Lougstreet is in Atlanta, preparing to take charge (if the Marshal’s office. An investment in Western silver mines has made Hob Ingcrsoll, the infidel, rich. Germany proposes to put a stop to the heavy flow of emigration from her territory. Griscom, the faster, is still in the land of the living, and will no doubt make forty days. Georgia makes the second best cotton crop of any State. Mississippi only out ranks her. Italy proposes to resume specie payments early in the future, and to that end ha3 effected a heavy loan. It is said that during the electoral count Conkling was on the point of making a speech and declaring for-Tilden. Dr. Cash, the man who murdered Col. Shannon in a duel in South Carolina last year, has been tried and acquitted. This is his second trial; the jury made it a mistrial at 'first. The campaign in North Carolina this fall will turn upon the temperance question. Senator Vance, of that State, says that his head is with the temperance people, but that he cannot make his stomach join the cause. Col. Jones, of Augusta, notifies Georgia that thero will soon be sold in England valuable historic documents relating to the early history of Georgia. lie suggests that the State ought to buy them, and we agree with him. The New York Legislature is still ballot ing for United States Senators, with no re sult, however. It is thought that there is a possibility of a choice being made in a few days, as the Republicans dare not risk the chances of an adjournment sine die. The Turks want to be isolated, and to this end they have abolished all post offices, and they contemplate many other measures look ing in this direction. The effort will be worth noticing, and we doubt the ability of any nation to carry such measures into effect. The Virginia Republicans do not propose to take an unlimited amount of stock in the Mahone movement, for at best they get but half of the spoils, when, as a separate organiza* tion, if they put out a ticket and get bcat- Ibey still have all of the Federal patronage. The Sparta Ishmaelite sensibly say’s that “ to call a people, who do not raise their own provisions, an agricultural people, looks like trilling with language. It is difficult to imagine what use there is in this world for agricultural people, if they are not to raise supplies for themselves and for others.” An Atlanta correspondent to the Augusta Chronicle <.s• Constitutionalist says that Gen. Gordon is now the richest man in the State, made so by the Georgia Western, and that Gov. Colquitt made seventy thousand dollars recently by the sale of a coal mine that he and Gen. Gordon owned together. It is currently reported that the lion. Emory Speer will take unto himself a wife on the 14th instant. She is a Washington lady, and it is said that she is very wealthy. We hope this wedding is what the newspapers mean when they tell us that Mr. Speer is about to join the Republican party. There has been considerable excitement at Ilatavia, New York, over the alledged dis covery of the remains of William. Morgan, the man who betrayed the secrets of the Freemasons fifty-five years ago, and was adducted and*made away with. A ring 'was found with the initials “W. M and other evidence going to identify the skeleton as that of Win. Morgan. The Republicans of New York insist that the present Legislature shall elect the United States Senators and not adjourn and leave it to the new Legislature, which is to be elected this fall. They assert that if this is done that the Democrats will gain control of the Legislature and elect Democratic Senators, and thus make the United States Senate Democratic, when it really ought to be Re publican. V e would incidentally remark to our neigh bors, the Gainesville Eagle and Southron , that there is always two sides to a question, and that there is enough in Jefferson’s side of the railroad trouble to make a Judge of the Superior Court grant an injunction, and the crowd on the other side of the versus can’t dissolve it. We would much prefer that you would help us to heal the breach than to ujtiqae to make it wider, MR. SPEER. It has been rumored about, and has ap peared in the public prints for some time past, that the Hon. Em or}’ Speer was under going a change in regard to his political feel • ngs, until what was at first only a whisper lias now grown into a serious charge, that as yet lias met with no denial from Mr. Speer. It is said that he lias traded with the Presi dent, and the consideration is that for his vote in the organizing of the coming House of Representatives, the President will give him the control of Federal patronage in this State. We have hitherto retrained from pub lishing anything in regard to the matter, but can do so no longer, for where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. While we are no particular admirer of Mr. Speer, yet we have always accorded to him great sincerity in his political faith, and have considered him a good Jeffersonian Demo crat, of advanced ideas in regard to part}’, &c. But in the present instance, he is ad vancing rather too rapidly for our slow methods. We cannot yet contemplate with composure the antics of a Jeffersonian Dem ocrat who skips about from one party to an other, as it suits his pleasure. It may be progress, but it ia spreading it on a little too thick for us, and we shall object to anv such proceeding, even if we are called a Bourbon. We cannot believe that Mr. Speer proposes to desert the Democratic party, for he knows the people of the Ninth District too well to think for a moment that he can land them into the ranks of Radicalism. And we shall not believe it until the matter gets beyond conjecture. Yet, we think that it would be well enough, and he owes it as a duty to his constituents, to deny or admit the charge, for his present course, to say the least of it, lays him open to the insinuation, and his friends down here deny it witli poor grace whilst it is admitted by those in Washington City who claim to know anything of his intentions. Jug Tavern. The following is from the Walton News, and is all right with but one exception. We think that Bro. Walker is mistaken in saying that the most of the citizens of Jug Tavern claim Walton county. Our opinion is that he will find that some of her best and strongest supporters claim and live in Jack son county : On last Saturday week wo visited Jug Tavern for the first time. We had never entertained a very high opinion of this little burg, and hence our astonishment was made the greater when we landed in the place. We found as many as a dozen new houses, all newly painted and making a fine appear ance to the eye of the stranger. The Hog mountain, Monroe and Jefferson roads cross right in the heart of the town, and these roads make the dividing corners of the counties of Gwinnett, Walton and Jackson. Most of the people show their good taste by claiming Walton as their county, and wc are glad to claim them as fellow-eit zens. Jug Tavern has already all the essential elements that constitute a first-class village—a church, a new and handsome parsonage, a large new academy, three large and well-filled stores, no grog shops, a blacksmith and wood shop, and the elegant home of Mr. W. 11. Hush, which is always open to his many friends, and where strangers always receive a hearty welcome and a bounteous meal. Two of the stores are large and well finished, and will afford room for many thousand dollars worth of goods. These stores are owned and oc cupied by Messrs. Stanton & Kelly and by the Jackson Brothers ; both firms are well known and stand well at home and abroad. Messrs. Kilgore & Stanton occupy the old Jug Tavern store and are nice, clever gentle men. This is the store where the world renowned Bush made his star 1 , and, perhaps, he would have been there yet had it not been for that great streak of luck—the wonderful discovery by his noble wife of her “Burn Specific,” which has never yet failed to cure any sore to which it has been applied, from an eating cancer to the simplest sun burn. Bush says he is going to change the name of the place and call it ‘‘Laura City,” in honor of his wife, whose wondeful discovery first attracted the eyes of the world to the place. The first and last thing we heard in Jug Tavern was the railroad. The people are a unit on the subject, and with their united efforts arc bound to succeed. The depot spot has already been selected, and broad, straight streets are being laid off. 31 r. Bush owns nearly all the land in the immediate vicinity, and he is going to act w’iselv by selling off his lots at public out-erv. The time olf the sale has not yet been set, but the readers of the News will be duly informed in proper time. The streets of Jug Tavern are level and white, and one of the loveliest towns in Georgia can be built here. When the road is completed to Monroe the connection be tween this place and Jug Tavern, or Laura City, as it will then be called, will be close and easy, and Bush can then run down to Monroe and get a glass of spiked lemonade from the “ Dew Drop In,” and get back home to breakfast. We hope the day is not far distant when he can enjoy this happy privilege. We formed the acquaintance of many clever gentlemen during the day. Mr. W. 11. Ander son, the efficient and popular jeweler of the town, who showed us special favors, has our heartfelt thanks. A competent correspondent, from this village, has promised to keep the readers of the News posted with the current events transpiring in that locality, and wc hope to publish one of his letters in every issue of our paper. Jefferson on a Boom l nder this head, the Athens Banner fur this week has the following to say: “ We are informed that Mr. Dave Kenney, a contractor of this city, will go this week with a number of hands to Jefferson, where he has contracts to build several houses. It is understood that his stay will be indefinite, as Jefferson seems determined to put herself in a condition to reap the full benefits of the new business boom which will come with the railroad she is building. Several business bouses and residences will be built, and the town will be more worthy the splendid countv of which it is the capital.” A terrible disaster befell a Mexican rail road train last week. It fell through a bridge and burnt up. It was loaded with soldiers, and about one hundred and fifty of them perished. Harmony Grove High School Exhibition. We had the pleasure of attending the clos ing exercises of the Spring term of this flour ishing school, under the management of Prof. M. L. Parker, on last Thursday and Friday. On Thursday night there was an exhibition of the school, and the programme was made up of speeelifs, compositions, &c. We do not care to weary you with adjectives and particulars, so we will not tell what each one did, but will just say that the exercises were above the average of such things in our schools, and that the boys looked well and the girls were real pretty. On Friday, the forenoon was devoted to the examination of the classes, and at eleven o’clock an address from Prof. Morgan L. Looney, of Hartwell, was down on the pro gramme. At that hour Professor Parker an nounced that he regretted to state that Prof. Looney was indisposed, and would not be able to put in his appearance. This was a great disappointment to the large audience, as they were very anxious to hear the gentleman whose oratorical fame is well known over Northeast Georgia. Prof. Parker pressed Col. J. A. B. Mahaffey, of this town, into service, who, lawyer like, goes about loaded up to the muzzle with gas, which he is ready and willing to shoot off at any time, either for profit or fun. We judge from his theme that the Col. was and had been in a happy frame of mind all that day. and feeling that he was in a good humor and loved all of the world and the balance of mankind. So he launched out on “Love,” the subject up permost in his mind, and gave his hearers a cross between a speech, a preach and an ora tion. But he called it a talk, as if a person could start to talk love, or talk about it, and not grow eloquent. The time he occupied was short, but lie kept his hearers well enter tained, and considering the time he had for preparation, made an admirable talk. Friday night closed the exercises, and the audience was well entertained with dialogues, charades, &c., which suited the crowd ad mirably. Prof. Parker will give his school a few weeks rest and then commence his fall session. We cannot close this article without bear ing testimony to the success Prof. Parker has met with in building up the educational in tercst of Harmony Grove. He most certainly has accomplished great good, and the citizens of that place have cause to congratulate them selves, and should use every endeavor to sus tain Prof. Parker and his able assistant, Miss Parks, in their laudable enterprise. Mr. Charles Ivey, of Gordon, as we learn from the Irwinton Southerner, shipped a lot of peaches to New York, May 30th, which were sold at an average of $24 per bushel. alen? iWoerfeeutents.

Men shake their heads now-a-days, and say the big stores are eating up the little ones. But what made the big stores big? They were all “ little ones” once. Ten years ago we occupied what would be called at present a very small store. To-day we devote TEN TIMES AS MUCH SPACE to business as we did in 1871. What has caused this En ormons Orowth ? Certainly not possession of any secrets of business; certainly not advertising, though that has con tributed its share; certainly not our location. There is only one explanation : Tireless Industry and Fleasing the Public* Pleasing the public means having just what the people want at the- LOWEST POSSIBLE PIIICES. This policy is the one we have pursued for the last ten years. The attractions which we offer ins the assortment, in the quality, and, above all, in the prices of our goods arc such that no ladv cm resist going to J COHENS’ For Latest Novelties in Dress Goods, Dress Trimmings, New Carpels, New Shoes, LARGEST AND CHEAPEST STOCK OF YONYVAAs Ever shown in Athens.
