local affairs. Another Mall The mail from Carnesvillc to Elbcrton now goes down on Wednesdays instead of Thursdays as heretofore. So the offices supplied by our private route on Thursdays will hereafter be supplied on W ednesdays —the day of publication. This puts us to some inconvenience, but we hope our friends at Elbcrton, Amandaville, Eagle Grove, Bowersvillc, Ford's Store and Parker's Store will show their appreciation by adding still more to our subscription list at these places. Offices above Bowers ville on the Elberton and Carnesvillc route will be supplied Thursdays. Every week brings us from the above offices new names, which we of course are glad to see. At Eagle Grove, our friend S. T. Fleming is doing us a good work in the way of getting new subscribers. Will not Postmasters at other offices see if they can't help us some in the same manner ? Fire. On last Sunday, a negro woman’s house near Daniel's Ferry, was burned. Every thing in the house was destroyed. ltev. W. P. Smith. At the M. E. Church on Sunday, read and explained the general rules of the Society in a very satisfactory manner to his hearers. Mr. Smith is a great favorite with our people ; but we fire afraid to say much in his favor, for fear those in author ity over him might send him to Fannin or the Okelinokee Swamp next year. Kcw Baud Wagon. Hartwell was made happy a few days ago, by a serenade from the String Band, drawn in their new wagon (Dr. Skelton's double-seated buggy) by a fine span of steers, harnessed like horses. The music was good and all seemed to enjoy it, even to the Oxen. Ah tMMg ns (lie Lamp Molds Out to Burn. Sarah Cox, aged BG, was baptized at Falling Creek Church, Elbert County, on the 6th inst., by ltev. G. M. Campbell. What a blessed Savior is ours to receive the repenting sinner even at the eleventh hour ! Crops. The wheat crop promises better than any year sinceMhe war. Spring oats are doing finely; fall sewing, rather thin—having been killed out by the hard winter. Cot ton growing rapidly, with a good stand. Corn looks well and grows fast. The pros pect for an abundant fruit crop was never better in this County. Every bush and tree that bears fruit or nuts is landened. With industry and economy, nothing can prevent poor folks and poor stock from get ting fat another year. Luck. E. B. Benson & Cos., bought a donkey from a negro, paying for it in goods, and thinking it a bad investment turned it out to grass. Monday, they received an order from a gentleman in Charleston, who saw by their advertisement that they were deal ers in “ everything except liquor, playing cards and tombstones,” for a donkey. The “little beast” will be shipped immediately. And now their clerks stand behind the counter and hail their customers with : “ Let me wrap you a first-class Jackass !” Another Little Girl Writes us from Pleasant Ilill Academy: Our School is still flourishing. It num bers thirty. We are still progressing rap idly in the Spencerian system. The two little boys that were absent last week have returned. Little Anna Johnson he?.ds the minor geography class. Alfred Teasley, the dictionary class. I am glad to state that Moses McCurry, who was sent to the Asylum not long since, is improving, and I hope will soon be restored to his right mind. Nora. Personal. W. 11. Terrie, from the Wholesale Drug House of W. IT. Brown & Bro., Balti more, dropped in upon us last week. We always buy a bill from him, and would if he were to come every week, they sell drugs and medicines cheap as any house in the United States. lion. C. 11. Sutton, of Clarksville, can didate for the Convention, visited our sanc tum last week. The Judge is an old law yer of ability, and stands high as an hon est, upright man, and would ably represent this District in a Convention for making a new Constitution, which in all probability will remain for the next fifty years. Our readers will see his announcement in this issue. S. H. Mosely, of Toccoa, who is also a candidate for the Convention from this Dis trict paid us a visit during the week he is a genial clever fellow with an extensive ac quaintance through the District, and will be hard to beat. Nun Bays. Linen dusters. A steer ran away with a buggy Monday, and broke the shafts. Coirardly, John M. Pressuell cuts beautiful stencil plates for 50 cents. Ink and brush. Rowland Temples had his foot badly bruised Monday, by a heavy sill. Silly! The Hartwell Steam Saw Mill has built the first railroad in the County. It has a trestle over ten feet high. Rowland Hickman killed a wild turkey last week, weighing *27 pounds. His beard was I*2 inches long—the turkey's not Hick’s. Some of the workmen employed to build the Hartwell jail arrived here yesterday. They will commence their work immedi ately. Ex-President U. S. Grant, leaves Phila delphia in the steamship Indiana to-morrow for Europe. We hope to secure his servi ces as war correspondent to our paper (?) He nas a military turn of mind, and judg ing from his speeches, his communications would be short, and to the point. We saw some beautiful wood carving, done by Fletcher Kay on the front doors of W. R. Stephenson’s house. Few boys of his age can work successfully at three different trades—and then to see hin walk ing with the ladies, you would think he had just popped out of a band-box. The following conversation was heard on the street after lamplight: No. 1. I will pack up my trunk and go to h—l. No. 2. Did you sav you were going to h—l? No. 1. Yes; is that any of your busi ness? No. 2. No; but as I am not going there 1 thought I would like to send a message by you ! ’Tis said that since Bridges Smith's Paper has been removed to Macon that the citi zens don't do anything without laughing. For instance, a man in his dying moments was asked by the minister if he could do anything for him. His reply was, “ Read Bridges Smith's Paper a little, and then give me a good old fashioned hymn.” The minister complied. The minister read a little and got to laughing—the tearful mo ther-in-law got to laughing, and finally the dying man could contain himself no longer, and crying “ Good—by jingo !” burst into a peal of laughter, and sank back dead, with the corners of his mouth stretched to his ears. Now, we don't believe this ; but if it is so, we don’t think it is right for Bridges Smith, John Smith, or any other man, to distract a dying man’s mind so he can’t attend to his business of dying de cently and respectably. Hendry's Chureh. Last Sunday wc attended services at this Church. Rev. L. W. Stephens preached an excellent sermon from Galatians. lie will preach in Hartwell next second Sun day at night. We took dinner at Mr. Williford’s plantation, and had an abun dance of strawberries. The big rock, half a mile from there, is quite a curiosity. A large quarry, in the event of a railroad, might be made a paying investment there. Messrs. Brown and Fleming have built a new storehouse and do a good business in the thrifty Eagle Grove neigborhood. Mr. Brown has also erected a commodious dwelling near the store. Examination At the Hartwell High School will take place on the 18th and 19th of June. An exhibition will be given each night and a rare treat in tbe way of oratory and music may be expected, as Miss Annie Jordan and pupils in connection with Mr. and Mrs. Looney, will spare no pains to make the occasion an enjoyable one. Mr. Looney and his accomplished lady have used every effort to improve their pupils, and we have no doubt but that all will acquit them selves with great credit—individually and collectively. A large crowd will be in attendance. This will close the Spring session of the High School. The Kunday School World. For May appears in a neat cover, into which is packed the usual number and va riety of valuable articles found in this ex cellent Sunday-school monthly— Rev. Chas. S. Robinson, D. D., treats of “ Lesson Helps,” Rev. George E. Post, Syria of “ The Fig Tree,” Rev. Win. Ormiston, D. D., sketches the character of “Elisha;” Mrs. W. F. Crafts explains “ The Kindergarten,” as applied to Sunday-schools ; Rev. Mosley H. Williams shows “ How not to keep scholarsßev. Edwin W. Rice writes of The Prophetic Books.” Added to these are Dr. John Hall’s Lessons, Mrs. Knox's “Primary Talks;” Lessons applied; a Bible Concert Exercises, and the usual Editorials, making an interesting, varied and valuable amount of reading for the Sunday-school worker which he would find it difficult to procure elsewhere at three times the cost of The World. Fomiimulcatlon. Editors Sun : You are both young mar i riod men, and may have the responsibility of bringing up a lot of boys. If you have fifty dollars to give one, put it in his head and not injiis pocket. Paper collars and “ shoo fly ” neckties pass away, but edu cation remains as long as breath does in the body. Learn them to d*> thuir own count ing. I know a farmer who called on a merchant in the month of August to pur chase some bacon on credit until the Ist of November. Inquiring the price, the mer chant told him ho would sell to him at Id cents with interest nt the rate of 15 per cent until then. The farmer said he could not think of paying such an “ intrust ,” but gave another merchant 18 cents without in terest until November, the time being only three months. There axe plenty of good schools in Hart, and a boy could in a few mouths learn to count per cent, and inter est. We would like to sec every boy in this County make his mark, not by making a cross to a note with a witness attached, if he should be so unfortunate as to have to sign one. Petek. Facta Worth Knowing. One of the best indications of the South and prosperity of Charleston is to be found at the establishment of I. 11. Hall & Cos., located at Nos. 2,4, 6, 8 Market and 223 A. 225 East Bay Streets. The rapidly in creasing business last year of this firm has induced them to enlarge their establishment which now supplies every conceivable ar ticle that can be required In the building of a house, from a baluster to any size tim ber. Our friends in the city and through out the country who contemplate building a house can be supplied with all the mate rial necessary for its construction. Such as Sash, Doors, Blinds, Paints, Oils, Hard ware, Ac., at prices and quality of work which will save a large percentage in the cost of building. To those who are so unfortunate as to become prematurely gray, or whose hair exhibits a tendency to fall off, we recom mend a trial of Hall's Hair Renewcr. We do so with the utmost confidence because it is everywhere received with marked favor, and has built upon its own merits such a sure foundation that it is known and used in all civilized countries.— Addison (N.
