Too Many Office-Seekers. Albany \evn. The wires are working for one of the greatest revolutions that Georgia ever wit nessed. There is bold significance in the action of certain members of the Geor gia Legislature and outside political skir mishers. There is a power concealed from the sight of the people, prompted by a spirit of greed for political preference, which will fully develop itself before an other twelve months. Without assuming the roll of a prophet we dare make this as sertion. Ours is not a surmise. Our views are warrented by plain facts. The contro versy, the underground attack upon the Governor and other like matters have a deep meaning. To mnkc plain an expres sion the misfortunes at the capital are made to subserve the interests of political aspirants ; and the whole will, we fear, re sult in a division of the party, nnd an over throw of that solidity which has held Georgia high out of the quagmire of radi calism for the last several years. Too mnny otHce-scckyrs for the good of the grand old State. TUTT’S ■SMSiWTr I rzrrrn J PILLS nro extracted from Vepetable products, combining in tin m the Mandrake or May Applo, which is recognized by physicians ns a substitute for calomel, possessing all the virtues of that mineral, without its bad after-effects. AS AN ANTI-BILIOUS MEDICINE they are incomparable. __They stimulate the TORPID LlVEH, “invigorate the NERVOUS SYSTEM, and give tone to the DIGESTIVE ORGANS, creating per fect digestion nnd thorough assimilation of food. They exert a poworful influence on the KIDNEYS and LIVER, and through these organs remove all impuri ties, thus vitalizing the tissuesof the body and causing n healthy condition of the system. AS AN ANTI-MALARIAL REMEDY They have no equal; and as a result act as a preventive and cure for Bilious,Re mittent, Intermittent, Typhoid Fevers, ami Fever and Ague. Upon the healthy action of the Stomach, depends, almost wholly, the health of the human race. DYSPEPSIA IS THE BANE of the present generation. It is for the Cure of this disease and its attendants, gl K-HEADACHE, NERVOUSNESS, DE3 TONDENCY, CONSTIPATION, PILES, &c.. Unit TUTT’S PILLS have gained such a wide spread reputa tion. No Remedy has ever been discov ered that acts so speedily and gently on the digestive organs givi-.g them tono and vigor to assimilate food. Tins being accomplished, of course the NERVOUS SYSTEM IS BRACED, THE BRAIN IS NOURISHED, AND THE BODY ROBUST. Being composed of the juices of plants extracted fcy powerful chemical agen cies, and prepared in a concentrated i'orm,_they are guaranteed free from any thing that can injure the most del icate person. ! A noted chemist who has analyzed them, says “ THERE IS MORE VIRTUE IN ONE OF TUZI'S PILLS, THAN CAN BE FOUND IN A PINT OF ANY OTHER.” We therefore say to the nfllirted Try this Remedy fairly, it will not harm you, you have nothing to lose,butwill surely gain a Vigo rous Body, Pure Blood, Strong Nerves and a Cheerful Mind.

(A bad beginning makes a good ending.) My Good Man, What (Jives You Pain ? BROKEN PROMISES AND UNPAID DEBTS! We do not say that ALL MEN are liars ; but that we owe debts which MUST BE PAID, and if our GOOD PROMPT-PAY ING customers do not help us, to whom must we look ? Some men would let us talk ourselves to death, or die iu the poor house rather than use any exertion to pay what they owe us. We arc glad that all men are not so. Many of our good friends are coming up with cotton and money TO HELP US OUT. Let others do likewise. Sura* u@*d but to bo reminded. Those who want full prices for their cotton, and who desire to render us a real favor, will come early, we know. Do not take offence, for none is intended. We simnly need money and are not asham to tell you so. WE MUST lIA\ E IT. E. B. BENSON & CO. Notice. I hereby inform my friends and custom ers who have bought provisions and guano from me this year, that I will only receive cotton at Bowersville or Toccoa, Ga., for the payment of the debts.

On Friday evening, the 10th instant, at 2 o'clock, the citizens of the town and a considerable number from the country as sembled in the academy for the purpose of witnessing the closing exercises of this flourishing school. Prof. Peek in a few introductory re marks, explained that no preparation had been made for a grand display, as it would have consumed much valuable time from teachers nnd pupils, and it was better that the time should be devoted to something more substantial, lie announced that only those classes would be examined in which prizes were given, after which origi nal speeches and compositions would be delivered and read by the young Indies and gentlemen, and following, speeches and recitations by the boys ami girls. The following was the PROGRAMME : Primary Geography. This clnss stood excellent examination, Amos McCurry, re ceiving the prize. 11c is the boy that picks so much cotton on Saturdays. First Steps in Geography. Those little ones are making their first steps, but they are by no means uncertain ones. Mathew Powell bore of the prize. Intermediate Geography. This class came otl the Held with flying colors, with Willie Mathews as prize fighter. General Topic Class. This is anew and ■ very useful wrinkle. Questions on almost ; every subject are written down on the | blackboard ami the scholars copy them and get the answer as best they can. We give specimens of the questions: “What is a Constitution?” “ Who invented the telegraph, ami what was the first message transmitted?” “ Where does slavery now exist ?” ftc. It is a good plan, and in creases the general knowledge of the pupil very much. Miss Lou Holman and Llew ellyn Grown, ranked first in this class, A. X. Alford, second. Fifth Speller. The whole class did so well that they all received prizes. Fourth Speller. This class did cast a spell over the whole audience, Dicey Powell bearing oil' the prize. First Latin Class. We honestly believe there is no class in the State can excel this class, of the same age and experience. It is a champion class. Llewellyn Drown won the crown. Dictionary. This class recites on the “ spelling bee ” plan and as they miss they go to their scats. They fought long and well, nnd finally the teacher had to resort to stratagem to break the ranks. Amos McCurry raked m another prize. And lie can beat ’em picking cotton, too. Spelling No. 1. This class is A No. 1, in faet. It is on the “spelling bee,” also, and we began to fear they would fight it out on that line if took all summer, but the teacher, by slipping in illegitimate “catch words,” floored them at last. Miss Nora Johnson was awarded the prize. This terminated the examination, with satisfaction to the patrons, and with honor anil credit alike to teachers and pupils. Then came the reading of original com positions and speeches. Miss Ettie McMullan—Composition : “Affects of Association.” The young lady acquitted herself with great credit. Miss Anna Peek—Composition : “ Conversation.” The theme was well handled, and evinced that Miss Anna is no ordinary thinker. Miss Orah Johnson—Composition : “ More Offend for the Want of Thought than for any Want of Feeling.” Miss Orali showed considerable insight into human nature, and made a good apology for the thoughtless offender. A. N. Alford —Composition : “ The Paths of Glory Lead but to the Grave.” There was much truth in his composition, and his deductions in the main correct; but while a man’s inevitable fate is the grave, he may leave to his posterity that priceless heritage—a good name, and upon the pages of history a monument. Miss Pou Holman—Composition : “ Italy Beyond the Alps.” A beautiful subject; and Miss Lou crossed the snow clad Alps into the lovely land of romance with much more ease and grace than did the great Napoleon. Miss Norah Johnson—Composition : “ Attention Makes the Genius.” In our opinion, this was the best composition of them all. and was read with most ex quisite grace. This we say without dis paragement to any', as they all did well. Llewellyn Brown—Speech : 44 Mental Pleasures .Never Cloy.” This was a solid, argumentative, symmetrical speech, well delivered; perhaps a little more fire would have added to the effect. That was all it needed. Then the following little girls and boys repeated choice selections, and all them spoke like anything and never missed a word : Sammic Holland, Bodie Mathews, Cyn thia Powell, Em. Sattcrlield, Lelia Steph enson, Tommie Wilson, Clara Hodges, Arthur Linder, Ida Satterfield, Amicus Stephenson. Ida Sanders, Willie Maxwell, Walter Ilodgcs, Hell Johnson. Llewellyn Stephenson, Emma Thornton, Mathew Powell, llafed Williams. “ The Rainbow.” Recitation by seven little girls. Dialogue, by Amos McCurry and Lallie Linder. Valedictory, by Amos McCurry. Maj. J. 11. Skelton then made a brief but pointed speech, in which as one of the trustees he lauded the teachers and pupils, said he was proud of the school, and said that he hoped the teachers would accept the school another year. Profs. Peek and* Bobo then made perti nent addresses, returning their sincere thanks to the people of the town and county for their liberal support, and tend ering the keys of the Academy to the trustees. We believe the patrons of the school arc satisfied with the advancement made by scholars, and will echo our opinion that Profs. Bobo and Peek should be tendered the school for next year. Under their management the school during the year has enrolled one hundred and eleven pupils, a larger enrollment than has ever been made by any school in Hartwell. This speaks well for the teachers, and shows the high estimate the people have of them as educators. The Hartwell High School has made a fine reputation, anu has done much toward the up-building of our beautiful village. Let the people stand to it, and accord to these higfily competent teachers the cordial, liberal support they so richly merit. Wc would state, that through the pub lic spirit of John B. Maxwell, and other citizen*, board for pupils from a distance has been reduced to much lower figures than ever before. Chew Jackson's Best Sweet Navy To bacco. Nun Kar. Court in Franklin this week. Sociables are the •* thing ” in Hartwell society at present. E. It. Henson ft Cos. are preparing to enlarge their atore, .IcfT Linder has been to Atlanta and got Ia big stock of goods. Drummers are getting thicker and thick ! or, and so is their cheek. What has become of our neighborhood localizers? Wake up, boys. Hartwell merchants have made another “ raise ” on the price of cotton. We regret to say that Dr. Page lias been compelled to take his bed again. lion. A. G. McCurry is progressing finely, being able to ride out every day. Senator Hodges made a flying visit home on Saturday, returning to Atlanta on Mon day. We have the biggest and cheapest lot of Ready-Made Clothing ever offered in Hart well. E. H. Hknson ft Cos. The Toceoa News bewails the lack of energy in that town. A little of that same article would improve matters in this burg , somewhat. I have some of the best fancy flour ever sold in Hartwell at low prices, as it was bought before the advance. J as. M. Webb. Rev. MeLees' sermon in the Methodist Church on Wednesday night was very line, and the congregation were well repaid for their attendance. Wc overheard a farmer say last Satur day, “ That watchmaker is a well put up little fellow, but he is on the pony order. 1 reckon lie's easy kept.” Rev. W. A. Fariss preached in the Methodist Church on Sunday, although he was not at all well, having been suffering from neuralgia for several days. “ Don't you think the News is improv ing a little of late?” asks the Toccoa News. No, sir ; not a little—it lias improved very much. It’s as spicy as sweet pickle. The fame of the Little Jim Sanders Sa : loon, at Eiberton. has reached the utmost I limits of the adjoining counties, and they all call on Jim before they leave the city. Senator Hodges was not one of (he sev enteen who voted to acquit Treasurer Uen froe. hut he was in favor of a light punish ment. This chimes in with our ideas ex actly. The railroad darkeys had a big “ rassel ing ” match opposite the jail on Saturday, which resulted in Arch Gilmer throwing Harrison Bradley “the two best out of three.” The Town Council has granted the Hartwell Railroad Company the right of way on Franklin street down to the square. The present location for ihe depot will be only temporary. 11 is astonishing what a developing power a railroad is. It will not be long before the whole section of country from Toccoa to Eiberton will he one of the most pros perous in the State. There is considerable competition in the cotton business between the several towns around. This is a fine tiling for the farm ers, but it makes the profit to cotton buy ers beautifully less. The trestle for the Hartwell Railroad over Lightwood-Log creek is about finished. It is being built up at Linder's saw-mil), and will be brought down on the railroad when it is finished to the creek. Sonic of our farmers say if the warm dry weather continues, the cotton turnout in Hart county will be from five to eight hundred bales in excess of the present estimate. Two weeks longer will do it. Elberton is to have another paper, is sued by the Elberton Publishing Company, and edited by S. N. Carpenter, Esq. The News will launch upon the sea of journal ism about the Ist of November. We wish it bon voyage. Nearly all of Hartwell will attend the Fair in Atlanta. Every one should visit the largest store in Atlanta, Chamberlin, Boynton & Co.'s.

His sister Minnie, only 8 years old, weighing 50 pounds, picked 150 pounds of cotton the same day. They had to go over 0 acres of ground, being the third picking. Hurrah ! for.Saminie and Minnie. All who have contributed books to the Hart County Library Assosiation will please come and get them at once. All in terest in the institution seems to have ceased, and l do not wish to hold the books longer. S. W. Peek, Librarian. Fair competition and rivalry is a good thing, and serves to infuse energy into towns and individuals alike. But ill-na tured flings and inuendocs by newspapers will serve no good purpose.

We know what will make ’em sneeze — we have tried it on them and goats too, and succeeded in getting the biggest kind of sneezes —cayenne pepper will do the job. A certain young man who went up to Atlanta last week to get Ins “wedding things,” when the train stopped at Bowers ville thought he would go to the hotel and “ eat a bite.” But the train wouldn’t tarry, and went on to Elberton with the “ wedding clothes,” leaving the young man at Bowersville, ' “ confounding the luck.” We sympathize with our friend Jep. Thornton in the loss of his good gray horse, which died Saturday night. A pout mortem examination was made upon the de funct body of the animal, which revealed that he died from pneumonia. Jep. says that he had a bad .cough for some time. Whenever you hear your horse cough, send him to Florida. The large retail merchants in the country are becoming more convinced every dv that it pays to go to market and select their own goods. A merchant who watclr es the market and picks out his own goods can always afloru to sell them cheaper than those who purchase exclusively of drummers. Of course it is very pleasant to have the drummers drop in and spin a few yams when yon are not busy, and merchants who do not advertise generally havo plenty of time to entertain these traveling commercial gentlemen. It costs from five to eight dollars a day to run a drummer, and the fanners who buy Irom the couutry merchants who patronize thcip havo to foot up the expense and a profit on it besides. Dr. Witherspoon, of Andersonville, S. I'., brought us yesterday an average Ntalk of cotton from a patch of about one-third of nn acre. The stalk bad on it 58 bolls, all of which were opened except one. The third of nn acre made a bale of cot ton nnd was not manured. The texture is much finer than the common cotton. It was planted on the 6th of May, and matur ed by the Nth of October. It can lie plant ed two or three times as thick ns the com mon cotton. It is called the Cannon cot ton, and was propagated by Col. W. 11. Cannon, of Florence, S. by selecting seed year after year. This is just what is needed in this section—a cotton that will mature early before the frosts come in. Our farmers would do well, perhaps, to procure some of this seed. On yesterdey, about 11 o'clock, a. in., a bale of cotton was discovered to be on fire in E. 11. Benson ft Co.’s cotton lot, which was, no doubt, caught from a cigar or pipe in the mouth or hands of someone smok ing m the lot. The lire was discovered in time to prevent serious loss or damage. Be careful where you smoko. Mr. Hall, from Rocky River, 12 miles below Anderson, S. C., sold E. H. Hen son ft Cos. a load of the finest Carolina cot ton yesterday. They' also bought several loads of Carolina cotton on the same day. Let 'cr roll! let "cr roll 1 \Vliocan describe the deep joy, the pure and fervent affection which glows in a yciung mother’s countenance, and fills her swelling heart as she bends over the cradle of her first-born, nnd beholds him nestling there in the sweet repose of infancy?

Although her love is powerless to prevent the entrance of dis ease. when croup, that formidable enemy of childhood, attacks her darling, her grateful heart almost bursts with joy to think tlint relief can be obtained by using Cousscns' Compound Honey of far.

Hart county cotton lias a good, long staple this season—in fact* better than for several years. An old gent of Hartwell says that with his forefinger and thumb lie spun out thread enough from a basket of samples to make him a shirt, which he in tends having woven and made into a shirt to wear to the next centennial, which will come off at Philadelphia in 1!I70. Merchants, do you know that Mcßride ft Cos., Atlanta, Ga., sell crockery ns low as it can he bought anywhere? They keep good goods and don’t mind selling them down at hard pan prices.

A solitary pedestrian was seen walking at a rapid gate down the deserted street one cold winter's day, when a deep snow covered the ground, and rendered such exorcise difficult and unpleasant. She faced the wind bravely until she came to drug store, which she entered for the purpose of procuring for her invalid mother a bottle of Cousscns’ Compound Honey of Tar, the favorite remedy for coughs, colds, and all diseases of the throat and lungs.

The utility' of Sulphur Baths is too generally understood ami appreciated to need comment. They are expensive, however. Not SO UEENN’S SUI.I’HUR SOAR which possesses the same properties in a highly concentrated form, is sold at a price which renders it available by all, and ob viates the necessity of seeking beyond one’s own threshold the remedial advantages of sulphur bathing. Obstinate ulcerous sores scalds, bruises and cuts are healed by it; ami it is extremely efficacious in relieving the suffering caused by sprains. It nulli fies the danger of diseases produced by contact, when used as a preventitivc, and disinfects clothing and linen worn by per sons troubled with contagious maladies. Regarded merely as an article of the toilet, it is far preferable to ordinary soaps, on account of its superior cleansing and emol lient qualities, and for bleaching line ar ticles of needle work and white woolen, cotton and linen fabrics, it is unequalled. Its use is sanctioned by the Medical frater nity, and testimony of the most unim peachable kind proves its merits. No statements are put forth in its behalf which the facts will not justify. It is in every respect worthy of the rank which it holds among American proprietory reme dies. Inexpensive, convenient and reliablc, it especially recommends itself to the use of families iu which there arc children who are liable to contract, at school or else where, diseases of the skin, to which it is the best known antidote.
