We hope he will enjoy his visit, and find the “ old home just what it used to be.” His sweet heart should direct her valentine to Gaff ney’s Station, county and State aforesaid. A Big- Liin Case. A man with broadcloth clothes on came twenty miles from Hartwell last week to sue a man for thirty cents. This is simply ridiculous. VI re.

This gentleman died in Smilhvillc, Mon roe Oounty, Mississippi, on the 10th of January, 1877. in the seventy-seventh year of his age. The deceased was a brother of Rev. Benjamin Thornton, of this place, and a former resident of Elbert County. We sympathize with the brother in this be reavement. Nnlcsriay. A considerable crowd was in town yes terday, and the square presented a lively scene. Some land was sold, and a horse changed owners for the sum of $lO. A farmer facetiously informed us that he saw the frame but could not discover the horse. One man became rather obstrepereus and was lodged in the lock-up. Save a few wordy combats, the day passed of quietly. The Hartwell Minstrels. According to announcement, this talent ed troupe gave one of their unique and amusing entertainments in the Courthouse on Saturday night to a full house and ap preciative audience. Every one expressed themselves satisfied, and pronounce it as equal to Van Horn & McLean’s minstrels. We learn that they will give another enter tainment at an early day. A Morions Fall. On Thursday morning, while Mr. Eben czer Vickery was upon the chimney scaf fold of Mr. John Brown's house, the planks tilted, throwing him violently to the ground, lie fell about fifteen feet, and in his descent struck against a sharp piece of plank which inflicted a terrible gash under his arm near the shoulder, three or four inches long and a half inch deep. The wound was very painful, and Mr. Vickery suffered excruciatingly for some time. We arc glad to learn that he is recovering irapidly. ViuicrMl Ncrinon. Rev. J. T. W. Vernon preached the fune ral sermon of Waymnn Kberhart, infant son of Maj. .J. 11. Skelton, on Sunday .January 28th, in the Baptist Church to a large and attentive audience. It was a fine effort, and the points well taken. His text em braced the latter clause of the Bth verse. oth chapter Revelations : “ Come and see." In this chapter we have a description of four horses, witli their respective riders. The first was white, on which sat an illus trious personage with a bow, and He went forth conquering and to conquer, Ac. The second horse is red, to represent war. Ac. The third black, to represent famine, Ac. The fourth a pale horse, whose rider is Death, and Hell followed him. Death is under a seal —verse 7. Death is not under the direction and power of Satau, Ac., but under the management of God. The living know that they must die, Ac, “It is ap pointed unto men,” Ac. Death is repre sented as riding—not as creeping or walk ing. but riding forth with courage and power. lie has ridden over the heads of all classes and generations of human beings. Death is described as being fol lowed with Hell. Thik word sometimes signifies the grave. Tt also signifies the place of future punishment of the wicked, which is the second death. The rich man died, Ac. Notice our duty respecting it. Come and see the antiquity of death. He boid Abel prostrate, Ac. No country, or color, or age, or people ever escaped his ravages. Prepare for Death in life. No repentance in the grave. Removals. Mr. W. R. Stephenson has moved into his new house in the suburbs. It is not yet completed, but will be a large and handsome structure. Mr. John Brown has removed his family from the country to his handsome new res idence in Hartwell. He sends his children to the High School. This is an example worthy of emulation, and we wish more of the good citizens of Hart County would evince the same progressive spirit. His house when completed will be one of the most beautiful in the village. Mr. Kay desires to state to those who have been so persistent in their inquiries, that Mr. John Brown has moved into his new house ! Kinging. Mr. I sham Dyar, singing teajcber, will meet with the citizens at the Baptist. J’ljurch on Fridajr night nevV, for the pAposirof organizing a singing class. Everybody arc invited to attend. Communication. To tiie Editob of The Sun : For the benefit of the future historian, I have thought a short biographical sketch of the dramatis personae of the Hartwell Minstrels would be apropos , and give be low the result of my labors in that direc tion : The Orchestra is composed of Messrs. Neese and Temples violinists, and Satter field banjoist, and we defy any brass band in the United States to play the same mu sic. They do not play by notes, but by an industrious use of elbow grease are en able to till the air with melodious sounds as soft and dulcet as cats a-fighting. Cicero Chapman, the li Boss Showman,” talented vocalist, fancy dancer and funny tamborinist, is an old hand at the business and has been before the footlights long enough to take a position among the stars of the burnt cork profession, having been connected with many first-class troupes, among which was the famous world-re nowned “ Sons St. Vanarance.” John Pressnel made his debut with this troupe. But his innate talent coupled with his imposing appearance and indefatigable energy will place him among the foremost Ethiopian character delineators of the cen tury. He has had a lucrative offer by a well known troupe for the present season, but prefers to cast his destiny with the Hartwell Minstrels. Thomas M . Teasley, Esq., the inimita ble engine whistler and triangle beater also appears on the stage for the first time. 'J his gentleman is a member of the legal fraternity, which show s that talent of the first order frequently gives dignity to the business. I understand that he intends giving up his profession and devoting all of his time and talents to engine whistling. Thomas Adams, jr., in his first appear ance bids fair to eclipse Booth, Forrest or Laura Keene, and has a bass voice of tre mendous power and compass, resembling the exquisite sound of a buzz saw or the rattling of peas on a dry hide in pathos. I' m. Gaffney as •* Mr. Johnson,” has no equal as a “middle man,” outside of a ring of glass agates—his head having the roundness necessary. ITis commanding appearance cannot be surpassed any where this side of the Kentucky Giant, and the family grocery business has now no charms for him. With such a leader, we have no doubt but that the troupe could draw au immense crowd even in the theatre-going city of Klfcerton. John Wloox has just retired from riding the mail, 4nd was a valuable acquisition, and as a “ property-hoy ” was a decided success. It is true that ho has not the the proper proportions for r. female charac ter. anatomically speaking, hut with the necessary trimmings, Ac., we have no doubt put what he will soon put Lydia Thompson to shame. J. If. McGill, like the “ Ikjss,” has been on the board before, having taken con spicuous parts in the Klborton Minstrels and the Anderson F.thiopes. lie is partic ularly distinguished for his energy and physical strength in beating the hones. He ipade many brilliant and decided hits during the performance, in fact he made even more effective hits with his hones than he has ever succeeded in doing with his pen as an editor. We don’t think his physical strength can hold out much longer under such terrific manifestations, and suppose he will resign his charge to O’ gen uine young African, who has already dis played some talents in that way on the jtreets of our town.
