LOCAL AFFAIRS. 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. Banks County Officers. The following officers were elected in Banks County for the ensuing term, among whom will be found several quondam citi zens of this County: Ordinary, T. F. Ilill; Sheriff, B. 1 . Suddath; Clerk Court, Kobt. J. Dyarj Tax Receiver, W. C. Ilaulbrook ; Tax Collector. P, A. Walters; County Suri veyor, L. A. Turk; County Treasurer, W. 11. Meeks; Coroner, \\. R. Arphlin; Commissioners. Wrn, Wiley, Thomas NeiL 'l V'.. t-Urdy,. *J> A *. * -V. 4 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. Local Brevities. Warmer. Look out for pneumonia. Dr. Skelton drives a span of grays. - - *• *• —— - n,TI Dr. Eberhart knows the very spot to touch a balky horse to make him go. Huldah retired to the privacy of the cal aboose Sunday to write her love-letters. Don't forget that Dr. E. G. Murrah will be here in a few days to fix your teeth. We would respectfully ask our cotempo raries, what is good for a crick in the neck ? A team bolted with a wagon on Satur day and demolished a shaft of a buggy standing in the square. AVood has burnt down to its usual price —fifty cents a load. Another dance at the courthouse Satur day night. Fiddlestrings broke and the crowd retired at an early hour. 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. Pleasant liill Aeiulemy. This School opened with flattering au spices Monday last, under the efficient man agement of S. M.
