Pay Your Debts.
Tho above isoue of tbe best maxim*
that can be engraven upon the bnmai
heart Not to pay debts, is a specie.*
of dishonesty, which, howover, it mat
be tolerated by reason of tho laxity ot
public morals, is still dishonesty. A
man who would scorn and resent tin
idea of being a rogue, will frequently
keep back the money he owes hi*
neighbor, and speculate on it after In
has promised to pay. By this mean,
ho not only defrauds his neighbor, bn
violates his promise, and thereby for
feits his honor. If a man lies abou
anything else, except paying money, In
is considered a bad in in, not to bo be
lioved or relied upon; but a cash In
don’t connft in. these degenerate times
in many circles. We can, however
inform those slip-shod tin inciers, that
there is a large number of tho best and
purest people in tho world, who look
upon a promise to piy money as quite
as sacred as any other promise, an*l
they look upon a in an who fails to meet
such promises, with as little toleratioi
ns thoy do upon any other species o
fraud. We repeat, therefore, to every
oue whom misfortune has not deprived
of the power to do so, pay your debts.
CHAPTER SECOND.
But whatever you do, pay your smal
debts. Pay the machauic, the laborei
and the tradesman, who has given you
credit It is these little credits that
test tho honesty of m any men. A man
owing several small bills, says to him
self: “My creditors won't sue mo foi
this small amount Ho knows I am
good; I’ll tako tho aggregate amoun
of these few little debts I owo, and buy
a certain lot of hand I have been want
ing for some time. I can "get it pari
on a credit aud the money I had in
tended to have paid A. B. & C’s. smal
account, will make the cashpayment on
the land. Messrs. A. B. &C. won’t
miss the small amount I owe them,
and I can make a pretty speck on this
aggregate.” Meanwhile, Mr. A. is n
merchant who s jld our financier goods
last summer on a sacre.l promise to
pay out of tho first proceeds of tin*
present crop. Hu has his own liabili
ties to meet promptly,®or lose his
standing in market, and by that mean,
stop business. Mr. B. is a shoe-maker;
he has bought his leather partly on
time, relying on numerous sm ill cus
tomers to come up promptly with the
cash. Unfortunately numbers of them
treat him as our financier does. His
note goes by the board. He can get
no more loather, and must go and
work as a journaman, for some shoe
maker who had too much sense to give
credit Perhaps Mr. C, is printer!
has worked hard and faithful,
night and day, and sold newspaper.-
and job work upon a credit If he hu
though, he ought to broak—and yet
printers will sometimes do this foolish
thing, aud their foolishness is no ex
cuse for the careless or dishonest cus
tomer.
Wo know that many people stick to
tbe cash rule, iu all cases, and yet il
seems almost impossible to avoid giv
ing and taking credit at times. If ill
men woro honest, this would he very
convenient and benefit 1 al, but alas !
alas! we soar thst roguery is becoming
popular, and houesty at a discount.

Lst TJs Bar# Peaca.
We notice with much regret a dis
position to run for office in this county
and city, which is highly discreditable
to the patriotism end good sense of
the parties who are nnduly pressing
their individual claims for offioe. We
can elect good and true men to fill ev
ery office in this county and city, if our
citizens will be united and will consent
to yield personal preferences for the
general good. It would be a lasting
disgrace if one single Radical should
be olected to any office, either county
or municipal; and yet the way things
seem to be going, it is possible that
luch thing.; may be.
To-day we have our nominations for
county offices, and we do beg of our
citizens—especially the business men
in town—to turn out to-day and help
nominate a good ticket, especially for
tho Legislature. If we do not har
monize on a good conservative Derao
■rat Dan Johnson will beat us, and
■Spalding county will bo disgraced.—
Let us at least show as much good
tease as tho colored people did in their
□oeting a few days since. They acted
.vitli unanimity, and crushed out all
•pposition in their own ranks. If we
•an’t do it, ice deserve to be beat.
I: is the duty of our citizens to take
iol(l of this matter without gloves, and
f any man seeking office makes too
mjeh blow about it, to discard him en
'irely. W T o don’t want a man for any
)ffico who is unduly impressed with
his own importance; there are snch
■non nmong us. The office should seek
’he man, and not the man the office.—
Let. us select our man for ropresonta
ive and elect him. For c iunty offices
‘hero is not very great contention, and
hero will probably be littlo difficulty
ibout them; out the same rule should
iruvail, we should seek them, and not
hey us.
In our city election, there also ap
>cars to be considerable discord. This,
vo believe, can all bo settled by a citi
zens' meeting, which should be held
hia week, and which should be fully
attended by our citizens. Such a meet
ing was held last fall and resulted
uost gloriously in the triumph of the
utizons’ ticket. Wo believe in an ox
nession of public preferences by and
hrough citizens’ meetings, and all as
lirants should yield to the popular
rill. Those who do not should be
■pitted for future punishment.
Unless we settlo our city election
ii itters very speedily, tho result will
>e shame and confusion of face for all
;ood citizens.
Divine Worship and Cuiqnons. —One
if the main reasons why wo don’t at
tend divine worship oftonor is, the
torrid chignons the ladies wear now
i-days. ;They are about tho size of a
nlf-grown Newfoundland pup, coiled
ip and enclosed in a netyand fastonod
to the back sido of tho head by divers
nysteiions fixtures. How they stick
s a wonder, for wo would as soon un
lertako to carry a bale of cotton on
>ur head. These devilish machina
tions disfigure a pretty woman, and
mke a plain one look awful. Thoy
have no place to wear a decent hat or
lonnet,which makes it necessary for the
ladies to woar a sort of rat's nest in
lieu thereof. Thoy are not made of
'minim hair, horso hair, or even cow’s
iair; and the manufacturer only knows
vhat thoy are made of. They deceive
lobody, and they disgust everybody
iut tho wearer. Asa means of grace,
hey aro damning, both to tho wearer
ind spectator; to tho former, because
t takes all her time to keop her head
balanced so that she won’t break her
ueck; to tho lattor, because all devo
ional thought is banished by disgust
for tho abominable chignon, or sym
pathy for the woaror. Now that Paris
is besieged, why can’t American ladies
iholish this hidooii3 fashion, and let
bald-headed women enjoy a monopoly
thereof? The Scripture says: “The
'lory of a w imaii is her hair,” but it
lidu’t mean these hideous chignons.—
Let them be abolished.
The War.—Wo have not space to
publish tho tangled war telegrams of
Yesterday. They amount to nothing
conclusive. Since tho Orleans battle
nothing in the way of flgliting has
bora done except an engagement at
Dreiix, where the French woro repuls
’d. nothing decisive.
Prospects of an amicable arrange
ment between the Powers of Europe
are brighter, Russia seems adverse to
war. A Congress of all the great pow
ors to decide tho Eastern question is
now being spoken of favorably.—
Prussia is willing to go into this ar
rangement provided her relations with
France are not interfered with. En
gland again proposes an armistice be
tween Prussia and France.
On tho whole we think the signs for
|K>aee nre more favorable, but there is
no telling yet what tho political gam
blers of Europe will do.
Turn.—What ever may snid against
the Democratic party; one thing is
certain, she can always find self-deny
ing patriots enough who will forego
personal considerations, sacrifice pri
vate interest*, ami consent to fill all
tin* good official in the county. This
L-h<c iM u!v iho case in Uriffln Mil
Moulding County just now, any hotly
who says it isn't--Well lie telle a con
founded "whig Us"
Candidates Plenty.—A late oopy of
tne Mobile JKegister contains xouneen
card announcements of candidates for
Mayor of that city. Among the names
is that of Admiral Raphael bemmea. —
It is presumable that these are all |
Democrats. As we take no Radical
paper from that city we have not the
means of knowing how many of that
stripe are in the field, but it is presum
able at least as many as
as the Radical party is in the majority
in Mobile. We mention this fact for
tbe information of those sections of
“our beloved country" .which Lave no
body to run for offioe, so that they may
send to Mobile and Spalding County,
the city of Griffin wont have to send off.
Congressional.—Col. Lawton, Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress, will be
in town to-morrow, and desires to meet
as many friends as possible. He will
make no speech. CoL Thos. Harde
man has promised to visit us soon,
and may be prevailed upon to make a
speech. Tom is a whale.
Latest Telegrams.
London, November 17.—Rumors
come from Berlin, that Great Britain
has received her demand for the ar

successes before Paris, nre circulating.
The French cruisers have captured
many German vessels in the Baltic and
North Seas. The French are elated
over rumors that the entire Prussian
question is believed to exist between
Gortschakoff and Bismarck.
That Gortscbaoff did not consult Bis
marck’s wishes as to the time of promul
gating this declaration, and that Bis
marck desired it postponed.
London, November 18. —A well in
formed correspondent, writing from
Vienna, says:
While Russia might have obtained
revision of treaty, by usual means, tbe
course Russia has seen fit to take creates
a grave situation, shaking all the settled
statues of European policy, and com
pelling common cause of action to re
dress her demands.
The Prussians hold all the strong
holds along the Jura Mountains.
Tho seigo of Sangeryand Montmedy
is imminent.
A sortie from Mezieres is reported.
Vienna, November 18.—The report
of Buests resignation is untrue.
Advices from Orleans to Monday
evening. The Prussians have retired
to tho Northward beyond Arthenay.
The French lmd constructed heavy
earthworks in front of the railway junc
tion, justoutside of Orleans. Ten thous
and men were employed upon the works
The French army under General Pu
ladine was massed between Orleans
and Arthenay. Tho cavalry of the
French was being wretchedly managed
which seriously interferred with their
success. A large number of boats col
lected at Orleans to cross the army to
the southern bank of the Seine in case
of defent in the impending battle.
Madrid, November 18.—A commit
tee of fifteen members of the Cortes
has been appointed to proceed to Flor
ence to present the Spanish crown to

throughout the Provinces.
Florence, November 18.—Aosta has
arrived from Naples. He was met with
enthusiastic acclamations by the people.
New York, November 18.—Wall
street still pivots upon the European
situation. Early news Reemed warlike
and gold advanced. Later advices were
more pacific but again more warlike
and gold closed at tho highest point of
tho day.
Bremen, November 18.—Earl Russell
has written a pamphlet on the situation
He proposes a joint armed resistance
of the powers if Prussia demands more
than Alsace and Lorraine, and urges
England to form a strong reserve based
on tho militia, and to place a strong
garrison at (Quebec under an able com
mander.
Diplomats all claim to have known
that the demands of Russia would be
made sooner or later.
Such public opinion as there is in
Russia is said to be in favor of peace.
It is stated when the Russian Minis
ter at Vienna, communicated to Prince
Gortschakoff a note to Baron Van
Booust, he accompanied it with the
assurances of mo.-»t peaceful intentions
on the part of his goverment.
The Gambler's Pate.
Among tho innumerable anecdotes
related of the ruin of persons, at play
thero is one worth relating, which re
fers to a Mr. Porter, an English gen
tleman, who in tho reign of Queen An
ne, possessed one of the best estates iu
Northumberland, tho whole of which he
lost at hazard in twelve nights.
According to the story of this mad
man—for we call him nothing olse
when ho lind just completed the loss of
his last acre at a gambling house in
London, and was proceeding down
stairs to throw liimßelf into his car
riage to bo carried to his house in
town, 110 resolved to have one throw
more to try to revive liislosse, nnd im
mediately returned to to the room
where the play was going on.
Nerved for the worst that might hap
pen, lie insisted tbat the person whom
he had been playing with, should give
him one chance of recovery, or fight
with him. HiR proposition was this:
That his carrigae and horses, the
trinkets and loose money in his pock
ets. his town house, plate and furni
ture—in short, all he had left in the
worhl except the clothes on liis back,
should be valued in a lump nt a cer
tain price, and be thrown for nt a sin
gle dnsh. No persuasions could pre
vail on him to depart from his purpose.
He throw and lost; then conducting
tho winner to the door, he told his
conclimna that there was liis master,
nnd marched forth into the dark and
dismal streets, without a house or
home, or any other creditable means of
support.

Here’s a Good One.—A handsome
bach, clerk in one of our most popular
dry goods stores is smitten with a fair
resident of a neighboring oity. The
father of the young lady came to Atlan
ta recently and registered at the hotel
where our bachelor friend boards. Aa
soon as this discovery was made, the
old gentleman was looked up and made
the recipient of earnest attention, (snch
as all of os have and are disposed to
pay tho parents of the “hopes for,”) to
ingratiate hituself into his parental fa
vor.
Just before going up to dinner the
old gentleman wanted - information of
the young one, where he could get a
drink of good “peach and honey.”
“Well, I don’t know myself, but I’ve
heard that at bar-rooms good liquors
are kept,” was the innocent reply.
The old gentleman asked the young
one to show him the way.
“Certainly. Though I wont drink
myself,” replied the “teetotaller.”
Arrived at the bar the wants of the
old gentleman was made known. When
the bar-tender turning to the young
man coolly remrked, “I suppose you
will take gin and sugar as nsual Mr.—.”
He “had orter” winked sooner.—

A S there is a general complaint about

keep them from complaining of lIARD TIMES and
SCARCITY OP MONEY. Asa natural consequence,
Hie more Storrs, the LESS THE PRICES OF GOODS.
Having a partuer living North, and having the privU
lege of keeping posted in the markets, we are enabled
to sell cheaper than any other House.—
We have one of the largest

dealing exclusively in CLOTHING. We are, there
fore, enabled to sell at 50 PER CENT, less than any
other House in Griffin.
.intending to make Griffin our future home, we

A3»"’Univernal Clothe*
Improved with Rowell’s Patent Double Cog-wheels
and the Patent Stop, are now unqm far su
perior to any sppartus for washing clothes ever inven
ts l. and will save their cost twice a year, by saving La
bor and clothes.
Southern people who have used them testify as fol
lows:
They save thr»-e-fourthH of the labor and cost, and
pay for themselves both in money and contentment.
Let every young lady learn to use them, and evey
married one keep them in her house.—New Orleaua
Picayune.
“An excellent Washing Machine Wo have tried It.
The Clothes Wringer is very superior. A good hand
will wash a large number of pieces iu a few hours.”—
Raleigh (N. C.) Episcopal Methodist.
“We have one of Doty’s Closhes Washers, and our
household are in testacies over it. They are great
economizers of time and labor.”—Edgefield (8, C.) Ad
vertiser.
“After over two years’ experience with a Doty, we
are assured that it is tho greatest help and econo
mizer of time, labor and money wo have yet bad in
troduced into our household.”—Williamson Smith,
New Orleans.
“I have had a Doty Washer iu my family for some
time, it gives entire satisfaction, and I take pleasure
in commending it to the bead of every household.”—
R. Towers, Jefferson, Texas.
“I have had one of Doty’s Clothes Washers in nee
