Farming Tools.
When you get through with your farming
tools lay them away under a shelter or in
some house so they will not be rotten when
you need them again. It is hard to esti
mate Low much you will save by this
method.
Lebanon Sunday School.
Some weeks ago Col. Estes organized a
Sunday school at Lebanon church, eight
miles east of the city and we learn it is now
one of the most flourishing sohools in the

lar quarterly Communion sermon at the
Presbyterian church in this city and pre
paratory services on Saturday before at
10 1-2. We aro requested by the Pastor to
say if any one desires to unite with the
church to meet the session on Saturday af
ter preaching.
Uritnil Ball at Gower Springs.
The ball at Gower Springs on the night
of the 26th was a splendid success. We
have never seen a nicer and better managed
affair of the kind in or about Gaihesville. It
was largely attended, and not an unkind
remark was made during the evening. At
12, midnight, refreshments in abundance
were served.
Tliird lluartrrly meeting.
This meeting was held in the Methodist
church Saturday afternoon and the regular
routine of business gone through with.
Nothing of public interest transpired except
the licensing of Dr. Bradley to preach. This
was done upon regular application as is
usual in such cases. The presiding older of
the district, Rev. Mr. Mixon, was present
and conducted the meeting.
A Heavy Increase.
Our friend, Silas A. Harris, brought to
our office yesterday a specimen of extra
fino wheat. lie received two years ago a
small sack of wheat from Washington City,
sowed it and saved thirty-five quarts. He
sowed it and last yoar saved about lour
bushels. That was sowed aud this harvest
he gets fifty bushels after all wastes. This
was all done on common gray land without
monure. It shows a wonderful yield or in
crease.
A Ladder.
Everybody should have provided a light
ladder of sufficient length to reach the top
of the house. This ladder should be care
fully laid away under shelter for use when
needed. It may not bo ncedod once a year,
but then again your house might get on fire
and be saved by having your ladder at hand.
A most horrible accident occurred last week
near Jonosboro for the want of a ladder. A
two story house got on tiro and a young
lady aud a little girl were burned to death
just because there was no ladder on the
place.
An Ugly Piece of Business.
From a private letter from a gentleman at
Buford we learn that two or three weeks
since a party of masked meu went to the
house of Mr. James Callaway, an aged,
harmless and quiet citizen, broke down the
door of the dwelling, dragged him from his
bed and beat him unmercitully. His wife
tiied to gei of the house to go to his assist
ance, but was threatened with the like
treatment if she did not keep quiet.
Mr. Callaway says he can safely Bwear to
all tho parties. There has been no pro
ceedings in the case as yet. If the state
ments are true the authorities should give
the matter immediate attention. Our in
foimant states that Mr. Callaway lived in
Tlie Young lalies’ Reception.
We have omitted to make any special
mention of the young ladies’ reception which
occurred at the chapel of the Seminary last
Thursday night. We certainly have never
seen a more enjoyable affair, and the univer
sal verdict of every one who was present was
that it could not have been improved upon.
The lamps verily shone o’er fair women and
brave men, and ail went merry as a marriage
bell. There was a little dash of sadness,
howeyer, in pleasure’s overflowing cup, as
’twas remembered that five of the fairest
would never more attend the annual recep
tion as students, that ihey were going out
on the morrow to begin the great battle of
life. Even this, though, was not enough to
mar the happiness oi the joyous occasion,

A Half Sheet Next Week.
In order that both editors aud printers
may have a few days of much needed rest,
we shall take holiday next week, issuing on

United States marshals’
Our congress having failed, up to tie
present, to make an appropriation to pay
marshals’ after Ist inst., this large class of
officers are now off duty, unless it be some
who are willing to work on and risk Uncle
Sam’s paying them.
Lager Beer.
There is a vast amount of this beer con
sumed in this city. We saw yesterday,
thirty three empty kegs shipped out from
one salcon. This is a sad comment on our
beautiful city. There is more money spent
for beer alone within the city limits than
for the education of the children.
Hard on Marshal Ilanic.
DuPre sold Marshal Hanie a coat and
shirt the other day. The Marshal carried
them home pat them on and went back.
DuPre was in the back of his store. He says
he looked and looked aud to save his life he
couldn’t tell who it was. He finally went
up front and Pat told him it was Marshal
Hanie.
At The Glade Mine.
Rev. Mr. Cleveland preached at tho Glade
Mines last Sunday morning and at night
We learn that considerable interest was ta
ken in these meetings.
We learn from Mr. Cleveland that Mr.
Oliver T. Jnainga superiutendant of a
most flourishing Sunday schoolfat tho mines
ai.u has done much towards furuishiug the

Sule Bay.
Sheriff’ Gaines had very little business to
transact on Tuesday. Ho sold a half inter
est in the house and lot next to the resi
dence of W. A, Brown, now occupied by J.
It. Chatham, and known as the Sam Lesser
place. Mr. Perry bid it off for $305. A
house and lot in Flowory Branch was sold,
but we did not learn what it brought or tho
name of the purchaser. There wore fewer
people iu tho city than is usual on sale
day.
Oniigeroiis Ilnail.
The highway from Gainesville to Belllon
along the Air Line railroad is one of tho
most dangerous roads in Georgia. It fre
quently crosses the railroad near deep cuts
where one can not see a train fifty yards
and many times even if the whistle were
sounded human life would be iu jeopardy-
Wo do think the road should be discontinu
ed or abandoned. Every time any ouo
travels it in a vehicle he does it at tho peril
of his life and the risk is the greater when
women and children are along.
A Small Farm.
Uncle Arthur Mangum living just outside
the city limits on the Athens road, has a snug
little farm of about four acres, upon which
he farms with great success and delight. He
keeps a mule, cow and hog, upon his lots
raises sufficient corn aud provender for his
stock—wheat, potatoes, etc., for himself aud
wife. This is not only farming with profit
but with pleasure.
We are decidedly in favor of small farms
well-tilled, and mention our friend Mangum
with pleasure as setting a good example in
this matter. Four acres well-tilled wil
yield more than ten half-tended.
A Mistake.
A provoking error or two has occurred in
our paper in reference to Mr. James A.
Barns, principal of the Granger Hall
school in this county. In one place the
able compositor saw fit to allude to him as
“John A. Burds” aud again he staggered a
little nearer the facts and had it “John A
Burns.”
In this connection we may montion that
on account of sickness and our Rail Road
meeting on the fourth, the examination ex
ercises at Granger Hall have been put off
until the 31st inst. We are indebted to Mr ?
Burns for an invitation to be present, and
hope oircumstances will allow us to do so.
A Human Monstrosity.
On Inst Tuesday our city was visited by a
human monstrosity. It is a sort of a man,
twenty one yoars old, from Columbia coun
ty, Florida. He has a protly well shaped
head, active mind but is horribly deformed
every other wdy, His heart is on the right
side, he has fiftoen ribs on the right and
four on the left side, his arms seem to be
back side before, elbows in front, his legs
are very small indeed ho has no use of
them at all and he weighs only sixty pounds
His name is Jim Adauas and he is taken
over the country in a hack by an attendant
for exhibition.
Funny on Jim Gaston.
Clint Maddox tells a good one on Jim
Gaston. Clint says Jim took liis posse up
in his settlement to gobble up a still. They
went in the dark to the house suspected and
Jim placed his men around it, he going to
the door with his pistol. They could dis
tinctly hear noise inside. Everything ready
Jim demanded the door opened which was
refused wheu he pushed it open. Just us
did so a large sheep leaped lor the door aud
knocked Jim about a rod. Jim yelled eut
“here boys, one feller has knocked me
down with a maul.” Clint says when all
the sheep got out there was nothing in the
old house,
Polite Depot Agent.
At the depot in Gainesville will be found
the politest aud most accomodating agent
on the Air Line from Atlanta to Charlotte
—Capt. Willie Johnson. We have noticed
him closely ever since ho has been in the
employ of this company, as engineer, con
ductor aDd depot agent, and we have nev
er known him, even under the most trying
circumstances, to give an unkind or impa
tient answer to any one rich or poor. He is
naturaly kind and obliging, prompt and effi
cient and discharges the duties of his office
with perfect satisfaction to tho authorities
and parties of the road. He has filled
the important duties of agent here for over
five years which alone is a high compli
ment.

The Julian High School.
The citizens around A. J. Julian’s near
Wooley’s Ford P. 0., have determined to
build up a splendid high school in that
vicinity and have taken steps to build a
large commodious school room, the Masons
putting on the second story for the use of
Chestatee lodge, and to have all finished by
the first of next year. Mrs. Julian, we un
derstand has advanced the money out of
her own fands to build the lower story for
the academy. This is very liberal in her
and for this reason we beg to name it the
Julian high school.
Mr. A. J. Julian has deeded four acres
for educational purposes and has also given
several lots to parties who are building or
OUR COLLEGE.
COMMENCEMENT WEEK.
The Commencement Sermon, the Examl
nnllon Kxerclses, anil the Concerts and
Entertainments.
Following immediately upon the Seminary
commencement comes that ot the Gaines
ville College. This institution, under the
management of President LaHatte, is one of
which oar city is justly proud. The com
mencement Las been looked forward to with
eager anticipation by onr citizens, and the
Daily Eagle will keep them posted during
the w'eek as to the progress of affairs.
On Sunday, notwithstanding the inclern
ency of the weather, a large audience as
sembled in the chapel of tho college to listen
to the commencement sermon by Rev. Al
exander Means, of Oxford. The chapel was
tastefully decorated with pictures, mottoes
and flags, and the rostrum was elegantly
furnished with an upholsterel parlor suito,
and tables on which were books and vases
of elegant flowers. At eleven o’clock the
stand was occupied by the president and
board of directors of the college, Itov. Mr.
Low ry, of tho Methodist church, and tho
speaker, Rev. Dr. Means. Miss Mattie
Langston presided over tho organ, and with
Professor Fisher’s music class furnished tho
music for tho occasion. After singing and
prayer, Dr. Means announced as biH text
the first clause of tbo fifth verso of the fiiHt
chapter of the llrsi cpiatio of Paul to tbo
Tbossalotiians, “For our gospel ournn not
unto you in word only, but also in power,
and iu tbo Holy Ghost, and in much assu
rance.’ From this text tbo doctor proceed
ed to deliver ouo of tbo most powerful, 010
quont, logical and instruolivo sermons to
which wo have ever listened, a sermon that
bold the largo audience iu closest attention
for an hour and titty minutes. We bad in
tended to give a synopsis of it, but no syn
opsis could do it justice; it would boa lame
attempt at best to convoy any idea of the
discourse. Nothing short of a complete and
verbatim report would ba of any valuo, aud
this we cannot attempt with our limited
apace.
At tbo conclusion of the sermon, Dr.
Means delivered a short but beautiful and
impressive address to tho pupils of tho col
lege.
On Monday the class examinations com
menced. A lino audience assembled attest
ing the interest of our people in tho college
We have not space to alludo in detail to all
the examinations. Suffico it to say they
were most satisfactory, to tho audience, the
patrons and the board of examiuers, aud re
flected the very highest ciedit upon the
President and faculty.
The exercises were confined through
Tuesdey, and at night the first entertain
ment took place.
The audience that filled almost every avail
able inch of room in the chapel was a very high
compliment to tho facultyland student* of that
institution. The poople evidently expected
a pleasing entertainment, and they were not
disappointed. The programme was a most
excellent and phasing one, and moved off
with a smoothness and readiness that was ex.
ceedingly charming,and evidenced most thor
ough training on the part of the managers.
From the first moment when the curtain
rose on twenty misses and young ladies in
the “Centennial Quickstep,” to the time it
went down amid deafening applanse on the
flying “voice” of the phonograph, the large
audience showed no signs ot impatience.
“The Centennial Quickstep” was a capital
performance, and while the audience did not
interfere with the programme by a vociferous
encore, a note to the management requested
its repetition. It will be given again to
night.
The “fairy play” was as pretty a bit of
juvenile acting as we have seen in a long
while. Will Winburn acted “Ugh, heap big
injun” capitally, and every character was
admirably sustained.
“The Young Debaters” was happily re
ceived, and “Trying it on” was a pronounced
success. In the latter, had they been pro
fessionals, we should say some of the char
acters lacked spirit, but we cannot expect
school girls aud boys to be all actors and
actresses. The “Walsingham Potts” of Mr.
Smith was a happy creation, and proved
him quite an actor.
Tho Ethiopian after-piece was capital, far
above the average amateur effort. John
Findley is a team. We have seen the same
character played by a professional, and Mr.
Findley’s rendition was little short of it.
The phonograph brought down the house in
a tumultuous burst of applause.
Of the music too much cannot be said
“I really don’t think I shall marry,” by Miss
Hazleton, was excellent, and indeed the
same adjective will apply to every musical
feature of the entertainment. Prof. Fisher
certainly demonstrated his ability as a
teacher, and every one in the large audience
with any car for music was highly delighted.
We congratulate the faculty upon the pro
nounced success of their first entertainment-
The exercises on Wednesday and yester
day lost nothing in interest from those
that had preceded them.
To night will be the close of the com
mencement, the weeks exercises winding up
with the regular annual college entertain-
ment.
Below we present the programme:
Centennial Grand Waltz -Grenzebaeh.
Longing; solo—Heynor.
We are merry mountain children—chorus.
Railroad Gallop.
Cinderella; play.
Serenade—Ku 11 ing.
Gainesville College March—J. M. Fisher.
Reuben and Rachel; comio—Gooch.
Dance of the Fairies—Fowler.
The Photograph—Comic.
A Thumping Legacy; play—Morton.
Allegro Marziale—Asher.
The Hunter’s Song; chorus—Kucken.
The Maiden’s Funeral Hymn.
When I was a lad; burlesque.
Valedictory Echo; chorus.
Ethiopian After-piece.
College doors open at 8 p m, curtain rises
8:30; admission 50 cents.
All in all the week has been a most pleas *
ant one, and we congratulate the president
and faculty upon their success. The col
lege is one of Gainesville most cherished In
stitutions and one of which her citizens and
press are justly proud. The best efforts of
tho Eagle can always be commanded to
further its interests.

“Home Life.”
Such is the title of a Lecture to bed eliv •
ered at the court house on Tuesday night
next, the Bth inst, by Capt. J. II Wold
ridge a blind confederate soldier, wh o lost
both eyos at Perry ville, Ky., in 18G2. We
trust our people will givo him a good house.
The press everywhere speak in the highest
terms of his lecture, and from what we have
seen wo aro sure those who fail to hear him
will miss a great treat.
Speaking of his lecture on this subject
tho Nashville American vhigh authority)
says; “As an intellectual production it
shows thought and the most careful prepa
ration, being replete with the finest touches
of wit and humor, sparkling with gems of
fancy and adorned with pleasing creations
of the imagination, and yet eminently prac
tical and instructive.”
Tattle From Towns.
A friend from Towns kindly furnishes us
some items of news from that portion of the
moral vineyard. He reports that the har
vesting of a heavy small grain crop is now
in progress. Corn crops look well, though
there has ben quite a drought iu some por
tions of the county. Tho health of the
county is generally good, and the people
are taking a lively interest in Sunday
schools, and general social and moral ad
vancement. The common schools are al
so well attended.
Politics are dull, and the only thing that
causes any excitement i the hog thieves,
which have been getting in their work in
various portions of the county. We are
obliged to our correspondent and hope he
will write again.
Corintli School.
This splendid school is six miles north
of Gainesville on the Dahlonega road, and is
presided over by Prof. A. VauHoose, of this
city. He will be assisted through the next
term by his accomplished sister, Miss Lizzie,
who has just graduated at Mary Sharp Col
lege, Tennessee, and returned home. It is
located iu one of the best and most enter
prising neighborhoods in the county, and
we congratulate both teachers and patrons
on the present arrangements.

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 toeth ! Don’t allow the
“hard times” to be an excuse for their
neglect.
Dr. K. B. Adair, Dentist,
Candler Block, Gainesville, Ga. All op
erations performed in a skillful manner, aud
charges very reasonable.
It is economy as well m the part of wis
dom to have your teeth filled before they
become badly decayed. Many teeth can be
filled and }>ermanently saved for about the
usual chargo for extracting. R. B. Adair.
Foots in all ages havo descended from
their traditional garrets to sing the praises
of beautiful teeth; and no person in appear- j
ance can claim either dignity o. comeli
ness without good natural toeth or their
artificial substitutes. R. B. Adair.
Dr. Adair is the only dentist in this sec- I
tion who procures a license for the privilege
of using rubber as a base for artificial teeth.
Rubber or vulcanite are the only cheap
and durable materials, that can be used for
artificial teeth. All other cheap things 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.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practise,
having had placed in his hands by an East
India missionary the formula of a simple
vegetable remedy, for the permanent and
speedy cure ot consumption, bronchitis, Ca
tarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung di
seases; also a positive and radical cure for
nervous debility and all nervous complaints
after having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of eases, has felt it his
duty to make it known to his suffering fel
lows. Actuated by this motive and a desire
to relieve human suffering, I will send, free
of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe,
with full directions for preparing and using,
in German, French or English. Sent b\’

An oriental traveller describes this bnsy
scene, witnessed on historic shores: “Onr
steamer landed on a beach which was the
port of Antioch, where the disciples were
first called Christians. There was no town
at the water's edge, no people, no wharf.
The passengers and the merchandise were
put ashore in lighters, which ran up into
the sands. A troop of camels, with their
drivers, lay on the beach, ready to transfer
the goods into the interior. Among the
articles landed were boxes marked -Dr. J.
C. Ayer & Cos., Lowell. Mass , U S. A.,’
showing that they contained medicines and
whence they came. These with other goods
were hoisted on tbe backs of camels, for
transportation to Antioch. Thus the skill
of the West sends back its remedies to heal
the ma adies of populations that inhabit
those Eastern shores, whence onr spiritual
mauna came.” —Windsor ( Vt. ) Chronicle.
