PUBLISHER’S CARDS.
A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY.
Two First-class Papers for s4—The In
dex and Baptist and the Gainesville
Engle at Low Club Hates.
The Index and Baptist, Atlanta, Georgia, is
of tho old established and able papers of
the Baptist denomination. It has not a supe
rior, if an equal, in the essential features of
appropriateness of size,excellence of make-up,
and the ability and acceptability of its edito
rial management. Tho publishers make an
important announcement in another column,
and propose to send the Index to January,
1879, for $2.60. They can only afford to do
this by a large increase of their subscription
list. As the organ of the Baptist denomina
tion, it should be the pride of Baptists every
where to give the ludex united,active support,
and we will be pardoned for saying we trust
every Baptist reader of the Eaglb will extend
the fullest encouragement to the Index. To
aid this, we will send tho Index to January 1,
1879, and the Eaglb one year, for $4, posi.
tively in advance.
Please subscribe at onee.

To the Voters of Hall County.
Having been announced as a candidate to
represent you in the next General Assembly
of the State, I deem it proper to give some of
the reasons which induced me to consent to
the use of my name in that connection.
It is well known to many of my friends that
since the war I have uniformly refused to be
coms a candidate for, or to accept any official
position, for the reason that my business re
quired my undivided personal attention,
believing, as I did, that I could be of more
service to the people of my county and sec
tion in my calling as a journalist, than I could
be in any other capacity.
Soon after it became known that an eleotion
would be held this fall for members of the
General Assembly, I had numerous solicita
tions to become a candidate. As the time for
the election approached, these solicitations
became so numerous, so pressing, and were
from such sources that I did not feel at liber
ty longer to withhold my consent.
In taking this step I have no wish or pur
pose to precipitate political antagonisms
among friends, or to separate myself from
any of my fellow-citizens with whom I have
been for so many years so intimately and so
pleasantly associated, socially and politically.
I value my friendships above all political
honors, and shall do nothing to sunder them.
I have no promises to make further than to
say that should this action be ratified by a
majority of the voters at the polls, I shall
bring to the discharge of the responsible du
ties imposed, an honest purpose to do all that
I can in the way of retrenchment and reform
in the administration of the State government,
and to lighten the burdens of the people.
Having been one of the first in Georgia to
advocate the calling of a constitutional con
vention, to revise the organic law, it is a
source of gratification to me to fully endorse
the new constitution offered to the people for
ratification. The more I study the instru
ment, the more I am convinced of the wisdom
of its provisions and its adaptation to the
times and the wants of the people. But it is
a declaration of fundamental principles only,
and it will lequire legislative enactments to
give vitality aud efficiency to many of its wise
provisions. Some of these (notably the
clause upon the subject of railroads and cor
porations) will open up anew field for legis
lative enactment. To properly adjust the laws
to all the provisions of the new constitution,
so as to make a harmonious whole, will de
mand all the wisdom, prudence and fore
thought that can be brought to the task. If
this shall be well aud wisely done, a great
stride will be taken toward placing Georgia
in the van and making her indeed and in
troth the Empire State of the South.
Thanking the many partial friends who
have so persistently urged my candidacy, I
am, very respectfully, Your fellow-citizen,
J. E. REDWINE.
Speaking in Jackson and Banks.
Hon. A. D. Candler will address the people
of Jefferson on Saturday, the 24th, and Ho
mer Monday next, the 26th. Col J. B. Estes,
we understand, will speak on the capital
question, on the occasions above mentioned.
The Meeting.
The college meeting at the court house on
Tuesday evening was not largely attended—a
fact that argues neglect of, or indifference to a
very important question, by our citizens. The
election takes place to-morrow, aud it would
seem that a proposition to aid in the building
of a great school by a city anbscription of
$25,000 vronld awaken sufficient interest to
bring all the people together for the purpose
of considering the matter; but such was not
the oase, aud the meeting was adjourned till
this evening without action.
Once more we say to our citizens, this is an
important matter, and should be attended to.
Let every man attend the meeting to night—
the whole subject will be explained and dis
cussed. Come one ! come all ! and let us talk
over the matter, and see what is best to be
done in the premises.
Clocks.
I have this day opened a handsome lot cf
ladies’ cloaks, which I will sell very low. 1
will have them this week only. Ladies, come
aud see them. C. W. DuPrb.

A CARD.
i'o the Voters ol' the 32d Senatorial Dis
trict of Georgia.
Cleveland, White Cos., Ga., Oct. 31, 1877.
We, John Hockenhull, of Dawson county,
and M. G. Boyd, of White county, hereby
agree that public meetings be called in the
several counties composing the 32d Senatorial
district, by the chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee of each county, on or
before the 10th day of November next, to se
lect five delegates from each county, to meet
at Dahlonega on the 14th day of November
next, to judge and decide which of said coun
ties is entitled to Senator for the ensuing term
of Senator of said 32d Senatorial district.
M. G. Boyd,
John Hockenhull.
Attest, W. B. Bell.
The above is a copy of a contract mado be
tween Maj. Hockenhull and myself, the orig
inal of which is now in my possession. The
contract was made a t the suggestion of the
friends of Maj. Hockenhull, and when it was
made the distinct understanding, expressed
by us both in so many words, was that said
contract was to affect no person but the par
ties to it. That is, if the people of White
county did not sanction the course I had ta
ken, then in that event I was no longer a can
didate; and in the event Dawson did not sus
tain Maj. Hockenhull in his contract, then he
was no longer a candidate.
This contract was made and this under
standing was expressed by both parties to it
in the presence of Rev. W. B. Bell, W. J.
Payne, and Dr. M. H. Van Dike, who will
snstaiu me in what I say. Now Maj. Hocken-
Hnll says that he made no contract with me
that two counties should hold the convention.
If that is true, he made his contract for no
purpose in the world but to attempt to lead
me into some sort of political trap; for when
he found that White aud Lumpkin would
unite, he then undertook to repudiate the
convention.
So far as the attacks made upon me and the
good citizens of Latnpkin, who held th(ir
meeting in obedience to the call of the chair
man of the Democratic Executive Committee,
by the editor of the Mountain Signal is con
cerned, I have only this to say: False as those
attacks are, I shall enter into no sort of con
troversy with the chagrined editor of the Sig
nal, but hope that he has ink, paper and type
enough to relieve his surcharged mind of its
malicious speen. Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
M. G. Boyd.
The Baptist Convention’s Acceptance of
Gainesville’s Proposition.
On page 19 of the Minutes of the Baptist
Convention, we find the following :
“On motion ef brother C. D. Campbell, the
following resolutions were passed :
“Resolved , That we receive under our con
trol the institution of learning for girls, which
the city authorities of Gainesville, and the
citizens thereof and vicinity, propose to build,
and which they have so generously tend red
this body, through their Mayor, Hon. D. G.
Candler, and the pastor of the Baptist church,
Rev. W. C. Wilkes.
“Rosolved, That in accepting this preposi
tion from Gainesville, we do not disparage the
claims of any similar institution which may
now be iu existence or may hereafter be es
tablished,
“Resolved, That the Executive Committee
of this Convention be requested and instruct
ed to proceed by contract with the proper au
thorities of this city to carry out auy or all'of
the above resolutions.”
Iu accordance with these resolutions the
Executive Committee of the Convention sub
sequently assembled, and, construing the ac
tion of the Convention as an acceptance ot
ihe city’s proposition, proceeded to organize
*he movement, and actually put its agents in
the field to raise funds to meet the Conven
tion’s obligation.
The proceedings of the Executive Commit
tee were placed in our possession by Dr.
Wilkes for publication, but are unavoidably
crowded out. They will be read at the meet
ing to-night.
Science has accomplished no more wonder
ful or gratifying result than the perfecting of
an antidote to the chilling signs of approach
ing age, something to obliterate the tell-tale
tracks of time, and preserve the natural
adornments of youth to ripe old age, Hall s
Hair Renewer does all this, and its praise re
sounds in cottage and palace. The dwellers
among the snows ot Norway and the peasants
of Bunny Frauce und Spain, find U 36 for if,
and find means to get it, and it does not dis
appoint them. The whitening locks again
resume their youthful color, the thin, dry,
and faded hair becomes bright and glossy.
The whole appearance is changed as if by
magic, and the man or woman, who, before
was called aged, now appears as one in the
prime of life. Such wondrous changes can
not pass unnoticed, and they have produced
the unprecedented demand that now exists
for the first and only article ever compound
ed that can produce them in a pleasing and
satisfactory manner.—New Era, Woodstock

Harmony Grove.
Col. Candler shook hands with about (i hun
dred of the sovreigns at Harmony Grove, on
Saturday last, and received the gratifying as
surance that they and ail their neighbors had
made up their minds to vote for him for the
State Senate. Many came and went during
the day, and late in the afternoon he address
ed those who remained—not that it was nec
essary, for all were for him, but to fulfill his
promise, and to refute the lying charges be
ing circulated by certain common slanderers
and malignant defamers. Every man present,
save one, was a Candler man, and that one
was not a citizen of Jackson, and therefore
the speech was brief, poiuted and satisfactory.
He adverted to a puerile charge that he at.
tempted to divide Jackson county, while in
the Legislature, and clearly demonstrated the
fallaciousness and meanness of the accusa
tion. He stated the facts and was vindicated.
We met quite a number of gentlemen from
different portions of Jackson and Banks, and
their concurrent opiuion, expressed with em
phasis, wa3 that Candler would carry both
counties by very large majorities—Banks al
most unanimouslv, and Jackson by several
bundled. There is but little work in either
county for him to do, but his friends wish to
■see him, and he is among them this week. He
consented to speak at Jefferson to-morrow,
and as his opponents are thicker in that
neighborhood thau any where else, it is quite
probable he will have occasion to say more
and put it on a little thicker than he did at
Harmonv Grove.
THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
We saw four or live Milledgeville men, aud
they asserted that many of their neighbors
would vote that way. Information from other
sources led us to apprehend a much larger
vote in Jackson for Milledgeville than we had
supposed. The people on the eastern border
of the county have been deluded with the idea
that tha location of the capital at Milledge
ville will necessitate the building of a railroad
from Eatonton to Athens, and that the State,
or some insane capitalists, will build it. This
and similar foolish arguments are being in
dustriously used by unscrupulous individuals,
and in the absence of truthful refutation, are
misleading many good citizens.
HAEMONY GBOVE
is quite a thriving little village, and is doing
a lively business in several branches of indus
try. It contains eight stores, two turnituie
manufactories, one harness factory, one boot
and shoe shop, one lager beer saloon, one
carriage factory, two blacksmith shops, two
cotton gins, one grist mill, one saw mill, two
churches—Baptist and Methodist—and one
flourishing Academy, and all seemed to be
doing a prosperous business. Fourteen hun
dred bales of cotton had been received and
sold there, and shipped via Athens—the cheap
route.
THE NORTHEASTERN ROAD.
We traveled with Col. Edwards, the cour
teous and efficient superintendent, from Lula
to Harmony Grove, and were pleased to learn
that the receipts of the road for several months
past, have been satisfactory—exceeding the
expenditures, and encouraging the company
to keep the road and rolling stock in first-class
condition, and to ruu two passenger trains
daily each way, to connect with all the trains
on the Air-Lino.
The company has strong hopes that Gov.
Colquitt will very soon sign their bonds, and
relieve it of its embarrassment. We hope so,
too, and have reason to believe that he will.

One Cent a Day.
Economy is the order of the hour, and
every expenditure, however small, is expect
ed to give a return iu full value. Every fam
ily requires one good, reliable family news
paper, If such an article can be procured
for less than one cent for each working day
in the year, we are not aware of it, A Family
Newspaper should contain a carefully-pre
pared summary of all the news of ths day,
both Religious and Secular; and if arranged
so that the two departments may be separat
ed and read by two individuals at the same
time so much the better. The Family
Newspaper should have attractive reading
and information for the various members of
a household. Some portion of the paper
should be devoted, every week, to religious
and moral improvement, to current secular
news, to agriculture, commerce, markets, fi
nance, to general literature &a.,with a special
department for the young. Above all, the
Family Newspaper should be perfecty pure,
and tree from any contaminating influences
in its reading matter or in its advertise
ments. Too much attention cannot be paid
to this feature, when the press is flooding
the country with so much that is vile and
pernicious, To crown all, the Family News
paper should, be untrammelled by any affilia
tion with sect or party, and should be free to
give all the good news from and about all
the world. If such a Family Newspaper can
be had for one cerd a day it should be
taken by evety family in the laud.
Such a Family Newspaper, in every respect,
we find in the New York Observer, now
commeuceiDg its fitty-sixth volume. Pro
gressive comprehensive, sound reliable, pure,
it is just what is needed in your household.
