AgrleultnrHl lU|>ort.
We an? indebted to Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens for a copy of the report of the
Commissioner of Agricult ore for the year
187*1. it is full of valuable information.
Nertou*.
We learn that a Mr. Grimes, of Mad
ison county. Ga., while rolling logs, one
day last week, was so badly hurt by over
lifting as to cause death in a few minutes.
NaleMlajr.
We would not have suspicioncd yester
day to have been Salcsday. if we had not
have known it. from the small crowd in
town. Everything was quite, trade dull,
and not a single public sale. No drinking,
and not even a horse swop.
Denth*.
Mrs. Wm. Ilaynes, living near the line
of Hart and Madison counties, aged about
seventy years, died on Sunday last, of pa
ralysis,
Mrs. Wm. Bennett, living in the upper
part of this county, died yesterday morn
ing.
A Stubbing Affray.
A serious difficulty occurred between
a white boy, Lemuel Hatcher, and a col
ored boy on Mr. John McMullan's planta
tion last week, which came near being fa
tal to the former. The negro stabbed
Hatcher in the face, the knife blade strik
ing the jaw bone, which warded it from
the jugular vein.
Ton ii Connell.
At a meeting of the Town Council on
last Monday night, it was ordered, that ex
ecutions be issued in ten days from that
date (April 2) against all who have not paid
their street duty for this year. Delin
quents had better see the Treasurer, J. \V.
Williams, or Marshal Dooly at once, and
ante up.
KurKiCHl Operation.
It will be remembered that our young
friend J. A. Gloarshot himself accidentally
some time back in the foot, the ball re
maining in his foot. On Monday Dr.
Mathews cut the ball out. Gloar display
ed great nerve and fortitude, and submit
ted to the carving operation without the
quivering of a muscle. He don't like
French br&ndy.
Connubial.
Married, at the residence of the bride's
mother, by Rev. Thomas Crymes, on the
evening of the 29th ult., Mr. Samuel
Webb, of Ilart county, and Miss. Fannik
Swift, of Franklin county. May no
clouds of adversity ever mar their happi
ness, but may their pathway through life
be strewn with fiowers and illumined with
the brightest rays of a smiling Heaven.
Myers A Marcus
Have a card in this issue. They are so
well known through this section that they
need no “putf” from us. Mr. Marcus
sold goods in Elberton for twenty years
and was noted for fair dealing and low
prices. They do the heaviest business in
their line of any house in Augusta. If
they have any fault it is in giving too much
indulgence to customers. Long may they
wave.
Col. P. K. Dnvnnt.
It will be of interest to many of our
readers to know that Col. P. E. Davant
has a very fine scoool at his new home in
Lawtonville, Burke County, Georgia. He
says the people are very kind indeed,
friendly and sociable. They have organ
ized a flourishing Sabbath School at that
place. We congratulate the people of that
section on having secured his valuable ser
vices. Georgia cannot boast of a better
teacher or a nobler.man.
S<‘ii nil re I ism.
Win. Estes, AlonzoJPrewitt and R. A.
Cobb, returning with wagons from Toccoa
a few days since, camped about twelve
miles this side. Someone set the leaves
on lire around the camp, and nearly burned
Cobb's wagon up, and damaged the other
wagons and harness. Wagoners will have
to sleep with a loaded pistol in one hand
and one eye open to keep the scoundrels
from burning up their wagons. We hope
some of them may be sent to sulphurdom
soon.
Another Alarm of Fire.
A few nights since, after the family of
Mr. John Snow had retired, his kitchen
was discovered to be on tire. It was only
by the most strenuous exertions that it was
extinguished. Had the kitchen burned the
dwelling and other houses would have fol
lowed. A negro girl had taken up ashes
that evening and left them in the kitchen.
This is the second time she has done this
trick, and she should be made more careful,
as the “ third tip ’’ is “out” in cat, aud
might be the same in house-burning.
Hail Route* Attain.
Of interest especially to those living at
Purker’s Store and Amandavillo.
It seems from the letter of Second As
sistant Postmaster General, received by
our last mail, that we cannot at present get
the route from Toccoa to Parker's Store
extended to this place. When Congress
meets again, which will he in June, we in
tend using our utmost endeavors to have
a route established from Toccoa to this
place, and from here to Amandavillo. For
the present, we would like to make ar
rangements with someone living near
Parker’s Store and Amandavillo to act as
agent for and deliver our paper each week
on the day of publication to these offices.
We think we can make it profitable to any
one who will do it. It will not require
more than half a day in each week, and
that will not be much in comparison with
the money made and the good done. If
this arrangement can he made, we have no
doubt hut that fifty new subscribers can
be had at each office. Let us hear at once
from those who would like to accept a
proposition of this sort. Come and learn
the terms.
A (iood Joke.
A couple of gentleman called on Mr.
Willis Harper, who has been suffering for
some time with a rising on his leg. Though
quite low, he seems to relish a joke, and
perpetrated the following on his worthy
comforters. After talking for some time
he said:
“ Well, gentlemen, I am so prostrated
that I find it necessary to use stimulants,"
and, pulling out a big black bottle from
under the quilts, continued: ‘“And want
you to take a social drink with me."
The gentlemen demurred a little, and
then arose, threw out their tobacco, and
one of them took the bottle, took a lusty
swallow, and handed it to his comrade,
saying : “ The distiller is making rapid im
provement, that is the best I have tasted
for some time.’’ The other gentleman
then took a “ swig " at the bottle, and lo !
he found it was nothing but water. They
both acknowledged the ‘“corn," although
there was no corn in it.

Methodi/tt Fast Day.
Tt should be remembered by the preach
ers and members of the Church in the
North and South Georgia Conferences that
next Friday has been set apart as a day of
fasting and prayer. The North Georgia
Conference designated the day without
giving any special direction as to the sub
jects for prayer. The South Georgia Con
ference, besides proclaiming a fast, pointed
out the following subjects for special sup
plication : For the young, for educational
interests of the Church, for the Missionary
cause, and for the universal outpouring of
the Holy Spirit.
Sew ( aril.
See card of Walter E. Fisher, with
Messrs. Crane, Boylston & Cos., Charles
ton, S. C. They are well known through
out the land as being a strong firm, com
posed of gentlemen. They keep the best
stock of dry goods to be found in their
city and will not be undersold. Mr.
Fisher has been with them many years and
they are fortunate in having such a man to
represent them. Good houses, represented
by such fishermen, will nccessarially suc
ceed.
A Kentucky Gentleman.
Spalding, of the wholesale shoe house of
Gramling, Spalding & Cos., of Atlanta,
dropped in upon us last week. lie is a
Kentucky gentleman, and a tine specimen
of that noble State. Fought through the
war on the side of our glorious “ Lost
Cause.” Deserves the patronage of our
merchants. \\ e have studied human na
ture and men for nearly fifty years—the
impression made upon us on first acquaint
ance with him was, if we had two souls
compressed in a mustard seed, would trust
him to carry it in his vest pocket. See
advertisment.

A. G. McCurry, Esq., has removed to

“Old 13." says he knew a man in S.

thing to eat. except what he got at log
rollings and harbacuea. Said he was stand

first mouthful he took, and heard it strike
the bottom of his shoes when it fell ! He
must have been a hollow inan.
We would state that the publication of
the grand jury presentments in this paper j
last year did not cost thirty dollars , as has
been reported. It cost eleven dollars. It
would take thirty inches to make a bill of
thirty dollars. Several of or patrons in
form us that they would like to see the
presentments. If a copy of them are fur
nished us. we will publish them gratis for
the benefit of our readers.
June apple i.mo is coming, when it does
you ought to see us at old Wins. Adam's
eating them, drinking cider and shooting
red headed peckerwoods. Wins, has but
one fault, sometimes he takes a drop too
much. He and all his children pay their
debts, and that covers a multitude of sins,
and if we should ever be left in charge of
Heaven’s Gate and Wins, knocked for ad
mission, you can bet your bottom dollar
we would let him in.
Some days ago a negro was arrested in
this County, and brought before a magis
trate for perjury. The defendant, failing
to receive much encouragement from his
council, waived his preliminary examina
tion by giving leg bail. He managed by
some premeditated design to get a building
between him and his guard. Nothing se
rious was thought of his business in that
direction, until his coat tail was seen float
ing in the air a mile distant, as he pushed
in the direction of the dual governed State.
Governor Hampton** March.
We receive from Ludden & Bates’ South
ern Music House, Savannah Ga.. a fine
March by the popular composer. E. Mack,
which is named in honor of Carolina’s
noble son Gov. Wade Hampton, and with
out doubt will have an extended sale
throughout the South. The publishers
have given it an elegantly designed title
page, with a life-like lithograph, which the
Governor's countless admirers will be de
lighted to obtain. Prof. Weigland. leader
of the famous Post Band at Charleston,
has arranged this March for Brass Bands
and it will soon be played generally by the
bands of the South. Copies for piano will
be for sale at all Music Stores. Price 40
cents.
Elegant Hair is woman's crowning
beauty. When it fades, she fades as well.
While it is kept bright, her personal at
tractions are still maintained. Ry preserv
ing the hair fresh and vigorous a youthful
appearance is continued through many
years. Those who grieve over their fading
hair turning gray too early should know
that Ayer’s Hair Vigor prevents it, and re
stores gray or faded hair to its natural
color. It is a clean and healthful prepar
ation. containing neither oil, dye. nor any
thing deleterious, and imparts to the scalp
what is most needed—a sense of pleasant
and delightful freedom from scurf or dand
ruff.— New Berne (N. C .) Times.

A colored gent stepped into Mr. Adams'
shoe shop the other day, and inquired :
“ Is you de barber?"
"Yes."
*“ Well. 1 believe I'll call in and git you
to shave me before 1 leave town."
*“ Oh. 1 can shave you now,” said James,
pleasantly, as he gathered the broom stick
and gently caressed him over the forehead.
The darkey got out of the door in a hur
ry. assisted by a pair of commission eights.
As the darkey moved off he was heard
to mutter—
“ Hat ain't no cihil rights shop, ahnah !"

A man of honor! What n grand title
that is! Who would not rather have it
than any that earth can bestow? It is
worth all the gold and silver in the uni- j
verse. He who merits it., wears a jewel
within his soul, and needs none upon his
bosom. *“ His word is as good as his bond.”
If there were no law in the land, one might
deal just as safely with him. He looks
you in the eye, says straight out the thing
he has to say, and he does unto others as
he would that others should do unto him.
And it is not only in business that the
man shows a right to his glorious title.
Who ever heard the man of honor betray
the little faults and follies (or big ones
either) of his friends, or speak slightingly
of his own wife's kindred? Who ever
knew him to really he unkind to the one
;he has sworn to love and protect? Who
j ever knew him to boast, of his conquests?
The man of honor is always a good son,
and a good brother, and when the time
comes, makes an excellent husband. No
woman need fear to promise to obey a man
of honor.
Like the Yankee razor seller, we have
only a few of the same kind left. They
may not he rich or celebrated, though they
often arc. but they are certain to he loved
and respected by all who know them. And
when you look into their bright fearless
eyes, eyes that never shun yours, having
never had need to fear the eye of mortal
man. you are pretty sure to recognize
them for what they are. if you have a soul
that is worth anything yourself.

The Baptist Church at Sardis has gone
to work aright. It has excluded some of
its members for intemperance, and some
for other unchristian conduct. They are
determined to put away the use of ardent
spirits, as a beverage, from her fellowship.
Is it not time that all of the Baptist,
Methodist, Presbyterian and other denom
inations should join hand in hand in ex
pelling this eating worm of the still from
their bosoms ? F.

Good Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia.
Lung Fever, Ac. Every family should
have a bottle of Roschee’s German Sy
rup. Don’t allow for one moment that
cough to take hold of your child, your fam
ily or yourself. Consumption. Asthma,
Pneumonia. Croup. Hemorrhages and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much
better to have it at hand when three doses
will cure you. One Dottle will last your
whole family a winter and keep you safe
from danger. If you are consumptive, do
not rest until you have tried this remedy.
