The county roads have been almost impassable. Mr. for Ben. Hill on first ballot for Senator. Mr. John Tinsley has located his family in town again. The Savannah News cries out against the intolerably warm weather. It has been only tolerably warm here. The new council will not have the - treets molested with pick and shovel just yet, it is surmised. We acknowledge a visit from Mr. A. S. Murray, of Griffin, this week, who is on a business trip to this place. And yet we are to lose another citi zen, as Col. It. M. Tarver designs mov ing to Dalton. Well mourn thy ab sence, Dick. Shinplasters are not seen darting around as they once did. The small chango which circulates in this locality to a very small extent is mostly spe cie. Bridges Smith’s Paper wants a cor respondent in every town and village in the State,briefly recounting local events, gossip, etc. Write the'editor a letter and send it to him at by Sat urday of each week, and receive a copy of the paper free for one year. We are glad to see our citizens show ing a disposition to assist little Ilallie Davenport, who has undertaken to sup ply transient readers at this place with the Atlanta Constitution. We hope he may bo enabled by increased support to enlarge his orders. An old gentleman who had been in troduced to the bottle a time or two too many on Thursday evening rode his horse leisurely along one of our town sidewalks for several hundred yards as though such priviliges didn’t cost a dol lar apiece. Our readers, wo fool assured, will pe ruse with interest the New York letter in this issue. The writer will bo reo ognizod as our late correspondent from the Centennial, with whom we have an arrangement by which we are to obtain a letter weekly from his trenchant pen, for some time, perhaps This feature cannot fail to be appreciated. If our friends will, they can help us along, wonderfully by keeping us posted on little happenings that come under their notice which would be of use in tanking up our collection of town and county news. There is no item hirdly insignificant enough to be without in terest to some of our readers. 'J he marriages, deaths, accidents, and inci dents of the day, with reports of condi tions of crops, etc., are what we are al* ways glad to mention in our columns. Mr. Berry Boaz, we understand, is to leave Calhoun with his family for Atlanta next week, where he goes to open up a trade in the products of the Oothcaloga Mill. Be leaves his mill interest in the hands of Col. Fain, his partner, who wiil ship him from this point. We are sorry to lose from among us Mr. Boaz, who has for years been pne of Calhoun’s most substantial citizens, and heartily wish him success in his contemplated undertaking. Wo have heretofore neglected to tioc the death of little Ella, daughter of Mr. Thomas L. Tanner, which oe„ eured early in the present month. Her illness was of few days duration only, and her death fell with heaviness on her family, and the sad event also touched the tenterest curd in the hearts of her friends, being the snatching away of a bright jewel from their cir cle. She was a consistent and indus trious member of the Union Sabbath School. The Centennial Calendar published by J. H. Zeilin & Cos., proprietors of “Simmons’ Liver Regulator," is a desir able book, containing as it does uumer* ous cuts and items relating to the ever memorable Exhibition of 1876,a150 val uable tables, useful receipts and much other information, including the valua ble properties of “Simmons’ Liver Reg ulator." Four millions of these alma nacs are in press for gratuitious distri* button on receipt of one cent stamp to pay postage to those making application. Tho unparalleled cold weather this winter has brought with it may freeze out the grasshopper and 4 it may not, bu\ that human specimen we are all so well acquainted with—the tramp — plies his vocation in all sorts of weath*- er. The band organ man wheezed out the most modern airs—such as “Cap* tain Jinks of the Hoise Mamies,” from his machine on Monday while a small girl, hisMaughter and companion, received the few stray nickels handed over as their income. Tho next visitors put in!* appearance on Tuesday, and were umbrella tink ers. They warmed themselves up in a way which was effectual io introdu cing them to the community, and fioaL ly landing them into the calaboose for repairs. Afterwards upon liberation they applied at one of our hotels for the usual comforts, and because the proprietor refused to entertain them for proffered considerations they intimated a disposition to "bestow their stock in trade, consisting of a few broken um brellas upon the person of the host, without designating the parts which should therewith come in contact. — Coming to understand that a boot-toe, as a modem persuader in the neighborhood of their coatnails might be engaged to assuage their belligerent proclivities they s icoucluded to try the art of bull-dosing another hotel. Those who received the last issue of the Sunny South could not but appre ciate the admirable new features which the publisher has added to that already popular Southern weekly.

The next number will contain the first installment of the “History of the Secret Civil Service of the Confed erate Government.” Mr. Seals is fast demonstrating the fact that a Southern literary paper con live and prosper in the South. The Southern people who love their Sunny South have determined it would seem to sustain This publication which possesses the merits requisite to suit Southern tastes, and less Northern made literature will be likely to enter the Southern household The pub lisher of the Sunny South designs is suing at an early day anew illustrated paper for the young folks, to be called “Boys and Girls of the South.” We wish this publication unbounded suc cess. We stated in last weeks issue that Rev. A. M. Thigpen, the Presiding Elder for this district ;would probably take up his abode in Calhoun, We are glad state that he has arrived with his family, and takon quarters with Mr. Atkio, of the Calhoun hotel. The poetry on the first page of this issue, entitled “A Maiden’s Thought,” was written by a young lady in Coving ton, Ga., and is worthy the attention of a careful perusal. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the young gentleman who received the fare ./ell letter from his darling one, the other day. He now seeks a solitary place where he may give vent to his sad and lonely feelings in floods of bit ter tears. — Annie Logan, contributor to the Sunny South, Covington Star, Georgia Enterprise, Rockdale Register, and oth er journals is fast winning tor herself an enviable reputation as a gifted and graceful writer. Appearances are oft' n deceptive. A well dressed female last week stopped at one of our hotels and when she depart ed numerous little household trinkets went also.

In no other wayjcan a person get back so large a profit for a very little money, as to expend it in learning what to do, ichen to do it, and hoio to do it—in oth er words, to have his trains help his hands. Here is one way to doit : The small saving or extra production of less than half a cent a day, or three cents a week,will now procure a large,beautiful, cheap Journal,for all of 1877 splendid., ly illustrated, with over 600 fino origi nal engravings, and a thousand columos of the very best,plain practical, trustworty information about the every day in-door and out-door work and oom forts of every homo,-in country, village and city. This information is not pre pared by mere scribblers, but by a large force of intelligent men and women,who know what they write about, and they are assisted by many others, who nish information from their own prac tice and observation. Such a Journal as the American Agriculturist, so named because started 35 years ago as a rural journal, but since greatly enlarged and improved to suit the daily wants of every man woman, and child in city, country,and village—for the farmer and gardener, the merchant, and mechanic, the professional man —indeed, all class es. It is packed full cf useful unfor mation that every one;onght to have. — Manv single hints and suggestions will will nay more than a whole year’s cost of the paper. Its original and engraved plans for buildings and improvements, with details of cost, etc., and common sense far more than a majority of tbe costly works on archi tecture. Great care is exercised to have every line in the paper reliable. Its con stant, persistent, and full exposure of a multitude of humbugs and swindles, are alone worth far more than ics cost, and have saved to the country and its read ers millions of dollars that would have gone into tbe hands of sharpers. The departments for housekeepers and chilr dren are verv useful and entertaining. — In short the American Agriculturist is full of good things, and out to be in ev ery house in the land. The circula ion is so large that the publisher can supply it at a little above the cost of the prirt ing paper —or §1 GO a year, sent post paid ; or four copies 85.40.

Counctt. Room, ] Calhoun, Ga., Jan. 22, 1877. ) Council met with full board. The condition of the streets and the best means of remedy was discussed at length, and made the principal business of the evening. Owing to the heavy freezes and excessive snow and rain fall, the streets having become almost impassable, especially to pedestrians, it was deemed advisable to use all the available means for the bettering of their condition, and was agreed that nothing would so perfectly and perma. nently accomplish ttiis end as stone and gravel. It was recommended that the principal footways across the streets be graveled and supplied with stepping-stones. On motion, the whole matter was re ferred to Street Committee. On motion, council adjourned. M. A. Moore, Chairman. R W. Thornton, Secretary. The spelling match at the academy on Monday night was an interesting occasion, a good crowd being present and quite a number taking part in the contest. 'The school spelled against the town first, and though they held the floor very modestly for a while they were overcome by the shrewd mastery of words displayed by their opponeuts. — There will be another “spell" indulged in next Monday night, when it is hoped the weather will be moderate enough to admit of a good attendance. We hearti ly appove of this pleasant and instruc tive mode of passing away the winter evenings. Mr. John M.

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Notn ing can restore the hair where the follicles are 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, the 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. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Cos. f Practical and Analytical Cheininta, LOWELL, MASS. on raimT WHAT WILL BECOME OF IT*? Is a question now agitating the public mind.
