The Snaked Earth.
The ground lias not been dry since
the second of November. On the
evening <•: that day, the rains began
to fall, and they have kept falling so
repeatedly that the ground has not
had a chance to dry. Now and then
a fair day comes, and once there were
three or (our fair days, but not enough
to dry the water out of the earth’s
surface. Seventy-seven days make a
good-sized “ w et spell.’’

A Combination Plow.
Our old friend, Mr. Richard A.
Johnson, of Newnan, was in Athens
yesterday, selling a combination plow,
of which he is the inventor. We can
not describe this plow with sufficient
accuracy to give a good idea of it.
Suffice it to say that every farmer who
sees it, is greatly pleased with it. Mr.
Johnson was offered $10,000 by a well
known merchant of Athens, for a half
inlert st in this plow; but ns be has am
ple capital of bis own,he. would not sell.
All our farmerst eaders should exams
ine this plow. It is on sale at the
hardware stores.
Replenishing the Treasury.
Mayor Beusse had several cases be
fore him yesterday. Two boys, tor
figh'ing on the street, were fined each
$1.25 and costs. Two negro men
who tought on Saturday night were
fined—one 85, and costs and the other
$2.50 and costs. A young negro
man who disturbed religious worship,
was fined $10 and costs.
A white man who was summoned
to appear and answer to tho charge
of profanity on the street, in the pres
et ce of ladies, took leg bail, and got-
oat of the way. He will yet be caught,
and held to answer for his misdoings.

As indicating the extensive business
done by a paper mill and a printing
hou-te, we mention the following fact :
Rev. J. W. Bnrke, who is at the
head of the large printing house of J.
W, Burke & Co., of Macon, during
his recent visit to Athens settled bis
paper bill for last year, with the Pios
neer Paper Mills of Athens. He paid
them the snug little ot $6215. That
was a pretty good paper bill for one
year.
Not a great many years ago, Mr.
Burke was an apprentice in the Banner
office—a poor boy, whose parents
were poor, and who had nothing to
rely on except his own efforts and the
favor of that God in whom he has al
ways trusted. Now he is at the head
of one of the largest business houses
in the State. There is a lesson here
—and a big one—for boys.
HjKfl.
Tuesday evening a happy -company
of friends assembled in tho parlors of
the Clinard House, to witness a mar
riage. The high contracting parties
were Miss Virginia Blanobe Clinard,
the beautiful daughter of Capt. A. D.
Clinard, and Mr. Young H. Wynn.
Miss Blanche has been much admired
in her circle of friends, for her many
excellent qualities; aud Mr. Wynn is
well known in business circles, being
a member of the firm of Childs, Nick
erson & Co., one of the largest houses
of the kind in Georgia.
The ceremony was briefly hut im
pressivcly performed by Rev. John
Calvin Johnson. After a while spent
iu congratulations and pleasant con
versation, the gnests were invited to
supper. Capt. Clinard is noted for the
elegant and substantial fare which he
daily serves at his famous house; but
on this occasion he fairly eclipsed him
self. The like of it was never seen
there before.
The evening was spent pleasantly
add tho party broke up early, bidding
the newly wedded adieu with many
heartfelt wishes for ibeir happiness,
and prosperity. Many of the friends
of the parties left elegant and coetly
presents in testimony of their regard.
Altogether, it was a most happy occa
sion, and ono which will be long re
membered by all present. ' Tow.

Our department have been at their
post on every occasion when an alarm

done much good in saving our fellow
citizens’ projierty Irom the devouring
elements. We ought to feel very
grateful, for it seems that a kind
Providence has so far protected our
city from the flames. I have failed in
getting all the reports from the several
companies in time to send them in
witli this report. However, I am glad
to say that our department isjn better
condition than it has ever been before.
Perfect harmony and good feeling is
existing among all the companies.

to be proud of our department.
Oue thing we sadly need in our
department and I have called your
attention to it on several occasions,
and that is our limited water power.
Our cisterns are few and very small
not holding water enough.

to extend to you my sincere thanks
for the kindness shown me in my

sides of Thomas street, together with
all the lamps east, of said street. The
2nd section to consist of all the lamps
from Thomas to Lumpkin street, in
cluding all the lamps on both sides of
Lumpkin street. The 3rd section to
consist of all the lamps west of Lump
kin street.
We further recommend that a
lamplighter be elected for each sec
tion, and that the salary be fixed at
fifteen dollars per month, that the 1st
and 3rd sections be given to colored
men and the 2tid section to R K Prid-
geon, and that on acconnt ot the inju
ries received by Mr. Piidgeon while
discharging his duties as a fireman, he
be allowed fifty dollars per annum, in
dependent of his salary as lamplighter.

yours and a cough svrup I make. I
Have generally given them together

Enclosed you will find 50 cents.
Please send ine another package of

a happy result that I heartily recom

that a mother needs for a teething

nervous creatures—never sleeping
more than fifteen or twenty minutes
at a time. After giving the powder
it quieted his nerves, and now he
sleeps long naps. Please send as soon
as possible, and oblige.

tried your Star Curine on my leg. it
being affected with an old sore caused
by a wound received during the late
war. 'After having thoroughly tested
it I am compelled to say that it is a
success, for I have had experience
with different physicians and remedies,
and found nothing to enre me, until I
used your Star Curine, which has cur
ed a remarkably bad case. Wishing
you success, I am
Yonrs, respectfully,
John Bell.
Do not fail to call on your druggist
for a bottle of that pure, sweet and
delicious blood purifier, Sinitb’slScrof-
ula Syrup.
Star Curine cures all chronic Sores
and is a sure cure tor Piles.
Call on your druggist before it is
too late and get a bottle of Smith’s

When you notice cholera in your
hogs and chickens, give them Sboen-
average, and a circle of friends such as feld’s Stock Feed freely, and they
few can claim, and go into a distant

justifies the sacrifice, and furnishes
the heroism. They whom God leads
are sure to travel the right road.
A merchant down town sells more
of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup than all

must be the best remedy for a Cough.
Bees That Wont Sting.
The Egyptian bees, for which Mt..
John H. Newton has bought the state
agency, will not sting. There are
some bees which caunot sting. These
can but will not. They may cn ban
died at pleasure without being pro
voked to the stinging point. Mv.
Newton put their forbearance tp the
severest test we ever heard of. He
put a lot of them in his mouth, and
they staid there as quietly as if they
had been “put in their little bed.’’
Suob mild-mannered bees ought to be
very popular, and doubtless they will
be as soon as they become well
known. ,
Mr. Newton bought the state right
from Messrs. Gladstone, Oaks & Co.,
of Reidsville, N. C., who are the larg
est apiarians in the south, and whose
business was established in 1803.
These gentlemen claim that the Egyp
tian bees are larger, prettier and make
more honey than the oi dinary or the
Italian bee. They gather honey from
red clover. The hive in which M.‘.
Newton exhibits them is the finest wo
ever saw; it cost $115. Persons who
are interested in bee culture should
call on Mr. Newton and investigate
the merits of these bees.
’.iV.b.ii I i
will recover. It is best, however, to
cothraeuce the use of the Slock Feed
a little ahead of the cholera season,
which will prevent them from tailing
the disease.
Quitman, Ga., April 13, 1878.
For the benefit of all those who are
interested in raising fowls I take
pleasure in recommending Slioenfeld’s
Medicated Slock Feed. I had several
chickens with cholera, and by the use
of this wonderful article, given ac
cording to directions, all of them got
well, and arc now in a healthy condi
tion. Wm. Tennille.
