Bridge* NnHl’ l*prr.
This'is the title of a bright and lively
weekly just started in Atlanta by Bridges
AV. Smith, the initial number of which is
on our table. It is the neatest paper pub
lished in Atlanta, and desperately funny
for one dollar. Smith ha* made draw-
Bridge of his Paper from the Herald, of
which he was the founder, and left a Small
man to run it alono..
Home Kntorprtwe.
We saw a specimen of wagon felloe bent
by steam at Mr. Wm. Burton's who has a
steam apparatus for bending felloes, put up
by Mr. Re Faye, who has lived in the
North for a number of years, and says that
timber for this purpose is as good in this
country as there. We should patronize
home industry, and in this case it will pay,
as it would save freight.
Hymeneal.
Married, on the 24th of December, under
Governor Hampton’s administration, by
Rev. James T. W. Vernon, of this County,
Mr. Samuel H. Bearden and Miss
Martha J. Hunt, of Oconee County,
South Carolina.
On the 24th inst., by Rev, B. Thornton,
at the residence of the bride’s grandfather,
Mr. A. Parks and Msss M. Ramdky—
all of this County.
A White Crew.
Dr. A. J. Mathews brought into our
office a full-grown white crow, killed a few
miles from this place a few days ago. The
Doctor says it is one of two that he has
seen in this County, and invited us to help
him eat it, avowing that he could “eat
crow.” Upon further consideration, how
ever, he concluded to stuff and put it in
his museum as one of the curiosities of na
ture. Its feathers are pure white except a
few black spots on its wings near the body.

The Nuvuuuah Xews.
This excellent journal sends out a beau
tifully printed News' 1 Year Address in col
ors, with a large and faithfully executed
engraving of their extensive establishment!
Our opinion of the News is that it is the
best political paper in the State and has but
few equals on the American Continent.
During the terrible yellow fever scourge,
it stood manfully to the breach and its
clarion notes of wisdom and counsel rang
out as clear and strong as if no black llag
of death Haunted over the stricken city.
Estill is a veritable Casibianca among news
paper men, and Thompson—well, lie's the
author of Major Jones’ Courtship. Every
Georgian should read the News.
Xew Advertisements.
It will be seen by reference to dissolu*
tion notice and advertisement, that the iirm
of W. Y. Holland & Cos. has been dissolved
by mutual consent, and that Messrs. R.
P. Bradley, L. 0. Williford and D. C.
Alford have associated themselves under
the firm name of the Hartwell Steam Saw
Mill Company. They are all energetic
and industrious young men, and will no
doubt be liberally patronized. They are
prepared to take building contracts upon
the most favorable terms, and guarantee
satisfaction.
Dr. C. A. Webb warns trespassers to
“ stop that chopping ” on his lands.
Little Bill.
We regret to state that W. Y. Holland
left Hartwell yesterday for Atlanta, where
he is to embark in business. The Sun
and Hart are under heavy obligations to
Little Bill for its establishment in this
place, as it was largely owing to his influ
ence that we were induced to come hither.
And all his endeavors were totally unsel
fish, his only motive the building up of our
town and County. All this without the
hope of reward. We are aware that some of
our citizens were—for a time, at least—un
der the impression that he held a control
ling interest in the paper. Such is not the
case. He was interested only so much as
every citizen ought to be in a public enter
prise. We merely make this statement in
justice to Mr. Holland and without mny
disparagement to many other citizens io
have aided us in a liberal and apprecij *'?e
manner. We can commend Little Bii 'to
the people of Atlanta as being a thoro, ;h
--going, energetic business man, and hope
that he may be rewarded in his undertakings
commensurably with his fine ability. He
took his little dog with him.
Personal.
A. G. McCurry, Esq., has returned from
Atlanta. Represents lively times in the
Gate City, and brought the latest style of
hat.
J. F. Stewart, formerly with T. J. A L.
Linder, left Hartwell a few days since for
his home in Florida. While here he made
many friends, and was esteemed as a high
toned industrious young man. We have
uo doubt but that he will tind his home in
the Land of Flowers exceedingly pleasant
after an absence of four years —especially
after such cold weather as he has experi
enced this winter in Hart. We regret that
ho has left us, but wish for him a happy
and prosperous career wherever circum
stances may throw him:
J. J. Baldwin, whose name is well
known throughout the length and breadth
of Georgia, came to Hartwell some weeks
ago quite sick. He had a rough time of it
for a few days, but was on the tapis when
Christmas came, and was ablo to conceal
his average amount of turkey and other
Christmas delicacies. For liberality and
telling “ what be has sawn,” Jim beats all
creation. He is an ardent supporter ot B.
H. 11., and is always willing to Iloepp the
destitute.
J. Reese Fant, of the firm of Barr &
Font, Anderson, S. C., paid us a visit last
week, and was in his usual happy frame ol
mind. lie is a worthy scion of <). H. P.
Fant, better known as “ Repot Fant.” He
has been on a business tour up and down
the river, and we suspect his pocket-book
is now of Aldermanic proportions. Barr
& Fant is one of the most reliable firms in
Anderson. May he have lteese-on to visit
Hartwell often.
A. J. Neal, Clerk of the Court elect for
Franklin County, was in our sanctum for
a short time last week, and ma le himself
quite agreeable, lie is a fine gentleman,
and we have no doubt but that he will fill
his office with ability.
W. H. Adams, of White County, form
erly a citizen of this County, was in our
office Tuesday. He will remain in Ilart for
some days. Brings favorable accounts
from his County, and reports an unpreee
dently heavy fall of snow.

Cicero Chapman killed something less
than a wagon load of rabbits, partridges
and ’possums last week. Will sell them
cheap by the quarter.
Christmas has played out.
Constable Malery Sanders sold at pub
lic outcry before the courthouse on Mon
day, two yearlings. One brought Go cents
and the other $2.75.
A Fine Opportunity.
Attention is called to the* card of Miss
Annie Jordan, who will resume her music
class in connection with the Hartwell High
School. In order to give every one an
opportunity to receive instructions on the
piano forte, and in view' of the stringency
of the times, she has reduced her rates to
$4.00 per month with, an additional fee of
50 cents for use of piano. Class will meet
at Dr. Eberhart’s every alternate day, com
mencing on the 29th inst., allowing an hour
to each pupil. Church music, when de
sired, w'ill also be taught. Patrons are re
quested to pay monthly, if possible. No
deductions made, except for protracted ill
ness. This opportunity should not be
overlooked, as Miss Jordan’s proficiency as
a teacher is unrivalled. She desires to re
turn thanks for former favors and solicits
a continuance of the same.
Religious.
Rev. W. P. Smith preached his innitia
tory sermon in the Methodist Chuch last
Sabbath morning, from the 50th verse of
the 15th chapter of Ist Corinthians, read
ing in connection with the text a few' rela
tive verses of the 21 st chapter of Revela
tions. The subject matter was handled
in a comprehensive though brief manner,
and it seemed to be the intention of the
minister to excite thought upon the subject
rather than to exhaust it. His deductions
were logical and orthodox. Mr. Smith has
very prepossessing manners in the pulpit,
and we hope his labors among us may be
productive of much good. He preached
an evening sermon also. His family is
living in the house occupied by Mr. James
M. Teasley.
