Married, on Tuesday March (sth 1877, at the residence of the bride's mother, by Rev. W. P. Smith. Mr. R. B. Shirly to Miss Minerva Parker— all of llart ! County. Eagle tirovc l*ost-Office. The Eagle Grove Postmaster writes us that he will take pleasure in delivering the mail to any one who will call for it. And says that he can’t ride around to every body's house to deliver it. New Mall Ronles. We will make efforts at once to establish new lines to remote parts of the County. If Uncle Sam won’t do it. we will. The route from Toccoa to Carnesville (tri weekly) must be extended to this place. These things are needed and must be had. no matter who is President. Eagle Drove Nchoel. i Miss Louvenia Attaway commenced this School on Monday morning, February 2(5. with twenty-six scholars. Among the number were two pairs of twins, one pair from the headwaters of Beaverdam, and the other from Cold Water. There were also six Moores, and more are expected. W ild Oeese. , A flock of wild geese were observed in f 4his vicinity a few days ago. This beto kens mild weather. But the sleet on Tues day bulldozes the “sign " and counts win ter in again. The geese should go back be hind the returning boards. Perhaps they Were on their way to W ashington to wit ness the inauguration of Hayes. There will be a great many of them there. Ho Hew Head. We have concluded that it is best to let jgood enough alone. As it is, we have the head of any paper in the State, and by keeping it well combed expect to “get millions out of it.” So, it will still be ♦‘The Sun.” We would remind our pa trons that our office has been removed to the room in rear of E. B. Benson & Co.'s Grocery. Call and see us. No trouble to write receipts. Sudden Death. Mr. Ezekiel Norris, an old and honored citizen of Anderson County, S. C., died after a brief illness of two or three days, on the 28th of February, aged about Hfi years. He was well known to many of subscribers on both sides of the Sa vannah. lie leaves a large circle of rela tives and a host of friends to mourn his absence. He was a consistent member of •.the Presbyterian Church. Accidentally Shot. Joseph Gloer and R. T. Tucker, two young men, students of the Hartwell High Kchool, on last Saturday, went out to ex .ereise their skill in pistol shooting. While r Mr. Gloer was reloading his pistol, it was accidentally discharged, wounding him slightly on the little finger of the left hand, the ball burying itself in the instep of his left foot. He left for his home on Sunday evening, and at last aecounts was doing very well. We hope to sec him back at school in a few days. There seems to be a kind of fatality about that pistol, as an other gentleman wounded his hand with it before. Throw away your pistols, young men. and get some pop-guns—-they make a vtl v pretty noise. Dvmlli of Prominent Athenian*. M t . Talmadgc, an old and widely es teemed merchant of Athens, died suddenly on Wednesday February 21st. He was a man of worth and integrity. He leaves a ! wife and several children. j Col. A. H. Christy, editor and proprie j tor of the Southern Watchman, died at his home in the city of Athens, on the 20th of February, after a short but painful illness, from injuries received on the Northeastern Railroad, whereby he had his foot terribly crushed. But a few days elapsed after the accident, when mortification set in, which resulted fatally. Col. Christy entered life as a journalist at the early age of nineteen, There are but few men in America who have discharged the duties of an editor so ably and successfully as he, or presented truer perceptions of truth and right, or done more for State and local interests. He had a well-deserved national reputation for truth, honesty and fidelity to his coun try. In his death wc have sustained the loss of a good, honest man; an upright, worthy citizen; an able, conscientious, experienced and faithful journalist. We deplore the loss of one whose sagacity aud political foresight has been of such ines timable worth to our State and beloved South. Colonel Christy leaves behind to mourn his loss, a wife and a large family of children. To them, we extend our deepest sympathies. Local Brevities. Rev. J. W. Baker will preach in the Methodist Church next Sunday. Some festive citizens of Washington, Wilkes County, spend Sunday in cock fighting. Yesterday there were a large number of people iu town. It was a quiet Salesday— no sales—except drinks. Fifteen hundred bales of cotton were shipped down the river to Augusta this season from Parks’ Ferry. We will give a tabular statement of the number of bales shipped from all points in the County in a short time. Columbus is excited over the exhibi tion of a white robin killed by a lad near that city. The breast of the bird was slightly red and the head black, the body pure white. This is a parallel case with the white crow that was killed in our County some time ago. Speaking of white icrows, Waites J’roffit brought another white Crow into our office the other day. In former days the ravens shared food with the prophet, but in these latter days the Crow and the Proffit sip out of the same bottle. Hart County Agricultural Society. The following minutes of this Society on yesterday, were kindly furnished us by the Secretary: F. B. llodges, Esq., President, in the chair. Minutes of last meeting were read and adopted. E. T. Cason, Jas. B. Ilayes and Jas. R. Brown were enrolled as members of the Society. A large quantity of seeds, forwarded to the Society from the Agricultural Depart ment at Washington, 1). C., were distribu ted among the members present. D. 11. Agnew and W. G. W. White paid their annual dues. Adjourned to Ist Tuesday in April next. C. W. Seidel. Secretary. Notice by the Secretary. —Members of the Society receiving seeds, are earnestly requested to keep an accurate account of the result of their operations with the same : to put down in writing date of plant ing. number of workings, nature of ground and yield, and any other items necessary for the information of the Department or public. Jfe Advertisement*. Letters of Administration—Sarah A. Rice. See card of Dr. W. 11. McCurry. He has the best material and latest improved instruments, and is prepared to put up plate and plug teeth in the very best style, and the most reasonable terms. Sealed proposals for contract for build ing anew jail will be received by the Or dinary until 12 o'clock M. April 7th. We are really glad that we are to have anew jail. Besides being an absolute necessity, it will add greatly to the appearance of our beautiful town. See notice to contractors. To Advertiser*. Many of your times are up. We will esteem it a great favor if you will give us new ones at once. Our columns are open to all all alike. Same terms to everybody. No free advertising will be done at this office. We pay for what we get. and are willing to work for you cheap. Tf you can't give us a large advertisement send on a small one. Try a three or six months advertisement and see what benefits you will reap. Spend a little money on prin ter's ink. PcrWOHNt. Rev. W. T. Norman dropped into our sanctum yesterday. We were glad to see him looking so well, notwithstanding his removal from so healthy a clime ns ours. We had the pleasure of a friendly call from Dr. .1. 11. Parker, of Parker's Store. He is a very genial gentleman, and shows his appreciation of home institutions by subscribing to his County paper. Messrs. Baldwin and Holland, the less, arrived in town last night. They go to Carnesville this morning, but will remain over in Hartwell Sunday. W. V. Holland represents J. W. Goldsmith, Grocer and Commission Merchant, and the Meador Bros., Wholesale Dealers in Tobacco and Cigars. The visits of these gentlemen are as sweet as hduey on pound-cake. A Live ItiiMincsN Man. Tt would seem from the advertising col umns of the Elberton Gazette , that Dr. Edmunds intends running a town within himself. Being a physician, he can admin ister the pills; feed you at his hotel; sup ply your wants in family groceries ; clothe you in his tailoring establishment; repair your leaking tinware ; sell you drugs ; take your picture; keeps a livery stable, and can shoe your horse at his blacksmith shop, lie only needs a couple of lawyers, a preacher and a bar-room to complete a one-horse town. The Doctor has done more to improve and build up Elberton than any man in it. He says anything you want that he hasn’t got he will make it for you. All right. Doctor—make us a little advertisment. It would he mutually ben eficial. “ A word to the wise. &o.” A Mistake. Last week, we received a postal card asking us to announce the marriage of Mr. George Brown and Miss Nannie Holbrook, signed " the friends.” After publication, we received another card, with no signa ture, stating that the marriage was a fiction. We would advise the person to be more careful in the future, as the parties inter ested could bring a heavy lawsuit against him. Hereafter, the full signature must accompany communications to insure pub lication. This is for a guarantee of good faith. We are very sorry that the mistake was made, but wc were not to blame. The Sow Town Ball nt Ayer. This elegant structure is now complete. In beauty of design it surpasses anything of its kind in the State. Constructed of brick and dark marble it is as permanent as it is charming. The English architects have adorned it in subdued colors, which please without tiring the eye. Dr. J. C. Ayer built and gave it to the town in ac knowledgment of the distinction they con ferred upon him in taking his name. Al though it is a generous gift, still the hearty good wishes of a whole people are of greater value, and the generous donor has doubt less secured them .-Groton (Mass.) Journal. Hartwell Market.

There is no medicine prescribed by phy sicians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtue as Boschee’s German Syrup for severe Goughs, Colds settled on the breast. Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person alSicted, can get a Sample Dot tie for 1(1 cents and try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents. It has lately been introduced in this coun try from Germany, and its wonderful cures are astonishing every one that use it. Three doses will relieve any case. Try it. Sold j by E. B. Benson & Cos. One Hundred Thousand People will cheerfully testify to the won derful efficacy of Dr. Gilder's Liver Pills. They have been used for more than half a century, but it is only in the last few years that they have been brought prominently before the general public. And every day people are rejoicing that at last they have found a pill that exactly meets their wants. Headache, dpspepsia. constipation, indi gestion. pains in the side or back, and many other ailments disappear after taking the first dose of these pills. One dose of pills and a fife'w grains of quinine will effec tually cure chills and fever. Gilder's Liver Pills are ‘-old by E. B. BENSON A - CO. A CARD. STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, I Cot’vrr or Taik.
