Now, bring on your and send them to the High School. 1 ' ► fr $ :v — ®Prof. Hyde, of South Carolina, a Pres byterian minister, will preach at 1 leasant Hill on next Sabbath, and Hartwell the same night. _____ . Meldel, F.*a ■| Wc are pleased to learn that our towns man is filling the appointment of Journal ising Clerk in the Senate with signal ability Land efficicucy. ___ A Fine School. Our young townsman. S. W. Peek, has a thriving school near t apt. t rgtt s, and we have no doubt but that he will give en tire satisfaction to his patrons. Lost. I Rev. W. P. Smith lost a large grey Shawl between Mt. Zion and this place on list Sunday. The finder will confer a fa yr by returning it to Mr. Smith. It has a ■rivate mark on it. Worthy of Emulation. I The very efficient postmaster at Air line writes us to know if any one fails to ■ eccive their mail regularly from that (office, stating his desire to please the pco [ple. This is praiseworthy; and we are glad to sav that, while we hear much com plaint from other quarters, we have heard none from Air Line. The Hartwell Sunday School. | This School has been reorganized with a considerable membership and bright auspices, with F. B. Hodges as Superin tendent and E. B. Benson Secretary, A choir has been organized, and it contem plates purchasing an organ. \\ hy could not the ladies get up some charades, the proceeds to go toward helping pay for it ? Death. WJr. Richmond Skelton died last night at about 10 o'clock, aged 77 years and one dav. He was one of the oldest citizens in the County, highly respected, ami held the office of Sheriff for a number of ycata. He was a consistent member of the Sardis Baptist Church for forty years, lie died of dropsy, with which he has been aflhcted Car Koine time.,T"~ Hymeneal. Married, at the residence of the bride's father, February Oth. D77. by Rev. \\ . P. Smith, Mr. Wm. S. Gaines and Miss Ma-ky C. Teaslky, all of Elbert County. |L)n the 28th January, 1877. at the resi dence of the bride's father in Cherokee County, Mr. George Caßxes and Miss Ann Richardson, formerly of Hart County. Serenade!*!*. Our slumbering inhabitants were aroused i by the sweet music of the scrcnadcrs on Saturday and Monday nights. It was de lightful ; and if there is one time more than another that wc appreciate music, it is in the semi-unconscious state when just awakening from a profound slumber. It almost deludes us into the belief that angels arc hovering nigh—especially if there arc female voices along. Fire. The roof of the kitchen at Bobo's Hotel was ignited by rij-ing sparks yesterday af ternoon. A few buckets of water, how ever, soon quenched the flames. But for the prompt action of our citizens it might have resulted more seriously. People should be very careful with fire, especially during such windy weather. Everybody should keep a ladder on their premises. Little Bill Holland got his fire extinguisher there in time to shoot a few squirts into the hole where the fire had been. Woe Unto Them that arent Casein Zion ’ Rev. Mr. Smitii preached from this texl (by request) in the Methodist Church last MBabbath, and it was the best sermon we have listened to in a long time. It was very pointed—in fact, so much so that we doubt if any thinking person in the con gregation did not feel as if it was pointed ai him individually ; and yet it was entire ly free from asperities. Ihe pastor is en dearing himself very rapidly to his congre gation, and our citizens generally; and we believe his ministry in Hartwell will be productive of much good. Local Brevities. Grim winter approacheth again. The weather is a little Hazey again. E. B. Benson rejoices in the ownership of a tine black horse. Don't forget that Hr. E. G. Murrah is to be here this week. Our new Sheriff elect has entered on the discharge of his official duties. Quite a number of mountain wagons have passed through Hartwell in the last few days, laden with tobacco, cabbages, chestnuts and bear meat—the latter selling at 25 cents per pound. It would pay the people of Hart to raise their own bears. Whenever you go to see a Georgia girl in cold weather always earn* a bundle of pine splinters and a ‘kerosene stove along with vou. A brace of green oak sticks in a big-mouthed fireplace will freese **the genial current of the soul’’ at almost any time. Don't forgot the kindling!—Abbe vitle Medium. Yes. and if you try to w-arm around any Georgia girl, she'll break your slim shanks with a knitting-needle! Hr. Mathews has had port holes cut in his dwelling, and if he should be attacked by the enemy, wo would suggest that he use some of his pills for grape-shot—- - now wouldn't he slay 'em? Bill Rogers has quit boarding nt the ho tel and now lives on fish and crackers. He claims that fish are good brain food. Would it not be a good thing for some of his friends to send him a whale?— Abbe ville Medium. A word in your ear, William Rogers: Wouldn't a little whaling do the Medium ist good—a medium whale. To-day is Valentine Day. Green paper with $1.50 printed on it is the kind wc like. Put some poetry in something like this : I'm tired reading The Sun on time, Here's a $1.50, sweet valentine. Some parties stole all the clothing left on the lines one night last week from the resi dences of Mr. John Snow and C. W. Seidel, Esq. Look out for the rogues! Mr. Snow says he is dosing out cheap. Rev. W. P. Smith is delivering a series of interesting lectures on “Revelation," every Wednesday night. Prof. Looney has built a picket fence around his garden. Chickens will have to fiy high. Mr. John Drown has built up a stable and *lug down a well on his place. Hartwell Market. Hartwell, Ga„ Feb. 7, 1876. The following market reports are Cor rected weekly by E. 11.
