Bridge* Minitli's Paper.
This great funny paper of the South has
been removed to Macon. We hope it still

We raise our hat and make our most po

We fell in love with it at a glance, it is so
neat and tidy—fragrant with the perfume

It is ably edited by Miss Annie Maria
Barnes (“ Cousin Annie ” of Sunny South),
and is well worth its price, 7~> cents per
annum. Long may it bloom. Published

Sew Jail A Certainty.
According to announcement, the contract
for building our new jail was let out to

In a Justice Court in this County a law

“Tornado, Uncle Sim.”

“The Sun, Uncle Sim.”
“Yes, dats him. Well, it says de wind

“ Not much —you must take dis niggah

Dentil ttt H. Clißiiiller,
This old and honored citizen died, on
Saturday last, at the residence of his son
in-law-, H. A. Teasley, in this County,
from a loathesome eating cancer. Mr.
Chandler was a model man in point of in
dustry and perseverance. His social and
moral qualifications were far superior to
the average men of our land, while his
whole life was that of exemplary piety.
Being devoted to the Church to which he
belonged, he proved his “ faith by his
w r orks.” having attended fifty consecutive
sessions of his Association. In his death
the Church has sustained a loss of a worthy,
useful and substantial member. Indeed,
he w r as a pillar in the Baptist Church in
this County and the Elijah of the denomina
tion m his Association. Where is the
Elisha upon w r hom his mantle shall fall?
We apprehend that there is no one to fill
his place in society and Church so well as
he. He bore his lingering affliction with
patience and Christian fortitude, being re
signed to his Master’s will. He died in the
triumph of the faith he had practiced, and
has gone to his reward.
Anderwoiiville Factory Yarn.
Mrs. William Estes desires us to state to
the people, that she has tried the yarn
made at the above Factory, that she finds
it vastly superior to any other, makes
finer cloth, and that it makes two yards to
the bunch more than any yarn-she ever
saw. If anybody in this country under
stands making cloth better than Mrs.
Estes, we would like to know who it is.
We congratulate Col. Harrison on such
satisfactory testimonials voluntarily given
from such reliable sources.

take it. Now they can get it the morning

To the Editors of The Six :
I hope it will not be presuming too much
to suggest to the Executive Committees of
the three Counties composing our Senato
rial District, to meet in Carnesville at an
early day to take into consideration the
propriety of each County sending one of
its own delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention. These three Counties have here
tofore rotated agreeably and to the satis
faction of all parties and all voters in the
election of a Senator. Let this good feel
ing still exist and continue with them.
Hart, Franklin and Habersham each know
their best men to fill this place. Let the
voters of each County elect their delegate,
and the other Counties respectively will be
content. Hart.

Hart County, Ga., April 9, 1877.
To the Editors of The Sun:
As the time for the election of Delegates to
the Convention is rapidly approaching, it is
high time that the people should look
around in our County for a suitable person
for whom to cast their votes.
At the solicitation, and by an expression
of a great many of the members of the
Democratic party of our County, Captain
John Peek has consented to run for that
office. Capt. Peek is one of our first citi
zens, and is a man of Stirling w orth and in
tegrity. lie is a native of North Carolina,
from where he served in the Mexican war;
then he served all through the last war as
a Captain, in which he was wounded, and
at the close of the war made his home w ith
us.
He is one of the foremost men in the
Democratic party, and one of the most
earnest workers in its ranks, and deserves
as much or more credit than any other
man in the County, in keeping down dis
sension and disorganization in the same.
He never has been an aspirant for, or
held any civil office, and he is now sought
by the people as a pure and honest man,
in whom the interests of the 31st District
and State will be in safe keeping.
Respectfully, 11.
ELBERTON ITEMS.
By Tlic Sun's .Spec in I 4'orrcspon<lcn t.
Elberton, Ga., April 9, 1877.
We had a tremendous heavy rain here
on yesterday (Sunday) morning, with con
siderable thunder and lightning, ft con
tinued raining at intervals all through the
day, and I suppose the water courses will
be out of lianks.
We have a court of some description in
session here almost every day, and some
times two or three running at the same
time.
By an act of the last General Assembly,
the jurisdiction of our County Court has
been extended to five hundred dollars in
all matters of tort and contract. This will
considerably increase the business of the
County Court and diminish that of the Su
perior Court, and will not only be more
expeditious, but much less expensive to
litigants, as we seldom ever have a jury in
the Court.
John Shannon, Joe Worley and Bob
Jones, three young lawyers of this place
are now displaying anew line of talent.
The law- not proving sufficiently remunera
tive to gratify their avaricious natures,
they have purchased a fine six dollar stal
lion in copartnership, from which invest
ment they calculate on a fine income. I
think they ride him around alternately.
We had the pleasure of meeting here, a
few days since, that clever and talented
young law-yer of Hartwell, A. G. McCurry.
He remained with us but a few hours,
being on a professional visit.
Two colored jail birds were delivered to
a guard of convicts from our jail on Satur
day last. One goes to the chain-gang for
five and the other for three years. The
guard expected to return by way of Dan
ielsville and take one of the same color
from that County who was sentenced for
twenty years.
From all 1 can see and hear, our fanners
have been very busy lately preparing their
lands nnd planting corn. There will, no
doubt, be more corn planted in this Couuty
the present year than any previous one
since the war. Another good sign of the
tunes is that Tery few of them are pur
chasing anything on a credit—not oven fer
tilizers, most of them making their own
fertilixers. The small grain crops have
greatly improved in appearance within the
last ten days, and at present promises a
tine yield. There is a large amount of
small grain sown in this County, and if it
should turn out well, it will be a great re
lief to many who are at present destitute
even of the means to get the necessary food
for themselves and their stock.
The people of Oglethorpe County have
had some serious troubles with the negroes
recently, but of this you have no doubt
seen the particulars published in the Echo
before now.
Old man “ Slow',” as Chedcl calls our
friend, 11. K. Gairdner, has just returned
from market, where he says goods are so
cheap that ho bought many more than he

Sunset, Ga., April 9, 1877.
To the Editors of The Sun :
I write on a threadbare subject, not one
in a hundred would read it if known. The
so-called bitters, sold through the country,
are making more drunkards than all the
bar-rooms and grog-shops. You are told
they strengthen and give an appetite, when
they only debilitate and leave the patient
with an awful drinkatitc. “Stolen waters
are sweet.” A French lady, on Holding a
glass of water up to the light, exclaimed.
“ Oh, if it only was a sin to drink it, how
delightful it would be. The largest por
tion of the liquid sold as gin, rum, whisky,
&c., by city dealers to country shops is so
doctored with poisonous drugs that any
man not copper-lined would soon burn out
by its use. In ante helium days, when
farmers were permitted to distil their grain
and fruit, there was some pure liquor.
Suicides, murders and sudden deaths were
hardly known then. Let every man, wo
man and child go to work to banish drunk
enness. There are an abundance of de
lightful beverages to be bad that do not
madden and destroy both soul and body.
God intended man to enjoy them, for if He
had intended him to drink only water He
would have made him to go on all-fours,
so as to have been handy to it.

The Atlanta Constitution.
Under its new management, Thk Atlanta Com-
BTITIJXION liM won for itself the title of the leading
Journal of the south. Its enterprise, during the re

to different portions of the eonntry, and it* aerie* of
Mpecial telegram* from Washington while the electo
ral commission was eng a ;ed in conau mating t'le fraud
that iilaciMl radicalism once mure in |awcr in our na
tional council*, are evidence conspicuous enough to
prove that- no expense will lie aim red to make Thk
Constitution not only a leader in the discussion of
public concern, but a leader in the dissemination of
the latest und most reliable news. There is no bet
tertime than inrw to subscribe for
A fresh and Viicormis .\e*pnpvr.
Albeit there bus been a uvaxi settlement of one of
the most diffte.nlt and dangerous problem* of luodpm
and federal politics, the discussion springing there
from and the results likely to ensue have lost nothing
of their absorbing interest. In addition to this, the
people of Georgia are now called upon to settle
Tlie Convention Uiiestloii,
and in discussion of this important subject jin which
Thk Constitution will take a leading parti every
Georgian is interested. If a convention is railed its
proceedings will find theirrarllest and fullest embodi
ment In the columns of Tiik. Constitution, and this
fact alone will make the paper indispensable to every
citizen of the state. To lie brief.
Tlic Atlanta Dully Constitution
will endeaver, by all the means that the progress of
modern journalism has made possible ami necessary
to bold its place as a leader of southern opinion and
as a purveyor of the latest news. Its editorials will
be thoughtful, timely and vigorous—calm and argn
mentave in their methods and thoroughly southern
and democratic in their sentiments. Its news will
be fresh, reliable and carefully digested. It will bo,
