Local and General Items. o — 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.

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.

Athens’ Fire Company.—There will l>c a meeting of this organization to-morrow (Saturday) 4 o’k. Members nrc requested to appear in lull dress uni form. The Plantation Publishing Company.—We have received from this company, located in Atlanta, a very handsome specimen of card work, equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind -.vc have ever seen. Colonel B. C. Yan cey President, and C. R. Hnnlcitcr Su perintendent. IVe wish these gcntlemcu success in their enterprise. The Athens’ Fire Company, No. 1 will test their new hose to-morrow. It is a present to the Company, and if found serviceable, will prove a valuable acquisition to the gallant “ Hope.” 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 er's ink is the pivot on which the world turns. Determined to Sell.—Wc call attention to the advertisement ol Mr. A C. McConnell, of Franklin county, who will sell, on the 4th day of Novcm- **r next, hi* land, stock, forage, house hold and kitchen furniture. This ia a rare opportunity for any one who wishes to engage in the noble calling of tiller of the soil. The Bridge.—Workmen are now engaged in repairing this struc ture over the Oconee river, ;at this place. 1 We consider this a very commendable I work, and hope that it will not present Iso much the appearance of the Leaning |Tower o!

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 ENTIRE DEMOCATIC TICKET ELECTED!

W« presume they had very bad colds. Wp-cndcrsUud that Mat Davis is, ta king away hia Radical proclivities, a very good man. Wc hope he mayjct see the error of his ways and prove a champion in the cause of Democracy, lift, he is now in very 'ad company. 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: ATHENS. Smith 946 Walker 685 Carlton 872 Jackson 867 Brown 673 Hunter .673 watkinsville. Smith 209 Walker .217 Carlton -201 Jackson 195 Brown 217 Hunter 216 SALEM. Smith 96 Walker 00 Carlton 66 Jackson 66 Brown 00 Hunter 00 JACKSON’S. Smith Ill Walker 00 Carlton 110 Jackson Ill Brown 00 Hunter 00 Three cheers were, then given our next Representative, andj tUi crowd dispersed. So far as wo can learn, both parties 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 of colored voters says, we understand, *° soil themselves with at low that ’ t&ey were beaten fairly and P™*®* We are but slightly acquaint ed with Mr. Jones, but if the coun- KOCKWELL.

Smith 1399 Walker 905 Smith’s majority 494 Carlton 1311 Brown 893 Carlton’s majority 414 Jackson 1301 Hunter 892 Jackson’s majority. 904 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. Market.—Cotton to day is worth 16 cts.
