Improprieties.
1. It is Improper for any person to try to
get money without earning it. The darkest
hour of a young man’s life is when he starts
to get a dollar without giving its equivalent*
Wlwt are sometimes termed “ streaks of luck,’
frequently prove to be the most disastrous in
i man’s life.
2. To purchase anything from an agent,
except you are well acquainted with the qual
ity ami value of the article desired, or have
mere than ordinary confidence in the vendor.
3. To live beyond your income, except in
cases of extreme necessity, and then it must
not be continued long.
4. To pet a child with the foolish hope that
'4 Till out-grow the injury in after years.
5. To sit down and mourn over hard times
Ml anxiously wait for them to improve, in
stead of using all your power to make the
times better.
6. To endeavor to drive away trouble with
trouble, as in taking the intoxicating bowl to
drown sorrow. The inevitable result is, sor
row added to sorrow equals much sorrow.
"• To foolishly spend a few cents each day
under the impression that it will make but
little difference in the amount of your income
11 the end of the year, when the nett profits
°n a good business amount only to a few cents
Iter day.
To borrow money at a high rate of in
terest to make profits on, and thus jeopardize
S; 1 your means tor the sake of exceedingly
uncertain gain.
To complain or murmur at the state of
i'c weather, or anything else over which We
:i ave no possible control.
10. For a young man to mistreat his moth
er or sisters, when it is certain that the young
a lies of his acquaintance will conclude hence
Inat he will also mistreat his wife.
H. For agents to expect the public to bear
v 'r traveling expenses, except when they
lr '- traveling strictly in the interests of benevo -
“• lo show more respect and affection for
a dead man at his burial than you did for the
same when in life.
13. To suppress a man’s faults to his face.

IT For a person traveling on his own busi
ss to call and lodge with his acquaintances

The Old Veteran
In the mail service between Jefferson and
Athens, Mr. J. R. Nichols, retires with the be
ginning of the new arrangements to-day, July
Ist. Mr. Nichols has been on this line for
nine years, and has never missed a trip or
failed to make mail connection at schedule
time. He has also had charge of the route
between Atlwns and Farmington for five
years, and has licen equally successful with
his administration and discharge of duty on
that route. Mr. X. distributed on each of his
trips over 50 letters and papers to the people
along the route, and will long be remembered
by* them for his courtesy and kindness in this
respect. By the “press gang” in the two
places—Athens and Jefferson—Mr. X. will
always be respected for his urbanity and dis
position to oblige. Wc understand that some
time ago he put on foot the project, and has
been instrumental in bringing almost to en
tire completion, the establishment of anew
Post Office between this place and Athens;
for this he deserves the gratitude of publish
ers and people. But father “Time” works
wonderful changes, and we take leave of our
old friend with regret. “ Long may he wave,”
and may r the “Gum Spring,” with its hospi
table and interesting denizens, grow and flour
ish as the “green bay.”
Arrival and Departure of Mails Under the
New Schedule.
To Mr. F. L. Pendergrass, Deputy P. M.,
we are indebted for the following “Schedule

From some cause, unexplained as 3*et at
these “ headquarters,” the mail route from
tliis place to Flowery Branch seems to have
been overlooked in some way or other. We
regret this, and hope the citizens along the
contemplated route, as well as those at both
ends, will see to it that this important route
is not allowed to go “by the board P* There
are a large number of people and a large
amount of territory that will be greatly ben
efitted by the permanent establishment of this
route. And then let us have a mail to Har
mony Grove, by all means. A daily one at
that.
Brutal Affair.
Wc have been informed of an occurrence—
the particulars of which, if true, excels any
thing in the way of brutish deviltry we have
heard of for some time—if ever. A negro
fellow, called Rob’t Howard, has been charged
(and a warrant issued for his arrest) with
committing a rape on the person of a girl of
his own color named Mary Helen Duke.—
What adds to the euormity of this brute's of
fence is, that the girl is said to he an idiot
and cripple—be*ing born so ; and though some
sixteen or seventeen years old, has never
walked a step without crutches or some other
assistance. The deed was committed, ac
cording to the affidavit of the mother of the
girl, on the 16th of June. An attempt was
made to arrest this beast one day last week,
but learning, it is supposed, of the presence
of the officer in the vicinity of his whereabouts,
betook leave, and has not as yet been found.
The offence, we hear, was committed on the
plantation of Capt. A. C. Thompson, five or
six miles from Jefferson, and the negro man
has been employed recently at or near the
premises of Frank Holliday, Esq., of Clarkes
borough District.
l”# J Below Eberhart’s mill, Oglethorpe
county, there stands the foundation and ruins
of an old mill. In 1840, daring the high wa
ters of that year, the building was floated
from its foundation, made a circuit of over
200 yards in the river, and came back and
settled on its foundation again, not 12 inches
out of place.
BF 3 Warning in the Warrenton Clipper:
The man who dropped dead in Monroe coun
ty the other has owed us $2 for a sub
scription since the latter part of 1874. Re
tribution will come sooner or later. Better
look at your receipt and see the time of day.

Editor News: —We have been passing
through a watery ordeal for some weeks.
However, the farmers are working hard and
not out of heart. Harvest is over; wheat is
very light; was considerably injured by the
wet spell, and will not relieve the wants of
the country much ; but Fall oats are fine, and
will be a great relief to the farmers. Some
wheat has sprouted in the shock, and it is
impossible to tell the extent of damage. Cot
ton is generally looking and growing well;
corn not doing so well, especially on bottom
lands. 1 here is a great deal of sugar cane
planted; nearly every farmer has a patch.
And another tiling, nearly everybody has a
watermelon patch, and you may know we
count on a good time ahead. We presume of
course the editor will be favored with some
fine ones, merely as samples, if nothing else.
POLITICS.
\\ c are all powerful busy now-a-days, but
occasionally something is said about candi
dates. We have heard H. W. Bell, Col. Sil
man, Capt. Bennett, Col. Pike, &c., mention
ed, but as yet it is impossible to calculate
with any certainty as to the lead of a choice.
All good men—all well qualified, and would
make good Representatives, and be an honor
to ths- county. As to the Governor,
our section almost solidly for Gen. Colquitt.
Since the Radicals have made their nomina
tion ot Ilaj’cs and Wheeler for President and
V ice-President—both common men and the
“{treat unknoim" —we are more hopeful about
electing a Democratic President—indeed, it
m ust be done.

father, on Wednesday, 28th nit., by Rev. J.

Niblack, Esq., and Miss Julia C. Lyle.
This amiable and (now) happy couple are,
if we are not mistaken, to the “ manor born”
—children of “old Jackson.” The groom
is the popular and highly esteemed Clerk of
our Superior Court, and belongs to one of the
best families of the county, while his gifted
ami accomplished bride is the daughter of
D. R. Lyle, Esq., a gentleman who is so well
known and who stands so high in the estima
tion of his fellow-citizens of nil classes, as to
render it presumptions on the part of the
writer to repeat more than is here announced.
May Heaven's richest blessings attend our
newly wedded friends in their journey thro’
life, and may “their paths he paths of peace,
and their ways be ways of pleasantness.”

Sue-ing Machines.
A Sewing Machine Agent drove up to the
house of Mr. H.. in this county, and the fol
lowing colloquy occurred:
Agent —Let me sell you a Sooing Machine.
Mr. II.—I think I do not wish to buy.
Agent—Then, you certainly do not know
how valuable and useful it is. Tt is really
worth two or three times what we ask for it.
In a family of ordinary size, it will nearly or
quite save its price every year. Trier? we war
rant our Machines five years. It will he kept
in as good condition as when you get it, for
five years, without expense to you. It has
now come to this: No sooing can be done
without a machine. A garment made by hand
will not bear inspection. The ladies must
have them. Even the negroes, who hire all
their work done, will not carry it where there
is no machine. Everybody has or will have
one. Let me sell to you.
Mr. II.—I believe not. I have but few debts
owing to me, and I hope I will not have to
sue anybody. If I do, I can have my small
business done without a machine.
The Agent left without saying good-bye.
BF'The gubernatorial contest grows lively.
AH sections of the state seem to be manifes
ting increasing interest in the matter. This
is as it should be. In this way the people
