I'nlverslty Improvements.
We learn wilh much pleasure that
Mr. Buckmans, of Augusta, has been
invited by the local board of ihe Uni
versity to come to Athens for the
purpose of making plans for improving
ihe campus. The local board last
year did a great deal toward iraprov-
and beautifying the grounds, and
e are glad to see that they don’t
propose to stop half way. If the
grounds are laid out in an ornamental
and tasty manner, it will be a great
benefit to the town as well as a last
ing benefit to the University. It will
give strangers a hatter idea of the
college, render it more attractive to
the students, and they will take pride
in keeping the grouuds unmolested.
It is also proposed to employ a man
whose duty shall be to attend to the
grounds and buildings, w.ho will live
on the campus. Anything that has a
tendency to help the University, we
are glad to see. It. certainly deserves
large pationage, with its efficient
chancellor and able corps of proffes-
sors, large library, and handsome
equipment in the scientific depart
ments.

have to move them from the laying

“Queen Esther.” ( - . - _ "
The qicond presentation of “ Queen
Esther ” was received by a full house.
The weather was not the best; but
that seemed to have no effVct on the
people. They went anyhow, and
were well repaid for going.
The entire presentation passed off
creditably to the manager and the
performers. Mr. Camp, as the King,
displayed his remarkable bass voice
to the best advantage. Queen E-tber
(Mrs. Brumby) with her sweet so
prano voice delighted the audience
and she appeared the very itnperson'
ation of royalty. Capt. John Hope
Hull acted the haughty Hainan to
pertection, and his singing was tine.
Among the ladies, Mrs. H. H.
Carlton, perhaps did the finest aetiug
ns Zeresb, and her singing was heart
ily applauded. The clear tenor voice
of Mr. W. H. Jones, as Mordccai,
was managed with fiue effect, both in
the solos and the choruses.
Nothing in the entire performance,
was prettier than the singing of Miss
Carrie Scudder, Mordeeai’s sisier.
Airs. Lamar Cobb as the Prophetess,
was received with applause, and her
singing was one of the gems ol the
evening. Mr. Sharp as the scribe,
Mr. Threlkeld as the chamberlain,
Mr. Jester as llarbonah, and Mr.
llodson as Hegai, all acted and sang
their parts excellent ly. Mr. James
Huggins Jr., looked a veritable and
venerable priest of the olden time
Zere3b’s attendant (Mrs. J. M. Hodg
son) was beautiful in her acting aad
singing. The maids of honor, guard*
attendants &c., were all well up in
their parts, and did their full share
towards the succ ess t)f the perform-

A Brilliant Wedding.
As many members of Athens socie
ty are aware, on Thursday, Mr
Welborn Hill, of Washington, Ga.,
was married to Miss Lucy Erwin, of
Atlanta. An Atlanta letter to the
Augusta News, written the day be
fore, has this to say about it:
Miss Lucy Cobb Erwin, daughter
of Mrs. Dr. John M. Johncon, is to
be married to-morrow afternoon at
St. Philip’s (Episcopal) Church, by
Right Rev. Bishop Beckwith, to Hon.
Welborn Hill, of Washington, san of
one of the wealthiest men of the state.
There are to be ten couples. Miss
Lou Casey, the charming blonde, of
Augusta, is to be first attendant. The
other lady attendants are Miss Birdie
Cobb, Miss Lollie Rutherford, Miss
Rosa Deloney, of Athens ; Miss Addie
Jackson, the beautiful daughter of
Chief Justice Jackson; Miss Susie
Scruggs, Miss Mabel Cummings, Miss
Carrie Westmoreland, Miss Bessie
Beckwith and Miss Florence Wood
daughter of Judge Wm. B. Wood, of
the U. S. Supreme Court.
“ The bride’s dress is of white satin
under skirt, with white satin brocade
over skirt, trimmed wilh handsome
bugle fringe. The flowers are lily of
the valley and orange blossoms com
bitied. The lady attendants are to
be dressed in white organdy; three

Clarke County Offleers.
We have before this referred to the
disposition of the people of Clarke
county to retain officials in position
after they have shown themselves
competent and faithful. This is illus
trated no less in the clerkship ot the
superior court than in the offices
heretofore referred to.
A brief statement of some facts in
connection with this office, may not
be uninteresting to our readers.
In 1801 Bedtord Brown was elect
ed clerk of the superior court Ten
years afterward he retired, and his
deputy, Sterling Elder, was elected
clerk of both the superior and inferior
courts.
Mr. Elder hold the office until lie
died iu 1825, and he was succeeded
by Robert Ligon, his deputy. Mr.
Ligon continued in the office until his
death; which occurred in 1837.
Following the fashion, his deputy
succeeded him. This deputy was no
other than our esteemed fellow-ciliz n,
Rev. John Calvin Johnson. Mr.
Johnson, daring his term of office was
probably the best known clerk in
Georgia. He was noted iar and wide
for bis efficiency as clerk and for the
elegance as well as the unique charac
ter of his cbirography. Mr. Johnson
was clerk of both courts unfit the infe
rior court was abolished in 1868. Then
he was clerk of the superior court
until 1873 when he retired.
His successor, Mr. John I. Huggins
still holds the office. Mr. Huggius is
thorough, competent and faithful, and
with the assistance ot his deputy,
Judge S. M. Herrington, the duties
of the office are performed with rare
and commendable efficiency. Every
thing is kept in apple-pie order, and
in a clerk’s office order is oertaialy the
first law. It would do you good to
take a look at the books. The style
in which they are kept is simply beau,
tiful.
Mr. Huggins is a candidate lor re-
election, and it is supposed he will
have no opposition. He will probably
hold the office as long as he discharges
its datiea as well as he has done here
tofore.

Rappahainock. The bauds of one

Yankee Doodle ; and then both united
on “ Home, sweet home.”
At the proper time, she waved the
Confederate and Federal flags, and
with assistance sang parts of the
songs named above. It was so appro
priate, and unexpected that the audit
ence could not but be affected.
■The exercises were concluded by
an address from Prof. W. E. Rey
nolds, of Union Point, on the subject
of “ Duty.” Taking as a text that
memorable sentence of Robert Lee—
“ Duty is the sublimest word in. our
language”—he made a brief addresT
in which practical and useful ideas
were happily blended with scholarly
elegance and research. It was an ex.
cellent address, attentively heard, and
calculated to do much good.
Thus closed a very pleasant enter
tainment, which was enjoyed by all.

Lost by Not Advertising.
A gentleman sold his house in this
place at private sale. Shortly after
wards he came into our office and
said: * I have lost 8200 by not adver
tising my place for sale in your paper.’
* How is that ?’ * Why, a citizen said
he had been wanting that place for a
long time, and it he had known it had
been for sale, he would have given
me $200 more for it than I received.’
So much lor not advertising.— Mari
etta Journal.
We can see that and go a little bet
ter. A gentleman of our town sold a
place for $1,200, without advertising
it, immediately afterward a gentleman,
came and told him he wanted the
place, but had no idea it was for sale,
and would give $1,500 for it, and $25
to the gentleman to secure it for that
price. The new owner of the place,
however, wanted $2,COO for it. So at
least $250 was lost by not advertising
to the amount of three or four dollars.

troubled for several .months with
Bronchitis, and during that time, tried
nearly every thing imaginable, with
out ths slightest benefit. A friend ot
hers to whom I mentioned it, told
me to get a bottle of Brewer’s Lung
Restorer, which I did and less than
one bottle cured her entirely. I will
recommend (t to all who are similarly
affected,
Yours Very Truly,
- Nathan C. Munroe.
Macon, Ga., March 1st, 1880.—
Messrs. Lamar, Rankin & Lamar,
Dear Sirs:—I had frequent hemor
rhage before using your Consumptive
Cure, and had been treated by Dr.
Crowell Johnson and other skilled
physicians without being relieved, and
after using three bottles of your
Brewer’s Lung Restorer, the hemor
rhage was stopped, and I have never
bad one since. I am now in better
health than before, and feel it my
duty to state to the public the effects
of your wonderful Consumptive cure
on me. Yours Truly,
Mrs. E. G. Avant.
T aylor County.—This is to certify
that I had Asthma for thirty-five
years and used a great many different
kinds of medicines. Was treated by
Dr. Holton five years without finding
relief. I then used your Brewer’s
Lung Restorer and found in it a per
manent cure.
Very Truly Yours, ,

Mr. L. Shoenfeld— Dear Sir: I
take pleasure in stating that I have
used your Medicated Stock Feed both
on horses and cattle, and with great
success, especially on a very poor cow,
which 1 bought at auction. She gives
now over two gallons of milk, with a
good prospect of increasing. Not-
withst nding the prejudice I enter
tained for other powders that I had
tried, and which proved worthless, I
do not hesitate to endorse your inven
tion as being all you claim for it.

The Prtntert Devil.
Some of our readers may have
wondered what is the origin of the
term “ printer’s devil,” which is in
such common use. We find the fol
lowing given as the origin :
When Aldas Manutius set up in
business a a printer in Venice, bo
came into possession of a little negro
boy. This boy was soon known all
over the city as “ the little black
devil,” tor at that time, negroes were
not often seen iu Venice,* and some
of the most ignorant people believed
him to be either an embodiment or
emissary of Satan, who aided
Aldas in the work of his profession.
One day Manutins, desiring to dispel
ihisStHngft-and- spreading_ppimon,
displayed the young imp publicly to
the poorer classes, making this short
but characteristic speech, “be it
known to yon and all Venice, that I,
Aldus Manutius, printed to the holy
church and the Doge have this day
made exposure to all of the printer’s
“ devil.” And if any think he is not
like us, flesh aud blood, they may
come and pinch him, and tlusy will
find that though he is black he is
human.’’ ■ i - - ’
L. C. Carter is re-elected mayor of
Belton, with R. F. Quillain, A. J,
Voyles, and J. R. Simmons, as aider-
men. One more alderman is to be
elected from some “ tied” candidates.
Little Nannie Vaughn was burned
“^death in Gamesville, Friday even
ing. Her doilies caught from an oven,
on which were coals and burning
wood, and in which bread was baking.
In Walton county. Rev. J. W.
Burson aud Miss Sarah E Jackson

and Miss E. J. Kilgore. Also Mr.
A1 Jackson (of Oconee) and Miss

Daniel Alexander, of Habersham
county, died last Thursday. He had
walked out to the wood-pile and
taken up the axe to chop wood, and
tell to the ground and expired in
stantly. He was in his 85th year.
J. H. Murphy, of Franklin county,
raised by his own labor, during the
present year, ten bales of cotton of
good average weights. Mr. Murphy
is quite a young man and has no one
to rid him in the farm, and hired no
help during the year.
The Jefferson News says, an idle
rumor is afloat in Clarkeshoro’ dis
trict to the effect that John B. Arthur
was seen in Jefferson during Court
week, and announced that he would
appear again. We hardly think
there is an atom of truth in the above,

The Cleveland Advertiser has this :
There are more wagons loaded with
produce pass through Cleveland than
any np country town in the State of
Georgia. After pasting through, some
go to one market and some another.
A fail road from Lula to Cleveland
would stop the last one ol these wag
ohs, and Cleveland wonld be one of
the best trading towns in Georgia.
We are reliably informed, that alt we
have to do in order to get the road ia
to do the grading, and the people of
Athens will finish the work aud supply
it with the necessary equipments at
onee, and that rather than be counted
nice, they will assist in the grading.
So yon see Utat.it .is not necessary for
