Debts now due for advertising will tie collected tiv Messrs. Lines & Wing. S. Dk F. Links, O F. Wisu. 11. W. Smith. THE EWTKBPBIMJ Having purchased the Macon I)ailt Lntkki'Hlse from Messrs. Linas Wing <fc •Smith, we purpose after to day's issue as suming entire control of it, and to make an immediate effort to advance it into the front rank of tbc tirat journala of Georgia. To tbia eud it will be changed into a morning paper on neat Tuesday. If our effort* are sustained by % generous public ills our Intention to enlarge, remodel and otherwise improve the paper throughout. Mr. B. W. Smith in taking leave of Lie late partners does so with many feel ings of for the relations always maintained have been of the most pleasant character. Ths debts and liabilities ol llu; lute firm will be assumed by Messrs. Lines & Wing, wbo will In future devote their entire nt teuliou to their Job Office, which as is now well known la one of the best nnd most complete in the State. The existing con tracts for advertisements and subscription will be filled by the new proprietors. It is customary in notices of this kind to indicate the future political course ef the pai*er. We preler not to do so, farther than to say It will be free from all politi cal ties as much as possible, and iudaed to have as little to do with politics as prac ticable. Our idea of modern journalism Is to always make that class of literature give way to news. 11. V. Stevkksoh, IJ. W. Smite. TUBS KBITOR. Soma three months since tho writer hereof assumed editorial control ef The Lutkbimus*, succeeding l)r. llicks. The arrangement being ouly temporary. Us pre ferred the impersonal role, which he him self has maintained, although his name has been kindly mentioned by a number of bis contemporaries. To-dsy, as per an nouncement, a change has taken place in the proprietorship of the ’paper, undor au spices that promise well for its future, and the writer hereof, as “The Editou, re tires from the tripod with tho moet sincere' heartfelt good wishes for tho new proprie tors and editor*, and pleasant remembran ces for all with whom he has been hereto fore associated.! Commending tho paper to the continued and growing favor of its reader*, and the public, wbicb will only be in accordance with its deserving*, he now becomes, as l*eton>, An Kx-Enoit. ———♦ Bwi.mu.inu an actress. — Charlotte Cushman bad saved up all the spare change she could, and at one time had a little sur plus pile of $5,000, to Invest in some good place In 1866 ahe played iu Washington, and while there was Induced by several of the brighter lights to take stock in that bubbly atfair, known as the Seneca Sand stone Cos. She did so. She now finds out that ahe is most egregiously swindled. “ When lovely woman stoops to folly Arul finds too late that men betray What charm can aoothe her melancholy,’' save the court*, and hither she went. A suit has now commenced against the offi cers and directors of the aforesaid Compa ny, to recover that previous $5,000. We hope she will wiu. Go it, Charlotte! The New Hampshire Electioh.—The democratic party Las been killed and bur ied lu Naw Hampshire regularly every year since the days of Frank Pierce. But like the Irishman wha was supposed to have been killed in a railroad collision* whose body was duly identified by h ! a Bridget, properly waked and decently buried, all of which was contradicted by Pat coming back in person, it will turn up again. -Amock, arrah,Patrick, jewel, ye know you are dead, for wasn't I at your wake meself," said his wife when Pat appeared in the shanty. And the returns of the recent election up there proves that the democrats are still in the New Hampshire shanty. ■■■■*♦ ■ ■ A Rapid Write*—Six Books is Oke Bat.—We turned out to the astonished gaze of the world yesterday, anew novel writer by the name of Buener. He was born at 4 o’clock sharp, became a "perfect master of the English language, and pure, and really great author of fiction," left six books unpublished behind him and died by early bed time. Judging from the name. Buener must hare been a French man, but we really suspect from the ebitu ary notice that his real name used to be Bulwer. THE SAVANNAH HOBHBMf. We grieve to state that the officers of the bank in Savannah which was robbed a few weeks sgo arc still without the post office address of their absconding clerk aud defaulter, Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones was a very pioua young man from New Eng land, §o pioua indeed that the bank em ployed him without other bond than an apparent full (tuck of that important in gredient. lie was loud in prayers, an at tentive reader of religious literature, and it is said gave it out that he had serious Intentions of studying for the ministry.— He left on the 21th of February w ith over s3rt,<>oo of the hank's money, and is no doubt by this time among the heathens of Asia or Africa, dissributing Boston tracts aud engaged In other good works, all look ing to the immediate overthrow of the es tablished systems of the country aud the sutxlitutiou of New England ideas instead. Since writing the above paragraph we find the following further development re corded iuthe Savannah Republican : “We learned yesterday from a private source in the city, that information had been re ceived at the Southern Batik headquarters in this city that an Atlanta bank had cashed & fraudulent check of the bank here for forty five thousand dollars on the Park Bank of New York, and had subse quently received the goodly amount on demand over the counter of the Now York house. It is understood that this is yet another testimonial left his employers by the brilliant and pious Allen- <. Jones of of his genius, gratitude and kindly remem brance.” Tub State ok alleghant.—Mention has been mads by many papers in Geor gia of a project to carve anew State out of the Westorn Carolina*, East Tennessee and North Georgia with headquarters at Knoxville. The Anderson Intelligencer declares the story sensational "It lisa evidently arisen from the fact that the Legislature of South Carolina, on the Bth day of January. 1872. authorized the appointment of three commissioners to meet a similar commission on the part of Georgia, for there adjustment of the boun dary line between the two States, because under tiie treaty of 1787, ‘the citizens of South Carolina have no rights of fishing in the Savannah Biver. or using or draw ing off the waters of said river fur the pur pose of navigation or Manufacturing.' The Commissioners are empowered to arrange aud finally to determine the line between said States, and their action is to lie binding upon South Carolina. This is the giat and purport ef the joint resolu tion, which scetus to have uwakened such general interest among the newspapers at this late day, and which has never been carried out, as the Commissioners from this State are not to be appointed until the Governor of Georgia indicates its willingness fur a re adjustment.” We have not a foot of North Georgia to spare for this or any other purpose. We want its citizens, its timber its coal, its minerals. A proposition of that kind would be voted down ntmine ctntradi ctnte. That would kill it, for the Consti tution declares that no State ef this Union shall bo divided without Its free will and consent. -• Thk professional card of Mr. Charles de Beruff, the well kuown artist and geni al gentleman, appears in the local colums of the Entkrtrisb this evening. He has removed his studio to the suit of rooms in Mulbery'etroet,opposite the Lanier House, where he will continue to devote himself to his profession. Mr. do Beruff is too well known, by his long residence in Macon, and hi* character aa an artist, to require any commendation. Although beginning to exhibit the frosts that precede the win ter of life, his hand is yet guided by an eye uudimmed, and a taste of inspection. Death of llisnor Mcllvaih. —The death of this great light in the Methodist Church, which took place at Horcna, Italy, yesterday, though not unexpected, will be received with regret by the world at large, aud by the membership of his church more especially. lie full not in the battle's shock, but like a great tree in the stillness of the forest. Mix an Juries. —When Judge Erskiue •pened the Federal court at Atlanta on Thursday, there werefive or six negroes in the Jury box. To this Gen.Gartrcll and Ben Hill objected, each making two or three hours’ speeches upou tho point raised. A. T. Akerman took the other side. The Judge will decide tho matter on Monday. -- —*■ A little baby was left with a Columbus lady by * strange woman a day or two ago. The mother evidently forgot it, as ahe hasn't called since. A gentleman in Greensboro lias success fully raised Cranberries on his farm near that place. A little negro child was burned to death in Savannah on Thursday. A Hawkiusville planter is advertising for white farm hands. Nashville is threatened witli anew pa per by Sam Bard. - ♦ Advertising.—'To advertise is to re miud your.fellowlcitircna of your existence fact they are not under any special obliga-1 lion to remember, from the mere fact of having eeen your signboard. Unenterpris ing and dull people are apt to fall into ob ecurity. If a man can make business he can unmake It. He will be pretty sura to do it, if he fails to use the strongest aid in bis reach—the local paper. Hide your self in your shop, and your business will hide with yon. Tint Merriwbather Springs.— We are glad to know that there is a pesibiiilY of this excellent watering place going into the hands of a company who purpose, if the purchase is consummated, expending a largo amount of money in its improve ment. The owner Mr. Mustain, only asks fifteen thousand dollars, but the proposition had not been accepted the last we heard from it. This has always been a favorite with those Macouians who could afford te spend a week or so In the cool mubrageous iliadcs of the country with nothing to do but read newspapers and drink cocklials.
