LOCAL AFFAIRS. 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. A Miinlchl Trent. In the March number of the Southern Musical Journal , published by Ludden & Bates ’ Southern Music llonse, Savannah. Ga., wc find a charming new song chorus, '* T.me may Steal the Roses, Darling,” by Chas, I). Blake, which is destined to be come one of the few really popular melo dies of the U. S. Next comes the *‘Song of the Glen.” instrumental, by the veteran composer E. Mack, and then another de lightful song by 11. S. Perkins, k * The Deep Old Well,” with chorus for mixed voices, or quartette, which once heard will linger long in memory. These pieces pub lished in sheet music form cost over $1,25. which is just the subscription price of the Journal fora whole year. Subscribers also receive SI.OO worth of Sheet Music of their own choice as a premium. Send a three cent stamp for a specimen copy and see what a cheap way this is of buying music. Ludden k Bates, publishers, Savannah, Ga. 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. Nun Ray*. April fool ! Apple blossoms. See Sheriff's sale. No more cold weather. Listen to the mocking birds. Green peas half a foot high in town. Read the coin in unicat ion from Florida. A man's fiddle has been posted on a tree in the lower part of this County, ‘“for sale for taxes." Chapman says he killed a snake the other day as large as his leg. IV hat a small leg Cicero must ha\e ! The Klberton Gazette will issue a mam moth advertizing sheet in May. Spread yourself. Jimmy Twain, alius Hillings. We understand there are several cases of measles in the lower part of this County, in the neighborhood of Cokoshurv Church. Our citizens will he rejoiced to know that Henry Woods. Esq., has moved hack to his suburban villa. He is erecting a frame house. A gentleman in our town had an organ that went ““ poo !—poo !" Prof. Cartmall made it go ““ tinkle, tinkle—wankyitey winklc—clang !" Lee Linder commences the practice of law in the right way —by advertising. He is a good scholar, a righteous judge, and a promising lawyer. We learn, through private sources, that Augusta is going to break dirt on the Au gusta & Knoxville Railroad at an early day. We hope it won't be, as heretofore —wind ! A. G. McCurry, Esq., has removed to the house formerly occupied by Mr. R. E. Belcher. He has enclosed a garden with a neat picket fence, and has otherwise im proved the place. “Old 13." says he knew a man in S. C., forty years ago, who never had any thing to eat. except what he got at log rollings and harbacuea. Said he was stand ing by him once at a table, and noticed the 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. Itwrbrr-MiiM. 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 !" t llnrtnell Scliool Girl's Composition. 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. Marie. Com m iiiileal ion. 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. Hartwell Market.
