LOCAL NEWS.
Ouk Pa’.-kr.—The publication of
our paper has been unavoidably delayed
to a later hour than usual, one of the
Proprietors has again been called off by
.MckoSs* in his^hiidly, and as the fair is
■ going.’oft, U is impossible to employ ex
tra compositors. The young men in the
1 tliee have stood manfully by their cases,
knowing our situation they have not
flinched from duty,'they have not allowed
the pleasures of a visit to the fair to in-
. terfere with their work. We know such
things arc tempting to the young, and
there arc but few who can resist the fari
na* ions ot pleasure.
Jay O. Gailey.—This gentleman’s
! julvertiscn -t appears inour columns.
He also sells regularly at auction. At
tend them and you can buy good bar
gains from a very reliable gentleman.
Next week we will give him a more
extensive notice.
On last Sunday after
noon in the Episcopal Church at this
place, the Rev, Mr. Lucas performing
the marriage ceremony. Mr. Andrew
Seagraves and Miss Etnalinc Pettier were
made one. We learn they both work at
the Athens factory. Wc wish them much
happiness on their voyage through life.
Df.atii of a Student.—Death has
again visited our city. On last Saturday
morning wc saw the hearse moving up
Broad st. Upon inquiring wc learned
that a yonng gentleman of the name of
Smith of South West Georgia had died
the day previous. lie was a student in
the Agricultural Department of the Col
lege. It is said he was not well when he
left home, and came here with the hope
of recovering. Wc deeply sympathize
with his friends and can appreciate their
feelings when they look upon “one va
cant clmir.” May He who tempers the
wind to the shown lamb, give them
strength to bear t'.ieir heavy misfortune.
Tobacco.—Not the divine havan-
na that Byron writes about, but first
class no. 1 chewing tobacco. The kind
that makes one feel good over, that
makes him love his neighbor as himself,
and puts him in a good humor with the
.world. Wc know many of our readers
I will say such tobacco is of the past, it
cant be had now, but they are mistaken,
go to J. II. Huggins & Co., on Broad
street ami you will find the article wc dis
crete. What we say we know, for our
young friend Mr. Weatherly the junior
partner of Mr. Huggins presented us with
some the other day, for which we return
our thanks, it is decidedly the best ar
ticle we have seen since the surrender.
Fire Company Hope.—This fire
company turned out on Saturday after
noon last, in full uniform to test their
new hose. After parading for n short
time, they took position in Broad street
and went to work. They threw water
first in a horizontal position, and then
perpendicular. The water was thrown in
a large stream a considerable distance,
and then far above the roof of any house
in our city. Those who are better judges
than wc arc pronounced the hose all that
they ought to l>c. There was not a gen
eral turn out of the company, it is said.
It composes about sixty members, about
thirty or forty were out. They could
have performed much better if the com
pany had been complete. Thelnbor was
too severe for so few of them. Such of
the organization we saw were generally
young men and very fine looking fellows,
who looked capable of great endurance,
and would be ready at any moment to
face and conquer the fire fiend. A large
concourse ot citizens were out to see
them—a good many little boys were pres
ent who appeared to be ambitious to run
“ wid der mcrehene.” Wc know of no
class of men who deserve more from a
people than firemen- They arc a class
who sacrifice pleasure, comfort sleep and
everything else for the public good. They
face danger in its most. dangerous and
fearful form. They do their work firmly
silently and nobly. They ask for no
compensation, look for no applause, but
meet the enemy with stalwart aims and
brave hearts.
All honor to the fireman—long may he
wave.
J. H. Huggins & Co.
We to-day insert the advertisement
of this energetic and enterprising firm.
They have a great variety they are of
fering for sale, and we think on reason
able terms. Wc took a look in their
store a few days since, and found a
much greater variety than we had any
idea of. When you enter the store
from Broad street, by looking to the
right you see a large assortment of dry
goods of almost every’ shade and de
scription. On the left you see samples
of all kinds of crockery, glass-ware and
lamps of all sorts and sizes. Pass on
to the rear and there you find bagging,
ropeing, sugar, coffee, bacon, flour and
everything else any person can require.
Our country friends will find it to their
interest to give them a call. If they
don’t find a sufficiency of all sorts of
articles in the entrance room, go in the
cellar, they will find that well filled,
and among other necessary and useful
articles—non-explosive Kerosine oil.—
This firm are strictly gentlemen. The
junior member is single, modest, unas
suming, and decidedly good looking. —
The last remark is intended lor the
young ladies, not that we suppisc they
care about such matters, but we feel
an interest in them, and like to let them
know who is clever.
Tiie Premiums.—Tne premiums
awarded at the fair have not yet been
received. We defered the publication
of the paper till a late hour in hopes
of receiving them.
Everybody.—We have received
from the publishers a large and hand
some illustrated family paper, with the
above name. It is published weekly in
New York rand Buffalo at four, dollars
per annum. It contains excellent read
ing matter, the present No. is accom
panied with a handsome engraving of
j the two Nopolcons. We think it well
1 worth the subscription. It is a literary
knot a political paper.
Convicts.—Wc learn that there are
ninety-eight convicts now at work on
Itlie North-Eastern Railroad. They were
(sent from the Air Line road to this vi-
Icinity, and are now at work some four or
ltive miles aljovc Athens. Wc hope and
Ibclicfe the work on this road will be
[vigorously pushed on to its- completion,
jit is said to be under the management
of energetic men, who will advance the
I work rapidly.
Buggy IT-set.—We regrettolenrn
that Mr. Brumby was thrown from his
buggy on Wednesday last, lie was return-
png trom the fair grounds, and in going
round a corner, he made too short n turn,
rhich upset his buggie and threw both
bim^faud-^arfant out, Mr. Brumby re-
jeeivea but a slight injury, tiic servant
| none. Wo would have been very sorry
! lor him to have been seriously injured,
i and congratulate him on his fortunate
l escape. It is said his buggie was pretty
Mrs. Hall.—We leant through pri
vate sources of the death of Mrs. Sim
con Ilall, of Elberton. She was highly
esteemed and greatly respected by all
her acquaintance. She had been a wid
ow for many years, and endeared herself
to aii classes, by her uniform kindness
ami generosity.
Georgia Horses.—Our attention
was attracted to a magnificent pair of
bay horses attached to a carriage passing
up broad street a few days since, they
matched well, were as gay as peacocks,
and moved graceful as an antelope.
They were high strung, and had me re
style about them than any horses we have
seen for years. They reminded us forci
bly of the diseription Buhver gives in
one of liis works of Glnucus* horses
Upon imputing we learned that they be
longed to Mr. Cobb of this place, and
would probably be shown at the fair.
One of the ten commandments says:
“ Thou shalt not covet.” It is hard to
keep from it, and look upon such fine
stock. As the woman says in the play :
“ Wc acknowledge the soft impeach
ment-”

Medley.—Our attention has been
I several times attracted to this fine horse,

A Fight.—On Tuesday afternoon
last, there was a little fight oa Broad
street. The parties were a one-armed
man. we believe from Tennessee—the
other a stranger to us; the latter sound
in wind, limb and sight. It was not
to he compared t > the fight between Bill
Stallins and Bob Dithum that Judge
Longstrcet describes. But for a short
time each seemed to do his best. The J
Tenncs&can offered a thousand dollais
for another arm, but as no one present
appeared to have an extra one, be failed
to make the purchase, and resorted to
his knife—his opponent tc a stick—and
only succeeded in striking one blow
with it, when the police arrested the two
armed one. We know not what became
of the other—he may have also been ar
rested.
A Useful Book.—Wc acknowl
edge our thanks for a book containg the
report of the Secretary of the Interior.
In looking over it we find apparently a
full report of the commission of Eduea
tion. As yet wc have not the time to give
it as complete an examination as we wi-h
and intend to do. Wc see eighty-four bus
iness Colleges reported, scattered through
twenty-seven States, having 1G8 instruc
tors and 6,470 pupils. For the educa
tion ot the deaf and dumb there arc
thirty-eight schools, during the last aca
demic year there were more titan four
thousand students. Pennsylvania has
incorporated an institution for this pur
pose at Petersburg.
Guilds Nickerson & Co.—On
Saturday last we walked through the
large establishment of this enterprising
firm, noticing the improvements they
were making in their store. They hnvc
united a large room in the rear of the
entrance room, throwing both into one.
Thousands of goods can be stored away
there. There is a flight of steps from
the store leading to the cellar, that is
nearly, if not unite, as capacious as the
upper rooms. There is a large door on
the east side of the cellar, makin
entrance from the street for wagons and
teams. They can drive in, turn without
any difficulty, and go out. It will be a
great conveniance to wagons in unload
ing their cotton and reloading with
goods. These gentlemen dont do things
by halves, and wc hope to see them reap
a reward for their enterprise in improv
ing their plarc of business. Next to ad
vertising, nothing brings more trade to n
town than fine large stores. As soon as
these gentlemen get their store house
completed and a supply of new goods,
our readers will hear from them through
our paper. They know the merchants
who advertise arc tlie men who sell the
goods. There is something about the
business man who advertises that attracts
people to him. They see at a glance
that he is a generous, liberal trader. A
gentleman that is not afraid to risk his
money, for he knows that it pays in the
long run. There is a good all proverb
among sporting men, if you risk nothing
you have nothing.” It will apply to all
kinds ot business.
Mr. Luckie.—We deeply regret
the injury this gentleman received yes
terday at the fair grounds. A fright-
eued horse was dashing off* with a bug-
gie and making for the carriages of the
ladies when Mr. Luckie caught hold
of him and arrested his course, while
he was holding him he received several
very severe kicks from the infuriate
animal. Wc met Mr. Luckie on the
street just after dark, he was consider
ahly bruised about the face, wc sincer-
ly hope nothing serious will occur from
it. lie together with Dr. Henry Carl
ton have done more we learn to en
courage and support the fair than any
others, we speak from hearsv, these
gentlemen have been indefatagable in
their exertions, they have given their

not os a participant in the strife, but as
what was much more needed, a minister
ing angel to the sick, a comforter to the
dying, and a tender and devoted nurse
to the wounded. Where the battle was
raging the thickest, there he was, un
mindful ot his own danger, speaking a
words of hope to each dying soldier, os
their life-blood was ebbing away. No
one, however obscure, escaped his notice*
From the meanest private in the ranks
to the commandant of the army loved
him as a good and true man. There is
now many a soul in Heaven who owes its
salvation to the words of warning and
afterwards comforting advice of this
divine.
But when the din of battle had ended,
and the soldier returned the sword to
its scabbard'and grasped the plowshare,
then, and not till then, did he revisit his
family, and take charge of his church.
But his self-sacrifice did not end with
the war. ne, every Sabbath morn, de
livers his regular sermon to his congre
gation in Millegcville, and after dinner,
walks seven miles to fill an appointment
he has in the piney woods, among the
poor, ignorant class, who arc not able to
employ a pastor, or even build a house
of worship, as he has to hold service
under a bush arbor.
He receives a liberal salary from his
city congregation, but to what use does
lie place it ? As soon as received he di
vides it into two equal parts, whether
much or little; orte half he reserves for
the support of his family, and the other
he gives to the poor. He is laying up
‘•treasures in Heaven.”
We sincerely hope that Mr. Lane will
visit our city often, and nat fail to de
liver one or more sermons, as we think
there is a wide field tor the minister of
Christ in our section.
While on this subject, we would men
tion the fact that there are a great many
young men, who have the appearance ot
respectability, who scctn to attend church
for no other purpose tbnn to see and be
seen, they congregate around the door,
stare every lady in the face who enters,
and make some remark about her appear
ance. They do not preteud to enter, bnt
lounge around on the steps and sidewalk
until service is dismissed, when the
same programme is repeated. If some
friend will furnish us with a list ot their
names we \fill promise to give them
public notoriety through the columns of
this paper.
Hon. Garnett McMillan.
It is with regret we see Mr. McMillan
has declined being a candidate for the
Legislature, he was not only one of the
most useful, but one among the most
influential members of that body. He
was a working man, always at his post,
and watched with a ready eye the inter
est of his people and of his State.—
Habersham will feel his loss, he was
highly appreciated by his constituents,
and we think we can say with truth
that in the House “ they ne'er will look
upon his like again.”

Going it Blind.—Tuesday night
we saw quite a crowd collected round a
store house, and walked over to see
whether it was a civil, political or re
ligious meeting. Upon arriving nt the
r pot we entered the door, and found a
young man turning a machine ot some
kind, such a one ns wc never saw before,
it was placed on a table with a revolving
arrow, upon the table in a ring was a
large quantity of cheap jewclery, also
several pistols and some handsome plaited
ware, consisting of tea sets, pistols, sugar
dishes «e.’ X bystander would pay 50 cts.
and with his hand give the arrow a push
that sent it round the circle, wherever
the arrow stopped it pointed to some
article on the table, which article was
immediately handed to the one who put
up the Sometimes it would point to
quite n handsome article but oftener at
the jewelry. This mode of disposing of
goods is not selling, and it can hardly be
called gambling, wc suppose it cau l>c

Tiie Fair.—The Fair closed yester
day wc understand with flying colors,
every one we heard speak of it eulo
gise it to the highest point, all appear
satisfied and delighted with the man
ner in which it was conducted, the best
order prevailed. The gentlemen were
all life and gaiety, the ladies all smiles
and beauty. We have been here but
a short time and have seen hut few of
the Athens ladies, and those we have
seen were either walking or rideing in
the streets, hut wc assert without the
fear of contradiction that from what
we have seen, Athens can boast of as
much beauty as any other city of the
same size. We heard several gentle
men say there was an array of beauty
at the Fair that could not be equaled,
tnuch less surpassed. We did not at
tend a single day, our duty required
our constnut presence in the office, an 1
consequently, we can only speak from
what others tell us.
Our report of the articles on exhibi
tion in this issue will necessarily be
limited, the junior member of the firm
attended two days, and expected to
give a lengthy report, but in conse
quence of illness in his family, he was
suddenly and unexpectedly called off.
Next week we will give a full account
of the articles exhibited. We were
pleased to learn that J. H. Huggins &
Co. took two premiums, one for the
best work horse, the other for the best
bacon. We have never seen his horse,
but the bacon we examined, and would
unhesitatingly pronounce it a very su
perior article—as most of their goods
are when exhibited. Mr. Veronee also
took two premiums, one for a fan at
tached to a Sewing Machine, the other
for his bathing chair. He is a gentle
man of great mechanical skill and in
genuity, and it seems perfect any in
vention that he attempts.
The above named Reverend gentleman
has been delivering very eloquent dis
courses in the Presbyterian Church of
this city lor several days, the influence
of which, wc hope and believe, will be
felt l>y many a recreant from the cross of
our blessed Saviour.
Wc did not have an opportunity of
listening to this eminent divine until
last Sabbath, and we have ever since re
gretted that we had not laid aside all
our business affairs from his first
discourse, and regularly attended
church the entire time of his sojourn in
ottr city.
Upon our first entry into the sanctuary
we were forcibly impressed with the be
nign, peaceful countenance of this gen
tleman, which so clearly bespeak a true
aud sincere follower of the Cross. Chris
tianity was indelibly impressed in every
lineament of his face, and “love of his
fellow-man” was imprinted upon hi s
brow.
He took his text from the 34th verse
of the 13th chapter of St. John: “ A
new commandment I give unto you—love
one another.” A text which I under
stand was a very npnropriatc one, as
wc learn there is some dissension among
the religious portion of our city, which
we hope this sermon will assist to heal.
It was delivered in a very eloquent man
ner, but, at the same time, the language
was so plain that a child could under
stand. It would be useless for us to at
tempt to report this sermon in full, as
wc would miss one of its greatest charms,
the delivery, liis description of the last
night upon earth ot our Saviour was
beautiful beyond comparison, and one
would almost feel as if he was transport
ed to the Holy Land and was a spectator
to the scene described, such was the
power of description by this eminent
divine.

llabertham County.
Dear Sir— We have just heard that
after three days close work and ninety-
seven ballots, the friends of the Hon.
Garnett McMillan, to save the unity of
the Democratic party of the district
consented to the nomination of his con
testant. We bad hoped to have the
presence and counsels of our honored
friend in the Federal Legislature.—
Failing in that, we want to have him
in the Legislature of our State. We
therefore, (one as the nominee, the
other as an independent candidate for
the State Legislature,) declare to you
our unconditional withdrawal from the
field. It is hardly two days till the
election. Please call a Convention at
once, that he may bo regularly nomi
nated, and our entire strength given to
him. Wc are, truly yours,
James H. Grant,

Upon leaving Church we inquired as
to the history of Mr. Lane, anil our in
formant recounted so many acts of l»c-
nevolcnce, and so much self-sacrifice by
this Christian gentleman, for the benefit
and salvation of his erring brothers, that
we were more titan ever charmed with
his sermon.
At the commencement of the late war
Mr. Lnnc had charge of a church in the
city of Millegeville. He received n large
salary, and had his every want supplied.
He was loved and revered by his little
flock, and he felt toward them the deep
and sincere love known only to the
Christian. They were like his children
and to part from them would grieve him
os much as if they were his own family.
But when the clarion of war summoned
our gallant soldiers to the fiicld he did not
allow liis ministerial garb to protect him
from the tempest of war; on the con
trary, be left bis borne, his church, his
salary, and went to the field of action;
Hon. Garnett McMillan—
My Dear Sir: Mr. Grant and
Col. Whitehead have withdrawn from
tiie canvass. Mr. Fuller is no longer
a candidate. Your return, therefore,
to the Legislature, will be accomplish-
ed by general acclaim. As Chairman
of the Executive Committee, I sug
gest a mass meeting of our citizens, to
be called immediately through mess-
engers, and your formal nomiuation.
Your friend, with great respect,
M. M. Richard, on.
My Dear Richardson: Your note is
the cleverest thing I have known, un
less it be the withdrawrl of my friends.
I will see them, each in person, and
tell them my exceeding gratitude.
My work in the courts will not let
me be a candidate again. From the
men who have given place, a good
Representative can be secured,
thank you and them, and other citi
zens, very many, who also have speken
My love for Habersham, her people
and her interests, will be as lasting as
my life.
Your friend, ever,
G. McMillan.
