R. Edmund Belcher,
John H. Mcoill.
Hartwell, Ga., February 28th, 1877.
COPARTNERSHIP NOTICE.
The undersigned have this day entered
into a copartnership for the puprpose of
publishing The Hartwell Sun. under
the name and style of Benson & McGill.
We bespeak a continuance of the liberal
patronage and support accorded to the old
firm. All communications should be ad
dressed to Benson & McGill, publishers.
Respectfully,
F.. B. Benson & Cos.,
J. H. McGill.
The Hartwell Hun.
We will continue the old head of “The
SuN ’\ to The Hartwell Sun for a
short time, until our new one, which has
been ordered, arrives.
Hymeneal.
Married, on Wednesday evening, 21st
February. 1877, Mr. George Brown to
Miss Nannie Holbrook—both of this
County, near Redwine’s Church.
Returned.
Hon. John B. Benson and C. W. Seidel,
Senate Journalizing Clerk, returned from
Atlanta Saturday evening. Mr. Benson
was rather indisposed, but has quite re
covered.
Remember.
Because Dr. Webb has taken his notice
to trespassers out of the paper, is no rea
son why he will not prosecute any one tres
passing upon his grounds. It was meant
as a fair warning.
Carriage Notice*.
Persons sending jm marriage notices Tor
publication, should give the date, officia
ting minister, at whose residence or what
Church, and the full name of both parties.
We make no charge.
Tobacco.
Thos. V. Skelton has our thanks for a
sample of good chewing tobacco. Lovers
of the weed should give him a call. He
has just received anew invoice of fine har
ness. shoes, leather, and pegs, which he
will sell cheap for cash.
The Sun.
Our printing establishment will hereafter
be found in rear of E. B. Henson & Co.'s
Grocery Store. We desire to return thanks
to the Masonic Fraternity for allowing us
a shelter under their roof, in the absence of
any other available office.
Model Hotel.
The Newton House, in Athens, is the
best kept hotel in the State, and the last
Reform Legislature would have done a good
.deed by appropriating ten thousand dollars
(to pay A. I). Clinard to travel around to
the principal towns in the State to give les
sons in hotel-keeping; in one year he could
teach them enough to well repay that
amount, as all our citizens have occasion
ally to stop at a hotel.
R. Edmund Belclier.
The Junior regrets the necessity that
compels the above gentleman to resign his
editorial pen which he has used with abili
ty and conscienciousness. Our brief asso
ciation has been pleasant and harmonious,
rand we hope our united endeavors have
been productive of some good, wherein
have our reward. May Mr. Belcher
[find his future occupation one of pleasure
and profit. He returns to South Carolina,
where he will engage in agricultural pur
suits.
Urnnd Premium Oiler.
The publishers of the Southern Musical
Journal now makes the most liberal pre
mium offer that has ever been known. The
subscription price of their elegant maga
zine is only -$1.25 per year and with it they
present a premium certificate which is good
for the purchase of a dollar's worth of
Sheet Music from their Southern Music
from their Southern Music House at Sa
vannah, Ga. This certificate is good at
any time within one year from the date of
subscription. Every person who overbuys
Sheet Music should avail themselves of this
splendid offer, and thus receive at least five
tim s as much music for the money as can
otherwise be had. Send a three cent stamp
for specimen copy and prospectus for 1577.

Savannah, Ga.
PcrMwnal.
We had a pleasant call from Mr. A. A.
Blackwell, of Elberton yesterday. He
came up here to purchase a hill of lumber
from the Hartwell Steam Saw Mill.
A. 11. Avery, the gentlemanly agent for
Ayer's celebrated notrums. was in town
last week. He wore a dime-and-pin. His
medicines may be procured from E. B.
Benson A Cos.
Sheri tT W. A itch A itch Adams was
also in town, and looks quite young and
pretty for a ten-year-old Sheriff. We hope
he will be elected as long as he lives, and
that he may live as long as he is elected.
Col. E. P. Edwards, of Elberton, came
into our sanctum yesterday, and made
himself as agreeable as is his wont. We
were glad to see him enjoying excellent
health. He has the sore eyes, however,
but is a strong believer in the blue glass
theory. And then gogles look venerable.
J. W. Skelton, of Republic, Missouri,
formerly a citizen of this County, has been
here on a visit for some time. He will re
turn to his adopted home, we learn, to-day.
We hope for him a realization of his bright
est anticipations, hut regret his departure.
He set a good example to our citizens at
home by subscribing for The Sun.
Local Brevities.
Lovely weather.
Yes, his name is Hayes.
Fun for the boys, but death to the robins.
New fence around the Bobo Hotel yard.
Average temperature for the past week.
46° Rainfall, 0.05 inch.
The Minstrels are preparing to give an
other entertainment at an early day.
The inmates of the jail were serenaded
by a band of musicians on last Monday
night.
Hog cholera is becoming prevalent in
town. A fine shoat dropped dead in the
square yesterday, and Major Skelton has
lost several.
C. W. Seidel. Esq., has removed his of
fice up in the room formerly occupied by
Adams and Sanders, where he can be found
at all times.
W. 11. Stephenson, on the Holland cor
ner, has just received a good stock of cali
cos, dry goods, and groceries of all kinds.
Give him a call and get bargains.
In regard to Justice Bradley, we are
like the Irishman said—“hanging is too
good for the haythen. he ought to kicked
by a jackass, and I’d like to be the one to
do it!”
A white woman has been confined in jail
for prostituting herself with a negro. Is
there any lower depths of degradation ?
She goes by the nickname —“Nig!'’ Ex
pressive, if not euphonious.
A lady on her way to town last week,
stopped at a friend's house for a few mo
ments. Getting in the buggy again, she
continued her drive, until within a few
miles of town, she heard a hen cackling
and a rooster crowing vociferously under
the buggy seat. Lifting the hanging, there
was the devoted pair exulting over a newly
laid egg. She could not turn back, so the
bride and groom had an extensive bridal
tour to and from town. This is the fresh
est egg ever brought to this market.
A Sew Industry.
Col. F. E. Harrison, of Andersonville,
S. C., has sent to this office a beautiful
sample of “Factory Thread," made by the
new process of ginning, carding and spin
ning at one operation. This is a great in
stitution, as packing the cotton destroys to
some extent the fibre and weakens it so
that a great waste is created at factories
using the packed cotton. The sample is
excellent, showing a great deal of strength
and evenness. Messrs. E. B. Benson &
Cos., we understand, will keep it on hand
hereafter, and we have no doubt it will
give great satisfaction.
The Uenernl A*H*inbJy.
This body has adjourned, without ac
complishing anything good. This is bad.
Georgia is looked upon as the representa
tive Democratic State, and the Republi
cans will laugh in scorn at the loud crys
for reform and retrenchment, when our
Legislature remained in session until ad
journed by limitation, without effecting one
single measure of consequence. We are
disappointed, the people of Georgia are
disappointed, the Democratic party are
disappointed. But the Republicans rejoice
with exceeding great joy. As to our own
Representative, we feel satisfied that he
has performed his duty faithfully and well.
What other preparations fail to do, Hall's
Ilair Renewer surely accomplishes. It re
news the hair and especially restores its
color when gray and faded. Asa dressing
it is unsurpassed, making the hair moist,
soft and glossy. The most economical pre
ftaration ever offered, its effects remain a
ong time, and those who have once made
a trial of it will never use any other.—Ad

To the Editors ok The Sun :
The volleys as emitted in your columns,
relative to the “choice bit of rhyme,” or
poor-try. which appeared in The Sun of
February 7, calls from me this explanation :
It was not intended for publicity.
However, it appeared in The Sun. Not
withstanding the denunciations hy the as
sumed girl and the Athens “critic,” I have
nothing to recant, but say—more truth
than poetry.
For the present, more directly to the
communicated prose, which has won for
the graphic writer a fame that will exist in
his big head so long as criticism will per- 1
mit. I am sorry that my criticiser and
would-be dignitary, through the limited
space, as it seems to be, of his cranium, 1
will so assume, and with such audacity
present to the literary world through the
bright columns of our Sun, this postula
tion, that what I could say would affect
the world-renowned Poets. God knows j
the jackanapes would ludicrously spurn
such ignorant supposition and so-called
criticism. In reference to the latter phrase,
would a sagacious reader call it criticism?
No; but slander, of the most satirical
odium, which if from an appurtenant
source, would cause me to “ fold my tent
and steal silently away ” in deep compunc-
tion. He seems to have such an anxiety to
know why I should be so well posted con
cerning the fashions of the sex. for which
he seems to have such veneration. Would
be critic, has the scales never been re
moved from your eyes, or has your mental
meridian been overshadowed with clouds,
so as to prevent the proper perception of
natural objects? As you are a constant
reader of The Sun. and have such mystic
ideas of my knowledge about the fashions,
forgive me for referring you to The Sun of
February 21,
(In which the would-be critic’* faun 1 depends ;
Youngster, watch ?—a sprout so easy bends.)
“ Courting in the right style.” I fear you
are like timid Jake. Oh. to see the critic
act with such insidious complaisance, and
from his inexhaustible store of critical
knowledge, see liow he would make me
“ smart under the severities of harsh crit
icism.” If you think I should suffer for
being too fast for the climate, I say “ Bring
in another horse ” —one that is not so
closely allied to a mule. Critic and lover
of the fashions, with your cheeks painted
as red as cochineal ami hair greasy as a
soap factory in Ohio, I have heard of such
fops, and now I see you, forty feet above
your natural element, standing upon a
pyramid of sand—farewell the next freshet!
I am not skilled in versification—know
nothing about metrical composition, poetic
feet, pauses, measures, scanning, &c.
When I want advice as to my poetry, 1
will solicit the aid of your pen, as your at
tempt, has gained the sympathy of many
readers for the would-be poet.
A short paragraph to the assumed girl.
I know he is very effeminate in physical
form, but yet he does not wear the tucks i
and cuffs, and it seems, from his poetry,
that there are others who would like for
the world to know they, too, are “ smart.”
You had to cast out mendacious insinua
tions as the base of your burlesque. Rest
easy on your hot iron if you can, I will
get my borax next week and have a weld.

three years without a single failure to cure.

self. go to your Druggist. E. IL Benson

will relieve the worst case. If you have
no faith in any medicine, just buy a sam-!
