C||f Hamilton Visitor B¥ * p - BOPLLY. FMPAY MORNING, JUNE t, 1873. T* Un> Patrons and Friends of the Visitor. Wehave engage*! the services of a printer “all the way from Newfound land, * y who i a competent w* jcman. We are giving yon a country weekly which compares favorably with any in the Huts, whether it be as regards its print, or the quality or quantity of its reading. To retain the services of our printer, we must have money; and we therefore call upon all of onr patrons and friends to assist us in extending our circulation. We ought to have alx hundred subscribers in Harris oounty alone; and as we are doing our best to give you a good paper, we hold that it is your duty to sustain ns in our efforts. Let every friend or subscriber—whether he be farmer, mechanic, merchant, or professional man; let every lady friend especially—get us an additional sub scriber or two. We have outlived the time allowed us by a few croak ers, who said a paper could not be sustained here—that it would not last three months—and several have beqn pleased to say that the Visitob it the best paper Harris connty has ever had. Now shuv> yonr appre ciation by increased efforts in oar be half. Csvt, Jack.— -Capt. Jack and his Ktile band of Modoc warriors, which have for months fmst disturbed the equanimity of “ Uncle Sam,’’ have at last bean forced to surrender. Long and bravely baa he fought against overwhelming numbers, and doubt los* would have bid defiance to his enemies for months to oome, Imd it not been for the treachery of some of liis former friends. But unless more Modoc* spring up, tho war is •t Inst at an end. The original fifty or sixty Modoos, led by this chief, have lost several thousand warriors, and at least a half dozen Copt Jacks. Hat the last news is, that with two warriors, live squaws and seven chil dren, he has surrendered. Th .is ends the career of one of the bravest com manders of modern times. Water W o**lo —We are glad to see tint the City Councils of Macon sutd Columbus have both agreed to have water works, subject to the irpte of their citizens. We trust the elections will result in their adop tion. It is a matter of surprise tons that Atlanta, so progressive and publio spirited- in.so many respects, has not long ago had water works in opera tion. They are certainly a great advan tage and convenience to any place. HT* Dr. Dorsums, of Mew York, lecturing on Anssatbeeia, says: “The first sms of the use of anaesthetics was on the day when Adam- was pnt to sleep by the Lord and a costal ex section performed upon him with a most aacoeaafttl result beautiful woman. The second case was that of Nosh, who hi his six hundredth year planted s vineyard, drank of the wine, and was relegated to a bßssfel uaooneeioaaoeM; hie posteri ty kept it up." So muck for popular Mfi. Ciianum Haaaar. —We are glad to see that this gentleman has j been continued as the librariau of the Yeung Men’s library in Atlanta. From a personal acquaintance, we oooaMar him not only a polite, affable gentleman, but one in every way suited to the office. The present, flourishing condition of the Library Association, ia mainly attributable to Mr. Herbal. Masiukiv —Mr. J. A. Hunter, ot Union Springs Ala., and Mias Nettio Pierce, wets lately married at the residence of the bride’s father, in this county. Mr. Hunter ia already a subscriber to die Visitor, sod now he has done the next best thing— taken unto himself a wife. We con gratulate the hunter that he has oap tnred his gssw, and wish both the continuous pleasure of chasing the happy momenta aa they fly. llsasd llorax.—-This bouse is now kept by Mm. Hall, Who is known to many of our citizens- To oar reader* who may visit LaOrange, we would sty, that if you want a good meal— not only plenty to eat, but* properly eoeked—and a nice, clean bed, nil at s moderate price, ths Heard Haase wiD please you. A#- The value of the whole real and personal property ia the Unite! States is *50,060,518,507, which would be lem than eight hundred dollars’ worth to each |*crsou. The Woman’s Nights Question. Miss Busan B. Anthony, the avow ed champion of Woman’s Rights, is soon to undergo a t rial for exercising the inalienable prerogative of Ameri can citizenship. She, for many years, has been prominent among the lead ers in this mighty movement. She commenced bur career in early life, by attempting to fill the aching void in-the heart of ner father, caused by the death of an only son. Susan thought that the most successful way of accomplishing this undertaking waa to make a man of herself. She managed to obtain admittance into a : male college. She was soon prepared to go forth into the world and labor ; for the rights of her down-trodden 1 sex. She watched with anxious care the embryonic germ ; has seen it bud, blossom, and bear fruit, But it seems that the glorious cause, of which this sister is the exponent, has reach ed its crisis. At the last election she was about the first man to cast the all important ballot; during the day thirteen more of the strong-mluded sisterhood fol lowed suit. Some days after the election, a young man visited Miss Susie, and after saying it was a fine day, requested the pleasure of escort ing her over to the U. S. Marshal’s office to be arrested. This Miss S. most indignantly declined to do, say ing that she preferred to be arrested after the old style, if at all. She was admitted to bail, and on the third Monday in June the trial will take place. Then the grand question of “To vote, or not to vote,’’ will be decided. Viotory or defeat awaits her. She will soon be en abled to write vici upon her shield, or.see the darling object of her heart prove a failure. Excessive Taxation. The sewing machine business, quite a small and unimportant one in its incipienoy, has grown to be one of tbe largest and most useful in the country. This being the case, we cannot help regarding the heavy tax recently imposed upon sewing ma chine agents, as one extremely detri mental not ouly to the agents them, selves, bnt to the people at large. It placet an embargo npon this import ant iutorest, which will tend to ad vanoe the prico of machines, and pre vent their purchase by poor families, who would otherwise bo able to own one. Further, we oppose the heavy taxation of any meritorious labor saving machine, whether it be for the household, the farm or the workshop. All suoh'taxes come from the pookets of purchasers, and art unwise as well as unjust. Why should these articles b-j more heavily taxed than dry goods or clothing ? We even doubt the propriety of taxing them so much. If heavy taxation has to be resorted to, let it be put on articles of luxury, aud not those of necessity. It seems to be the tendenoy of our legislators, both Btate and national, to oppress the moat useful interests of the land, as shown by the passage of the now postal law, and the action of our last Legislature. Let the next Legislature lift the lax upon the press, and reduce it upon all the branches of useful industries. English Estimate or Lex. —An able article on Robert E. Lee, in the Edinburg Review, contains the fol lowing : The day will oome when the evil passions of the great civil strife will sleep - in oblivion, and North and Bonth will do justice to each other’s motives and forget each other’s wrongs. Then history will speak with clear voice of the deeds done on either side, and the oitiaena of the whole Union do juxtioe to the memory of the dead, and plaoe above all others the name of the Ct chief of whom we have written. rategy mighty; in battle terrible; iu adversity, aa in prosperity, a hero indeed, with the simple devotion to doty and the rare purity of the ideal Christian knight, he joined all the kingly qualities of a leader of men. It is a wondrous future, indeed, that lies before America, but in her annnls of years to oome, as in those ol' the past, there will be found few names that can rival in unsullied lustre that of the heroic defender of his native Virginia, Robert Edward Lee. JB3T Marshal McMahon, the new so called President of h'rauoe, in his aooeptance of the office, promises “to continue the work of liberating the territory, restoring order, main taining tranquility, ana the principles upon whiuii society rest*.” He doesn’t mention the word republic, or liberty, or equality once. There is an immense signification in this. He fkvore “order and tranquility,” and they are well known monarchical phrases. Freedom is always op posed under the pretense that it is opposed to them. They also believe that “society” ean’t feat upon the principles of democracy, and hence, m what he says about that, the old Marshal gives another stab at the Republic. It may possibly be re suscitated, bm it is- safe from this time to consider it gone. State Hatters. —Henry Gwinn, a colored man, and favorably known to the people of Savannah, has left that city to at tend the Vienna exhibition. —Comptroller Goldsmith says the same time is allowed for receiving the returns of wild lands that the Receiver has for other property July Ist —Near Cuthbert, lately, several grown and twenty one young opos sums were caught in one hollow log. —Taliaferro and adjoining counties were visited recently by one of tbe greatest hail falls ever known. In Crawfordville about an inch and a half of water fell in less than an hour. Such a “ trash raiser ’’ was seldom if ever seen before, lireat damage was done to farmers. —The Atlanta lawyers had a pic nic at Stone Mountain a few days ago. —The publication of the Augusta Constitutionalist has been suspended, owing to the dissolution of the co partnership between John L. Stoek ton and F. M. White. —Some $50,000 has been checked out since the assignees of King’s bank began paying the 20 per cent dividend. The greater part has been again deposited in bank. —The Macon Enterprise says a man in Memphis is one of three heirs to a 3,000,000 ft. English estate. Pounds of what? Probably the printer was short of pound sterling (£) marks. —The Court of Claims has allowed a claim in favor of Wm. Battersby and executors of Thos. Metcalf, of Georgia, for $485,245 being the largest judgment yet rendered. —This from the Augusta, Georgia, Chronicle: “Delinquent subscribers should not permit their daughters to wear this paper for a bustle. There being so much due on it, there is danger of taking a cold.” —The Savannah Republican is to be merged into the Savannah Adver tiser, and the Augusta Constitution alist has been suspended. Thus pass off the stage of action two of the oldeft papers in the State, which have wielded a large influence in the past. —Horace King is now having pnt up a good lattice bridge over Flat Shoals creek on the State road, be tween Mr. C. C. .Tones’ and LaGrange. Horace has built several bridges in the adjoining counties, all of which, so far as we know, have given satis faction. Resides this, Horace is a respectable colored man, and is an example worthy of imitation by his race, as showing what honesty and industry will accomplish. From the annual catalogue of the University of Georgia, which has just reached us, we find that there are 312 students in attendance, of whom 51 are pursuing a classical course; 24, scientific; 19, elective; 151, State college; 51, sophomore, and Iff in the law school. We are glad to learn of its prosperous condition. The Griffin News says the Bank rupt Court is in full blast in that city, and that the business will be very heavy during the summor. —We received a pop-call on Friday evening last from D. W. D. Boully, of the Hamilton Visitor Mr. B. publishes a good paper and ia a hard-woi king man. We are glad to know that the people of Harris are sustaining him well. — La Orange Reporter. —The lawyers of Columbus are to have a picnic at Juniper. A good place to gin arouud at, —Among others who have filed their petitions in voluntary bankruptcy at Savannah, we notioe the name of Mr. F. M. Trammell, of Hamilton. —A bald eagle was killed last week in Heard county, which measured six feet from tip to tip. —A Griffin mania reported as having been lately bitten by a anake stung by a bee, lost a valuable dog, and atuok a splinter in hia foot, in one week. lie is now loafing round a stable, trying to get kicked by a mule. If this does not satisfy him, let him try a dose of meningitis. —Charles Baswildebald, a German confeotiouer, living in Macon, wand ered off on the 28th of March last, while laboring under mental altera tion caused by strong drink, and was supposed to have got lost and died in the river swamp. The Telegraph states that the body of a man has been found hanging by bis eospend ers to a limb near the top of a pine tree, some fifty or sixty feet from the ground, and that there is no doubt of its being the corpse of the unfortunate man. —The Times says that Thomasrille, with a population of 3,500, dost not possess a bar-room.

STARTLING DISCLOSURES! Read Carefully. It will Astonish, Profit, aud Gratify You. The intelligent world has believed for a long time that a first-class, reliable, strong, dura ble and light-running Sewing Macbiuo could be manufactured and sold for a reasonable price. This has been verified at last! 'I he Wiuon Sewing Machine Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, is justly entitled to the honor of being characterised as a public benefactor, for placing upon the market a first-class Sew ing Machine in every respect, at a price within.the reach of all, and at the same time finish ing it in artistic elegance, pleasing to the most fastidious and cultivated persons. Agents and canvassers in the Interest of other Machines represent that the Wilson is of no account, or say it is too cheap, and will soon wear out. The reason they so falsely represent the Wilson Machine is because their success depends upon it; for wherever the Wil son it introduced, no intelligent person will buy any other. The cost of labor and material in the Wilson, and all other Machines that are first-class it about the same, andyrill not vary one dollar either way. Therefore, if the Wilson Sewing Machine Company eaa afford to sell their Machines at $56, all other large Companies could do the tame. The Wilson Sewing Machine Company it not to mercenary and grasping as some. It refu ses to join any rings or combinations for the purpose of putting tip or keeping up prices Concerning the merits of the Wilson Sewing Machine we offer the Machine itself and in vite the severest mechanical and expert criticism. It is made from the very best quality of steel and iron. Erery part that is liable to wear to thoroughly case-hardened, and the steel tempered. It makes the Lock stitch, alike on both sides, Hems, Fells, Stitches, Tucks Gathers, Binds, Tfcaids, Cords, Puffs, Ruffles, etc., etc., and sews with equal facility from the finest of fabrics to Leather. Before buying a Sewing Machine, examine every one in the market. Then carefully ex amine the Wilson New Underfeed. Try it; test it Then compare it to the representations made regarding it by its enemies, and yon will be perfectly satisfied that the Wilson New Underfeed Sewing Machine to the best in the world!

It does not mean to par the highest price to get the beet w Call and examine for yourself, and see that what we say to no idle talk Office and salesrooms two doors above J 8.
