THE HERALD,
BY JNO. K. SPENCE,
GREENSBORO', GA., October 26th 1357.
Our Paper.
Ws beg the kind indulgence of our patrons
so r the meagre appearance of Ibe Hen,ld this
rreek. We are making u thorough change in
the form of our paper and it requires time and
patience to accomplish our object,
• r Election Day*.
Tuesday, the 29th October instant.
Wednesday, the 30th October instant,
Thursday, the*3lst October insthnt.
The election to be held at the several C on
ly Seats only Polls to be opened at 7 o'clock,
A, M and closed at G o'dock P, M of each day
Improvements.
Greensboro is begining to look up in point
of prosperity. Two brick Stores aid a large
Carriage Manufactory, are iu process of
erection.- Our enterprising young friends
O. E, Carmichael and J, A, Grilliu are hav
ing the carriage manufactory built.
Large Potatoe. *
Mr. Ed. A. Copelan has laid on our ta
ble the largest sweet potatoe we have seen
this season. It weighs ten pounds and was
raised in this county, hy his father.
“The Show is Coming.”
We announce tor the gratification of the
young lolks, that the show is coming—
Dan Castello’s. Great Show will be here
on the Brhof November. Save vour hall
dollars all ye curious folks who want to see
the Show. A collection of wild animal
from Barnutu’s Museum, will be here, and
a live Hon will be let loose in the streets.
New Mugic.
We have received from ihe'publishing
bouse of Louis Tripp, Louisville, Ky , the
following pieces of new music, lor which
we leturn our thanks :
Bury me under the Willow.
Calmly Sleeping in the Valley.
Black Croor.
Mr Tripp is dealer iu mimic and mueicu l
Instruments.
The Cotton Tax.
A memorial for the removal of the tax on
Cotton has been transmitted to us by a large
and influential firm in Cincinnati, for tho signa
tures of our citizens. Messrs Addy, Hail ACo
the framers of the memorial, are sending the m
broughout the country, so as to get as large a
list of names as possible before laying the mat
tar before Congress. It is, thereforo, desirable
that allour citizens, who wish to be relieved of
this heavy and unjust taxation, sbouljl call at
Howell & Neary’s store and sign the paper. If
no good will be accomplished, we are satisflod
no harm will.be done.
The annual.taxes on cotton amounts to twen
ty-five or thirty millions of dollars which is
paid principally by the pe >plo of the South. —
To bo relieved of this heavy hurdenjwould in
deed ohoer the laboring man who has been
forced to pay so much to the Oovormnent to
keep up negro bureaus,; military offle ial etc.
Fashions*
Judging from the many controversies,
public and private, already h. Id, or on the
lapit, the ladies seem to find it a difficult
matter to dec de whether or not French
fashions are to be unceremoniously cut in
future, and American ideas to receive
exclusive patronnge. For our part, we
admire the energy which cannot find time
to expend in words. That there isestinu
ble natural talent among American motlislts
we have a beautiful proof before us iu the
Ladies Mammoth Bulletin of Fall *ad
Winter Fashions. ” recently issued by
Mme. Demorest at her Emporium of Fash
ions, Nos. 473 and 838 Broadway. This
large sheet comprises seventy iullstzed
figures richly colored, representing a* many
chaste and elegant stylcsof dress, adapted
to all occasions. The Bulletin is fully
explained by a book of descriptions, con
taining also very valuable hiuts upon 4he
art of dressmaking. These excellent guides
to taste, novelty and elegance are placed
at general command, by being sold at the
merely nominal sum of $2.50. Each purch'
aser of the Mammoth Bulletin receives in
addition 10 fulltized patterns.
We have also received Mme Dcraorest'g
Children's Bulletin of Fashions. As prom
ised in previous announcements, this
Mammoth Plate presents an extensivs and
varied assortment of Fall and Winter
styles. It contains over 50 figures, repre
senting many graceful,attractive ideas. It
is accompanied by ten full sized patterns
aud a book of descriptions. Ve think this
fine Fashion Tlate must prove an invalua
ble treasury of information to mothers and
drcssmakeis. The price, including book
and patterns, is $ 1.50.

“Paradise Regained” l Delectable Mil
top ( The Bun has juat risen and chased away
the drapery of purple mist from hill and valley,
and all Nature now glistens and rejoices in the
fresh sunbeams of early morn. Dew drops hang
like liquid diamonds from slender rcse-twigs
and tiny grass- blades, and warbling choristers
play joyfully on magnolia boughs and in thick
hedges of deep evergreen, A charming mock
ingbird from the bough of a tall cedar, trills
his medley Os soil-stirring Bougs and a
petite flying squirrel skips playfully amid
the gnarled branches of an old chcsnut near by,
in search for his morning food. We throw up
our sanctum window to look out on the smiling
scone, and a gentle zephyr laden with perfume
from rose-bowers and jasmin clusters, fan from
nur temples the slightly oppressive heat of this
beautiful “Indian Summer” morn. Tire little
city rests quletlyJn the valloy below, and above
is spread in gorgeous beauty the clear blue
heavens, shaming the hues of famed
Italia’s sunny skies, Nature’s lyre is musical
with my riads of soft symphonies all tuned to the
melancholy cadences oi the autumnal zephyr
which whispers among the Icaflc;* touching
l ham with the “sere and yellow” tinge of death.
The scene steals upon the senses like a pleasant
dream and as the soul isswept away in loving ad
miration thebands are instinctivoly cluspedin tho
attitude of thanksgiving to the gre.p, Creator for
the gift of this beautiful world, the heart gushes
out in grateful acknowledgements and a descend
ing* glory, ineffable, encircles the enchanting
panorama.

of aii piaocs. Kero Nature and Art have done
everything necessary to make a home complete,
attractive and lovely, and (hough it may fall
short in the variety of Its attractions to the

fountains and marble-cinctured lakes to make it

with gently sloping declivities on all sidos and
the venerable oaks which crown its crest east
inviting shadows on the green sward beneath.
The hand of Art has planted and nurtured into
heathful life and fashioned into every conceiv
able form of beauty an ondloss variety of ever
green shrubbery and skirted tho multifarious
gravel-walks with uniform hedges of dwarfish
boxAvood.
Let us walk into the flower-garden and here
we find the very perfection of floral science in
the roetangular, acute, obtuse and circular ar
rangement of tho beds, and in tho skillful dis
position of shrubbery. The choicest flowers from
the gorgeous magnolia to the meek-eyed violet
are found here in endless variety and here and
there the scuppernong and yellow jessamine
trail in thick profusion over handsomely lattioed
frame-work. Avery Hespcrides. Here, too, is
“lover’s cosy retreat” where many bewitching
“Juliets”,have hung in ecstasy upon wooing ae
cents, ns they fell in honeyed melody from tho
lips of love stricken “Rcmeos ” Many “match
es,” wo aro told, have been made in this little
bower, and we would advise our youDg friends
male nnd female, to visit it—. Perhaps many
other contracts fer “bettor or for worse” may be
axado here. The garden entrance is open to all
and we sh. a U be happy to soe our friends. Do

flowers all bloom and the bird3 all sing, we ex
pect to enjoy a half-dozen old fashioned fits eve
ry morning before breakfast
But amid all this beautiful handiwork of Na
ture and Art a saddenning reflection is forced
upon the mind. The good lady whose head
planned these scenes and whoso hands planted
and watered those flowers has passed away, and
decay and neglect mark the places waich her
presence cnoe made glad. Rank weeds have
taken possession of her cherished garden and
the running vine has forgotten her training and
nurturing care. In one room of the grand old
palace, the former master of these lordly prem
ises, broods with enfeebled frame and sick heart
over the misfortunes of life and the uncertainty
of things terrestial. A noble old man! For
forty years, one of the most prominent, active
and public spirited citizens of the community—
he has survived his hea’th, h s family and bis
prineely fortune and is now waiting with heavy
heart for ihe summons to call him from the scenes !
of his former happiness. Under his training,
we understand many men were fitted for useful
ness, and among the number may be mention
ed our worthy townsman. C. A. Davis, who just
ly stands in the front ra of merchants.
Th : s magnificent prope" ' passed from his
hands, but like the bird lingering arounl the
old nest, he still clings to 'lie homestead,
and we trust he may yet soe ininy moons wax
and wane, and that his last days may bo his hap
piest.
The property has passed into the hands of Dr.
T. N. Poullain, ono of our most estimable, gen
orous and worthy fellow citizens—whose digui
fied and commanding form has been seen for so
many years in our streets and which we earn
estly hope may be seen many years yet to come

Mov’d-by that charm which they could give

How oft my boyish fancy wild
Has glowed at nature grand
Or sunk,in softer tones beguiled
By nature’s soften hand,
Who has not felt at twilight hour,
The magio in its thrill 1 .
To sooth the aching troublod heart,
And hu-h its throbkings still.
Art thou alone and sad and weary
Wanting a bosom friend.
Nature around yau waits unweary
liar sympathies to lend- ,
Art thou in search of wisdom’s lore
To settle where she dwells
The smallest flower in the vale
A tale of wisdom tel s.
Then why not turn to nature’s fields
And learn what they contain!
That glorious light, art never yields
Attempting all in vain
Bnlike the ‘‘harp or Tara’s Hall,”
Its music never dies
But often comes in sweeter strains
To bear us to t leski -s. f 5
E'ven now the “Psalm of life is sung
In Autumn’s coning gloom
And days like withered loaves become
Our lives —our deed —tho Tomb

A Powerful Fertilizer.—Every
farmer has soot at command,
whose presence in stove pipes or

cause of fires, occasioning the loss
sometimes .of both property and

ol the valuable manures, and noth

ness and iudifle ence will suffer it
to remain a staudiug menace of
life and property, when it can be
easily removed aud turned to good
account in the field or garden.
Twelve quarts of soot in a hogs'
head of water will make a powers
