Hunt Knnktn A Umr. This big Drug Rouse of Atlanta, has it* card in our paper. All who trade with them find them fair and honorable in their dealings, and their goods are sold as low as they can be purchased in any city. They stand in the front rank of houses in their line. Uenlkn. Ijjvison Tsbell, 70 years of age, died last week. An honest, good citizen who always did unto others as ho would have them do unto him. He has gone to his reward, lie was a member of Beaverdam Church, Fair Play, S. C. Mrs. Elizabeth Nelms, wife of Andrew J. Nelms on Gth instant, of consumption. John JI. KwbiiiMon, Whose card appears in our paper, keeps as nice assortment of millinery and straw goods, ribbons flowers, feathers and all sorts of head gear for the ladies as can be found in any Southern city. Merchants and Milliners, who are in Atlanta during the Fair, or any other time will find it to their interest to call on him. We know from experience that his goods sell rapidly and for a fair profit. Hymeneal. Married, on Wednesday evening last, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. W. P. Smith, Capt. John Peek and Miss Ann Williford. The happy pair went to Athens on a bridal tour the next day, arriving home safe yesterday morning. May their path way be strewn with the flowers of content ment. Heallli of onr County. 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. Read Advertisement 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 his store—Will Snow and Tom Roberts, don’t fail to call on them and we will 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. Persons wishing to have their watches, clocks and jewelry repaired should leave their orders with M. R- Casey, at Ayers store at once. Marshal Dooley has another uight alaiin at rus house, A boy. E.

McCurry & Cos., have employed a first-class Tinner permanently, and are prepared to make or repair any kind of tin ware at short notice. The Ku Klux advertisement in our pa per seems to please some of the Carol>na merchants, as we see it in the Abbeville Medium with no change, except the name and State. However the Medium did not have the ku klux cuts to embellish it. The Gainesville Eagle, did not reach us last week. What's the matter? 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. “ It is more blessed to give than to re ceive.” as the mule said when he kicked the blacksmith over his shop. The Russian watchword is “ Nevergive uptheschipka.” The Turks’ is”Osmake yah.” Quite a number of our citizens will at tend the State Fair in the Capital City. We regret to learn through the Elberton Gazette, that Mrs. Robt. Hester had her arm fractured by horses running away with a carriage. She is doing very well. The Gazette thinks no competing rail road talk can injure the Elberton Air Line. Agents of the Elberton Air Line have returned from Carolina, whither they had gone to inspect the workings of narrow gauge roads. Alex. Stephens says Grant meant well but acted wrong. That Haves is a patriot and strong in his determination to uphold the Constitution. That Randall will be elected Speaker of the House. If an honest man goes to Atlanta, will that make him dishonest? If a dishonest man goes to Milledgeville, will that make him honest? We pause— We want no bogus advertisements, pay able in due bills on men we know nothing about, and all one-cent circulars sent us on that subject amounts to a clear loss to the proprietors. — Toccoa Herald. The above expresses our sentiments ex actly. The Elberton Gazette says The Sun has more locals to the square inch than any of its exchanges. We are honored. Now let's see—we want a return compliment— let's see—uni, we have it. The Gazette has more square inches to its locals than any of our exchanges. A hen egg was laid on our table yester day 4 inches long and in circumference. It was laid on the table by a man. Jas. T. Adams presented us with a potato 9£ inches in circumference and 14 in length. What a root! The Anderson band, with handsome chiv alry. stopped at Mrs. Stowers' and played a few pieces for the fair invalid, Miss Sallie. It was highly appreciated. General Toddleben gives it as his opin ion that Plevna cannot be captured “by as sault. but that siege operations on a most extensive scale must be resorted to. It is announced in our telegrams that the Grand Duke Nicholas has the liver com plaint. Considering the situation around Plevna, this is to be regretted. Rut all is not lost, grand duke.

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.
