Dr. Taber is perhaps, the most success: fill physician in this rdspe t in the south or even in the United Staves, Many of his cures are marvelous, while his treatment is simple and pleasant. Prompted only by a feeling of humanity, we say to all who are unfortunate suf ferers to see him and take his treatment. His prices are reasonable and his success without a parallel.

Q life an excitement was raised on th<J 0 j d g efl Gregory place last M oil day. W* learn that Bob Gregory was out digging some post holes, when he struck a large rock which sounded hollow, fie dug it up, and found that it had been dug out and contained, wrapped up in leather, a considerable amount of gold. He will let no one see il, and says it is his as he found it on his own land. As it is no doubt the money of old Ben Gregory a big »ow may be ex¬ pected over it We know that there is no town where the papers work harder for the mterast of their merchants firm do the Solid South and this paper, of this place. Brothers Maddox & Irwin nevei iet slip an opportunity to say a good word to bring trade, neither do we. How well our efforts are appreciated all can see. Some of our merchants appreciate our efforts ana give us patronage, while there are others who receive the benefit of our work and give us no substantial thanis therefore. If advertising was money thrown away, we would not ask you for it, but it pays in every instance, j 'ybj™ a man advertises honestly, five ole- We learn that one of oar good ol 1 farmers, Mr. McNair, thinks we are ovposed to agriculture.

These are the very things'Conyers do not need. We dare say the collections of our mer ( .[i an ts have been much better than the collections of the merchants of Coving. ton- The thousands . f dollars that have J een pa li t,r wh “ ky> l>i ! lwrd8 ’ e *°’ in Covingt:n are as so much tax, and are repn#80nted b y so many dollars in «u paid accounts and notes, while in Coil y'ers every cent has been applied to the indebtedness of our hard wording pco pie and die enormous tax of from ^25,ooo to ^30000, ftrmerly paid by them tor whisky, etc., has been removed. How any sane man can preach for whisky and other usel ss and demoralizing luxuries, claiming that they benefit a people, is a mystery fo us.

Mr. Eliis is a son of Mr. J£. P.

So fur we have not a single announce¬ ment for Congress in this district, al¬ though the names of several gentlemen have been mentioned. One or two At¬ lanta gentlemen who, at one time, it was thought, would be candidates, have, we believe, decided hot to make the race. An Emory college student witting to the Gainesville Eagle says: “J s Emory college sorely ili favor of the education of the negro? N () . While we believe our beloved president has the at , heart, we can not . agree cause with him, nor do all of the students, aa might le supposed. The liveliest discussion we have ever Heard was between the Few and Phi Gamma societies recently, subject. ‘Resolved, that the United States should furnish sufficient means to educate tlie negro.’ The Fews debated from a, standpoint, but the Phi » complete viotorj with mg alive side. We would not write this, but there are some people who-think that everybody who goes to Emory college must make a Methodist preaclier, or advocate Northern views, etc., which is false.’ LIBRARILY We want a library.
