To the Public.
It is made my duty to announce that since
Qnr last ^sue.Messrs. John W. Robison, Alex
ander W, Robison and CoL William H. Wy-
lefe have, bought the presses, type and all the
printing material of the Central .Georgian
newspaper and-- job office! Also, that since
said purchase, a joint stock company has
been formed, consisting of the late firm of
.Wedlock, Arline & Rodgers, and .Messrs J. W.
and A. W. Robison and Wyly, for the pur
pose of carrying on the publishing business
jn this place. Furthermore, that the Central
Georgian has been merged into, or united
with the^andersville Herald, and that as soon
as the necessary heading can be obtained
from New York, the:paper will be published
under the name of The Sandersville Herald
& Georgian.
Reader, will you indulge me in a short di
gression? .
No one but myself can understand the va
ried emotions of my heart as the Scenes of
the past few days have been transpiring. Less
than two years ago, under circumstances
crushing in weight, I left the Central Geor
gian at one o’clock at night, and went out, as
it were, a wanderer in the land. As I closed
the door for thelast time, and bade a sad fare
well to a place hallowed by the most pleasing
recollections of my life, the world indeed
seemed dark before me. Thanks to an ever
kind Providence, and your exceeding liberal
patronage, this seeming curse was but a bless
ing in disguise. The success of the Herald
(and pardon me for the remark,) is unparal
leled in journalism iD Georgia.
I shall never be able to repay you, kind rea
ders, for your great kindness tendered me.
But my efforts to pay the debt, as far as I can,
will end only with my life.
The united firm now presents a consolida
tion of no mean pretentions. We intend to
give the public a paper second in no particu
lar, to any journal in the South. By the
first of March next, we expect to present it
greatly enlarged and otherwise improved.
We shall add four columns in width and con
siderable in length. The company each have
respective duties assigned them, which they
will perform to the best of their ability. Col.
Wylev, who is a vigorous writer, and a jour
nalist of considerable experience, will have
charge of the political department of the pa
per. Messrs. Robert L. Rodgers and Jno. W.
Robison will be assistant Editors; Messrs.
Jethro Arline and Alexander W. Robison will
give their attention to the put door business
of the firm. The compnny have assigned me
the position of Managing Editor and gener
al Superintendent. By a united effort and
unceasing attention to the wants of the pub
lic, we hope to merit their patronage and es
teem.
Again thanking you all, for myself and late
associates for your exceeding liberality, and
asking for the new firm and merited paper,
your most favorable consideration.
I am yours, &c.,
J. M. G. MEDLOCK.
P. S. Those who have paid for the Geor
gian will receive the united publication un
til their subscription paid for has expired.
Those who were taking both papers and had
paid for the Georgian in advance, will be
credited on the company books with the
amount, and this paper sent them until the
same is out.

The undersigned, since our last issue, have
disposed of the entire interest in the Cen
tral Georgian to Messrs. Robison & Wylly,
who have united the fortunes of the Geor
gian with those of the Sandersville Herald
and henceforward the paper will be pub
lished under the joint name of the Sanders
ville Herald and Georgian.
To onr friends and patrons, and the press
generally, we desire to return onr gr ateful
acknowledgements for many favors, and to
the public generally for a liberal patronage
and a most generous confidence. To all of
our short comings and deficiencies, your
forbearance has been ns broad as that chari
ty which it is said covers a multitude of de
fects, the recollections of which we must
even cherish in pleasant and grateful re
membrance.
In thus taking our leave of yon,
eommendthe consolidated paper (which will
be sent to all our subscribers whose sub
scription is unexpired) to your most favorable
consideration, and trust you will find it t
welcome visitor to your fireside.
To advertisers whose contracts are un
filled—arrangements have been made to
have them supplied in the consolidated pa
per.
We bespeak for the combined paper
your most favorable consideration, and
trust that its career may be as bright and
successful as its promise beseems.
Those indebted to the Georgian for sub
scription and advertisements are urgently
requested to make immediate payment and
those to whom we are indebted we say we
will endeavor, to be as prompt as our
means and circumstances will permit.

February 2, 1874.
A Tribute to the Boys is Gray—The
New York Sun in taking strong ground
against the increase of the United States
army, compares the material of the Union
army during the late war; with that of the
Confederates, and says: “The quality of the
Confederate soldiers effectually disposes of
the plea that it is necessary to keep a regu
lar army as a nucleus. On the Union side
was the entire rank and file of the old aruiy.
Of that force the rebels had only officers.
The Confederate rank $nd file was composed
wholly of‘raw men, and, in the first two
years of the war, volunteers^ Yet what an
infantry they werejl Those of us who saw #
them charge inline of battle never approach
a Confederate cemetery . without taking off
our hats in homage to the devoted braves
who ever walked straight into the jaws of
death without blenching.”
A singular and impressive incident: says
the Christian. Index occurred at the Firt
Baptist church, Atlanta, on last Sabbath even
ing. The excellent pastor, Rev. E. W. War
ren, was preaching on the subject of the birth
and crucifixion, of onr Saviour. Describing
in vivid words .the awful scene at the cross,
when the sun refused to shine,” by a singu
lar accident the.lights, in the church sudden
ly went out, and the edifice was wrapped in
darkness.
The solemn scene was striking in the ex
treme ; tHe.pasior, desiriqg his congregation
to remain quiet 1 and seated, -knelt in prayer
until the gas cOnld be turned on. On. the re
lighting of tfcft church he calmly resumed
and concludedhls sermon. ,
The incident made a de*q>- impesston up
on all present.

Short Biographical Sketch.
Magnxoia, Jan. 25th, 1874.
.Editors Sendersviile. Jferahk—With your
consent to allow me space in the columns of
your paper, I propose to present the biog
raphies of some of 4he most distinguished
statesmen, philosophers, and heroes of an
cient times, which I hope will be not only
interestmg, but instructive to your subscri
bers.
Augustus had three sons Alexandria,
Perdicas and Philip. Augustus was suc
ceeded by his eldest son Alexandria, who
was unsuccessful, had to give his yonnger
brother Phillip as a royal hostage. Phillip
was called to the throne of Macedon by the
death of his brother Perdicas, and in the
third year of his reign he married Olympas,
338 years B. C., and in the 47th year of hiSf
age and the 24th year of his reign; he was
assassinated by an obscure Macedon, at a
public entertainment given in honor of the
nnptials of his daughter Cleopatra. Histo
ry, so far as I have been able to learn, is not
disposed to speak ont and tell who his
daughter Cleopatra was married to. Alex
ander the Great ascended the throne soon
after hks father’s death, 336 years before B. C.
At the battle of Issns he defeated Darius,
two years after which the battle of Arabela
was fought, at which Darius fled and was
put to death by bis own men.- In the camp
of Darius Alexander took Sysagambis, the
mother of Darius, his children and his Qeen
Statera, considered one of the finest women
of antiquity. Alexander afterwards mar
ried Statera, white at Seesa, who on the
death of Alexander fell a sacrifice to the
cruelty of those whose first care was to ex
terminate his family. Cassander was one
of Alexander’s Generals, and married his
sister Thessolonia. Cassander was instru
mental in putting to death the whole of the
Alexander family. Alexander had a son
called Hercules, by one of his wives, so
said, by the name of Bassine. He also left
a half brother named Aridaious, and another
son bom<subseqnent to his death, and called
after his own name, who was soon destroyed.
Hercules, Barsine and Cleopatra, the then
only sister of Alexander shared the same
fate. At the death of Alexander, Roxana, his
first wife, was very jealous of Statera, his
second wife, consequently she sacrificed
Statera and her sister and threw them into a
well, which she filled up with earth.
I omitted at the beginning to state that
Phillip soon after he was married to Olym
pia, sat her aside and married a Cleopatria.
Cassar broke his engagements with Consutia
at the age of 17, and married Cornelia a
daughter of Cinna. He took Pompia to his
third wife, 1 laving a daughter by his first
wife Cornelia, who afterwards married
Poinpy the Great. Ciesar however divorced
Pompia, and gave his daughter Julia to
Pompy; and soon after this Caesar married
Calphnrnia daughter of Piso. Cleopatra,
Queen of Egypt, had a son by Csesar named
Camsario. Octavius Cfesar was a son of
Caesar’s niece. Pompey at the age of 23
made himself General, and was about this
time married to Antistia, Caesar’s daughter.
Octavius Cieasar was, after he became Em
peror of Rome, called Augustus Caesar. An
tony had by his first wife Fulvia, Antillus
and Antony, and by his second wife, Ootavia.
He had two sons, Antonia .Major and Anto
nia Minor. The last named was the widow
of Mnrcellus. Antony had a daughter by
Cleopatra by the name of Cleopatra, and two
sons Ptolemy and Alexander.
Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was said to have
possessed great charms, the beauties of her
person were incomparable and in tunefulness
of voice in her conversation, she was as ir
resistible as in her personal charms. Those
qualities joined to an extreme profligacy of
manners, rendered her one of the most
dangerous foes to virtue that ever lived.
She could expend more than £50,000 upon
one repast She dissolved in an acid one of
her pearl jewels and swallowed it. She
flourished in and about 43 years B. C. She
was sister to Ptolmey and married him in
his 17th year. He was drowned in the Nile,
and she then married another of her broth
ers, who was 11 years old; this one she poi
soned. Mark Anthony became enamored
with her beauty and divorced his wife Octa-
viaand took up with Cleopatra, who soon poi
soned herself with an asp.
Cicero is to be admired not only ns a great
statesman, but as an orator, a man of geni
us, and a scholar, in which character he
stands unrivalled. His conduct was not (al
ways that of a patriot; he displayed promis
ing abilities in his youth. Aristolet was said
to possess one of the keenest and most in
ventive and original intellects ever known.
His writings treated of almost any branch of
knowledge in his time. He was moderate
in his meals; slept little; was indefatigably
industrious; that he might not oversleep
himself, he always lay with his hand out
of the bed, holding in it a ball of brass,
which by its falling into a basin of the same
metal awaked him. Diogenes affected a
great dislike to wealth and rank, and lived
in a strange rude manner. He was asked
by Alexander, whether he wanted anything.
“Yes,” said he, “I want yon to stand out
my sunshine, and not to take from me what
you cannot give me.” Epamanondos was a.
General of the Theban army, and was never
known to be guilty of a falsehood. Pericles
was remarkable for the dignity of his man
ners and the elegance of his speech. For
40 years he secured an unbounded authori
ty. Athens at this time ranked as the first
of the Grecian States (405 years B. C.) On
his death-bed his friends attempted to con
sole him by recounting his glorious deeds,
particularly his military success. “Ah!”
le exclaimed, “you have forgotten the most;
valuable part of my character, and now
the most pleasant to my mind, that none
of my fellow citizens have been compelled
through any act of mine to put on a mourn
ing robe.” Themistocles was an able guard
gration and blood,
beauty caused the war, by running away
with tho Prince Paris.

The Egyptian Pyr
An Original Idea,—A faw days since, in
this city, a little boy, just beginning to talk
so as to be understood plainly, was playing
in the yard, with the usual glee pertaining
to small children. The mother was on the
step at the door; observing the “young hope
ful,” when a Turkey gobbler came strutting
. forth with his tail spread fall size, and his
feathers all standing, and he paraded with
the usual dignity- of “fine feathers.” The
boy saw him, and at once he gave his notion
of decorum, by saying, .“Momma, mama,
make gobber put down Jxis clothes, some
body see his legs.”

of water. The Egyptian Pyramids are 20 in
number. They are situated on the western
side of the Nile. The largest one of them
is 481 feet high. Its area at its base oovers
eleven English acres of ground. It has
steps entirely around it, mode of polished
stone. The breadth and depth of every
step is one single stone. The smallest
stone is 30 feet in length, and the number
of steps amount to 208. Those works are
supposed to be royal sepulchres, and are es
timated to have been built 2,000 years before
Christ. 360,000 men were employed in erect-
the largest one of them, and 20 years were
spent in building it.
Diocletian abdicated his throne and led a
secure and private life. Some of his friends
attempted to persuade him to resume the
empire. He replied that if they knew his
present happiness, they would rather en
deavor to imitate than disturb it.
The Greeks took Troy by stratagem.
They drew off their ships as though they
were going to abandon the undertakings, but
before leaving left a large wooden horse, in
which was inclosed a band of their bravest
soldiers. This image they pretented as an
offering to the goddess Minerva to be placed
in the Trojan citadel, to give effect to the
stratagem. Sinon is dispatched over to
the Trojans with an artful and fictitious sto
ry, pietending he had made his escape from
the Greeks. This whim struck the Trojans
favorably. They laid open the gates|and
drug the banefurmonster (the wooden horse,
pregnant with destruction) into the city.
That night was spent in festivity through
Troy. Every guard was withdrawn, all threw
aside their arms, and dissolved in wine,
amusement and repose. The Greeks drew
back tUeir fleet in the night to the shore,
landed and at a signal of Helen herself by a
