The Valentine Masquerade last night was a
grand success- at least that is the telephonic
message from the future. Our boys are rat

message.
Ben Davis is doing good work along the
Air Line for the Atlanta Daily Tribune. We
heartily recommend him and the paper—
both deserve success, and if merit be of any
vale they will achieve it.
We are glad to learn that the new school
house at Harmony Grove Church is about
completed. Miss Lizzie Itichards, au accom
plished and successful teacher, of this city,
will have charge of the school.
Two weeks ago, in Tiger district, Rabun
county, a young man named McLean, killed

parties were under the influence of whisky.
Those desiring to learu the French language
have an excellent opportunity ot doing so un
der instructions from Mrs. George Smith, who
has the department of French iu the Gaines

and she speaks it as fluently as English. Her

Hon. George D. ltice, Judge of the Superi
or Court of this Circuit, paid ns a pleasant
visit on Friday last. He had just returned
from Oconee Court, which is the first on the
list in the Spring riding. We were pleased to
find Ilia honor iu excellent health and fine

Wo have received several inquiries from
other States, during the past week, relative to
locations iu this section for stock-raising.
Those having good stock farms for sale would
<1 well to advertise them; or, if they are not
v ling to incur that expense, send us descrip
tions and prices <>f such places, so that we’
tile them away, and refer to them when
i information is wanted. This last will
not cost anything.
It is not our custom to call attention to ad
vertisements of patent medicines, but if we
know the medicines to bo beneficial, wc have
no objection to saying so. The Globe Flow

Redwiue had “resumed the proprietorship
and editorial management of the Eagle, ’
“yesterday morning,’’ the Ath, was not true.
Tho falsehood was iu print before our letter to
Mayor llradley was written, and the negotia

ourself were not consummated or contem
plated at the time of writing—a little before
dark of that day. We do. m this much neces

“All liars shall have their | art in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone, which
is the second death.” Rev. xxi: 8. So then
there is a material hell, aud it seems that the
brimstone is a special provision tor the liar.
This reconciles us to the belief that Beecher
made a mistake. If the liar be not sufficiently
punished here, he is sure to catch it hereaf

Deputy Marshal Gaston is waking up the
illicit distillers of the mountains, in a lively
way. Last week he arrested seven in the
Gaddistowu District of Union county, and
brought them down, together with an un
nown number of witnesses. The prisoners
had a hearing before Commissioner Dunlap
Friday and Saturday aud six of them were
committed. Two of them are under suspend
ed seutencc, or a plea of guilty.
Mr. Smith, of tho house of Smith A Jen
kins, took his departure, a few days ago, for
the Northern markets, to purchase a spring
stock. As these gentlemen purchase in the
cheapest markets in tho world, pay cash for
their goods, aud keep their business before
the people by liberal advertising, aud give
their customers the advantage of their bar
gains, it is no wonder that they are constantly
increasing their already large business. We
did not intend to tell the secret of their sue
cess, but as it is out, let it go. The readers
of the Eagle will be duly advised of the arri
val of their spring stock.
Dr. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture,
has issued a circular encouraging the forma
tion of neighborhood agricultural clubs, in
which there is an excellent form for the con
stitution and by-laws of such. Application to
the Commissioner of Agriculture, Atlanta,
will secure one or more of these circulars.
Another circular (No. 50) from the same
source, gives the results of soil tests of fertili
zers in various parts of the State, and in a va
riety of soils. Such tests are more satisfacto
ry to farmers thau chemical auaUses. Those
who contemplate the use of fertilizers (and
what farmer does not?) will hud this circular
both interesting and profitable.
White Sulphur Springs.
The improvements at these springs, uuder
the superintendence of Ur. J. M. Holmes,
are progressing satisfactorily, and arc expect
ed to be completed by the first of June. The
main building is fifty-five by seventy-five feet,
two stories and a basement. Besides this,
ten four-room cottages are in- progress, and
the timbers for a church is being gotten. The
old buildings containing twelve rooms, will
be moved to the road and rebuilt. The grounds

I am Dreaming the Olden Dream Again.
By Barbara A. Harper.
1 am dreaming the olden dream agaiu,
When all was quiet within;
I am dreaming he holds my hand iu his,
As he did in the years grown dim.
I am dreaming of the love-lit glance of yore,
As it was in the olden days;
And the song of the waves in the love-rushing
tide,
Briugs back the warm heart’s silent lays,
Of the long, long ago, in the bright-lived
past,
When the whispeis of love wtre borne
On tbe mdloaii g breizs of the olden time,
Ere my days of brightness were shorn.
Ini dreamiug we stand ’neath the star-rjbed
sky,
Where the wind's gentle whisperings played
O t-r the timid brows of tbe fragile blooms,
That smiled in the slumbering woods’ shade.
No sweeter fragrance it bears from them now
Than the tones that fall on my ears.
Iu th stilluess o' night—'tis the long, long
ago,
That comes o’er my dreary years.
I dream 'tis a dream all these sad years be
tween,
And my eyes grow dim with the light
Of the mystic past, as it sweeps along,
With these visions so real and bright;
Of tones and glances long silenced ami lost
In the buried days of the past.
I turn me again to the music of years—
Too charming, too joyous, to last.
* I wake with a start to my old life again,
And I sigh when I think, for me
The coming years have the burden and pain,
They’ve had siuce I parted from thee.
Atlanta, Oa. , Dec. 15, 1876.

A Valentine.
Pour V Idole demon Cceur.
Awake, uiy muse, and sing a song
To her I love sincerely;
Tell her how earnest and how long
I’ve loved her, and how dearly.
Tell her of the picture sweet,
Made by the artist, Hope,
Of our future—so replete
Witb joy that naught csn cope.
Sing to her of that roseate morn
Where love shall ever shine—
And when no heart shall sigh or mourn,
That they’ve no Valentine.
Then ask her to come live with me,
AuJ I’ll her heart confine
By strongest bonds of love, and be
Her faithful Valentine.

How to Kill a Town.
If a stranger comes to town, and is looking
about for a home and a business location,
sneer at the idea af his locating here. Tell
him our business is all overdone; our schools
are a failure; our churches don’t amount to
anythiug; there is no society; taxes are enor
mous; real estate is going down; and, in fact,
the place is a dead failure. Thus you prevent
a man comiag in to help make business, to
help pay taxes and support local institutions.

Admitted to Practice.
Last week Mr. James O. Wynn made appli
cation to the court then holding at Athens,
for license to practice law. He was subjected
to a searching examination by that venerable
jurist, Wm. L. Mitchell, L.L.D., of the Uni
versity Law School. His proficiency, as
fully demonstrated by his answers, was a grat
ifying surprise to those present, and especially
so, as he had been studying law but a com
paratively short period. Mr. Wynn has been
prosecuting his studies under the direction of
Mess. Marler A Perry, of this city. His tal
ents, energy aud affability give promise of a
brilliant future.

Tlie City Printing'.
Inasmuch as certain busybodics have been
nozing into my affairs, and may possibly mis
lead some good,citizen as to my motives and
action in reference to the. city printing, it may
not be improper o publish my letter to the
Council.
Office Gainesville Eagle,
Gainesville, Ga., January 21, 1878.
To the Honorable the Mayor and Council of the
City of Gainesville:
Gentlemen —Having been invited by your
committee to put in a bid for your city print
ing, I beg leave to hand you the following.
I propose to print your proceedings and
such ordinances as you may pass during the
year, for the sum of Fifty Dollars.
The average amount of printing done by the
Eaole, last year, for the city, at rates paid by
its mercantile customers, was nearly seven
dollars per week. This offer is, therefore,
about one-seventh of the rates paid by the
merchant customer, and is as low as this or
any other office ought to be required to do
the work, if compensation be the object of the
Council in soliciting bids.
Should your honorable body come to the
conclusion tbit the city’s financial condition,
and the rules of economy wisely adopted by
your body, demand any closer or more rigid
cutt ng down than the figure I have named,
it will be my pleasure to meet your views oa
the dead level, and, excluding the idea of
compensation altogether, publish your pro
ceedings as news matter, without pay.
I make this proposition iu perfect good
faith, and with high consideration for the
views of the Council on the question of econ
omy and retrenchment. The sweeping re
duction of all salaries met my hearty approv
al, and this propsition is intended to harmon
ize with that action.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen, very re
spectfully,
Your ob’t s’v’t,
Carey W. Styles.
Note.— Council met weekly last year, and
paid SIOO for its printing. The present
Council meets bi-weekly only.
Leiter From Morgan County.
Editor Gainesville Eagle:
After I left Rutledge I spent a week at
Fuirplay in the upper corner of Morgan coun
ty near the Walton line. This is a little cross
roads place—two stores, etc. Mr. George F.
Ponder, one of the wealthiest men of tho
county, lives here in a splendid residence
with beautiful surroundings, but has uo heir,
having lost all his children, fourteen in num
ber. Mr. David Williams has fine property
and is doing a fine trade. Thousands of liq
uor is drank throughout this part of the coun
try, almost every store having a bar attached-
I saw lots of stout-looking young men fre
quenting these sinks of ruin, with not money
enough to buy a pair of brogan shoes and no
credit. The reason is patent. After leaving
Fairplay I spent a day or two with James E.
Hardeman, on Sandy Creek. He is one of
the cleverest, noble-hearted gentlemen I ever
met. He has a fine residence, good mills,
gin, farm and orchard. In his orchard is per
haps the largest apde tree in the Southern
States; it is about nine feetjin circumference
and has borne one hundred and fifty bushels
of apples a year. ' Some of the large limbs are
now broken off, but when they were intact
the top was sixty feet across. It is tho master
apple tree, certain. Mr. Hardeman has an
on’y child, a sou, John D., who is a temper
ate, steady, hard working young gentleman,
deservedly very popular in the country. Mrs.
H. is princely ~in hospitality, and has the hap
py faculty of making everybody feel at home
in her house.
Taking leave of ibis splendid family, I visit
ed High Shoals, calling by to see Dr. Walker,
who is teaching a fine school at Rehobathville.
The Doctor is not only a good teacher but a
fine talker and makes one wish he could stay
louger with him. I had the pleasure of speud
jng the night at the Shoals with Dr. Roberts
who is the live physiciau of that .country. I
attended the meeting of the Odd Fellows
lodge, and found the lodge in good condition
and doing well.
I notice a good deal of farm work being
done through the country; fixing up fences,
turning lands, etc. This is a good portion of
Georgia, and farmers who work generally
succeed well. Ileiveforttn “Qiseu Citv.
M. P. C.
Those who did not attend tho Library
meeting last Saturday night, missed a treat.
All the readings were well chosen and effect
ively executed; but there was one deserving
special notice. It was the reading of an edi
tor’s trials (we do not recollect the heading of
the piece) by Miss W. B. The youthfulness
and modest diffidence of the reader, the
truthfulness of tho-description, aud the ad
mirable manner in which it was given, riveted
the attention of the audience, especially that
of five of the press-gaug, whose sympathy
and appreciation were exhibited by five sets
of gaping ivory and five pairs of sparkling
eyes. All joined in deserved and hearly ap
plause at the close of the reading.
It would be well for the community if in
creased interest were manifested for the suc
cess of the Association. There is plenty of
room on the roll for more members-
A Nugget.
A few days ago Mr. James Merck, Sr., while
seaching for gold iu his mine, a mile and a
half east of this city, found a nugget weighing
twenty-three pennyweights. It was not pare
gold, but, on being smelted, turned out
eighteen pennyweights of solid gold. Mr.
Merck is not working this mine regularly, but
when he wants a little cash, and other sources
fail to respond, he goes to his diggins and
scratches around until he fiuds enough to
supply his immediate wants.
Shakespeare on Hell.
Editor Sun: Your correspondent, A. R. F.,
endeavored to impress the readers of the Sun
with the idt a that the great English drama
tist believed in an eternal hell. He quotes
from, ‘Hamlet,” act iii., scene 2.
But A. R. F. should not have failed to dis
cover the kiud of hell Shakespeare believed in.
The ghost himself must be better authority
on the subject than either the Prince of Den
mark or A. R. F. This ghost was fresh from
from the pit. He says, in answer to the
Prince:
I am thy father’s spirit;
Doomed for a certain term to walk the night;
Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
Are burnt and purged away.
When the ghost’s limited time of absence
had expired, he did not wait for an officer to
take him back to liis prison hospital, but went
of his own accord. He well knew that he had
to stay there until his “foul crimes were burnt
and purged away.” Unit.

On last Saturday night a difficulty occurred
in Cleveland, between Mr. Pilgrim, a young
man of about twenty years of age, sou of Mr.
Wm Pilgrim, and a negro named George
Smith. Pilgrim and the negro were wrest
ling, and a fight was the result, in which Pil
grim was considerably hurt, and the negro
mortally wounded, by having a knife blade
broken off in his temple. The negro died
Sunday night. Several negroes were present,
and ail were drinking. From what we learn,
it was probably a case of self- defense. A war
rant was issued for Pilgrim, but be had es-

iu addition to the usual astronomical notes,

The Parent of Insomnia.
The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is
in nine cases out often dyspeptic stomach.
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion
interferes with it. The brain and stomach
sympathize. One of the prominent symp
toms of a weak state of the gastric organs is a
disturbance of the great nerve entrepot, the
brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you re
store equilibrium to the great center. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostet
ters Stomach Bitteis, which is far preferable
to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics
which, though they may for a time exert a
soporific influence upou the brain, soon cease
to act, aud invariably injure the tone of the
stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, re
store activity to the operations of that all
important organ, and their beneficent influ
ence is reflected iu sound sleep and a tran
quil state of the nervous system. A whole
some impetus is likewise gmn to the action
of the liver and bowels by its use.
