of the Bell House in Greenesboro’ last Satur
day, and enjoyed a most excellent dinner,
gotten up and served in the style and taste
for which Mr. and Mrs. Bell have been noted
for years. They propose to keep just such
a table as they kept a few years ago at Union
Point, when it was known from New York to
Xsew Orleans as the best dinner house along
the entire route. They will serve meals to
our county friends at such a low price that
it wont pay to bring baskets and lunches.

will give them a trial.

Polygamy to be Suppressed.
The bill which lias been reported from
llie Senate Judiciary Committee for the sup
pression of polygamy in the United States
will, it is beleived, bo taker, up at an early
day. This will bring the whole question
before the present session of Congress, and
it will, very probably, be debated at some
length in both houses. The bill reported
yesterday imposes penalties for the future
practice of polygamy, or bigamy, as it is
defind in the statutes, and disqualifies any
man beleiving in the practice from jury ser
vice. The children horn of polygamous
marriages prior to November Ist, 1879, are
legitimate, but subsequent births of that kind
will not be recognized by the law. Power
to grant pardons for offenses of this charac
ter is confered upon the President. White
the practice of polygamy is generally con
demned by the sentiment of the American
people, there is a manifest desire that our
law makers and law officers shall temper jus
tice with mercy, discretion and considera
tion in dealing with the people of Utah.—
Savannah Neics.
The Famine in Ireland.
The Duchess of Marlborough writes to the
Lord Mayor that tliare is no exaggeration
in saying that millions have been lost in the
West of Ireland by the utter failure of the
potato crop. But for benevolence numbers
must endure the greatest misery. Nor does
the Duchess think that the fearful loss is
entirely due to the elements. It is also due
to the deterioration of the potato plant, from
the fact that for years the best potatoes have
been eaten and the worst sown. The supply
of potato seed for next year must be an anx
ious thought to ail, so that a harrowing re
currence of the distress may be prevented.
The Duchess had found tinned beef ami
Liebig’s extract of meat most valuable where
sickness prevails. Blankets, clothing, and
cast-off clothing for children arc much de
sired.

Athens Chronicle: “ As Mr. F. L. Winkler
was going home on Monday night he was at
tacked by some unknown party, who had
crouched on the side way at the corner of Mr-
A. L. Hull’s lot. on Jacksom street. No
sooner had the attack been made than Mr.

Tii • Irwiuton Appeal says that Mr. James
I>. Stevens rode a railroad velocipede from

machine is described as quite a curiosity,
and at the same time very simple, it has
two wheels, and all of the propelling appa
ratus on one side, with one little wheel on
the other side, to keep it from turning over.
The railroad company are now giving these
velocipedes a trial to see whether or not they
will do.for the supervisors to travel over the
road on.

Marietta Journid: “The Marietta and
Nort.i Georgia Railroad is doing a large
busines now. They are making several trips
a day, and are still some thirty-five cars be

lays they will have anew engine, several
freight boxes and anew passenger coach,
which will enable the road to keep up with
their increasing business. We are glad to
learn that all the debt against the road will
soon be paid and such things no longer to cm

The Oglethorpe Echo reports that a singu
ar monument is to be seen at Simston. It
is a plain hewn granite shaft, without in
scription, with several pieces of old cannon
laid on top. It w*as erected to the memory*
of Mr. Hopkins Hubbard, who died and was
buried in New Orleans, and is on the spot
where the deceased lost an arm in firing a
Fourth of July salute from an old cannon
that did service in the war of 1812, the gun
having burst, and the pieces nowon the mon
ument being the ones that carried away his
limb. Flie shaft is about four feet high, and
strange to say, the missiles loosly placed on
it by the hand of a loving sister have never
been disturbed, although many decades have
passed since then.
The Augusta News tells how Mr. E. H.
Byne, of Jefferson county, says that an un
mitigated scoundrel named John Simmons
recently came to his neighborhood, near Stel
laville. After lie had been there only three
days he married a woman name Mary Tomp
kins, who was possessed of property valued
at about six hundred dollars, all of which
i Simmons induced her to sell. Having done
so the unscrupulous groom seized hold upon
the money, stole a horse and buggy* belong
to Byne, made bis escape into South Caro
lina, leaving Byne and bride lonely and
desolate—the first minus a horse and buggy
and the latter her property. Byne offers a
reward for the capture of the rascal.
LaGrange Reporter: “We have heard the
following report of a serious cutting affray
which occurred one night last week : There
was a party at the bouse of John T. Smith,
who lives on the old Cofield place, in the
western part of Troup county*. Ilcnry Barnes,
one of the guests, remarked to Smith in a
friendly way: ‘Let’s go out into the hall;
I want to speak with you.’ As soon as they
got into the hall Barnes drew a knife and
attacked Smith so suddenly that he had no
chance to defend himself. Barnes cut him
once in the shoulder, once in the side, once
in the arm and stuck the knife five times into
: a day-book which Smith had in his breast
pocket. Smith’s wounds are quite serious.
Barnes has not been arrested, nor has lie
made any attempt to avoid arrest. Our in
formant could give no reason for the difficulty,
j Some months since the two men had a quarrel,
but that was understood to be settled long
ago. If things goon this way a Troup county
party will be as dangerous a place as a Texas
party.”

A WORD TO THOSE WHO USE POROUS FLUSTERS. It is a universally acknowledged fact that
m ON’ CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS.
The great demand for them has caused a number of unscrupulous parties to make and
sell worthless imitations under similar sounding names. A s the market is Hooded with in
ferior plasters selling at any price it is important for the consumer to know which is th©
best. It is well known that some of the cheap plasters have been examined and found. Ut *
contain injurious ingredients which make them dangerous to use, causing paralysis and oth

Chicago Ledger.
Established 1873.
The Leading Literary Paper of
tiis West.
Only $1.50 a Year.
| The Chicago Ledger la now ap
pro aching the dose of the seventh
year of its existence, having been
j established in the winter of 187. H.
j The Ledger was started by its prcs
j ent conductors with some misglv-
I ings as to the success of the enter-
J prise. Many literary ventures of a
1 kindred character had been made In
I the Western metropolis, and misor
| ably failed. The sea of journalism
| was strewn with the wrecks of
j stranded newspaper enterprises,
i Others that were living, but strng-
I gling for a precarious existence,
I have since yielded to inevitable fato
! and gono down, leaving The Ledger
I to-day the only weekly story-paper
9 printed in Chicago,
j The Ledger has not attained the
J plane of success upon which It now
I solidly rests without earnest, well
j directed effort. Its conductors have
I labored earnestly and persistently
j not only to make it an excellent llt-
I erary journal, but also to make the
3 reading world acquainted with it.
I Thousands upon thousands of dol
-3 lars have been expended in bringing
• its merits to the attention of tbo
' reading public. In fact, The Ledger
j has been the most extensively-ad
[ vertised newspaper in the West.
I The publishers have a feeling of
I pride at the success that has a6-
I tended their efforts to build up a
3 first class literary paper in tbo cap
ital city of the West. The circula-.
j tion, already large, Is rapidly grow
\ ing. and by the Ist day of January
f will be not less than 25,000. Thb
j publishers do not mean to relax
I their efforts to make The Ledger
I the beet weekly newspaper in iljo
3 West, but- in'-end to persevere in the
j work, and during the coming months
I will still further increase its value
1 and usefulness. •
I The weekly contents of The Ledg
-1 er embrace, in addition to its serial
| novels, several short stories; a Home
9 and Family Doctor department, em
i bracing letters from women of cx
