Laws Delating to Newspaper Subscriptions
and Arrearages.
(We received the following from a
judicial officer who states that it is the
dicision of the United States Supreme
Court.
1. Subscribers who do not give ex
press notice to the contrary, are con
sidered wishing to continue their sub
scription.
2. If subscribers order the discon
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
lishers may continue to send them un
til all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals from the office
to which they are directed, they are
held responsible until they have set
tled their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
4. If subscribers move to other places
without notifying publishers, and the
papers are sent to the former direc
tion, they are held responsible.
5. The courts have deeidod that ‘re
fusing to take periodicals from the of
fice, or removing and leaving them un
called for is prima facia evidence of in
tentional fraud.’
G. Any person who receives a news
paper and makes use of it whether he
has ordered it or not is held in law to
boa subscriber.
7: If subscribers pay in advanco,
they are bound to give notice to the
publisher, at the end of their time; if
they do not wish to continue taking it;
otherwise the publisher is authorized
to send it on; and the subscribers will
bo responsible until an express notice,
with payment of all arreages, is sent to
the publisher.

Wo direct attention to the card of
Dr. V. D. Lockhart, to be found in this

in Brunswick, accepted the invitation
of the Hall county society to hold its
second semi-annual session for this
year in Gainesville. It will bo held the
second week in August, and will con
tinue for three days. We are exceed
ingly gratified that this important and
intelligent b. dy of farmers are to visit
our section, as it will doubtless prove
beneficial to our people and pleasant
and agreeable to those who may come.
The bill to grant State aid to the
Marietta and North Georgia Railroad

Senate by a vote of 21 to 15.
We learn that Messrs. Dillard &
Robinson have opened a fine school at
Cool Spring, Habersham county. These
young gentlemen have purchased the
land and propose building a commo
dious academy—making the school a
permanent institution of learning of
high grade, on the Peabody plan. We
wish these worthy young men abun
dant success, and hope that the good
people of this neighborhood will give
such support and encouragement to
the school as to make it a permanent
success.
Mr. Wm. Doster proposes to estab
lish a soap manufactory in Gainesville,
if sufficient encouragement be given by
our people. Mr. Doster comos with
references from a number of gentle
men of high character with whom we
are personally acquainted, and will
doubtless perform faithfully all he
promises. We have seen Bamples of
his soap, and as far as wo are able to
judge, believe it to be first-class. We
hope that our people will give Mr.
Doster such encouragement and pat
ronage as will justify him in locating
in our city.
A volunteer company called the
Centennial Light Guards—composed
of the best material, has been raised.
More names than are required to make

lency Gov. Smith, commander-in-chief
of the military forces of Georgia, for
an election to be held on next Saturday
evening, at 7 o’clock, for the purpose
of electing the officers of said company,
inasmuch as such organizations are of
great benefit to any place, giving it
renown and eclat, we trust that our
citizens will give material aid to this
company, so that an elegant uniform
and the necessary equipments can be
obtained.

A CARD.
To the Coed Cifizens of (■aiuesville.
Allow us, in behalf of the young la
dies of the Methodist church, to return
to you our grateful acknowledgements
for your noble generosity in contribut
ing to our Fair on the 14t,h inst. To
know that you were agreeably enter
tained, is sufficient reward for our la
bors, while, as a financial enterprise,
the effort was successful beyond our
expectations, having resulted in an in
come of over SIOO.OO.
We should like to mention the names
of many who exhibited their unbound
ed liberality in furnishing us with
material aid, but it would require too
much space, aud it would be unjust to
discriminate where all did so well.
We acknowledge, with much pleas
ure, the magnanimity of the other re
ligious denominations of Gainesville,
in contributing so cordially to the pleas
ure and profit of the occasion.
Our thanks are due to our city news
papers, for courtesies; to Messrs.
Chamberlain & Boynton, and Mr. Er
Lawshe, of Atlanta, for valuable con
tributions ; while we should ever hold
in grateful remembrance the valuable
assistance rendered us by Miss Minnie
Moulton, one of Atlanta’s most charm
ing daughters.

Committee.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 16.
Editors Eagle: It will be gratifying
to the friends of a constitutional con
vention, in North-East Georgia, to
know that our greatest statesman, Gen.
Johu B. Gordon, in his speech before
the Legislature on the night of the 14th
inst., fully endorsed that measure, and
said with emphasis, that now is the time
to hold it. He said there are “three
sufficient reasons, not to mention many
others that could be assigned for hold
ing a convention. First, to shorten
official terms. Second, to limit execu
tive patronage. Third, to place re
strictions on state, county and munici
pal authorities as to their ability to
create debts ad infinitum and to tax ad
libitum.”
Every Representative from North-
E.ist Georgia voted for the bill and for
the section giving the people the right
to say whether they will have a conven
tion or not, except Mr. Duke of Jack
son, who was absent sick, and Mr.
Dugger of Fannin, who is a Republi
can. The Republicans, of course, are
satisfied with this constitution, because
it is their own handiwork.
North-East Glororan.
The Ladies’ Fair.
The Ladies Pair at the College Hall
on Monday evening was one of the
most agreeable and pleasant social en
tertainments of the season. The Fair
was originated by some of the young
ladies, to raise funds for tho benefit of
the Methodist church, and was happy
in conception and successful in execu
tion. The Hall was brilliantly lighted
and a number of stands erected, at
some of which refreshments were sup
plied, and at others the ballot boxes
were placed, where the votes were
deposited for the contestants for the
various prizes offered. These stands
were beautifully and tastefully deco
rated and festooned; at each of which
one of the fairest of the fair presided
with queenly dignity. The crowd was
very large, and the voting for the vari
ous ccntesants for the prizes,quite ani
mated, our citizens, without regard to
age, sex or denomination participating.
After the polls were closed and the
votes counted, the prizes and comple
ments voted the contestants, were
awarded as follows: Walking cane, Col.
J. B. Estes; artificial rose bush, Miss
Florence Hooker; most popular young
lady, Miss Mary Butt; brussel rug,
Miss Addie Langston; most handsome
young lady, Miss Annie Cox.
Thero were several features of the
entertainment which we would be
pleased to mention, if our space would
permit. There was one incident, how
ever, that was touchingly beautiful, so
elevating and refining in its nature,
that wo cannot pass it without notice.
A handsome doll was contested for by
Zoe Blackshear and Minnie Brown, two
little girls five or six years old. The
contest had been animated, each receiv
ing a large number of votes. When
the result was to bo announced, both
stood in the crowd all anxiety, yet
with countenance beaming with hope
When it was stated that Zoe was the
successful one, and would receive the
coveted prize, Minnie, of her own mo
tion, approached and kissed her little
rival; and, in her childish language,
congratulated her on her good luck.—
The act was so magnanimous, was such
an exhibition of generous and ennobling
impulses, that the young ladies having
tho management of the Fair have very
properly decided to procure for Minnie
a present that will quite make up for
all sho lost in the doll.
The whole affair passed off with the
best of feeling, and is highly compli
mented by all who were present. We
must not omit to state, howover, that
several of our young men insist that
the compliments voted the young ladies
settle nothing, each believing still that
his own “dulcinea” is the most hand
some and the most popular. Well, be
it so.
The Fair was a financial success, the
receipts amounting to over one hun
dred dollars.
Special Correspondence of the Eagle.
Atlanta, Ga., February 14, 187 b.
Editors Eagle: Your readers have
already been informed of the fact that
the Legislature has appointed a com
mittee to investigate the charge made
by the Atlanta Herald, to the effect
that money had been used by the
lessees in procuring tho endorse
ment of the lease of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad. That committee
has been at work now for a week
past, and the “probing auger’’ has
been sent to the handle in many
places where the “ out-croppings ” seem
ed to indicate the existence of a “Big
Bonanza” beneath. The ‘chips’ turned
out so far, present much food for sober
reflection. Money has been used pretty
freely, and while as yet it has not been
shown that one cent was received by
the direct representatives of the peo
ple, still many persons and newspapers
have been paid good fees for their ser
vices in moulding public opinion. It
is contended by some that this is a
legitimate business, and that men are
perfectly justifiable in receiving money
for services rendered in shaping (!)
legislation. Now your correspondent
believes that ‘lobbying’ is wrong look
ed at from any standpoint, but more
especially so, when a measure is'lobbied’
through the Legislature affecting the
property of the people at large. The
Western and Atlantic Railroad belongs
to the State, and every man, woman
and child in the commonwealth is in
terested in its welfare. But lam told
that the road now pays twenty-five
thousand dollars a month, when it was
paying nothing before; and that, there
fore, the people are better off even if
the lease was obtained fraudulently. What
an argument 1 I take the bold ground
that if the lease was obtained by the
use of money, fraud, etc., it was done
contrary to the will of the sovereign
peotle, and that it ought to be abro
gated and set aside, even if the road
fails to pay running expenses for the
next ten years! It is safe to say, how
ever, that no matter what is proven,
the lease will not be touched. Its too
big a thing—“ There's millions in it.’’
One thing, however, will be accom
plished. The testimony that is being
taken by that committee will all be
published, and the people will have
the privilege of reviewing it at the
ballot-box. 1 understand a certain
Congressman is pretty considerably
“mixed up in the transaction, and
that some things look a little ‘crooked.’
Said Congressman was represented
before the committee on Saturday by a
well known republican lawyer, who
worked very hard to get that portion
in relation to the Hon. gent stricken
out. It proved to be a dash, however,
for the committee thought it not best
to make “fish of one and fowl of an
other.’*
The little fifteen thousand dollar
transaction in which said Congress
man figured, may form an important
link in a chain of circumstances that
the people have long been desirous of
1 seeing the bottom of. *
We earnestly entreat our own citi
zens and every one interested to go to
work vigorously for the turnpike road.
No time ia to be lost. Let each man
put his shoulder to the wheel with the
determination to make it a success,and
the work will be done in due time.
Dr. J. M. Trotter lectured in the
Court House on Friday and Saturday
evenings last, upon Phrenology, Phy
siology and Physiognomy—illustrating
his positions by the aid of a magic lan
tern in a most forcible and instructive
manner. The proceeds of the lecture,
after defraying expenses, are applied
to benevolent purposes. The doctor
will lecture again this (Thursday)
evening in the Court House, and on
Friday and Saturday evening at Nor
cross. Let everybody turn out and
hear him.

Gratuitious Advice.
This species of advice is not always accept
able, but doubtless in many instances much
benefit would be derived were it promptly
acted upon. No section of the country is
exempt from disease and many regions has its
“ills that flesh is heir to.” To know the best
means of combating this common enemy,with
the least injury to our pockets and tastes, is
certainly a great advantage. At this season
vve must expect torpid liver, congested spleen,
vitiated bile and inactive bowels, and all pru
dent persons should supply themselves with
Ttjtt’s Livek Pills, which will stimulate the
liver, relieve the engorged spleen, determine a
healthy flow of bile, thus regulating the bowels
and causing all unhealthy secretions to pass
off in a natural mauner. Remember that “an
ounce of preventive is worth more than a
pound of cure.” feblß-2t

Beadfield’s Female Regulator. —We have
often read in the newspapers of the grand suc
cess of medical compounds put up at the
North and elsewhere. Many of those medi
cines have had their day, and we hear no
more of them. Their proprietors have made
fortunes, not so much from the curative pow
ers aud virtues of their mixtures, as from the
notoriety given them by advertising, by which
people were made to believe all the good that
was said of them. A preparation is now before
the public, which is becoming very popular,
and is known as Bradfield’s Female Regulator,
put up by L. H. Bradfield, of Atlanta, Ga., at
$1.50 per bottle. Such is its curative virtues,
that it has gaiued wide-spread popularity all
over tho country where it has been made
known, and it is being introduced every
where. We aro informed that immense quan
tities ol' this medicine are being sold in all
sections of the South aud Southwest, especial
ly in tho city of New Orleans and in Texas.
This much we suy in justice to its proprie
tor, who is a gentleman of integrity, and who
would not engage in the manufacture and sale
of a humbug.—LaGrange Reporter.

acknowledgment to its patrons for tho confidence and
good will which have attended it from its first incep
tion to the present year. It is now better prepared
than ever to work in the interests el’ the people of
Georgia, and to record tho important events of the
day as they transpire, iu all parts of the country.
Tho newspapers of this country are fast superseding
the public orators and politicians in shaping the af
fairs of the government, because they reach thousands
of our stalwart population—meu, women and chil
dren—who have become; disgusted with tho harangue
of designing men, who do not keep, on an averag.one
in fifty of their promises.
The year 1876 will be filled with important events,
and no family who cares to keep posted can afford to
be without at least one newspaper.
We submit the following points:
1. Congress meets early iu January, and thero is no
doubt o the fact that it will be the most important ses
sion since the foundation of the Republic.
2. The Georgia Legislature meets on the 12th day
of January, and the question of a Constitutional Con
vention, the dog law, stock law, the State’s indorse
ment on railroad bonds, the Treasury complications,
etc., etc., are matters about which the people want to
keep posted.
3. The Presidential compaigu on which we are just
now entering will be tho most important one in the
history of our country.
4. On the 10th of May the great Centennial celebra
bration opens in Philadelphia, and will be the grandest
exhibition ever witnessed in any country.
6. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep
resentatives, and half of the Senate, are to be chosen
this fall; and with the numbor of candidates for Gu
bernatorial honors, both Democratic and Republican,
it is certain that we are going to have lively times.
6. Congressmen are to be elected in Georgia again
this fall.
7, County officers, from Ordinary to Coroner, are
also to be chosen in this State.
The above is the bill of fare, and the Eagle prom
ises that its readers shall have the news in its freshest
form, with editorial and epistolary sauce, suitable to
each dish served up. And while we propose to keep
fully up with the news, we shall also retain our mis
cellaneous selections and agricultural aud household
departments on the outside of our paper.
Politically,
The Eaglb will continue to aot with the Democratic
party; but while it does so, it will contend aud battle
foi the land marks erected by Jefferson, and will ex
, pose corruptions, and fight rings and cliques, let them
be found wherever they may.
To Our Old Patrons,
we would say, help us extend oua circulation !
Let each subscriber interest him or herself in sending
us anew one, and it will enable us to furnish a paper
that shall increase in interest each week.
Cash in Advance.
The price at which we furnish our paper just about
covers the cost of the paper, and tho actual labor done
on it; we are, therefore, compelled to establish the
rule that we will receive no new subscriptions unless ac
companied by the money.
o|d Subscribers.
Of these, we have many who are prompt—they pay
on sight; and with them we never have trouble. But
then we have others who are slow to pay, and this
class we earnestly urge to come forward and settle,
and aid us in extending our circulation.
Send all moneys by P. O. Order or Registered Let
ter, at our risk.

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1875^
CHEAPER AND BETTER THAN EVER!
Postage Free to Subscribers!
During the year 1874 the position of the Tribune as
tie “leading American newspaper’’ has come to bo
gi nerally recognized. Politically it maintains with
itt o and fervor its old Gospel of Freedom and Equality,
but maintains its independence ot party dictation; ami
has rarely, in its whole history, found its political
recommendations so much heeded by both parties, or
so thorouelily vindicated by tho people, as during the
last twelve months. Its bitterest foes, while assail
ing it as fiercely as of old oil political or other grounds,
never now question its pre-emiueDee as a newspapi .
It is confessedly the foremost in the country, it lias
won the position, and it means to hold it by the em
ployment of the best ability, by the most watchful,
conscientious attention, and by the most lavish i-o
penditdro of money to procure whatever money wiii
buy, in its readers’service. Its exponnitnres in this
way during the past year were over one million and a
half of dollars. For the results of this outlay it asks
from each single subscriber to the weekly, two dol
lars; from each subscriber in aclul) of thirty or more;
ono dollar, and it pays the postage itself. Persons
not familiar with the weekly Tribune, or former sub
scribers wbo may be uncertain about its present
standing or merits, are invited to take it a short time
on trial.
In future no extra charge will be made for address
ing papers to each member of a club, and postmasters
who desire it will receive packages with each paper
addressed to its owner at the lowest price—practi
cally a reduction of thirty cents a year from the pre
vious lowest club rates.
The postage on editions of the Tribune are paid by
the ofli e without charge to the subscribers The
weekly Tribune thus becomes to subscribers in clubs
the cheapest,as it lias long been tho best paper pub
lushed. * k *
Agents wanted in every town.
