Improved Burglar Alarm.
Last week wo had the pleasure of a call
from our old friend John A. Reese, of
Seneca City, S. formerly of Anderson,
He had on exhibition his newly patented
Burglar Alarm, which is one of the most
complete, and yet simple, pieces of mechan
ism that we have ever seen. It can be
placed in store or dwelling house, water
melon patch, or any place where it is de
sired to prevent the depredations of thieves
and burglars. It can be arranged with
either pistol or gun, that will tire at the
raising of a window, opening of a door or
any other entrance to a house by means of
a cord attachment. The greatest triumph
is the attachment by which the owner can,
before entering, lock it so as to preclude
the possibility of shooting himself. Every
body troubled with thieves or burglars
should get one of the Reese Burglar
Alarms. Mr. Reese is selling State and
County rights, but the price of a single
instrument is nominal. We can recom
mend Mr. Reese as a gentleman of integ
rity, and is not selling a useless humbug,
but a useful and much needed burglary
preventor.
Bottom Reached.
XV. 11. Stephenson has returned from

the prettiest stock of goods he ever had.

I>en!!> ol' Hr*. Belle Parker.
This estimable lady, wife of Mr. Sea
born Parker, died at her residence in this
city, on Thursday afternoon, after a brief
but very severe illness. When the writer
saw her last, a little over two weeks ago.
she seemed to be in the blootn of health,
and it was remarked that she never looked
so well. But. alas ! how suddenly the
messenger came. She was a member of
the Oconee street M. E. Church, and it
was only a few Sabbaths ago that husband
and wife kneeled together for the last time
at the Church altar to commemorate the
*• broken body and shed blood" of our
dying Lord. But she has gone now to be
ever present with the Lord. She leaves a
distressed husband, two little children,
father, mother, and brothers and sister,
besides a large number of friends to mourn
her early death. May God comfort the
stricken ones in this sore bereavement. —
Athens Chroaittle 1 'i.tk inst.
Mr. Seaborn Parker was born and rear
ed in Shoal Creek district of this County,
and is known and respected by all of our
citizens, who deeply sympathise with him
in his great bereavement.
James M. Urj' & Cos.
Read the advertisement of this mam
moth dry goods store. They are liberal
enterprising men. and from their long ex
perience and abundant capital can afford
and do sell as cheap as any house in the
South. When our Hart County friends
visit Athens, Atlanta and Elberton they
will find it to their advantage to call on the
merchants of those cities who invite you
to do so. If you are not acquainted with
them tell them you are from Hart and had
read their advertisements, and you will see
the clerks fly around like a cat shot in the
left eye. Liberal advertisers are always
liberal merchants; when you enter their
stores you don't feel like poor folks at a
frolic without an invitation. Patronize the
people who appreciate your custom.
An fiouCMt Widow.
Rev. W. L. Fore came to this County
in the last stage of consumption a few
years ago, thinking this balmy climate
of ours might restore him. When he died
a few months ago. he owed a small debt to
a merchant in this town, he told bis wife
before he died of the debt, and that he
wanted it paid. The merchant would
cheerfully have given her the debt, but she
insisted upon working to pay it, which she
did with her needle ; and we imagine we
can see that pleasant smile that passed
over the old man's countenance as he
looked down from Heaven and saw his
poor, weary widow take the last stitch in
the quilt that paid the debt.

Hartwell had a big railroad meeting last
week. A big crowd was present and big
speeches made by big men. Great enthu
siasm was manifested, and the Directors
instructed to let out the contract for grad
ing as soon as advisable. Let ’er roll, you
can’t hurt us. A town that hasn't got
even a narrow gauge railroad isn’t worth a
cent in these days of progressiveness.—
I'occoa Ncxcs.
The News is eminently correct, a narrow
gauge to our little Tillage will not injure
the city of Toccoa, nor Daniclsville either,
and we are glad of it. We don’t want to
hurt you—we are too tender-hearted for
that; and in your historic language we say
—let ’cr roll!
Coussen’s Compound Honey of Tar has
been so long and favorably known that it
needs no encomium. For coughs, colds,

speedy relief, ana is a most pleasant and ef

of its ingredients. The skill of the chem
ist, and the knowledge of a physician were
united in its preparation, the result being
a compound which is the faveritc remedy
in this severe climate, and has no equal as
a cure for coughs, colds, hoarseness, bron

sions relative to the matter, but in order
to elicit argument on both sides, would
state the advantages which might accrue
to the community by having •* no fence;”
which lie did in a very chaste and appro
priate manner. Q. C. Jordan was next
called on, gave a very interesting argu
ment against th< “stock law.” Next,
Judge .mo. M. ihnvers addressed the au
dience in a very forcible manner. ' owing
the benefits that might be derive-i from
having fewer stock and keeping them in
closed. Last, but not least. J. Manley
claimed the attention of the audience, de
monstrating very clearly that it would be
to the best interest of the community not
to dispense with their fences at the present
time. No definite conclusions, however,
were arrived at, hut from various obser
vations, it is evident that a large majority
of the assembly opposed the stock law.
Had we space, we would be glad to intro

We learn that another meeting will be held
