We regret to learn through a private
letter from General J. C. Vaughn of (bis
county, that his health is stiil very bail.
He hid a very severe attack recently in
Knoxville, Tennessee, and it was thought
by his physician at one time that bis recov
ery was extremely doubtful. We hope that
he will act prudently and that his health
may be restored to him soon.

Maj. A. M. Watkins, representing tie
wholesale Boot and Hhoc store of Currier,
Sherwood A Cos., of New York, gave ns an
advertisement, and in our local columns we
gave the house and himself a notice, which
notice was seen and n ad by a North Car
olina merchant who was traveling through
this country solicitin'.; orders for tobacco,
hunted up Maj. Watkins and paid him a
large stun of money, thus saving to the
house more than the amount of the adver
tisement in that singe- in dance in the sal
iug of time and traveling expenses neces
sary. We giv-o this as an evidt nee ol the
advantage o local initio, s.

Richmond, Va., wlp> is now traveling agent
in the t o th, and who recently paid our
town a visit. Vi e have no la sitaney in
saying that Mr. Walker is a reliable g.-u

him from that house will always come up
to his recommendation. The genial
qu ilities and business qualifications of Mr.
Walker will always secure him a situation
in a first class house, and the fact that lie
represents a house is a sufficient guarantee
of the reliability of the bouse. We do
hope that our liquor dealers will furnish
their customers a pure artiel, if drink
they will—which they can always do
through Mr Walker.
Whale llir. .Mutlrr llminxli.
We stated in our last, issue tJmtour nn-r
--ehants were in as good condition ns any
merchants in the State; in other w r-l .r
meant to assert that they were a. , rum, i
as merchants elsewhere. We m!-- ■-■ I,
the same issue that the-merchants Si
vannah declared that they didn’t wish t, -
sell goods now during the. panic.
We understand from that that they don't
wish to sell on time. Now, if it is true
that our merchants are as we stated
prompt in their payment —ind the jobb rs
of Savannah and other cities are not win' -
ing to sell goods, we would like to know
“why it is that onr town is so frequently
visited by agents, or what we call drum
mers, and why do they stay so long. If
our statement is correct in reference to the
promptness of our merchants and the
statement of merchants of Savannah and
other cities is correct in reference to tlieir
disinclination to sell goods, these frequent
and protracted visits by tlieir agents or
drummers is to our mind paradoxical.
We had no inclination to misrepresent the
statusof our merchants nor have we any
disposition to mislead parties at a distance
iwho deal with them. We were acting in
good faith. If the merchants are prompt
and the drummers don’t wanrfo sell, their
frequent and long visits are mysterious
and we fear Hannah is ailing and we
•would like to know what is the matter.
We take pleasure in saying the merchants
whose advertisements appears in the In
dependent are perfectly solvent. We
feel it ur duty thus to speak for our pat
rons when we e in do so truthfully, and for
them drummers need not trouble them
.selves, every payment will be made. We
think there is something wrong but don’t
know what it is but we do know we “schmeil
von leetle mice.

, ments.
The Grnn<l Jurors empanneletl for the

ing fully investigated the condition of the
public buildings, the books of the county
oHi rials, ami thoroughly scrutenizing the
financial affairs of the county and made
report thereon, the present panel have
found its labors very light and agreeable.
We deem it necessary to revise the labors
i of our predecessors.
We fully endorse the recommendations
; contained in the G.mural Presentments of
lust Grand Jury in reference to the dis*
tribution of the pauper fund of tin
county, and we recommend that D. It
j (Jrecoil he required. t > return the balance
of the pauper fund in his hands to
the Treasurer of the county, and that he
only be allowed the amount** lie has paid
• the faltering person#, !i. G. Pitisand wife,
!S. M irphy, K. A. Hpiller, Thomas Self,
Illizabelh Smith and \Y. D. Kirkland, and
further. Hint the said Treasurer he re
quired to p: y out such funds in the future
to Much persons only as are adjudged pau
pers by ltis Honor, Judge Harden, who is,
in our judgement, th proper person to act
upon petition# for assistance from the pau
per fund.
Among other permr. i stricken by the
; last Grand Jury f. om the jiauper list wavs
D. W. Kirkland. We have seen him and
examined into his character and are catis
th and that he is a proper person to receive

Your Grand Jurors recoin mend that h fi
nal settlcnn utbe made with Timothy Aider
man, the former Tax Collector of the
county, and that lie* be paid what my be
due him out of any funds of the conn
tv, and that find receipt; be given by
each party. We would also ask that the
Road Commissioners of the county he re
lieved of the ‘Tlnle Nisi” which was sued
out at the regular November Term of
Court. The roads are in reasonable good
condition. Wo would suggest, however,
that His Honor Judge Harden at the work
ing of the roads next Spring have cross
ings for pedestrians put over every stream
where they are needed.
We would further r-*c > mmend that in
consideration of the fatliful and untiring
service rendered by His Honor, Judge
Harden, Judge of the County Court, that
he be allowed the sum of SBOO as a fixed
salary.
W d"em id s tvice rendered sufficient

The Louisiana Creole Hair Restorer
actually restores the vegetable principle of
the hair when it has been paralyzed by
disease or any other cause. It is really
a medicine) for the hair, and one which is
sis- more pleasant to use from its delight
ful perfume, soft and soothing influence,
and freedom from the disagreeable prop
erties of common hair grouse. It has been
used with success by ladies for nemalgie
headache, and although the proprietors
do not offer it as a specific for pains in
the head, vet there is no doubt, from its
penetrating and cooling tonic qualities, it
might often be used with advantage for
affections of the head, whore this kiud of
treatment ts Indicated.
READ THE EVIDENCE.
Mr Edward \V. Munfntd, n wcU-knnwu
citizen of Memphis, Tennessee, gives us a
very flattering certificate, which is the
more valuable from his disinclination, in
general, to indorse any preparation sold.
His knowledge -f the intrinsic wnrthof the
Louisiana Creole Hair restorer is so great,
however, and instances of the success at
tending its use entile to him frequently,
that, without hesitation, he heartily in
dorses it.

A Capitalist's Seclusion.
One of the marvels of metropolitan lift*
is a case now on trial in tin* Harrogate
Court in New York. It is the history of
an importer who timing twenty-live years
curried two millions und an honorable rep
utation, anmoved day by day among bis
business aequainlanee as a wealthy bach
elor, md yet night after night went to his
home in an obsmv quarter of the city to
meet a lady who claimed and was acknowl
edged to be his wife, aud a few neighbors
who knew him under an assumed name
and neve r dreamed that he was a imi
liommire. George Hardin was born in
the early part ol this century near Belfast,
Ireland, and enme to this country in his
twenty-first year. He established himself
in business in this city as tux importer of
Irish linens, and subsequently became the
agent of a Belfast house. Doing business
alternately in William, Pine, Broad and
and liberty streets he prospered and grew
; rich.
Those who had buwineHS dealings with
•him know nothing of his private life; his
chosen comrades in serial life lmd no
j knowledge of his busiues relations. He
! reticent, retiring, frugal, almost penurious;
his business acquaintance supposed tliut
| he was a rich old bachelor, und few of them
knew where he lived. He finally retired
from the importing business, and increased
his fortune by buying commercial paper
naff making investments in safe securities.
His circle of acquaintance was very* large
und he was well known by leading Irish
residents, and yet for nearly twenty-five
years lie lived as a married man under an
asKsumed name in an obscure street in the
Ninth ward.
In 18-18 a gentleman fifty years old, and
a ludy twenty yeurs younger, leased n plain
two-story house in Cornelia Greet. His
landlord and his neighbors knew them its
Mr. and Mrs. Walker. A young man
named Searles, with Ins wife and two boys j
occupied the second floor of the house
for a year, and afterward kept up the ae- i
quaiiitaneo. Mrs. JHnn, living across the
street, and a few otlu rs, j
visited them, but they seldom made or re
eieve.l calls. In the directory his nanm
was recorded as “Georj.- Walker.” IU
purchased the lious**, and liv. and there with j
his eon ij; in ion until his death.
On the morning of March 7, 1872, Geo.
Walker’s few acquaihtune. ssaw with anmzi -
ment the announcement that Georgiv Har- !
din had died ut No. 22 Cornelia street, and j
soon after the funeral they hoard with in - j
creased wonderment that their old friend,
Mrs. Walker, who had lived ho simply and !
plainly among the m for ."to many years, had
applied for letters of administration on the j
estate of George flft’din, which consisted
rnainlv of personal property worths2,(MX),-
(MX). The administrator- in such eases are
forced to give bonds for double the value
of the personal estate, but, as this was out j
of the question, the Surrogate placed the;
securities in the hands of the United States
Trust Company, and then granted the let-;
ter of administration. At this juncture j
six nephews of Mr. Hardin, residing in Bel.- i
fast, interposed a claim that the lady was j
Mr . Walker, and not Mrs. Hardin -his ;
mi- r ks, and not his wife. As Mr. Hardin
had loft no will, one half of his estate be
longed to this lady, if she was his wife. !
There have been several sessions of the
Surrogate’s Court in this case, and addi- j
t’onal testimony will be offerred to-day.
The contestants, through Burrili, Davis A* j
Burrill, are attempting to show that it was 1
not a legal marriage; the lady, through K. •
H. Corbett and the Hon. Jno. K. Porter,
maintains that it was.

Impbov ement at St. Louis.— The cheer
fulness among merchants on ’Change to- !
day was in keeping with that of yesterday.
Cotton was lively and sales were made
with hut few questions asked at an advance.
Eastern spinners and English buyers
through orders and their agents, wen: in
the market taking offerings liberally.
This was a propitious tign, and had its j
effect in other market products. There is !
now a contsuued hope that there will bo i
no more disturbances,
Made to “See It.”
“T can’t see it,” said Buffer. “Nobody
reads all these little advertisements. It’s
preposterous to think it‘”
“But,” said the editor, * ‘you read wlmt,
interests you?”
“Yes. ”
“And if there’s any thing that you par
ticularlv want, you Jook for it.”
“Gertuinly.”
“Well, among the thousands upon thou- 1
sands w ho help to make up this busy world
of ours everything that is printed is read, i
Sneer ns yon please, Ido assure you that 1
printer's ink is the true open sesame to all
the business success.”
Aud still Buffer couldn’t see it. He
didn’t believe Unit one* half of those little
crowded advertisements were ever read.
“Suppose* you try an experiment,” said
the editor. “Just slip in an advertisement
of the want one of the most, common things
in the world. For the sale* of the teG 1
give it two insertions five. Two will be
enough; and you may have it jammed into
anv out-of-the-way nook of my paper you
select. Two insertions, of only two lines
Will you try it?'’
Buffer said of course he would try it. And
he selected the place where would have it
it published- crowded in under the head of
of “wants.” And he waited and saw a proof
of his advertisement, which appeal'd as fol
lows:
Wan tod A good house dog. Apply to
J. BUFFER. r>7s Towaer st., between the
hours of J a, m. and ‘J p. in.
Buffer w lit ;;w.i v smiling and nodding. On
the following morning In* opt ued his paper
aiid.aftera ileal of hunting,he found his ad
vortisemeuk At first, it did not.seem at all
conspicuous. (Yrtuinly so insignificant a
paragraph, buried in nuch a wilderness of
paragraphs, could not attract notice. After
a time, however, it began to look more
noth e hie. to him. The mere lie looked at
it the plainer it grew. Finally it glared at
him from the close-printed page. But
that was because he was the person partic
ularly interested. Of course it would ap
pear conspicuous to him. But it would
not be so to others.
That evening Mr. Buffer was just sitting
down to tea (Buffer was a plain, old fash
ioned man, and took tea at six,) when his
door-bell was rung. The servant announc
ed that a man was at the door with a dog
to Hell.
“Tell him 1 don't want one.”
Six times Buffer was interrupted while
taking ten by men with dogs to sell. Buf
fer was a man who would not lie. Ho had
put his foot in, and lie must pull it out
manfully. The twenty-third applicant
was a small boy with a girl in company,
who had a ragged, dirty poodle for sale.
Buffer bought the poodle of the boy, and
immediately presented it to the girl, and
then sent them off'.
To the next applicant he was able truth
fully to answer : “Don’t want any more.
I've bought one.”
The stream of callers continued until
near ten o'clock, at w hich hour Buffer
locked rp and turned off the gas.
On the following evening, as Buffer ap
proached his house, he found u crowd as
sembled. He counted thirty-nine men
and boys, each one of whom had a dog in
tow. Then* wi re dogs of every grade, size
and color, and growl, and howl. Buffer
addressed the motly multitude, and in
formed them that he had purchased a dog.
“Then what d’ver advertise for ?”
Aud Buffer got his hat knocked over his
eyes before lie reached the sanctuary ol ins
home.
Never mind about the trials aud tribula
tions of that night. Buffer had no idea
that there were so many dogs in existence.
With the aid of three policemen ho got
through alive.. <>n the next morning he
visited his frieml the editor and acknowl
edged the corn. The advertisement of
“wanted” was taken out, and in the most
conspicuous place, and in glaring type, he j
advertised that he didn’t want any more
dogs. And for this advertisement he paid.
Then ho went home: ml posted upon the j
door -“Gone into the country.” Then he |
bin and a special policeman to guard bis
property, and then he locked up and went
away with bis family.
From that day Josephus Buffer bus nev
er boon heni and to 4 -xpress doubts concerning
the efficacy of printer’s ink; neither has he
asked : “Who rends advertisements V”
