Habersham &('., Gainesville,Ga. 550 acres mineral and agricultural land, two aud a half miles from Flowery Branch, on the Air-Line Railroad, and nine miles from Gainesville, Hall county, Ga. On the premises are to be found 2 gold quartz leads and a good water power. The ag ricultural portion is suitable for raising cot ton, grains aud fruits. This is one of the most desirable tracts of mining property in Georgia. Titles perfect. A farm of 225 acres, embracing 140 acres in timber, beautifully located miles of from Gainesuille on Little River, with all the necessary modern improvements and a fine orchard. Postoffice located on the place, and with church and school privi leges. The land is peculiarly adapted to raising cotton, corn, wheat and grapes. Gold has been discovered on the premises A most valuable place containing 2,101 acres of land, lying in the fork of the Soqnee and Chattahoochee rivers, in Habersham county, within five miles of the Air-Line Railroad. An abundant supply of excellent pine and post-oak timber. It has the finest water powi r in this section, the water front being about three miles ol successive shoals on the two rivers. To manufacturing cap italists it offers extraordinary advantages. It is in the center of the mining belt, and borders the cotton region of Georgia. For the culture of fruits and grapes, it excels. Its altitude is not less than 1,500 feet, and its salubrity unsurpassed. There are seve al small settlements on it, and altogether about 200 acres of cleared land.

Runyon Ac Co"s Celebrated HOG CHOLERA Cure and Preventive. It is known by all that hog cholera has cau-sed more loss among the fanners than any other disease that stock is subject to. Many worthless and irritable remedies are used which have a tendency to inflame aud aggravate instead of healing, and regulating the system of all impurities. In a disease so fatal, it is of great importance that farm ers should have medicine that they could rely upon; therefore, Runyou & Cos. having spent several years ia the study and practice upon this disease iu its several forms, have at last produced a composition which will cure and effectually prevent that disease in every, form, and has gained the confidence of the people, aud won for itself the title of the “Never-Failing Remedy.” We warrant this compound to cure in all cases where inflammation is not too far gone to be stopped when the medicine is admin istered strictly according to directions; then it is important tb it every farmer should hare a supply of it. it acts as a healing aud strengthening remedy for the general sys tem, and the animal thrives as fast as if it had never beou sick, on far less grain. The rapid sales and wonderful cures of this med icine induces as to believe that no person can use it without recommending it to his friends. Having such great success in other States, we now offer it to the people of Georgia, knowing that its virtues must be acknowledged by an intelligent and pro- e-people. We might publish mapy flattering letters from other States, but \Ve prefer to insert merely a few home certifi cates from actual us , that all may try it and judge for themselves; and if auy one doubt-j the genuineness of the following certificates, they are requested ro write and ascertain, for every man’s postoffice address is annexed to Lis certificate. READ WHAT THE FARMERS SAY. Black’s Mims, Dixon, Ga., Oct. 7, 1878. This is to certify that the disease com monly known as hog cholera broke out among my hogs, aud I had lost one and my neighbors had lost a great many’, when W. M. Runyon, prourietor of Runyon & Co’s Hog*Cholera Cure, came io my house, pro posing to cure all I had sick, and prevent it iti the balance, tree of charge, iu order to get home evidence that he had what ha recommended. Owing to the fair proposi tion made by him, I,deemed it but courtesy to give him a trial. We selected five head, the worst affected, two of which were past eating, and during the tsu days he has bean treating them there has none died; but, on the contrary, they’ are thriving aud doing well; and I feel that I can with confidence, after seeing the effect, recommend it as do ing all that Runyon & Cos. claim for it, and would advise alt farmers to use it. J. M. Black. This is to certify that we witnessed the above test on Mr Black’s hogs, and it did for hi:; hogs nil that was claimed for it, and we recommend it to ail farmers that wish:to save their hogs from she disease. Gideon H. Smith, H. M. Charles, H. D. Black. Dixon, Dawson Cos , Ga. This is to certify that the s choiera broke out among my hogs, and I iost one of my best; in a day or two there ivere two more that refused to eat anything. I called on W. M, Runyon, then at Mr. Black’s, dem onstrating on his hogs, and procured some medicine and gave it promptly according to directions; my hogs are well and hearty, and I cheerfully recommend it to all interested in raising hogs andjprevent them of this destructive.disease. Eli Martin. Dixon, Ga. This is to certify that one of my best hogs was affected with the cholera, and I pur chased some of Runyon & Co’s medical cofcMmmd, and gave promptly according to and now it is well, and thriving bad never been sick, reeom- t all hog raisers as what we haTO long peeded.

The Fall Trade and Prices. Ia all our large cities there are pleasant evidences of returning con fidence. In Baltimore old indus tries are visibly reviving. The shops and factories are more active, and although the rate of wages among mechauice and operatives is lower, in correspondence with the lower prices of various commodities, we begin to hear rather less of the want of employment on the part of the working classes. Our merchants and dry goods dealers are doing better, and trade wears a healthier aspect. A similar report, comes to us from Philadelphia and New York. In the latter city the principals of the two great houses of A. T. Stew art & Cos. and Claflin & Cos., have expressed the opinion that not only is there a marked improvement in general trade, but that a still more decided change may be looked for in the early future. Prices have reached what is believed to b 9 their lowest point, and the goods that find the readiest sale are those that enter into general consumption. As an evidence of the decline in prices. Judge Hilton, representing the house of A. T. Stewart & Cos., gives the fol lowing figures as showing the cost per yard in 1877 and 1878 of leading lines of dry goods: ‘ Cashmeres, 1877, from 90 cents to sl-25; 1878, from 70 cents to sl. Dress goods novelties, 1877, from $2 to $3.50; 1878, from $1 to $2 50. Camel’s hair goods, 1877, from $1.50 to $2 50; 1877, from $1 to $1.75. Prints, 1877, from 10 cents to 12 cents; 1878, from 6 cents to 8 cents.” Ths above articles, as Judge Hil ton remarks, cover the necessities of the average buyer. For silks the competition between the home and foreign manufacturer makes it diffi cult to get at a standard of value. Hosiery is said to have declined about thirty per cent., the exception being fancy silk hose, which vary in price according to the tints in fash ion. Carpet goods have also de clined in price from thirty to forty per cent. Mr. H. B. Ciafim, on be ing approached on the subject, ex pressed views similar to those held by Judge Hilton He stated that the plainer kinds of goods were ia better demand; that the principal sales were of goods that are absolutely needed, and that merchants, whilst limiting their purchases of expensive goods, are usually careful in select ing them. All this is in exact ac cordance with the experience of our Baltimore merchants. It shows that we have passed what in mechanics is called “the dead point.” Of course the activity in all branches of trade and business is as yet only compara tive. But, as the movement pro gresses, it will gather impetus. It is one of the best signs of the times that we are getting to be more de pendent on our own resources and less upon those of foreiwn .rno-kets. We arc now manufacturing in any things that we used to buy abroad. The finer sorts of woolen goods, bro cades and velvets, articles of luxury, and especially those calling for the highest refinement of taste and the rarest artistic skill, we continue to import, but more cautiously and in lesser quantities than we did in the flush times that succeeded the war. In consequence of this improvement in our domestic manufactures, and also because of the economies that hard times have forced upon us, we are repairing gradually the losses and dieasters of the last four years and also much of the old waste of war. The lesson has not been with out its value, although it entailed great suffering upon many in the learning of it. Perhaps for that rea son it will be the longer before it is forgotten. —Baltimore Sun. A First Class Photograph. This greenback craze is the inven tion of scurvy politicians, who, like gamblers, are ever indeed contriving deceptions to delude those who play at their games. They lead the dupes to believe that by hazarding money they will win a great deal, when trhe result shows that they are only fools who lose all they have by the delusion. Tho rascally politician and partisan promises great things for the benefit of the voter, and thus, aa does the gambler, the trickster deceives the voter and captures his vote. That is what the scurvy fel low is playing for—just aa the gam bler is playing for the money of his dupe. The political trickster gets votes, and the votes elevate him to the place where money is gotten — where per diem or salary—in Con gress $5,000, good people (as you should remember,) is gotten. And that’s the game. That is what the trickster goes for; and when he wins, where are tho voters ? Ah 1 this is the point, good voters. Who of you all are benefitted ? The trickster promises freely. It costs him noth ing. He has no principle. He will promise things that no honest man would promise, and thus it is his policy to make such promises be cause he diminishes opposition, and has the field more to himself. Loon at the greenback gamblers. Do they believe that there is any earthly possibility of an issue of irredeema ble paper money by any government, and least of ail, the National Gov ernment? Not one of them. The truth should never be expected of any man who says he does so be lieve. This greenback absurdity is a trick of the scurvy political hack who seeks a place for which he has no merit. Elect such a maD, oh peo ple, and you will find yoursolvessold. You will profit nothing, while he goes to the Treasury and lives upon the revenue which the taxes you pay provide. It will disgrace any people Ito be represented by such a political gambler and trickster. In such a iand as that we live in it is a disgrace to tolerate those monstrous scemes. Even the discussion of them is dis creditable to the country.— Richmond Dispatch. ♦ , Rev. S. B. Sawyer, of S. C., ac cepts a call to the Kollock street Baptist church of Augusta. The Judicial Election, The pressure of other matters up on our columns has prevented us from referring, until now, to two very interesting and valuable politi cal tables recently appearing in the Chronicle & Constitutionalist. One gives the dates of appointment, com mission and expiration of term re spectively of the several judges of the Superior court, and the other furnishes the same information in reference to the Solicitors-Gen eral. In publishing these interesting ex hibits our contemporary gives the credit of their compilation to Col. I. W. Avery, on© of the executive sec retaries, a gentlemao whose accuracy of research and minute and extensive acquaintance with the archives of the State are so wide and favorably known. We may add that in their publication the Chronicle & Constitu tionalist also exhibits another proof of that foresight and enterprise which have placed it iu the front rank of Georgia journalism. One of the most important duties devolving on the general assembly, soon to convene, i3 the election of judges in the circuits indicated by the consti tution, namely, in the ten where the incumbent* are oldest in commis sion, aud any information bearing on this subject is of special interest. As yet we are not in posssession of sufficient dates as respects the other circuits for which elections are to be had to forecast the situation, but in our contemporary’s, or the Augnsta circuit, it seems pretty clear that Hon. Claiborne Snead, of Richmond, will be the choice of the legislature. Certainly it could not be more worthily bestowed nor could a better selection for experience, integrity and ability be made. Asa live, ac tive man, a son of the State who has served the commonwealth with zeal and fidelity on all occasions as both soldier and civilian, Col, Snead is abreast of any o i our public men, while an extended term of five year*’ constant service as judge of Rich mond county court has not only won him the commendation of each suc ceeding grand jury in that county, but has developed his naturally great judicial abilities into powers of the first order. Like our own city court, the county court of Richmond is a tribunal oi extended jurisdiction, be ing in a fact a Superior court in all but equity aud felony cases, and the manner in which Judge fcjnead has administered its functions and his acceptability to the bar, not only of Richmond, but of the other counties of the Augusta circuit, are best evi denced by the remarkable unanimity ot the bar of that circuit iu his favor when it was supposed some time since that J udge Gibson would re sign and that Gov. Colquitt would be called on to fill the place by ap- Doiniment. On that occasion five sixths the far favored Judge and- from ail our iSfroriaation, Liia * cnoice by tUe general assembly, at its next session, will not be less unanimous. —Atlanta Constitution. Gas from Water. On seeing the application made to the city council by Messrs. Murphy, Quinn & Be'que for permission to cross Sherbrooke street with a three inch pipe, for the purpose of heating with gas tho Montreal Seminary and College, our reporter considered that the matter interested our readers and the public in general; for if heating can be done with gas on an economical scale an immense amount of labor, expanse and trouble will be spared our citizens. Consequently our reporter determined in their in-* terest to learn something aboffc tl\ei scheme and with the following re sult: It is well known and heating can be done* with gas much more conveniently # ana effec tively than with amm other fuel; if, then, an economicaußßde of making the gas can be inveuflßl is solved. This, the above named gentlemen claim to have done. They make the gas from water by passing steam through red-hot coals con tained in a hermetically sealed ves sel, and by certain special devices re lating to the heating property of the coal, steam is decomposed into hy drogen. carbonic oxide and carbonic acid, the last is removed by purifica tion, and the other two gases, pass ing into the holder are ready for irn mediate use. These gases, it is known to all scientists, give more heat than auy r fuei ever yet used. As to tho economy of their pr cess; the proprietors assert that with the use of one ton of coal they can make 60,000 cubic feet of gas, while by the old system only 8,000, could be pro duced; that with the same apparatus they can make gas, twice every hour, while by the old system it takes from four to eight hours for each operation; that their gas will not cost mere than fifteen cents per 1,000 feet, a quantity for which ordinary gas companies charge from $2.50 to $4. These gentlemen have spent over two y ars and much money in experimenting, and having finally succeeded in their efforts, made ap plications in different quarters to use their gas. Tne reverend gentle men of the Seminary, with their usual foresightedness. gave them ev ery facility, and they have now a contract for the heating of the Cos - lege and Seminary—not for the lighting of the buildings, as these gases give little or no light. The company is now formed and almost ail the capital subscribed. It is hoped that the members of the coun cil will give every facility to this en terprise, as it concerns the welfare of all our citizens—the poor even more thaa the rich, as we are in formed that the gas can be delivered much cheaper than any othjr fuel.— Montreal Witness, Robert A. Pedrick admits he de frauded his employer*, Binkard and Hutton, importers of cloths and silks, of New York, out of SIOO,OOO and in addition, by means of forger ies, swindled the custom-house au thorities out of duties amounting to $120,000, How the London “Times” is Con ducted, Y correspondent of the Philadel phia Times writes as follows from London: Before I left Paris the Times correspondent in the East, an American by the by, gave me a strong letter to the managing editor, Mr. MacDonald. The day before I left London J went to Printing House Square—which is not a square —and without difficulty found the porter, who barred the ascent of the stairs. I handed him my card and the letter, and in a few minutes he came down with a polite invitation to walk up. I was bowed into a pleasant room, where sat a canny looking Scotchman, who received me with great civility. After exchang ing a few words he remarked : “You would like to look through the of fice?’’ and I answered: “Yes.” He then said: “Come right along,” and he left his business and conducted me in person, instead of turning me over to a subordinate, as is too often the case. It is an immense estab lishment—without its equal as a newspaper office. I cannot pretend to givo in detail the different parts I was shown, but can only mention its leading features. It employs over tbre hundred material men, as they are called, which includes com positors, pressmen and all others who labor in any way with the hands. There are a large dining-room and restaurant in the building, where all the men get their meals who wish at cost, except a trifle above, which goes into a Bick fund for the benefit of the employes- In the basement is a large machine shop, where I saw at least twenty hands at work and where a large number of the Waiter printing machines have been built, besides those employed in the office. In the press room are eight of these machines in daily use, each one printing twelve thousand five hun dred newspapers in an hour, in al! one hundred thousand in every sixty minutes they are in motion. In the paper room was a considerable store of paper in reals, weighing eight hundred pounds each, and forty of these reels are used in every issue of the Times. They go to press about one a, m., and get off before three, and I was told by Mr. MacDonald that #ithin iw’enty minutes after the last form is locked np the matter has been stereotyped and six presses are running. I was shown into a room where are the wires connecting with all parts of the continent, and within arm’s reach stand-, a type-setting ma chine, managed by two boys, to whom the telegraph slips are passed. They can set up and correct in an evening as much aa six columns of matter, which is sent down through a pneumatic tube, by which channel all the matter reaches the stone. In are two set© of wins jfeiiament, from which IVi u7~pa ° received wjpjf^he l|9f in session, a room connected with the machine shop are two type-making machines, which are kept constantly at work and Mr. MacD. told me he had found it cheaper to make type than to distribute it. The business room is on the first floor, and then there is an “inquiry room,” where informa tion is furnished to those outside who have the right to ask it; several rooms that are devoted to the adver tising department, and others for the staff, which is large. The es tablishment is complete in all its parts, and the employes find beneath the Times roof every necessary com fort and convenience to be had iu a good hotel. The new building is not [Bite completed. I found, as fcjcotch- Hffi ’i say, that Mr. McDonald's head is screwed on the right way, and in manners he is warm and ge nial.

And in the department of music, few can equal Miss Kellog as a singeress.” The young lady did not aopear to like the chair she was sitting on. She took the sofa at the other end of the room. “Yes,” continued the old gentle man as if talking to himself, “those White sisters are very talented.

The Pollards proper, says Social Notes, are a cluster of courts lying in the immediate neighborhood of the Waterloo road. A wretched and not very reputable thoroughfare called Oakley street bounds them to the one h&nd, a still dingier and more disreputable thoroughfare called Tower street to the other. Vice aud misery have impressed their charac teristics pretty legibly everywhere throughout this district, but in the rookery known to local iufamy as the Pollards civilization would seem to have reached its lowest. The more respectable portion of the dwellers there are drunken costermonger©. After these come sharpers, loose wo men and a variety of individuals whose pursuits are difficult to arrive at, but in all probability range from pocket-picking to a little occasional burglary. Last, and worst of all,are the ruffians who live on the shameful earnings of the females alluded to. London has no inhabitants more de testable. In the Pollards such hu man vampires are frequent, and their presence, above ali, renders this rookery after nightfall dangerous to penetrate. A pick-pocket or a card sharper may have gleams of some thing resembling virtue, but one of these wretches never. They are des pised and disliked even by men whom all other classes of ths community hate and desire. The shadow of night once cast upon the place, the condition of the Pollards becomes hideous. Till daj light returns the inhabitants are de livered from all fear of their enemy, the law, and they make use of such license to hold a carnival of drunken ness and violence.
