TIIE VETERAN HATTER.
J. M. lIOLDBKOOK.
The name of J. M. Holdbrook is as
inseparably connected with Atlanta
as her own history with that or the
Empire State. Born in Fulton coun
ty, and having lived in tiie city for
twenty years, a brief review of his
life will prove not only interesting,
but beneficial to the young men of
the day.
HIS EARLY LIFE.
lii the spring of 1853 Mr. Holbrook,
then engaged in the vocation of farm
ing, accepted a situation in the dry
goods house of B. F. Botnar, receiv
ing as pay iiis board and clothing.
Shortly afterwards he engaged with
Robert Maugham, in the same busi
ness, on a salary of sl2 50 per month.
Continuing with him but a short
time, he was tendered a situation with
.las. Doane, merchant, at a salary of
$35. lit remained with Mr. Doane
until the spaing of 1856, when he was
employed by J. A. Taylor, of New
York, to take charge ol the first hat
store eve r established in Atlanta, re
mained with Mr. T. until 1858, when
that genil<jpnui failed. Mr. H. then
purchased the interest and
ESTABLISHED HIMSELF IN BUSINESS.
In 1859 lie commenced the manufac
ture of hats oil a small scale, in which
business he continued until 1868, at
which time his business had so in
creased that from 75 to 100 hands
were continually engaged in the man
ufacture of hats of every style and
grade. Mr. 11. was the first man that
ever manufactured a silk hat in Geor
gia
REMOVAL FROM ATLANTA.
Jn 18G1 Mr. M. moved hisfactory to
Mucon, Georgia, where tie remained
but a short time; removing from
there to Dawson, Georgia, where tie
continued until May iB6O, when he
came back to Atlanta, occupying a
portion oi'Er. Lawshe’sjewelry store,
until lie couid rebuild. The building
being completed in March, 18GG, lie
opened a large stock of tints, caps,
furs, Ac.; continued in both the
wholesale and retail business until
now.
STORE ROOM.
® Ilis store rooms on Whitehall
street, 100 feet long by 20 feet wide,
gives ample evidence of the success
that has attended his business.
THE FIRST FLOOR
of the building is used lor retail pur
poses, where the purchaser can select
from the varied assortment such an
article as lie desires.
THE SECOND FLOOR
is used for wholesale purposes, and is
well stored with every grade and va
riety of goods in this line, sufficient
to supply the immense demands of
trade.
The reputation that Mr. Holbrook
has established for honesty and fair
dealing, together with' his thorough
identity with the interests of ids cus
tomers, renders him truly the veter
an hatter of Atlanta.
RICE.
The following little article handed us by a
friend, contains some valuable suggestions,
which we hope will be considered by our agri
cultural friends. Rice growing is no untried
experiment iu this country, for we have long
since proven to our satisfaction, that much ol
our low-land, which is unlit for any other crop,
will produce this valuable crop in abundance
and to the greatest perfection. The great diffi
culty heretofore has beeu iu removing the
husk, and that has been obviated by the inven
tion of a simple machine, we hope our people
will cultivate extensively this excellent and
wholesome article of food:
SOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT RICE.
Every farmer should cultivate a patch ol rice
Miffieient, at least, for his own family use; and
if he will make the experiment, he will lind it
a valuable forage crop lor his stock. The val
ue and importance ol rice as an article ol lood
as well as of commerce does not seem to be
understood or appreciated. Resides being
more nutrieious and wholesome, it is less lia
ble to injury from insects while in the hull,
and more bushels to the acre can be grown
with less labor than any other grain.
There is scarcely a plantation in the Southern
Stales, where nee cauuot be grown, yet the
largest portion of the consumption of rice iu
this country is imported, ail the way from
Asia.
iu a favorable or wet seasou rice cau be
grown on auy dry or hilly land that will make
good corn, and can always be growm ou Hat
laud too wet for any other crop, aud will yield
Irorn HO to 40 bushels per acre.
It should be sown as early as practicable to
avoid lrost, iu drills say wO inches apart, so
that with a small plow or cultivator the weeds
and grass cau be kept down.
Asa linage crop it should be cut as soou as
in the milk. Remove Irorn the held, aud im
mediately with a small plow throw a little dirt
over the stubble, aud it will sprout uud give
you another crop equal to the first.
The primitive wooden mortal’ and ptwtlo,
heretuiore indisperisible for separatiug the
husks or hull from the keraal, aud the main
hindrance to the cultivation of rice ou a small
scale, is’now superseded by a cheap aud effec
tive Rice Uulkr, as simple as & temiiy cofioe

SUSAN EBERHART.
Spann, the wife murderer, of Web
ster county, has lately suffered the
just punishment of his execrable
crime, upon the gallows, with the
approving verdict of the whole com
munity, without a solitary exception.
The facts of the case render his crime
one of the most appalling, inhuman,
and inexcusable, which has ever yet
attracted public attention in Georgia.
A j!0-r, bed-ridden, afflicted, helpless
woman, and that woman his wife, af
ter several ineffectual attempts, was
at last brutally murdered by choking
her to death with a cord, by himself
and his accomplice in this hellish
deed, Susan Eberhart. Spann was
some fifteen years older than his wife;
.in process of time her health entirely
failed, for having been confined in
child-bed, and suffering from tiie dis
ease commonly known as milk-leg,
which caused one of her legs to be
amputated, she was ever thereafter
forced to go about on crutches, often
very sick’ and compelled to keep her
bed, wholly helpless and entirely de
pendent upon others in every respect.
Hers was a case which imperiously
demanded the care, not to say atten
tive affection, of her husband, and
which appealed so strongly to the
commonest sympathy, that her
neighbors visited and sat up with her
at night. On the very night of her
murder, this poor, helpless woman
was unable to sit up in her bed.—
Spann is said to be a powerful man,
strong, athletic, determined, remark
ably handsome, withal a professor of
religion, and a preacher of the gospel,
being a member of the Baptist church.
Instead of acting like a man with a
heart within him, much less like a
Christian preacher, and tenderly
watching over his poor, helpless, bed
ridden wife, lying motionless upon
her bed, without one solitary human
being, save her murderers, to hear
her pitiful but unheeded cries, what
dors he do? It seems that sometime
prior to this attrocious and horrible
murder, he had hired Susan Eber
hart, a young girl about sixteen years
old, the daughter of poor, ignorant,
but respectable people, to come and
work in the family, and live in his
house. She is represented as being
amiable, but very poor and very ig
norant. Spann furnished her with
clothing and trinkets, and by such
devices as a ski lful libertine would
employ, easily wins the too yielding
regard of his unfortunate victim, and
in a very little while accomplishes
her ruin by seducing her; the facts do
not show that she hesitated at all in
accepting his adulterous approaches.
Suffice ii to say, she becomes his wil
ling and satisfied mistress, there in
the hou.se which sheltered his poor,
bed-ridden, afflicted wife. As before
remarked, several attempts were
made by these two wretched crea
tures to murder Mrs. Spann, until at
length, no human being near, aw T ay
from all hope of being aided on her
part, or resisted on theirs, they delib
erately and wilfully, with set design,
coldly carried into execution, put the
helpless woman to death. Forthwith
they flee, the murderous husband and
his poor, deluded, and not less guilty
accomplice. From place to place,
and house to house, they roamed,
representing themselves to beman
and wife, Spann declaring to any
who knew him, that his wife was
dead, and that he and Susan had
married, and both of them agreeing
to, and joining in tiie same miserable
lie. in a few days, the murder hav
ing been made known, they are pur
sued and captured, carried back to
Webster county, tried and convicted
of murder, and sentenced to be hung.
The case was carried up to the Su
preme Court of the State, and the
sentence of the Court below ordered
to be carried out. Spann was in due
time brought to the gallows, and
willingly paid his life as a forfeit for
his unheard of crime. He leaves be
hind him a written statement, in
which, without pretending to excul
pate Susan Eberhart, lie expresses a
wish that she may not meet his fate
upon the gallows, and that she may
be happy. Many respectable and well
known gentlemen and ladies, some
of them distinguished lawyers, pre
sent petitions, and write letters to
the Governor, while a majority of
the Jury request his Excellency to
commute her punishment to impris
onment in the Penitentiary. This is
simply a compendious statement of
the case, without going into all the
particulars. Always inclined to be
merciful, and we trust never unmov
ed by the cry of tiie suppliant, we
can, nevertheless, see nothing in this
terrible case which can properly lay
any claim to executive clemency.—
Tiie jury, if empannelled again,
would, if they regarded their oath,
find the same verdict, and not one of
all those who address the Governor,
but would admit the guilt of this un
fortunate female. An adulteress,
with the blood of her mistress on her
hands, taking her life that she may
take her place, is in no sense entitled
to mercy. Whoso sheddeth man’s
blood by man shall his blood be shed,
is the divine injunction, unrepealed,
and irrepealable, and all this appeal
for mercy is in the face of all human
and divine law, and in the very teetli
of all that is just and right. If, how
ever, the Governor should be pleased
to hear and grant the prayer of the
petitioners, the case is with him, and
we shall not utter one word of dissat
isfaction at his course, firmly con
vinced as we are that to grant it,
would be a yielding of a merciful
heart, when the very good of society
and all law, and the very strong facts
of this remarkable case, should de
mand his denial, even though the
prisoner lie a woman. All the facts
of the case r.ave been carefully re
viewed by the Superior and Supreme
Courts, both determining that site is
worthy of death, and in spite of the
sentimentality which would shield
this great criminal from execution,
justice to the dead wife, and to a
thousand living families, requires
that a murderess, under such repul
sive circumstances, should suffer the
e*tn*aie penalty of the law.
W. A. Hemphill, one of the edit
ors and proprietors of tiie Atlanta
Constitution, a leading and popular
paper of the State, is widely known
and, for his Christian character and
upright, honorable and successful life,
receives, and is justly entitled to th<
respect of a host of friends. From
comparative poverty, he has a massed,
by successful industry and business
habits, a handsome competency, and,
what is still better, has, though a
young man, established for himself,
as the manager of one of the ablest
journals in Georgia, a reputation
which must be to him and his
friends a source of honest pride. We
have known him from his childhood,
and when a boy, with pleasure we
state it, he.gave indisputable evidence
of the excellent future which he ha.-
since worked out by his own unaided
efforts. ’The suspicion, therefore, that
in the matter of the public printing,
any dishonorable dealing could attach
to his character, was so foreign to aii
his antecedents in youth, and hi?
hitherto unsullied manhood, that no
thing save irrefragable evidence, pos
itive, clear, and indisputable, could
give it even one single moment’s at
tention.
The charge is, that, in his accounts
presented for payment, as publit
printer, lie has overcharged the Staff
some seven thousand dollars, more or
less, and though there is no direct al
legation that he acted criminally in
the matter, yet the insinuation is thai
he was attempting to obtain from tin
State more than he was entitled to,
and that, therefore, his conduct was
tainted with fraud. Mr. ’lemphiL
states that his charges were made in
the ordinary way, and all of them
under the direction of the foreman in
his printing office having the chargt
of these matters, and that they havt
been presented in form to the Gov
ernor ler his examination, who wii,
make such allowance of his claim as
may appear to be correct. Wo can
not see what else he, or any othei
printer, could do under like circum
stances; submitting his claims for ad
judication, and holding himself read>
to abide the decision upon their jus
tice. If the proper officers of the
State shall differ with him in relation
to items in his bill as chargeable a
gaiust the State, and in tiie waj
hitherto allowed to all public printers,
it will only amount to a reversal oi
the mode hitherto adopted by public
printers, and his accounts will be di
minished to that extent, without the
slightest reflection upon iiis character
or integrity. If the usual rate be al
lowed, then his bill will be honored
as presented, and there will Be an end
of tiie whole matter. We cannot al
low ourselves to believe but that Mr.
Hemphill, in ail tiiis matter, lias con
ducted the business fairly and honor
ably, and congratulate him upon the
fact that he may dismiss from his
mind all fear that even a suspicion ol
fraud, on his part, is entertained by
the public or his brethren of the
press.
DIGGER INDIANS.
The massacre of General Can by and
others, by the Modoc Indians, near
the lava bi ds in California, has not
only created a horror and much ex
citement at Washington, but has
caused Gen. Sherman, Commander
in-Chief of tiie United States forces,
to issue an order of extermination of
these savages, to the troops engaged
in this miserable little Indian war.—
The conduct of Captain Jack, tiie
bloody Chief of these Digger Indians,
is inexcusable upon any ground
whatever, and was an act of treache
ry and blood characteristic only of a
savage, and by all laws, human and
divine, he, and those who were en
gaged in this scene of appalling
treachery, deserve no mercy, and tiie
heaviest punishment should be visit
ed upon them, prompt, shary, quick,
and relentless. But the orders issu
ing from head quarters, an order ol
extermination against a whole tribe
of poor, miserable savages for the
act of their head men and chief war
riors, partakes as little of civilization
as the bloody deed of Captain Jack
and his braves. Cold-blooded butch
ery, inhuman extermination of a
small band of root-diggers for the
cowardly act of a few of their tribe,
is but little in consonance with the
spirit of the age, however lightly it
may sit upon the conscience of Gen
eral Teeumseli Sherman. And yet
who can be surprised at it, when one
remembers that this is the same Gen.
Sherman who went, with fire and
sword, over the defenceless plains of
Georgia and South Carolina, making
Cassvillean absolute desolation, burn
ing down Cartorsville, burning with
flame and fire public and private, ed
ucational and religious buildings, and
staying not his unbridled lust of ra
pine and of blood, until he exulted
over Columbia in flames, and the
people of the South, as far as was in
his brutal power, men, women, and
children, old and young, driven
houseless, homeless, and famishing,
out into the bleak winds of heaven.
In the name of humanity, protest
should be made against this cruel
and disgraceful order. The partici
pators in this blaody Indian drama
should be captured and vengeance
ruthlessly measured out to every one
of them, but then a great nation
should not stain itself with the blood
of a poor tribe of miserable Indians,
all of whom are under the authority
of their head chiefs and warriors. We
are and can be no apologist for Cap
tain Jack and his band in their mur
derous deed, but yet we do think that
the order of Gen. Sherman is, in it?
spirit and tone, on a precise level with
the murderous act of the savage Mo
doc Chief.
Among the objects for which Gov
ernor Jewel, the Republican Gover
nor of Connecticut, invites the people
of that State to supplicate Divine
Providence on the approaching fast
day, are the following: “That we
may emulate the virtues of our an
cestors in the administration of pub
lic affairs; and that individual sel
fishness may not be pormited to un
dermine the foundations of the re
public.” Recent occurrences in
Washington give peculiar force to
the suggestion* of Governor Jewel.

In nine cases out of ten this state of lassitude
and torpor arises from a morbid stomach. In
digestion .lestroys the energy of both mind and

Now. what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression* The sys
tem needs rousing and strengthening; not
merely for an hour or two. to sink afterwards
into a more pitiable condition than ever (as it
assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic
stimulant were resorted to), but radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplish
ed? The answer to this question, founded on
the unvarying experience of a quarter of acen
turv, is easily given. Infuse new \ igor into the
organs by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. Do not waste time in administering tem
porary remedies, but wake the system up by
recuperating ihe fountain head of physical
strength and energy, the great organ'upon
which all the other organs depend for nurture

j die annually of consumption, were first attack
i ed with a “slight” cough or cold, which they
j thought would soon “wear” itself oflf, and
‘ threforc neglected to use the proper
! until they became uncurablc.
Every day that a cough, cold or any lung
| disease is neglected, makes chances of a cure
more uncertain. We would recommend all
suffering fV *m any disease of the Lungs what
ever, to use Hasson’s Compound syrup op
Tar. 1. uover fails iu curing the worst cases
of coughs, colds, hoarseness, sore throat, ca
tarrh and asthma. It is au intallible remedy
for Hooping Cough. Being prescribed by
some of ihe leading physicians in the North
ern and Southern States and being prepared
under the immediate supervision of a gradu
ate of the Pennsylvania Medical College.
The proprietors beg leave to inform all that it
is no “Quack” preparation, but made strictly
in accordance with the advanced principles
and theory of medicine. Price 50 ceuts pet
bottle.
Sold by all Drug Stores and Dealers through
out the United States.
P. S. See that the signature of Russell &
Landis, Prop’rs, is cu each wrapper.
Time’s Test. —Time tries all tilings, rejects
those which are useless, and holds last to that
which is good. Stoves without number have
been invented and patented, but soon gave up
the ghost. The Charter Oak has stood the test
of seventeen years, and is steadily increasing
in favor. «
