be commenced as soon as the brick and
other material cau be prepared.
-I. B. Estes & Son,
Attorneys at law, have a card elsewhere

to their management.
Pine Wheat.
We are indebted to Mr. A. H. Woidliff,
Forsyth county, Ga., fora sample of extra
tine wheat. The grain cVops in that section
are said to be very fine.
Doors, Sash and Blinds.
We invite the attention of our enterpris
ing citizens, who are building, to the adver
tisement of Mr. W. G. Ashley, which ap
pears elsewhere. He gives quotations which
speak for themselves.
Pine Grapes.
Rev. T. P. Cleveland has two of the finest
grape vines in his garden we ever saw, and
there are more grapes on them than
we have ever noticed on vines of the same
age. They are Concord and Clinton.
The Wheat Crop.
Our country throughout North-east Geor
gia, so far as we know, is blest with the best
wheat crop since 18cw. On all hands onr
farmers are harvesting fine, heavy, full
headed wheat, and it will be a great relief to
the whole country.
A Walking Woman.
Mrs. Potts, a blonde widow, is now on a

Maj. M. P. Caldwell.
We are pleased to state that we have been
so fortunate as to secure the services of this
gentleman, who will represent our interests
and receive subscriptions for the Eagle, and
will also aid us in the local department at
such times as he is not engaged in official
duties.
Vote of Thanks.
The members of the Chestnut Mountain
Sunday-school and Teachers’ Club unani
mously tender their sincere thanks to Col.
J. B. Estes and Bov. W. C. Smith for the
able and eloquent addresses delivered to
their school by these gentlemen on the Bth
instant.
An Episcopal Church.
There is a movement on foot to build an
Episcopal church in our city, and we are
glad to learn it is likely to succeed. There
are several members of that denomination
now in the city, and we doubt not if they
had a church the membership would largely
increase.
Flic.
An alarm of fire was sounded Thursday
morning in our city, and in five minutes
about two hundred men were making head'
way towards Col. E. M. Johnson’s residence.
It was found that the roof had taken fire,
bat was discovered by the cook and put out
just as help was at hand.
Tlic Growing Crops.
Our farmers are pushing ahead with their
crops much bettor than usual for this
time of year. Tho crops are well advanced,
cottou, potatoes, etc. We think there is a
good average of corn, and it is looking well.
So of cotton: it is growing rapidly -plenty
of squares, and the farmer is happy.
Next Sunday.
There will be no morning services at the
Methodist church next Sunday, the congre
gation of that church visiting the Baptist
church to hear the Commencement sermon
of the Baptist Seminary, to be delivered by
Rev. B. F. Tharpe, of Perry, Ga. Sunday
school will be held at the usual hour.
John Ryan,
The live Atlanta dry goods man, makes
his summer announcement elsewhere. Ryan
is bad to beat, and when he starts in to get
up a sensation on dry goods lie generally
does it. He has refitted the shelves deple
ted by his rushing trade, and proposes to
keep up the racket during the entire sum
mer. See advertisement elsewhere.
Plnilley Mine, No. 3.
As the work progresses on this valuable
discovery, tho yield far exceeds the most
sanguine expectations. In going down upon
the vein the bar is much richer and tho vein
much larger. The yield from the surface
and red dirt below the vein is the richest
ever worked in these mines here, averaging
from one to two ounces to the hand, with
only a small head of water to operate with.
From henceforth the yield will no
doubt be much larger, as Col. Findley
has just completed anew dam, and the
water wiil be plentiful hereafter.
IVntionul Dental Association.
The Georgia State Dental Society and
North and South Carolina Dental Associa
tions will be held in Augusta, Ga., com
mencing July Bth, 1879, and continuing
four days. This, with invited delegates
from other States, will make one of the
largest and most beneficial sessions of the
dental profession over field in the United
States. All who attend these meetings are
benefited by them. The usual courtesies
will be extended to all who attend by the
hotels and railroads, except the Georgia
railroad. The latter three cents per mile
each way.
Tobacco.
We h ive received from Rev. .J. S. Brooks,
of Clay county, North Carolina, a sample
of leaf tobacco, which will compare favora
bly with any "Virginia leaf” we have.
There is no country better adapted to the
cultivation of tobacco than the mou itain
sectiou of North Georgia and Western North
Carolina, and if the necessary intelligence
and skill wei-6 brought to bear in its man
agement, no crop can be grown with equal
profit. We are glad to know that increased
attention is being directed to this valuable
crop, and that the time is not di >taut when
a sufficient quantity will be raised to author
ize the opening of a wholesale market in
Gainesville.
Cow er Springs.
This elegant summer resort, an advertise
ment of which will be fund in another
column, is now open for the reception of
guests. The arrangements are such as to
ensure the comfort of ail who may favor
them with their patronage during the sea
son. The house is thoroughly refitted
throughout, and the spring has been over
hauled and re-arranged, and is now pro
nounced second to none by competent
judges. All the necessary arrangements

Public Exercises of Tallulah School
J, W. Foster, Principal.
The public exercises of Tallulah school,
pleasantly located in Tallulah Valley, ten
miles west of Clayton, occurred May 29th
and 30th, in which the lovo of labor and a
proper employment of time were satisfacto
rily manifested by students, teacher and
patrons.
I cannot fully detail the examination from
observation, but witnessed the following in
the foi enoon of the 29th, a critic examina
tion of six classes, to-wit: Dictionary, Smith’s
Grammar ; 2nd class, Town-’ Analysis.
Quackenbos’ Grammar, Philosophy and
Rhetoric; and after recitation of an hoar,
the examination continued as follows: Har
vy’s Grammar, Sanford’s High School Arith
met'e. Ist class, Hunter’s Plain Geometry.
The exercises before noon of the 30th con
sisted of an examination of four classes,
namely: Ist class, Smith’s Grammar; Geog
raphy, Davies’ Elementary and University-
Algebras. The above classes acquitted
themselves nicely and honorably.
After a public entertainment, consisting
of a fine dinner prepared by the community
in which the school is located, the Acad
emy was densely crowded with anxious pa
rents to witness the declamations and dia
logues of the gentlemen, and compositions
of the ladi s. Eighteen gentlemen spoke

gentleman that made the best speech. The
medal W'as awarded Mr. J. S. Forester, of

and fluently. The audience was enteitainad
by an address from S K Christopher about
40 minutes. The exercises closed by a
short address aud appropriate remarks of
the Rev. Thomas Carter.
F. C. F.
The Quattlebaum House.
Elsewhere to-day wili be found the adver
tisement of this deservedly popular house.
To those who have ever stopped there it is
needless for us to say a word in commenda
tion of "Uncle Dan’s elegant fare. Those
who do not know of this, we would advise
to give it a trial. The table is supplied with
the very best this or any other market af
fords, aed the rooms are large, airy and
well furnished. In addition to these, there
is an elegant grovJ of virgin forest trees aud
good water, while "Uncle Dan’s” jokes are
sufficient in themselves to cure a man‘of the
dyspepsia or the slues. Uncle Dan always
has his share of tie custom, and those who
once stop with him always return,
Fiiw Orchards.
Oar county hastwo of the largest orchards
in the upper part of the State. Col. 0. B.

He takes great interest in his orchard, and
like everything he touches makes it pay.

miles east of the city, five thousand trees

North of the Blue Ridge.
As we stated last week there are several
things we saw and heard while rusticating
north of the Blue Ridge a short time since,
which we propose to notice. As stated then
there has been a marked improvement in
the educational and moral interests ot this
section within the last few years as seen in
the repair of the old and the. erection of new
churches, as well as in the multiplication of
literary snd Sunday schools. The legitimate
effect of these agencies was observable in
the general quiet and order of the people
and the absence of everything like rowdying
and ruffianism at all the public gatherings.
There is, however, a slight drawback to
this cheerful and encouraging outlook. We
were informed that a number of Mormon
missionaries were actively at woik in sever
al neighborhoods, using every artifice and
device to make converts to their polluted
system. But this moral leprosy will not
succeed in deluding and corrupting the
citizens of this section, for of all people,
mountaineers have always been truest to
their traditions. There seem3 to be some
thing in their "everlastiog hills,” which
cates them to stand to their convictions.
The mineral interests of this sectiou are
attracting more attention than at any time
heretofore.
Several small companies are at work in
the Coosa mines south of Blairsv, lie. Of
these the celebrated|‘Robinson lot’ now being
worked by Mr. S. B. Chastain, formerly of
this couDty, is paying handsomely. The
The gold on this lot is usually coarse, and
is often found in slugs, two of which were
shown us by Mr. Chastain—one weighing
42 and the other 15 pennyweights. North
of Biairsville and on the line dividing Union
and Towns county, is a rich mineral belt in
which several leads have been opened and
are now worked in a small way quite suc
cessfully. With sufficient capital and the
introduction of the necessary machinery
for crushing the ores, with modern appli
ances for saving the gold, large dividends
would doubtless be realized. In the east
ern part of Towns county, on the waters of
Hightower, placer mines hare been worked
at intervals for several years. Recently a
lead of gold bearing quarts has been discov.
ered on Bell creek, a few miles north of the
town of Hiwassee, which is exciting consid
erable interest. This will be further pros
pected soon and its true character deter
mined. Copper is also found in this county
in paying quantities but for the recent
heavy decline in marketable value of this
metal.
The recent discovery of nickel it is be
lieved will in time prove to be of great value
to the citizens of this county and develop
mints of wealth. Here too may be found
corundum, rubies, kaoline, rutile, mioa,
manganese, magnetic iron, cromate of iron
with many other metals, minerals and pre
cious stones, awaiting capital and skill to
bring them to the surface, and fashion them
so as to subserve the uses, supply the wants
and contribute to the happiness of man
kind. The time cannot be distant when
the elements of wealth which lie hidden in
this picturesque and attractive section, shall
be made available, thus answering the ends
and iulfi ling the purposes for which it was
created.
In our rambles we dropped down to
Ilayesville, N, C., one of the quietest and
most orderly villages wo have ever visited.
While here we had the pleasure of attend
ing the closing exercises of the Hicksville
High School—now presided over by Prof
Tessenden, a cultivated gentleman and an
accomplished teacher.
This is one of the best schools in the
mountain country, and the exercises which
we witnessed reflected the highest credit on
both teachers and pupils.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
Ol tlie
Grand Jury. June Term, Towns Supelor
Court.
We the Grand Jurors selected, chosen and
sworn for the June term, 1879, of the Supe
rior court, of said county, submit the fol
lowing General Presentments, to wit:
We have finished up all the criminal bus
iness where we have been able to have wit
nesses brought before us, and we are glad
to note the fact that crime does not seem to
be on the increase in our county.
We have through committees appointed
for that purpose, examined tho books and
papers of the various county officers, and
find them correctly and neatly kept, as far
as we have been able to make such exami
nation during the limited time allowed us.
We find a deficiency in the vouchers of
the county treasurer of $11,77, which may
be a mistake in our calculation, which was
very hurriedly made. We find the public
roads in very good condition, but not prop
erly posted; and we recommend that the
several road commissioners have the public
roads all well worked during the months of
July, August and September, and that the
roads be properly posted.
We recommend that the Ordinary have
the Blue Ridge road leading to the Unicoy
Gap put in good condition at once, or pro
ceed to forfeit the charter for the same.
We recommend the appointment of Dan
iel R. Conly as a member of the county
board of education, to fill the vacancy of
Wm. P. Reese, whose term of office has ex
pired.
Wo recommend tho name of A. A. Nichol
son as a suitable person for notary public
of the 833d district. G. M. of said county to
fill the vacancy of Wm P. Reese, who was
appointed notary public of said district, but
failed to qualify. And we recommend Mar
cus L. Kirnsey as notary public for the 918th
district, G. M. of said county, to fill the va
cancy caused by his own removal from the
district, the said Marcus L. Kirnsey having
removed back into the said district -
We find the jail not in very good condi
tion, and not very well kept, but we think
it safe for the detention of prisoners unless
they are aided by outsiders.
Tho court hous needs repair, especially
some iron bolts through the walls to prevent
them from giving way.
The Macedonia bridge needs repairs which
we recommend the Ordinary to have made
at once.
We regret to say that our tax collector for
the year 1878 has not settled with the Ordi
nary, or paid the full amount of county tax
to the county treasurer; and we recommend
that he be required to do so without delay.
We have fixed the pay of bailiffs and ju
rors at one dollar per diem.
We tender our thanks to his honor, Judge
Loster, for the able, efficient and impartial
manner in which he presided during the
present term of court; also to solicitor gene
ral Greer, for his energy, courtesy and effi
eieucy in the discharge of the duties of his
office.
All of which is most respectfully sub
mitted.

I certify that the foregoing is a true ex
tract from the minutes of said court June
5,1879. F. C. FOSTER, Clerk S. C.
Teeth extracted without pain at Dr
Adair’s Dental Palace.
How many persons speak indistinctly
from the simple want of having a full set of
teeth. A.
Save your teeth ! Don’t allow the
"hard times” to be an excuse for their
neglect.
Hr. K. B. Adair, Dentist,
Candler Block, Gainesville, Ga. All op
erations performed in a skillful manner, and
charges very reasonab ! e.
Poets in all ages have descended from
their traditional garrets to slug the praises
of beautiful teeth; and no person in appear
ance can claim either dignity o. comeli
ness without good natural teeth or their
artificial substitutes. R. B. Adair.
Dr. Adair is the only dentist in this sec
tion who procures a license for the privilege
of using rubber as a base for artificial teeth.
Rubber or vulcauite are the only cheap
and durable materials, that can be used for
artificial teeth. All other cheap thiugs that
you see advertised are but faint delusions.
Decayed teeth are always a fruitful
source of disease, vitiating the saliva,
and infecting the blood at every inspir
ation. Decayed tooth substance, when
viewed through the microscope, reveals
myriads of animalcules, called parasites;
these cause a disagreeable breath, which
is always repulsive. The remedy for
all these evils can be had at Dr. Adair's
office.

The Gower Springs.
TO THB •-0BLIC:
This famous watering place is now open
to visitors for the season. The hotel is
now, with large, airy, plastered rooms, fur
nished with neat, new furniture, and my
table is supplied at all times with the best
the fine markets of Gainesville and the sur
rounding country afford, and polite and at
tentive servants are always on hand to attend
visitors. The hotel is one mile and a quar
ter north of the court house in Gainesville,
in a beautiful native oak forest, on a high,
sandy eminence, from which the beautiful
Blue Ridge can be seen, and is connected
with the city, post office and Air-Line depot
by street railroad.
The Spring is the best chalybeate water
in the State, and has oftected many wonder
ful cures. The distinguished chemist, Prof.
Land, of Atlanta, says: “Upon a qualitative
analysis of the water of the Gower Spring. I
find this is one of thejbe t chalybeate waters
I have ever examined.”
I make no empty promises. I will treat
all visitors and patrons alike and refer with
pleasure to my patrons of last season as to
my tare, attentions, and the excllence of the
water. Respectfully, E, N. GOWER,
