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.

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.

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 lo'be trimmed in blue, three in pink, and three in crimson. The gentlemen aljpndants are Hon. O. A. Bacon, Speaker of the Georgia Houseof Rep resentatives, Mr. Buchman, of New ban, Mr. Eggleston, Hon. W. P. Mel drim, Mr. Martin Mr. Hill, Mr. Howell ^.Gkton, Mr. John Whitner ami.Mr. Joe Thompson, Jr. After the mar riage at the church they are to be whied and dined at the residence of or two of the minor items, we it be so unreasonable as to grumbleH Mm Dr. Johnson, on Marietta street. not 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. encamped on opposite sides of the Rappahainock. The bauds of one played Dixie aud those of the other 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. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is particu larly recommended for children. It cures Coughs, Colds, Croup, Sore 3'broa^.AiUS Whooping- Cough. Is pleasant to the taste and acts like a charm. Price 25 cents. A Card of Thanks. Mr. Editor:—Please allow me space in your columns to return thanks in behalf of Hope Fire company to the ladies and gentlemen, little girls and boys, who took part, or aided in the performance of “ Esther, the beau tiful Queen,” Thursday evening last as a part benefit for my company. We feel grateful for the material aid thus rendered, and trust to prove our ap preciation of the favor by an ever taithfdl performance of our duties firemen. Respectfully, Goodlob H. Yancey, Captain 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. —Oriffin Sun. Rev. Mr. Wadsworth, with bis family, will reach Athens next Friday afternoon on the Georgia train. welcome is always given me, and T turn homeward feeling that the Lord has many hidden ones there, though of various names and denominations.

We have succeeded in getting a small, neat, building partly up, but more fuuds ire sadly needed to complete it. Pardon me, that was just a little slip of the tongue. I didn’t intend “ begging,’’ and don’t wish your readers to think I am doing so; not even those of them, (and I trust there are many such) who from what the Lord has given them delight to build houses for His worship. Large draughts have been made on -thc.n°c Jc of Dablonega to rebuild their college, vet they have contrib uted most liheri'Iy to onr little church. In addition io the Dahlonega field, I will mention other rides and other labors, hoping thus to get a place in the hearts and prayers of the good people here, both tor me and roy work. After leaving the mountains I turn homeward. On reaching there rest two or three days, as circum stances will permit, and then start forth to visit and minister unto anoth er small flock some thirty miles dis tant. After a few days labor with them, seek a brief reason, for seeing to the wants of my own household, and again go forth to work and preach for the third little band of God’s chiK dren over thirty miles from me in another direction. Aft this journeying must be U^eu in my buggy, beca a “ wee bit” of a salary, this year, not amounting to four hundred dol lars, will not admit of my often mounting the railroad horse, and though sometimes, as of late, incessant rains, severe cold 3nd frozen roads, cause an appointment to be missed; still these long, qniet rides give time tor thought, study and many oppor tunities for good which would other wise be lost.

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.

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.
