“Closer-to-iiiy-Bosom-Come.”
As has been stated in these columns that Mr.
Smith Clayton, anew traveler in the lecture
field appears at the College Chapel to night.
Mr. Clayton is a young man with a finished
education and startling, original ideas who
in a short time has become a celebrity. His
lecture, which is an atack on round dancing
shouid be heard by all, even those opposed t°
it because of their inability to skip around
on tbe “light fantastic.” The following is
copied from the Constitution and LaGrange
Importer, two papers that dont puff indis
criminately.
Last night Mr. Smith Clayton delivered
his lecture on tho “Closer-to-my-bosom
come Club,” in which he treats the waltz in
an orignal and striking way. The lecture
was delivered last night to a vary elegant
audience ,for the benefit of the Ladies Be*
nevolent home. Since Mr. Clayton first
propounded this unique theme from the local
stage, he has made great improvements in his
style of beating it. He has elaborated his
views and widened the scope of his observa
tion until he now gives a production o
rare wit and varied attractions wrought both
by natural brilliancy and careful study. In
ibis time, when the waltz is the subject of so
much discussion, the lecture comes in with
pecular fitness and strikes a popular view
°f it too; at least, the popular view in our
city and his thrusts, though they appear
evil' l andliarsh at times, are all so finely put
Miat we admit they find the weak points in
the. victimized waltz.
Much of the wit in the lecture is peculiarly
hrillaut and telling. The humorous descrip
tions and word pictures of modern society
a io drawn wifi;.
There is atact in the management of the
subject which present its salient points ad
mirably and puts thorn most prominently
forward.
For one hour the speaker had his audi
ence in perfect attention and enjoyment of
bis effort. We have seldom seen a lectur e
t ike so well. Mr. Clayton speaks in an
easy, natural manner; with perfect enuncia
tion and impressive manner. In this lecture
of his he has some rare thoughts, some de
cidedly rich expressions, some remarkably
original idioms, all condensed into a satir e
which is well worth the hearing of any audi
ence, and when hoard will be enjoyed.—
Atlanta Constitution.
Monday night, according to appointment
Mr. A. H. Clayton delivered his lecture on
“Closer-to-my-bosom-come,” in the La-
Grange Female College. The subject is
unique, but not more so than the treatment
of it. The lecture is a humorous satire, and
the author has certainly struck out on an
entirely original line. We doubt if there is
anything like it in the United States. It is
not only original, but it is good. There are
puns in it that would do credit to Tom
Hood. The satire in it is as keen and glit
tering as a Damascus blade. Its burlesque
is not of the broad kind that is most likely
to please the masses; but is of that delicate
character which delights the lover of genu
ine, wit. The mishaps of the “Oloser-to-my
bofiom-come Club,” and its members; the
exploits of Mr. Squeezemhard, Mr. Swinge
maround, Mr. George Golightly and the Fat
Girl, are all detailed at length. Those who
heard it were delighted; those who did not
hear it missed a rare treat, as we told them
they would.— LaGrange Reporter.

Removal
11. Palmour fc Cos. have removed their
stock of goods into their new brick build
ing on Washington street, preparatory to
amoving the wooden house and the erection
of a two story brick building in its place.
The now house will cover all the ground
from the corner to Dr. Longs Drugstore and
back to the brick building into which they
have moved on Washington street. The
new building will have two fronts on the
public square, will be two stories high with
granite door and window sills and when fin
ished will be the fiuest and most conmodi
ous business house in the city. The mate
rial is now being delivered and work
will commence in a few days. This is a step
in the right direction and now that the ice
is broken we hope to see the valuable
ground on the burnt district utilized at an
early day so that the present demand for
business houses may be supplied.
Deal It of Miss Helen R, Rice.
On Sunday morning last, the Angel of
Death, who had for some time been hover
ing over the household of Judge George D.
Rice, entered aud bore aloft from the midst
of a sorrowful family to the Realms of Eter
nal Light the soul of Miss Helen IL Rice,
the Judge’s youngest daughter. This lady
had been an invalid for many years, during
which time she evinced a decided taste for
literary pursuits, and by her resignation aud
sweetness of disposition, combined with
humble piety, commanded the love and es
teem of the whole community.
When the sad news of the death of this
truly estimable lady reached the bereaved
father he was on his way to Walton court.
He returned in time to attend the funeral,
which took place from his residence on
Monday afternoon.

opportunity of enjoyment and no doubt
Gainesville will be well represented.

Abandoned At Sea.
At all times ships of kind one or another are

Some are dismantled und are mero hulk , ue

logged. but being laden with timber will

consumption, are abandoned by physician 1
and friends as incurable, yet thousands of
such are annually restored to purfect health
by the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy
and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
The Catarrh Remedy is unequaled as a
soothing and healing local application, while
the Discovery purifies aud enriches the
blood and imparts tone aud vigor to the
whole system.
Vidola, La., April 17th, 1877.
Dr. Pierce;
Dear .sir —l suffered for twelve years with
that most offensive and loathsome of all dis

permanent cure was speedily effected. I
take pleasure in recommending them to alt
afflicted.
Ever thankfully, yours,

of appetite, sleep and strength, and a sensa
tion of unnatural languor,.. All these may be
regarded as auiongthaindieation of.aßlVSftSb-.

The Buckeye.
It is a well-established fact, that Tablet’s
Buckeye Pile Ointment will cure, if used
according to directions. The Eseulus Hip
poikistmum, or Horse Chestnut, commonly
known as the Buckeye, has been highly es
teemed for many years, owing to the fact
that it possesses virtues, lying iu the bitter
principle called Esculiu, which can be util
ised for the cure of Piles. If afflicted with
J.tVat Ufrible disease, use Tablet's Buckeye

A throng of sufferers with coughs and
colds annually go South to enjoy the ethe

them we would say the necessity of that ex
pensive trip is obviated by Coussens’ Com

quishes the coughs and colds incident to
this rigorous clime. For public speakers it
surpasses the Demostheric regimen of “peb
