Editor Gainesville Eagle : As the time is not far distant when the vo ters of Gainesville will be called upon to elect a Mayor and *ix Aldermen for the ensuing year, and the inquiry having been frequently made whether or not I will be a candidate for Mayor, I beg leave to answer through your columns that I will not. With the most pro found gratitude to the good people of Gaines ville for their liberal confidence ?and support during the three years that I have had the honor to serve them to the best ot my ability, duty to myself and my private interests, as well as to my fiiends, many of whom are equally, if not better, qualified to fill the po sition of Mayor than myself, and many of whom, perhaps, would consent to fill the po sition, admonishes me to retire. In doing so, I beg leave to assure the citizens of Gaines ville that my zeal for the welfare and prosper ity of our beautifnl little city and its people, is in nowise diminished; and what little in fluence I may possess will at all times be ex erted to promote the interest and prosperity of Gainesville.

Dorsey has got a sea fowl. We are having a well-sustained spell of bad weather. The candidate orop in this connty seems to be short. Give ns a live, big-ideaed, progressive man for Mayor. Palmour’s new brick ’store is about com pleted. A large conconrse of people in town last Tuesday. We note several wagon loads of fodder on the streets. Our merchants were too busy to go to din ner Tuesday. Go to Bradley’s, buy something of him, and get a Greer's almanac for 1878. Property sold well on Tuesday—lands went off at four to ten dollars per acre. Call on Mrs. Ware, at her new quarters. Sbe has a fine stock of milhoery goods. Discard prejudices, and consider the Bap tist Seminary question as a city enterprise. Several communications rejected this week, for their lack of interest to the general reader. Nothing is pleasanter than a sweet perfume, and no perfume is swoeter than Bradley's bouquet. Sol Smith Russell's musical stars will charm the audience, at Candler Hall, this (Thursday) evening. Sol Smith Russell will cure dyspepsia and all cases of the blues, at Candler Hall, to night. John W. Hudson, our agent, has sold his store building, east side of the public square, to Mr. Champion. Col. Candler made a rousing good speech, to a rousing good crowd, with a rousing good effect, last Tuesday. Go to Candler Hall this (Thursday) even ing, and see the improvement made by the Library Association. Candler Hall will be brilliantly lighted and comfortably warmed for Sol Smith Russell's audience this (Thursday) evening. The State Baptist Female Seminary ques tion will be submitted to the voters of Gaines ville. See notice of Mayor Candler. Lonnie Finger is one of the best plasterers in this or any other city. Faithful, rapid and reliable, he has but few pears in the business. Twenty-nine was the lucky number, and A. H. Woodliff was the lucky man who drew the stove at Smith Sc Jenkins’ last Saturday night. Tom Merck and Cicero Chapman beauti fully “skim-coated” 482 yards of surface, in Candler Hall, on Wednesday. This may be regarded a good day’s work. The North Georgia Conference will meet in this city on the 28th inst. Our citizens have made ample arrangements for the comfort and accommodation of the delegates. Mrs. Ware has moved her millinery store to the building occupied by Messrs. Williams & Co.—next door. This removal was made necessary by the sale of the store she occu pied. The establishment of the Baptist State Fe male Seminary iu Gainesville will increase the value of real estate twenty percent., and enhance the trade of tke city to an equal amount. Vote for it. Johu Gaines, our efficient Sheriff, got in all his work on sale-day, and settled with this office on Wednesday. He and his deputy, Duckett, are as sore as sunshine and as prompt as the tax gatherer. Col. Stafford, of the Forest News, partook of “Rich” Johnson’s hospitality, at the John son Hotel, in this city, last week, and puts it down that “if the road to success lies in well cooked dishes and attentive waiters, ‘Rich’ is sure to win." Subscribers to the Eaole who commenced at “club rates,” are reminded that “club rates” mean cash in advance, and that it is un fair to claim the privilege at the end of the year, and grotesque to ask it at the end of a second or third year's default. Special attention is called to the communi cation of Prof. LaHatte, on the subject of a free school. He has raised a question of vital interest to the city, and it must be considered and acted upon. We heartily concur in the Professor’s views, and shall give the project a warm support. The Next Mayoralty. The card of His Honor, D. G. Candler, puts the city on notice to select his successor. Who shall it be? This question should be answer od in the selection of a man of intelligence, enterprise and high character. Gainesville cannot afford to stand still, nor is she willing to be clogged with dead weight She needs and must have a live man at the head of her affairs— one identified with her property, so cial, moral, educational and commercial inter ests, and who has tke conrage and the energy to shoulder responsibility and shove her inter ests on all proper occasions. She is not in a condition to be trifled with on this subject. Her wisest and best men must come to the trout. She mast take no step backward. Public Meeting at Harmony Grove. We are authorized to state that Hon. A. D. Candler, candidate for the State Senate in the 33d District, will address the people of Jack son and Banks, at Harmony Grove, on Satur day, 17th inst. Notice to Teachers. All teachers who have taught public schools under contract with County Board of Educa tion, are required to report to the undersign ed, on or before Nov. 20, 1877, by order of the Board. W. A. Brown, County School Commissioner. BOOTS AND SHOES. We have fitted up in connection with our Dry Goods and Carpet stores, a room of equal size to either, and we have opened one of the Largest Stocks of Gents’, Ladies’, Misses and Chil drens’ Boots, Shoes and Gaiters in the State. None but good Goods are in the stool.. We Warrant every Pair sold, and guarantee prices LOWER THAN ELSEWHERE, as we have no additional expense in adding this department to our business. An examination of the Stock will pay all. White County. Our trip to Clevelend last week was a mos agreeable one. Many of the best citizens of the county were in attendance on the Court, and we had the pleasure of meeting a goodly number of the Eagle's friends face to face. White is a charming little county, and is probably freer from financial embarrassment than any community in the State. Her citi zens are intelligent, industrious and frugal, and their harvests this year have been boun tiful. There is very little litigation in the county, and it is growing smaller each term. An old woman, seventy years of age, was put upon trial for arson, charged with burning Mr. West’s store in Nacoochee Valley, but the State failed to make a case, and she was dis charged. Mining exeitement is on the increase in the upper portic* of the county. It is believed the rich veins that have attracted so much attention in the neighborhood of Dahlonega grow richer as they approach the Chattahoo chee and its tributaries, at and north of Na coochee Valley. From Capt. Jas. H. Nichels we learned the particulars of the sad accident to Maj. Tom Cumming. Maj. C. was on his way to Capt. Nichols’ to complete the purchase of a piece of land and farm in the Valley, with a view to establishing a sheep ranch. When within two or three hundred yards of the Captain's gate, his horse shied at a covered wagon and ran the right wheels of the buggy up a bank, the buggy tilted and Maj. C. was thrown out. His leg caught in the wheel and both bones were broken just above the ankle. He was carried to Capt. Nichols’ home, and received all the attention that kind friends and a skill ful surgeon, Dr. Starr, couid give him. We sincerely hope his recovery may be speedy, and that hs will carry out the object of his visit. Capt. Nichols has a pretty respectable fol lowing for Milledgeville. He and his friends were at Clevelaud, on Tuesday, to support Mr. Furman iu a speech favoring a return to the “balls.” Mr. Furman had but half an hour’s time, but got in the big points of his speech. He was exceedingly courteous, and was listened to with marked respect, but changed no man's opiniou. Our inquiries de veloped the fact that Milledgeville has about seventy-five voters in the county, or 10 per cent of the vote that will probably be cast. Mr. Furman spoke at Blairsvillle and Hi wassee, and, strange to say, neither Col. Well born nor any other friend of Atlanta attempt ed to reply to him. Perhaps they were afraid of weakening their own political prospects. Col. Wellborn is a candidate for the Senate up there, and we were informed that Mr. England, the present Senator, is also a can didate, and that he favors Milledgevillo. It may be that this accounts for Col. W.’s silence. There are two excellent hotels at Cleveland —one kept by W. B. Bell, and the other by his brother-in-law Mr. J. W. McAfee, both clever gentlemen and accommodating hosts. They are on the best of terms, aud their ri valry is of that generous sort that rejoices in each other’s success. White is blessed with efficient and honest county officers. Judge Oakes is one of the best Ordinaries in the State ; and it would be difficult to find a better Clerk than J. P. Os born, or a more sterling Sheriff than T. C. Hamilton. They are prompt in the perform ance of their duties, and prompt in paying their advertising fees. Mr. J. J. Kimsey, a talented young lawyer, partner of Dr. A. F. Underwood, and a Toombs man for the Senate, was the only candidate in the field for the Legislature ; but other names were spoken of, among which Judge Reeves and Will L. Logau . were the most prominent. We doubt not one or the other of these popular gentlemen, both of whom are for Gordon against the world, will contest the race with Mr. Kimsey. There was a muddle on the Senatorial ques tion—White and Dawson claiming, by virtue of the rotation system. Mr. Marion G. Boyd, a young man of decided talent, high charac ter and great popularity, was being uncom promisingly demanded by the citizens of White, and Maj. Hockenhull, of Dawson, was being warmly urged by the citizens of that county. Lumpkin was silent. On Wednes day morning an arrangement for a high com mission of five delegates from each county, to decide the squabble, was effected, and the excitement at once subsided. The counties will select their delegates to-morrow, and they will meet at Dahlonega on the 14th. We are inclined to the opinion that the decision will be in White’s favor, and that Marion G. Boyd will be the next Senator from the 32d. He will make a good one. Our collections were not so large as we had a right to expect, but John Hudson was there with the “Eagle on wheels,” and received satisfactory assurances that he can load his wagon every day when be gets among the subscribers. Three of our subscribers informed us that they had been urged, under the seal of secrecy, to stop taking tho Eaole aud subscribe for another Gainesville paper. They were indig nant at the “confidential" proposition, and ex pressed a determination to continue the Eagle as long as it soars. We a'so learned that efforts had been made to change the legal ad vertising of certain counties from the Eagle to the paper referred to. On with yonr little game, gentlemen, the Eagle is on its wing and fears no racket from your covert practioes. To Contractors.— The undersigned will receive proposals for building a Church, five miles from Lawrenceville, Ga., up to the 17th of November next. Full specifications may be seen in Ordinary’s Office, Gainesville, or Herald Office, Lawreiieeville; W. E. Brand, Chm’n B. C., 2t Lawrenceville, Ga. NOTICE. Some unprincipled scamp—or scamps have interfered with our apprentices. This is to notify any one not to meddle with or hire said apprentices. We shall prosecute any one doing so. J. F. LILLY & SON. , nov 2-2 t CANDLER HALL. Sol Smith R' sselPs Musical Stars to Clus ter iu it this—Thursday—Night. The Executive Committee of the Gaines ville Library Association has this week had the walls and ceiling of the ball “skim coated,” and they now look as white as the driven snow, entirely dissipating the darkness that previously required so many lights to render things visible. The hall has also been snpplied with seats, and it is now one of the most commodious and adaptable halls for public amusement in Northeast Georgia. This fixing up has been done at this time especially for Sol Smith Russell’s entertain ment, which takes place this (Thursday) night; and also to carry ont the intention of the Library Association for all such public en tertainments as may be desirable. The Asso ciation has possession of the hall, and is re sponsible for the rent, which it expects to realize by public entertainments. Sol Smith Russell will be the first to occupy the hall un der the auspices of the Association; and we trust that his patronage will be snch as to in duce other respectable troupes to visit us. Apart from the fact that a large attendance at this time will benefit the Libraay Association, none will be disappointed in Mr. Russell’s ex hibition, unless it be that it excels their high est expectation. In this connection we will add that the Committee has also rented the corner room in front of the hall, which will be used as the library, and so fitted up as to be an attractive resort for ladies and gentlemen. TOBACCO. Its Growth in Northeast Georgia. A Factory Needed in Gainesville. This subject has been on oar memoranda a long time, and at last the time has come to write it up. Our recent visits to neighboring counties afforded ample opportunity for gain ing information as to the adaptability of the soil and climate of our Piedmont counties for the production of tobacco, and we open the subject under thji firm conviction that it should be, and will ultimately be the MONEY CHOP of the counties of Dawson, Lumpkin, Haber sham, White, Banks, Jackson and Hall. We mention these couuties particularly, because observation and contact with tobacco growers enable ns to write upon positive and reliable information. We doubt not the counties north of the Blue Ridge are equally adapted to the growth of the weed, and will very soon find it to their interest to engage in its culture on a large scale. Of this Piedmont section we have data quite sufficient to sustain the proposition that no portion of the Old Dominion excels it, either in climate or productiveness. The plant here grows to great perfection, and the flavor is equal to the best raised iu the neighborhood of Danville or Lynchburg. Many of the farmers in the counties mentioned cultivate small patches for home consumption, and the facts are well established that the yield is highly satisfactoryjas to quantity, and invari ably superior as to quality. That it can be made more profitable than the cotton culture, no well informed planter will for a moment question ; but its culture needs a stimulant, and that stimulant is not only feasible, but may itself be made a profitable enterprise. A FACTORY IN GAINESVILLE is what is wanting,—an establishment to man ufacture the raw material, and strong enough to provide for the revenue of 32 cents per pound on chewiDg aud 16 cents on smoking tobacco. If it could be known, within the next sixty days, that such an enterprise would be put in operation in time to manipulate the next crop, thousands of acres would be plant ed, and a vast industry would spring up, as if by magic, spreading wealth and .prosperity throughout the country. Who will leap forward and grasp the golden opportunity ? The man is indeed short-sight ed and contracted iu his views who doubts the success of such an enterprise, or the profit ableness of the investment. The present crop of tobacco accessible to Gainesville would enable a twenty thousand dollar facto ry to declare a good dividend. What say.our men of enterprise aDd means to the project? Free Schools. Since my last article, in which I called the attention of our citizens to the necessity of establishing free schools in our city, I have conversed with many on the subject; and al most every one is ready to forward the move, believing it to be in the right direction. Our thinking people are ready to act in the mat ter—they are alive to the necessity—and I verily believe a brighter day is about to dawn upon Gainesville. A great many who are deeply interested in this matter are anxious to kuow what is pro posed to be done. Hereisthe work: To es tablish at the college building, and under the snperintendency of the college President, who is elected annually by a board of trustees ap pointed by the City Council, a free school; said Bchool to be free, except a small matricu lation fee, through three departments—two grades iu each department. The first department to be a primary school—lst and 2d grades. The second department to be a common school—lst and 2d grades. The third department to be a high school Ist and 2d grades. Thus there will be six grades, the accom plishment of which will put the student in possession of a good common English and mathematical education. The college, with its four departments, is to remain intact, ex cept such a reduction of tuition as the direct ors may deem expedient. This reduction may be between twenty-five and fifty per cent. Free college tuition is not best—it is not practicable if it were. What we now want is a thorough, free school, that will place a prac tical education in the reach of all its students. Our college is a fixture, and is riding triumph antly on to an abundant success; no change is needed as far as it is concerned—good man agement and faithful teaching will, for all the future, keep its departments well filled. There is but one way by which this free school may be accomplished: Let the people resolve to have it, and the work is done. Once established and tried, it would prove such a success that no one would ever desire to abolish it. Fellow-citizens, the time is not far distant when you will be asked to vote upon this mat ter. Don’t go into it blindly. Study our situ ation; weigh both sides of the question; count the cost on both sides; consider the interests of your children, and other people’s children too; and when the time comes, vote deliber ately, just as your best judgment directs. In my next, I expect to suggest ways and means to accomplish the end. C. B. L. City papers please copy. Meteorological Report for the Mouth of October. Gainesville Station.

Editor Gainesville Eagle : The true ad vocate of universal equality, liberality and fraternity should be honored and elevated to position everywhere. Such an advocate is Hon. A. D. Candler, yours and the people’s candidate for State Senator from your District. We end greeting to him and his friends, and in this greeting the honest, thinking massts of ail Georgia join ns. Alien D. Candler is most favorably known throughout Georgia ; and to those who know him best, he is the embodiment of honor, enterprise and public spirit, the oppressor of none, the helper of the needy, and a true friend to the right. You say, “Col. Candler has been foully as persed, infamously traduced and villainously assailed. ” What! By whom ? No, sir. The foul, infamous and villainous scoundrels, who would assail him, can neither asperse or traduce any gentleman. Their slimy slander and belying aspersions oonnot touch his high character nor diminish his useful ness. The citizens of your Queen City and of your Senatorial District know both the libel ing scoundrels and Col. Candler tco well—the former are impotent in an attempt to besmirch him. It*is well known that Allen D. Candler is truly the father of modern Gainesville, as he is of the New Constitution ; that for years he has been one of our wisest and most efficient Legislators ; that he has all the time voted on the side of economy, and against class legisla tion ; that he has comprehended both the im mediate and the remote effects of all legisla tive enactments ; that his career, though he makes no pretensions, shows him to be an advanced scholar, a philosophic legislator, a wise, progressive statesman, the potential friend of the oppressed and needy everywhere. We know Col. Candler well, and we con gratulate the people of your Senatorial Dis trict in the possession of a gentleman so thoroughly calculated to represent them iu the next, and, to the people, the most important General Assembly of the State. We, too, shall feel proud of his election, and rest as sured that in him the honest laboring masses of all Georgia will find an able advocate and friend. By all means send him to the State Senate, and there he will honor his constituents and nobly serve our grand old Commonwealth. Rasp. THE STATE BAPTIST SEMINARY. Meeting of the Advisory Board. At the hour appointed, the Advisory Board for the State Baptist Female Seminary met in the Baptist church, Mayor D. G. Candler, Chairman, in his seat. The Secretary being absent, Rev. D. S. Mc- Curry was requested to act as Secretary pro tern. The General Agent reported that he had visited five counties, attended three Associa tions and two camp-meetings, within one month, at each and all of which he was cheerfully permitted to present the merits of the Seminary; and, in the aggregate, received obligations amounting to $1,406.35, which added to $5,095.00—the sum reported a month ago—makes $6,501.35. He stated that the enterprise was received with favor everewhere he went. He furthermore stated that he had issued 1,000 circulars, which the Board ap proves. The Chairman announced that he had printed 1,000 blank bonds for the uso of the Agent. On motion, it was Resolved, That the General Agent be in structed to press his work forward by all rea sonable efforts, and that he visit other sec tions of the State, in the interest of the Semi nary, as soon as possible. Ordered, That these proceedings, by the kindness of the proprietors, bo published in our city papers. D. S. MoCukry, Sec. pro tern. Gainesville, Ga., Nov. 6, 1877. “Sqeer’s” Suggestion. We would cheerfully accept the suggestion of “Squeers,” whose communication is on the first page of this issue of the Eagle. We think that the highest funotion of a newspa per is to educate the people, not merely by furnishing information of current.events, but by also publishing such articles as will incite interest and thought. With a view to this object, we last summer offered to those licensed to teach by the N. G. Agricultural College the use of our columns for communications on educational subjects, and a copy of the paper free for three months. We now offer a column weekly, for the pub lication of such articles, as tend immediately to promote the cause of education, reserving to ourselves the privilege of judging whether the articles are of that cnaracter, and merit publication. We invite communications. We believe that no one text-book surpasses the newspaper as an educator. The reasons for this belief we propose to give hereafter. Council Proceedings.

Sally Pitchfobd was born April 12, 1811; married to T. W. Jarrard, Esqr., Dec. 19, 1828; died Oct. 25, 1877. She was an acceptable member of the M. E. Church; tented at Mossy Creek camp-ground forty-six times, and was most hospitable to visitors. All her associations were of religious cast. She was raised by Christian parents, and bore her long afflictions as only a Chris tian can. Asa wife, mother and citizen she excelled. The writer hopes that her children and grand-children will follow her example, and meet her in the Land ofj Rest. Religion was her theme, and we know that Heaven is her home. A Friend. White county, Ga., Oct. 29, 1877. The telephone bids fair to supersede the iUegrapk, and dispense with operators, other thau the parties who wish to communicate. And oh ! how sweet it will be for the young ladies to remain at their respective homes and exchange kisses by electricity ! Of course, young men will not take undue advantage of the invention. IMMIGRATION SOUTH. What Commissioner t Janes Knows About it. A few days ago a Constitution re porter talked with Dr. Janes, Commis sioner of Agriculture, and elicited some important facts. “It would astonish you,” said the Commissioner of Agriculture, in his hearty, pleasant way, “to see the num ber of let'ers received by tais depart ment from Northern people who DESIRE TO COME SOUTH and establish themselves and their friends here.” “Do you receive more of such letters now than formerly ?” “A great many more. It really looks as if the eyes of the people of all sections of the country were turned to wards the South. Our incomparable climate, our fine school system, our rich soil, the cheapness of good lands, the hearty welcome extended to stran gers, the low taxes—all these things combined, just now becoming fairly known to the people of the North, are attracting attention to the State of Georgia, and making her more con spicuous than she ever has been be fore.” “Do the letters appear to be from a good class of people ?” “Almost universally so. The writers of most of them are apparently well educated men. Almost without excep tion, they desire to buy land—usually only a few acres. The most of them make especial inquiry about public schools. Many of them write in the interest of several families who desire information.” “What do you do with the letters?” “We answer them promptly, particu larly and fully. We give full and ac curate information upon every point desired. We generally mail some of the publications of this department, treating of the subjects inquired after. For instance, there seems to be a gen eral desire to go into sheep raising. Whenever there is an inquiry upon this point we mail to the inquirer a copy of our ‘Manual of Sheep Hus bandry.’ ” “What is the result of the corres pondence you have been carrying on?” “Why, I should say that it must result in bringing great numbers of people to Georgia. Many of those who wrote us have already come. A great many have continued correspon dence with us, seeking additional in formation. You see that the thing must work slowly. Men who change their homes hurriedly and without careful thought do not, as a class, make good immigrants. They are generally reckless and ne’er-do-well. But I think WE SHALL REAP A RICH HARVEST this winter. We have a great many letters from parties who express a de termination to visit Georgia this win* ter and determine the matter by actual inspection. You see the winter is the leisure time with the Northern farm ers. We may look fora pretty steady stream of prospecting parties for the next six months. That many of those will determine upon locating in Geor gia, I have little doubt. We can very speedily demonstrate to any sensible man that Georgia offers the best in ducements to any man that is honest and willing to work.” “You think, then, that the tide of immigration will set in this winter ?” “1 do. I think we shall see a good many strangers here in the next four months.” Colored Talk. —The Hartwell Sun is responsible for the following: Some colored men were talking poli tics in front of a store the other day, when one said: “Tom, dey say de Publican party am dead an’ gone to de Independents, what sort of politics dey got ?” “Well, dey is same as de hypocrit, dey want the votes of bofe sides, and ’minds me of a nigger what come up from Elbert county, he went to de Babtis’ meetin’ and he big Bap tis’, den, next, he wentffo the Metho dis’ meetin an’ out shout dem all, but he took care to eat hearty wid bofe nominations.” As for my part, I rud der vote for a man what we know is one t’ing or tudder. The grand jury at Columbia, S. C., has found another true bill against John J. Patterson, on a charge of bribery in purchasing his seat in the TJ. S. Senate. Twenty four ex-mem bers of the Legislature allege they were bribed to vote for Pattersen. This is but one of the daily develop ments of carpet-bag infamy, and yet, even in Georgia, the tribe has emissa ries in disguise, seeking crevices in the Democratic party in which to enter and drive their Radical wedges.

OCt26-tf A Very Good Reason. The reason why only one sample bottle of Merrell’s Hepatinjs for the Liver will be gold to the same person, for ten cents, by onr Droggod. H r - H. S. Bradley, is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepatine into this country; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after a'l for a medi ciue that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are en titled to one for ten cts. at J)r. H. S. Bradley’s Drug store. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world. Regular size bottles fifty doses, SI.OO.
