“ fall flat.”
—Our clever citizen, Mr. D, J. Sanders,
has been christened grandpapa since the Bth
instant. It was a boy, and weighs “just
nine pounds.”
—Eggs are scarce, and are worth twenty
cents per dozen. If somebody don’t stir up

is that there is danger of eating too much

—Major J. P. Hudson received a can of

—Col. W. 11. Simpkins was married, in

county, and Miss Mamie Hamilton, Conyers ;
Prof. W. S. McCarty, Hogansville, and Miss
Mamie Kennedy, Atlanta. The ceremony
vas performed at 8 A. M., the Rev. J. G.
Gibson, of Crawford, officiating. The happy
couple reached this place, via Athens, at 5
P. M., and repaired to the Key House, where
they were met by a few friends, and last, but
by no means least, where an excellent supper
had been prepared by Mrs. Key, which was
enjoyed by all, and more especially the
writer. Miss Seamans was one of the most
charming and fascinating young ladies at her
former home, and we condole with Conyers
at her loss, while we rejoice at our gain.
May the happy couple, in all the after occa
sions of life, dwell together in peace am
contentment, and may old age find them
enjoying the sweets of wedded blessedness.
—During the past twelve months there has
been many a mother’s heart made glad by the
appearance of her roving boy who wandered
from home while in his teens; many a lady
whose heart leaped with joy at the coming of
her long-looked for lover who had sought Ills
fortune in the Western wilds; many a man
who was made happy and could breathe easy
when his lady lover would smile and pour
balm upon his aching foil} 7 . And all of this
was well, but was a mere nothing compared
with the happiness of our friend Mr. R. S.
Chaney, on the 13th instant, when he was put
in possession of the fact that it was a boy,
and weighed twelve pounds.

fSPWe learned last week that a man near

outrage upon a little girl. We have failed to
gain any definite particulars of the affair.
idle rumor is afloat in Clarkesboro’
District to the effect that John B. Arthur was
seen in Jefferson during Court week, and
announced that he would appear again. We

LlFFrotn Mr. Harvey Duke we learn of a
serious calamity that befell our former citi
zen, Mr. T. J. Moon, who has been living in
Forsyth county, near Flowery Branch, for the
last j T ear. During one night last week his
house caught fire, and so rapid was the con
flagration that the family barely escaped in
their nightclothes, and saved nothing from
the burning building. This is a severe loss
to a worthy and clever gentleman, and will
be greatly deplored by bis friends and former
neighbors.

THE SUN FOR 1881.
ERY BODY reads The Sun. In the editions
-J bf this newspaper throughout the year to como'
everybody will find :
I. All the world’s news, so presented that tho
reader will get the greatest amount of information
with the least unprofitable expenditure of time
and eyesight. The Sun long ago discovered tho :
golden mean between redundant fulness and un
satisfactory brevity.
11. Much of that sort of news which depends
less upon its recognized importance than upon its
interest to mankind. From morning to morning
The Sun prints a continued story of the lives of
real men and women, and of their deeds, plans,
loves, hates, and troubles. This story is moro
varied and more interesting than any romance that
was ever devised.
111. Good writing in every column, and fresh
ness, originality, accuracy, and decorum in the
treatment of every subject.
IV. Honest comment. The SUN’S habit i& to>
speak out fearlessly about men and things,
V. Equal candor in dealing with each political!
party, and equal readiness to commend what is.
praiseworthy or to rebuke what is blamablo ini
Democrat or Republican.
VI. Absolute independence of partisan organ-,
izations, but unwavering loyalty to true Demo
cratic principles. The Sun believes that the
Government which the Constitution gives us is a
good one to keep. Its notion of duty is to resist
to its utmost power the efforts of men in the Re
publican party to set up another form of govern
ment in place of that which exists. The year 1881
and the years immediately follotcing will probably
decide this supremely important contest. The
Sun believes that the victory will be with tho
people as against the Rings for monopoly, the
Rings for phinder, and the Rings for imperial
power.
Our terms are as follows :
For the Daily Sun. a four-page sheet of twenty
eight columns, the price by mail, post paid, is 55
cents a month, or $0.50 a year ; or, including tho
Sunday paper, an eight-page sheet oflifty-six col
umns, the price is 05 cents a month, or $7.70 a
year, postage paid.
The Sunday edition of Tun Sun is also furnish

The price of the Weekly Sun, eight pages, fifty-,
six columns, is 81 a year, postage paid. For clubs
