domination for Mayor anil Aldermen
We again publish the nominees for
Mayor and Alderman of Athens. We
have heard no objection urged to the
ticket. If we succeed in electing them
our city will no doubt be well govern
ed. It has been so heretofore, and we
trust law and order will prevail in
future. The people have selected, we
bear a very good ticket. They could
not have done otherwise, as we believe
all those before them were good men
and true. We seriously hope there
will be no opposition to the present
ticket. Let those whose friends were
defeated in the nomination, unite witli

house was about two miles from the

Fine Iifk.—Capt. Thomas Daniel
laid on our table a few days since a
phial of ink, with the request that we
would give it a fair trial. We have
done so, and unhesitatingly pronounce
it superior to any we have ever used.
It flows freely in the pen. A steel one

without ever coroding. It is r ( he

We have found it very hard to obtain

Summey & Newton.—In passing
the store of these gentlemen a few days
we noticed a lot of those fine
two-horse wagons had just been re
ceived. We understand they Bell read
ily. We have talked with several who
have purchased them. They express
ed themselves highly pleased. Any
one wanting a first rate plantation
wagon had better call at their store and
take a look.
THE CIRCUS.
We are indebted to Mrs. Calhoun
the wife of our friend who runs the En
gine from Athens to Union Point, for
a delightful slice of Wedding Cake.—
Some of -the ladies of this- place seem
determined to spoil us with their kind
ness. Well! we always did love the
fair sex, we can’t help it. We never
knew one to do wrong. If they hap
pen to err, its the fault of some brute
of a husband. Wc would not injure
oue of them in thought, word or deed.
We would be glad to see Woodkull

color and pattern it should be, saying
black suits my complexion best, and
black it shall be. By this time he had
reached the church, and found to his
surprise the church closed, everything
dark, and nary lady to be found.
Some gentleman seeing the “ Maiden

her snfe home. Our friend left the
church singing most dolefully “ Oh !
I’m a used up man.
Calabash.—Our attention was call
ed a day or two since to a large Cala

owner brought some of . the seed to

Eitzooty.—-This disease is in our
city. We understand there is a drove
of horses here, fourteen of which have
it good. The following is said to be a
remedy for this disease.
‘ A fever pill, composed of cam
phor, nitre, ginger and flax seed meal,
at the beginning of the disease, is use
ful in moderating Ohe fever, and na
ture seems to point to the repetition of
it afterwards, when there is a disposi
tion to sweating. Nothing likewise is
found so successfully to mitigate the
cough as a gentle opiate at night”
Meeting of Fire Company.—We
regret our inability to accept the kind
invitation of Capt Bishop to attend
the meeting of the Fire Company last
night. It would have afforded us great
pleasure to do so, but we were com
pelled to be in our office until a late
hour in the night. The Captain has
been very kind in asking us to the
meetings, but unfortunately for us,
they take place on Thursday nights,
at which time we are generally very
busy. *
True to appointment John Robin
son's circus appeared in oar city. We
peyer saw a people more eager for a
show. As soon as the ticket office was
opened crowds rushed to it to purchase
their entrance to the canvass. - The
streets were crowded from an early
hoar in the morning with scores of
whites, horses and mules, niggers and
mares. About one o’clock the doors
of the Menagerie were opened, and in
rushed the crowd, to gaze, wonder and
ask questions. The first thing pre
sented itself to view was a huge ele
phant, then came the camels, then a
three horned ox, with various other
animals in the ring- The cages con
tained a great variety of animals, birds,
<£c., among other things the stuffed
skin of a Giraffe, (not so stated in the
bills.) The menagerie was excellent,
containing numerous rare sights, many
that had never been seen here before.
After viewing the animals, we entered
the circus tent, the grand entry soon
made its appearance—it was anything
but grand, after riding a short time in
the ring they disappeared. This was
followed by a single rider, who fell
from his horse nearly every time lie at
tempted to leap a canvas or jump
a hoop. We are not disposed to do the
cquistrian injustice, and think the falls
were more the fault of the horse than
the rider, the horse appeared to have
the fashionable disease, and moved too
sluggish and slow for the quick motion
of the rider.
Then came a very pretty girl, she
rode well, her figure was fine, and she.
exceedingly graceful in every move,
she leaps the canvas with great activ
ity and ease. The leaping and vault
ing of the company cannot be excelled.
The performance of the little dogs sur
prised the spectators, it was well done.
It was stated in the ring that eight
thousand tickets had been sold for the
mornings performance, the canvas was
crowded so full that it was unpleasant,
there was not a square foot of ground
unoccupied. There was at least four
thousand spectators, some say five
thousand.
The company performed in the even
ing to about fifteen hundred or two
thousand persons. Mr. Reaves kindly
offered us a seat at night in his omni
bus to ride over to the Depot to again
witness the show, for which he will ac
cept our thanks, his omnibus is very
comfortable, and the team a fine one,
particularly the off leader, a gay, gal
lant horse. There was seated in the
omnibus two very' pretty and interest
ing young ladies, to whom we are in
debted for passing a delightful evening.
The night performance was about the
same as in the afternoon. Some com
plain that Robinson did not cany out
the promised programme. The museum
advertised was not shown at all, it is
said it was not taken from the Railroad
cars. We were sorry’ the performance
was not better, we have known Robin
son for many years, he is a Southern
man and a clever gentleman, and we
must do his company the justice to say
they’ were strictly ladies and gentlemen.
In fact we never saw a travelling
company, whose manners and general
deportment were more pleasant and
agreeable. The equestrianism not be
ing better, was probably, owing to the
sickness of the horses. We have en
deavored to give an honest and candid
statement. “ Nothing extenuate, nor
aught set down in malice.”

25th, 1872.-—An examination has been
made under my direction by Messrs.

students in this Laboratory, of several

Athens, to determine the temperature
at which the vapor arising from thfi
Oil, .when mixed with air, would ex
plode. One sample of “Aitral Oil*
and six samples of “ Kerosene ”, were
examined, with the following result: :

Ty the official regulations of the U.
S. Government, such Oils are con
demned as dangerous that explode be
low the temperature of 110° F.
It would be well for our merchants
to exercise great care in the purchase
of these fluids.
Very respectfully,
H. C. WHITE,

We learn that a merchant, or some
one else, was arrested in Atlauta, for
selling oil that would not bear the test,
and was fined one hundred dollars.
A MAS SHOT.
Capt. Jeremiah Holms, an old
mariner, died Saturday in Stonington.
He sprat most ' of his life at sea and
was captured several times by priva
teers. He commanded the guns a
Stonington when it was besieged if
the British in 1814, and through his
means the floet was driven off.
The total number of Students in the
State College, this term is 127. Their
average age on regeristing was 18 years
and 9 months.
Each county in the State is entitled
to send one student to this institution,
so we understand. Those counties
not represented had better take ad
vantage and send a young man for
ward. The advantages to them are
incalculable. •
Large Store.—In passing down
Broad street the other day we noticed
the store of Jacobs & Micheal greatly
enlarged. The partition we spoke of
not long since has been removed.—
They now occupy a wide and lengthy
room. One capable of holding an im
mense quantity of goods. They tell us
they intend to fill it. We see too they
have employed Mr. Franklin as a
clerk, about as good an investment as
they could make. He is a business
man, and one well calculated to carry
custom to a store-

An Epizootic Warning.—A man
by the name of Becker, who resides
near Quaryville, N. Y., owned a couple
of horses that had the distemper. In
cleaning out the mangers the other day
the virus came in contact with a flesh
wound on his hand. In a short time
his hand and arrae became so terribly
inflamed and swollen that they had to
be amputated. Soon after the ampu
tation he died. Persons owning horses
cannot exercise too much prudence in
this respeet, as the matter from this
distemper is rank poison to the human
system.
Tiie Chickasaws.—St. J^ouit,
November 22.—Reliable advices from
the Chickasaw Nation says that the
Legislature of the nation, which has
just adjourned, passed a resolution re
questing President Grant to carry into
effect that part of the treaty of 1866,
between the United States and the
Choctaws and Chickasaws, which pro
vides that when the Indians desire it
the lands heretofore held in common
may be divided among the individual
members of tribes.
This is considered by those best in
formed regarding matters in the Indian
Territory as the most advanced step
towards civilization ever known by any
ot the Indian tribes, and it is thought
by a great many that should the Gov
ernment not insist on any Territorial
organization oilier than that now ex
isting, many <*f the tribes will follow
that of the Chickasaws.

something over $30,000 in goods which

The Atlauta Constitution after giv
ing some items of news from our paper
says:
We regret that we fail to receive the
Georgian regularly, as we regard it
as oue among the best of our weekly
exchanges.
Thank you brother for the compli
ment, we will try hard in future to
send you the Georgian regularly.
Kind words from such papers as the
Constitution are very gratifying. We
will endeavor to publish a paper that
will meet with the approval of all.
That Paduch Sensation.—We
learn from good authority that the
particulars ofthe case, given in a late
number of the Kentuckian, were' cor
rect, and that the man, accompanied
by the girl and her mother, left in a
boat and went down the river. The
girl was only fourteen years old, and
the man who committed the awful
crime is a married min, and one ofthe
wealthiest men in the city. While
he can escape public vengeance, the
poor girl must be forever stamped by
public opinion as unfit to associate
with nice people, and the man who
caused her disgrace can walk God’s
green earth with a high head, ready to
pounce upon some other innocent, girl
and drag her down to degradation and
ruin. If a poor man had have been
guilty of such a terrible crime he
would have been suspended from the
limb ofthe nearest tree.—Ky. Demo

Griffin was excited this evening No
vember 27th, by the reception of news
that a “ difficulty” had occurred near
the city between Col. A. W. Walker
and two young men named Wells, be
tween whom a feud had existed for
sometime.' ‘ * “ • • •'
From all that can be learned, it ap
pears that Colonel Walker had started
on his Way homeward and was followed
by the brothers Well, who abused him
violently and finally threatened to
whip him. ''
Colonel Walker, it is said, made ev
ery effort to avoid trouble by remon
strating with the young men and urg
ing them to leave him alone. At
length the Messrs. Wells, alighting
from the boggy in which they were
seated, advanced towards Colonel
Walker, as if for the purpose of put-
ting into execution the threats of whip
ping him which they had already made.
As they approached him, Colonel
Walker drew a revolver and leveling
it, fired. The bullet struck Thomas
Wells, penetrating the bowels. Colo
nel Walker then leveled the weapon at
the oilier brother and pulled the trig
ger,- but fortunately it missed fire.—
The contestants then separated without
further bloodshed.
Young Wells was taken home where
be now lies in a very critical condition,
His. physicians have examined his
wound and pronounced it mortal, and
his death is expected at any moment,
To-night Judge Greene, who has
been holding court here, is reported to
have sent after Walker.
The tragic affair is deeply regretted
by all in this county, as all the parties
concerned were in fair standing in the
community.
Out or the Fire.—A Boston let
ter of the 17th says: The most inter
esting locality among the ruins to-day,
and one to which hundreds were at
tracted by the operations there in pro
gress, was the rear of the store of
Messrs. Shrcave, Crump & Low. Be
neath the sidewalk was a brick vault
fifteen feet long, ten feet wide and ten
feet deep, which contained between
$75,000 and $100,000 worth of silver,
including the altar service belonging
to Trinity Church, a portion of the
sacramental silver of the Brattle Square
Church, a service of silver presented
to Colonel William Aspinwall by the
merchants of London, whose names,
inscribed thereon, include those of
George Peabody, Baring Brothers, and
othera, a pitcher presented by Daniel
Webster to Peter Harvey, and other
mementoes, besides silverware belong
ing to the firm. The goods were placed
there after the fire was got under on
Summer street, the vault being con
siderCd the most safe place in the
neighborhood. When the bu
was blown up by the explosion of gas,
at least two hundred tons of granite
were piled upon the top of the vault.

in another picture she is seen with

The Richest Man in the World.
—The Khedive of Egypt is probably
the richest man in the world. His
yearly income is $50,500,000, and he
has twenty-five richly-furnished palaces,
within the walls of Cairo. He is vastly
more progressive than the Sultan, the
Turkish master; is rapily extending
his dominions, building railroads, and
making commercial improvements,
and will ultimately become indepeh-
det of Turkish dominion. He 1 is . at
present making arrangements for the
connection of a railroad up feo Nile
to Dongola, and thence acros* the
desert to Loudan, which country he
will make one of his own provinces.
It has been remarked of him that “the
Viceroy, upon any throne in Europe,
would be the greatest monarch of the
age.” He is not only a prince, but a
merchant, a capitalist, a statesman,
and a cultivator. He deeps only four
hours out of twenty-four, and at his
desk centre his railroads, steamship
lines, telegraphs, postal service, private
estates, sugar mills, cotton culture,
army, navy, and civil service.
Remedy for Horse Efizootie.—
14 We give the following recipe which
we find in fee Turf, Field and Farm,
furnished by a correspondent in Buffalo,
which has been tried with success and
pronounced a quick and speedy mode
of treating fee epidemic:
1. Feed warm bran mashes twice a
day, and take the liquor of boiled flax
seed to mix with the mash.
2. Twoounces of spirits of nitre, mix
ed with lukewarm water, one applica
tion daily.
3. A little pure whisky daily, to
stimulate, say a half pint.
4. Liniment for external applica
tion on throat—one-third hartshorn,
one pint sweet oil.
5. Sponge the nostrils with a solu
tion of salt and hot vinegar; also wash
the mouth with a solution of the same.
Blanket thoroughly and a little exer
cise daily. Wet the hay with vine-

In delivering the opinion, Judge
Learned said: . . ;
“ It is urged on fee part of the re
lator that this regulation of the board
is in violation ofthefou-teenthamend

States. This, prohibits the State from
making or enforcing any law which

board is to lie included in the words
“ any law,” what privilege, of a citizen
is abridged thereby ?. Certaiuly none,
unless every citizen has fee privilege of
clioo-ing to which school iu a city he
will, send his children. The relator
has equal common-school advantages
with other citizens. He dots not as
