Every wise observer knows, Every watchful gazer sees, Nothing grand or beautiful grows, • Savo bv gradual, slow degress ; Ye who toil with a purpose high, And fondly tlie gr .iul result await, Murmur not,' as the hoars go by, That the season is long, the harvest late. Dr. It. M. Hmllli. For sometime passed our esteemed fellow-citizen Dr R. M. Smith, has been suffering with a partial paralysis, which while it has greatly inconven ienced him, yet did not prevent his attendance upon his professional du ties. On last Thursday, while Dr. Smith was attending court at Jeffer- son, Jackson couuty, the paralysis affecting his tongue became complete, depriving him altogether of the power of sp « i-h. In other respects lie seemed not wor.-e than he had been for some- tin e Since his return home, and on Friday evening last, he had several severe convulsions, which are regarded by his physician as unfavorable indi cations. At this writing Dr. Smith is more comfortable, and together with his many warm and attached friends here and throughout the State, who are and will he greatly saddened at this intelligence, we hope for his speedy recovery and his complete restoration to his family, his friends and his profession to which he has devoted so many years a useful and most valuable service. —Spring fights are budding. —“ Tell that to the marines.’’ The race is not always to the Fleet. —It’s about time for the Athens Guards to brush up their guns —The weather was pleasant and balmy all the week. —Patience and industry arc sure of their reward. —What is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest, must always he becoming. —The flights of the human mind are not from enjoyment to enjoyment, but from hope to hope. —The seeds of repentance are sown in youth by pleasure, hut the harvest is reaped in age aud pain. —It is now admitted that Hank Doyle is the finest looking man in Atlanta. —Quite a number of our young men left for Atlanta Saturday morn ing. -Cousin Anna Maria Barnes was in the city last Tuesday. We were glad to learn that quite a number of good names were added to her large nbscription list. —Meekness and com tesy will al ways recommend the first address, but soon fall and nauseate, imip-s the)’ are a ssent 11 with inure sprightly qualities. It otten depends on a trifle, not more than the toss up of a penny, whether man should raise himself to riches and honor, or pine away in misery and want till he dies. —The good opinion of honest men, friends to freedom and well-wishers to mankind, where ever they may be born'or happen to reside, is the only kind of reputation a wise man would ever desire. —The new hotel at Oconee White Sulplnfr Springs, owned l»v Mr. Ferdinand Pfiinizy, of this city, will he finished in time for the summer season, aud will no doubt he the finest resort in North Georgia. —While in Atlanta, a few days ago, it was our pleasure to meet W. \V.

Warm hearted and generous, we know we speak the sentiments of his many friends, when we say, “ long may he wave.” Tl'e Ancert Monday 2N ijflit. * The concert given by Burns’ Band for the purpose of buyiu'g uniforms for the members, came off Monday night. Our hour for going to press prevents us from giving these excellent gentle men such a notice as they deserve, and therefore, with this short preface we can only append the programme. All the entertainments given by this organization have been delightful treats to our citizens, and have also been the most chaste and enjoyable occasions ever given by any amateurs in our city. It is but fair, therefore, to presume that this one will eclipse auy heretofore given. The native talent has been chosen with care, and numbers the best within the city limits. Miss Pauline Wurnu, of Atlanta, sister of Prof. Alfr< d Warm, who possesses rare and musical attainments, is also engaged to appear. If you did not attend yon missed a treat.

We understand that Mr. Hunnicut intends at early day, to put up three good store houses on the vacant lot between J. C. Wilkins and Dr. Smith’s drug store. This is a. good move and one which will add considerable to the appearance of Broad street. Improve ment is the watch-word, and we say, ‘ Let ’er roll.” New Warehouse. We learn that Mr. R. L. Moss and John Thomas, Esq., have recently pur chased a portion of the lot, on Clayton street, belonging to Mr. James Gallo way, and will build thereon a commo dious warehouse. The building will run through from Clayton to Market street, making it, we believe 100x218 feet. This is a very desirable site and in easy access to tho business of the city. We understand tho sum paid for the naked lot was $2,000. This will be, when finished, one of the lar gest warehouses in the State, and will prove a great benefit to our merchants and cotton buyers. Let the good work go on. Fatal Accident. While William Williams was cut ting wood near the Northeastern Rail road bridge last Wednesday morning, he either slipped or fell from a log on which he was standing, anti accidently cut his leg, severing the femoral artery, from which he bled to death before any assistance could be ren dered. He was an industrious man and liked by all who knew him < AV. Loiik & Co. Now is the time to prepare your ground and buy your garden seed.

Very few arrests were made during the week for violations of city ordinances. Den Culp chased the thief that stole Pat Lester’s fine mare as far as Atlan ta. He was unsuccessful, and re turned home last Monday night. Harrison Winfrey, colored, who abstracted a package of money, amounting to $780 from Mr. Crit MacMahan’s safe, in Crawford, was overhauled by Lieut. Culp and James O’Farrell and $350 of the amount stolen recovered. Carrie Adams, the girl that com mitted infantricide is still confined to her bed. She will be tried at an early day. Business has been brisk in police circles for the past week Safe, reliable, harmless and cheap, is Dr. .Bull’s Cough Syrup. Price only 25 cents. Now and Then.—It is only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a medicine for thef throat and iungs, and when they ko it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and luug affec tions. They recommend the Globe Flower Cough Syrup, and their testimonials are to be seen round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flowo* Syrup, for sale by. Dr. C. W. Long & Co.. Athens, Ge. Died.

Miller Lumpkin, of Hall county, is spending a few days with his relatives and friends in this city. —We were pleased to welcome to onr sanctum, last week, Prof. Frank Schuller, ot Sewaneo University, Trim. Prof. Schuller is visiting his children, who arc at school with their grandmother, Madame Sosnowski, and will return to his professional duties next week. Together with his numerous friends in Athens, wo wish him a joy'Jins stay in our midst. As an able professor, and as a thoroughly cultivated and literary gentleman, Col. SuhaHcf ranks high in the Sewanee University, and it is a mat ter of regret with many that his talent and scholarly attainments have not been secured to Georgia. Wc were honored on last Friday with a eall from Mm Findley, Esq., Editor of tho North Georgian, pub fished in ’Gainesville. Mr. Findley visited Athens in tho interest of his most excellent paper, and we hope he met with such encouragement and success as will induce him to visit often our city. Our merchants and business men will find it to be greatly to their interest to advertise in the Gainesville’ papers, which arc so widely circulated throughout North Georgia.*' —Miss Annie Maria Barnes, known in literary and journalistic circles as “ Cousin Annie,’’ was in Athens last week in the interest of that sprightly and newsy little paper, The Aean- thus, of which she is the editress and proprietress. Miss Barnes was quite successful having obtained nearly one hundred subscribers, which number would have been increased had she remained longer in onr city. Site expressed herself delighted with Athens and promised lo visit us again at an early day. We wish her abundant success in her most praise worthy enterprise. —We were made happy one day last week by the presence of Capt. Ben. Davis, the traveling agent for the Atlanta Daily Tribune, and whose bright smiles and jovial nature sheds joy and gladness whereso’er he goes. The Tribune is one of the newsiest, most readihle and neatly executed of our daily exchanges and deserves that success which we trust is the sure and certain reward of its able and valuable journalistic efforts. We congratulate the Tribune upon securing the services of so excellent and popular an agent as Capt. Davis, Almost anysort of a fight is a do ill. An Irishman, on being offered cel ery, replied : “ Do you think I’m a colt, to eat grass ?” “ I think our church will last a good many years yet,’’ said a wag gish deacon to his minister; “ I see the sleepers are very sound.” A young man in Poughkeepsie threatened to blow out his brains, and ever since a constable has been follwing him around with a search- warrant. “ What to eat and how to cook it,” is the name of a book recently pub lished. “ What to eat and where to get it,’’ would meet with a livelier sale among the laboring classes just now.

Rather Hard on the Doctor — At dinner the host introduces to the favorable notice of the company a splendid truffled pheasant, amidst murmurs of admiration. “ Isn’t it a beauty ?’’ lie says. “ Dr. So and-so gave it to me—killed it himself.” *“ Aw, what was lie treating it for?” says one of the guests. “ A contented ” husband who was asked tor a subscription, informed a “ Society for the Amelioration of the Condition of Women ’’ that lie didn’t care to have anything to do with new women’s clubs. “ The fact is,’’ said he, “ that my old woman’s club is enough for me, and sometimes it’s a little too much.” A. C>\11(1 lturiicd to Death. We regret to have to chronicle the fatal burning of a little daughter of Mr. Hoyt Ware, of Jackson county, on Friday last. Mr. Ware was burn ing the trash and brush in a field near his house. His little daughter was with him and going too near a stump which had caught on fire the flames were communicated to her clothing. Her screams bi ought her mother to the scene bnt too late to do any good. The little girl yielded to the demands of the grim destroyer on Friday night. The family have our heart felt sympathy.

A Secret* III Kept.—A goes round town loudly complaining to everybody that B had called him ail ass, and idiot, and so on. Everybody goes to B to learn whether this is t rue. “ True?” says B, “ why, certainly, it is true, but I called him all that in the strictest secrecy, and I thought he had a sufficient sense of honor to keep my confidence.” Eyes.

In three years two million four hundred Hints, sand small bottles of this medicine were distribnted free of charge by Druggists in this country to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia ( and other diseases ot the Throat and Lungs, giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and village in-the United States arc re commending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist, and ask what they know about it. Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. Three doses will relieve any case. For sale hv R. T. Brumby & Co. —[Boeton Globe. A French cynic says “Love is the dawn of marriage ; matrimony is the sunset of love.’’ There is a proverb in Suabia: “ A faithful swain weds early; a prudent one, never. “ He who has a good wife can bear any evil.” “ Marriage is an evil, a bitter-sweet chain; ’Tis like eating an onion—you weep aud eat again." The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour upon it, the more it contracts. “ But 1 pass,” said a minister in the west, recently, in dismissing one theme of his subject to take up an other. “Then I make it spades,” yelled a man from the gallery, who was dreaming the happy hours away in an imaginary game of euchre. It is needless to say that he went out on the next deal, being assisted by one the deacons with a full hand of clubs. A Very good Reason.—The rea son why only one sample bottle of Merrell’s Hepatine for the Liver * will be sold to the same person, for ter cents, by our Druggist, C. W. Long & Co. is becauseof the enormous expense of importing the Hepatine into this coun try ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liv er complaint. All who have not had a sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cts. at C. W. Long & Co., Drug store. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, $1.00. C. W. Long & Co.
