Trade is looking up, and the mer chant’s face is brighter. During this hot weather, don’t men tion the word Hottentot. The public square is crowded every day with all kinds of vehicles. And the voice of the patent medi cine man is heard in the laud. Home people seek tho shady side, because they are too lazy to grin. Genuine Havanah cigars at f*c a piece at Dr. Bradley’s Drug Store. Tim lmnt Iji'iiuclh of tobaccos anil cigars at I)r. Braille’s Drugstore. We notice Mr. Thomas Little, ex jii'ojiriotor of the Gainesville hotel, in the city. We had a ripe cantaloupe weighing four pounds from our garden on last Wednesday. Pleasure seekers and invalids con tinue to crowd our hotels and board ing houses. Several parties have passod through the city the past week on their way to Porte)' Springs. W. It. Bolding was in the city last Tuesday. He reports good rains in his part of the county. Work has commenced on Mr. Pfeifer’s brick building. W. K. Merck is super intendent of the masonry. Our follow townsman, D. E. Banks, will start for Now York next Sunday. He will take in the Centennial on the way. Marble playing lias supei'seded cro quet of late. It is indulged in by the ladies and gentlemen in the front yards. Avoid all kinds of stimulating drinks during this warm weather; but drink freely of our cold sparkling water, which needs no ice. We heard one of our chief Good Templars say ho drank three quarts of cider last week, (not at once, though.) ’Trot out your lager next. Wo sympathize with the man who tries to .sleep those warm nights close to a dog tied to a stake, making night hideous with his howls. On next Sunday the pastor of the Baptist church will deliver, at 11 a. in., “A sermon for those at summer re treats.” All are invited. Wo would like to know where the man who wrote those beautiful lines: “The green grass under the snow,” spends these hot months. The senll’olding on the front side of the Henderson building has been torn away, and the work of painting and finishing up commenced.

The ‘runner’ brings in the weary traveler every day. Stop with Johnson once, and you will be sure to call again. The Oconee White Sulphur Springs, six miles east of Gainesville, is fast filling up. Here the invalid will find four kinds of water—sulphur, iron, pure free store and lime. The tax collectors of all the sur rounding counties will be supplied with blank receipts, printed in the best style and neatly bound, by apply ing to the Eagle job office. Can’t some of our enterprising dar kies form a company to go West and avenge Custer. They might get up a sensation for the next Centenn a], and perhaps have a monument erected to their memory. If yon are out of any thing to do this hot weather, don’t go about siand ering your neighbor and poking your nose into other people’s business; but dig you some worms and go fishing, or sit down and pour sand on your legs. Mr. T. V. McAfee, lax collector of White county, called to see us on Wed nesday. 11c reports crop prospects generally good in his county. Some neighborhoods are beginning to uood rain, but in others tho seasons have been fine. Our esteemed correspondent “G. T. A.,” will please accept our sincere thanks for tho flattering terms employ ed in indorsing our course. Such words of cheer stimulates us to renew ed effort. Our modesty, however, for bids the publication of the article. Prof. Wilkes opens his public school on the 14th of August, to continue throe months. All children between the ages of six and oigbtoon years, living within the Gainesville or 411th district, are entitled to tho privileges of the school during this time. Mr. T. 11. Sanford left at our office a few days ago, a bunch of line straw berries, which was a rarity for the sea son. On the vines there was fruit in all stages of maturity, from that which had just dropped its bloom to tho ripe berry. Our efficient depot agent, AV. L. •Johnson, assisted by the gentlemanly express agent, C. O. Nesbit, are re painting and whitewashing their office. The reason given is, that Dom Pedro is near by, and thoy thought he might drop in to see them. E. H. Self, professor of plain and. ornamental penmanship, .will locturo at the Court House, Friday evening, July 21st, at 8 o’clock. Ladies and gentlemen are respectfully invited to attend. We have seen specimens of the professor’s work, and pronounce it equal to the very best. We are glad to see the street force on Groen street, as there are some places needing attention; and as it is the grand thoroughfare to Gower Spring, we imagine invalids will be pleased to know there are a less num ber of jolts between them and the springs than formerly. Mr. A. B. C. Dorsey brought to our office on Tuesday a basket of Irish po tatoes which surpassed anything we have soon in that line—several of them weighing a full pound. “Andrew” is a very successful gardner, and if he should turn Granger, as he has an inkling to do, will doubtless soon oc cupy a front seat. The Piedmont hotel, presided over by John G. Longstreet, is now in a nourishing condition. It is one of tho best constructed buildings in North east Georgia. Being built mainly for the convenience of pleasure seekers and invalids, the architect succeeding admirably in the undertaking.

This troupe canuot bo surpassed, and our citizens may expect a rare treat. Tho pro gramme is complete, and nothing will be produced that can in any manner offend the most fastidious. Wt bespeak for them a crowded house. Governor Smith and family came up on Tuesday evening and occupied the rooms prepared for them, at Mr. Quat tlebauws. The Governor himself re turned to Atlanta Wednesday to attend to pressing official business and will not return before Saturday. His fam ily will remain hero for a term and he will spend whatever time he can con sistant with the discharge of his pub lic duties. 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. \ an Horn and his splendid orchestra furnishing this part of the entertain ment. The concert, taken as a whole, was all that could be desired, and de served a crowded house Prof. Horace McLean’s inimitable songs addod great ly to the evening’s entertainment. 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.

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.

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.
