nice assortment of millinery and straw
goods, ribbons flowers, feathers and all

If any of our subscribers have kept a file
of our paper for the last twelve months,
by looking over the number of deaths re
ported, they will find not more than one
or two men have died under sixty, and a
large majority over seventy, and the wo
men generally are longer lived than the
men. Nothing is wanted in this County
but industry and economy to make it the
garden spot of Georgia.

Of A. H. McAllister, in this issue. He is
one of the solid merchants of Toccoa, and
will sell family supplies, groceries and
other goods, as cheap as they can be bought
in any of the railroad towns. Our Hart
County friends will tind two of our most
gentlemanly and accommodating boys, at

guarantee that you are treated well and
that you will continue to patronise McAl
lister when trading in Toccoa hereafter.
With Pleasure,
We call the attention of our friends m this
and adjoining Counties, to the advertise
ment of our old friend S. C. Dobbs. El
bert county folks, will tind the polite and
accommodating Lofton, of their county,
among the corps of attentive clerks. Col.
Dobbs’ long experience in buying and sell
ing. enables him to be up with the times
in low prices and good goods, and when a
customer has finished his purchases, at
that model store, he will have the satisfac
tion of knowing that he has been fairly
dealt with, and can go on his way rejoicing.
The Lord’* Will.
It is reported that General Grant likes
Europe and will stay there a year longer.
As the immortal Lincoln might have said,
this reminds us of an occurrence that took
place in this County, before the war. A
strict old Methodist, who had a scolding
wife, on one occasion when he sat down to
supper, was taunted by his wife who said :
“ Old man you said you wished I was
dead.” “No, Sallie, 1 did not say that, I
only said if it was the Lord s will, to take
you away, I should put up no objection.
So we say. if it is the Lord’s will, for Grant
never to return from Europe, we shall put
up no objection.
A Card.
We are grateful to the Trustees for their
expression of confidence in our ability as
teachers, and for their request to us to con
tinue the school, promising co-operation in
any manner we may desire. They have
always done that, and in consequence, their
school has prospered.
We are very much in need of the year s
tuition which has been due three
months, and we cannot promise definitely
for the future till we settle up the past.
Those that are friends and wish us to re
main will come and pay what they owe
now . M. V. Looney.
Not long since, at one of our revival
meetings a near-sighted man called on a
cross-eyed woman to escort her to Church.
The night was dark, and the crowd had
gone ahead, so there was no one for them
to follow. The man could not see the way,
and the cross-eyed woman, in looking at
her escort, started off in a circle, and they
just circled around and around, until the
returning congregation came upon them
and straightened them out on the home
stretch.

If the rising generation have not sense
enough to manage the a flairs of Slate,
would it not be a good idea, to embalm
some of the old politicians and keep them
in the capitol, wher>* they could be taken
down and soaked with a little brandy on
grave occasions, that they might open their
mouths and speak as Balaam's little beast
did in the olden times?
A certain politician in the street the
other day, affirmed that he would support
a certain candidate for the Legislature, for
two reasons : First, that if he went to the
Legislature, that he would break it up in
two days; Secondly, that he would then
return home—die with the “big-head,”—
go to hell, and break up that institution in
less than a week's time. He is certainly
the right man to send, and we don’t blame
politician for supporting him.
Many years ago, Sam Maverick, an old
shipping merchant, who had made a large
fortune in the business, told us that “ once
upon a time,” as the fairy tales say, *• Our
house sent an assorted cargo to Constanti
nople. A clerk of the house went out as
supercargo. Upon arrival, called upon their
commission merchant, who furnished
hands to discharge the freight from the
vessel. Night came on. and the wharf was
covered with boxes, bales, &c. The young
man saw that he could not get them housed
and again called on the Turk for advice,
who told him to let them remain, no one
would molest them, as there was not a
Christian in a hundred miles of the City !”
And yet there are good people who beg
the little children' for their nickels that
they have to buy candy and chewing gum
with, to enable some denomination to send
a missionary to the heathen Turk. Would
it not be better to exchange a missionary
or two for Turks? We just throw out the
suggestion, as money is so scarce.

SOMF.TUINO New UnUEU Tint SI.N.—A new era is
dawning upon the life of woman. Hitherto sin- Ijhh
is-eu iwlV-'l npou to suffer tin- ills of mankind and
her own besides. The frequent and distressing ir
regularities peculiar to her own sex have long been
to her the “direful spring of woes unnumbered.”
In tlie mansion of the rich and the hovel of poverty
alike, woman ha* been tin; constant yet patient vic
tim of a thousand ills unknown to man—and these
without a remedy. “Oh, Lord, how long!” in the
agouy of her soul, hath she cried. But now the hour
of her redemption is cotne. She will suffer no more,
for Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator—Woman's
Rest Friend—is for sale by all respectable Druggist*

suffering with suppressed menses for some time. I
have had several physicians attending, but met w ith
no success until I was persuaded to huv a twit tic of
