Wednesday, tho 2(itli instant, boino; tlio anniversary of Odd Fellowship, the “LYatuimfc}’' at this place celebrated tbo day with appropriate ceremonies. Sheriff Burt, of Dawson county, cap lured Geo. \Y Sieole, a rather noto rious diameter, on Sunday morning last, and confined him iu tho jail at Dawsouville. Wo suppose that down in Gwinnett greenbacks have played out entirely, an wo notice tho good people iu that section aro uow counting live chickens to tho dollar.

It' tbn Turnpike is built a flourishing little town will spring up at every sta liou, (ten 01 twelve miles apart,) and land will bo enhanced in value from twenty-live to cue hundred per cent. Winter iiml summer have completely annihilated spring this year. On the night of the 19th of March, wo had ten inches of snow, and uow a month afterwards the leaves are oa many of the trees full grown ! We learn that W. 11. Logan, Esq., formerly Ordinary of Union county, died at Mdledgeville on Wednesday of last week. May He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb sustain and support the widow and the fatherless. Peter Henry and Henry Wright have established an eating saloon at the cor ner of Main and Lawrencevillo street. They are b>>th polite and trustworthy •colored men, aud will doubtless give satisfaction to their customers. The Odd Fellows excursion to At lanta last Saturday was a grand suc cess. It was well patronized, and everything passed oft pleasantly. We are under obligations to the officers in charge for special favors, and hope the Older may loug live to send out an nually their spring-time excursion. 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 gia, and we wish him a long list of 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. ’ A Friend. i ho Soul mid Origin of* Life, By M.

Dr. Ste phenson is well known in Georgia, and indeed all over the whole South, ns a scientist and independent thinker.

Redwine, endorsed by a goodly num ber of citizens, requesting Council to send delegates to the meeting of the corporators of the Gainesville, Blairs ville and North Western Turnpike, to be held at Cleveland, White county, on Tuesday, 2d of May next, received. On motion of Alderman Panel, the Mayor and Council appointed seven delegates to attend said meeting. The following citizens were appointed : J. E. Redwine, W. A. Brown, W. F. Hooker, A. J. Comer, A. Whelchel, A. D. Candler, Dr. R. E. Green. 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. C. A. Lilly. J. It. Biuce. T. A. Panel. 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. Finance committee approved aud ordered paid: D. E. Banks (chairman) for street work, $8.75. Council adjourned. D. G. Candler, Mayor. A. B. C. Dorsey, Clerk. 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.

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. 'T'lie Markets. Jd’iXLSbOCLOlttl * OORRECTED BY BANKS & BRO.

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. REDWINE & ESTES, Proprietor* “Eagle,” On lit csv illc, Ga. NACOOCHES HIGH SCHOOL, (Bale and Female) Nacoochee, White County, Georgia. lS7(i.

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. Agents wanted in every town.
