TALLULAH TOPICS. (RHU sad Tbin'i Noted Down sad DU MB. T.j A ROBINSON. Gentle render, one of the Seven Wonders of Tallulah Palls is Tom Robinson. He is ■ brick, and gold brick at that. M . Robinson started life at a very early aye, with out a stitch of clothing uii his back or a dollar in bis pocket. From this small beginning Robinson has rapidly clirahe.l up the ladder of fortune until be to-day is the proud proprietor of a skat ug rink, a grey mule, a soda fountain aud a blue flannel shirt. Mr. R. has a heart as large as Stone Mountain. lie will turn himself wrong side out any time for a friend. Tom Robinsuu made a mash on us last Sunday, and we are now getting up an ex cursion party from Athens just to see him. MOSS V8. YOUNG. With the exception o a plank barricade in front of Young's hotel, all signs of the late conflict is over. Mr. Moss makes no charge for using his grounds, neither does Mr. Young. The only inconvenience is that Young’s guests have to go up to the gate, at the depot, to pass in. Next winter Mr. Young will build a bridge across the river oppo* site his hotel, make a good path on the other side of the chasm, and he will then be ns Independent as wood sawyer. > . THE VISITORS. There are now about 300 guests at the falls. We stopped at Youn; Hotel, and found it well filled. I has a fine band on hand, and there is dancing every night. It is a gay place, and a number of lovely ladies are now his guests. Mr. and Mrs. Young are great popular favorites with the traveling public, and do all in their power to make the visi tors have a nice time. A BEAR STOKY. The largest bear ever seen in the mountains crossed the river about six miles sbove the tails the other day. He was as large as a small sized cow and made a irack nearly a foot wide. The animal was seen by some men. eho nt once gave pie living in Cohbhim are complaining that the hedges are harbors lor snakes and that it is im possible to kill them.

There it very little small game in the mountains. One party was out lor more than a week and saw no thing but a jay bird to shoot at. Judge Emory Speer it now at the fails and spends a good portion of his time in the woods with his dog aud gun, but saya he has only bag ged one pheasant as yet. There are plenty of fish in the streams if you know when and how to catch them. THE 8INKINO MOUNTAIN. This mountain continues to go down. We spent last Sunday with Mrs. Smith, who lives at its hate, but owing to the wet weather did not make the ascent. It is not much ot an attraction, and we had much rather view the scenery from the summit of Rock mountain, only three miles from the hotel. It is a long and very rough ride to the Sinking Mountain. THE RAILROAD. The people of Rabun do not seem to feel much interest in the ex tension of the North-Eastern, and are content for it to stop at the falls. We conversed with several representative gentlemen, and they teflus that the freight shipments from Tallulah will be quite as great as was the road carried to Clay ton. CITY COURT. Judge Cobb had several criiui nals up before him yesterday. Tom Calloway, for carrying concealed weapons, wes fined fso or 9 months in the chain gang. Tom will, in all probability, try the chain gang. SHERIFF SALES. Sheriff Wier sold some valuable pieces of property yesterday. Mr, Lester purchased a house and lot for seventy dollars. Mr. F.Phinizv " three dol- a small piece of land for Itrs and thirty-five cents, and J. S, McLeroy bought the Lloyd Benton place lor six h tars. aonal rrsttlo and Decapitated BrleSets . .

The Teachers’ Normal Institute in Atlanta had an attendance of 150 up to last Friday. Every teacher in Georgia should attend, as they will ? ;et some fine ideas about teaching, t will probably number 500 before it closes. The county school com missioner should also attend. FOX HUNTING. Mr. Hoyt Wier and Ab. Pitner went out fox hunting Monday night and had a fine race of three hours, but failed to catch it, as it was an old red lox, and they are always hard to catch. Mr. Hoyt Wier is one of the noted fox hunters of Northeast Georgia and has always kept a splendid pack of dogs, and if it is possible for a lox to be caught he has the dogs to do it , DEATHS IN OGLETHORPE. We regret to learn of the death in Ojf!«JjSU:RIL&LMr«. M. H. Arnold, wbirh-aj -vent ocntrVil «•< day evening last. Mrs. Arnold was 1 most estimable lady and beloved iy all who kbew her. . We extenll our sympathy to the bereaved hus band and family of the deceased lady. We learn also that the infant Athens Male Academy, the board of trustees expressed their, pleasure in commending it to the patronae of the public. They desire to reil eratc and emphasize that commen dation now. In several particulars there has been marked progress in the second, over the first year of the administration of the excellent teachers, who are energetically prosecuting their labors there. To some of these particulars we ask leave to direct especial attention. 1st. At the close of the first an nual session, the best that was se cured in the matter of scholarship was an average of over 90 by only two of the pupils. At the close of the last session the papers and marks, when examined and aver aged, showed that zz bad secured that distinction, this being 50 per cent, of the average attendance du ring the whole year. zd, Durirtg the first year of the school’s existence, there were fre quent unpleasant quarrels among the pupils, demanding the attention and sometimes the discipline of those in authority over the schctol. 3ut during the year just dlosed, only two or three difficulties of any kind occurring among the pupils, have come within the knowledge of the teachers, although the same diligence has been exercised to keep'themselves informed. Resi dents in the vicinity ol the school have kindly and cordially congratu lated the teacheis on the manifest improve.ment in this respect. 3d.

Georgia’s most solid and honored business men. Mr. S. was in Ath ens to sell some cotton he had on hand, an.I got 0$ cents for same He ia a self-made man, and tells us that the first money he received was $5 for working in n gold mine. He had this changed into dimes, an^ would copnt it ayer a half dozen times a day." Mr. Stokeiy says he never wasted a dollar in his life, and while denying himself and fam ily nothing, and being surrounded by every comfort, always managed to save something each each year. He it now one oftbe largest Wd- owners in this section, and bis farms all pay him a handsome divi dend. Mr. Stokeiy was raised a paor boy, and had bwt limited edu cational advantages. He is gifted, however, with fine judgment and plenty ol hard common sente, and makes a success of whatever he touches. Wedo not know a man upon whose advice we had sooner rely.

The use of a profane oath is of rarest occurrence, and its effect is to disgrace rather than to exalt its uttercr. In conjunction with this single design, there has existed a perceptibly distinct re ligious influence of gratifying power. In emphasizing the commenda tion of last year the board of trus tees feel assured that the above ut terances will be appreciated by the Athens public. The school is in tended to be conducted in tbe inter est of our entire population, and to be regulated upon such principles as will entitle it to the patronage nf all who havfc the interests of the ris ing youth at heart. With the co operation of those who live here, the board will strive to make this a school in which the course of academic instruction cannot be surpasssed, and a means by which the edacationarfncilities of this c : ty, already so excellent, shall be still further perfected. We aspire to the attainment of such excellence in the elementary and academic cour ses as will attract as much patronage from abroad as is extended to the higher educational institutions in our midst. The opening of the academy for the -ession of ’85 6 will take place on Monday, the 17th day ol August. By order of tbe board of trustees. ■ Maj. M. ; Stanley, Fres. R. L. Bloomfield. Hon. H. Cobb.
