Where love enrobed in aniilee la found.
And warps tho spirit with ita spell.
I would not seek excitement’s w)>irl.
Where pleasure wean her tinsel crown
And passien’s biUowa upward curl,
’Neath hatred’s darkly gathering frown.
The dearest boon from Ileavcn abore,
Is bliss which brightly haUows home;
'Tis sunlight to the world of lore,
And liie’s pure wine without its foam.
There issympathy of heart.
Which consecrates the social shrine—
Robs grief of gloom, and doth Impart
A joy of gladness all divine.
Let others seek in wealth or fame
A splendid path whereon to tread ;
I’d rather wear a lowlier name,
With lore’s enchantment round it shed.
Fame’s but a light to gild the grare,
And wealth can nerer calm the breast;
But lore, a halcyon on llte’s ware
Hath power to sooth its strifes to rest.

RELIEF FIRE COMPANY, NO.
Last Monday night wc, in company
with Chief Engineer Luckie, paid this
excellent colored organization a visit,
and were pleased to see such an effi
cient, able-bodied set of men. Their
meeting was conducted with order and
decorum, and the members appeared
to feel great pride in their company,
which is certainly commendable.
At their request, Mr. Luckie made
them a few "remarks, in which he spoke
of their efficiency, promised to use his
utmost endeavors to get them a better
engine and more comfortable quarters,
said he intended to have them new
caps and belts, and recommended that
their Company give a .ball to assist in
raising means.
Madison Davis, former Captain, re
plied, and said he knew if Mr. Luckie
tried half as hard to get them a better
engine as he fought against their party
in the late election, he would be cer
tain to succeed. He said he did not
condemn Mr. L.’s political course,
though, for he was an American, but
respected him for sticking to the Dem
ocratic party. He proposed for the
Company to let politics and speeches
alone until the next election, and at
tend to their duties as firemen.
A motion was made and carried to
divide the Company into three sections,
so ns to better apportion its strength at
fires.
We would respectfully suggest to our
City Father the importance of famish
ing this efficient Company with better
machines and quarters. There are no
more able or willing firemen in the
State than this colored Company, and
we think our city should show its ap
preciation of their services by fixing
them comfortable.

“Sugar-Cured” Dried Beef & Sausage
We paid this enterprising firm a visit
last Saturday, and were surprised to
see such an immense stock of goods.
We were carried through the entire
establishment, by the polite and enter
prising proprietors, and were mystified
to see such a choice nnd extensive as
sortment of everything in their line.
When you enter their store from
College avenue, you are struck with
the artistic manner in which the shelves
are decorated with canned goods. They
keep a fresh assortment always on
hand. ’
On the right is their dry goods de
partment. Iu this will he found al
most any article in that line you want,
of the best quality, which are sold very
low. In this department they keep a
superb stock of hoots and shoes.
In the rear part of the first build
ing will he found the “good things of
life.” Here are every conceivable ar
ticle in the grocery line, arranged in
the nicest order. The truth is, we do
not believe it is in the power of men to
keep such perfect order, but strongly
suspicion them of getting the assist
ance of some lady to direct their man
agement.
We now pass entirely through the
principal store and enter their ware
house, a new building recently erected,
which joins their store. Here we find
a long room, piled from floor to ceiling
with heavy groceries—hundreds of bar
rels and sacks of flour of the choicest
brands; sacks of coffee, of all sorts;
barrels of sugars, and just anything
else you want.
Wc now descend into their cellar,
where they keep their, syrups, liquors,
&c. This they keep stocked with the
finest brands of liquors, wines, bran
dies, gins, ales, beers, ciders, and any
thing els# in the drinkable line you
want. Besides, here will be found mo
lasses and-syrups, of all kinds.
They have a little nook cut off in
the upper floor, where they keep their
stock of bottled liquors.
After a thorough invasion of their
establishment, we drew around the
stove, took one of those superb cigars
kept by them, and entered into conver
sation with the members of this firm.
There is not a finer-looking set of men
in Georgia than areTalmndges and the
Hodgsons. They are of that stout,
able-bi>died, genial class that you read
of in ancient history. You rarely see
such men now-a-days. Besides their
physical power, th6y are sociable, kind
and accommodating, and has the nack
of making a frieud of every acquain
tance. ‘ In fact, we never saw men we
liked better on so short an acquaint
ance. They are gentlemen in every
sense of the word.
Being of a naturally inquiring ture
of mind, we inquired of Mr. Talmadge
the originator of this model establish
ment, as to how he chanced to be so
fortunate as to build up such a store,
and was astonished to be informed that
he started his store six years ago on a
capital of only fifty cents, and with his
indomitable energy, industry and per
severance, brought his business to the
status it has reached.
We cheerfully recommend this firm
to our patrons, and advise our country
friends to give them a call before leav
ing Athens.
Ladies making their own purchases
will find this one of the cleanest and
neatest stores in the State, situated on
a quiet street, and some of the best
looking men in the country in it.
The Immortal “J. N.”—We re
ceived a letter from “J. N.,” stating
that he would address us on Thursday
evening next, the 30th ihst. We
have never had.the honor of hearing
the Philosopher ourself, but we let our
brother of the Aberdeen (Miss.) Ex
aminer speak for us:
“We are honored with a communi
cation from the Tin mortal “ J. N.,”
the world renowned Philosopher, who
lias traversed the continent, laboring
in the cause of truth and national re-
coucilation, in which he magnani
mously offers to lecture before our
people and ‘raise tho veil,’ on Thurs
day night the 8th of February, at the
Court House. Let there he a crowd
ed house on the occasion—let the hotel
resign its ' inmates, the hearthstone
give up its votaries, the office send
forth its tenants, and the pavement be
silent save when they resound with
the multitude hurrying to the lecture
room. “ Flowers have their time 4o
fale,” etc., but thine appointed time to
lecture should control all other periods
and engagements, O! immortal above
all mundane creatures, pecnc.ss “J N.”
Street Crossing.—We are glad to
see our energetic City Council arc hav
ing many nice crossings built. This
is a most commendable work, and we
hope they will not “ become weary of
well doing,” but keep on with the good
work until our citizens can cross any
where in the city without being lost in
the mud.
Just Arrived—A fresh stock of
newly canned Tomatoes, Corn and
Green Peas, at Talmadge, Hodgson
& Co’s.
Subscription List.—We had the
pleasure of looking at the subscription
list to get a Steamer to-day. We see
on it the names of many of Athens’
best Firemen, aud to our astonishment,
we find that they are the most liberal
givers. Do not understand by this
that we did not expect these unselfish
boys to give, such is not the case. We
know they would give, but we can not
believe that the property-holders of
Athens will allow it.
Shade TnEnsA'-Some of our citi
zens are having young trees planted in
front of their lots. There are some
negroes from the country who make it
their business to furnish and set out
young trees, and charge for their work
a very reasonable price. We would
advise our friends to mind what kind
of trees are imposed upon them, as we
see some are setting ont the sweet-gum,
which is neither a handsome' nor a
durable tree. The water oak is quite
pretty, and makes a most delightful
shade.
Personal.—We had the pleasure
of a call on Thursday last, from Mr.
Milburn, a young gentleman connected
with the CoUegiane, an excellent paper
published by the students connected
with the State-University. We are
glad the Co'lrgiate lias been revived.
We wish it success, and take much
pleasure in placing it on our exchange
list. Mr. Milburn is a fine-looking,
quiet, unassuming young gentleman.
His manners are pleasing, and his
countenance denotes talent. We will
tend. "
We do not propoSe lo give a lengthy
report of. the affair, for both our time
and space forbids that we should.
At about 8 o’clock we found our
selves at this “ seat of pleasure,” and
procuring a good stand, cast our eyes
over the assembled crowd.
We recognized many of our young
friends, of the male persuasion, promi
nent among whom were, Messrs. Rich
Roe, Johnny Moore, Win. and R.
Christy, Charlie and Alnzo O’Farrell,
Leibler, and many others, whose
names have escaped our memory.
They were most fantastically arrayed,
and were just the crowd of boys to
make any party a grand success.
We, at this request of the ladies, will
not call names, hut try to designate
them by their style of dressing:
First, a young lady, with, “ checks
like roses,” at present boarding in our
city, ap paired to be a most attractive
magnet, inasmuch as she drew around
her the best looking young men pres
ent. She was arrayed in a ring-streak-
ed-and-spotted-brown dress, a white
apron and red bow. She was extreme
ly graceful in her bearing, aud danced
with great ease.
The “ Fairy Sisters,” the elder
wearing a pink and the younger a
green bow, attracted much attention
by their pleasant smiles, charming con
versation, and graceful dancing. They
were dressed very plain and neat, but
We are sure two such charming young
ladies would ornament any dress, no
matter how coarse £t fabric.
Still another young lady, one of the
acknowledged belles of Athens, appear
ed in a brown striped dress, and wore
a red bow and white apron. She, like
her charming cousin present, has that
fresh, rosy complexion, which so much
adds to our fair ones.
A young lady—temporarily sojourn
ing in Athens—appeared iu a light
dress aud white wreath. She was sim
ply charming, and, we learn, cativated
one poor fellow so completely that he
contemplates suicide if she docs not
give him some hope.
Two handsome young ladies,’
checked dresse.s, attracted much atten
tion, by their pleasant and sociable
disposition. They were sisters.
One of the most graceful and charm-
g ladies of Athens, appeared in a
light dress and red bow. She was one
of the most exquisite dancers we have

it is at all times pleasant to speak or
write of good, substantial men—men
who arc strictly reliable iu word and
deed. Such are the gentlemen of the
above named firm, and we therefore
invite particular attention to their
advertisement. It will be seen that
they keep on hand all tho standard
Fertilizers—the Carolina, Whann’s
Raw Bone Superphosphate, Bahama,
Dickson Compound. —\Ve call aL
ten tion to the communication of Messrs.
England & Orr. It shows what Fer
tilizers are doing for the Country.
Now is the time for farmers to come
forward, purchase the fertilizers and
more than double their crops this year.
Mr. Burton Rucker, of Banks Coun
ty, who beat Mr. Aaron Crow of Clark
County, authorises us to say that last
year he planted one acre in cotton, fer
tilized it with Dickson’s Compound,
and made 2700 lbs.- Seed Cotton, 900
lbs. lint.- Why don’t all the farmers
come to us anti get the Dickson Com
pound?
England & Oku, Agents,
Garden Seed.—Doctors Longs &
Billups have a large supply of the very
best of garden seed on hand, at their
Drug Store. It is unnecessary to re
commend these seed, for every body
know that this firm keep no articles
but what is of the very be3t. When
our country friends visit Athens, they
had better give them a call and lay in
a supply. They will find fresh and
ill
Paragon, Star Ammoniated Bone and j P ure sccd t0 take home - Such as wi
Bradley’s Superphosphate. Anv other ! not disa PP° int them ^ the summer,
fertilizer desired, they will immediately but »PPll their tuhles with vegetables

J. II. Carlton. —As will • be
examining our advertisement*; this gen
tleman proposes to furnish planters and
farmers with a variety of the best of Fer
tilizers. Mr. Carlton is one among our
most worthy young men. He is modest,
unassuming and gentlemanly in his
deportment; Suffice it to say, h'eftthe
sou of Dr. Joseph Carlton, and is ic eve
ry respect worthy the name he boars.—
We wish him success’in his new enter
prise. He can be found at Dr. King'*

Fiendish
ever seen. ' Wfe fear our friend Johnny
will have to be watched if she gives
him “ the mitten” as we overheard him
muttering something about “love—
suicide—Oconee,” etc. We don’t
blame him, for if we were rejected by
so’ charming a young lady, even ice
would contemplate something des]>er-
ate.
The witty and sociable Miss-
appeared in a brown dress and a
red how, she added much to the pleas
ure of the occasion by her plea-ant
and happy manner.
In fact, the whole affair was a com
plete success. livery- thing passed off
pleasantly, and the dancers chased the
hours with busy feet uutil the “ wee
sma’ hours of morn” bid them return
home.
In conclusion, we would respectfuly
ask, uhy did our handsome young
friend R exchanged coats? We
saw no necesity for it, as he was dress
ed very tastefully, aud his suit corres
ponded well. . / ' i
Atteuit—A short time
since, as two yoang ladies of this county,
living a short distance from the city,
were returning home nfbot, just beyond
the depot they were approached 1$’ two
mulatto iuen, who came out ot the pine
thicket, and ordcred.to stop. One of the
ladies, with great presence Qf mind,ran
her hand in a basket that hung upon her
arm, as if about to draw a pistol—imd
informed the fiends that the first one vtfio
attempted to arrest their progress Would
be instantly shot. The cowardly pob 1
troons immediately fled, and thus tho
young ladies escaped a most terriblo
fate. If such, conduct commences-in

mer, the mechanic or the house-keeper
can desire. Their Ware-House is strict
ly fire-proof. It combines everything
that is necessary and requisite to make
a ware-house exactly what it ought to
be. We noticed in it a fine lot of
Lime and Salt; they have also order
ed a car-load of Hay, which will have
arrived by, the time we go to press.
Leaving the ware-house,- you enter
their large store-rooms, in which will
be found beautiful dry goods for ladies
as well as gentlemen. We noticed a
large supply of checked homespuns of
beautiful patterns, manufactured at
Mr. Bloomfield’s factory, and hand
some woollen jeans manufactured at
the same place. We also noticed a
fine lot of sole and upper leather, sad
dies and bridles of the best quality;
also, leather collars, trace chains, <£c.
They keep - the Fire-fly segar, a mild
and delightful article; Coats’ thread, of
all sorts and sizes; Canned oysters,
and all groceries usually kept in such
store 0 . Their prices are as low as they
can afford. They buy quantities of
Cotton, and will always exchange goods
for Shingles or any country produce.
Our country friends may rest assured
that in dealing with those gentlemen
that they are strictly upright and hon
est—no desire to take undue advan
tage of any one. As an evidence that;
they deal justly, they have done a very
large business since they have gone in
together, the first of this year. W«
want to see them prosper, for surely no
firm deserves public patronage more
than Hunter & Beusse. Anything
you want can be bought here, from a
silk dress to a bar of iron.
which they are disposing of very low.
Families aud country merchants will
be supplied at reduced rates. Do not
go to Augusta to buy your.seed, when
you can get the freshest from such
clever men as Messrs. Longs & Billups,
at such low prices, too.
Send to Talmadge, Hodgson & Co.
for your meal and Hominy, fresh
ground every day.
