The concert on Wednesday night
was a decided success in everything
except the audience. The play “She
Stoops to Conquer,” is a charming
though difficult piece to play, but our
amateurs acquitted themselves with
great credit —some of them evincing
histrionic talent of a high order. The
music was perfectly charming. Prof.

Job Office. *
We havo recently made large addi
tions to our Job Office, and are now
prepared to do any and all kinds of
work in the job line in the neatest and
best style of the art, and at prices to
suit the times.
Mr. W. W. Hood, who is known and
recognized as one of the best printers
in the country, has charge of the office,
and will guarantee satisfaction in every
instance.
All work will be done at panic prices,
but for cash only, or its equivalent.
Estimates made on application.
We learn that a wheat club is being
organized by some of our leading farm
ers, just across the Chattahoochee. It
is proposed to organize with at least
ten members, each of whom shall pay
in ten dollars, with the understanding
that the member making the largest
yield of wheat from one acre, is to re
ceive the purse—the land and grain to
be measured by a disinterested com
mittee, to be selected by the club. All
the terms have not been definitely
agreed upon, but it is proposed, and
we think very properly, that each
member be allowed to cultivate as
many test acres as he pleases, with
the privilege of selecting at harvest
the one to be measured by the com
mittee. In this way each member will
make more than ono experiment, and
thus the general stock of information
will be largely increased.
The prime movers in this matter are
Win. Pass, Wyley Clark, A. S. Whel
chel and others.
We nope to hear of a similar organ
ization in every neighborhood in the
county, and indeed throughout this
section, and that to the purse for the
best acre of wheat will be added one
for the best acre of corn, of oats,
potatoes and grass—the best brood
mare and colt, tho best milch cow, tho
best hog, beef ox, etc. And to this
might bo added a long list of articles
pertaining to the household, garden
and orchard.
If a club of this kind Has organized
in ench neighborhood, a system of ex
perimental farming would be at once
inaugurated, and a spirit of emulation
and rivalry aroused that would result
in incalculable good to the country.
This would bo followed by prosperous
county agricultural societies, and then
a demand for a Northeast Georgia
agricultural fair, where all could ex
hibit their productions and show their
skill.
Editor Eagle: 1 do not wish to be
considered inquisitive or exacting, but
would like to know what the sidewalks
around the Public Square are made
and kept up for? I had thought they
were constructed for the convenience
of the public, and along wljjch -ladies
even could pass without obstruction.
It seems though that I am in error,
and that instead of affording a free
passage for pedestrians, they are built
to be used as loafering places for the
lords of creation, who have nothing
else to do. It seems to mo that if the
business men understood their true in
terests, this objectionable habit would
be broken up n,t once, for the true lady
when shopping will avoid, as far as
possible, those places where this class
most do congregate, and thus, in many
instances, customers are driven away,
whoso patronage would be worth some
thing, at least. Lydia.

SAVANNAH, GA.
THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN of 1876, which in- 1
eludes National, State and county elections, and
which will uudobtedly be the most active and hotly
contested of any since the memorable canvass of 1860,
is now fairly opened. The National Democratic party
will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless
successful struggle for the mainteuance and suprem
acy of those principles which are vital to tho prosper
ity of the Republic aud essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the people in
Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments.
In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually
vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first
time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden
State will elect a Democratic State government. In
these campaigns the people of the South are deeply
interested; and every intelligent citizen, who has tho
welfare of his country Mid his section at heart, should
acquaint himself with every detail of the great work
of redemption aud reform tßat is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to aud assist in
circulating the Savannah Morning News, an
independant Democratic newspaper, of pronounced
opinions and fearless in their expression; a paper
that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in tho
South. Its editorial department is vigorous, thought
ful, aud consistent, while its news and local depart
ments are marvels of industry aud completeness. Its
department of Georgia aud Florida affairs is uot con
fined to a mere barren summary of eveuts transpiring
in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once
apt, timely, aud racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will be
devoted to furnishing the readers of
THE MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tele
crams, aud by means of special correspondence; aud
through these agencies the paper will be the earliest
chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the politi
cal campaign of 1876.

One Hundred Years Ago!
The Gainesville Eagle
FOR the
CENTENNIAL YEAR!
Iu ottering the Eaole to the public in the beginning
of the most important in the huudred years of the
Nation’s existence, it is proper to return our profound
acknowledgment to its patrons for 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 of the people of
Georgia, aud to record the important events of tho
day as they transpire, in aU parts of tho country.
The 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—men, women and chil
dren—who have become disgusted with the harangue
of designing men, who do not keep, on an avorag.oue
in fifty of thoir 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. Gongrous meets early in January, and there is no
doubt o the fact that it will be the most impertant 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 compaign on which we are just
now ontering will be the most important one in the
history of our country.
4. On the 10th of May the great Centenniul celebra
bration opens in Philadelphia, and will be the grandest
exhibition ever witnessed in any country .
5. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep
resentatives, and half of tho Senate, are to be chosen
this fall; and with tho number 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 he elected iu Georgia again
this fall.
7. County officers, from Ordinary to Coroner, are
also to be chosen in this Stato.
Tho above ia 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 wo propose to keep
j*Jly up with the news, we shall also retain our mis
cellaneous selections and agricultural and household
d&ijflrtments 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 and battle
for the land-marks erected by Jefferson, aud will ex
pose corruptions, and fight rings and cliques, let them
be found wherever they may.
ONLY $35,00 PER TON, and one composted, ac
cording to directions furnished with each lot,
will make FIVE!
Read the following certificate from one of Georgia's
best and wisest farmers:
Palmetto, Ga., February 4, 1876.
A. C. Ladd, Esq., Atlauta, Ga. —Dear Sir: I used 250
pounds of Ladd's Alkaline Fertilizer last season as a
test; was well pleased with the result, and am desir
ous of using one or two tons this season, if I can ob

for it at this place if I can obtain it upon the right
terms. Write mo your ratos, cash ami credit, and
