TH E EAGLE. M. I*. CAbDH'ELL, I.iHml. Friday Morning, Juno U, 1875. <Jity Items. Go to Church next Sunday. More baby carriages Helling. Gainesville has a live Quaker. We arc sorry to give up the Democrat. A great many cattle dying in the county. Wheat harvest has opened in the county. The building prospect iu Gainesville is good. Capt. Forsyth is the champion sign painter. .Selling goods on a credit injures two persons. Several strangers in the city looking for property. The “iced Store" has something funny to show you. Very blonde hair is now called “light fan tastic toe.” “Soothing Syrup” is the latest name for corn whisky. Gainesville has never complained of n scarc ity of loafers. All kinds of logal blanks, land dcedH, etc., at the Eagle Office. Several parties went fishing last week, and had fisherman's lack. We want to see the “11. I.” Smith hotel, near the depot, finished. It you want a roal, number one beefsteak, go and see Charlie Hawkins. T. S. Campbell is building a commodious i’lsideuee on Green street. A great deal of musical talent is now being developed in Gainesville. Our preachers aro happy—spring chickens are abundant in the market. Boh wants to know which is first of a morn ing the market or post-office. Capt. liyers uses a cigar the most and smokes flie least cl any one we ever saw. If you take music lessons, practice a great deal. Practice makes improvement. We hoar some of onr best business men complaining of the scarcity of money. Wo have bad some fine raius the last week, and there is some plensuro in walking now. ■f. 11. Nichols, of Nacoochee, has if wheat t href her to soli. See his “ud” iu this issue. In addition to a good local trade, we have a protty fair wagon trade from the mountains. Tho excursions from this section to Atlanta have drained onr country of money to a great extent. Bov. I. W. Thomas is building a neat cot tage residence on Spring stroot, at the juuctiou r f Summit. From some “little, small” rumors afloat, we think there is an ellort to got up the post-office muddle again. We have one othor happy set of men iu Gainesville tho doctors; green fruit has made its appearance. F. F, Cape is certaiulv a very stout dray man, iif we saw him carrying a bale of hay the otln i day. Tho gate hinges must bo made strong for the young people to loan on tlicso beautiful moonlight nights. I*r. Lytle’s sign is most beautifully executed, and reflects great credit on the Doctor’s taste and Capt. Forsyth’s skill. T. T. Dorougli keeps a lirst-classs boarding house at Toceoa City, and is always prepared .to serve those who may call on him. Wo don’t know whotlier our friend Bradley sots himself up as an advertisement for his lino medicines or his boarding house. Our school is in u flourishing condition. An educational institution can't well be otherwise when presided over by George Looney. Uncle John Dorsey says, when a jackass brays at you, don't bray baok at him, unless you wish to equalize yourself with him. —‘ • ■■ Charlie Lilly is building a large warehouse adjoining his store on Washington street. I'his will be a great convenience to our mer chants. A nice band stand has been erected in the court yard, from which our excellent band will favor our citizens with music each Satur day afternoon. Oar friend, Obid Smith, fell from a scaffold the other day and dislocated one of his ankles. The hurt is very painful, but he is bearing np under it manfully. Trade will be much better hero after the middle of July; the cattle, fruitaiul wheat will be put on the market, which will greatly re lievo us as a people. Mr. llakestraw’s sign is jnst sr largo ns it bus boon, bin prices ns low and bis fits as good. If you desi e a neat summer boot or shoo, be is tbo man t<> go and see. The ladies of lee Baptist Church are polliug the city very closely for money, to finish up their church. ‘ Wo do hope they may succeed in this laudable underbiking. We are glad tb it our fellow citizen. Judge Crowder is retained in tie Revenue Depart ment under tbo lute ehango of Collectors. lie is a good officer, and we are always proud to endorse such. Wo notice that a great many persons go to church very late on Sninlay night. This should not bo so; thore is no excuse for it, be sides it disturbs the congregation and preach er. Re in time. Our College Hall should with good seats. There are a great many occasions it could be used by our citizens if it were well seated. What do you say, Mr. Mayor, and gentlemen of Council? The Southron says, "It is exceedingly pleas ant to lounge near the depot at night or early in the morning and inhale the dslightful per fume of the guano.” There’s nothing like gettiug use to a thing. You may repeat the Creed, the Lord's Pray er and the Nineteenth Psalm every morning, but when you get up of a morning and find an old cow iu your wheat, our opinion is you will forgot them in their regular order. Mr. 11. P. Easton, of Lake City, Fla., has been spending several days iu Gainesville looking lor a future home. He is well pleased with i ur city, mid will return very soon, with bis family, to stay. We gladly welcome him. Col. Archer, cut postmaster, desires u get nj> anew “Yale Lock Bol” office In a good room appropriate for an office, and to do so, most have the assistance of the citizaus. Call on him and he will explain. Wo hope he wiU succeed. Who lias not heard of Marian, the boot maker, in this community ? He can make any thing from a pump soled boot to a brogan shoe, and never fails to please his customers. See his card in this issue, and don’t forget to give him a trial. CoL Nichols is preparing to inclose all the cottages and beautify the grounds at New Holland, put up horse-racks and arrange for the convenience of persons who may wish to drive out there to eDjoy this grand fountain. He is a man of fine taste, and we think he will make New Holland the Saratoga of the South. We call the attention of the public to the advertisement of Twittv & Pitman, to be found iu this issue. They are reliable, honest, hard working young men, and deserve to succeed, and will succeed, for already they have orders more than a month ahead. Any of our farm - ing friends wanting anew wagon made out of good material and honestly put together, should call and see them. They also repair wagons, bnggies and plantation tools. From Texas. We were gratified to meet in onr city Mon day morning last, some Texas friends—Bazel Human, J. G. Human, wife and daughter Jessie. These gentlemen are snbstanlial, good citizens, first-rate busimess men ami clever, good heartod fellows. They aro visiting H. D. Human, Esq., and other relatives, in Jack son county, the place of their nativity. Wo welcome them to old Georgia, aud wish they could find it to their interest to make their home among us. The Methodist Church. Whon we penned the article in our last is sue iu regard to the fiuishing up of this church, wo had no one in view, simply meant a gentle hint to get it finished -hating to see it stand unfinished as bad as wo do the Baptist Church. We disclaim any intention whatever of hurt ing any one’s feelings, and are sorry any one mistakes our purpose. We may be allowed to say we think a blind could be spared better anywhere else than by the pulpit. The Grasshoppers. Their |l)rcu<lful Ravages—A Graphic Description. The following letter was not written for pub lication, but treating, as it does, of matters of public interest, wo take the liberty to publish it. The writer was formerly a citizen of White county, Ga.: Weston, Platte Cos., Missouri, j May 30th, 1875. J M. P. Caldwell, Gainesville: Dlah Sib— Through the mercies of a kind Providouce, my family are yet all on the land of the living aud enjoying moderate health. We have, iu all this section of country, a very distressing time on account of grasshoppors. It is impossible for me to give you anything like a correct idea of them and their destruc tion. You can scarcely realize how numerous they are. I planted fifty acres in corn this spring, and forty of it are eat off into the ground, and never can come up nguin. Thou sands of acres of the surrounding country in the same condition. Tho farmers have quit plowing their corn—you can ride all day aud not soe a plow running. If the grasshoppers do not leave here jn tiiuo to plant lato corn, there will bo no corn made in this country, and ureat suffering must inevitably follow. They have devoured the wheat the same as corn. My crop would have been good for fifteen hundred bushels of wheat had nothing happened, now I have not tho surely of u bushel, and I think thoro are at least fiftoou hundred or two thousand bushels of grasshoppers now in my wheat field, and I tell you now it is the most alarming and dis couraging time I ever experienced. Ido not believe now we will make anything, aud if we don’t, people will be bound to go to the grain or suffer. I see the Gainesville Eaole is complaining of moles and crows. Tell the oditors I will swap them grasshoppers for them, aud take all they have in Georgia. I will give you further details in my next. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain truly yours, etc., M. M. PATTON. [Advertisement ] A (lartl—To flit* Public. Some timo ago, James IT. Vincont was ar raigned before the Mayor’s Court on a charge of assault and battery. His Honor, 11. S. Bradley, the Mayor, being disqualified from presiding in the case, it was brought up be fore the undersigned. Mayor pro tern. The evidence was conclusive of tho guilt of of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt. In fact there was nothing adduced to vary or contradict the plain statement of the prosecu trix, except the statement of the defendant not under oath. It was not to be expected that any man making pretensions to respecta bility should confess that he was guilty of tho act charged. He admitted he did talk to her upon the subject. The only sworn testimony introduced by the defense was negative; that is to say, three persons who occupied rooms near by the one in whieh the offense was charged to have been committed testified that nothing of the sort took place, that they heard. And further, that the uegress did not enter de'endaut’s room, when he admitted that she did, and corroborated her statement as to time, place and subject, and only disputed the assault and battery. Acting under the sanction of an official oath, I could not do other* ise than find defendant guilty, and I nevor yet have questioned the correctness of the conclusion from the evi dence, as well as from all the subsequent transactions. The offense was committed in 11 room in the liichmoud House, and on the evening after the verdict was rendered the defendant and certain of his apologists and adherents pre pared for a high indignation meeting, and proposed an effigy to represent me, to be burned publicly. Some persons, more considerate, perhaps, induced the very indiguant defendant and his supporters to abandon the idea ot effigy burn ing, and in its stead to substitute some reso lutions of censure and indignation. The de fendant penned the resolutions, and making them a little too strong, they were copied by another, aud some of the most objectionable features left out. These resolutions, which reflected most se riously and injuriously upon the character, both private aud official, of the undersigned, were circulated aud signed by the persons hereafter named, as well as by seventeen gen tlemen who, seeing the great injustice done me, took occasion to subscribe a resolution which was several times published, and which disclaimed all intention to censure or reflect injuriously upon me. The last mentioned resolution was kept in the office of the Ordi nary for about two weeks, that an opportunity might lie afforded to every one to correct any error he had made, or to disclaim, or wilh- draw any Offensive charges tiauo against rue. That no excuse could be left for lack of op portnnity M do me injustice, and as I was un willing to believe that any man in onr com munity would willingly and wilfully endeavor to break down the good name and character of a man who is now in the very town where he was born and raised, and who is amongst the very people who have known him all his life, and that, too, too, to uphold a man in the commission of an offense against his race, against decency, committed in a public hotel, in open day light, I addressed a respectful note to each one of the persons hereafter named, and put them in the post-office, and I have every reason to believe they were all received. I therefore having offered an opportunity to each to do me justice, and each having failed to avail himself of the opportunity afforded, I can bat conclude that each ot the following named persons willfully intended to ruin my character, if iu their power. I, therefore, give the name and occupation of each, and the facts and circumstances, and the occasion which induced this unjustifiable and wanton attack, or rather secret stab of a man who honestly believed he did his duty, and whose decision, if erroneous, could be re viewed and corrected by a higher tribunal —but rather than do which the defendant has been pleased to abandon this town and com munity—in order that an unprejudiced public may judge between me and my traducers: O. R. Simmons, attorney at law (?) and Phil R. Simmons, attorney at law(?), W. L. Marler, attorney at law (?), all of whom were defend ant’s counsel upon the trial. T. J. Hunt, proprietor of the Richmond House, at which tho offense was committed, and who would have been expected to try to the character of his house. J, M. Hnnt, brother of last named, aud joint proprietor of the Richmond House. J. J. Mayne, who has beeu honored with the office of Clerk Superior Court for many years, and supported by no one more eordially than myself and my friends. W. J. Shockley, a merchant (?). ■J. D. Kendrick, of the firm of Smith & Ken drick, proprietors of a livery stable in Gaines ville. Respectfully, W. A. BROWN. Gainesville, Ga., June, 9th, 1875. Buforil Items. Buford is improving rapidly. Mr. John B. Smith, of Jackson county, is having a line residence built on Mariana St. Our enterprising and high-spirited towns man, J. E. Cloud, is about finishing his resi dence on Church street. The building committee of the academy has awarded the building of that flue institution to Hill, Marharm x Cos. Avery fine wheat crop in this section. There are some eight or ten new buildings going up in Buford at present. We have had some fine rains lately, nnd farmers look pleasing and hopeful. Our merchants are doing a fair trade in the bartering business. J. A. Johnston & Cos. are doing a good busi ness in the way of making wagons and buggies. If you waut to enjoy yourself these hot days by indulging in something good and cooling, go to the ice cream saloon of T. G. Hadaway’s. KENO. Proceedings of CouncP. Council Chamber, June 7th, 1875.

They are industrious, punctual, prompt and, as a set of men, are sober and reliable. Promptly at the sound of the wLutle—at seven, twelve, one, six - they are at their post, and we scarcely ever see one of them on the streets idle. Most of them own their homes, and consequently are not the slaves of merciless landlords. The mechanics of any place are the heart'and soul of the place, the main stay and dependence, and no class of a community are more impor tant. Gainesville may well be proud of her's. We propose to publish for the information of onr citizena a complete list of the mechanics of the city, and if we omit the names of any in this list, we will cheerfully add their names herealter.

MtlCri !jg*j|®jpi Vinegar Hitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquor* doctored, spiced, and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of Cali fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per fect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter, and restoring the blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing and invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, certain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. No Person can take those Bitters accord ing to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizzi ness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, In flammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kid neys, and a hundred other pain Ail symptoms, are the off springs of Dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. For Female Complaints, m young or old, mar ried or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influenca that a marked improvement is soon perceptible. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheu matism and Gout, .Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. They are a Gentle Purgative a well si a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, and in Bilious Diseases. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-worms, Scald-Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, ara literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples. Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob structed and sluggish in the reins; cleanse k when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep tha blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Grateful thousand* proclaim Vinegar Bit ters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. Pin, Tape, and other Worm*, lurking m ths systeiq of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist: There is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whoso body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No system of MedilSe, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free thq system from worms like these Bitters. Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged its paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, will bo subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard again&t this take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters once or twice a week, as a Preventive. Biliou*, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Ten nessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah,Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by exten sive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. There are always more or less ob structions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There i no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bowels arn loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of tha liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Scrofula, or King’* Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goiter, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Af fections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters act on all these cases in a similar manner. By purifying the Blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away the effects of the inflammation (the tubercular deposits) the affected parts receive health, and a permanent cure is effected. Tlic properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic and Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti Bilious. The Aperient and mild propgnieT'of~ Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are the best safe guard in all cases of eruptions and malignant fevers, their balsamic, bailing, and soothing properties protect the humors of the fauces. Their Sedative properties allay pain in the nervous system, stomach, and bowels, either from inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their Counter-Irritant influence extends throughout the system. Their Diuretic properties act on the Kidneys, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their Anti-Bilious properties stimulate the liver, in the secretion of bile, and its discharges through the biliary duct's, and are superior to .ill remedial agents, for the cure of Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, etc. Fortify flic body against disease by puri fying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus forearmed. The liver, the etomaoh, the bowels, the kidneys, and the nerves ars rendered disease-proof by this great invigorant.
