rapidly increasing.
if vou want our trade, let your card be

We do not ask you to give us a big adver

have one of some size.
Now don’t forget us. if you want to be
remembered when we order goods. We
send copies of this paper to many of our
friends, but more particularly to those
from whom we expect an advertisement.
Do not consider us beggars, but believe
that what we ask you to do will be to your
interest.
Court Week.
Quite a large number of people arc i.i
attendance, and up to this time the best of
order prevails. The “swopping ground ”
presents the same attractions, and the
“ Georgia Scenes ” still remain true to na
ture.
The Supreme Court assembled Monday,
His Honor, Judge Pottle, presiding, and
Sol. Gen. Reese at his post.
This last named officer is anew appointee,
but is an able and dignified Solicitor, and
the State is as as well represented as she
could be by any lawyer of our acquaint
ance. Criminals will take due notice there
of and govern themselves accordingly.
The visiting bar is about the same as
usual, we note in attendance: Messrs.
Robt. Hester, E. P. Edwards, John P.
Shannon, John T. Osborne, J. N. M or ley
and S. N. Carpenter, of Elberton; J. D.
Mathews and Samuel Lumpkin, of Lexing
ton ; B. F. Camp, of Carnesville.
W. G, W. White, Foreman -Grand
Jury, and M. F. Adams, ltaliff.
On Monday there were several cases con
tinued and but one tried, the case of Mrs.
F,. 11. Carter vs. M. Johnson, action for
words, in which the jury returned a ver
dict of S2OO damages.
Tuesday morning the Court was engaged
in the trial of J. M. Bradley, Executor,
vs. James Allen, et. al.—verdict for the
defendant. The afternoon was consumed
in trying the case of Ilenry David vs. Ihos.
T. Adams—verdict for defendant for S7.Go.
Several eertioraris were disposed of.
Tuesday morning, Messrs. Lee Linder
and Hiram A. David applied for admission
to the bar. Their examination was entire
ly satisfactory and indeed creditable, and
they were complimented by the Judge.
Among the prominent visitors in attend
ance upon Court, we notice Col. Rich, of
the Georgian , Capt. McCarty, of the El
berton Gazette , Gen. John D. James, ol
Elberton ; Dr. J. L. Turner, and our young
friends Joe Turner and Willie Saddler.

On Saturday morning, Mr. Thomas \ .
Skelton was cleaning up the storeroom in
order that he might have room lor a large
lot of shoes, harness and leather which ar
rived that evening. In lifting a trunk that
was on the bottom shelf, he discovered a
“ pilot ” snake, coiled for a Strike. Skel
ton has never been particularly noted as a
jumper, but on this interesting occasion he
jumped with greater rapidity and higher
than any man has ever done in this town,
without weights. Thomas went out and
hired “ Boss,’’ who had on a high pressure
of steam, and consequently snake proof, to
kill the snake and move every barrel, box
and everything else, while he stood on the
beam of the scales with a four pound
weight in each hand, valiantly determined
to “ hold the fort ” or perish in the attempt.
He has been trying to comb his hair down
ever since. That fright has knocked the
curl out of it for all time to come. Just
here we would call attention to the adver
tisement of J. W. Ayers & Cos., who will
barter boots, shoes and leather for hides.
They do not wish any snake skins, however.
Dr. Willie Ayers, the junior of this thriv
ing firm was in our office yesterday, and
we would state for the benefit of the ladies
that his health is excellent.
Messrs. Childs, Nickerson * Cos.,
[Of Athens, keep anything you need in the
(hardware line. They have always sold
fcheap and now are selling at “ hard-pan
prices. So if you want good goods at the
lowest figures give them a call. They are
liberal gentlemen, and will always treat
you right. This is our experience, and we
have tried them a long time.

Spring chickens are once more upon the
market, and the price opened lower than
usual. They bring only 10 cents a dozen

A nice lot of lawyers attending Court.
The clever ones who haven't already done
so will insert their cards in The Sun, so
their names will be familiar with us all by
the time they come again.
Dr. Skelton, although anew- hand at the
business, has proven his ability to run a
first-class Irotel. His hotel is very liberally
patronized, and fare excellent—everything
the market affords. That's right, Doctor,
fix up their teeth, and then give them
something to masticate.
The popular Bobo House is being exten
sively patronized this week. The bill of
fare is excellent— fresh shad, turkey, roast
pig, in fact everything the inner man feels
desirous of encompassing. His guests are
of the kind that require much brain food—
hence the unusual demand for fish.
W. E. John won.
of Richmond County, says “ Old 8,,” was
never out of his place day or night during
the session of the Legislature, and always
voted right. He has been preaching for 10
years, without pay; married and buried
more people than anybody ; only weighs
98 pounds ; nearly as hard looking a case
as “ Old B.” All things are possible with
God—he could make a better man than
Johnson, but up to this date never did.
Death*.
An infant girl of Robert and Sarah Gaines
died suddenly Saturday last.
Robert Berryman died at the residence
of his mother, Mrs. Sarah Berryman,
Madison County, near Franklin Springs,
on the 17til inst., with typhoid pneumonia.
He was an exemplary young man and gave
evidence to his sorrowing mother of his
transition to the land of the blest.
W. Jnniiiff A- Cos.
We call attention to the advertisement of
W. Jennings & Cos.. 38 Decatur street,
Atlanta, Ga., dealers in sash, doors, blinds,
mantels, builders’ hardware, paints and
window glass. This is a good house, and
sells at remarkably low figures. Those
who are in need of anything in their line
cannot do better than to order from them.
We have sold their goods, and they have,
always given perfect satisfaction.
Judge I'ottle.
The re-appointment of E. 11. Pottle to
the Judgeship on the Northern Circuit was
hailed with pleasure by all lovers of
liberty and honest administration of law.
Judge Pottle appears on his second term
in his usual health and vigor. He is an
able Judge, has a keen perception in law,
mild in his expression and affable in man
ner. yet with becoming dignity—his charge
to the Grand Jury was clear, able and im
pressive.
Ktitllv Kitten.
Walter, a little son of Mr. George Bai
ley, of this County, while playing with a
savage yard dog, on Sunday last, was
seized by the treacherous brute and thrown
to the ground. The fangs of the dog tore
about four or five inches of the scalp oil’of
the boys’ forehead and crown, inflicting a
ghastly and painful wound, besides other
severe bites and bruises, before the poor
little fellow could be rescued. The dog
actually devoured the child's scalp. Not
withstanding all this, the child is not dan
gerously wounded, and under the skillful
treatment of Dr. Eberhart is doing finely.
The biter " bit the dust.”
Pcrsmial.
We had a pleasant call from Dr. D. 0.
Osborne, of Franklin County, this week.
It will be seen that he has been announced
as a candidate for the Constitutional Con
vention through our columns. The Doctor
is well informed, an honest citizen, and if
elected, would do everything in his power
to advance the interests of his country.

Ningulnr Fire.
One day last week, Mr. Freeman, who
was hauling a load of goods from Athens,
met with a strange accident. He had
camped as usual, but says he left no fire
burning when he retired. He was aroused
by the crackling of flames and found his
wagon enveloped with fire. He says that
it was the act of an incendiary, and that lie
saw him run off, when he jumped out of
bed. His wagon was considerably burnt,
but the heaviest loss was sustained by E.
B, Benson <fc Cos„ for whom Freeman was
hauling, they having had about $l5O worth
of shirting and checks consumed. Wag
oners should be extremely careful about
fire when camping, especially when the
weather is so windy as it is this season of
the year, one little spark could destroy
hundreds of dollars’ worth of goods. In
this case, fortunately, the fire was arrested
in time to save a portion of the goods.
Public Atltlre**.
Hon. Thos. Crymes addressed the citi
zens of Hart County in Courthouse yester
day, urging reasons why the people
should vote for a Convention. Ilis speech
was a good one. Points well taken and
clearly defended, lie held that State aid
to railroads and indiscriminate issuing of
bonds should be prohibited by constitu
tional law; that fraudulent outstanding
bonds should be put to rest; the old jury
system in magistrates courts should be re
stores! ; the free school system should be
remodelled—as it is, neither economy nor
justice in its practical workings; that the
homestead should lie judiciously modified;
and geological boards, bug-ological boards
and Doctor-ological boards should be pro
hibited by constitutional law.
Mr. Crymes acquitted himself well.
