LOCAL AFFAIRS. DISSOLUTION OF COPARTNERSHIP. The Firm of Belcher & McGill is this day dissolved by mutual consent All persons indebted to the Firm are earnestly requested to come forward and make immediate settlement. Ihe busi ness of the Firm must be wound up. 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. Address. Ludden & Bates' Southern Music 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 vertiser and Union. fredonia, N. V. t'aminunleat ion. 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. K. Hartwell Market. Hartwell, Ga., Feb. 28, 1870. The following market reports are cor rected weekly by E. B.
