Tho ruins of the old Law confer arc being removed, which will at lonst improve ( ho looks of the square. L Gone to the Mountains; George Clements, D. McCarty and P. C. Langston left for the mountains last Wednes day. From the number of guns and the amount of ammunition they took along, we suppose they expect to encounter the go rillas. '1 ;.ic Baptist Seminary We omitted last week to call attention to the advertisement of this Institution. It will be found elsewhere and gives full infor. mation. We also direct attention to the regulations for tho admission of students which will be found in another column. llnlmn County-. “A Friend,” from Rabun county is in formed that we cannot print communica tions without the real name of the writer accompanies the article.

It is ouo of the most flourishing lodges in Georgia, and doiug a great and glorious work for the temperance cause.

Page Roark of tho hunting party camped near Sulphur Spring last week, killed the deer for the party. When ho fired the deer fell, and Pago threw down i's gun, jumped on the deer, yelling at the top of his voice, and cut its throat. IJis neighbors have been sitting up with him ever since. We arc glad to lcaru he is rapidly improving from his excitement. A lUmarkalilc Case. Wo spent a day last week with J. B. Bird, N. J. Laws, J. J. Martin and H.O. Burress, surveying some lauds. Th so gentlemen married four sisters, whose mother left them a tract of about a hundred and fifty acres of land, just north of Corinth church. They went to work and divided tho laud into four tracts, and had a land lottery ot their own. The lines were all agreed upon, and each man has his tract, end every one is in a good humor. Tho case is without a paral lel four brothers-in-law dividing the lands of the estate without getting mad. Selling by Wefglit. Business is now mostly carried on by weight and not by measure. Farmers are rapidly falling into the practice of selling their farm products by weight. This is right, fair and equitable. It is strikingly so in selling fodder. Some farmers bind their fodder Un co time a as largo as others, and thero is no justice iu compelling them to soil at tho same price as tho small bundle man. No, go to the scales, pay the snr 11 fee, and have your products weighed; then Our Young Me it. The young men of Gainesville are exceed ingly polite and attentive to the young ladies visiting our beautiful oity. They are dis - tinguished for their attentions to our own young ladies, and no young lady ever visits us and fails to get the polite attention she merits. We are satisfied that the hundreds of ladies who visit Gainesville every season will bear testimony to what we have said in behalf of the yonDg men of this city. Accidents. A horso ran away with a buggy last Mon day evening, in which were Lewis Meaders, wife and child. Mr. Meaders was seriously injured, and has not been able to be carried to his home in Dahlonega. Mrs. Meaders and child escaped with slight harts. It oc curred at Bearden's ford,in Lumpkin county, four miles from Dahlonega. Miss Lula DuPre, sister of C. W. DuPre, well known as a charming young lady in Gainesville society, was thrown aom her horse last Monday evening iu Atlanta while out on a ride and seriously hurt. She rode home, one mile, after the fall, but soon be came unconscious and has been delirious ever since. We sincerely 7 hope she may soon recover. Getter from Gwinnett.’ Editoks Eagle: I believe it is not consid ered polite to speak of the weather, but it has been so dry aud oppressively hot we can scarcely avoid making mention of these things. We have had some partial showers in our section, wtnen is tho nppo* pwii-.n of the county, next to Hall but not enough to bo much advantage. It is remarked, how ever, by our farmers, that crops look well for so dry a season. Wheat was unusually good, cotton exceed ugly forward, ladened with squares aud bolls, corn promising, and wo, in the early part of July had “green corn on a plate.” We are greatly blessed with schools. In a territory of about five mil i square there aro seven under full headway, avera ing twenty-five scholars. Mrs. Nancy Glover, of this community, died on the 14th instant, aged one hundred years. She was buried at Sardis church, funeral seivices by Rev. Benjamin Thomas. The health of this section is generally ry good. Our mail facilities are very poor—eight miles to an office, Buford. Now, Mr. Editor, I commit these lines to your charge and correction, and it thoy uo not go into the waste, basket, I will Gy and do better next time. Respect ul'y, Waw. SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.
