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-” 1 badly broken. Medley.—Our attention has been I several times attracted to this fine horse, |the property of Messrs. Cnnn & Ileayes. IHc i* a beautiful dark bny with mane and |tail black as night, lie is full sixteen liandx high and boosts its pure blood as |any horse in the State— ' In sooth, he It a tnbje , 1e cd.V J r-■ ' ® » o'# o nil look,, a, though the speed of thought were in his lirnt.s. > liis form near perfection ns it 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 time and money to its support, and cer tainly deserve the thanks of the commu nity. They are all energy and indus- Mr Atkinson has sold the Southern Banner, to Messrs. T. W. and T. L, Grant. There will be no change in its politics.— Greensboto Herald. You are mistaken Mr. editor, put on your specks and look again at our names. \Ve never said ought against you, what do you want to give us an ugly nickname for, wc are strangers here, and arc working hard to build up a good name, and you are try ing to spoil it all by calling us Grant. We are not one hit like Grant, wc dont smoke segtirs, we dor.t drink whiskey punches often, and no body ever gives us anything. So take it back friend— take it back.

Box 449, Atlanta. 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.” We publish the correspondence in which he declines a seat in the Legis lature ; WHISKERS VS.

That of itsclt will 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 properly named going it blind. 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. M. M. Itiehardson, E<q., Chairman Democratic Executive Committee of 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, J. B.

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.
