The Odd Fellows excursion to At

We had a pleasant call on Thursday
from Mr. Earlie L. Jennings, who is
traveling in the interest of the Atlanta
Times and Sunny South. He is repre
senting two of the best papers in Geor

subscribers and greenbacks in propor
tion.
It will be seen by reference to the
proceedings of Council, that steps have
been taken to purchase and lay out a
new cemetery for our city. We ex
pected to have somewhat to say on the
subject this week, but other pressing
engagements and the demands on our
columns compel a postponement.
The Baptist State Convention, which
held its annual session at Thomasville
last week, selected Gainesville as the
place for the next meeting of that body.
This influential body will doubtless be
cordially received by our people, and
entertained during their stay with that
hospitality for which our mountain city
is justly noted.
A baud of horse thieves have been
for some time past depredating on the
citizens of Jackson and Madison coun
ties. It is thought there is an organ
ized baud extending probably into
Alabama. Several horses and mules
have been stolen within the last few
weeks, and as yet none of the thieves
have been captured, so far as we have
learned.
It will bo seen by reference to the
advertisement of the Nacooclioo high
school, that the services of Mis Mary
B. Butt have been secured as principal
in the music department. This is an
excellent selection, and will afford the
young ladies of that school facilities
equal to the very best for acquiring a
thorough knowledge of this brauch of
education.
Captain Enoch Anderson, of Banks,
one of the most staunch and reliable
Democrats we over knew, was a dele
gate to the Convention here on the
2Gth. He is getting along in years,
but lie lias lost none of tho tiro of his
youth. He is as ready to defend what
he considers right, and denounce what
he thinks wrong, as he was thirty
years ago.
We are informed that a mineral
spring has been discovered near the
late residence of Joseph W. Loopor,
m Dawson county, which is attracting
considerable attention. The water is
chalybeate, and has proved highly
beueiio al to several invalids who have
used it. Wo learn that arrangements
will be made to accommodate all who
may visit the spring during the present
season.
Wo are pained to learn that Mrs.
Lucy Owen, wife of our esteemed
friend, Captain John W. Owen, died
in Toccoa City, on Monday, 17th inst..,
of plurisy. Mrs. Owen was a model
lady, and but a little while ago seemed
to have the promise of many years with
her devoted husband and little babes.
Her remains were carried to Homer
for interment.

We were pleased to meet on Wodnes
lay morning last, Capt. J. N Chand
ler, who left Banks county soon after
'die war, and since that time has been
residing in Texas. Ho looks as hale
and hearty, and >lO older than when
we used to know him as a soldier. His
many friends scattered through North
East Georgia, and especially tho sur
vivors of tho old 24th Geoigia, will be
glad to have this information in regard
to Capt. Chandler, and we know that
all of them will join us in wishing him
a safe return to his home in the State
of his adoption, and that ho “may livo
long and prosper.”
Died, at Belltou, March 18, 187 G, of
cholera infantum, little Jewell Myers,
youngest and only son of our esteemed
fellow-citizen, J. M. Myers.
Alas! little Jewell, like a rose per
fect in beauty, it rested gracefully upon
its stalk, and its perfume filled the air.
Many stopped to gaze upon it; many
bowed to taste its fragrance, and its
owner hung over it with delight. I
passed again, and behold, it was gone;
its stem was leafless; its roots had
withered; tho enclosure which sur
rounded it was broken down; the
spoiler had been there; ho saw that
many admired it; he knew it was dear
to Him who planted it, and besides it
be had no other plant to love.
‘•Though bright autl fair is Beauty’s flower,
Too soou its fragrance must decay;
It blooms but for a little Imur,
And tbeu ’tis doomed to fade away."
“But Virtue, pure aud sacred, lives
liuyond the reach of change or time;
Its grace, its loveliness, survives
io blossom in a heavenly clime. ’

science aud the Bible, when the latter
is correctly translated.

Report of Committee on Cemetery
received and read.
We, your committee, beg leave to
make the following report on the ex
pediency of purchasing anew ceme
tery, and providing a burial place for
the colored people:
“We recommend that the City Coun
cil purchase twenty or more acres of
land, on what is known as Soapstone
Hill, on the Shallow Ford road. This
we consider the most eligible location
near the city. We would have this
purchased and enclosed at once, and
laid off iu suitable lots for family bury
ing grounds, and sold at auction, and
that this cemetery be set apart entire
ly for the whites.
“We also recommend that the re
mains of those already buried in the
present cemetery be removed to the
new cemetery, to be located on Soap
stone Hill.
“We would further recommend that
the present cemetery, belonging to the
city, be sot apart for a burial place foi
the dead of our colored population.
“Wo would most respectfully recom
mend that the new cemetery be called
‘Fail view. ’
llespeetfuily sulmiiited.

J. It. Biuce.

On motion of Alderman Lilly a com
mittee of three be appointed to see
wbat said land would cost, terms, etc.,
and report at next meeting of Council.
The Mayor appointed Alderman Lilly,
Banks and Panel.
Tho Mayor, D. G. Candler, entered
the following protest to the action of a
majority of Council, in the matter oi
the purchase of land for a uow ceme
tery, on the following grounds:
Ist. That the purchase of anew
cernotery is a useless and unwise ex
penditure of the people’s money.
2d. That the proposod site on Soap
stone Ridge is less eligible and more
difficult of approach than the present
cemetery.
3d. That to convert the present
cemetery into a negro burying ground,
(as proposed,) after fifty of our citizens
have been buried there iu obedience to
the Ordinances of the city, and thus
compelling the removal of their re
mains by their friends, or to remain in
an inappropriate place, would be an
act of bad faith on the part of the City
CouDc.il of Gainesville.

The Turkish Bath.
We were down at Atlanta a few days
ago, and being somewhat afflicted with
the prevailing “epizooty,” we visited
Staiuback Wilson’s Turkish Bath, aud
passed from the “frigidarium” to the
“lavatorium,” iu the most luxurious
manner known to the institution. Our
cold was cured, and we feel uow a
hundred per cent, better than we did
before taking the bath. We advise
everybody suffering with general de
bility, neuralgia, rheumatism, dyspep
sia, paralysis, colds, etc., to visit the
Hygenic Institute, Atlanta, Ga., and
be cured permanently and effectually
without the use of nauseating medi
cines.
Dr. Wilson’s Institute is the only
one of the kind iu the Southern States,
and deserves a liberal patronage from
those who had rather be cured when
sick without medicine.

in stating that, sometime previous to the late
war, I used, with the utmost success, on a
servant girl, your Female Regulator, pre
pared then at Bradfield’s Drug Store, West

To excel in improvement is the leading olc
lueut of this country, and no other article o!
labor-saving machinery has equalled in this re
spect the sewing machine in rapid strides of
improvement. Among them the Wilson Shut

iug one in this connection. Everything has
been added to it that coustart experimenting
and science could suggest, and it is offered to
the public to-day without au equal for family
use. Light, rapid, beautiful, durable and
perfect, the Wilson holds the leading place
among the best sewing machines in use.

Sir .lollii Franklin.
History possesses fewer examples of more
heroic bearing and self sacrificing efforts for
the advancement of the material interests of
mankind than that exhibited by this noble
martyr in his exertions to make a discovery
which if accomplished would open to the world
advantages bi-youd computation. But how
insignificant are geographical discoveries,
when compared with those that beuottt the
human organization, showing how iu this life
enemies may bo vanquished, how the brain
may he .invigorated aud rendered capable of
grasping tho most abstruse, whether scienti
lie, commercial or mechanical. This can nev
er be the case while the body is enfeebled by
disease. The blood must be healthy, all
machinery .of body must be in perfect work
ing order, otherwise the brain is weak and to
tal iucompeleucy to grasp the great issues of
life is the result.
Such a discovery has been made by Da.
i’uTT in his celebrated Liver Pills. They have
accomplished more good to the human family
than could ever have been attained by the
•success of Sir John Franklin.

Gainesville, Ga., July sth, 1875.
Dr. Brock—Sir My wife has been suffering for the
last toD years with Chronic Diarrbie, and Prolapsus
Utori, or Falling of the Womb, and I had tried
various physicians, together with innumerable do
mestic remedios without benelit farther than'mere
temporary relief. Hearing of the woudorlui cures
made by the use of your Celebrated Liver and Dvs
peotic Compound, I was induced to try a bottle, ana
to my groat surprise had tho satisfaction of while .
ing a moßt speedy convalescence of both maladies,
notwithstanding they were ot recommended for the
latter named disease. She has used some four or live
bottles, and to-day is enjoying as good health as any
one of her age, and I can moßt cheerfully roe mmend
them to any one Buffering from any disease for which
they are recommended. Very respectfu ly,

Tiie Gainesville Eagle
FCR THE
CENTENNIAL TEAR!
Iu offering the Eagle to tho public in the beginning
of the most important iu the hnudred years of the
Nation’s existence, it i proper to return our profound
acknowledgment to its patrons lor the 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’ tho people of
Georgia, and to record the important events of the
day as they transpire, in all parts of the country.
The newspapers of this country are fast superseding
tho public orat rs and politicians in shap ng the af
fairs of the government, because they reach thousands
of our stalwart population—men, women and chil
dren—who have become disgusted with the harangue
of designing men, who do not keep, ot* an averag,oue
m fitly of their promises.
The year 187 C will be filled with important events,
and no family who cares to keep posted can afford to
be without at least one newspaper.
Wo submit the following points:
1. Congress u eets early iu January, and there is no
doubt o tho fact that it will bo tho I’lost important ses
si u since tho foundation of tho Republic.
2. The Georgia Legislature meets on the 12tli day
of January, and tin question of a Constitutional Con
vent! jj, tho dog law. stock law, the State’s indorse
ment m railroad bonds, the Treasury complications,
etc., etc., mat:era about whish the people want to
keep posted.
3. The Presidential compaign on which we are just
uow entering will be tho most important one iu 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 over witnessed in any country.
5. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep
resentatives, and half of the Senate, are to be chosen
this fal 1; and with the number of candidates for Gu
bernatorial honors, both Democratic and Republican,
it is certain that we are going to have lively times.
C. Congressmen aro 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 tho Eagle prom
ises that its readers shall have the news iu 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 and household
departments on the outside of our paper.
Politically,
The Eagle will continue to aot with the Democratic
party; but while it does so, it will contend aud battle
lor tho land marks erected by Jelt'efsou, aud will ex
pose corruptions, and fight rings and cliques, let them
be found wherever they may.
To Our Old Patrons,
we would say, uuLr us extend oua circulation !
Let each subscriber iLterest him or herself iu sending
us anew one, aud it will enable us to furnish a paper
that sha 1 increase iu interest each week.
Cash in Advance.
The price at which we furnish our paper just about
covers the cost of the paper, and the actual labor done
on it; we are, therefore, compelled to establish tho
rule that we will receive no new subscriptions unless ac
companied by the money.
Old Subscribers.
Ol these, we have many who aro prompt—they pay
oil sight; and with them we never have trouble. Bui
then we have others who are slow to pay, and this
class we earnestly urge to come forward and settle,
aud aid us in extendin , our circulation.
Send all moneys by I O. Order or Registered Let
ter, at our risk.

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1876.
CHEAPER AND BETTER THAN EVER !
Postage Free to Subscribers!
During the year 1874 the position of the Tribune as
tho “leading American newspaper” has come to be
generally recognized. Politically It maintain< with
its old fervor its old Gospel of Freedom and Equality,
but maintains its independence ol party dictation; and
has rarely, in its whole history, found its political
recommendations so much hooded by both parties, or
so thoroughly vindicated by the people, as during the
last twelve mouths. Its bitterest foes, while assail
ing it as fiercely as of old on political or other grounds,
never uow question its pre-eminence as a newspaper.
It is confessedly the foremost iu the country. It has
won tho position, and it means to hold it by tho em
ployment of the best ability, by tho most watchful,
conscientious attention, and by the most lavish ox
peuditdre of money to procure whatever money will
buy, in its readers’ service, its expenuitures iu this
way during the past year were over one million and a
lull'of dollars. For the results of this outlay it asks
from each single subscriber to the weekly,‘two dol
lars; from each subscriber in aclub of thirty or more,
one dol>ar, and it pays the postage itself. Persons
not tami iar with the weekly Tribune, or former sub
scribers who may be uncertain about its present
standing or merits, are invited to take it a short time
on trial.
in future no ext a charge will be made for address
ing papers to each member of a club, and postmaHtei a
who desire it will receive packages with each paper
add res ed to its owner at the lowest price—practi
. ally a reduction of thirtv cents a year irom tho pre
vious lowest club rates.
Tho postage on editions of tho Tribune aro paid by
the oili o without charge to the subscribers. The
weekly Tribune thus becomes to subscribers in clubs
the cheap st,as it has long beou the best paper pub
lished.
