In a Justice Court in this County a law yer asked a witness : “ How old is this man ?” “ I can't ’zactly say.” “You ‘can’t ’zactly say,’ mimicked the lawyer, “ well can't you give an idea?” “ Oh, yes, I can give an idee ; lie's jest a leetle older than you is.” “ How do you know that he is older than me?” “ ’Case, he's cut his wisdom teeth, and you haven’t. Old Uncle Simeon stepped into a black smith shop near Hartwell a few days since, and the blacksmith accosted him with : “ Well, Uncle Sim. what’s the news !” “ Why, da ar< habin’ de bery debil to pay in dis country. One ob dem teara ways, I believe da call it—” “Tornado, Uncle Sim.” “Yes, dats what de paper said what I’ve been reading dat da print in Hartwell—de Moon or Sun, I forgit what da call it—” “The Sun, Uncle Sim.” “Yes, dats him. Well, it says de wind come so strong it blowed away more peo ple and more houses—whew! I tell you, it blowed two mules up in de top ob a tree, and da is a bangin’ dar till yit, alive and kicking!” “ Come, Uncle Sim, you are going it strong.” “ Hat’s what de paper said, it was blow ing bery strong. I golly, it’s just blowin’ five or six States away, down in Georgia somewhar. Why, it blowed a niggah’s mouf open so wide dat you could count ebery drink he has taken for de last six months !” “ Well, Uncle Sim, just catch hold of the bellows and blow my fire for me a few’ minutes.” “ Not much —you must take dis niggah fora tornado,” said Uncle Sim as he went out of the door. 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. Malli Again. To-morrow, we send The Sun out by our prk.Ue mail, which will supply Aman daville, Engle Grove, Ford’s Store and Parker’s Store the day nfter publication each week. This will be an expense to us wliioli cannot roium anything unless we increase our subscription list several fold at thoso offices. This arrangement does away with the excuses thnt have been of fered heretofore for iitfl taking The SuX. Many have said that if they could get it the same week of publication they would take it. Now they can get it the morning nfter publication. Send in your subscrip tions at once, nnd give the enterprise the encouragement it deserves. Owing to the heavy rains, the Athens and Andurson mails have failed to put in an appearance this week. Coin in ii it lent vd. 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. Franklin Register and Toccoa Herald please copy. Coin in ii ii lent ion. 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 intended. SILUS. ■<■ ('•nimunirHUd. 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. Yours, &c ., Sweet Cider.

Under its new management, Thk Atlanta Com- BTITIJXION liM won for itself the title of the leading Journal of the south.
