The markets.
We have heretofore said but little, thro»
the columns of our paper, about the mar
kets, either at home or abroad. The time
haa com© for us to spur up on this subject*
We hope, in the future, to be able to quote
regularly the prices of leading articles, as
follows:
Cotton. -Up to the 9th inst., New York
quotations were from 20$ to 21$ cents.
New Orleans, 9th, 19$.
Baltimore, 9th, 20$. .
Wilmington, 9th, 19|.

Atlanta, 10th, Cotton, 18 & 18$.
Cartersville, 11th, two new bales receiv
ed on Friday and Saturday last, the first
was sold to W. J. Williford, at 18$ cents.
The above markets all quote cotton firm
and steady at the figures attached, except
the last named market, which, owing to the
fact that it was the first bale of the new
crop, sold a shade higher than the mar
ket price. The latter bale was sold on Sat
urday last at 17$. We quote the market at
from 17$ to 18 cents for new.
M/e quote Corn at 70 cents per bushel;
M heat from sl. to $1.60, wide margin ; Hay
$26 per ton; Bacon, shoulders 8 to 10, clear

•far Many of our people are at the North*
spending their money and leisure hours at
Niagura, Saratoga, Long Branch, up and
down the Hudson and Niagara River, in
the Catskill mountains, and visiting various
other places of fashionable summer resort,
in quest of scenery and pleasure, while
North and Northeast Georgia is full of ro
mantic scenerj— mountains, cascades, falls,
vallies, gorges, coves, ravines, peaks, dash
ing, splashing, rippling, gurgling rivers and
creeks, mineral and freestone springs, and
as bright &ud genial sunshine as ever re
flected a shadow, and as pure and bracing
atmosphere as was ever inhaled by mortal
nostrils. Here our own majestic Yonah,
the lovely Tallulah and beanliful Toccoah,
blushes in perpetual grandeur, in the howl
ing wilderness almost, while the screaching
and bootings of the owl, and the shrill and
dolorous Bcreanis of the night hawk and ea
gle, commingle with the roar of fulling wa
ters and the deep, gutteral sound of baro
metrical winds, all combine to intensify the
scenery with the song of nature’s sweetest
medley. Many of our own people from this
immediate section of the State have visited
the mineral springs which abound in the
above specified portion of Georgia, where
they quaffed the healing waters, and feast
ed their eyes upon the grand panoramic
scenery spread out in such profusion and
sublimity around them, and have returned
home with robust bodies, bouyant spirits,
and radiant features suffused with smiles,
superinduced by the afflatus caught while
viewing this magnificient display of nature’s
handiwork. Their visit to this highly fa
vored and interesting section of our glori
ous sunny south, inspired them with new
pride for, and devotion to, this Chrokee Ga,
section, having never so fully realized be
fore that the lines had fallen to them in
such pleasant places. But few Georgians
have an idea that as lovely and picturesque
scenery adorn* the Empire State of the
South, as can be witnessed particularly in
the region of qpuntry above described. To
see is to be convinced. The reason why
this highly romantic section is so seldom
visited by pleasure-seeking parties from the
lowlands of the State, is attributable to the
fact that it can only be reached by private
conveyance This will not always be the
case, we trust.
l@uA protracted meeting, promising
fine results, is now progressing, day and
night, at the Presbyterian Church in this
place.
At Liberty Grove M. E. Church just be*
low Allatoona, a fine revival season is being
experienced by the congregation. Eight
souls professed conversion there on Sunday
night last.
Nine candidates, we learn, are to be im
mersed at Wofford’s Cross Roads Baptist
Church, on next Sunday.
A protracted meeting is progressing at
Brandon Chapel in the 17th district.
A religious awakening in McLemore’s
Cove, Walker county, resulted in the con

attended by between 3,000 to 4,000 persons,

last resting place, on Sabbath morning
last He was buried with Masonic

•SIT* A reporter of ours, who has re
cently traversed the mountainous coun
ties of Giituer and Murray “seeking
whom he might devour,’’ came across
tt School House situated at the foot of
the Cohuttah mountain, on the line of
Gilmer and Murray counties, one Fri
day evening, and Htoppfed to heftr these
young Ciceroesand Demosthenes de
claim. The teacher opened the exer
cises by rehearsing the scrape the boy
got into who climbed the old man's
nppletree; for further particulars, Bee

Next came a firery youth of about two
and twenty summers, who, tqxjke as
follows:
Up the street,
And down the level,
Granny’s puppy,
Treed the devil.
Next came a youth of about fifteen
years of age, who proceeded to speak
learnedly as follows, upon a compli
ment which a toad frog had passed up
on a bull-frog. He said:
A bull-frog jumped into tho well,
And the toad-frog said he done ‘party’ well.
Our reporter left feeling that it was
good for him to be there. It is aston
ishing to see how these denizens of the
mountains declaim.
I®. We heartily surrender a por
tion of our space to the following
communication, written by our friend,
“Nemo.” Need we add that it ex
presses our sentiments ? Head it:
Tournament Again.
Messrs. Editors: I read an editorial
in your last issue, written in opposi
tion to the Tournament, which is to
form such an attractive feature in tho
programme of our approaching Fair.
I am glad to see that the writer,
himself, fails to see “the immoral fea
ture, in this little sabre and horse
back exercise.”
It is my candid opinion, that the
individual who desires to be present at
the Fair, and absents himself on ac
count of the Tournament, for fear of
giving aid and countenance to “immo
rality,” a close analysis would develop
hypocrisy to be the predominant trait
in his character—one of the Puritan
ical and cunning sort, who
“Compound for sins, they are inclined to,
By condemning those they have a mind to.”
I inn not as charitable as you are,
Mr. Editor, and I cannot respect the
prejudices of individuals, who condemn
as immoral, an exhibition of manly ex
ercises, which is appreciated and en
joyed by tbe fuireot and best portion
of our community.
Although I like to do it very much
yet there is no use to waste words, or
hurt feelings now.
We will have a Tournament. The
Managers of the Fair know that if
they tried to please everybody, they
would have no exhibition at all.
I have been requested to give notice,
that all who wish to take part in the
Tournament, will meet at the Town
Hall, on Thursday next, the 14th, di
rectly after the arrival of the passen
ger trains. The meeting will adjourn
from time to time, until the oxrange
ments are perfected. Yours,
Nemo.
Fitch, of the Griffin Star, says our
local is studying for the ministry. If
his far -Filched story about Hudgins
private entrance be true, it is not nec
essary for him to be much study in or
der to be elligible.
We venture to express the hope
that tbe affairs of the State will still
be conducted in a manner satisfactori
ly to all parties, until his excellency
thinks proper to assume once more tho
duties of the office.
E. A. Polland, it is said, it is about

The Sun is curious to know where
Gov. Bullock is, what he is doing, and
why he is not at his office in that city;
does not desire his presence; says we
do not need him there; but still won
der what keeps him away so long; asks
if he is selling State bonds, is he gone
to California, or where has he gone
and w hat is he doing ? Meantime the
opinion is expressed that Captain Fos
ter Blogett is acting Gov. of Georgia,
in his place, as he is all the time in the
Executive office.

Exuberant Health
Is a blessing vouchsafedl<> few. Even those
who hive been faVorcl by nature with
strong constitutions ami vigorous frames Art
apt to neglect the precautions necessary to
preserve these precious endowments. In
deed. as a rule, the most healthy and robust
a man is, the more liberties he is inclined to
take with his own physique. It is some
consolation to the naturally weak and feeble
to know that they can be so invigorated and
built up, by a proper use of the means
which science has placed at their disposal,
as to have a much better chance of longlife,
and exemptions from disease and pain, than
the most athletic of their follows who are
foolish enough to suppose themselves invul
nerable, and act accordingly.
It is not too much to say that more than
half the people of the civilized world need
an occasienal tonic, to enable them to sup
port the strain upon their bodies and minds,
which the fast life of this reckless age occa
sions. In fact, pure, wholesome, unexciting
tonic is the grand do ideratum of the busy
millions, and they have the article in Hos
tetter s Stomach Bitter?. It is a staminal
medicine, i. e. it imparts permanent strength
to weak systems and invigorates delicate
constitutions. Its reputation and its sales
have steadily increased. Competitive pre
parations have been introduced ad libitum
and, as far as the public is concerned, ad
nauseam , in the hope of rivaling it; but they
have all either perished in the attempt, or
been left far in the rear. It has been the
great medical success of the present centu
ry, and it is quite certain that no proprieta
ry medicine in this country is as widely
known, or as generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running incessant
ly (Sundays excepted ) the whole year
through, barely supply the demand for the
Illustrated Almanac, in which the nature
and uses of the preparation are set forth,
the circulation now being over eight millions
a year.
