Tlipoo Vmp In Atlnntn. Wc overheard the following conversa tion a few days ago : a drummer said to an old merchant. “ I have been three years in Atlanta.” "Ah, then you are one of the old citizens there ; few men can sa}" they have lived three years in Atlanta. Almost sny can live a lifetime in three years in that fast, go-ahead city. Music in tin* ( hurrk. The organ in the Baptist Church last Sunday added very much to the exercises, and wc think will improve the singing a great deal. It is true that some are averse to instrumental music in tho Church, but they are certainly not attentive Bible rend ers, or they would know better. But in our enlightened community we suppose wc have no such ignoramuses. SuiHtnjr. Rev. 11. M.

What a pity such men should ever grow old.

IJi an's double-acting stone force pumps for deep or shallow wells, are the greatest comforts of the age. and are worth more to housekeepers than a dozen sewing ma chines. An agent put a pump in our well with the understanding that he would take it out in thirty days if not satisfactory, and although we never liked pumps, we would not be without this pump for the price of it every year. Kev. W. 1,. Fore is agent for this trulysvaluable pump. Heavy on Spouses. We clip the following good hit from the Keou'ee Courier: “Some business men would rather sponge on a country fence than pay a newspaper anything for adver tising, which is so true that it is enough to make a printer crack himself on the head with the “shooting stick ’’ or drown his “devil” in the ink keg. Some “business” men will walk through the mud a whole day with an old paint pot in their hands, daubing upon every board they some to : “gO To sMiThS foR Youß lArD,” when one soft dollar would add several more lines and put them in decent shape in any respectable newspaper in the country.

Air. J. R. Grubbs brought to our office a head of wheat plucked from a field of \V. R. Holland. Shoal Creek District, on the 22d inst. It is three inches long and full grained. That is what wc like to see— looks like old times. A. J. McMullau killed two wild turkeys last week, weighing 22 and 23 pounds.

A few drinks left off, or a few plugs of tobacco would pay it, thereby amusing, benefiting and enlightening your family, and teaching the young ones the right road to travel. Josh Billings says, “Ninety-nine people out of a hundred make a mistake in cutting of a dog's tail and throwing away the wrong end of it.” Marshal Dooley says people had better keep the end they want at home, as he intends to kill every one found on the streets.

A young lawyer in this town went to a party recently, and a young lady asked him if lie enjoyed himself. He replied : “ Oh, yes ; I had a h—l of a time !” “Sir ! what do you mean by addressing such lan guage to me?” “I didn't know it was any harm,” he meekly replied; “that's what all the boys say I” We met old Wins, on the streets a few days ago. He said, “ You have been wri ting about me.” lie then broke forth thusly : “ Let the righteous forsake their thoughts and lot s all return to our God, who if called on will have mercy and abundantly pardon. Then, let the back sliders return to their places as quickly as possible; let old things pass away and new ones come in; let us all look forward to that immortality that was predestinated to us before the foundation of the world.” (.coking over a Carolina paper to-day, wc only find Hampton's name 327 times. It would seem by that that all is getting quiet on the other side of the Savannah, and we hope to see something else in their papers than Hampton and Chamberlain— although we are great admirers of Hamp ton. and expect to cast our next vote for him for President of the Cnited States in 1880. 1 bit ing the Hampton excitement in Car olina. a well-known German in a town oh the other side of the river, was invited to address a nuts* meeting, lit arose and de livered himself thusly : ” 1 loves museek. mvvil’e—she loves museek!

A day or two since, a negro living on the plantation of Mrs. L. Adams, in a lit of spleen, threw a rock at a young and valua ble ox, striking one <*f its legs with such force as to break the bone. This is the second time lie has been guilty of this trick, having broken a cow's leg last year in the same manner. The severest punish ment is merited by such conduct. Jewelry.

They always k\4p a large stock of dry goods, fancy goods, clothing, Ac., and we know from long experience in dealing with them that they are letter A No. 1 in all respects, and Hart Bounty people ought to patronize them, if for no other reason than to benefit our handsome young friend 1. A. Madden, who is always ready to ac commodate bis Hart’County friends and treat them exactly right. An Old Wan's Vag-uric*. An old man, not a hundred miles from Hartwell, played the following tricks on a couple of boys : Stepping into a store, he picked up the cat. ami said to the clerk : “ I'll bet you my knife against yours 1 can make this cat say 4 fat bacon and collards * as plain as you can.” The bet was made, the old man shook the cat and made it squall, then handing it to the boy, said, “ it is now your time, 1 have made it say it as plain as ! can.” The boy looked blank and gave it up. He then bet his knife with another boy that lie could sit in the store and whistle him in bareheaded. The boy took the bet and went out. when the old man com menced whistling. The boy catne in hold ing his hat on bis head and claimed the bet. But the old man said he was bareheaded himself, and bad won. Upon an arbitra tion, the knife was given to the old man. Dvntlm.

The people of our town received a bad scare on last Sunday evening in this wise: Hr. K.horhart and wife drove out of town on their wav to Mrs. Stowers', and when about ii half mib from the village, Mr- Ebcrhnrl raised her parasol, which caused the horse to give a quick jump, breaking one of the traces .and causing the single tree to strike the animal'. Hank, 'l liis af frighted him so that he plunged and kicked violently, throwing Mrs. Eborliart between the hind wheel and body of the buggy. The Boctor then let go tluMwins and went to Mrs. KbcrharCs rescue. In tho mean time the horse had disengaged himself from the harness, and returned through the tow n at a break-neck speed, causing much alarm to our citizens, feat- being enter tained that the Doctor and his wife wen badly injured, if not killed. Quite a num ber went to the scene of action, but were agreeably surprised to tind, w ith the ex ception of a few scratches and bruises sus tained by Mrs. F.lierhart, a broken shaft and torn harness, all w ell. The horse was slightly lamed himself by bis tantrums. Moral—new harness and a buggy umbrella. UHotvi; \mv Muitr.
