laboring class or Granges—is carefully ma
nipulated for your benefit.
6. The wants of your children are not neg
lected. Selections are made from the best Sab
bath school and children’s papers, making
tins department alike instructive and enter
taining.
7. From the secular press is gleaned the
latest political intelligence, national and in
ternational.
These are some of the peculiar merits of The
Index. Now, as to its advantages:
•• Aou have, combined, the theological, lit
erary, Sabbath school, political ar.d agricultu
ral in our paper, all for Three Dollars.
2. The pnper is centrally and eligibly located
for gathering all intelligence pertaining toour
Southern Zion.
3. Its publishers have their own publication
house—hence the perminency of the enterprise.
Remember these advantages as well as mer
its. Do not let this opportunity pass to secure
he paper you need.

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
Nashville, Tennessee.
THE centralization of power in Washington,
and the control of currupt combinations
of the day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to fleece the people of
their hard earnings, has justly excited the pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paying billions
of debt in gold, at a period of general stagna
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the government into an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce tlte free people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up of the
few at the expense of the many; the excessive
inequalities of burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizens, all of whom arc
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in the general prosti .i on of business af
ford just cause for alarm. They afford also a
just cause for a demand tor a • hnnge in the
National administration ui public affairs,
it is therefore the duty of Die Democracy,
which iu its purity i> Die representative amt
defender of the people, ami of Die people
themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the growing evils which threaten to
overwhelm ~11 in common ruin. There must
be a change oi the National administration
before tlasre is either safety or real reform.
This is the vitalqucstion betore the people.
The American is on the side of the people
and ot change. *lt has its views and .".presses
them from dav to day, and while doing so
frankly and honestly, it also fairly and as
fully as its space will "permit, giv.es the views
and arguments of the other side. U claims
nothing outside of tiie interests of the people,
and seeks only to inform them truthfully of
all matters in which they themselves are
mostly concerned.
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of a Presidential campaign of the greatest
moment to the people, it behooves the Con
servative and Democratic, masses of this sec
tion to supply themselves, in time, with polit
ical news, facts and general political informa
tion lmm the nearest central distributing
point. THE American - , issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, and supplying as well, much
of the territoryof Kentucky, Georgia and Ala
bama, is tin- only Daily Democratic journal
published within a radius of more than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there are nearly
ifnot quite a million of people. It furnishes
to its readers, at heavy expense, the full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Press, including the Congresilosal
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in which the Democrats, lor the
first time since the war, have a majority in the
Lower Douse and nearly half tiie members of
the Senate.
The season is rapidly approaehing and near
at hand when will he discussed political issues
affec ting the National, and State elections of
1870. The Presidential election overshadows
all others in its importance at ibis time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may be hard, tiie very
occasion of hard times is traceable to sources
with which the people ought to be acquainted,
.nidot which i: is the mission of the Ameri
can to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest to ask the attention of
the masses of the people in its columns, which
will he always lull and reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrats and Conservatives ofTeiines
see and States adjacent, ft> Help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness,
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of the Government itself in the
future. The American has undeviatingly
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of
Die rights of the States, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges itself anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reform and the
restoratii nof the old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard of oilicial honor.
By a law ol Congress which went into effect
on the first of January, 1875, the publishers of
daily newspapers are required at the time of
mailing, to prepay all postage, which relieves
the subscriber ot the payment of postage at
the office of delivery. Under this law the post
age will be less than the previous law. The
postage on the Daily will be B 0 cents instead of
$1.20, on Die Wceklv, 15 cents instead of 20
cents: and on the Semi-weekly 20 cents instead
of 40 cents. Our subscription prices will,
therefore, include the postage, and will be as
follows, by mail, payable in advance :
Daily, one year, sio.oo, six months $5.30, three

year, $4.20, six months $2.10, three months $1.05.

year in which an Opposition House of Repre
sentatives, the first since the war, will he in
power at Washington; and the year of a twen
ty-third election of a President of the United
States. All of these events arc sure to be ol
great interest and importance, especially the
two latter, and all of them and everything
connected with them will he freely and‘fresh
ly reported and expounded in TIIE SUN.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up tiie line of inquiry opened years ago
by THE SUN, will sternly and diligently in
vestigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration; and will, it is. o be
hoped, lay the foundation for anew and better
period in our national history. Of all lliis
Til E SUN will contain complete and accurate
accounts, furnishing its readcss with early
and trustworthy information these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, with
the preparations for it, will be memorable as
deciding upon Grant’s aspirations for a third
term of po*vair and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall be the party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concerning
all these subjects, those who read THE SUN
will have the constant means of being thor
oughly well informed.
THE WEEKLY SUN, which has attained a
circulation ot over eighty thousand copies, al
ready has its readers in every State and Terri
tory, and wc trust that tiie year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. It will continue to he
a thorough newspaper. All the general news
of the day will he found in it, condensed when
unimportant, at ful' length when ot moment;
and always, we trust, treated in a clear, inter
esting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make THE WEEKLY SUN
the best lamily newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales, poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily - edition.
The agricultural department especially is one
of its prominent features. The fashions are
also regularly reported in its columns, and so
are the markets of every kind.
