Wc address this especially to those with
whom we have traded anywhere. We have
ground at the mills of many of you a long
time, and we are gratified that some of our
friends are showing their appreciation of
us, and at the same time enhancing their
own interests by advertising in The Sun.
Our terms for the Spring and Summer,
especially, will be low. If you want a
continuance of trade in N. E. Georgia, say
so through The Sex. You cannot find
“ in these parts ” a better advertising me
dium. Its circulation, already large, is
rapidly increasing.
If you want our trade, let your card be
in The Sun to remind us of your wishes.
We do not ask you to give us a big adver
tisement if you don’t want to, but must
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 Incident!).
During court week, a negro came to town
to consult a lawyer and meeting an attor
ney the following conversation took place
between them : Darkey—Moss ll—, is dar
any law fur nigger women fighting on Sun
day at de Church ? Lawyer—No, there is
no law for it in the w r orld—go home and go
to work. 2d darkey—Dar ! I golly, I told
you dar war no law for dat!
Two young men w r ere charged with as
saulting and battering an old lady, by run
ning their buggy over her in the road. The
defendants were cleared by the following
irrefutable argument to the jury by coun
sel : “ Gentlemen of the Jury, the truth is
that the old lady on the horse, and these
boys in the buggy, passed and repassed
each other in the road so often, that she
got into a state of hilucenation and conclu
ded that the horse she was riding had
kicked her out of the saddle !”
Another lawyer advocated the rights of
his client, who was charged with fraud, in
the following lucid language: “May it
please your Honor, mere inadequacy of
consideration is no ground for rescinding
a contract —when couj/led by itself /”
In a case where a certain individual was
charge with using obscene language m the
presence of a female, his attorney took the
following invulnerable position : “ Gentle
men of the Jury, the indictment charges
one set of language, and the evidence
proves another set of language, consequent
ly you will have to acquit this defendant.
An officer of this County asked Solicitor
Reese, last week, if he could indict a man
for using appropriate language. The Sol
icitor said he hardly thought so.
Still They Come.
J. C. Carter. Wholesale Grocer, Atlan

card, which will be seen among the new
advertisements this week. We have dealt
considerably with him. and can recommend
his as “A No. I’' house. His prices are
low and goods first-class. If you once
buy a bill from him you are sure to do so
again. We take pleasure in recommending
him to our merchants. He shows his ap
preciation of our County by giving encour
agement of the right sort to its paper. A
worthy example, Mr. Carter, and we hope
our business men will show their appreci
ation in n way that you will like.
Kvmnrkiible Orrnrmiff.
We have just heard of one of the strang
est incidents probably known to history.
It seems that a farmer by the name of
Francis Massey, living about three miles
andahalffYom Hurt well, was in his field
plowing, one day last week while his wife
was assisting in hoeing. The wife left her
child, about thirteen months old, at the
end of a row while she howl around. On
returning—horrible to relate —she discov
ered a large black snake coiled around her
child, with one of its hands down the snake's
throat. With true motherly affection, she
seised the child, not caring for the snake,
when the snake uncoiled its hold and drop
ped off - . With a scream the wife summon
ed her husband, who dispatched his snake
ship in short order. It measured some
thing over five feet in length. The child’s
life w as nearly gone, and in a few minutes
more, no doubt, would have been entirely
extinct: but we are happy to state that it
has entirely revived.
We have heard of some men leaving black
snakes unmolested, because they catch
rats, but when they get to catching child
ren. we think it high time they were made
short work of. This writer believes in
killing everything in the shape of a snake.
—Hartwell Messenger June 1 at, 1 SCI.
A strange fatality seems to have hung
over this youth, which finally culminated
in his death in the following tragical man
ner, on Sunday March 2d, 1873 : His father,
who is said to have been very cruel to him,
ordered him to cut down a tree fora squir
rel, which the boy declined to do. having
been taught by a pious teacher and his
mother to regard the Sabbath. But his
father compelled him to obey him. The
tree was cut down, and in its descent felled
the boy to the earth, injuring him so se
verely that he died in four hours. The im
pression of his form remains plainly visible
to this day. and, strange to say, nothing
will grow on the spot. The father has
since forsaken his wife, taken up with a
disreputable woman, and left the country.
The mother, who is said to be a good wo
man. still lives in this County, and is doing
better than she ever did with her faithless
husband.
Cards.
It wili be seen by card in another column,
that our energetic townsman, \V. Y. Hol
land, is traveling for J. \V. Goldsmith,
Grocer and Commission merchant. Atlanta,
and we know' that it is a good, reliable
house or he would have nothing to do with
it. He will be pleased to fill any order in
his line at bottom prices and with prompt
ness. Give him a trial.
See law card of John T. Osborn, Esq.,
Elberton. He is a line man and a good
law'yer. It is said that he is a candidate
for the Constitutional Convention .and we
think he can beat the race, and if elected
w f ould do honor to his County and State.
S. N. Carpenter, Esq., flings his banner
to the breeze and announces his services
and attention to those needing legal advice,
which he is fully capable of fulfilling to

No Mails.
Wc had no mail Saturday, which is the
day we get our heaviest mail. The carrier
passed through Sunday, but did not stop.
Mail carriers have generally done as they
please through this section, and it is get
ting time somebody was reported. This
morning we go to press without being able
to give the latest news, as the mail from
Anderson is water-bound, and we can hear
nothing from Athens. There is a better
day coming they say, and we hope it is not
far off. When we get the routes extended
that we are making efforts for, we will be
some better olf.

Rev. W. L. Fore is doing good work.
He quenches your thirst by furnishing the

subscription to The Si x, he feeds your
mind with the best food that can possibly
be procured anywhere, and he is ever en
gaged in breaking to souls the Bread of
Life. Since all of his duties are so praise
worthy, we hope he will receive the libe

Alarm of fire.
Some consternation and excitement was
caused by the alarm of fire in town on
Wednesday night. It turned out to be the
chimney of Mr. Williford's burning out.
The blaze was considerable, and the sparks
showered bountifully, but the shingles
being damp, no harm was occasioned other
than the scare.

We will, of course, be thankful for all
favors extended to them. We are always
ready and willing to take subscription at
our office.
Our h Solicitor.
Solicitor Reese has won golden opinions
here from his suavity and gentlemanly
bearing towards all with whom he came in
contact. We heard a gentleman say he
was Vy him like a little four year old girl
who was at Toccoa Falls on her first visit.
After looking some time, site said to her
tnnma : " Don’t you wish we had it at
home?” He wished we had Reese for our
own in Hartwell.
Take Notice.
Wc are requested to say that J. D.
Welch has retired from the pump business
entirely, and has no connection with the
business in Hart, Elbert, Wilkes or Ogle
thorpe Counties, and that Rev. W. L.
Fore has been appointed selling agent in
his stead by the regularly authorized agent,
Mr. A. L. Welch, of Anderson, S. C. If
you want a most excellent pump, just ap
ply to the agent.
