GOV. DAVIl) B. HILL. This'gentleman’s visit to Atlanta this week, and his prominence as a possible future president of the LAii- ted States, awakens much curiosity to know something of his history, which the News now lays before its readers. He was born near Elmira, N. Y., and his boyhood home was in a small house surrounded by a quater of an acre of land which his parents did not own, but which he bought for them when he began to fisc in the world. H\* father was a carpenter, and c .rned a modest li\ing erecting hous s and some' imes building boats His mother came of a good family and was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence. She was strict Methodist, plain in dress. without drapery or or trimmings of any kind ; the - only offset to her ?s.ober.garb.was] ’ * ‘ a plain r white neckerchief. She died ^ol cons sumption 1 . betore lierj son achieved military distinction. David was devo- , ted to ; his?mother, . and during . . her . • 7 - last illness rode 18 miles ....

She never married. One night she went to a party, took cold and died of consumption. Her death was a severe blow to David. Toward t ;e end of her life she made her fatti¬ er promise to kneel by her tody and pray. The old man kept his promise, and on the Sunday following her death, joined the church; he said his daughter had converted him and he would live the life of a Christian. The old gentleman died about a week before D ivid was inaugurated lieutenant governor, His neighbors said that the son’s > sud¬ nSe was too den for the old man. It first dazed him , and then killed him. At a meeting held to give him “a send off,” before he left Elmira for the inauguration, the governor made a 8 P ecc **> old man went to he » r H was tke first speech lie had heard David rnak*, and the neighbors say it was too much for him.

It is said of him that when he was studying law fn Elmira, lie Wou ^ Wfti k around a blocK to avoid ineet * n » a woruan °f l** 3 acqnain- tance. The neighbors gave him credit for inheriting his mother’s ins telligenee and his farther’s industry, These two characteristics are the chief influences that made him gov cruor of New York, and possibly will make him President of the United States. for nVsrcrsu Use Brows'i Iren Bittern.

Jim Moore says he don’t care if ,he Cornelia boys don’t want him to come np there; he is coming all-ee sam-ee, Shore. The News editor acknowledges the receipt of a ticket to the agricultu¬ ral fair at Gainesville, Ga. which takes place Nov. 5, G, 7 and 8th. We learn that E. Goode has pur- chased from Dr. Doyle 1G acres of land fronting on Mill street, and will soon commence the erection of a nice residence on it. II. M. Payne is making a market for farm products,particularly apples cabbages, potatoes, butter, poultry, eggs an 1 chestnuts. He is shipping large quantities toother points. A gentleman near Ilomer, Ga. has a stalk of cotton on which arc 525 bolls. Col. J. P. Fort, who spe ds his summers at Mt. Air)', offered £5 for this remarkable stalk with its many bolls. Mr. Lane w ishes all parties who desire instruction in garment cutting! to coine in very soon, as he shori!) | will be through and close the school, I ill then the office will be open I ri - days nd Saturdays of each week. i Mr. Jas. Mabry’ was on our streets this iveitk. Ho is 80 years old ami. does not enjoy good health. He fFels deeply ; the loss of his beloved wife, and to think his wife and children are all gone excites one’s deepest sympathies. D. J, Simpson got such a large stock of flour piled up in his store, that the floor began to sink,and threat- ened to overwhelm Capt. Ramsay in his office underneath. Mr. Simpson had to replace his flour where the beams and sleepers are strong. A. J. Whitlock had a fine lot? of fruit this season. His grape vines were very prolific. From 9 vines he had all the grapes his family could eat, gave away great quantities to his friends and neighbors, and made 52 gallons of excellent wine; this’ is a good yield from 9 vines. Orian Ryals, who lives near Avers- ville, brought to this office a stalk of long staple cotton about 8 feet high and has on it 170 bolls. Judging from this sample, this variety of cot¬ ton can be successfully raised in this region. He also brought two very fine (samples of sugar cane grown on his farm. The Colored Baptist Association at the 2 mile church was very largeli attended last Sabbath. A number of excellent sermons were preached which were frequently interrupted by such exclamations as the follow- ing from the audience: Dats so,— come down,-dats de trufe,—tain’t me,"y-a-s, -ain’t it so,--dats a preach- er in a storm,—dats de God’s trufe, —etc. etc. Mr. R. C. Moss, of Lrena, called at this office some days ago. He inform- ed us that the mail has to be carried through several offices in Banks co. before reaching IJrena, and thus it takes several days for the News to would 5 'C'ter arrange . 3 ”5» d [ “!r. ^ h n !‘. a a,n t’ "J**.'* °® CeS 1h mnkl,n Tr U “* and .

Stoneypher brought to thi- office a few days ago, one half of a musket ball foun3 in the heart of a pine tree about 17 inches in diameter. The tree was taken to a saw mill *° be sawetl mto plank, the saw cut the lead through the center. It is an old fashioned home made ball for a>us- ket or smooth bore rifle, such as our grand fathers used. By some means this ball was lodged in the pine sap- ling which has grown to a large tree enclosing the ball, a close prisoner all these years near its] heart. Anyone ian see the half left here by Mr. S., by calling at this office. The proprietors of Demorest, our Aew town in Habersham county,have issued a pamphlet, describing the lo¬ cation of the town and surrounding country, 1 and the many inducements for the people from the North to lie cofaio residents. The pumphleti* well gotten uj»; illustrated with b~oiuti ful views of Demorest, including t ! e late resilience of i)r.

The pampnlet contains valuable inforrna- tion about ih% climate, the healthful¬ ness, the soil and productions, and “>j utnerous p Q isons for Locating in Demorest.” The advantages for re- siding in this attractive place are equally as great for Southern people f or Northern, and they are many, Full information can be obtained by- addressing The Dmm u: ft Com , Mixing and Improvement Compa- Demorest, G„. They have also issued a map of the town as laid out in streets, lots, blocks and parks,giv¬ ing an accurate view of this future beautiful city.

This lady has a cow whic i, p 0Ilt0 thinks it is his especial duty to watch over o' and guard. When s1 ,„ „ 0(ii 0 j !tlt the fields or woods the dog accompanies her all day, and returns home with her at night. When a calf is with its mother be watches the calf with great faithfulness, goes with it wherever it goes, and when it lies down to rest or sleep, Ponto Hes down by its side. Some time ago the young bassie went off into the woods, was taken sick and ckeJ. Dur¬ ing iff? sickness the faithful Ponto watched over it, and'remained by the dead body for some time,until he was reduced almost to a skeleton for want of food: He still keeps a guardian attendance on the cow, goes away with her in the morning, and brings her back at night,when he will go in- to the house, frisk' around, wag his tail, brush up against members of the family, manifest much pleasure, as much as to say, “Ain’t you glad 1 brought the cow home all safe and well?’ -- Last week a report circulated on the streets and appeared in the News to the effect that Mrs. Clark Sexton had sworn out a warrant against J/rs- annie E.Denham,for assault with in- tent to murder, and thatMrs. Denham had sworn out a warrant againstMrs. S®*ton for selling whiskey.
