The Clement Attachment.
This is a machine employed in the con
verting of raw cotton into yarns. It is
attracting attention from the farmers and
has been in many plaoes adopted by them.
Where it has been used the results are satis
factory and it is only a question of time
when it will be operated in every oommuni
ty. It or some-like.machinery is a necessity
with us. Tbs production of ootton alone
is attended with too much cost for any
margin of profits at the present prices and
it is only by enbanoeing its valoe with less
additional cost that the best results oan be
attained. The farmer now obtains npon an
overage fifty dollars per bele for his ootton.
By the work of this machine it is olaimed
he oan be made to realize one hundred
dollars per bale. The expenses of running
are comparatively small from the fact that
only one skilled maobineist is necessary
while the others may consist of women and
children who are incompetent to labor in
the field.

, Obituary.
Mrs. Permelia Seats did on the 19th
instant at the house of her daughter Mrs.
F. C. Callier, near Geneva, Talbot county,
Ga. She was born in E bert ooonty 5h of
January 1806- She was one of the early
settlers of Hamilton and was buried there
by the side of tbe remains of her deceased
husband, Willis Seats. She was a consist
ent member of the Baptist cbnreh, and an
industrious kind neighbor. Struggling hard
to ednente her .children, and beaut fy end
adorn her home, devoting much time to the
cultivation of flowers and shrubbery. Many
of her old friend* yet live in Hamilton snd
extend their sympatic* to her bereaved
nehildren. Her e>n Thom-s J. Be*ts attend
ed her remains to Hamilton, where m*ny
of the old cjtizins s**isted in hr burial
s*rt ce wnioh conducted by R -V. 8. T.
Fuller.
A Bad Habit.
There is an evil habit grown up among
us which we believe when mentioned, will
bo amended. We refer to the habit of
tardiness. At ohotoh, st Sabbath school,
at choir practice, parties and social gather
ings, there is a tendency to be late. It is
not indioativs of a want of respect, but is
simply a habit of putting off for fear per
haps, of getting there too early and then
being bored by having to await the arrival
of others. If we will consider however, the
vexation, trouble, and discouragement, that
such a course is sure to produue, we
would take care to be more prompt. For
example, after tbc preacher has kelected his
text, and when be would bend bis whole
mind npon the subject and when it is
essential to a proper appreciation of the
sermon that the congregation should give
espeoial bearing, for the doors to be thrown
opened and two or three new-oomers to
stalk up the aisles, is exceedingly annoying.
It may be that some practioe this with a
view of being fashionable, and so it may be,
but is not of the kind that distinguish the
most thorough-bred end oultored. True
etiq ette rather consists in conforming to
the rules of any place we may attend. Of
being as little oonspiouous as possible, and
by pLying the role of agreeable, in being
prompt, attentive aDd gentle. This may
apply to the social gatherings as well as
church, for it ia in bad taste to be late any
where.
Vick’s Floral Guide.
Of the many Guides and seed and Plant
Catalogues sent out by our Seedsmen and
Nurserymen, and that are doing so much
to inform tbe people and beautify and en
rich our oountry, none are so beautiful none
so instructive ns Vick’s Floral Guide. I*B
paper is tbe cbeioest, its illustrations band
some, and given by tbe hundred, while its
Colored Plate is a gem. This work, al
though oosting but 10 cents, is handsome
enough for a Gift Book, or a place on tbe

The Election Tie.
Just as we were congratulating ourselves
that the electfin- wcre-all over, we were
snrpri-ed by the aiTnonncement that the
Governor hadorder.d an election to he held
in tbi* county for Tax Receiver, tbe vote
for Messrs Bullock and Pritchard being de
clared a tie. Tbe managers in consolida
ting the vote at this place, made a miscount
in the vote potting down tbe vote of
Mnj. Bmloefc a: 61 instead of 151. Tbe mis
tuke led to a re-count st Atlanta where two
other mistakes were discovered, both in fa
vor of M-j. Bnllock. At Wbitesville Mr
Pritchard received three votes for Collector
which were coonted for him as Receiver.
This left M#j. Bnllock one vote behind and
this was found on tbe tally sheet of a pre
oinet where tbe report was circulated that
be had oome down, and tbe vote was not
counted by tbe managers is tbsir general
summary. Under these facta the Govern
or has ordered another eleotion, and from
the interst manifested by friends of the
candidates we shall have a lively race.
Judge Williams baa ordered the election for
the 15th of February.

SI A YEAR.
THE SUN FOR 1881.
Everybody reads Tbe Sun. In the edi
tions of this newspaper throughout the year
to come everybody will fiud:
I. All the world's newr, to presented that
the reader will get the grei test amount oi in
formation with the least unprofitable ex:*en
diture of time and eyesight. The Sun long
ago discovered the golden mean between re
dundant fulness and unsatisfactory brevity.
11. Much of that sort of newt which de
pends less upon its leoogiiUrd importance
than upon its Interest to mankind. From
morning to n oruing The Sun prints a con
tinued story of the lives ot real men and wo
men, and of their deeds, plana, loves, hates,
and troubles. This story is more varld and
more interesting than any romance than wan
ever devised.
111. Good writing in every column, and
freshness, originality, accuracy, and decor
um in the treatment of every subject.
IV. Honest comment. The Bun's habit hi
to speak out about men and things.
V. Equal candor in dealing with each po
litical party, and equal readiness to commend
what is praise worthy oi to rebuke what is
blsmnblu in Democrat or Republican.
VI. Absolute iude[<endence of partisan or
sraniaatsons, but unwavering loyally to true
tk'iuocmtie principles. Tne Bun believsa
that tbe Government which the l.'oniUtutiou
gives un Is a good one to keep. Its notiou of
dntv is to resist to its utmost power the ef
forts of men tn the Republican party to act
up another form or government In place of
that which exists The year 1881 and the
years iuimediatly following will probably de
cide tins supremely important contest. Tbe
Nun believes that the victory will be with
the people as against tbe Rings for monopoly
the Rings for plunder, aud the Rings for im
pel ial power.
