_ THE POST. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, IHV.> R. L. HICKS, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR AilvrrtiaiiiK Put cut* MvilicincH Wc reprint the following sensible remarks from the lluwkmsvillc Dis fnitnh, because they agree bo well with our own views ami practice** in con ducting the Post. As our readers know a patent medicine law never been advertised in tho Post. The Dispatch says: “Wc often wonder what prices our brethren of the Georgia Press re coivc for advertising the many patent inedicines displayed in their columns. Messrs. Paucity & Co., of New York, have made us three propositions to insert Tiitt’a and Naddford's electro types—tho former ten uud the hitter six inches. Their lirst pio|M>sition was for about 148, less usual commis sion, for both advertisements one year, payublc in Pago’s wood typo, metal job typo, or nows ink. Their second proposition was $65, and tiioir lost, proposition for $70. We have declined all—not that wo don’t want advertising, but because we bo- lievc that such advertisements— usually displayed in huge, blaok typo*—mar the uppoumneo of a pa- |>cr, and tho render Incomes greatly disgusted at finding them before him every week for a year. A country paper that can work up *ix hundred, eight hundrod or a thousand good puy>in-udvnnco sub scribers, cun do bottor business by giving reading matter than by Insert ing such advertisements. Wo boliovo advertising agencies could bo mado beneficial to publish ers, but tho publisher will find it nocossarv to bo exacting and dis criminating in making contracts. We hoc tluit somo of our exchanges are advertising “Smith’s Worm Oil,” uud if the hideous looking roptiles, squirming in tho air, aro not sulli- oiont to disgust a modest and sensible reader, tho language of tho advertise ment must assnrodly do so. A child IIvo yours old—forty worms one time, and so many tho next time “couldn’t count ’om.” Such a nau seating pioturo and languago are enough to render a paper an unwel come visitor in any household. Tho oiroulntiou of the Dispatch is botwoon sixty and seventy quiroa, and Wo think wo aro justified in re fusing an advortisomont at tho same prioo paid to papers of oight hundrod or uino hundred oiroulation. This is tho ninth year since wo rosumod control of tho Dispatch, and it hus boon our constant aim to plou80>our subscribers rather than soouro advor- tisements “to fill up.” Wo startod with less than a dozen cash subscri bers, but wo sot out to do u cash bus iness and to get pay for all our work. Ton subscribers and twenty dollars cash aro worth more “in tho long run” than a twenty dollar udvortisc- incut of six or oight inehos published for a year. That is tho oaloulation wo have mado, and nine years in the business confirms ns that wo are right.” Truth Hi ranger than Fiction, [Cbehrum Knkrpri#?'] •, Mr. Robert Nichols vouches for the following wonderful story: An elderly lady living near him bus for twenty years carried a brass pin in her mouth, day and night during which time it has never been out of her month. She frequently moves it from ono sido to the other, and by request will exhibit it on tho tongne, but not suffer it, under any oiroum- stanees, to be removed from tho mouth. Slw will not communicate her reasons for this very strange freak. We know Mr. Kiohols to bo perfectly reliable aud truthful. Mothers now need have no fear of brass pins producing sore mouth; still, you children had hotter use them for some other purpose. Swainsboro Hr raid: “Prof. G. J, Orr, State school commissioner, will address the citizens of this county at tho Court House, on the 23d mst., on tho educational interests of the day. He favors Hie Moffett Boll Punch, and a dog tax. The address will, m» doubt, U* highly entertaining aud instructive, and we hope that Professor Orr will have a large audience.” The English have suffered another disaster at the hands of Hie Zulus in Sooth Africa. Superior Court. The April term of Suj>erior court for this county was ushered in last Monday by a rainy und bln taring morning. But towards the middle of the forenoon the rains ceased the winds lulled and the peo ple poured in apace till ns large n crowd assembled as is common for the first day of court. Tho Grand Jury being impaneled, retired select ed Mr. Daniel II. Coombs ns foreman, returned and were sivom in, when Judge Pate proceeded to dolivor a clear aud impressive charge touching the duties of that important body. Ho dwelt with emphasis upon the deadly hip-pocket aud the still more deadly jug. And his natu rally incisive language was made burningly eloquent by tho fact that the Jury and the people felt and knew thut tho life example of the judge was the ciubodiiftcut of tho precept ho was endeavoring to incui- eato. Tho visjting attorneys aro: Col. Wm. A. Lofton nml I. Hardeman, Esq., of Macon ; Col. E. M. Broyles and N. E. Harris, of Atlanta; Col. J. T. Shoomuko, of Augusta ; Judge F. Chum hers and 0. Bowor, Esq., of Irwinton; Mr. Kay, Esq., of Brunswick ; J. A. Thomas, Esq., of Coclmiu ; Col. J. T. Glover, of JoL fersonvillo; A. F. Daley, Esq., of Wrightflvillb; wo also notice Capt. Johnson of John Flannery & Co., of Savuunuh; Mr. Jus. E. Crosslaud, of Macon ; J. B. Jones, of Burke ; Solicitor Thus. Eason, of Mt. Vernon and Mr. M. L. Burch, of tho East man Times. The absence of Con. Eli Warren, who has missed only about threo courts hero in us many generations, was conspicuous. Why ho failed to oomo wo have not learned. Tho first ease called was tho old Fullwobd vs. Shoomako case which has boon in court boro sinoo January 1829, and lias novel* boforo been brought to trial. To speak .a little more accurately, it has once or twico boon taken out of court, but only ti bo brought hack with ronowod dotor- initiation on both sides. Tho nature of tho case is well known to most of our roudoiN. Tho trial is in progross as wc go to pross and will probably last two or threo days. Conilor Items. Mr. Morris Dawson, of Emanuel county, hus tukon tlio mail route from Dublin to Hurtridgovillo and will do our friends on tho Huvnnnah Road quito a favor. Mr. Gns Spivey was thrown, from a mule on the 8th iust. and seriously hurt, Rev. J. M. Donaldson is quito ill with pnoumoiiia. Mr. Henry B. Donaldson hud somo cotton killed by the frost, but has more now thut is growing finoly. A 1*000111 visit to om* noadomy re vealed tho fact that Prof. Thompson is a first olass teacher, it is pro gramme of rooitations and rules of tho sohool aro nicely printed for tho convonymco of pupils. If tho “four” will only put seats und stops to tho house wo think it will ho boiiio in ducement to him to stay with us lon ger tluiu ho now speaks of doing. Om* fanners aro muoli in need of min. A drummer from Baltimore was in town last Sat,unlay trying to sell goods and wait till fall for pay. Johnson Items. Thom is considorablo sickness in Johnson county yot. Mr. Slmdo Williams, was vorysiok last Monday. Mr. Griflitt ono day last wcok firod an old sodgo field, and in passing over it after it had been burned off lie found a wild eat that had nearly burned to death. Mr. Henry Harrison is going to put a stock of goods in tho house on tho corner opposite) Messrs, Haines & Snell. Ando Outlaw is going to move into the house where Messrs.

It is rumored around lioro that Jndgo Johns.m wont fishing after court in Wrigtsvillo, Kgga have been very seuree since Court. The Jtcidsvillc Democrat is the name of a new paper just started in Tattnall county by Mr. Fred. W Symons. Gov. Colqnitt will deliver the memorial address in Columbus on tho 26th of April. The Columbus monument will bo unveiled at that time. Tyndall, in a recent lecture, said that another decade would sec the air filled with passenger balloons as safe, and perfectly under control as the steam conveyances now used. The next session of the Georgia State Sunday school association will bo held in Mucon, beginning on the 30th of May. It is hoped tlmt every county in the State will bo represent ed in tho convention. Tho call is issued by Mr. J. B. Estes. Darien Gazette: “If Georgia is not soon blessed with a few hangings she will certainly luivo to resort to lynch law. Crime luis got to be suppressed and the sooner the better. Let ns have a few bangings at once. Don’t delay the mnttor any longer.” Lumpkin Independent: “About Scptombor last largo quantities of butterflies were seen going toward the cast and it was a rare occurrence that one was ever seen going in a contrary direction. If our renders will take tho pains tonotico they will sec a great many of these little trav olors flying in a west or north-west erly direction. In no instance will their flight be in an easterly course.,” Tho State of Ohio realized last year by tho tax on dogs the hand some sum of $236,758. It is very doubtful if Ohio burbot's so many worthless curs as Georgia which gets no revenue at all from tho dogs. On tho other hand, however, Ohio is one of the greatest shcop-raising States on tho continent—Licking county having 200,544 licud, worth $461,123 and Paulding county, tho smnllosf. producer of wool and mutton, having 3,637 sheep.—[Sav.

Representative Stephens is a man of decided ability, but lie has never yot turned it to any acponiit. His vanity always runs away with him and henco ho is nevor found in accord with anybody else, lie is always imprketicablo and running into un heard of vagaries.

This splendid machine combines all the improvements.
