OCAL NEWS
Just So.—A young lady of our ac
quaintance says “ its disgusting to turn
around to see what another girl has got
on and find her staring at you.
Just Arrived—A fresh stock of
newly canned Tomatoes, Corn and
Green Pea*, at Talmadge, Hodgson
& Co’s.
We Are Under Obligations to
Superintendent William Rogers for a
pass over the Central, South Western
and Macon and Western Railroads
tillFebuary 1st.,
No Go.—We came very near hav
ing the pleasure of chronicling a negro
fight in this issue, but they didn’t fight
“ worth a cent,” and the donations to
the city treasury for 1873 are still
short.
Look Out—“Whenever you see a
married man eating cloves, you may
be sure that he is' a cloven-footed tem
perance man. Eating cloves is a mean
way to cheat the wife he has cloven
to.”
That’s Right.—Madame Rumor,
with authoritative positiveness, as
serts that too of our prettiestand sweet
estgirlsare preparing to take their vows
to love, honor and obey, sometime in
February*.
Burn Out Your Chimneys.—
Chief Engineer Luckie requests us to
say to the citizens of Athens, that du
ring the present wet spell of weather
the must have all of their chimneys
burnt out. He says that, during dry
weather, all chimneys that all set afire
whether by accident or otherwise, will
be certainly reported to Council, and
the occupants of the houses fined. Ver-
bum sap.
The Mule Trade.—Notwith
standing there is great demand for
mules in our market, the trade is not
very brisk. Owing to the scarcity of
money and the difficulty of obtaining
satisfactory acceptances, sellers are un
able to get their prices, and sales are
not as easy as they could -wish.
Planters are proceeding cautiously,
and are driving close bargains and well
calculated operations.
Prices range from 8140 to 8200, and
three sales out of four are effected on
acceptances.
Mayor’s Court.—His Honor, at
his last levee, disposed of the follow
ing cases:
In the case of Colonel Wharton and
Mr. J. Z. Cooper, the former was fined
five dollars and costs, and the latter
dismissed.
Several boys, up for disorderly con
duct, were dismissed after a reprimand
from His Honor.
The next case on docket was that of
David Thomas and John Towns, for
disorderly conduct. Dave was fined
five dollars and costs.
Fit for a King—Those “Magnolia”
Hams at Talmadge, Hodgson & Co’s;
Dinner at the Newton House.
—Tuesday last, by special invitation o
Mr. Cliuard, we took dinner at the
above named popular hotel. Every
thing was scrupulously neat and dean,
and prepared in the best manner. The
Newton is a first-class hotel, and is
kept by a gentleman thoroughly con
versant with the business. We cheer
fully recommend this house to the tra
velling public, who will find a good
table, comfortable rooms, attentive ser
vants, an obliging landlord, and mode
rate charges.
False Alarm and Fire.—A false
alarm of fire was given on Monday
last, at 5:35 o’dock. The alarm was
first started by the ringing of the new
bell for St. Mary’s Chapel.
Tuesday morning, at 8:15 o’dock,
a fire occurred in the building belong
ing to Mr. Bloomfield, next door to
our friend Jacobs. It was extinguish
ed before doing any damage.
Our noble firemen were promptly on
the spot, and were ready, if occasion
required, to fight the fire fiend as long
as they could stand.
Messrs. F. W. Lucas & Co., arc
now preparing for their spHng stock,
and calls on their debtors for what is
due them. They have in store one of
the most magnificent stocks of Dry
Goods ever brought" to this dty, and
will soon make a large addition of ele
gant spring goods. They keep noth
ing but the very best, aud still, strange
to say, sell os low as others who deal
in inferior articles.
ATHENS FIRE CO. HOPE, NO 1.
W6 had. the pleasure of attending,
last. Wednesday night,' a meeting of
this efficient organization. It was our
first, visit to them, but we were so
much pleased with everything we saw
that we, do not, intend it shall he our
last. Never, in our lives, did we see
a better disciplined, more gentlemanly
set of men assembled together. TVh
and every one appeared perfectly at
ease, but at the* same time had that
quiet dignity . about them wftjch so
much adds to. the standing of a compa
ny. Captain Bishop, that Prince of
Firemto, presides with «nSK tafte Sad i
dignity, and appeared to govern his
men by kindness.' Thete is no more
popular, man in Athena than this Cap
tain B., and we arc sure no one is
more intitlcd to the good will of a peo
ple than 'id the ffallaat leader of the
mefi who peril their health, lives, and
all to save’lbe homes, and property of
their fellow-citizens, and .neither ask
nor receive a farthing for it.

Austria-Virginia is the name of
one of the finest cigars that caD be
found this side of Cuba. They are
shaped very much after the fashion of
a pea-pod, with a straw in the centre.
This takes away all the offensive por
tion of the tobacco, and renders the
smoke cool and pleasant. One will
last fully two hours, thus rendering it
the cheapest as well as the best cigar.
Messrs. Gailey & Barry have a large
stock of them on hand, which they are
selling very low.
Delicious Perfume.—We are in
debted to Messrs. R. T. Brumby &
Co. for a bottle of thWinest Cologne
we have ever seen. It is the pure ar
ticle, and will hold its scent after the
garment perfumed with it has been
thoroughly washed. They have one of
the finest lots of perfumery on hand
in the State, comprising all sorts and
flavors. Ladies would find it to their
interest to call on these gentlemen
when they are laying in their toilet
supplies.
A Good Idea.—Messrs. Kalvarin-
ski & Leibler have had a set of boxes
arranged in their store, very much re
sembling post office boxes, where par
ties buying a box of cigars can place
their purchase, look them up, keep the
key, and get them whenever they wish
to smoke. This is a great convenience
to the purchaser, as he can do retail
smoking at a wholesale price.

A Mule attached to a buggy’ became
frightned at some of the ugly men cn
College Avenue, last Saturday, and
attempted to run away. Some uglier
man, however, got in front and scared
the poor thing so much that it couldn’t
run.
Election for Magistrates and
Bailiffs.—The following is the cor
rect return of the election for the above
named officers:
Boggs 275
Taylor 166
Fuller 21
Towns. 267
Baker 265
Green.—A respectable appearing
man about 35 years of age, evidently
from one of the surrounding towns, was
on his way to the Postoffice yesterday,
bringing a large quantity of canceled
postage stamps to sell. It seems that
somebody had told him that such
were bought there at a small discount
on their original value. His collection,
he said, was the result of a number of
months’ labor by his daughter, and
some comprised several hundreds of various
denominations. When informed that
he had been badly imposed upon, he
left with a sorrowful looking counte
nance.
Garden Seed. — Messrs. R. T.
runihy & Co. advertises a full stock

a arrived when we should begin to

;etables.

he received, until February 1st, for
furnishing five hundred cords of sea
soned pine wood to the 2Vthens Factory.
Parties can now have an excellent op
portunity of disposing of their old field
pines to great advantage.
Melancholy.—A young man out
West recently died in consequence of
relinquishing the habit of chewing to
bacco. Patrons of the weed will be
admonished by his sad fate to avoid
the pernicious counsels of those who
declaim against its use, and go to G.
Hauser for vour tobacco.
Burning of the Danielsville
Jail.—This jail wa^destroyed by fire
on Saturday night last. It appears
that two prisoners. were therein incar
cerated, and that they attempted to
release themselves by' burning the
wooden frame that held the window
gratings, and being unable to extin
guish the flames, the whole structure
was soon in a blaze. The sheriff, af
ter much difficulty, extricated the pri
soners, but found it impossible to save
the building. The negro who fired the
building was placed therein only four
day3 previous, upon a charge of bur
glary and house-breaking, and when
placed in prison had four matches in
his pocket, with which he accomplished
the deed. They thought they could
burn the grating and keep the fire
smothered with their bedding so as to
loosen the bars, but not having suffi
cient water on hand, the burning of
the whole building was the result. If
the sheriff had been five minutes later,
the prisoners would have both been
burned; but unfortunately, he arrived
a little too soon. The jail was a wood
en building, and h^d been built forty-
four years, still it was very strong and
secure. The prisoners were sent to
Elbert jail for safe keeping. We are
indebted to Gapt. Juo. N. Montgome
ry, of Fort Lamar, for the above par
ticulars.
In behalf ot the Fire Department of
Athens, we respectfully appeal to our
citizens to aid us in getting a machine
with which to lighten our labor and at
the same time make it more effective
in saving property. We need a
Steamer and better Hose. You have
as good a body of-Firemen as any city
on earth, of this size. They are ever
ready to respond to the alarm of Fire.
When you are at your home on the
coldest aijd darkest night, and hear
the alarin Sell sounding, you little know
of the hardship that your gallant Fire
men are undergoing. They drag their
heavy, clumsy machine to the place of
danger, and then, when nearly fainting
with fatigu* 1 , they * .come do wn on the
brakes” in a manner that should win
for them the admiration of every good
citizen in Athens. We have seen
them black with smoke, their clothes
torn and muddy, their hands blistered,
their whole system tired, still laboring
on to save property in which they held
no other interest except as good citi
zens hold for the place they live in.
We do hbpe that our citizens will
not wait to be asked to contribute, but
will as voluntarily come forward, and
subscribe as cheerfully, as our noble
Firemen go ’forth to save your j roper-
ty. Show your Firemen that you ap
preciate their services. Show them
that they are not looked upon as blanks
in your city organization, and they will
almost sacrifice their lives to prevent
Athens becoming a blank upon the
map of Georgia.

Srns—You will confer a favor by
publishing in your paper the following
statistics collected from official sources
and from private correspondence, a
copy of which was also furnished the
Southern Watchman. We desire t 1 a'
the citizens of Athens shall know what
liberality other cities aud counties have
shown towards Colleges, and would
also mention in connection, that the
large donations made by these cities
were not regarded as gifts of charity,
but as valuable investments for the
general good of the community.
The Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege, located about or.e and a half miles
troxn Amherst, received donations to
the amount of §100,000. Of this
amount, the town of Amherst, though
already possessing a fine College, and
thougli having a papulation less than
that of Athens, gave 875,000, to be
used in buildings.
The Illinois rVgricultural College
received from the citizens of Cham
paign County, iu which the College's
located, donations in land, buildings
and bonds to the amount of 8400,000.
Of this amount, the County of Cham
paign gave 8100,000 in ten per cent,
bonds.
Tne Maryland Agricultural College,
located near Washington City, receiv

A Noble Lady.—One of the new
Jy married ladies of Athens, this week,
most gallantly subscribed $50 to the
steamer that Chief Engineer Luckie is
bound to have for the Athens firemen.
She said she highly appreciated the
gallantry of our firemen, and thought
It the duty of every one to assist them
in any way they could.

Truly Benevolent.—We learn
that Mr. Johu White, one of our old
est and best citizens, sent two bales cf
factory doth to Mayor Pittard last
week, to be distributed among the poor
of the city. One bale is for the color
ed and one for the white people. Mr.
White does not know that we are pos
sessed of this fact, for wc obtained our
information from a party who is not at
all connected with the charity. Heis a
man who truly obeys the Scripture in
“ not letting his left hand know wHat
his right hand doeth.” There is no
man in our city who has done more for
the poor than Mr. White.
The Week of Prayer.—The
meetings at the several houses of
worship where services have been held
in accordanco with the recommenda
tion of the Evangelical Alliance, have,
we are pleased to say, been very well
attended. The services are both in
teresting and impressive good will
1 doubtless result therefrom.
Council Chamber,
Athens, Ga., Jan. 9th, 1873
A called meeting of Council was

Call on a man of business,
During the hours of business,
Transact your business,
Then go about your business,
And let him attend to his business.

LIST OF FREIGHT
“Pay What Thou Owest.”—We
regret to hear complaints from our
Merchants that many of our substan
tial farmers, blessed in the past year’s
profitable farming, are yet unmindful
of their obligations to those who, when
the strain was upon them, gave them
help in attninining their success. This
is. by no means a general failing, but
there are instances enough to make
some of our Merchants sad over their
credit account. This should not be,
and a notice of this kind will be enough,
we are satisfied, to bring matters up
square even to the settlement of little
dues to the Printer.
The Fine Bar and Billiard Sa
loon of R. II. Lampkin.—We can
boast of as fine and as well kept Bars
as any city in the Union. Mr. R. H.
Lampkin has recently bought out the
interest of Mr. Kittle in the magnifi
cent establishment owned by them,
and lias added thereto until he has
made it fully equal to any similar es
tablishment in the country. He has
ou hand an Immense stock of the very
best of every kind of liquors—whis
keys, brankies, wiucs, gins, rums, cor
dials, and just anything else you can
call for. If you don’t find good liquors
at Bob Lampkiu’s, why you need not
go any further, for you may just sei it
down as a fact that they have qu J
making it. But let them quit, Lamp
kin has that cellar of his piled to the
ceiling with the “real stuff’,” enough to
last a many a year to coiue... He has
all kinds and brands on hand, and
sells very low. So we say to our
frseuds, if you want a good drink, just
eall on Bob Lampkin, and you will be
sure to get it.
You will also find three splendidly
kept Billiard Tables, where gentlemen
cau engage in this interesting game.
How he did it.— Last week, in
one of the shops of this city, one of the
boys who are always examining every
thing he sees, went to inspect a small
circular saw that was in motion, which
very unexpectedly split his thumb
up about half way. It was tied up

ted the young misobief as to how he
happened to lot it so catch him. The

Pomeroy’s Democrat has made
its appearance in one of the neatest
suits of new type that graces any
journal. Since the election, the circu-
ati on of tho Democrat has been in
creasing at an extraordinary rate. Its
queer, quaint and vigorous editors, its
undiluted Democracy, its fearless ex
posure of Radical wrosgs, 8na its just
denunciation of that cowardly policy
that has well nigh ruiued the Demo
cratic party, makes it just such a jour
nal as the great mass take pleasure in
crusing. For the present year the
Democrat promises to be better than
ever, but we don’t believe it can. In
addition to the paper, which is $2.50
per year, each subscriber receives a
ebromo, fully worth twice the price of
the paper, and .the paper is worth twice
the price charged for it. Address
