—T>r T, It, Davis & Go. have just
received a lot of geuuino brier-root
pipes.
—Another beef-shop has thrown its
canvass to the breeze. ’Tis kept by
Mr. L. DuBignon. .Band his adver
tisement in this issue, and give him
n call to-morrow morning.
—The “plug” having been knocked
•out, there seems now no difficulty in
’ having abundant showers. Look well
to your fall gardens.
—We have been run to death, al
most. this week with job work—that
is, h inting for it. Come, good folks,
-don’t starve us out.
—Don’t forget to attend the Bap
tist Supper next Friday night, at
Marlin’s Hall.
—Messrs. L. D. Hoyt & Co. have
moved iuto their new store on New
castle si. The general arrangement
of things within reflects great credit
upon the taste of these gentlemen.
We fell into good hands last week
on Bay street. We ate and we drank
(nothing strong) and we smoked; all
free, too. Who wouldn’t be an ed-
tor?
, —Our young| friends, Tom and
Jim O’connor, are putting on a two-
story addition to their store on the
Bay. They don’t intend to be put in
the background, sure. Give them a
“lift," friends.
—Mr. Wm, Doerflinger has put up
at his show-window a novel and at
tractive sign —a skeleton clock, keep
ing perfect time. The workm in-diip
is indeed fine and reflects great credit
on Mr. D.
—The steamers Huntsville and
Montgomery, having had all ^neces
sary work done to them, are (now per
manently on the line for the winter.
One of these staunch vessels will here
after leave our port rogul ivly on
Thursday of every weds for Now
York. The Moutgomety, Captain
Faircloth, leaves this week.
—Bob Christopher, the colored
smith, informs as tbit he bis never
wanted work since he give ns jjuU
advertisement. Gentlemen who nev
er gave him work before now send
their horses to him to be shod. Of
course they do. Every body reads
the Advertiser, and when it says a
fellow is all right they patronize him.
—We loam that arrangements are
now being made to secure “through-
hills of lading’’ to English ports from
this city—either direct, or fvia New
York. This is indeed a good step.
We hope oar merchants and thoso of
the interior will patronize this move
ment and make it a success. We will
give fuller details us opportunity pre
sents.

Drink.
- We were shocked o few days' since'
to hear a gentleman say that it cost
the average drinker alnut $3n day
for his “drinksand treats," nnd' that
he would think it safe to say that 830
per day was a fair averag; of n mount
of cash taken in by a first-class bar*
room, and that some days it would
run to *?iw, p )w,oio that
such au amount of money i« waste !
daily in our midst—yen, worse than
wasted? For are not our young men
acquiring habits of dissipttion, that
can only lead to shame? The evil < is
enormous, where is the good? We *
call on all good citizens, of every
class and condition, to unite in devis
ing some plan to check this groat evil.
Yes, we call upon all, saloon-keepers
as well as others, (for do not they see
the evil, too?) to take steps looking to
the abolishment of the trafio in our
midst. Other places by a popular
vote have done it. Why cannot we?
You who deal in the article,
(for are you not^good citizens?) sup
pose you lead the van, and thus im
mortalize your names? Come, what
say? Here is a chance for good, em
brace it.

That Investment
$2,000,000
Some folks think we tripped up" on
that statement made by us in last
issue, concerning the miUin.; interests
of Messrs. Dodge & Co. in our midst,
W! did trip up on one word—yirinity.
’W; shouldj have sail sexton. The
balance of the statement is correct.
So Mi-. Dodge savs, and he »>*i« i.teio
know. -
Reader, our space is too limited to
be correcting, in one issue, erroneous
statements in former issn »s, so wo try
to get it right the first time. When
we tell you, for a fact, that Dodge &
Co. will have invested in our suction
$2,000,000 in the mill business, at an
early day, just enter it down in your
book and go on.
That lien.
Yes, just as we thoughi, the wh o e
town is in a stir over that hen of Mr.
Gignilliat’s that laid so ninny eggs
and "never clucked once." One man
says “He" (Mr. G.) “might have giv
en me credit for raising that hen. I
have the only gen nine Brahmas i n
town. Its mother has been laying tl e
same way for two years, and never
h»s clucked in that lime." “Bah!,"
says another, “it can’t be a Brahma,
it must be a grade." The women
folks ail unite in saying “Put if they
ever do take u notion to ’set’ yo'« are
obliged to half lull them before you
can make them quit it." And so they
have it. Now we have $ “Domi-
nicker” that is similarly peculiar—
only just the other way. She never
lays, and is always clucking. She
has just finished a “setting" spell of
six weeks on a blown duok egg, and
never found out her mistake until
she became so mud with it because it
.vouldu’t hatch that she picked it to
pieces, when she discovered to her
horror that it was only a shell! We
will sell her for $9, CASH.
Killed by Lightning.
Saturday night, 10 o’clock.—Solilo
quy.—“Well, I guess Moore or Peters
has got ‘them fellers.’ Four men
promised me faithfully, upon their
honor as gentlemen, that, if (Hive,
they would be around to my shop
to-night, and pay me some money.
They have not oome. Poor fellowB|
Ayonder how the undertakers are go
ing to get their money!
Yesterday afternoon, as a thunder
storm was coming up, Mr. John Caf-
fin and Mr. Tinker were passing down
Monk st. Just as they arrived oppo
site the Catholic Church they were
both felled to the ground by an elec
tric discharge from the cloud over
head. The lightning appeared to
have struck a large oak across the
street, first, and then glancing over,
vented its fury ou another just where
the gentlemen were. Then leaving
these, sought its bring prey. Mr.
Cabin was killed instantly, but Mr.
Tinker, though severely shocked, is
recovering. Several other parties,
standing near, were stunned more or
less by the stroke. Another tree was
struck a few moments later in Capt.
Dure’s yard, throwing splinters sev
eral inches long into the house.
The above calamity, we believe, is
sent as a warning to ns alL Heed it.

Mir, Eaitor:
There lias been a great deal
written and said about this section
of Georgia, almost to the extent seem
ingly of exhausting the subject.
Many of the articles recently writ
ten have been overdrawn. There are
a lew features up here, which, if Bar-
num had in his Museum, would make
quite a valuable accession thereto, but
w'liich would strip and drain this coun
try of every vestage of interest.
These features ore Toccoa and
Tallulah falls; Yaudevvcr, the
pioneer settle?, ninety-eight years
old; his mule whose name is “The
Devil and Tom Walker;" and the
favorite expression of the primitives,
V|You-uns must come to see we-uns.”
These are the only dots we can find,
■ xcept the Yonah mountain, which
(tits like a black terrapin in the beau
tiful valley of Nacoochee, which
>would also great iy add to the interest
ist the Museum. We will write you
•a.few more dots when we find them.
It reminds ns of drinking a great
deal of water to get a little coffee,
which, Mr. Editor,—if you have ever
experienced in your various rounds—
leaves a man rather puffed and dis
tended without muoh zest and stamina.
This is a very rolling au J beautiful
country, and indeed so rolling that
the stones have not gatheroJ any
moss.
Tell those seeking a mountain home
for agricultural purposes to bring a
soil with them and money enough to
leave on when they get tired of the
country. More anon.

Jffr. Editor,
* Dear Sir:
This postscript is to fill out the
sheet. The last big wind that .we
had, which in polite language is call
ed the oyclops, lifted the (tower from
^Mount Airy, in Habersham, and set
it over in Banks. This tower was
very high, and when a man went up
there he could 6ee the other side of
his raising. More anon, agayi. ,
