LOCAL AFFAIRS. DISSOLUTION OF COPARTNERSHIP. The Firm of Belch eh & McGill is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All persons indebted to the I' irm are earnestly requested to come forward and make immediate settlement. Ihe busi ness of the Firm must be wound up. It. Edmund Belcher, John H. Mcgill. 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, E. B. Benson & Cos., J. H. McGill. Quarterly Meeting:. The first Quarterly Meeting for the Hart well Circuit having gone by default. The Presiding Elder, Rev. A. G. Worley, has kindly consented to hold a call meeting on the 23d instant, at the M. E. Church in Hartwell. Let there be a full attendance of the official board. Religions. Rev. J. W. Baker, preached at the M. E. Church last Sabbath, an old fashion spiritual sermon, which was edifying to his many admirers. Mr. Baker was in charge of the Hartwell circuit in the years 1871-2. His pastoral visits, social meetings, and his practical pious walk, left indellible marks of good in this community. Hon. Ueorgf Seaborn. This gentleman, one of the oldest and best citizens of Pendleton, S. C., died yes terday. He will be buried, with masonic honors to-day at Stone Church. Mr. Sea born was the father of our friend B. E. Sea born, and father-in-law of Col. J. B. E. Sloan, of Charleston. He leaves many relatives and a large circle of friends to monrn his death. Personal. The card of B. E. Seaborn, represent ing Hart & Cos., of Charleston, one of the oldest and best hardware and agricultural implements houses in the South, will be found in this week's paper. We have known Seaborn ever since he was big enough to crack corn. He Jis of the best “ Old Carolina ” stock on both sides, and could not do a mean trick if he was to try. Our Sunday School. This is a live institution. There are seventy-five regular attendants, most of whom are children under 12 years of age. There are brilliant young men and ladies whose future prospects are the more bright by having the moralizing advantages of the Sabbath School. We would suggest to the Superintendent the propriety of inaugura ting in the School a Bible class for older persons. Journalistic. Rev. John A. Shivers has connected himself as associate editor with the War renton Clipper, One by one the clergy men of the various denominations have be come connected with the secular press, un til there is a large number now actively en gaged in wielding their influence—we hope for good—through the mighty power of the press. We have a chaplain on our edito rial staff, also. The Clipper is a good pa per—success attend it. The Convention. We will possibly have a Constitutional Convention—or at least elect delegates whether we do or not. We wish merely to announce, by way of parenthesis, that if there are any patriots in this election dis trict who are willing to immolate their lives upon the altar of their country (for the pal try sum of 87 per day, of course), don’t hesitate to let the fact be known. We have also an inward bubbling patriotism and de sire to help you, and will do so through our columns, for the sum of $5.00, the usual price for announcing candidates. Strangle. Some time ago, J. C. Taylor, of this County, while cutting up the sill of an old cabin for stove wood, found a copper cent imbedded in the middle of the sill. There was no opening for it to have been placed in this strange saving bank, and the ques tion is how did it get there ? The copper is so old and cankered that the date of coin ing cannot be deciphered. Strange as the above may seem, and rather corobarative, a gentleman of unimpeachable veracity m this place informs us that some years ago he and his brother, while cutting up a large tree, found a lice bat imbedded in a like manner in the tree with no place of ingress or egress. This satisfies us that the whale did swallowed Jonah! They Didn’t Know Where to Go. The square was thickly sprinkled with colored people yesterday, who came in to cast their vote for Senator. A revenue collector by tJy*-iKTWo oFAYTtriuiore. passed throughtMsCounty last official and uifofficial business, spad scattered cir larrfTsetting forth Martin R. Archer, of Hioll ConiAy^had been nominated by the Rcpul means for Congress for the Ninth District, and that the Democratic party being divided, his election was cer tain. Tickets were also distributed with the circulars bearing this inscription : “Ninth District. Election March 13, 1877. For 45th Congress, Republican Nom inee. Hon. Martin R. Archer, of Hall County.” This piece of business was done with great secresy. The motive is plain—the Republicans needed vote * from other Dis tricts. Whittimore forgot to tell the col ored voters where to go to cast the tickets, consequently the Archer’s bow will be broken—the arrow will not reach its mark.

Considerable hail fell in this vicinity on Thursday night. The mumps are reported in town—mind how you drink vinegar. Marshal Dooley is having faithful, good work done on oar streets. Judge Pottle is coming next week—let evil doers keep a sharp lookout. Scott is beautifying the residence of Mr. John Brown with his paint brush. A certain merchant of town is improv ing his spare moments by studying law. The Hartwell minstrels are preparing to give an entertainment during courtweek. Give us a little bigger subscription list and we promise you a big paper after a little. Encourage home enterprise. We need your assistance in sustaining our County paper. Our city fathers have had the shade trees on the public square trimmed, which is a decided improvement. See change in advertisement of E. B. Benson & Cos. They will sell goods on time to prompt paying customers. W. H. Stephenson will accept thanks for a specimen of fine cigars. He has the John Hancock, Unconquerable, Flor Fina and De Ilabanas. The Hartwell, Sun has taken a good place among its contemporaries, and we wish it a long existence of brilliant pros perity.—Elberton Gazette. The rapid growth of our town has neces sitated the opening of several back streets, in order that our citizens may have unob structed passway to their new homes. This is a move in the right direction. The llartwrll Sun has always been an ably edited journal, and has ever ranked first-class among our exchanges.— Wil liamsburg Republican. A firm in this town, say they have paid five hundred dollars in the last five years for advertising, and that it has made them at least five thousand dollars profit. Pretty good for a little village, wedged in be tween two rivers, with no railroad and forty miles from anywhere. Hartwell Market. Hartwell, Ga., March 14. 1877.

Dr. Jas. L. Gilder was a noted physician in South Carolina years and years ago. Prob ably some of our oldei citizens recollect his fame, if not the man. He died a loner time ago, but left a rich legacy to bis people, in the form of his celebrated Gilder’s Liver Pills. 1 f you sutler from headache, bilious ness, chiiis and fever, giddiness, or any tiling else, two or three of these pills taken at hed time will relieve you at once.

Scales a note on Thomas Stowers before the war for one hundred and four dollars and endorsed the note. Scales sued Stowers and failed to" get it, since the war. The following copy of receipt will explain itself. J. B. BENSON. [COPY.] 1877, March 12th. Received of J. B. Benson eighty-nine dollars and thirty-eight rent*, in full of all demands of any kind whatever against said J . B. Benson, or Benson & Justice, up to date in full. (Signed.) J. W. SCALES. A CARD. STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, ) County of Tate. J Wt\ the undersigned, citizens of Tate County, Mississippi, have been acquainted with I)r. W. A. Skelton ever since (or nearly so) he came to the State, and never knew anythin}; against him as a gentle mail or business-man—always a man of energy, and followed any business ho nndertook with ail his might. Worked hard and paid his debts—novel bankrupted, nor tried in an. - way to get out of a just debt. Left here in the interest of his Patent Tomb stone business, and we would like to have him among us again ; feeling that we had a valuable addition to society. All things to the contrary of this we think is false. The patentee of the tombstone lives in this County, and frequently visited our town where Skelton then lived, and Skelton was and had been in the Tomb stone business for some time and we never heard of him being charged of selling without legal authority nor of any suits being brought against him for dam ages.
