As to Spelling.
Ike Wchsterian professor who murders
the Queen’s English in the Southron ought
to rig up a hoisting tackle for the beams in
Lis own eye before he adjusts his spectacu
lar multipliers to scan the ocular demon
strators of other people for motes. A man ,
who spells “mode" without a final “e” and
“moneyed’’ without a “y” is certainly nei
ther “y”s nor at “e”s in an orthographical
skirmish.
Cutting.
Dr. Ham was called on last Saturday
evening to dress a severe wound in the left
hand ol a young Mr. Robbins. He was
reticent as to the circumstances under

that he and a young man named George
Arnold got into “a little scrimmage” some
where “outside of the incorporation,” and
he came out of it stabbed through the left
hand, making a very ugly wound. We did
not learn ag to whether Arnold received any
v injuries.

Register Your lands.
Those of our citizens who desire to dis
pose of lands should not fail to be on hand
when the land registrar stops at Gainesville.
There is no expense to the owners of land.
The Air Line with that commendable enter
prise which has always characterized its
management, is doing this at its own ex
penre for the purpose of aiding in the de
velopment of the country along its line.
They should have the hearty sympathy and
co-operation of the public in the effort. We
shall endeavor to give due notice of the
time when the registrar will appear is
Gainesville.
Aii Important Meeting.
An important meeting of railroad men
will be held in this city some time during
the present month. The president, general
manager and directors of the Air-Line rail
road will meet here for the purpose of
transacting certain business for their road.
It may seem singular that this city should
have been chosen as the place of meeting,
and, while we have no authority to say so,
we incline to the opinion that it was not
without a purpose in which our people are
warmly interested.
Our citizens should not fail to extend to
these distinguished gentlemen a warm and
cordial reception in cur midst.
Personal.
Hon. D 0. Oliver, of Banks, is in the
city. He is here in the interest of the tem
perance order, of which he is one of the
leaders. He delivered a lecture last night.
Major Garrett is again among us. He
has turned out bis whiskers and hair, and
looks like Esau. We are glad to see the
major, and the girls may just as well lay’
down their knitting.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Blalock, of Fayette
ville, are iu the city on a visit to their
daughter, Mrs. Claud Estes. They are
guests oi Col. and Mrs. J. B. Estes, where
Mr. and Mrs. Claud Estes are boarding for
the piesent. We trust their stay in our city
may boa pleasant one.
Dentil of a Ccnliiiaiiaii.
Mr. Joseph Strickland died on Wednes
day evening at his residence, near the cor
porate limits of the city.
The deceased was in many respects a
remarkable man. Ho was one hundred and
five years old at the time of his death, his
I life thns being nearly contemporaneous
with the American republic. Always in
dustrious and strictly honorable in al! his
dealings, he enjoyed the respect and confi
dence of al! who knew him. His wife has
been dead some years, but he leaves several
cbildten to mourn his death. A consistent
number of the church, lull of years, at
peace with ail mankind, the messenger who
had tarried so long came at last and be laid
down to rest. Peace to hrs ashes.
Tlie Nickel Entertainment.
The entertainment given by the ladies’
church and parsonage society on Saturday
levening,l evening, at the college, whs one of the most
i successful as well s pleasant affairs of the
! kind we ever attended. The ladies in
I charge are entitled to the highest credit tor
the happy conception of the plan, and for
the order and system with which it was
carried out. The whole programme was
arranged in excellent taste, and we are sure
that all present were delighted with the en
tertainment and will join us in the wish
that it may be repeafid at an early day
Such social gatherings are elevating and
refining in their nature, and at the same
time aid laudable objects. The gross re
ceipts were 1120 nickels, and after deduct
ing all expenses leaving 910 nickels to the
credit of the si ciety.
Desiili of Mrs. William A. Wright.
We are pained to announce this morning
the death of Mrs. William A. Wright, wife
of the worthy comptroller-general of the
state, which occurred on Tuesday night last
at her residence in Atlanta, after a short
illness of three week". A gent e mother, a
loving wile, a noble, good and beautiful
woman, has been cut off in the very bloom
of life, leaving behind her five little chil
dren and a devoted husband to mourn her
untimely death.
Mrs. Wright was a relative of Mr. A. M.
Jackson, of this city.
It the presence of a sorrow like this, the
tender* st words of sympathy are but harsh
and fruitless sounds. We know not how to
minister any comfort to the young husband,
but trust that II - who doerh all things well
may pour balm into the riven heart. He
and He alone can.
Taking I he Census iu Banks,
Jim Turnbull is well known by these who
know him at all as one of the worst practi
cal jokers of the c.'ntury. His latest fell
out as follows:
In one of the districts of Banks is a cer
tain character who we will call Bill Jones
because hat is not hr: name Bill wanted
to take the census, so he called on Col. Jim,
and begged his aid in securing the ap
pointment. Col Jim cordially promise, >
Hi said he would at once write the super
visor and have Bid appointed, and if he
would come back on a certain day he would
have bis papers all ready,
Bill was on time, Col Jim had all the nec
essary blanks written out. Informing Bill
that they ought to have been printed but
that the government was so poor that they
ciuld not afford it, he duly commissioned
him and sent him out upon bis arduous
labors, informing him that he must com
plete the work in two weeks.
Bill saddled his roan and settled himself
down to business, and they do say a census
was never taken with such a hurrah as was
that one. At the end of the two weeks Bill
promp'ly reported his work complete, and
demanded the pay which Col. Jim bad
promised him should bo forthcoming. It
is needless to say that having the Col. thus
cornered he was forced to own up. It is
equally needle-s to add that Bill made sev
eral remarks, and that people in the neigh
borhooTT thought a sulphuric volcano had
broken out At all events Col. Jim has
lost a vote for senator, and the man who
took the census swears he is going to pros
ecute him for forgery iu signing the super
visors name to the bogus commission.
-
Baby Saved.
We are so thankful to say that onr baby
was permanently cured of a dangerous and
protracted irregularity of the bowels by the
use of Hop Bitters by its mother, which at
the same time restored her to perfect health
ami strength.-— The Parents, Rochester, S. 1.

Rocking.
A friend, writing us from Chesta ee, Union
county, says: “The rocking of Deputy
Marshal Pool, of Pickens county, it is satis
factorily ascertained, was done by one James
Powell, formerly of North Carolina, who
came to this county about one year ago.
He has fled from the country. Powell is
mixed blooded—say about one-third white,
one-third Indian and the other negro, and
is of bad character.
Hightower Items.
Editor Eagle—l have just returned from
Hightower, in Towns county, where moon
shiners and war have been so loudly talked
of. That there has been some violation of
the revenue law up under the Ball Moun
tain is too true for a joke; and one man and
his boys made some light plucky demon
strations among the revenue officers who
relieved him of his handcuffs, but through
the influence of his venerable father and
brothers, with other friends, he has sur
rendered his distillery to the authorities and
pledges himself nevet to violate the law or
make another drop of whisky while he
lives.
At the close of preaching last Sabbath at
the Hightower Baptist church, I proposed
to the entire congregation to organize them
selves into a temperance society, which was
done by a unanimous vote save one, a
stranger, who, I learned, sanctioned the
miasure afterward. The old Washingtonian
pledge was adopted in due form. High
tower has good citizens enough to reform
the few that may have been taking liberty
outside of la -. So the world is turned
upside down, without the firing of a gun.
“The gentle hand leadeth the elephant
himself by a hair.” Yours, very truly,
Alfred Corn.

Rudolph di Wood's Tannery.
A day or two since we were out at Wood’s
mill, and took occasion to take a look over
Messis. Rudolph & Wood’s tannery. Those
who have never seen it have no idea of the
magnitude of the enterprize. The hides
are first soaked, and are then thrown into a
large revolving water-wheel, where they are
left in constant motion for twelve hours,
being thus rendered perfectly soft and plia
able for the liming process. Having been
prepared sot tanning, they are then put
into the vats and remain the requisite time.
Then follows the finishing process. This
tannery makes all classes of leather—sole,
harness, upper leathers, kips, calf-skins,
etc., and we learned that they readily dis
pose of their entire product. Indeed, they
cannot keep up with their orders, and will
soon increase their facilities.
Their machinery and arrangements are
all of the very latest and best. From the
bark houses, where hundreds of cords are
kept iu stock, a car runs into the second
story of the bark mill and dumps tl o bark
right to tl e machinery. Passing through
this, it is reduced to fine powder and car
ried by a belt elevator directly to the
leaches. There arc three of these, and the
clear water flows from conductors into one,
and passing through the three, comes out
the strongest tan-o. ze. It is then drawn
through hose into the vats.
There is quite a trade in the fan bark. It
is worth from three and a half to five dol
lars a cord, according Io quality.
We are indebted to Mr. Stansbury, the
superintendent, for bis couiteous attention
and explanations of all the details of the
bu.-iness, and it is a pleasure to record the
seccess of this, one of Gainesville’s most
enterprizing manufacturing interests.

having bad placed in his hands by an East
India missionary the formula of a simple
vegetable remedy, for the permanent and
speedy cure of consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung
diseases, also a positive and radical cure for
nervous debility and all nervous complaints,
after having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his

Positive KesiiHs*
There are numerous remedies that cure
sometimes and become trusted as useful, but
none have ever proved so effectual—cured
to many and such remerkable cases—as Dr.
Ayer’s medicines.
The cherry pectoral has restored great
numbers of patients who were believed to
be hopelessly affected with consumption.
Ague cure breaks up chilis and fever
quickly and surely.
Ayer’s compound extract of sarsaparilla
eradicates scrofula and impurities of the
blood, cleanses the system and restores it
to vigorous health. By its timely use manj’
troublesome disorders that cause a decline
of health are expelled or cured.
Ayer’s pills and their effects are too well
known everywhere to require any recom
mendation from us here.—Scranton (Pa.)

THE SUN FOR 1880.
The Sun will deal with the events of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
well understood by everjbedy. From Jan
uary Ist to December 31st it will be con
ducted as a new-paper, written in the Eng-
Ilish language, and printed lor the people.
Asa newspaper, Tub Sun believes in get
ting all the news of the world promptly, and
presenting it hi the most inte’ligible shape
—the shape that will enable its readers to
keep well abreast of the a e with the least
unproductive expenditure of time. The
greatest interest to the greatest number—
that is, the law controlling its daily make
up. It now has a circulation very much
larger than that of any other American
newspaper, and enjoys an income which it
is at ell times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit of its readers. People of all
conditions of lite and all ways of thinking
buy and read The Sun; and they all derile
satisfaction of some sort from its columns,
for they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs, The
Sun believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspired by genu
ine American principles and backed by hon
esty of purpose. For this reason it is, and
will continue to be, absolutely independent
of party, class, clique, organization, or in
terest. It is for all, but of none. It will
continue to praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking care that its lan
guage is to the point and plain, beyond the
possibility of being misunderstood. It is
uninfluenced by motives that do not appear
on the surfhee; it has no opinions to sell,
save those which may be had by any pur
chaser with two cents. It hates injustice
and rascality even more than it hates un
necessary words. It abhors frauds, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every
species. It will continue throughout the
year 1880 to chastise the first class, instruct
the second, and discountenance the third.
All honest men, with honest convictions,
whether sound or mistaken, are its friends.
And Thh Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth to its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The
Sun will be conducted during the coming
year.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. It is impossible to
exaggerate she importance of the political
events which it has in store, or the nece&sity
of resolute vigilance on the part of every
citizen that desires to preserve the govern
ment that the founders gave us. The de
bates and acts of Congress, the utterances
of the press, the exciting coo teste of the
republican and democratic parties, now
nearly equal in strength throughout the
country, the varying drift of public senti
ment, will all bear directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fourth presidential elec
tion, to be held in November Four years
sgo next November the will of the nation,
as ex-pressed at the polls, was thwarted by
an abominable eoniqitracy, the promoters
and beneficiaries of which still hold the
ofliors they stole. Will the crime of 1876
be repeated in 1880 ? the past decade of
years opened with a corrupt, extravagant
and insolent administration intrenched at
Washington. The Sun did something tow
ard dislodging the gang and breaking its
power. The same men are now intriguing
to restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they suc
ceed? The coming year will bring the an
swers to these momentous questions. Trb
Sun will be on hand to chronicle the facta
a- they are developed, and to exhibit them
clearly and fearlessly in their relations to
expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs of
life, and in great things a steadfast purpose
to maintain the rights of the people and the
principles > f the constitution against a 1
aggressors, The Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive, and at the same Iron
entertaining history of 1880.
