BREVITIES. rriiot! IW Hotter! £ Ip"Local news is scarce ! you seen the “panter” ? IFWe are needing rain very much now! one tramp this week—a perambu lating tin-shop. llTSeveral of our citizens speak of ac companying the minstrels to Harmony Grove. Sunday Schools of our sister city, Harmony Grove, will “celebrate” on to-mor row. HP\Ve learn the Sunday Schorl celebra tion at Lebanon, last Saturday, was a grand success. LfPThc minstrels were well attended on Saturday night, and all seemed to enjoy it “ hugely.” SIPThe young, juicy spring poets are fill ing the young ladies’ new spring fans with soft spring poetry. Z. IS. Graves preached an excel lent sermon at the Presbyterian church in this place last Sunday. Ljp’The “ fourteen-ycnr” locusts have made their appearance, in large numbers, in some portions of this count}'. £3F*We were pleased to meet our young friend, George Cobb, ol Oconee county, on our streets last Saturday. £ c? J The familiar faces of Messrs. J. N. T witty and J. N. Webb, of Athens, were seen upon our streets Saturday. t on May Bth, 1881, by W. B. Patrick, Esq., Mr. Thomas Lakey and Miss Fannie Brown, all of Jackson county. EVPRcv. W. I). Anderson, Presiding Elder of this (Elberton) District, conducted the ser vices at the Methodist church here last Sun day night. £2P*Marricd, at the residence of the bride’s father, by Rev. 11. Porter, on May Ist, 1881, Mr. Green Arnold and Miss Lizzie Statham, all.of Jackson county. ElT’Cols. A. L. Barge and J. IL Duke met with fine success fishing out on the Mulberry, near Mr. Lee Johnson’s, last Tuesday night, having caught between twenty and twenty livo pounds of fine blue cat, one of which weighed seven and a half pounds. EdtPOur amateur minstrel troupe will visit Harmony Grove on next Saturday (to-mor row) to give the Grovcites an entertainment on that night. We hope they will be largely attended, and that those who attend may have one good, “ fattening” laugh. EIPMr. Jack Storey shot and killed a dug last Tuesday morning, that was supposed to have the hydrophobia. It is said that there has been several dogs seen roaming about our streets within the last week or two, that seemed to be affected with this dreaded disease. editor of this paper is absent this week, attending the meeting of the Georgia Press Association at Rome, which accounts for the scarcity of original matter in this is sue. We trust our readers will bear with us until his rctnrn ; you have no idea how try ing it is to get out a newspaper without an editor. parties is the ortler of the day now. A party, consisting of Cols. “Bose” Duke, A. L. Barge, Captain A. T. Bennett, Foster Daniel and Bob Deavours, went out on the Mulberry yesterday evening, to enjoy a “camp fish.” Wc wish them much luck and lots of fun. 9 £ W Married, at the residence of the bride’s father, in Athens, Ga., on Thursday, the sth instant, by Rev. C. W. Lane, Mr. Edward Bush, of this county, and Miss Myrtis Pat man, of Athens. Wc extend to Ed. and his lair bride our hearty congratulations, and wish them unbounded prosperity and a long life of unalloyed happiness. M. E. Matthews, consort of Mr. Win. F. Matthews, late of Clarke county, de ceased, died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Jackson Bell, in this place, of consump tion, at 3 o’clock on Friday morning of last week, llcr remains were carried to Clarke county for interment. The grief-stricken family and relatives have the sympathy of the whole community. LfPThc annual parade of the Athens Fire Department takes place next Wednesday and Thursday. We understand ten or twelve companies, from different parts of the State, have signified their intention of attending and participating in the festivities. Judging from the preparations that are being made, it will be the grandest sight ever witnessed in North east Georgia. Several of our citizens con template being present. llTOur town and surrounding country have been greatly excited over a panther which is reported to be roaming over our land. Some say the}’ have seen it; wc have not. Several parties have been formed to hunt it down, but have thus far failed. For the past several nights the quietude of our town has been broken by gun and pistol shots and excitement. We hope it will soon quiet down, and if it be a “ panter,” that they will soon kill it and let us have peace. Wc think that it is probably a wild Thomas cat. is a difficult matter to entertain a young lady at a celebration or pie-nic when some other man is her sweetheart and for whom the said young lady is looking. You may talk to her of the Blandusian fountains or the Arcadian groves, or that grub-worms are good bait for fishing, or of the Hesperian gardens, or repeat to her Tasso's Lament in the castle at Furrara, or of a Glaueus and lone, but all to no purpose ; just as well take a speaking trumpet and try to talk to a man on the North Pole—lie cannot hear you, and besides, he freezes ou you. The Celebration of “ Childrens’ Day.” Promptly on the morning of the 7th inst. the hells were rung, and Jefferson, with her host of old and young, assembled at the Pres byterian and Baptist church, to celebrate the childrens’ May Day. ’Twas there, too, that we listened to some of the most beautiful and interesting part of the programme. The children looked like one huge bunch of flow ers—all so tastily dressed—and their singing was splendid and charming. The recitations were highly interesting ami beautiful. The one by Master Willie Hancock was delivered in a manly style, and reflects credit upon his powers of elocution. The one by the little Misses Jessie Rhodes and Mattie Watson was perfectly beautiful, as were they them selves, dressed in their spring attire, all gar landed with flowers. We would like to say more, but it surpasses our description and our space forbids. * With a few more songs and the “ praise service,” we marched to the Methodist church, where we were highly entertained by the orator of the day, Rev. Z. B. Graves, who de livered an eloquent and most interesting lec ture. lie is a young Presbyterian minister of brilliant and cultivated intellect and of deep piety, and will one day be a pillar—an adamantine rock—in the church. Next, we marched to the dinner table, and 'twas there that the most fastidious taste could have been satisfied. It was a*full, com plete and delicious repast —enough anti to spare. The tables were loaded with tempt ing dishes, and everything was so nice and sweet and good. Much credit and thanks are due the worthy ladies on that part of the programme, and also to the gentlemen who assisted them. Last, but not least, comes the banner. To say it was and is beautiful, is the least we could say. Many thanks arc due the worth}' ladies on that part of the programme, an] the banner reflects unbounded credit to their beautiful display of taste. Special thanks are due Mr. Cicero Trout, who so beautifully and artistically painted it. The churches were handsomely and beau tifully decorated by the ladies. Dots from DeLaperriere’s Store. Mu. Editor: —As you solicit correspon dence from the different parts of the county, and seeing none from this immediate neigh borhood, I will give you a few items from this part of the moral vineyard. Cotton planting is about over, and good stands secured on all the forward. Up land corn planting is progressing; stand good. And let me say just here, INIr. Editor, I am afraid that there is more cotton planted than corn. Corn cribs and smoke-houses in Ken tucky and Tennessee does not pay Georgians, especially the farmers of Jackson county, when they could raise plenty for home con sumption and a surplus. Wheat looks very promising. If no dis aster befalls it, there will be an average crop to the area planted. Many farmers failed to sow on account of the incessant bad weather, until it was too late, therefore the area planted is comparatively very small. There are a great many rust proof oats sowed throughout the neighborhood, which also look very promising. Now, Mr. Editor, let me tell you of a rat killing. Mr. Robert Wallace killed one hun dred and forty-four on the 2d of May—-most of them large size. So if you are bothered with rats, send for him ; he is better than any rat-terrier for destroying them. The measles are raging almost as an epi demic throughout the neighborhood. Some fatal cases among the children. Mr. A. DeLapcrriere is still confined to his bed, and is in very feeble health. Rev. Mr. Wood preached us a very able sermon on the second Sunday evening. Ilis text was in the 2Gth chapter of Matthew, from the 3Gth to the 45th verse. His reason ing was very fine, and was enough to con vince any skeptic that man is his own free agent. He advanced some beautiful ideas that our temporal lives were dependent upon the death of the vegetable and animal king dom, so is our spiritual lives dependent upon the death and suffering of our Lord and Sa viour Jesus Christ. There was a good deal of feeling manifested at the close of the meeting, with four additions to the church, llev. Mr. Wood is full of energy. He lias about completed a parsonage within the short space of time lie has been on this “work.” We have a flourishing Sunday School at the Camp Ground, under the management of Messrs. John 1). Wylie and A. P. Stewart. I regret to learn that our mail carrier is very sick with fever. The amputation of Joseph Tallent's foot was handsomely performed, several weeks ago, by the distinguished surgeon and physi cian, Dr. W. P. DeLapcrricre, assisted by one of his students, Mr. J. 11. Osborn, and Dr. Hugh Mitchell. There were quite a num ber of spectators present when the operation was performed. Mr. Tallent's foot had trou bled him a great deal, such as to render him unable to walk for the last ten or twelve months. He is now rapidly improving, and it is hoped will soon be well. May 10 th, 1881. Reader. Advertising Cheats. It has become so common to write the beginning of an elegant, interesting article and then run it into some advertisement, that we avoid all such cheats and simply call at tention to the merits of Hop Bitters in as plain honest terms as possible, to induce people to give them one trial, as no one who knows their value will ever use anything 1 else. —Providence Advertiser.

Parties desiring to build or improve their farms and houses can be supplied with a first-class article of lumber, in any size, shape and style, at lowest prices, by calling on J. R. Lanier, five miles from Jefferson, near the Academy bridge. The Cowpens Centennial. The centennial celebration of the battle of Cowpens, wdiich occurs to-day at Spar tanburg, in connection with the unveiling of the statue of General Morgan, is of consider able interest to Georgians, owing to the fact that history assigns a prominent place to the Georgia riflemen who took part in the fight. The detached command under General Mor gan numbered about one thousand men, many of whom were recruits who joined him as lie slowly retreated before Tarleton. Morgan finally determined to make a stand at Cowpens, a grazing farm in Spartanburg district. His troops were drawn up in two lines, with skirmishers in front, the Marylanders in the center, supported on the left by Virginia militia and on the right by the Georgia rifle men. The first line was broken by the British, but the second line rallied, poured a volley into the British regulars at forty yards dis tance, and followed this up with a bayonet charge. The victory was sudden and com plete. The British lost eighty killed, one hundred and fifty wounded, and between five and six hundred prisoners. Morgan's com mand had twelve killed and sixty wounded. —Atlanta Constitution, May Wth. - Washington Notes. Washington, May 9. —The Senate Judi clary Committee voted to report adversely on the nomination of Stanley Mathews as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The nomination was reported accordingly to the Senate, in executive session, this afternoon. It is understood that the vote on this nomi nation was as follows : In favor of confirma tion, Lamar ; against confirmation,Edmunds, Logan, Ingalls, McMillan, Davis, of Illinois, and Bayard; absent, Colliding and Garland. The aggregate amount of G percent, bonds received at the Treasury Department up to date, at 3| per cent., was $112,551,850. It is estimated that the amount, together with j the packages of bonds at the Department not j yet counted, and upwards of fifteen millions | in the Treasurer’s office, not included in the j above, will swell the aggregate amount fo at least one hundred and forty millions, leaving but about fifty millions of G per cents, out standing. The Senate Committee on Foreign Rela tions to-day authorized the chairman to re port back, with recommendation that it be adopted, the following resolution, recently introduced by Senator Morgan : Resolved, etc., That the interests of the people of the United States and the welfare and security of their Government are so in volved in the subject of the construction of ship canals and other ways for the transporta tion of seagoing vessels across the isthmus connecting North and South America that the Government of the United Spates, with the frankness which is due to all other peo ples and Governments, hereby asserts that it will insist that its consent is a necessary con dition precedent to the execution of such project, and also to the rules and regulations under which other nations shall participate in the use of such canals or other ways, eith er in peace or in war.” —Special to Augusta Chronicle <Sr Constitutionalist. All Eastern paper says: “Brush, the in ventor of the electric light, could not borrow §5 at one period of his life. He now has an income of SI,OOO per day.” To this it is cleverly answered that thousands who could -not borrow , five dollars, years ago, arc in precisely the same fix now. <*Kom;iA Sim The fixtures of the Bank of Rome have been purchased tor $6,900. Mumps and measles have made their ap pearance in Carnesville and neighborhood. Says the Monroe Advertiser: “ Cotton is coming up rapidly and so far there are fine stands - ” The Sparta Ishmuelite says : “ Prohibition is going to sweep the State of Georgia, and there need be no doubts entertained on the subject.” Candidates for the Legislature will step to the front in Cobb county to fill Gen. Ilan* sell's place. Oats are looking well and promise a good crop in Jefferson county, and vegetation is growing off finely. Frank Dorsey, a worthy colored bo}-, was boiled alive in the boiler of the Bibb Man ufacturing Company. The Athens Banner says : “ We learn that Mr. Wm. Lafferty’s horse was struck by lightning Monday afternoon.” Dried fruit brings from 6| to 20 cents per pound in Athens. It looks like those prices would compensate for the trouble of gather ing and drying the fruit. The Franklin Register:. “ Wheat is grow ing rapidl}' and has a promising look lately. We are glad to hear that a respectable peach crop has survived the recent blizzards.” A prominent citizen, in speaking of the railroad prospects of Athens, said that real estate ought to be worth 25 per cent, more to-day than it was last Saturday morning. The Conyers WeeJdy says: “Just as we arc about to go to press news is brought us by Mr. A. O. Moore that Mrs. Nat Bell, living at J. O. Fielder’s, in this county, gave birth on yesterday to three girls. Say3 the Oglethorpe Echo: “ A large ma* jority of the negroes in this county are in favor of a public whipping post. They say it would be much better than fine or imprison ment, and serve more to deter crime.” Says the Rome Courier: “We have heard since the decision of the Supreme Court on the Bank of Rome case, that the assets of the bank will lack SIO,OOO of paying the State’s prior lien, and that the depositors will be assessed to make up this deficiency. Of course the assessment will be pro rata.” Says the Atlanta Constitution: “We are pleased to learn that Major W. J. Houston, under the new regime, is now the assistant general passenger and ticket agent for the Atlanta and Charlotte, Richmond and Dan ville, and North Carolina Railroads, with headquarters in this city. He will also have the supervision of all matters of immigra tion.” The Montezuma Weehlg has received the talons of an eagle killed in Flint river swamp which measured seven feet from tip to tip of its wings, and had been known to carry off fifty pounds in its talons. Before its death, this emblem of the United States of America had committed numerous depredations, having stolen many young pigs and lambs from Mr. Willie Feister, who brought it down. A dispatch from West Point to the Columbus Enquirer-Sun states that on Saturday evening last the Rock Mills Cotton Factory was en tirely consumed by fire. Loss about $70,000 and no insurance. There is no clue to the origin of the fire. The above mills are in Alabama, but, being only twelve miles from West Point, are so close to the Georgia line as to make their destruction a matter of in terest to our readers. Milledgeville Recorder: “ A few days ago we met one of our neighbors of Jones county, though living just on the line of Baldwin, who refreshed us by telling the way he farmed. It was in four words—ho lived at home, made his provisions for man and beast, and always had a sweet, juicy ham in his smoke house that was entirely and unanimously home made. We waive ceremony, and unveil him as R. C. Jenkins. Go thou and do likewise.” According to the Gumming Clarion. Mr. Wm. Castleberry, of Forsyth county, is seventy-eight years old. lie has not a hair on his head, his beard has all come out, and he has no eye brows or eye-lashes. He says that he has been troubled with a strange feeling in his head and that some time ago he com menced losing his hair until now his face is as smooth as a boy’s, and his head as hairless as the palm of the hand. The loss of his eye lashes and eye brows gives him a very singular appearance. Says the Rome Bulletin: “There is much need for the strict enforcement of the vagrant law- in Rome. There are numbers of idle men lounging around who should be made to give an account of themselves. Neither should partiality be shown to color, hut all who do nothing and iiave no visible means of support should he put to work by the county. There is plenty of work to be found, and the farmers are begging for labor. There is no excuse for idleness.” Montezuma Weekly: “At an early hour last Tuesday morning an explosion was heard in the house of Archie Ross, colored, and our Marshal, who is ever on the alert, hastened there to find out the cause. He found the wife of the -colored man severely burned, who re ported that the oil can exploded from being too near the fire, and her clothes were satu rated with it, which also took fire. It was with difficulty that the flames were extinguish ed by her husband and her life saved. After diligent inquiry it leaked out that she was at tempting to kindle a fire with the oil, and thus the explosion.” Says the McDonough correspondent of the Henry County Weekly: “Mr.- Charles Ross met witli quite an exciting accident on Wed nesday evening. In company with his wife, he attempted to ford Camp creek, near Mr. Crookshank’s when it was up with high water. As soon as the mule entered the water he was swept down stream, and in trying to extricate himself Irom the buggy broke off both of the shafts, leaving Mr. Ross and his lady in the middle of the stream. By the assistance of some friends who opportunely arrived they were extricated with no other damage save a severe fright.” Says the Gumming Clarion : “ The railroad fever i3 spreading for miles around town. Far mers are beginning to see that they cannot compete with others nearer a railroad, and that the best way to get near one is to build one of their own. This is the right kind of resolution. There is but little help for those who will not help themselves. It might be well enough to call a public meeting to appoint a committee to confer with the Air-Line authori ties as to the chances of help from them. If they will not, or cannot help us, then we will I know exactly what wc will have to do.” I WE ARE PREPARED TO FUIIN'ISII The “ Tanner,” The “Wood Taber <j- Morse,” and “ Aultman- Taylor” “ Aultman- Taylor” “Lane $ Bodley” SLA.T7V IIVOiSAXjsS!, “Steel Brush ” CCGrin IST, “ Chicago'• HAY SICALKS, fec.
