Tho exercinoß of tlie college are largely attended. Who in the deuce and Tom Walker is ‘Committee ?” Smith & Jenkins’ fine omporium is a regu lar bee hive. Lots of fino turnouts oa onr streets from time to time. From now until September soems like an awful long time. Hundreds of our farmers aro now wrestbng with their oats. There is an abundance ol small grain all over the country. The washer-women may stand aside—the washer-men have arrived. All the boarding scholars of the Seminary left for their homes last week. Miss Carrie Scott has just completed a quilt containing 4,024 pioces. We see a great many small engines and threshers shipped down the Air. Line, The polite telegraph operator, J. H.

There was a largo crowd at the Methodist church Sunday night, to hear Dr. Means. Palmonr & Cos. have i.nuw clerk, Mr. Tel ford. Wo presume theyoung ladies already know this. A great many of the Dahlonega students passed through the city last week, on their way home. The railroad authorities have had a well dug at tbo depot, and enclosed with a barbed wire fence. “And there was weepiu’ aud whalin’ and smashin’’er tee;h” when the train left on Friday morning. H. C. Maddox, of Ethel post ’office, made one hundred aud ten bushels of good wheat to ten bushels sown. The Dahlonega railroad movement is get ting on better than you imagine. We need your help, however. The fino music at the college is made by the students—Professor Fisher is merely acting as the director. Unde Bob Davis knocked a horse down on the public square at one lick, last Satur day—as an auctioneer. Prof. LaHotte is showing tho folks what his boys and girls know,this wook, and they seem to know lots, too. The thousands of black mites now infest ing the country come from the oats. We presume their life is short. A groat many preachers do not give ont a hymn loud enough to bo heard outside of tho altar, or beyond the first seat. Onr geuial and jovial friend, Dave Camp, will be round to show you how well he can wash. Dave is all right, and so is his ma chine. John and Bus Hosch, two hard working young firmers of Jackson county, wo learn have made two thousand bushois of wheat this year. Good. Tho Gainesville Hotel 'changed hands Wednesday. Uncle Phil stops down and out aud Mr. C. A Ilawklns caters to tho wauls ot boarders aud other patrons. We shall not gratify a certain obscure sheet by lifting it into tlie prominence which a controversy with us would give it. Oar gun is not loaded for small game. That rosebud on the young man’s lappel was not placed there by some lair hand, as he would have you believe. He stole it across a low fence as ho came down town. We understand our excellent bachelor ifriend, Miuyard Sanders, was captured the other night, at the young ladies’ reception at the Seminary, by a blooming Shepardess. Prof. E. W. Butler left lust Wednesday to deliver the conunencment address before the Gainesville Baptist Seminary on the next day.

H^H Ileal estate within the corporate was assessed at $113,0110, an last year of $ 11,000.

Wo learn from some of bis neighbors that there is some interest manifested in that community as to who will make the most wheat Mr. Stowers or Mr. John Palmour Some think they will make one thousand bushels each. Our accomplished young friend, Miss Nannie Idler, left on Saturday for County Line Academy eight miles south of Bufoid where she has a large school ready to begin at once. Miss Nannie is an ornament to Gainesville society, and we are sorry to give her up, but wish her abundant success. We are indebted to Col. M. Van Estes for the following—whether he claims it as orig nal, wo do not know: The niau who says a happy thing May say it o’er aud o’er; The angry bee that leaves a sting ]h doomod to st ng no more. I(WS. We do hope our friends from different sec tions of tho county will call in and tell us tho little news items from their immediate vicinity. It will be a great favor to us and to the readers. First Cotton Bloom. Air. James Pass brought to our office last Saturday, the 28th, the first bloom we have seen. Mr. Pass has some of the best and finest cotton in the county. Klowfry Urant'li Lodge I. O. O. F. The following are the officers elected for tho next term. P. T. Davie Noble Grand, D. 8. MoOnrry Vice Grand, J. P. Canning Secretary, F. S Barrett Treasurer. 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 county. About one hundred scholars, old and young, attended regularly and all seem delighted with their school. lion. .1. M. Potts. We are sorry to hear ol tlie death of thio gentleman which occurred last Saturday at his residence near JefferßOu.

Communion Service* There will be hold next Sabbath tho regu 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, aud the “wee sma’ hours ayaut the twal” 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 ly a half sheet for legal advertisements. 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 chool with literature. 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. Klege. Itt Allege Aston, Pam ■ B M Hm of 11 eg e Hlish a I *' )l; Honta- Mested ■ the ■outer Hano ■ for 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. Crystal Ice Cream. We are indebted to Henry Cohen for sam ples of his crystal ice cream, which is cer tainly the most delicious delicacy of this sort which we havo ever tasted.

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.

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.

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.
