The Chicken Disputes.
The matches terminated yesterday at
the Fair Ground, by the Georgia
chickens winning thirteen out of the
sixteen battles. It is said Charley
Brown and his party from Macon won
nearly 85,000 on the result.
The Port Royal Excursion.
We received the following telegram
yesterday:
Port Royal, S. C. t Dec. 22d, 1875.
City Editor Constitutionalist :
The party arrived here safely, and are
having a nice time. They have now gone
to the fleet. R. G. Fleming,
Superintendent.
Recorder’s Court.
Three colored women were before the
court yesterday, for indulging in a
general scrimmage. Their names were
Ellen Simpson, Martha Ilewitt and
Jane Miller, and they were each fined
82.50. Frank Jeans was fined 82.50
for drunkenness.
Personal.
Eeau Campbell, the general passen
ger agent of the Montgomery and
Eufaula Railroad, and now a resident
of Montgomery, Ala., dropped in on us
yesterday. Mr. Campbell was one of
the most sprightly writers on the de
funct Atlanta News. His experience as
a railroad man ha reports as much
more pleasant than hunting for news,
A Card.
We take pleasure in publishing the
following card of Bev. H. J. Adams,
the late Pastor of St. James M. E.
Church, as a tribute well deserved by
officers of the Georgia Railroad :
A railroad may be “ a soulless corpora
tion,” but it is quite impossible for the
Georgia Railroad to be so while it is repre
sented by Col. S. K. Johnson. Gentleman
ly, kind, obliging, he deserves the popu
larity he lias with the traveling public.
The writer is under many obligations for
favors received while traveling with his
family upon the Georgia Railroad—not the
least of which is the use of a passenger car
in connection with the 10:45 freight train,
on last Thursday morning, whilst remov
ing from Augusta to Milledgeville, that
enabled us to avoid a most tedious deten
tion at Camak. H.J. Adams.
Milledgeville, December 21, 1875.
Give Seasonable Presents.
Give wisely as well as well as sea
sonably, is at least good advice. Emer
son advises present-givers to put as
much of themselves as possible into
their gifts, and this is being done in a
thousand pleasant ways by parents to
children and children to parents, among
blood relatives and dear friends, and
even among strangers. What is wrought
or made with one’s own hands, and all
that is the result of saving, ingenuity,
and taste, as well as all that is most
timely and needed, makes the gift and
the season doubly pleasant. Give of
your own handiwork, if you can. Give of
your own affection and taste, where it
is possible. To the sick, give appro
priately. Abundance to the rich is
sure to come, for to him that hath is
given, and to him that hath not is
taken away, even that which he hath—
and this is too true just now. To the
poor give of what they most need-as
food,’ and raiment, and shelter-some
thing to make them feel that the sea
son of Advent and Christmas and the
New Year is not all a time ot clouds
and darkness. Tl. is two days before
Christmas, and nine before New Year s,
and there is pleaty of time. im
proved, for thought and work, and for
making a wise choice.
CHRISTMAS.
Housewives are always busy at this
season laying iu Christmas supplies. If
they will look at the columns of the
Constitutionalist, they cannot fail to
see the advertisement of R. N. Hotoh
kiss, No. 143 Broad street, opposite the
Fountain/ who has a large stock of
fancy and staple groceries, fruits, etc.
Mr. Hotchkiss has made teas and cof
fees a specialty in his trade, hence the
adaptation of the title—“ China Tea
and Coffee Store.” An experienced and
practical tea-taster is regularly em
ployed by him, to select his teas in
leading markets, and, buying direct,
enables him to offer the lowest prices to
buyers. Besides teas, he sells a large
amount of coffee—green, roasted and
ground. He states that he has built up
quite a large business iu this line, and
now sells considerably more roasted
coffee than green—his customers, among
whom he numbers many prominent
personages in Augusta—seeming to
prefer it. He is also interested in the
manufacture of soaps, and sells large
quantities at remarkably low prices.
But it is of fireworks he now speaks
most of, having received a very large
stock night before last. His clerks
were up nearly all of Tuesday night,
opening, sorting and marking fire
crackers, from the smallest size to the
large cannon crackers, Roman candles,
rockets, mines, and many fancy fire
works with names so varied that we
cannot retain them iu our mind. The
juveniles, and children of larger growth,
too, are already making an admiring
examination of this stock, and invest
ing their spare change.
A curious arrangement iu the store is
a Chinese pagadon, representing a cas
tle with figures of Chinamen carrying
teas to his Majesty, the Emperor, and
below a circular table revolving iu an
opposite direction, upon which samples
of teas of various kinds are shown,
the whole worked by a clock-like ar
rangement. Situated in the centre of
the store is a pyramid of shelves, on
which sample bottles of fine liquors are
placed. This is a very convenient ar
rangement, the plan of which is origi
nal with Mr. H. It can be easily re
volved, and any kind of liquor brought
forward in a moment, thus obviating
the necessity of looking over various
shelves against the wall to find the
brand desired. Mr. H. should get a
patent for this arrangement.
Augusta can boast of having some of
the most complete dry goods houses iu
the State, and in fact in this section of
the South, and among the leading ones
is that of James A. Gray & Cos. The
building erected a few years since by
Mr. Gray, on Broad street below Mc-
Intosh, on the site formerly occupied
by two small stores, is an imposing
structure and an ornament to that
neighborhood. Within there is a splen
did full stock of seasonable goods of
all the latest styles to suit the fancy of
any one.
The firm has an extensive country
trade, jobbing as well as retail, in addi
tion to that of the city, and, selling
goods in large quantities, he can offer
prices and content himself with
small profits with cash paying custom
ers. A large force of polite, gentle
manly clerks are employed, and they
are always at hand to attend to the
wants of customers, who are present
iu large numbers on every fair day
during the season. His stock of arti
cles for Christmas presents is a most
complete one, and dealing as this
house does, in large quantities, they
can afford to mark their figures down.
Attached to this establishment Mr.
Gray has a bridal apartment—that is,
one where a complete bridal outfit for
a lady, in any style desired, can be
furnished at short notice. Mr. Gray
has long been a successful business
man and leading citizen of Augusta,
and it is a source of pleasure to his
numerous friends to know that he is
now, as in the past, surmounting every
obstacle he meets on the road of
prosperity, and knows no such word as
fail iu his vocabulary.
Passing the stationery store of E. H.
Pughe, on Jackson street, we were
somewhat surprised to see what a large
line of flue goods he has provided for
his holiday trade. His supply of
dance programmes is a splendid one,
and they run as high in price as two
dollars a piece ; these high priced ones
are marvels of beauty. Of French and
English monogram paper, no stationer
in this part of the South can show a
better assortment than Mr. Pughe, of
choice qualities. No more suitable
present can be made than gold pens,
and as this establishment holds the
Augusta agency of John Foley’s cele
brated pens, it offers special advan
tages to purchasers. There is also in
stock, in great variety, fine pocket
books, gold pencils, fancy writing inks,
and other articles which would be suit
able for useful presents. Mr. Pughe
has an established reputation for fur
nishing the best quality of copying
inks, writing fluid, bankers’ wax, steel
pens, memorandum books, and all ar
ticles found in a first-class stationery
store. Give him a call.
Visit of Cotton Manufacturers.
The President and Directors of the
Atlanta Cotton Mills have been in Au
gusta with a view of visitiDg the Au
gusta factory to obtain information re
lative to the manufacture of cotton
goods. They went also to Langley and
Granitevilie. The new mills of the
Atlanta Company are 236x72 feet; the
main building will be five stories high,
with a sub-basement. There will be an
“L,” in which will be located the steam
engine and picking and pressing de
partment. There will be 20,000 spindles
and 500 looms, for the manufacture o f
a class of cotton goods much finer than
any made at preseut in the South. —
These mills will, It is expected, be in
operation during the Summer of 1876.
It is a little surprising that Atlanta
can furnish a capital of $300,000 to
operate a cotton mill run by steam,
when our capitalists fail to invest their
money here in the utilization of one of
the finest water powers in the country.

mother and thought ‘‘the ice would

MINOR LOCALS.
Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton left for
Charleston yesterday morning.
Cotton movements yesterday : 2,012
bales received ; 1,515 bales sold.
The auction houses were well at
tended last night.
There will be a meeting of Council
to-morrow night to consider the sub
jects of taxation and salaries.
The Irish Volunteers had their regu
lar monthly drill in uniform at their
hall last night.
The Aiken accommodation train will
not run on Christmas day (next Satur
day.)
The infantry teams who purpose
shooting for the prizes of the Richmond
Rifle Club on New Year’s Day-, must
look out for their laurels, as the ar
tillerymen have had considerable
private practice lately.
“Mad dog!” was the blood-curdling
cry that sounded aloug Ellis street
early yesterday morning, and the climb
ing qualities of some of the pedestri
ans would do credit to the first class
circus performers. And yet it was a
false alarm, caused by a sick dog whose
distemper caused him to froth at the
mouth.
The city of Cologne is said to have
about forty distinct unpleasant smells.
But we can rival it almost, judging by
the stenches too painfully apparent to
the olfactories of those passing by the
northeast corner of Jackson and Ellis
streets. If there be a dirtier drain or a
more offensive smell than that alluded
to, we don’t know it.
A Manly Apology.
A paragraph in the State news col
umn of the Savannah News, was con
strued by the city editor of this paper
to reflect unkindly ou the late Charles
Dawson Tilley, and it brought out a
sharp rebuke. The gentleman who
edits the State news department of the
Savannah News makes the amende in
the following language:
The remorseless critic of the Augusta
Constitutionalist characterizes a paragraph
that appeared in this column the other day
as the “quintessence of meanness.” The
editor evidently mistakes the moaning of
our paragraph, but his comment gives us
an opportunity to state that there was not
the remotest intention on our part to reflect
upon the unfortunate Tilley or upon the
almost as unfortunate Ratcliffe, but upon
the method which they chose to demand
and give satisfaction. This is so palpable
in the paragraph, however, that it is only
necessary to explain it for the satisfaction
or dissatisfaction of the Constitutionalist.
We are quite willing to let text and com
ment go together.
A Prosperous Railroad.
Under the above caption, the Nash
ville American, in a recent issue, speaks
in complimentary terms of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Rail
road, of which Col. E. W. Cole is Pres
ident. The many friends of Col. Cole
in Georgia will rejoice to hear of the
success, in these dull times, of the en
terprise under his control. The article
referred to is as follows :
Considering the dull times and stringency
in monetary affairs through which we have
passed, for the last eighteen months or two
years, it is encouraging to note the fact
that we have in Tennessee at least one suc
cessful railroad company. The Nashville,
Chattanooga and !3t. Louis Railway Com
pany has, by conservative, economical and
sound management, been enabled to pass
through this depression, meeting promptly
every manner of obligation, includ
ing interest n its bondel debt,
and paying to its stockholders, dur
ing all this time, uniform, regular
and reasonable dividends semi-annually, at
the same time maintaining its property iu
first-class order. The management now
propose, out of the ordinary expenses, to
replace the “T” rail which they have on
their lines with steel rails gradually, and
without increasing the bonded or floating
debt of the company, or interfering with
dividends. These remarks are suggested
by a notice in our monetary article yester
day, of the fact that the stock of this com
pany was being taken freely by New York
buyers, and well it may be taken, for the
management of the road and the financial
condition of the company are such as t nd
; to make it a favorite stock for permanent
investment, when the interest it pays in
dividends upon the market price of the
stock is considered. We are always glad to
note the prosperity of our home institu
tions.
A Just Complaint.
Mr. Editor : Many of your readers
would like to know for whose conveni
ence some of the railroads in this sec
tion of the country are run; certainly
not for those who are expected to pat
ronize them. For instance, the Char
lotte Road, while running a day train
from Columbia to Charlotte, runs none
from here to Columbia as formerly, so
that a resident of this city having an
hour’s business iu Columbia must take
two nights and one day to attend to it
unless it can be done at midnight.
Again, no one on the line of the road
between here and Columbia can take a
daily paper unless he is willing to wait
till night for it. And worse than all,
the Northern train leaving here at 4:15
p. m., makes no connection with any
train on the Georgia Railroad, so that
a passenger arriving from Atlanta to
night or to-morrow morning is obliged
to wait either twenty or eight hours
before he cau go to Columbia or any
point North. So much for the conve
nience of passengers.
As for mail facilities, I suppose Au
gusta must be content with one North
ern mail a day when every other city of
like size, within five hundred miles,
has two.
Piety of Italian Bandits. —ltalian
bandits are notoriously religious; a
work just published relates that a band
had vowed to eat no meat ou the day
they would make a good capture; they
were rewarded by seizing a rich local
proprietor; they kept their word; they
presented the captive with fowls and
ham, and dined themselves off bread
and cheese.
A girl with three arms is attracting

Wagner’s Minstrels Last N;ight.
A large audience—iu fact, a full house
— greeted Cal Wagner at this Opera
House last night, the occasion being a
benefit tendered by that prince of
Minstrels to the Cavalry Survivors’
Association of this city. We ieel war
ranted in saying that a finer Audience
than that present last night, (;al Wag
ner could not have in this sect|on. The
presence of such a large croi| r d was a
good indication of the esteem in which
this troupe is held iu Augifsta, and
knowing their performers arq always
popular here, the managers uudeavor,
upon every visit, to offer a Superior
entertainment. That of last night was,
if possible, superior to those presented
during previous seasons, and fully sus
tained the reputation of the f,loupe as
being first-class in its line of minstrelsy.
Happy Cal occupied his accustomed
place at one end of the line-4(the line
he will fight ou if it takes a|l winter
and summer, with spring and| autumn
thrown in for good measure). ijWith his
big drum he made music that would
not soothe a savage—judging from the
energy he displayed in beatiifg it, but
still it accorded well with the variations
performed by the band.
The ballads sung by Blanchard, Wag
ner, Hawkins, Lavake, Merrill and
Fisher, were, to say the least, splendid.
In fact the whole performane.was first
class and pleased every one //ho was
present. Minstrelsy has of late assumed
a higher grade iu tho line of amuse
ments, aud ladies now are as vouch in
terested aud amused in witnessing the
performances as tho male persuasion
formerly was alone. This was evi
denced last night by the large number
of ladies preseut, who greatly: enjoyed
the performance.
The Cavalry Survivors Association
have, by the liberality of Mr. Cal Wag
ner, received a benefit that wftl be last
ing to the organization, and cause
every member to wish him aud all the
members of the company god-speed in
all their every undertaking, i
The troupe will return to-Augusta
next Monday, when they will offer a
new programme. t
Prize Drill and Ball of Oglethorpe
Infantry, Company if.
The annual drill for the wbllte plume
of Oglethorpe Infantry, Cos. B, Captain
J. O. Clarke commanding, took place
last evening at Masonic Hail, where a
large number of spectators had con
gregated to witness the contest. The
company was drilled by Captain Ciarke,
Lieutenan^ Cohen and Lieutenant Har
rison. The judges were Lieutenant
Gary, of the Clinch Rifles ; Lieutenant
James W. May, of the Irish Volunteers,
aud Lieutenant W. I. Delph, of Ogle
thorpe Infantry, Cos. A.
After repeated trials the Company
was drilled down to six, then succes
sively to five, four, three and t wo, after
which, Sergeant W. B. Fitzsimmons re
maining, was announced as the winner
of the white plume.
The presentatiou of the pU.rne was
made by Lieutenant W. T. Gary to the
successful contestant, Sergeant Fitz
simmons.
Sometime since, it was and ecided to
offer a medal to the member of Com
pany B haviog the best cleaned gun,
and last night was decided, upon as the
best time to make the award. Three
members were selected by the judges—
viz : Chas. Oldham, Wm. Davidson and
Y. A. McFeely. The judges decided
that the gun of Mr. McFeely was the
best ones under the rules, and there
fore awarded him the medal. We un
derstand that the guns of these con
testants were bright and shining as a
mirror, but it seems Mr. McFeely had
the advantage of his competitors, and
th erefore took ofTthe prize.
The medal was presented to Mr. Mc-
Feely by Maj. W. T. Gary.
At the conclusion of the drill and in
spection, the ball was inaugurated, aud
the lady friends of the members, with
the many invited guests enjoyed them
selves until a late hour in dancing and
waltzing. The hour was quite early in
the morniDg when the company se
parated to go home.

A Health-Promoting Stimulant. —
Physicians, who certainly ought to be
the best judges of such matters, de
clare that wholesale stimulation is not
only desirable, but essential in many
instances. When the temporary good
effect of a sound stimulant is confirmed
and rendered permanent, as in the case
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, by the
action of tonic and alterative princi
ples combined with it, it becomes infi
nitely more efficacious as a renovant
of physical energy and a corrective of
those conditions of the body which
invite disease. The Bitters have re
ceived the emphatic sanction of midical
men who have observed the effect of
that popular stimulative cordial as a
remedy for weakness, nervousness,
dyspepsia, constipation, inactivity of
the liver, malarious fevers, and many
other disorders. Its basis is sound old
rye, the purest liquor known to com
merce, and itself possessing tonic
properties of no mean order.

Dr. Pierces Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are so compounded from con
centrated principles, extracted from
roots and herbs, as to combine in each
small granule, scarcely larger than a
mustard seed, as much cothartic power
as is contained in any larger pills for
sale in drug stores. They are not only
pleasant to take, but their operation is
easy —unattended with any griping
pain. They operate without producing
any constitutionai disturbance. Unlike
other cathartics, they do not render
the bowels costive after operation, but

Our Family Bread. —Truly the most
important adulterations to avoid are
those which are calculated to injure the
“staff of life,” our family bread. We
know that merchants who supply their
customers with pure articles like Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder and his
True Flavoring Extracts, retain better
patrons, have a larger trade, and make
more money, than those who buy and
recommend articles that are poor and
cheap. Besides, its a pleasure to have
articles that never fail to give satisfac
tion, and that can be used with safety.
Aside from its excellence, Dr. Price’s
Cream Baking Powder is one-third
stronger, two cans equal to three of
other kinds. dec2l-thusasu

Policies Upon All the Various
Plans of Insurance.
All Policies Non-Forfeitable—Strictly a
Home Company, with its capital and in
vestments at home.
ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE
RATES.
Low Premiums—Definite Con
tracts.
The Cot to t 5 States Life Insurance Com
pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting
the 'demand of the insuring public for low
rates, and contracts that can be under
stood by all, offers the
Endowment Life-Rate Policy,
With confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to commend it
to the favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects:
Ist. It provides for those dependent upon
us in the event of death.
2d. It provides for our old age in case
we attain a stipulated age.
The low rate of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most; Desirable Form of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as the usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
death if prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of tbo in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose.
To illustrate the difference between this
plan and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at, age 63, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rato
plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan :
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 i. It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontinued,, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount paid in
premiums.
sth. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and if paj ments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7tti. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win.”

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe." It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that h often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Header, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Kick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try', who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
