Christmas Holidays.—According to custom,
time wbereot the memory of man runneth not to

the younger cla-s, have given themselves up to

Retrenchment.
“ Precept u{on precept, 'ine noon lice.
Here s little and there s little.”
E'iJ.-yr A'L-ertiter: Before the 1 ite War we not
aofreqaettly heard individuals deriaivt-ly referred
to as having the “ high-sirikas but no such
taunts and flings have been heard since. And
why * Because, at the close of the war, the dis
ease spread so rapidly that in a very short time
Dear y every one had it—none left to accuse—none
to J ;er—none einlcsa enough to cast tbe first
•tone. All “went” lor a fortune—were bevnd to
have It, and that vnmeduiUly, “if net sooner.”
No time for reflection—no time to cons:der fail
urea—* now or never”—forward, march, quick,
double quick, and tbe da7il take the h ndmott.
Quite exciting this, and tor a time very inter
esting ; but slas! it soon sppeared that the base
jf supplies was 100 far away, and too much under
the control of others, even those who, themselves,
*ere “In for s fortune” out of aomebxJy. How
vei, the venture having been made, reaort was
bad to the consoling lullaby, “Go well, I make,
go bad. I break—and don't care if I do-o-o.” Ami
they broke.
And now, Mr. Editor, will not those dis'iplea
of chance—those graduates from the school of
eiperlence—begin to “ make haste siowlv ?" Be
gin to prepare a better foundation for their baiid
iogs—to eschew credit at double prices, and the
quicksands cf negro losses and shipped provis
oes’ W.ll they not seek a bottom that will
aland colion worms, guano failures, low pricef,
ind financial crashes ? A bottom of ready cash
and .*/>ck supplies, unalloyed with Western sacks
and negro par!uersbks ? A,nd then symmetriza
their buildings to their foundations. Are we not
di-grsciog the land ot our sires? Everything go
i-ir wrong— la.iure the rale, success the excep
tion —litertmcdy known, but not applied. Neg
ect oi nusite-s, iiufficient labor, unnecessary iu
lalgences and overtrading, have brought us to
grlel.
1 rue, we are greatly embarrassed with extra
Xatiou, chirg. able, 8 beiy, to the ex ravogauce
nd c orruption ol soait- ol our ra era— those dear
vers cf iLe people, who, while canvassing lor
a' Vote*, promi ed such hdeli y to our interests,
lut. m only, our troub < s are ot ocr own makim*,
ud ;hc remedy entirely at our dkpoaai ThU
nay be a s’artlii g assertion, hut it will be difß ult
i pS'ry .>tl its lore*; Woo lore du* to give Ice
rr 1 l!ct!S and warehouse aecrptaices for iho
•i, port o laborers not worth tlieir *oaid? Who
i ii n .ir beads that fool'sb notion that tne
• x ot eo.ti a to buy them, was the cheapest
cui fl ur, hay, pork, wo I,

( much upon uuattemiel negro labor? Who
ikd our tisksto hig'i as to cause the whole to
opple sud to he lost V Who semis us to town
iid co many other placce, while our business so
imp. ra lively demands cur presence and attention ?
Ynd v.ho, better than omsclves, know the reme
dy tor all our complaints?
From every quarter the cry is heard, “Curtail
expenses and raise supplies at home.” Merchants
—all—Join in the chorus. Grangers hail to the
masses, “half, madmen, halt,” and yet nobody
halts, or curtails expenses, or raises supplies at
home.
Already too much theory, now let us practice
awhile. Whose condition da you emulate? If
neighbor Smith’#, then consider his ways—his
outgoings snd incomings—and go thou and da
likewise. Go to now, aud put in practice what
you have heard, set the machinery going, put in
your sons, train them to economixs and to labor,
dhow no quarter to idlers—you cannot aflard to
he detained by them; let every movement denote
bnxinexs. Indulge in luxuries only when the bill
can be cashed—better sutTer for tbe want of a
thing than for having it. Think and act (alter
consulting your wife) independently. Beware of
“new advertisements,” guano circulars, horse
jockeys, quack doctors, and “jack leg” lawyers.
Brace youiself against gift enterprises, and insur
ance and lightuing-rod ageuts. These thi"gs ob
serve and do, and you shall have your reward.
Cutting your cards for a fortune, only insures
the loss of your stake. Fortunes were (pot in
tended lor sucti as you. Only one in ten thousand
obtains them. You cannot perform the prereq
uisites, nor would you telish the work if you
could.
Prudence and industry will secure a comforta
ble living; with this be content, and submit to
nothing less. Shake off sloth, nerve on jour
manhood, and tbe prize is yours. Hold on to
•our tamings—jeopardize nothing. This wild
mania for speculation is the bane of society—the
curse of the 1 md.
A!s6! for our poor, week brothers—no spirit
to provide—no firmness to resist. Tlieir dlnus
nn easy prey to the prac ical swindler. Why,
n .ny oi them sign liens, mortgages, etc., without
c-iding or hearing them read, or even knowing
when they are marie due or the amouut of interest
tin ged—no hope tor them— th>y must lemain
icwcrs of wood and drawers of water.
This mnniug iD debt, is but taxing ourselves
or the support ot constables, sherifls, lawyeis,
udgi'S, etc And this retaining of npgro iaboiers
vithout personally controllirg aud directing tbeir
abor is bat taxing ourselres to support them in
dleness.
In con*ideration ol its importance, let me in
.•onciu-lon repeat tbe warning—keep out of debt
-take aboard no more than you can sa’ely carry.
' Pay as you go,” is the philosopher's stone.
Keep u uear your Ueart—you lose it a your peril

Vu'ictPAi. Election.—The first Saturday n
■ o.taiy next, is tt. time fixed by the Chart* r lor
" election of an I tendant ad B iard of Comnvis
ouers of t>u ei v. Wc have heard the matter
nt little discuss and, but hope that such gentlemen
nay be selected as wi I give sat'sfaction. What
w e need is liberal-minded, progressive end enlight
r eoed gentlemen, who will pursue that course
which will develop and util ze all local advantages
to the interest and prosperity of our city. We
earnestly hope that the local dissentions and bick
erings engendered by a difference of opinion as to
the financial policy of the past, may be amicably
adjusted aud understood, and that our future
prosperity and development may not be retarded.
That ail parties have been honest and conscien
tious in their views, we have not the least doubt;
but that those differences, however small, have
resulted in injury, none can deny. Within the
last few months several wealthy, influential, and
worthy citizens, attracted by our superior educa
! tloual advantages, have located in our midst;
many more desire to do so, but seeing the dissat
istactiou existing, have been deterred from in
vesting their money in city property. We hope,
therefore, with the new year and anew Council
(as most ol the old Board have emphatically de
clined to serve longer), that the admicstration of
our city affairs may be upheld, aud that they may
be so managed as to give universal satisfaction and
support. With this result, the wonderful im
provements of the psst year will be followed by
still greater prosperity
Bckoi-aht. —We understand that some bold
| thief entered the culinary department of Mr.
Greer’s Hotel, on Saturday night, and breaking
1 open a pantry, purloineu some hams, flour, etc.
Truly this was a bold movement, to enter the
Marshal’s house—he who is expected to be always
ou the lookout for thieves.
TasES Gathered. —We understand from Mr.
H. Y\ Gibson, the efficient Tax Collector, that tbe
tares have been collected very close. He has is
sued about fiTetti hundred tax fi. fa’s, and will be
forced to issue many more. Tuese fl. fa’s, have
been issued principally against negroes for their
poll tax, but a small amount of which will be n .
alistd. This is a fair specimen of how coffee and: •
cb .rges his duty as a citizen. Were it iu our power
we eould take every negro who fails to discharge
h:s whole duty as a citizen aud link him to a New
England yankee as inseparable as the Siamese
i.t ils, and require said >ank e to do it lor him.

W. A. Banks & Sons,—The large amount of
goods disposed ol by this firm since their estab
lishment in this city has been a matter of aston
ishment and wonder. To tbe reflective mind the |
causes that bring about such results arc plain and
clear; add to tbe clever, accommodating manner
ol the older member of tbe firm, the smilea.snavity
and polished manners of the younger and more
handsome m ’mbers, and tbe large and select stock
of goo fs that th“y keep, and the secret is plain
and palpabla. Bat last week, 'this firm ordered
another large*uppl of winter goods; and cn yes
terday, a# we were parsing up the street, we met I
” Bi ly ” rushing down towards the telegraph of
fle-, and on inquiry found that they were sending
for “ more goods." Tuere is a maznetjabout the

NiWs From Ai.K\nßab—Many letters have
been recently received by negroes in the county,
purporting lo be writun by Their Dienes and rela
tives in Arkansas, giving the most encouraging
accounts of their prosperity and lutv.re prospects ;
and urging all negroes who can possibly raise the
money to come there and live. The negroes, how
ever, have got the idea that these letters are bogus
and that they are written for the purpose of dup
ing them. Some are inclined to try this land oi
“ milk and honey,” whilst a large majority, with
an incredulous shake of the head,bitterly denounce
the trick.
' IMrROTEMET3.—The spirit of improvement still
prevails iu our city. Several new residences are
being erected, aud dwellings, out-houses and
feuces renovated.
News Paper Chanoe.—The last issue of the
j Trl-Weeekly Griffin Star announces its combina
j tion and consolidation with the Temperance
Watchman and Georgia Cultivator, The proptie
-1 tors propose on the 35th day of December, to Issue
the Weekly Star and Cultivator, which will be de
voted to literature, general news ana especially
agriculture and temperance. Whis department will
be under the superintendence aud control of Mr.
W. E. H. Searcy, whose character is too well
known to justify us in referring more particularly
to it.
It la further proposed to issue ou tho fii-at day
of January, as a morning paper, the Daily Star
Instead of the Tri-Weekly, which will be under
the control and management of Fitch and Speer,
whose reputation as successful newspaper men
is co-extensive with the State. YYe are not ad
vised as to the capacityjof Grifflu and the surround
ing country to support daily two papers, but are
satisfied that the present combination will furnish
papers possessed of the highest character of ex
cellence.
To improve a stagnant business, the best rem
edy or stimulant is to advertise. This is necessary
to the peculiar state of bnsiness, when people are
consulting the newspapers as their household gods,
conveying the only true and reliable scource of in
formation on passing events, now, in
the fl’jctations ot trade. Indeed, so true is this
that ju.-t no man, much less a woman, starts out
to spend a $5 greenback without holding a coun
cil of economy at or before breakfast with the last
issue oi the paper spread for reference, to ascer
tain where the greatest likelihood exists of getting
value received and 25 per cent, addition for panic
rates. Advertise! Let the people know what you
have, and at what moderate rates you are selling,
and the re#ooase will be found at once.— JlT. T.

ish America or Brazil The work referred to is
Hostetter’s Almanac lor 1874. The medical por
tion of it treats of the various ailments to which
the human system is subject, and sets forth the
peculiar properties of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters—the purest and best tonic known—as a pre
servative of health and strength, and as a remedy
for debility and disease. The Almanac is printed in
all the principal languages of the civilized world,
and reaches a larger number of families and indi
viduals than any other medical treatise ever is
sued from the press. No man or woman who has
a due regard for that choicest of heaven’s bless
ings, bodily vigor, should tail to read the plain,
simple and convincing articles which this truly
prictical publication contains. The miscellaneous
matter is varied, instructive, and amusing, and
the calender part copious and comprehensive.
Hostetter’n Almanac is, In short, a household con
venience, adapted to the Calling. The farmer,
the planter, the nyffrehant, the mechanic, the la
borer, the professional man, all need it; and to
invalids of 6exc it is literally an article of
prime necessity. The medical technicalities,
which render so many medical treatises intended
for popular use, unintelligible to the general
reader, have beeD csrelolly avoided ia this pam
phlet. All is clear, explicit, forcible, and recon
ciaftle with reason and common sense.
The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter A Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa., on the receipt of a two cent stamp,
will forward a copy by mail to any person who
