THE REASON WHY
J. H. HUGGINS
Sells goods cheaper now, is because he
has adopted the
CASH SYSTEM!
Ihe ready cash enables him to buy goods very
low, and consequently he is offering to the public
every thing in his line, such as
All kinds of Crockery and Glass-ware, Lamps,
Chandeliers , Farmers' Lanterns, Kerosene
Od , at wholesale and retail ; Family and
Fancy Groceries, Dry Goods, Boots ,
Shoes , Hats , Saddles, Harness
and Leather.
And also a large stock of I.Ufl?, both for build
ing and fertilizing purposes, all very low for the
CA SH.
When you go to Athens don’t forget to call on
J. H. HUGGINS. If you want KEROSENE OIL, at
wholesale or retail, he will supply you at the low
est price. If you want CROCKERY and GLASS
" ARE, there’s the place to get it. If you want
TOBACCO , FLO Fit, BACON , LARD, SU

you will find it. If you want LIME, for building

Drinking from a Lady’s Shoe.
About a centur3 r ago it was no uncommon
practice on the part of fast men to drink
bumpers to the health of a lady out of her
shoe. The Earl of Dork, in an amusing
paper in the Connoisseur, relates an incident
of this kind, and to carry the compliment
still further, he states that the shoe was
ordered to be dressed and served for supper.
The cook set himself serioulsy to work upon
it, he pulled the upper (which was of fine
damask) into fine shreds, and tossed them
up in a ragout, minced the soles, fried them
in batter, and placed them round the dish
for garnish. The company testified their
affection for the lodv by eating heartily of
the exquisite impromptu. AYithin the last
score of years, the writer was present at a
dinner of Irish squires, when the health of a
beautiful girl, whose foot was as pretty as
her face, was drunk in champagne from one
of her satin shoes which an admirer of the
lady had contrived to obtain possession of.
The elopement of a man with his mother
in-law is reported from Lansing, Michigan.
Thus does anew danger threaten connubial
happiness.

Messrs. Barnes, Smith and Lester received
seven of the nine votes cast, and are, there
fore. elected delegates from the State at
Under the rule which has been adopted the
Executive Committee of the State will have
to select the other delegate, as Mr. Wofford
lacks one vote of having a majority. We
presume, however, the committee will not
hesitate to elect him, as he received two votes
more than either Mr. Hawkins or Mr. Mcln
tyre, his foremost competitors. 'The commit
tee will also have to select all of the alter
nates, as no candidate for this position seems
to have received more than two votes.

FIPThe President has almost entirely re

neuralgia.” Zaoh. Chandler, in congratulat

fully observed :
“If your Excellency should have a return
of the malady, I think it would be advisable
to give it another name. ‘Periodical neu

lic reception again.”
“Why not?'* asked the President.
“Well,” said Zach, “the people might think

Tile girls read this advertisement with de

“Just the thing I wanted !” exclaims one
girl. “Mv skin is so sallow that, really I
am ashamed of it!”
Now, it isn’t one of our belles of the ave
nue that makes the above remark. No, in
deed, for we happen to know more than one
girl who is willing to risk her last fifty cents
on her complexion.
Girls, turn your eyes from that advertise
ment, close your purse upon your fifty cents,
tor, depend upon our word, you'll find better
use for it.
Do you want to be beautiful, girls? A
silly question, truly ! As if we didn’t know
every girl would like to be beautiful.
M ell, in the first place, throw all j T onr
Creme Pearl and al! other cosmetics to the
dogs. Ol course no girl can make herself
really handsome. That is, she can not alter
the cast of her features—she cannot make
her month any smaller, nor can she take the
heavenward turn out of her nose; but she
can have a clear complexion, cherry lips, and
sparkling eyes—and possessing these attrac
tions, no girl would be considered plain look
ing.
Ihe preliminary step toward beauty and
its preservation is early rising. One half
hour in the early air and sunshine is better
lor your complexion than all the cosmetics
and double-distilled waters that were ever
bottled.
Ihe diet has a great deal to do with the
complexion. A young lady inav be very
careful about what she eats] but if she gets
up in the morning, slips into her wrapper
and slippers, sprinkles her face with water,
and hurries down to her breakfast, all her
care about her diet goes for naught—her
complexion will have a sallow, sickly hue.
It was believed in the last century that
May-day imparted a bloom to the complexion,
and the belles rose with the lark, and were
to be seen out among the buttercups and
daisies wetting their handkerchiefs in the
grass and applying them to their faces.
Of course their complexion bloomed but
no thanks to the May dew, but to the early
air and sunshine.
There is nothing like plenty of soap and
water and morning air, for the complexion.
The morning air never gives anybody cold
if they are properly clothed.
AN ho has not felt new life in stepping out of
the heated sleeping aprtment into the morn
ing sunshine ?
“Oh ! I have no time to take a walk in the
morning,’’ is the general cry.
My dears, you must take time. Go to bed
an hour or a half hour earlier at night and
you will have exactly that much time to spare
in the morning.
And we are sure that perfect health, high
spirits, a good appetite, a clear complexion,
cherry lips, and sparkling e}'es, will more
than repay any pleasure you may lose iu the
evening by going to bed a little earlier.
Again, how often do we hear girls com
plaining that they can eat nothing in the
morning—that all they can take is a cup of
cotl’ee or tea.
Indeed, who can wonder at it, when they
walk from their bed to the breakfast table.
Now a cup of tea or coffee may do for the
belle who lolls on the sola, reading a novel,
until lunch is ready ; but for you, girls, who
have to do a hard day’s work, something
more substantial is required. So if you do
not care anything about your complexion,
do, for your health's sake, take a ran out in
the morning air, for there is nothing like it
for sharpening the appetite.
ISfTsaac Randolph, the negro who murder
ed his w.fe at New Haven in the spring of
1*56, gives notice that he will apply to the
next Legislature for a release from State
Prison, to which lie was sentenced for life.—
The murder created a great sensation, and
the story of it is very interesting. He killed
the woman with a wash-board during a quar
rel. and probably did not intend to strike a
fatal blow. After the murder Randolph cut
the body up and buried it iu his garden, plant
ing corn and beans over the spot. Several
days after Robert Coe, the father of the mis-
sing woman, related with great impressive
ness the particulars of a dream which he had
had on three successive nights. He said that
Mary' Ann came to him crawling on her hands,
and that when lie asked her why she did not
walk, she replied that she could not, for her
legs had been cut off. Each night she ap
peared to him on the borders of a small brook
which then ran at the foot of the garden. At
last the garden was examined, and the body
was found.
A Dream Saves a Man’s Life. —A singu
lar fulfillment of a dream occurred at Nevada
City recently. The wife of Mr. Scott, one of
the owners of the Last Chance mine, had a
dream on the night previous that her husband
was killed by having his head struck by a
rock in the mine, and when the signal was
given that a blast was to be fired, he and Mr.
hoote, both of whom were holding the hy
draulic nozzle, retired to a distance of 250
feet. But for some reason Scott became un
easy 7 . and tried to get Foote to go still further
away 7 , concealing himself behind a tree, in
stead of standing beside Foote, as usual.—
When the blast w 7 ent off a flying stone struck
Foote on the head, killing him instantly. Mr.
Scott is firmly convinced that if he had not
remembered his wife's dream and got behiud
the tree he would have been the man killed.
