Prominent on the corner of Clayton Street and College Avenue stands the mammoth establishment of Talmadge, llodyson Co. It is three stories in height and occupies what was originally built for three stores, a con cert hall aud a number of offices. The three stores on the ground floor have been thrown into one. In the corner room is the retail depart* nient. Here is kept every article that is needed for provisioning a family. Every variety ol groceries—both staple aud fancy—is found here, sold in quantities to suit purchasers, and at the lowest possible prices. A large corps of clerks is on hand, to antici pate the wants of all customers aud they are kept busy handling the large quantities of tamily supplies which find their way out of the doors. A large delivery wagon is kept busy all the time carryiug the supplies to cus tomers in different parts of the city. Proceeding a little further, we find a department devoted to flour, sugar and coffee. If we were fo attempt to te.l what quantities of these articles there are piled up here, it would sound like an exaggeration. Tal madge, Hodgson & Co., do not buy by the car-load simply, but by the doz'-u car-loads. At ouo time they bad orders out for twenty-one car loads of flour. Up stairs they keep a big supply of staple dry-goods, Choi'S &c. From these they are constantly supplying the farmers of jKortbeaat Georgia, SEW YEAR’S DAY. member, that a kind word goes farther than a harsh oiip. New Year’s day should also be the day to examine ourselves, in a religi ous point of view. The beast, which pastures on the field, or is fed by the hand ol man, is not endowed with that blessed intellect to think of the great hereafter. It is man only who is so blessed and therefore, shall we not reason and reflect on that which concerns ns the most—the life beyond the grave ? Can sins be forgiven ? We have our serious doubt. Sins can be removed only, and atoned for, by sincere repentance and a multitude of good deeds. Then it is within the power of every one to be purified of their sins, through sincere repentance and through a multitude of good deeds, and every one, be he ever so poor’y educated, or so poor in means, has it within his power to repent, to do good, and thus the soul will re» turn pure to the great spirit, the giver of all that is good — The love of ma ikind is thine, Of which none will rob thee And God will lore thee. aud many of Their stock is demands of the always ready to any otf<er mer Iu the third supplies of the which they di tail and jobbii Set your hens in the evening if you have to move them from the laying nests.

Two Men Meet Their Death. (From Saturdays Constitution.)! Yesterday evening between 2 and Rev. (ieo. W. Vnl-linm-h. This gentleman left for his new home, Newnan, Friday morning. During tiis two years pastoral charge ot the first Methodist church in Ath ens, ho greatly endt-ared himself to all with whom he has come in contact As an elegant, affable, warm-hearted gentleman and as a faithful, earnest preacher of the gospel, he was alike popular, and we speak knowingly when we say that there are many heartfelt regrets in Athens at bis leav ing. The people of Newnan are fort' unule iu having him remove to their « ! 'y- Runaway. The fiery, untamed steed of Mr. Thomas Genus—the gray mure, which carries the mail to and Watkinsville— ran away Friday morning. It possible that she wanted to anticipate Christmas and have a little fun of her own ; but whatever was her motive, she made the quickest time that was ever made up college avenue. She ran into the buggy of Mr. Eliznr Newton, but she might a* well have undertaken to break down one of the pyramids. She passed it by, and went onward and upward. Result: shaft brokeD, harness broken, and one wheel broken. Christmas Hay. Christmas was an awful day in Athens. We did not come down town, but from ail that we can hear, thq drunkenness, brawling and noise were unprecedented. One informant says there was a general fight going on the whole length of the business part of Broad street. While this statement is proaldy exaggerated somewhat, yet it is true that there was a general fighting going ou, not only on Broad street, but on other streets in the business part ot the city. Il is said that there were forty- eight in the station-house at one time. We have no disposition to go into do tails. Suffice it to say the conduct on the streets was disgracetul. The municipal authorities of Athens owe it to the decent portion of the community, that such scenes should never be eDacled here again—eithet wholly or in part. It is no use to Bay such things cannot l>e prevented They can be prevented as well on oue day as on another. There is no more need of giving license to drunken men aud rowdies on Christ mas day. thau on any other day.

A Protest. Editor Daily Danner .—Every good citizen will protest against the re petition ofthe disgraceful scenes which were enacted on Christmas day. Such drunkenness, such continuous blasphe my and brawling, never seen here before, would have disgraced the vilest pothouses in the lowest slums of the country. Whose fault this is, I do not pretend to say, but that such a thing is possible, is much to the dis credit of the city authorities. If the police force cannot cope with a lot ot drunken rowdies, the'incoming coun cil should remove the exciting cause. There is an ordinance in force closing the barrooms and inhibiting the sale of liquor on election days; why not on Christmas and New Year’s days too ? The sole advantage in the present cus tom accrues to the pockets of some half-dozen saloon-keepers, while fines and bruises and wounds, and womeu’s tears and children’s wants fill the col umn on the other side. Shall the birth of the world’s Redeemer he cel- brated in such acts ? Shall each re turn of this day bring to the ears of our wives and daughters the yells aud oaths and foul expressions which even the sanctity of their homes cannot shut out ? I call upen the city council to add this amendment to their O'di- nance, that their skirts at least may be clear of the repetition of such an infamy. That body is leeponsible for what it can prevent, and it they retuse they put themselves upon record as endorsing the disturbances of Christ mas day, Citizen. The Japanese embassador to France is dead. Doubtless bis name is long enough to perpetuate hi* memory. their orders forre- Just to men tion two items, it tfaffid astonish you to see the extended rates of boxes of crackers and candies w^ich are stored away here. A' few days ago they had a carload ot fancy French candy in this room aud yesterday there were onlj a tew five-pound boxes left. They sold a thousand cocoa-nuts iu the past two days. A few steps further up the street, they have a warehouse in which are stored cotton, ties, hay, corn and syrup This addition to an already immense store-house gives them ample room for the transaction of one of the largest businesses ever carried on in Northeast Georgia. But time would fail us to tell, with anything like detail, of the particulars of this large business. Its origin is very interesting, and shows what pluck will do. In 1805, Messrs. C. G. and J. E. Talmadge, both boys under twenty, opened a store opposite to their present stand, without a dol lar of capital, and with no stock ex cept filly cents worth of rice, which their mother gavo them. They sold this right away, and increased their stock. Again they sold out, and again replenished, and in a short time they were bold enough to go to Mr. Rufus Reaves, and make application to buy what to them then was a big stock. Mr. Reaves sold them a bill amount ing to *216, on the condition that they should either pay him in thirty days or give back tbe goods. C * This bill was promptly met. Other persons bad seen the efforts the boys were making, and had become inter ested in them. On the recummenda> tion ot a friend, Mr. Bridges, a trav eler for George W. Williams & Co., of Charleston, offered to sell them, whatever they wanted. They made out a bill—sitting np nearly all night to do it—amounting to about 8600. The goods were received and sold, and thousands of dollars they spent with this house which had befriended them in their time cf need. In 1870 they took in as a partner, Mr. E. R. Hodgson; in 1873, they took in Mr. A. H. Hodgson, and thus the firm stands now. In *1874 they moved to their present quarters. They buy only from manutaclurers and importers. Thus from a most insignificant be ginning has grown oue ot the big gest businesses in Athens, and it is still growing. They own their store and warehouse, and each partner owns the house he lives in. With ample capital, abundance of enetgy, full of the buoyancy of youth—all being under thirty-five years of age— there is no telling to what height of success they will attain. his quarter twice before he decides to spend it— one who dreams not with his eyes open, but who works with fixed purpose. The New Year’s day should be the very day on which bachelors should decide to give up single blessedness and become double-blessed, by enter ing the holy shrine of matrimony ; for no man is complete unless he marries, and when he is married and happily mated, his best qualities are drawn out to his own great benefit and to that of humanity. It men wish to prosper, live happy, make their mark in the world, and not pass away like a shadow on the wall, let them seri> ously look around to find the right fsJfSon and marry, and thus fulfill the wise precept: “Marry and multiply.’’ A married life is the only true life to live. New Year’s day should be tbe day to make a last will and testament, es pecially if the estate is large, and when making our will it would not be amiss to remember these wise words: “ It is oot ray intention to leave to my children too much of an inheritance, for too much money only spoils them.’’ Let us leave them less money but more of a good example, and above all ool name; a good name is a for tune in itself. Remember also the public institutions liberally, and your name as benefactor will go down to posterity. The New Year’s day should also be the day on which the more favored, ifcT more fortunate, should remember, the leas favored of bis family, not to give them money, for that would de grade them; but to assist them direct ly and indirectly, so that they, too might get along better in this world ; and if they have so decided upon, let them remaiu firm to cany out their noble resolution, even if they re ceive no thanks, but ingratitude in return, they will have one great satis faction—that of having done their duty toward those, who possess a claim od them through family ties. New Year’s day should be the day on which the poor at large should be remembered, and appropriations be made tor the coming years, and as the year advances, not to decrease, but rather increase the benevolent gifts, thanking God, that we are able to give, that we are the givers, and not the suppliants- New Year's day should be the day for heads ot families, to review, calm ly, the past year, to see where and when mistakes were made, and to make a note of it, in order to avoid them in tbe futifre. If they know after mature reflection, that their children do not assooiate with the right company, to reason with them in time, ere it is too late, and re- 3 o’clock a collision occurred ten and a half miles from Atlauta on the At lanta and Charlotte Air-Line railway, between the inward bound passenger train, No. 48, and the outward bound through freight, No. 19, second sec tion, which resulted in the death of the engineer, Peter Keys, aud the colored fireman, Jim Collin*.

The passenger train was running about forty miles an hour and when the engine strurk the shock was terrible. The mail coach, which was just in the rear of the tender, was * telescoped’ by it. The baggage car was next to the mail coach, but the Miller platform saved all but the platform itself. Besides the injuries to these cars and the en gine, but little hurt was done the pas senger train. When the cause of the quick stop wns known, Captain Sims rushed to the engine where he found Keys dead under the side of the engine, and Col lins, the lower portion of whose body was buried under the debis, struggling for freedom. At once every available hand went to work with a will to extricate tho dead and dying, and alter quite an amount of labor their work was re warded, but the sight that met their eyes was indeed harrowing. Keys was horribly mutilated—bis left leg being torn to shreds and his face and body literally cooked and scalded. A stick of wood entered his abdomen and was driven into bis body, tearing it almost asunder. The bones of his leg were broken in pieces, the ends of which pertruded through the mutilat ed flesh, llis loot was almost detached from his leg and the sight made the stoutest turn witli shuddering from its contemplation.^ Over his loft eye was a terrible bruise and tho side of his face was badly mashed. There he lay, his full, handsome beard matted with the blood bruised from his body, which, but a moment before, was full of life and health. The fireman was also badly crushed but, strange to say, lived until just before the relief train left for Atlanta. His head and shoulders were not bruised or hurt but the rest of the poor fireman was crushed out of all sem blance to humauity. Eufaula. Ala., March 6, 187S. T Mr. L.
