Concert. —The Concert to be giv¬
en for the purpose of raising funds
to improve the school property, will
come off on the 23rd inst.
There are some men so homely
that pretty women fly to them and
marry them for pity’s sake. Why,
a man may be so ugly that his face
actually aches from pain caused by
terrible shape, and, yet that -man
will become owner'and proprietor
of or c ot the sweetest little women
in the world.
Mr. Editor:
Economy and frugality is the se¬
cret of success. Harry Campbell,
a freedman of seventy years, living
near Taylor’s store, rented land of
J. F. Taylor for 1879 and has just
sold his crop of cotton. He plow¬
ed a steer and labored under many
adverse circumstances, losing his
wife not long since, but he has so
managed as to hold two-thirds of
bis cotton crop up to the first of
April. He has paid all claims as
well as rent growing out of the
crop raising and is now able to run
his next crop with tout little out¬
lay. How many freedmen is there
in this county that can compete
with Harry Campbell 1 We answer
none, no not one. We think this
county needs more campbells

Fort Valley Seminary Picnic Excur¬
sion.
Early last Friday morning,about
forty merry girls of the Fort Val¬
ley Female Seminerv and their es¬
teemed'toacher,Mrs. Mary Persons,
jumped into a commodious wagon,
(kindly provided by our clever and
accommodating friend, Capt. J. W.
Mathews, and for which the party
returns sincere thanks) aid sped
happily and rapidly away to the
previously chosen beautiful grounds
of Mr. Thos. Hall, two or three
miles distant from town. En route
thereto, however, the joyous band
paused at the residence of the
afore-mentioned Capt. Mathews and
after a pleasant chit-chat and re
freshing drink of cool spring wa
ter, the pleasure seekers hastened
to their destination, having been
joined, through solicitation, by the
genial host and his lady, Mrs. Mol
lie Mathews—the latter of whom
be it remembered has'charge of the
Musical Department of the Semi
nary. Arrived, all alighted in the
lovely enclosure of stately
gMe^ornamer^^*the approada
unsuad enjoyment; rambling over
the meadows and through the
woods, along winding streams and
bubbling springs—hopping, skip •
ping, jumping, running, laughing,
playing and singing, and fanned as
we were by the sweetest zephyrs
and most envigorating breezes of
the pure country air.
About noon wagathered
the sweeping boughs of the spread¬
ing shade trees, and opened out an
elegant dinner from the carefully
prepared baskets of the attending
company, and enjoyed with a hearty
relish a feast of good things; and
but one regret, which was the ab_
sence of our generous young friend
Mr. Hall, who had granted us free
access to his house and farm, and
for which we are under] manifold
obligations--(but, by the way, par¬
don our mentioning that some of
the young ladies fell completely in
love with the surroundings, and
imagined that it would be a de¬
lightful home to spend the romam
derof one’s life.) The afternoon,
as the forenoon, was spent in di¬
versified amusements—there was
no flag as to the enjoyment of the
crowd till evening shades betoken¬
ed nights approach—when they re¬
mounted the vehicles—homeward
bound, which they reached in due
time without an accident or single
unpleasant incident to mar the
days enjoyment. Casu.

Commissioner Orr got a telegram
from Nashville stating that the
Normal school at Nashville will cer¬
tainly come to Atlanta. This is
authentic, and a gpod thing it is for
the gate city which never fails td get
the best of everything.
A reporter tried to talk with Pra
fesser Orr about the victory yester¬
day, but found him on tlie eve of
leaving town,* and couldn’t g«t his
attention. This excellent gentle¬
man will return to the city on Fri¬
day and in Sunday’s Constitution
will be found an interesting account
of how Atlanta whipped the fight.—

How Watches are Made.
It will be apparent to any one, who
wilt examine a Solid Gold Watch, that
aside: from the necessary thickness for
engraving tion of and poli-hing. a large propor¬
the precious metal used, is need¬
ed only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in plaeo, and supply the neces¬
sary pins gold solidity and strength. The snr
is actually needless, so f ir as
UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In
JAMBS BOSS’ PATENT GOLD
WATCH OASES, this WASTE of precious
metal is overcome, ami the same solidi¬
ty third and strength produced at from one
to one half of the usual cost of
solid cases. This process is of the most
simply nickle nature, as follows: a pla’e of
ed composition the metal,specially adapt¬
to purpose, has two plates ot
solid gold soldered one on each Ride.
The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, nud the result is a
strip of heavy plated composition, from
&c., which the cases, backs, centres, bezels,
formers. are cut, shaped by suitable dies and
The gold in these case is suffi¬
ciently chasing, thick to admit of all kinds of
engraving and enamelling; the
engraved cases have been carried until
without worn perfectly smoofli by time and use
removing tbe gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OE SOLID
GOLD, AND WAltRANTED BY SPEC¬
IAL CERTIFICATE.

Leading principles of the Amekican Book Exchange:
I. Publish only books of real value.
II. Work upon the basis of present cost of making books, abbat one
half what it was a few years ago.
III. Sell to buyers direct, and save them the 50 to 60 per cent, coin
mission commonly nllowud to rtealers. ‘
IV. The cost of the books when made 10,000 at a time is hut a fraction
of the cost when made 500 a' a time—adopt the low price and sell the
large quantity. do carefulllv printing, and
V. Use good type, paper, etc., strong, neat
binding, but avoid all “padding,” which f.tt commonly and heavily-leaded type, spongy pa
per and gaudy binding, are so icsorted to make books ap
pear largo and line, and which greatly add to their cost, but do not add
to their vatu*.
