Eastman Business College.—
This Institution, which was opened one year ago in
Atlanta, <»*., to educate Young Men for the prac”
tical duties of life, is wielding an influence greate
than any other institution of the kind in the South.
There lias already l»een more than one hundred of
it* graduates sent out who arc to-day occupying
responsible and lucrative positions. The teachers
are well known to the peoplp for fholr, energy, ac
tivity, and usefulness, and it U the only College in
the South that is conducted l»y practical men on
the Actual Business Plan. In a short course of
from twelve to fourteen weeks, yonng men are en
abled to step into the counting house, earn three
times the amount expended for board, tuition, etc.,
in the same iegth of time it requires to graduate.
For terms, sec College Journal, specimens of Pen

Fire.—‘A little after dark
on aasMjfr fjfr ’
alarm of fire. Oar efficient fir* compa
nies promptly responded to the call, but
there happened, fortunately, to be no
occasion for their services. The alarm
was caused by the bursting of a kerosene
lamp in the residence of Mr. Joshua
Doble. The carpet caught fire, but it
was promptly extinguished by the fam
ily, ere it could do any serious harm.
We arc glad it was no worse.
Personal.—We were pleased to
find two of our young meu from our
county (Elbert,) living in ‘Athens,
Mr. Arnold and Mr. Vail. They are
every way reliable and industrious.
Mr. Arnold is engaged with Center &
Reaves, and Mr. Vail with England
& Orr. We were glad to find our
young friends.with such reliable firms.
When our firiends from Elbert come
to Athens they will know where to
find them always at work, they dont
appear to have any ambition to be
called fast young men,—on the contary
they have the sobriety and probability of
much older heads.

It is a present to the Company, and if

The Merchants.—Some
one wisely remarked that advertising
was the oil that wise merchants filled
their lamps with. And might well have
added that those who did not advertise,
like the foolish virgins, were soon cast
out. Ail business meu know that print

attention to the advertisement ol Mr.
A C. McConnell, of Franklin county,
who will sell, on the 4th day of Novcm-

Everybody subscribe for THE
Storm.—On Saturday last
we had, for a short time, almost a storm.
The thunder was very heavy, and flash
after flash of lightning, accompanied
with hail and rain. We stepped to the
window of our office, after a severe clap
of thunder, and saw a pair of small grey
horses, attached to a buggy, going up
the street at a pretty fast canter. There
was a wagon standing just ahead of
them, und as they approached it they
mended their gate. We expected to see
them rush against the wagon, tear the
buggy to pieces, and one or both of them
get killed, and the owner exclaim, in the
language of Fitz James—
“ Woe worm the chase, woe worth the day,
That cost thy life, my gallant gray.”
But they did nothing of the sort, nicy-
appeared to sec their danger, and ob
liqued as handsomely to the left as if a
second Jcliue had been twidling the rib
bons. After going a short distance they
were stopped up town by some one, do
ing no damage. The servant had left
his scat to seek shelter from the rain,
leaving the horses to take care of them
selves. We learn that a single horse ran
off with a buggy from the same cause,
but was arrested before any damage was
done.
During the storm, the china tree in
front of the furniture shop of Mr. Wood’s
was struck by lightning.
Radical Meeting.—The negroes
of this county were made supremely hap
py, on Monday last, by the arrival of a
“colored gemmen from Augusta,” who
would address them, that night, on the
political questions of the day, That
morning our former Representative, (?)
Slat Davis, called on many of our white
Democratic friends, and requested their
presence at the speaking.
At the appointed honr wc, as a faith
ful local, found ourselves wending our
way to the place ot rendezvous, wuich
was the Court House, but wc had not
approached within a dozen paces of the
building when our olfactory organs were
greeted, not with the balm of a thousand
flowers, but the scent of about seven
hnndrcd Sambo’s. Nevertheless, by
great perseverance, wc succeeded in
pushing our way into the building, be
ing determined to sec what was to be
seen, and feast our ears on the words of
wisdom (?) that might drop from the
lips ot this model expo merit ot Republi
can principles. We did not succeed in
procuring a scat, but wc got a pretty
good “ stand,” and, then, first cast our
eyes over the •* intelligent and attentive”
audience (of course we do not include
•our white friends present),«whom the
Northern “philanthropists” are trying
to make the equal of the white man, not
only politically, but socially. The hall
was packed and jammed to overflowing,
both with male and female. Indeed,
there were many who could not gain
admittance. Our eyes next rested upon
the magnet that attracted this vast
throng together, the orator of the night,
lie occupied the Judge’s bench, and was
surrounded by several sattcllitcs of less
magnitude. He was a young negro fob
low, who would jibring, in ante- helium
times, ^abejut $lj(X); sported a sihrer-
headed cattc, and wore his wool carded
near the middle, ne appeared to feel
his importance very much, and received
due reverence from all his admiring con
stituents* We do not intend to disgust
our readers by giving bis speech in full.
Suffice if to say, It was a mass ol vitupe
ration and abuse against every one who
is supported or respected by the South
cm people. He eulogized Grant to the
skies, and repeatedly referred to a scrap
book td read soma qnotation from
speeches made in after-times by the two
opposing candidates for the Presidency.
His production was no doubt prepared
by sonic Radical Congressman, and par
roted into his cranium, they well know
ing the great confidence one negro puts
in what is told him by another. The
speaker was greeted with tbe most ear-
rending screams and yells at the men
tion pf Greeley, Grant or Kn-Kiox,
whether his remarks were good, bad or
indifferent. By the way, wo would re
spectfully suggest to the Committee of
Arrangement, that hereafter, when their
party will be addressed by a Republican
orator, to appoint a port of prompter,
who, by some given signal, such as
scratching his head, nodding, or some
other action.which is common to their
race, signal their listeners when to ap
plaud. But wc arc digressing. We lis
tened for qpme time to the speaker,
when his remarks becoming more and

Wednesday, the day which was to
decide whether our beloved old State
was to be subjected to the rule of ne
groes and aliens, or be placed in the
hands of her rightful rulers, the white
man, dawned fair and clear, without
a single cloud upon her harison, It
seemed as if it was a bright omen, to
precede the glorious day which was so
soon to dawn upon our proud old
commonwealth—a day which we hope
is only the forerunner of a brighter
which will sec the whole South
restored to her rightful place in the
Union, and the corrupt Administra
tion and his army of hirelings hurled
from the power they have so grossly
abused and outraged.
For many days previous to tho elec
tion the Young Men’s Democratic
Club of this city were using every fair
and honorable means in their power to
free our county from the stigma cast
upon it by the result of the last elec
tion. They were determined, if the
day was lost, that it should not be
said that the Democrats of Clark neg
lected their duty, or left one stone
unturned to achieve their object. Cir
culars were issued and sent all over
county, wagons were covered with
handbills, and agents sent out, all beg
ging the people to rally to the polls on
Wednesday, and do their duty.
By the dawn of day on the eventful
morn wagons were seen issuing from
the various streets of ofir city, mount
ed by our young Democratic friends,
with instructions to go out on the
high-ways and into the by-ways, and
bring the lame, halt and blind, as well
as our farmer friends who could not
get the consent of their minds to leave
their cotton fields long enough to vote.
The negroes also had their teams
oat, and seemed to be working with a
spirit worthy of a better cause.
We visited the polls at various
hoars during the day, and the voting
seemed to be progressing as quietly and
serenely as could be desired. Both
parties appeared to be voting quite
rapidly, and the only interruption wo
saw was the occasional challenge of
some suspicious-looking voter. In
fact, we never in our lives saw a more
quiet, orderly election. We may
have been mistaken, but we thought
the faces of our Democratic friends
wore rather a long expession, as if
things wore not progressing as well
with them as might have been.
We deposited our vote abont twelve
o’clock, and to our inquiry as to how
he election was progressing, were told
thaL the Democrats were gaining very
rapidly, which information appeared
to cheer the drooping hopes of our
parly considerably.
We did not visit tbe hall again un
til the dose of the polls, when the
managers commenced the arduous du
ty of counting the votes. The first
box counted was the one polled in the
, morning, which gave the Democrats
veral of the leading Republicans re*
mark that they did not look for much
from that box, as their main strength
was cast in the evening. But fiire-
well fond hopes. The next box was
then opened, and proved to contain
mostly blue tickets, the Republican
color. This was enough for the Rads.
Dey always sed dat box had their
wotes.” The count commenced.- The
only sound that greeted our ears for
some time was “Smith, Carlton, Jack-
son.” The Democrats, too had Voted
blue tiekets. Sambo was undone.
We never saw such joy depicted in
faces before as we witnessed that
night. The HONOR OF OLD
CLARK WAS REDEEMED. The
County would go Democratic. Bat
stop! the count is finished! The
result is about being made known.
“THE ENRIRE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET IS ELECTED IN OUR
CITY!!! ” We are sure now of the
other precincts. Our county will now
be represented by white men.
Then it was that our Democratic
friends gave vent to their feelings in
the most demonstrative manner.
Cheer after cheer was uttered, hats
and hands waved in the air, and it
seemed impossible for our friends to
give enough vent to their long sup-
ssed feelings.. One of our stannch
old Democrats cried out, “keep a
cheering, for it does me good to listen
to it.”
The following is the official return
of Clark county. The voting at all
the precincts, we learn, passed off very
quietly:

are.eatiafied as. to the fairness of the
election. We have heard that, there
was some grumbling and dissatisfac
tion among a few negroes, but we ex
pected as much, But tbe majority

During the counting of the votes
we saw a most woe-begone looking in
dividual, of the colored persausion,
standing against the railing of the
jury box, who sported a high-crowned
beaver, which looked, from its ap
pearance, as if it might have been
doing service as a stove-pipe in the
seventeenth century. He wore a suit
of very seedy black broadeloth, which
I do not think was made up occording
to the latest fashion. Upon injuiry,
we learned that his name was Brown,
the negro candidate for Represent
ative.
The crowd then left the hall and
proceeded to the residence of Dr.
Carlton, who proved to be at his office.
The Doctor appeared, in response to
their call.
He said he felt proud of the honor
they had conferred upon him in elect
ing him as their Representative.. He
thanked them not only for the service
they had done him personally, but for
doing their duty so nobly to their
county and State. Their was a stigma
hanging over old Clark which they
had that day most gloriously erased.
Here a voice shouted, “Amen.”} He
bad not been uneasy about the result
of the election; he knew for the last
three days exactly how it would go;
there was not a hole or corner in the
whole county that he had not visited-
The Doctor begged bis friends to treat
the colored man with kindness and
humanity; he said there never was,
in the annals of history, a nationi so
suddenly elevated from slavery to free
dom who behaved as well as the black
man had done; he believed many of
them had that day voted for him. He
thought that they would all eventually
find out that the Southern man was
their trae friend, and would then cease
to ally themselves with Yankee ad- 1
venturers, and go with their former
masters. But there was another sub
ject which he wanted to impress on
citizens, outride of politics. He want
ed them all to tarn out and work for
the Fair, which is to come off next
week. He felt a pride in it, and .be
wanted them to feel so too. The Doq-
torsai d he would like to make them
longer speech, but feeling very unwell
the audience would have to excuse
fairly
squarely. ' ’ '
Too much praise cannot be given to
tho Democratic Club, of this city. To
them we attribute the glorious victory
we have jnst achieved. They it was
who labored night and day to carry
this election. . The Club is composed
the the leading young men of our city.
IMui” EIaSr.
Great Pepcrations For The Occasion,
Let dlbcar in mind that the Fair
at this place, is near at hand, and we
scincerly hope and believe it will be
liberally patronized, not only by our
citizens, but by all the counties con*
tigious. There is perhaps no institu
tion more .beneficial to a county than
Fairs, they give spirit to enterprise
and industry. They bring hundreds
together that perhaps t never would
have meet, friendships are formed that
are never forgotten and not unfrequen-
ly happy matches are made by the
young. It will be a good time too for
those desiring to purchase goods; mer
chants and clerks will wear snrile-
ing faces, and no doubt sell good bar-
gins.
There are already a good many ar
ticles entered, upwards of one hundred,
some fine horses, beautiful patch work
bed quilts and various other articles.
Eveiything usually exhibited at such
places will be here. We would say to
our friends in the country come one,
come all, we will give you a hearty
welcome, and a warm reception. The
Fair is bound to be a success. The
accommodations at the ground are all
that can be asked. We are confident
that all visiters will Tub highly pleased*
with tbe exhibition, and leave with-
cheerful hearts only regreting that it
was so soon over. It will be observed
that eur young friend Mr. Luckic, who
a diamond of the first water, has of
fered two prices himself. If ©or
friend would only offer himself as
price to the young lady who could
cut and make the best coat or pants
needles and thread would be in demand.
It is a' good time too for mer
chants to advertise, let those attending
the fair know what they they have for
sale, smd the host way to make it known
through the medium of the county
paper*, a good timer too for editors
to call attention ter advertisements iii a
local notice'.
i.. ' J 1
And let the advertisements be large
and occupy a good space in the paper,
make them spread, as the boy did the
turkey ben, when he set her on a hund
red and fifty eggs. His mother asked
binrr why he set her on so many eggs,
be replied, mammy I want to see her
spread out wide. So do we advertise
ments, see them spread out wide. We
commenced on article about the Fair
and wound up by asking for advertise
ments. We forgot ourselves, and the
only excuse for it is “ where the treas
ure is, there -will the heart be.”
We call attention to the advertise
ment of R. Tf. Brumby & Co., Drug
gist, in our.next, issue, we will give
them more space in a local, we were
going to press when there advertise
ment come in.
considerably the majority. We heard I him.
ADVERTISEMENTa—Wo takfl
in calling the attention of-our
readers to the new advertisements in
this' week’s isshfe. r Mr. Jones adver
tises all kinds of tin ware, and stoves
of a superior quality, We took a look
in his establishment a few days since
and we think there is nothing in !*■«
line hut what the housekeepers «*n
tenances is an index to the man we
would say be is all right After ' you
have examined Mr. Jone*s tin Ware
pass onto England & Orris. There
you will find a variety store, every
thing kept that any person can expect
and at prices to suit purchasers. They
are thorough gentlemen, deal fairly
and give, good bargains. We know
Mr. England well, and if he is not
just what he • ought to be we have not
found it out With Mr. Orr we have
less acquaintance but he certainly has
tbe face of an honest man—if you want
any goods in the hardware line go to
Messrs. Summey & Newton, dont ask
any questions about them for honesty
is written in every feature of their
faces, genuine gentlemen both. Their
clerk Mr. Wilkins will certainly do to
tie to. •. , j
We have known Mr. Summey . a
long time, and have in nil onr. dealings
with him found him a straight
forward upright gentleman, oru ac
quaintance with Mr. Newton is more
limited. Messrs. Griffith & Crane
has also given us an advertisement.
These two gentleman we never saw till
we came to this. place, and can only
speak of them from hearsay. Reports
speaks highly of their probiety and
fair dealings. They have quite a var
iety in this store and we found their
prices very reasonable. We would ad
vise our country friends to give all of
tbe above named persons a call when
they come to town, bo it to sell eotton
or purchase goods.
