enjoyable affair.
The Methodist Sunday school elected
Prof. J. D. Scott, Superintendent, and
Mr. J. C. Harkins, Secretary, last

Leap year has gone, yet it is ala.
mentable fact that some of the old

blessedness.”
Messrs. Marshall & Lee have moved
their stock of goods from their old stand
and opened out in the western store room
the Young building.
We call attention to the card of Mr.
Arthur in our advertising columns.—
Mr. Arthur enjoys a worthy support
on account of fairness in business and
low prices.
Fanners are getting ready* to make
their annual guano purchases. They
swear against it every year, and then

The Love Feast service held at the
Methodist church last Sabbath, was
very touching and impressive. It was
largely attended, and a number of the
tnembers of the church related some of
their Christain experience.
it is rumored that Rev. Mr. Thig
pen. the Presiding Elder of this dis
trict, will probably make Calhoun his
home. We feel confident that our cit
izens would extend him a cordial wel
come into our community.
The snow has mehcd away, the warm j
sunshine has followed and intercourse !

The students of the academy again
Challenge the public for a spelling match
on next Monday night. W hope enough
fcill be on hand to make the occasion in*
interesting. These marches are in j
tended to benefit the school, and ought
to be encouraged.
Some of our merchants have got the
blues. We advise such to dust up
their shelves, put in anew stock of
goods, a good advertisement in their
home paper, and exlrbit more healthy
signs of enßrterprise. If this don’t
brighten things up we shall thiuk the
country is paralyzed.
We feel constrained to drop a word
this week in behalf of our worthy con
temporary, the Dalton Enterprise. It
seems to be picking up wonderfully
s nee the first of the year in news and
interest. But this, from the pen of the
editor perhaps explains it all: “In con
sequence of our prolonged absence at
the State Capital, this paper owes what
ever merit it may possess to ‘our better
half.'"
Council Proceediu^.
Council Room, j
Calhoun, Ga , Jan. 15,1877. )
Council met with a full board, and
went into secret session, and discussed
some general and special .questions.—
Feeling the importance of general re u
trenchmcnt to meet the exigencies of
the times, determined to reduce the
salaries of the officers, which resulted
as follows: That of Marshal from
$450 to S3OO ) of Chairman from $75
to $65; of Secretary from SSO to S4O J
of Treasurer from S4O to S3O.
The election for Marshal was then
taken up, and on the fourth ballot A.
R. T. Black was unanimously elected.
On motion, council adjourned.
M. A. Moor, Chalfman.
R. W. Thornton, Secretary.
The members of the Gordon County
Agricultural Society are respectfully
requested to meet at the Court House,
on the first Tuesday in February next,
to elect officers for the ensuing year,
and also to elect delegates to attend the
Convention to be held in M illedgeville
the first Tuesday, 16th day of March,
1877. Delegates elected for the spring
meeting of the Convention will also
be allowed to attend the fall meeting of
the Convention. We hope that our ag
ricultural friends will turn out en masse.
These conventions have been produc
tive of much good, giving an opportu
nity for tlie interchange of opinion of
the planting community of the various
sections of the State. The transactions
of the society are printed and sent to
tho members of the various agricultu
ral societies of the State, thus affording
those who do not attend an opportuni
ty of knowing what has been done.
The February number of Ballou’s
Ma gazine is a capital one, full of sto- j
ries of rare interest, and illustrations
that would be creditable to any publi
cation in this country. There is such
a variety in Ballou’s that the people
1 ikc it, and will buy it no matter bow
bard the times are or the attractions
which other serials present. One of
the stories in Ballou’s is alone worth
the prico of the magazine, and then in
every issue can be found a dozen or
twenty tales which can always be read
wiih pleasure, not to mention the poe
try, and household articles, and humor
ous cuts, which will tell their own sto
ry. Ballou’s very soon becomes a fa
vorite with any one who procures a few
numbers. Published by Thornes &
Talbot, 23 llawley Street, Boston, at
only $1.50 per year, postpaid.
Wo call attention to the advertise
ment of C. W. Langworthy, agent for
Alabama,Georgia and Tennessee for the
Shouinger piano. Besides the low prices
and excellent quality of the instru
ments he sells, there are other advanta*
ges in buying from him. Being a skill*
ful tuner, and acquainted with the most
intricate parts, he always guarantees to
his purchaser the instrument he sells,
and that from a personal kn jwledge of its
merits, and there is no danger of being
swindled. He has supplied many fam
ilies with instruments in this immediate
section,a'l of whom are are ready to tes*
tify in bis favor.
We don’t say it boastingly, but we
do believe that for church-going peo- j
pie Calhoun cannot be excelled. This I
-was fairly tested last Sunday. The 1
mud aud slush was shoe-mouth deep, j
and the weather was very inclement, I
but notwithstanding this, there were !
preaching at the Biptist and Metho- j
Gist churches, and large and attentive j
congregations were to be seen at both
churches. This speaks well for the peo
ple, and reflects credit on the towrn.
Rev. Mr. Dictcey, the new pastor of
the Methodist church, is at his post,
and preached to our people last Sun
day night, making a favorable impres
sion. The parsonage being in a la
mentably bad condition, Mr. D. will
move bis family into the house owned
by Mr. Oglesby, hear the church, the
church having secured it to his use fot
the year.
Mr. L. L. McArthur has taken charge j
of the shops lately conducted by Mr. |
A. W. Reeve, and will give his atten
tion to all kinds of wood and black
smith’s work. Mr. McArthur will ex
ecute work in his liue at hard time fig
ures, and will eudeavor to merit a lib
eral share of patronage. Horse-shoe
ino, at one dollar and other work at :
O
prices correspondingly low.
Frank Wyatt will soon leave town
and move out to his father s place in
the country, where he and his excellent
wife will assist in looking after the in
terests of the parental home, which has
been sorrowfully deprived recently of
its maternal bead. Ilis younger broth
er, Reuben Wyatt, will take bis place
as operator.

Our Sunday schools seem to have
taken new life at the opening of the
new year, and are moving forward un
der favorable prospects for a flourishiug
year of good work.
Mr. W. L. Lampkin, of the firm of
Pendletons & Lampkin, Atlanta, was in
town yesterday. This firm is anew one
and we hope he succeeded in intro*,
ducing his house in our place, and that
his visit may lead to many future orders.

Ayer’s
Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair ter
its natural Vitality and Color.
with tko gloss and freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and baldness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where thtf
follicles ate destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, tho
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambric,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful
perfume.
