T 11 E EAGLE. I T Y fTBM Friday Morning, January 12,187*. Keep your feet dry. Who will be Senator ? Tho weather continues. What about that iron foundry ? F. W. Redwine has laid aside his crutches. Who will be U. S. Senator is the question. Col. Wier Boyd, of Dahlonega, was in the city this week. Messrs. Clements & Whetstone are dissolving copartnership. • The weather has been sleety, snowy, slippery, slick, sloshy and slushy. Blessed is he who has a good fire to sit-by, and wood enough to make an other. Hall county will be well represented in the matter of candidates for legisla tive appointments. A large drove of Tennessee mules passed through the city last week.— They were going South. The cow ordinance will be rigidly enforced from this date. Cow will take due notice thereof. Dr. Bradley proposes to sell drugs, medicines, paints, oils, glass, segars, perfumery, etc., for cash only. D. E. Evans is nicely fitted up in the Stringer building, on the North east corner of the Public Square. A country negro was carried before his Honor, yesterday, for flinging a rock at a cow, and after having a hear ing was discharged. Alt * Owing to some typographical errors in the Mayor’s report, published last week, we re-produce that document, with necessary corrections. Married, by Rev. J. T. Rogers, Dec, 7th, at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Robert C. Green to Miss Mary Hanes—both of Hall County. Our city, during_tbo fore part of the week, has been honored by the pres ence of several dignified legislators.— They were on their way to the Capitol Married, at the residence of Berian Buffington, on the Ist inst., by T. N Buffington, Esq., Mr. Moses Brian and Miss Nancy E. Buffington—all of Hall 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. Ualne**nie Oltegr. 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. M. G.

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.

New York. 1877. r T , HK different editions of The Scn during 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 price of the dally Sun wU be 55 eenU a month or $6 50 a year, post paid, or with the Sunday’ edition $7,70 a year. The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $!,, 20 a year, post paid. The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 36 broad oolunms, will be furnished during 1377 at LUs rate of 81 a year, post paid. The benefit of this largo reduction from the previous rate for the Weekly eau be enjoyed by individual subscribers without the necessi ty of making up clubs. At tha same time, ii any of our friends choose to aid in extending our circulation, we shall be grateful to them, and every suoh person who seud.s ns ten or more subscribers irom one place will t> enti> fled to oue copy of the paper for himself with out charge. At one dollar ft year, postage paid, the expenses of ]>aper and printing are barely repaid; and, considering the sire of the sheet aud the quality of its contents, we are confident the people will consider The Weakly Sun the cheapest newspaper published In the world, and we trust also one of the very Last.

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.
