Cotton Market Opened. John Snow sold E. B. Benson A Cos. se ven bales of cotton last week, although his wagon makes a trip or two every week empty to the different railroad towns to haul goods back for our merchants. John is sharp enough to know where to get the best prices for cotton. Echo and Nun. A merchant in a real Georgia city, and who is one of the most extensive advertisers in the State, has this to say : “ You may be assured l appreciate your paper as an advertising medium. I take it home with me every week to read to my children. Your paper and I.ary Gantt's Echo arc models of country newspapers, and if the good people of Hart and Oglethorpe do not support them liberally they ought to be ashamed of themselves.” Cotton Ricking- In Hart. Four hands on R. E. Sadler’s plantation averaged for two weeks, in the fore part of September, 2G5 pounds per day. On last 1 Wednesday one hand picked 310 and an other 305. The hands did their own cook ing and carried the cotton some distance to the house which took four turns for each. R. E. Sadler don’t owe a dollar, and is it not strange that this class of men are all making fine crops of cotton this year. Runaway. It is 32 miles from this place to Toccoa. There is but one hill worthy of the name between the two places. It is two miles from Hartwell at Lightwood-log Creek. A few days ago B. F. Brown was return ing from Toccoa with a load of sugar in barrels, and lard m buckets for E. B. Ben son & Cos. Ilis mules started to run, and in their flight down the hill broke the wagon into trap sticks and scattered lard and sugar from the top to the bottom of the hill, and the water of the cfeek has been too sweet to drink ever since.

Burke), Athens, Ga. This is a live Book store, and right at our door, where books, paper, and every thing in the book or stationery line can be purchased as cheaply as in any of the Northern cities. Now just quit all that foolery in sending by mail to Northern houses for worthless books, and go to the old reliable book store, where you can get anything in the world in the way of hooks that are worthy of being on the shelves of a gentleman’s library.

A Voice from Carolina. “Enclosed find $1.50 for another year’s subscription to The Sun. We can’t do without it over here.” Thank you, Norton. We know your daddy is one of the richest men in your section, and we know the money }'ou send us is made by hard licks from your own strong right arm.

Hart, Elbert, or Franklin folks going to Anderson to trade or sell produce, would do well to call on them. They keep the best of goods at the lowest prices, and you won't find wheat straw bagging and pieced ties in their house. Anderson now has reduced freights and can afford to sell as low as other railroad towns. All they want is a few more advertising mer chants, like the Sullivan boys, to bring back their lost trade and build up their town.

Says the Atlanta Independent : “If a good Vermont or New Hampshire farmer should work out Georgia farms as he works the rocky, sterile New England lands, he would produce such crops as were never seen in this country. If our thirty-five thousand farmers would work Georgia lands as the good Northern farmers work their lands, the agriculturists of Georgia would he the money lenders of the State.” We would in all confidence recommend Dr Harter’s Iron Tonic.

A Swift Kunner. Messrs. Editors : In this day of sports, viz : cards, base-ball, chuck-luck. &c., we see nothing about running foot races. It is a nice and harmless exercise, and may be of great value under certain circumstances. The writer, the other day held a watch and timed a gentleman till he ran 100 yards, and he ran it in 12 seconds. The ground was level and a portion of the way was sandy. Can any other man or boy run the same distance quicker? If so, let us know in The Sun, and we will run our man again. A Sportsman. l’roi lili-ut'v < itinpiuvi'Siiijf. In Anderson County, S.

R., preached the 11 o’clock sermon on Sunday, from He brews 11th Chap., 4th verse : *• And by it he being dead yet spoaketh.” This was a masterly effort, and the speaker proved that our influence, whether for good or evil, still lives nfter our death.

At a meeting of the Trustees of the Hartwell High School held this day, the following resolutions were passed : Whereas, our town and County has been prospered to a great extent by a flour ishing School, due to the able and skillful management of the teachers in charge, Prof, and Mrs. Looney, who have made this a School second to none in the State. Our town is favorably situated for a school, and there is an increased desire all over the surrounding country to send children here. The climate is healthy and salubrious, the water fine, morals good, there being noth ing to attract the minds of youth from their studies, board and tuition cheap, in fact every desideratum that could be wished by a parent to have his child educated can be found here. Be it therefore Resolved , That we tender Prof, and Mrs. Looney our heartfelt thanks for their uast administration, and we earnestly beg them to continue in the work and their School for next year; and we hereby promise to use all our efforts and ability in co-opera ting with them in any planner they may desire to make their School one of in creased profit to them and usefulness to our town and County.
