Many Voters,
There are unwritten poems and un
sung songs sweeter than any that ever
were heard. Poems that only the
angels above and those who love us
may behold looking deep down in our
hearts when they are written in letters
of gold.
“Sing to my soul the song that thou livest;
Read me the peom that never was penned—
The beautiful idyll of lips that thou givest,
Fresh from thy spirit, oh beautitul friend."
Tax Collectors can have their receipts

and in short, you can get all kinds of

cuted, by an experienced printer, who
always guarantees satisfaction.
We learn the report has gone abroad
that the yellow fever is in Gainesville
—brought hero from Savannah, and
that some persons are detered from
visiting the city from fear of contract
ing the disease. All such should re
member that when the yellow fever is
carried beyond its own particular local
ity there is no moro danger of con
tracting it than there would be of con
tracting any other non-contagious dis
ease. If brought to Gainesville the
yellow fever would be as harmless so
far as contagion is concerned as a bad
cold.
Masonic Picnic.
On Saturday, the 9th inst., we had
the pleasure of attending a picnic at
Chestnut Mountain Lodge No. At an
early hour the beautiful grove around
the lodge room and academy was
thronged with the beauty and intelli
gence of the surrounding country.—
This is one of the finest sections of
lla.ll county, and the people will com
pare favorably in point of prosperity
and intelligence with those of any
other neighborhood in the State.
At 11 o’clock the procession was
formed at the lodge room, and pre
ceded by tho Gainesville brass band,
marched to the Presbyterian church
in a neighboring grove. For an hour
Major It. D. Winn, one of the most
learnod and zealous Masons in upper
Georgia, eutortained the audience with
one of tho most chaste Masonic ad
dresses to which we have listened for
a great while. At the conclusion of
Major Winn’s address, Colonel A. D.
Candler, of Gainesville, was called out
and delivered an impromptu address
of half an hour, which was well re
ceived by the large and attentive
audience.
After the speaking, the procession
was reformed and marched to the
table, which groaned under is load of
good things. It is said that the way
to a man’s affections is down his
throat. If this be so, the good wives
and maidens of Chestnut Mountain
certainly reached the affections of
every one of tho make persuasion on
the ground. Everything was in great
profusion, and as nice as could be.
The day was indeed a pleasant one,
and one long to be remembered.
We cannot close this brief notice
without allusion to the example set by
this excellent community'. On the same
acre of ground is a fine Masonic hall
and academy, with a well taught school
in it, and a large and commodious
church, all well painted and furnished.
This speaks volumes for the intelli
gence and enterprise of the people.
Such communities are rare, and their
example ought to be emulated.
Dawsonville, September 5,187 G.
Previous notice have been given by
the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of Dawson County', a Conven
tion was held here to-day, tor the pur
pose of nominating a candidate to
represent us in tho Legislature.
Rev. D. J. Burt was called to the
chair, and J. S. Taylor to act as Secre
tary.
After ballotting several times, Capt.
Joseph McAfee was declared nomina
ted by a two-thirds vote. The Con
vention pledge themselves to firmly
support the nominee.
On motion tho Convention Adjourn
ed until the first Tuesday in Novem
ber, for the purpose of nominating
county officers.
On motion tho Secretary was re
quested to have these proceedings
published in the Gainesville Eagle.
D. J. Burt, Chairman.
J. S. Taylor, Secretary.
Tlie Congressional Convention.
The Congressional nominating Con
vention met Wednesday morning at
9 o’clock, according to the announce
ment.
The convention organized by elect
ing Hon. John H. Christy, of Athens,
permanent chairman, and Col. J. B.
Silrnan, of Jackson County, Secretary,
and M. P. Caldwell assistant Secre
tary.
Upon the call of the counties, it was
found that all the counties of the dis
trict were represented by delegates
and proxies except the counties of Ra
bun & Banks.
The preliminary business being dis
posed of, the chairman announced that
nominations were in order, when R.
A. Eakes, of Forsyth County, presen
ted the name of Hon. B. H. Hill, and
moved that he be nominated by accla
mation, which was greeted with cheers
and unanimously carried.
Hon. W. P. Price, Col. E. C. McAfee
and Oscar Thomaston were appointed
a committee to notify Mr. Hill of the
action of the convention.
The following delegates were ap
pointed a committee to prepare busi
ness for the body: H. S. Bradley, Elba
Collins, J. C. Wilson, B. H. Overby and
W. S. Erwin.
During the absence of the Commit
tee, Hon. W. P. Price and Col. J. B.
Estes were called for, and responded
in an eloquent and forcible manner.—
Col. Estes’ speech was one of the hap
piest efforts of his life. He alluded in
an eloquent manner to the great una
nimity of action which had character
ized the deliberations of the Democrat
ic party in National and state conven
tions.
The business committee then repor
ted a series of resolutions, endorsing
the action of the party in its nomina
tion of Tilden and Hendricks as the
great standard bearers of the Democ
racy of the United States; and the
nomination of Gen. A. H. Colquitt for
the office of Governor of our State, and
also the action of this Convention in
its acclamatory nomination of Hon. B.
H. Hill, the defender of Southern
honor and chivalry, and the peerless
terror of Radicalism.
Immediately after the adoption of
these resolutions, the chairman read a
telegram from Mr. Hill, stating that
he would be in Gainesville on the first
train.
The work of appointing a Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee in the different countries having
been disposed of, the convention after
passing a resolution of thanks to the
President and Secretaries adjourned
nine die, with the request that all the
delegates who could so remain un
til Mr. Hill’s arrival.
At 5:10 quite a crowd of people had
assembled at the Depot to meet their
great favorite. Vanhorn & McLean’s
brass band was present, discoursing
some splendid music.
The train rolled in a few minutes
behind time, and with it came Benja
min H. Hill, who was* carried at once
to the Court House, where a large
crowd were gathered to hear his
matchless eloquence. *
He was introduced to the audience
by Hon. W. P. Price, of Lumpkin,
when he made one of his fine speeches,
holding tho vast crowd spell bound for
two hours. He accepted the flattering
nomination tendered him by the 9th
in a graceful manner, and pledged
himself to do his whole duty, fearlessly
and boldly—that he should never
make any inflammatory or unguarded
speeches, but that when he spoke he
would first have truth on his side, and
and being armed with truth he feared
no man.
Thus closed one of the most harmo
nious political conventions that ever
assembled in the State.
Hiwassee, September 11, 1876.
Pursuant to a call of the Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, the Convention met to nominate a

The History of n Great Enterprise.

original ineorporators of the Wilson Sewing
Machine Company embarked in the manufac
ture of Sewing Machines, aud from that timo
to the present, their time, talent, energy and
capital have been employed in making First

withal to confine the price within the reach ol
all classes of people; and success has crowned
their efforts in the production of the celebra
ted Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machinos, which
combine all the Elegance, Simplicity, Dura
bility and Strength possible for any sewing
machine to attain, and they aro the First and
Only First-Class moderate-priced machines
