An alarm of fire or a dog fight will show up the number of loafers in town in short order. The members of the Methodist church are making an effort to get up a parsonage, with fair prospects of success. The entertainment of the Dime Club of the Presbyterian church at Dr. Green’s on Tuesday night was a most enjoyable affair. The Baptist church will be crowded to its utmost capacity next Sunday morning to hear the Commencement sermon of our Seminary. The exercises of the Baptist Sunday School will be held at five o’clock on next Sunday afternoon, instead of nine in the morning. Maj. McCants and lady gave a splendid dining to a few special iriends last Wednes day in honor of the return of their son, Willie, from college. Miss Bell Fromm, although quite retiring u.5l modest, is neverthelo s one of the most popular and successful milliners and man teau makers in the city. A funny thing occurred Thursday morn ing when the alarm of fire was made—all the firemen ran to the fire without the en gine. Go for the engine, boys. Mr. J. O. Wynne requests us to state that his name was placod ou the programme for tho Hop at Gower Springs, on the 26th, without his knowledge or consent. Uncle Zaoh Hudgins has, at his place on the Athens road, one of the finest vineyards ;in the country, and takes much pride in it. .We have frequently enjoyed.his fine grapes. .The name of Mr. Claud Estes was loft out uft </ the roll of the honorary members of ffoe WjJkeHoniau society of tho Baptist Sem iuary u the last Signal by an oversight of the printer. Bill Smith and John Findley are going to have an ethiopiau after-piece each night of the Gainesville College college commence ment. You t had better go, and have your buttons sewed on tight. We learn from J. N. Newton that the shop of Morgan fc Eailes, of Dawsouville, was consumed by lire last Tuesday night, together with two fine sets of tools and a good deal of wagon work. Our friend Tom Gritliu, of Banks county, was in town on Wednesday. He reported the wheat crop in hi < section tho best for a number of years, and that corn and cotton are quite promising for the season. We publish in another column the pro" fessional card of Mr. W. E. Candler, o Biairsville. Mr. Candler is thoroughly re liable and trustworthy, and will doubtless give satisfaction to all who may intrust him with their business. Our friend, D. T. Couch, who lives on Yellow creek, informs us that the water spout, or freshet, last week did great damage *to his growing crop and plantation, also ;to hia nei hbors. Mr. Couch thinks that , one thousaud dollars would not compensate t.for his losses. A large company of young ladies aud gen tlemen of the city enjoyed a pleasant socia ble at Maj. McCants’ residence on Wednes 4ay night. Mr. Willie McCants did the flQft, ore q{ the occasion. The party enjoyed a meet sumptuous and delicate repast at 11 p m, and adjourned. W. P. Whelcli6l, Esq., one of our leading farmers, is cultivating his porn crop with a aulky plow and is well pleased withsjt. He says be does not hanker much alter work anyway, but can plow some yet if you will allow him to rida aud give him an urnbre la to keep the sun off. We have received the following message on a postal card. We give it verbatim, and appeal to the laws of the land for protection: "Mr Et, picas send thet batchelar a copy of your paper thet planted thouse parch ground peas thet he may learn that like sowing is not hevy reaping. S C. ” Judge Simpkins, of Jefferson, who lias been on an extended trip np through Ten nessee as far as Nashville, returned to our city yesterday morning perfectly carried away with the sights he saw. He attended the commencement exercises of Mary Sharp Female College, at Winchester, aud says he came pretty near learning grammar, greek and mental philosophy. We are pleased to learn that arrange ments have been perfected for the building of a brick block on part of the burnt dis trict on the west side cf the public square. There will be two business houses two sto ries high, with a probability that the third will go up at the same time. The work will be commenced as soon as the brick and other material cau be prepared. -I. B. Estes & Son, Attorneys at law, have a card elsewhere in this issue, and those who have any legal business can do no better than to intrust it 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 walk from Philadelphia to New Orleans and return in five months, on a ten thousand dollar wager. She will perhaps spend to night in our city. She walks twenty-five miles a day, making five miles an hour. 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 have bee n perfected for the enjoyment of the guests. This resort is at the end of the street car line, and connected by it with the depot, churches, post-office aud business portion of the city. PERSONAL ANI) SOCIETY.

There are over thirty guests at New Hol land already, and still they come. Bob Smith and Charlie Hawkins are dancing around like puppets in a hand organ. Mr. Jennings, of the Glade, dropped in on us for a brief call Wednesday. Ho re yorts the Glade as doing well. They made SI,OOO last month. The mine is not for sale. Wo had a brief but pleasant cc.ll last week from brother J. T. Whitman, of the Dalton Citizen. He did not stop long enough to drink any water or eat np anj- yellow.legged chickens. He is related to the Lillys. Wo acknowledge' the receipt of an invita tion from the managers of Aew Holland to attend their regular balls ou Saturday night of each week. We shall try to drop down in the midst aud look on occasionally. 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 for a medal, the medal to be awarded the gentleman that made the best speech. The medal W'as awarded Mr. J. S. Forester, of Rabun. The compositions of Misses Dora Stonecypher, M. J. Derrick and Ada Can non were well composed, read prudently 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. Thompson, on little river, five miles north of Gainesville, Las ten thousand bearing trees and enjoys i fine income from them. He takes great interest in his orchard, and like everything he touches makes it pay. Mrs. Judge O’Nl has, on her farm six miles east of the city, five thousand trees mostly ot the “Skoekleys,” just beginning to bear. These orchards reflect credit upon the owners and court iy. THE 0; & D. R. R. KNTiitrsiAsTi'j Meet Ing yes- TEHDAY.

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.

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. Hpeciill IVotices. Advertisements will be iuserted in this column at ten cents s line, each issue; positively no devia tion.

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.
