with necessary corrections.

father, Mr. Robert C. Green to Miss
Mary Hanes—both of Hall County.

county.
The election last Saturday for a
Justice of the Peace and two Consta
bles, resulted iu the re-election of A.
J. Davis, Justice, and Obed Smith and
R. B. Davis, constables. The 411th
O'. M. is well olncereu.
Should any of our ruing friends need
pumping machinery, they woul l do
well to examine tho advertisement of
Mr. Geo. A. Barnard, of Atlanta,
which appears in this issue. We know
that Mr. B. will deal on the square
with any one who may desire the arti
cles he is offering.
Messrs. Davis & Cox wish to sell
furniture very cheap, and offer great
inducements. They modestly hint also
that those indebted to them, would do
welT to “call at the Captain’s office and
settle.” They say they “mean busi
ness," so you that need furniture call
and buy it cheap, and you that owe
them “shell out.”
Messrs. J. J. & S. P. Richards, of
Atlanta, have established a book store
in our city, in the McDonald house,
on spring street, the house formerly
occupied by Dr. Byers as a drug store.
This is a branch of the Atlanta house,
and will be known by the name of
Richards & Go. Mr. J. B. Cooper
takes charge of the business here.
Phoenix like, Mr. A. Whelchel has
arisen from the ashes, and has opened
in the Candler building, at the old
stand of E. S. Wiley. lie is offering
great inducements to customers, and
earnestly solicits those who are indebted
to him to call and settle. He thinks—
and who wouldn’t—that a merchant
badly damaged by the late lire, ought
to have what is due him. See his card
in another place.
At a late examination of Mrs. L. L.
Butt’s Music Class, Misses Leonie
Graves, Mattie Banks, Mollie Comer,
Fannie Jacksou and Master Lee Long
street and others were awarded prizes.
The proficiency of Mrs. Butt’s pupils
reflects great credit on their accom
plished instructress, and speaks well
for the talent and industry of the pu
pils themselves. The success of this
estimable lady in imparting musical
instructions is well known here, and
we hope that our citizens will see to
it, that she receives the patronage she
so richly merits.
Those who need doors, sash, blinds,
moulding, brackets, etc., or anything
else in the building line, are notified
by Mr. T. A. Panel, in his advertise
ment, that he is prepared to furnish
them with such articles as good as the
best, and as cheap as the cheapest. No
use to send to a distance for such things,
as Mr. Panel is ready to supply ‘'good
work, plumb work and square work,”
at prices to suit the times. Live and
let live is his motto. Try him and we
venture to assgrt that you will not go
away dissatisfied.

We again invite the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of our
City College, and in duiug so take oc
casion to congratulate our people on
the fact that its management has been
contided to the bauds of so able and
efficient an educator as Prof. LaHatte.
The following complimentary notice,
which we clip from the Columbus En
quirer, we take pleasure iu reproduc
ing in this connection as showing in
what estimation the Professor is held
by those who know him best. It says:
‘Prof. C. B. LaHatte, at present of
Hamilton, has been elected president
of Gainesville College, in Gainesrille,
in this State, and will soon remove to
bis location. We can congratulate the
trustees on securing such au excellent
officer and teacher. He is a young man,
a minister, and a thorough gentleman,
who did his duty on the battlefield for
his section during the war. Having
received a finished education, he
adopted teaching as a profession which
he exhibits with an aptitude of a mark
ed character, and for years has had
charge of large schools, in the con
duct of which he has displayed execu
tive ability of the highest erdsr. He
has proved himself cultured, energetic
and enterprising. The Gainesville
College is under the direct charge of
that city. The building is a large one
of brick, and is owned by the munici
pality. The institution numbers 150
students and can be increased to 200.
Gainesville has a population of 4,000,
and is traversed by the Air line and a
street railroad. The city will gain in
Prof. LaHatte an estimable citizen and
an instructor of the superior class.”
Nacoochee Male anti Female High School.
As will appear from an advertisement
elsewhere, the spring session of this
celebrated school for 1817, opens on
the 22d inst., under the most favorable
auspices. The able corps of teachers
are too well known to need any com
mendation at our hands. Located in
the loveliest valley in the South, sur
rounded by sublime mountain scenery,
with cheap but excellent board, and the
very minimum rates of tuition, this in
stitution presents attractions equal to
any in the country. Those, especially
in the low country, who desire to afford
their children superior educational ad
vantages, as well as the benefits of pure
air and water, would do well to corres
pond with Rev. J. J. Methvin, princi
pal, Nacoochce, White county, Ga.
Rahim (jap High School.
This first-class institution, located in
the beautiful valley of Head of Ten
nessee, in charge of Prof. W. A. Cur
tis, presents its claims to public patron
tJrro'fcJv aakaas Wa do not.
know of an institution in the country
that offers superior advantages to this.
The salubrity and healthfulness of the
climate in which it is located, the fine
ability of its teachers, the completeness
of its curriculum, and the exceeding
low rates of board and tuition, render
it one of the most attractive institu
tions in the South. Parents and guar
dians, who have boys and girls to
educate, would do well to examine
Prof. Curtis’ advertisement.
Last Friday night, the following of
ficers of Air Line Lodge were regular
ly installed for the ensuing term:
A. B. C. Dorsey, N. G.
George Rakestraw, V. G.
John A. Webb, R. S.
C. A. Lilly, P. S.
R. C. Maddux, T.
After the adjournment of the Lodge,
the officers of Gainesville Encampment
No. 17, were installed as follows:
H. S. Bradley, C. P.
C. A. Lilly, 11. P.
W. B. Clements, S. W.
George Rakestraw, J. IV.
W. S. Pickrell, Scribe.
G. C. Clements, T.
These Lodges enter upon the new
year with bright prospects.
The following officers were elected
for Dawson county at the election held
on the 3d inst.
Ordinary—Hiram B Smith.
Clerk—John W Hughes.
Sheriff'—R E Burt.
Tax Receiver—Moses M Burt.
Tax Collector—John C Edmondson.
Treasurer—J. F. Castlebury.
Surveyor—R. B. McClure.
Coroner—James Baber.
This is an excellent corps of officers,
all of whom will doubtless discharge
their duties to the satisfaction of the
people. Sheriff’ Burt, who has been
re elected, we believe without opposi
tion, is one of the most vigilant and
efficient officers in the State. Mr.
Smith, the Ordinary elect, is a son of
Rev. W. C. Smith, of this county, and
has hosts of warm friends here who
will rejoicj at his success.
Union county elected the following
officers on the 3d inst:
Ordinary—Joshua Anderson.
Sheriff-N B Hill.
Clerk of Court—W M Duncan.
Tax Receiver—James Ried.
Tax Collector—James McCollum.
Treasurer—Joseph Stephens.
Coroner—James G Fields.
Surveyor—Thos. Fleming.
The Ordinary and Sheriff’ are re
elections, both of whom are tried and
faithful officers. The ethers are good
citizens, and will doubtless meet the
expectations of their friends in the
discharge of their respective duties.
Tribute f Respect.
The Committee appointed by YonaU
Lodge No. 259 F. A. M. to draft
resolutions in regard to the death of
Brother Andrew Merritt, beg leave to
make the following report:
While we know that “all men must
die,” yet the thought does not remove
the pang that rankles in the bosom
when wc stand hv the grave of a de
ceased friend and brother.
Andrew Merritt was born on the
day of 18 and died on the
21st day of December 1876. He was
just- merging into the prime of life,
aud iu the midst of a large circle of
friends when the summons came.—
Born and reared in the county where
he died, he was respected and com
manded a large share of the trust and
confidence of his fellow citizens.
Beginning life with no peculiar ad
vantages of fortune, his rise in life was
due to his own patient industry and
perseverance.
Although our Brother Merritt lin
gered long and suffered much from the
disease which terminated his life, yet
he bore his sufferings with such pa
tience and resignation as only the
Father of Mercies can give.
Brother Merritt leaves a wife and
four children and we know that the
Brotherhood here assembled will watch
and protect them, and pray the blessings
of the “Friend of the widow and or
phan” upon them.
The committee recommend the adop
tion of the following resolutions:
Resolved Ist, That in the death of
Andrew Merritt, we have lost a true
and tried brother—a friend who was
always ready to sympathize and defend
his friends, no matter what the sacri
fice.
Resolved 2nd, That we deeply sym
pathize with the family of our deceased
brother, and we here offer our tribute
to his memory.
Resolved Bd, That the Lodge be
draped in mourning for thirty days,
and that the secretary be requested to
leave a blank page upon the minutes.
Resolved 4th, That the secretary he
requested to furnish the family of our
deceased brother with a copy of these
resolution and a copy of the same to
the Gainesville Eagle for publication.

The Mayor and Council, at the re

up and destroyed $6,000 of tfic city
currency. There is still uncollected of
the city tax for the year 1876, which is
in executions and can be collected, the
sum of S2BO 41.
The present indebtedness of the city
is as follows:

Outstanding orders for 1870 520 00

Total indebtedness $6,755 00
The interest on the public debt has
been promptly met, and all demands
on the city treasury paid ou presenta
tion, and it will be seen from the
above cash report, that there is now in
the city treasury the sum of $127 63,
and that the present administration
has added to the material wealtli of
the city by improvements ou the col
lege property and cemetery, and on

SUCCESS
—IS THE—
Test of Merit,
VEGETINE.
The great success of Vegetine in curing such
diseases as Scrofula, inherited in the blood, to
getlier with the increasing demand of the medi
cine, is conclusive evidence of its actual merit.
No medicine was ever placed before the public
with so much positive proof of its real value as
the \ EGF.TINI‘, which has cured many cases of
Scrofula of live, ten and twenty years’ standing,
where the patient has had ninny physicians,
tried many of the known remedies; and, after
trying the Vegetine, tire common remark is,
“it acts differently, works differently, from any
medicine l have ever taken.” Vegetine will
cleanse Scrofula from the system. Try it.
Unprecedented Merit.
Boston, Jan. Ist, 187 G.
H. It. Stevens, Ksq.— Dear .Sir: For many
years I have been afflicted with a humor in the
blood which finally developed into Scald Head,
and only those who are similarly afflicted can
realize the disagreeable suffering one is com
pelled to endure with this complaint. For a
long time my head was in a dreadful condition.
I used various kinds of remedies and medicines,
some of which was especially prepared for me.
I :got 110 better,—indeed, constantly grew worse,
the surface of my head being entirely covered
with sores of the most aggravated nature. This
was my condition when I commenced taking the
Vegetine, .which I am pleased to inform you
and the public (if you choose to make it public),
has made a complete and satisfactory euro of
my disease; and 1 shall always deem it a great
"pleasure to mention the unprecedented merit of
Vegetine. 1 remain, very thankfullv,
CHARLES K. SMITH.
338 Fourth streei, South Boston.
All Diseases of the Blood.
If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians,
. .tnbljy tanieiiies . suffering for years, is it'not con
clusive proof, if yon are a sufferer, you can'Bs~
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? It works in the blood, in the
circulating fluid. It can truly be called the
GREAT BhOOD PURIFIER. The groat source
of disease originates in the blood; aud no med
icine that does not act directly upon it, to purify
and renovate, has any just claim upon public
attention.
Seventy-one Years of Age.
East Marshfield, Aug. 22,1670.
Mr. Stevens, Dear Sir: 1 am seventy-one
years of age; have suffered many voars with
Kidney Complaint, weakness in my back and
stomach. I was induced by friends ‘to try your
Vegetine, and I think it is the best medicine
for weakness of the kidneys I ever used. 1
have tried many remedies for this complaint,
and never I'ouud so much relief as from tho
Vegetine. It strengthens and invigorates tim
whole system. Many of my acquaintances have
taken it, and 1 believe it to be good for all tho
complaints for which it is recommended.
Yours truly, JOS IAII If. SHERMAN.
Reliable Evidence.
Mis. H. R. Stevens,—Dear Sir: I will most
cheerfully add my testimony to the great num
ber you have already received in favor of your
great and good medicine, Vegetine, for i do
not think enough can be said in its praise, for I
was troubled over 30 years with that dreadful
disease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing
spells that it would seem as though I never
could breath any more, and Vegetine has
cured me, and 1 do feel to thank God all the
time that there is so good a medicine as Vege-
TINE, and 1 also think it one of the best medi
cines for coughs and weak, sinking feelings at
the stomach, and advise everybody to take the
Vegetine, for 1 can assure them it is one of
the best medicines that ever was.

IT. R. Stevens,— Dear Sir; This is to certify

(Vkoetine) in my family for several years, ami
I think that for Scrofula and Cankerous Hu

celled; and as a Blood Purifier and spring medi

have used almost everything, r can cheerfully
recommend it to any" one in need of such a

the next year will be the same as during
the year that has just passed. The daily edi
tion will on week days be a sheet 01 tour
pages, and on Sundays a sheet of eight pages,
or 56 broad columns; while the weekly edition
wilt be a sheet of eight pages of the same di
mensions aud character that are already fami
liar to our friends.
The Hun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and of
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom,
aud integrity for holloa’pretenoe, imb oility,
and fraud in the administration of public
affairs. It will contend for the government of
the people by the people and lor the people,
as opposed to govern ent by frauds in the
ballot-box and in the counting of votes, en
forced by military violence. It will a deavor
to supply its readers— a body now not far from
a million of souls—with the most cartful,
complete, and trustworthy aocounts of current
events, and will employ for this purpose a
numerous and carefully selected staff of ro
“porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurping what the law does not give thorn,
while it will endeavor to merit the confidence
of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the encroachments of unjustifi
ed power.

The benefit of this largo reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly eau be enjoyed

IT* O Dt 1877.
Ou the Ist of January, lS'77, the Morning
News enters upon its twenty-seventh volume,
and, it is hoped by its oondnotors, upon a
prosperous year. Every returning anniversa
ry has witnessed its extending influence, and
to-day it is the text of the political faith of
thousands of readc-rs. Its uniform consisten
cy and steadfast devotion to principle baa
gained for it the confidence of the public,thus
enabling it to contribute largely to the tri
umph of the Democratic party.
In the future, as in the past, no pains will
be spared to make the Morning New’ in every
lespect still more deserving of the confidence
and watronage which has been so liberally ex
tended to it bs the people of Georgia and,
Florida. The ample means of the establish
ment will be devoted to the improvement of
the paper iu ail its departments, and to mak
