*‘Tlie Wrong Box ••
On last Tuesday a man bailing from wi
know not where, soon attracted a crowd
in the struct fronting l>r Greene
olfiiing “a genuine two dollar bill for
one dollar and seventy-five cents,” it was
bought, then the 81.75 offered for $1.00,
and soon. It being disposed of he then
introduced his business, which was found
by a few to very unprofitable, it was tn
this wise: He placed in one box $10 and
in another f 1, lie then sold you a heavy
brass necklace and ring for $8 with the
pri7ilege of taking your choice of the
money boxes, if you happened to get the
box with ten dollars yow were the gainer,
but if you got Hold of the one dollar
box, as is most generally the case, you
were tbo loser. * Some few bought their
experience, paid rather dear too, but we
hope this losing may serve as a blessing
for their future investments. Hereafter
in noticing swindles remember the "gen
uine two dollar bill for only ono dollar
aud seventy-five cents.”

The Revenue.
One morning last week a whole regiment
of 'armed cavalry,’ It seemed, had as
suddenly dropped in upon us as a mos
quito will light upon your nose, and be
gan to draw quite a crowd of inquiring
persons about them. This “ armed cav
alry” howevor turnei out to he a goodly
number, some 15 or 18, of tbe revenue
department. It was acsertained from
them that they wore on a raid through
thin nnd the counties above on seurcli of
illicit distilleries. On their route to
this place they had overtaken nnd cap
tured u Mr. Brown, of Brutow county,
who lias for sometime been hhoriug un
der tlie wrong Idea and unlawfully ped
dling over the counties, in a closely box
ed buggy, *‘giu-tools,” ns he called it,
but which was afterwards found to be
more familiarly known as “blockade
wliisjcey.” He was taken care of by our
jailer until they were prepared to depart
for—we know not where, but they are
gone.

Thanks
Below we give a few letters showing
how the Advance is welcomed abroad
wo might add more but deem it altogether
unnecessary.
From Dr. A. Reynolds, Jr., the wide
awake Marietta dentist, we have received
the following card:
“Dear Ben : The Cherokee Advance
No. 1 received, and, indeed, I think It
JVo. one- Quite a good llttlo paper, sir.
I consider the reading matter column
headed “Etiquette of Conversion” well
worth the price ot subscription. May
you(r) Advanci live long and prosper."
Another from Marietta, says:
“Wo received the first number of the
Cheroeeb Advance, aie well pleased
with it; enclosed please find one dollar,
for one years subscription. Many good
wishes for the future prosperity of tbe
Advance. Q. W.”
The Atlanta Constitution recognizes
the receipt of the Advance, but does not
exchange, in this wise :
“We bavo received tbe Cherokee Ad*
vance, a new weekly started at Cauton,
by Mr. Ben. F. Perry.”
From tbe Marietta Journal we clip
tbe following t
“The Cherokee Advance comes to us
from Canton, edited and published by our
former townsman, Ben. F. Peiry. He
starts out with a modest but creditable
sheet, aud if the people of that county
will sustain him, he will give them a
paper worthy of their enterprise, indus
try and progress. Success to the Ad
vance is our sincere wish.”
Thd first papers to extend the usual
courtesies were the Marietta Journal,
Atlanta Daily Post and Dawsonville'
Chronicle. We are very thankful for
them and shall be pleased to get them
regularly.
Larcoury after Trust,
We learn that on Friday morning last
a Mr. Hoard borrowed of Hon. W. B. 0.
Pucket two fine mules and a wagon for
tbe purpose of going to Fair Play after a
portion of household goods belonging to
him (Hoard), ho having hired tor the
year to Maj. Pucket. On getting to Fair
Play he sold the wagon and harness to
Dr. Sewell for $15, and left one mule
stating that the revenue officers were after
kirn and another man nnd that the owner
of the mule was shot by them but would
be after tbe mule that night. He then
got on the other mule and started toward
Wolf Pen, in Bartow county, and here
we leave him, not knowing whether he
was overtaken by Maj. Pucket and his
posse of men or not. Later we leatn
they have returned without their man.
Our^HoteL
Mr. Wells B. Whitmore, formerly ot
Marietta, but more recently of Gaines
ville, has taken charge of the McAfee
House, Mr. McAfee having moved to the
house vacated by Mr. Styles. In leaving

timable lady know exactly how to man*

The LaGrango Reporter is 86 years
old, and on beginning its 87ih volume
it comes out double its former size. May
it live to see another 36th volume.
The Columbus Enquirer says that Mr.
W. 0. Raoul, Superintendent of the
Southwestern Railfoad. has purchased &
velocipede constructed to run on railroad
tracks, and is uow testing the practica
bility of its being used by. supervisors
inspecting the road instead of the ciank
now in use. They aro constructed simi
lar to the ordinary velocipede, except
two of the wheels run on one side and
what is called tbe guide wheel is on the
rear instead of the front. They weigh
seventy-five to one hundred pounds, and
can be handled by one man and put
on and off the track with ease. They
cost about forty dollars, carry one man.
and are capable sf being forced up to a -
high rate of speed. It is anticipated
that it will save the expense of two hands
who work the ordinary crank nbw used.
