State, and out of a tax amounting to
nearly eighteen thousand dollars, the
State’s part of the insolvent list, inclml.
ing errors of digest, is Sllfi.DO; aud the
county’s part is 520.80. This showing,
we think, places Mr. Clark at the head
of the list, as a close and vigilant collec

properly appreciated by the people of the

Col. W. P. Price, of Dahlonega, has,
during the present week, enlivened our

the North Georgia Agricultural College
as being in a very flourishing condition,
with an increase in tho number of schol
ars from day to day. At present there
are 200 students at the institution, 150
perform military duty under Maj. J.
Gnerrard, a most efficient army officer.
The Professors are an ornament to the
College. The Colonel speaks very fa
vorably of the condition of the Dahloti
lonega mines, and especially of the now
mine recently opened by the Neal Bro
thers, of Philadelphia.
Col. Lowman has returned from
New York, and says he has all his
machinery on the way except such as
could be made in Atlanta, all of which
will be ou the ground in a week or ten
day ~ to open aud work the silver mine
live miles Northeast of this city. The
Colonel is quite sanguine of success, and
bases his confidence on the compai'ative
quality and quantity of ore here and iu
the Comstock lode or vein in Nevada
which is now 2,000 feet deep, and yields
850.000,000 a year. He is well acquaint
ed with the mine, and says this is a rich
er vein than the Comstock lode at the
same depth. This is very encouraging,,
and will open anew industry in Geor
gia, which will be of vast importance
.and give, a fresh impulse to the develop
Jibuti, of our mineral resources.

Dr. H. S. Bradley, assisted by Drs.
Daily, Ham aud Simmons, performed
a very skilfnll and successful opera
tion last Tuesday afternoon, at the
office of Dr. Ham, in the amputating
of the right arm of Mr. Thos. Bales.
Mr. B. had been suffering with a
cancer which for a year past, has not
only rendered his arm entirely use
less but caused unabating, and well
nigh unendurable pain. Tho opera
tion was almost entirely bloodless.
Tho patient experienced not the
slightest pain during tho perform
ance, and at this writing is doing
well.
*Ono of our prominent deciples of Es.
culapius, was seen a few days ago hold
thc plow, and as he followed the furrow
whistling as merrily nsa Shepherds boy.
As soon as the fact became known a
conclave of the M. D's, was held and
his case brought up for consideration,
before his peers.
Some were disposed to read the offen
ding brother out of the profession, for
conduct unbecoming to one of his call
ing. After the question had been fully
debated a lucky thought occurred to one
of the members, which upon being men
tioned, was acted upon at once. That
was, that tho doctor while plowing was
doing more real good for the couutry,
than he had been known to do in any
other way before. This was accepted
as satisfactory, and the offending broth
er was allowed to depart in peace.
One Mure Angel in Heaven.
Our community was saddened by
the news of the death of the sweet
and interesting little daughter of our
neighbors Mr. J. A. and Mrs. Smith,
on Sunday morning last. We are in
formed that death was caused by drink
iug the drugs of a tumbler of potash
which had, incautiously, been left by
a servant iu the childs reach. We
deeply sympathize with the parents
of the dear little girl. The funeral
services were performed by liev. T
I‘. Cleveland at the residence of Mr.
Smith on Sunday afternoon at
three o’clock, and on Monday morn
ing the body was taken to Atlanta
for interment.

Few portions of the habitable

To those who would leave thoir
State, to seek amidst the wilds of
America that rsst, for which they
have sighed, since the ruthless hand
of war desolated our hills aud val
leys and carried destruction to our
pleasant homes and firesides we
would say stay.” Do not consider
the past,” but look to the future, so
full of hope and happiness. See al
ready, what energy and resolve have
accomplished, and what may be ef
fected by a determination to put

to imitate our gallant Colquitt and

deavors to take advantage of the
dayspring which is about to dawn
upon us after the long night of de
spondency and gloom.
To our Northern friends who are
about to visit our section of the
State in search of homes we would
say, come ! you will be cordially re
ceived and entertained, and we
trust the numerous advantages
which our State posssesses will in

Gainesville Library Association.
Editor Gainesville: Eagle:
Everything which tends topromote so
cial intercourse, and develop a taste for
intellectual enjoyment, should he encour
aged by the citizens of Gianesville-
In October last, a few of the most
prominent citizens of our town met to
form an Association for the purpose of
developing the intellectual capabilities of
the community. The Gainesville Library
Association was then organized and the
following officers were appointed, viz.
Col. J. B. Estes, President; Dr. 11. >S.
Bradley, Vice President.: Henry Perry,
Esq, Library Secretary: T. S. Campbell,
Treasurer.
Board of directors: Col Carey W.
Styles, Col. Allen D. Candler. Dr. B. E.
Green, and J. .D Chapman.
At the time of the format ion of the socie
ty, it was well known that there existed
in our midst latent native talent, and that
only an incentive was required to cause
the germ to burst forth, and in time from
the full grown tree, under whose branch
es the lads and lasses might commingle in
delightful intercourse, and the older peo
ple seek repose after the toils of the day.
At first, ere the real object of the asso
ciation was* understood, many obstacles
presented themselves, which marred the
enjoyment of the evenuigs, and induced
the belief, that the jilans of the associa
tion could not he carrried out, and that
the Library Association wop'd soon be
amongst the the things that were.”.. But
gradually, the influence of refined music
and literature became apparent, and after
a period of only three months, the
Gainesville Library Association has be
come one of the most prominent features
of the city.
On the evening of the 2nd i nst, a
Meeting of the Association was hold at
the Library room. The entertainment,
as usual consisted of recitation and Mu
sic. Mrs. G. W. Smith read a piece en
titled, “The Lawyer and the Devil.”
Miss Mattie Langston and Miss Georgia
Brewster, sang a beautiful duet., “In the
Starlight.” Mr. J. 11. Hales recited an
original essay, entitled, “Night brings out
Stars” —Miss Georgia Brewster and Miss
Many Butt sang a charming duet, enti
tled, Moonlight, Music, Love, and Flow
ers. The exercises closed with Music of
Flute with organ accompaniment.
We trust all will unite iu their endeav
ors to sustain an institution so fraught
with interest to our city.
‘ Win. W. H.
I. 0. F. T.
Editor Gainesville Eagle:
I notice in the issue of the Eagle
of February 22, a call from Maj. M.
P. Caldwell to organize a Good
Templars’ Lodge in your city. I
earnestly trust the good people will
respond to the Majors call. The time
has come and now is when we should
unite man to man to repel this
mighty foe—King Alcohol and drive
him from our land. The Northern
or New England States are far in
advance of the South in the cause of
Temperance, and we should be up
and doing. What causes murders ?
Liquor—what causes tho cries of
poor starving children? Whiskey!
what causes so many desolate homes
and broken heurted ? Whiskey—
what is the cause of so many being
in the chain gangs ? Whiskey.—
What is tho cause of so much trou
ble in the country—United States of
ficials arresting men and taking them
from their families and homes ?
Whiskey.
Now the question is what else has
whiskey not done? Yes, it has
made inroads into our churches and
and caused in many instances the
Christian religion to be set at naught.
A majority of our ministers of the
Gospel are- afraid to uphold and
preach Temperance from the sacred
desk for fear of offending someone;
and the Holy Bible speaking in
thundering tones saying that no
drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom
of Heaven. And in the face of all
this the illustrious Gordon voted
against a bill to create a board of
commissioners to investigate and re
port on the crimes caused by Intem
perance. To the citizens of our
country—l say will yon help us—
Say perhaps we go to the bar room
to drink, swear and play cards, now
do you think our mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters would go to
such a place ? You will answer me,
“no indeed.” Well, then, we should
never enter such a place—we should
never go into any place where our
pure and noble Women will ndt go.
Let them be an eiample, brother
man, for lid.
To the whiskey maker and dealer:
my friends, lot me beg yon, for the
sake of suffering humanity, to quit
such occupations—quit taking from
the poor, famishing mother and
children the morsel of bread that th#
fathers’ money would buy. For
God’B sake, don’t let the cries and
lamentations of the suffering moth
ers and blessed little children go up
to Qe&ven against you, for robbing
them of their bread by selling their
husbands and fathers “Bum.” Be
constrained to desist Ladies and
gentlemen of our country,’ let us
rally to the Temperance banner.’’
Our mission is one of love and mer
cy—to lift np fallen man; and ladies
and gentlemen of Gainesville, join
issue with brother Caldwell, and or
ganize a Lodge. Don't exclude any
because of their poverty. If you or
ganize during onr court week. I
shall be among you, and shall be
pleased to give my help iu the noble
work. I also take pleasure iu notify
ing our district deputies for this
district that, the good people of
Clarksville, Ga., desire a good Temp
ars’ Lodge organized up there.—
Brothers D. C. and J. T.
Rogers, deputies, go to their relief,
aud call ou Robt. N. Groves and J.
H. Addison, at Clarksville. God
speed our noble cause.

The State Female Seminary.
To the friends of our Seminary :
It is gratifying to state that a half
dozen or more beautiful sites, will be
offered for the location of the above
Seminary. This is encouraging. It
is an evidence of a proper apprecia
tion of the magnitude and value of
the enterprise. It is attracting the
attention of onr wisest and best men
iu every direction. A letter is just
received from Rev. G. A. Nunnally,
of Rome, Ga., assuring us hi#
hearty sympathy and readiness to
contribute liberally. Another one
from Richmond, Va., representing A-
S. Barnes & Cos., N. Y. publishers, is
encouraging. .He kindly suggests
that, as soon as we commence opera
tions, we open a correspondence with
Dr. Sears, believing we can get an
annual appropriation from the Pea
body fund.
This to inform- our citizens, that
I will cheerfully assist any person or
persons, if desired, to measure, plat
and offer in form, any lot of land inten
ded to be offered to out locating com
mittee. It is hoped moat impor
tant considerations will not hp for
gotten in tendering the several sites
or the Semmiaary, which are:
Ist. From eight to fifteen acres of
land. *
2nd. Unquestionably good titles.
3d. Laud and obligations of great
est value.
4th. Centrality.
sth. Eligibility.
fith Accessibility.
7th. Good water.
It is desirable tG get as near the
center of our city as possible, but
this is not the most important con
sideration. The writer does not know
of a college in Ga., male or female,
which is near the center of the city,
most of them are from £to a whole
mile. The most distant offer for our
Seminary, will probably, not exceed
| of a mile form our court house. —
Surely every friend of education will
acquiesce, in a decision which may
locate the Seminary so nearly with
in the reach ef every family in Gaines
ville. But it will be gratifying, if we
can secure a suitable location within
a quarter of a mile. Let us adopt
the maxim of old Epictetus, “bear
and forbear.”
W. C. Wilkes, Gen. Agt

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For aU the purposes of a Family Physic,
and for curing Costiveness, Jaundioe,
Indigestion, Foul Stomach, Breath,
Headache, Erysipelas, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Bil
iousness, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms,
Neuralgia, as a Dinner Pill,
for Purifying the Blood,
tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayer’s Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a world-wide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed mat obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
