washer is a funuel-shaped aparntus and
does its work by pressure of air, and
supercedes inexcellencc any machine yet
invented. The soap has upon trial been
universally pronounced ahead of any olh

find a good demand for the machines

Some time iu la9t week Mr. John A.

Pulliam being unusually fleshy, fell on
his head and shouldeis and sustained
severe injuries. He was carried to Mr.
Neel’s house, and his wife was imme

was able to be removed to his home on

Resaca, G a., 'March 7, 1877.
Dear Times :
W ere I competent I could get up
many interesting items from Resaca, but
as I do the best I can I hope all will
be satisfied. Why will farmers go to
Tennessee to buy their wagons and
buggies, when they can get a better ar
ticle put up at home for less money, by
patronizingjhomc industry? We could
keep much motiey here that is sent
west and north. I examined a wagon
a few days ago that was put up in this
place by Messrs. Lane & Smith. The
wood work done on this,, wagon was su
perior to any western work I ever saw,
and as for the iron work, Mr. Smith is
a graduate on i. cuing wagons—he has
put many fancy touches on this wagon
—he has made some of the hooks and
rings to represent a suake, and they are
so much like a snake *hat it made
your correspondent jump and think he
was snako bit when he discovered them.
If anyone wants a good wagon or bug
gv, Resaca is the to get it put up
eheap and^good.
Resaca is some on jumping—morning
and evening'a crowd can be seen in
some part of our town jumping. Car
tersville tiied Resaca on a jump for a
prize a few days ago, but Resaca came
off first best and and claimed the coffee
pot.
Resaca is a very orderly little town.
We have only one bar-room here, and
it is a show to see a drunk man on our
streets. One would think the Good
Templars were in a prosperous condi
tion, but to the contrary, they are be
low par. The lodge is disorganized,
but we understand the children have a
very good working Cold Water Temple
here at this time.
I understand there is quite an inter,
esting debating society at Union Hill, a
church and school-house ’ about two
miles from Resaca. I have never had
thespleasure of attending any of their
debates, but intend to at an early day.
I have been told there are between
fifteen and twenty members,- the most
of whom are gGod orators and quite in
teresting.
We understand that Resaca is to have
two trick buildings erected this sum
mer —one a business house —the other
a residence. If they are erected it will
greatly add to the looks of our town.
Why this place does not improve is
more than I can understand. We have
a good opening for capital. We have
one of the best flouring mills in
gia standing still. Our saw mill is to
be started s-ion, I learn, to run regular
ly, which will look more like business,
and give employment to several hands
Mr. J. R. Noble is only running his
corn mill two days in a week now, but
still turns out splendid meal.
One of our young men became quite
romantic not long since at a party,
judging from the following which was
found in a “smashed up” hat, a few
da'f. ago, not far from ;
•‘lie blushed a fiery red ;
Her heart went pit-a-pat ;
She gently hung her head,
And looked down on the mat.
“He trembled in his speech ;
He rose from where he sat,
And shouted with a screech :
‘You're sitting en my hat!’ ”
Very respectfully,
Moses.
The spring term of Gordon Superior
Court couvened Monday, and business
has been progressing that
tribunal very rapidly this
week. Judge McCutchen’s charge
to the jury was deliverd in his usual
able and earnest manner, and contained
a concise definition of their duties ul>
der the law. Among lawyers present
besides the local bar we notice Cols.
Shumate, Johnson, Jones, Walker and
Moore, of Dalton, and Cols. Gray and
Johnson, ot Cartersviile. The atten
dance of the people of tha county is
not as large as usual, and the business
genera’ly, we believe is of a less impor
tant nature.
Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary has
now stood the test of time, and receiv
ed in approval not only that popular
verdict which in the United States has
called for over fifty million copies of the
Webster series, but the Thorough en
dorsement of our best scholars, as put
forth individually, and in the pages of
the authoritative periodicals. It is not
only, to quote Professor Stowe, “in
many respects the greatest literary
work which America has ever pro
duced,” but it is in many respects the
greatest literary work produc and in any
nation or age. — New Yok Mail.
We call attention to the price list
and business card of M. A. Gee & Cos.,
dealers in doors, sashes, blinds, &c,
Chattanooga, Tenn These gentlemen
have a first-class business reputation
I Their stock is al ays complete, and as
will be seen by their price list, their
1 goods are lower tbau usually sold. We
trust this firm may succeed in building
up a guod trade iu this section. All
who contemplate improving their boos s
should consult them before making
'.their purchases.
Our'readers are asked to notice the
advertisement of Messrs. Harris A Gore,
who have rented the Reeve shops, and
are making to order all kinds of furni
ture. This is a home enterprise worthy
the attention of the people, and should
be encouraged. We have examined the
quality of their work and offer ou”
commendation. Thev propose in a short
while t*) keep a stock of their work on
hand, so that purchasers can make their
own selections at once. They are clev
er gentlemen and we wish ' them suc
cess.
We have received from Mr- F. W.
Relmick, Cincinnati, Ohio, a -beautiful
piece of music “He Holds the Fort in
Heaven,” which is a tribute to the
memory of P. P. Bliss,*the sweet singer
who lost his life in the Ashtabula dis
aster several months since, and who
sung “Hold the Fort” with so much
power in the Whittle and Bliss meet,

We had a pleasant call to-day from
Mr. S, R. Hutchins, of Covington, Ga.,

SENT BY TELEPHONE.
Newspaper Dispatches
Seat by a Human Voice Over
the Wires.
Salem, Feb. 12, 10:55 p. m. —Prof.
A. Graham Bell, the inventor ot that
wonderful instrument the telephone,
which has caused so much interest in
the scientific world and which is now
becoming so popularly knowu, lectured
on his invention at Lyceum Hal! this
evening. The lecture was one of a
course of the Essex Institution, * and
about 500 persons were present. Ihe
lecture was very well received and the
frequent and long-continued applause
showed that the audience appreciated
fully the wonderful uses and the exper
iments made with the machines. Prof.
Bell briefly explained the construction
ofthe instrument and then sketched his
studies of the system of transmitting
sounds. He explained that it was his
first attempt before an audience to try
these different experiments. An inter
mittent current was first sent from Bos
ton to Mr. Thomas A. Watson, Prof. I
Bell’s associate. Thi- caused a noise
very similar to a born from the tele
phone. The Morse telegraph alphabet
was then sent by musical sou ids, and
could be heard throughout the hall. —
The audience burst into a loud applause
at this experiment. A telej honic organ
was then put into operation in Boston.
“Should Auld Acquaintance be For
got ?” and “Yankee Doodle” were read
ily heard through the hall and heartily
recognized At this point Prof. Bell
explained how he learned to
TRANSMIT THE TONE OP THE HUMAN
VOICE,
and paid a grateful tribute to Mr. Wat
son for a song, and “Auld Lang Syne”
came Lom the mouth-piece of the in
strument almost before his word.s were
ended. Mr. Watson was then asked to
make a speech to the audience, lie ex
pressed himself as having more confi
dence eighteen miles away than if he
were present Ilis speech was aj fol- ;
lows : “Ladies and gentlemen—lt gives
me great pleasure to be able to address
you this evening, although I am in Bos
ton and you in Salem.” This could be
heard thirty-five feet distant—that is,
all over the hall, and brought down the
house with applause. A system of j
questioning was then carried on and Mr.
Whitson was asked if he heard the ap
plause. The answer was, “I was not
listening. Try again.” The applause
was at once given and its receipt
AT ONCE ACKNOWLEDGED IN BOSTON?
Coughing and singing were then
heard and a variety of questions wore
then asked from the Salem end, and
among them : “What news from the
electoral commission ?” followed by the
distinct answer of “I don’t know of
any.” But the news came fleeting
along that the engineers of the Boston
& Maine Railroad had struck Gen.
Cogswell asked if trains were running ;
the answer was clear and distinct that
they were not at 5:30 o’clock. Pruf.
Bell introduced the Rev. E. C. Bolies,
who said : “I shake ban Is with you
cordially in imagination twenty miles
away.” The Rev. ES. Atwood ask
ed : “Does it fain?” ‘‘lt does not in
B 'Ston,” was Mr. Watson’s answer.—
Prof. Gage, the electrician, then spoke
through the telephone, endeavoring to
have his voice recognized. This could
U“t he done, as Mr. Watsou was not
familiar with the voice. Mr. Shaje j
Zstwa was recognized, Mr. Watson be*
ing perfectly familiar with his to mis.
One of the assistants ii Boston then
said that “Hold the Fort” would b<i 1
sung in Boston, and the tune which
followed was readily recognized. Piof. ,
Bell closed his lecture by briefly sta
ting the practical uses to which he was
confident the telephone colld be ap- j
plied. Hearty applause was afforded
the lecturer as he finished, and people
flocked about the stage in large nu;n
hers to more closely examine the won
derful instrument tht bad placed them
in audible communication with people
nearly twenty miles away.
THE LECTURE AND EXPERIMENT
were an unqualified success. A vote
of thanks was tendered to Miss Molloy,
operator of the Atlantic & Pacific Tel
egraph Company at Salem, for her as*
! sistance during the evening. The tel
| ephoue was then (aken apart and rx
i plained to a tew ladies and gentlemen,
jto their wonder aud satisfaction. This
! special-by telephone to the Globe has
: been transmitted in tbe presence of
about twenty, who have t 1 us been with
| nesses of a feat r ever before attempted
—that is, the sending of a new.-paper
disp itch over the space of eighteen
miles by the human voice—and alj'this
wonder being accomplished ta a time
, nut mu oh iouger than would be con
sumed in a-’ conversation be
tween two people in the sameroom.
THE SCENE AT THE .BOSTON END.
The instrument which transmitted
the wonderful voice-message to the lis
tening ears in this city was placed in a
1 little rOoui in Exeter Place, where were
i assembled Prof. Watson, Benjamin
Butler, the electrician, Prof. E. B.
Wartuan, aud Mr. A. B Fletcher, rep
-1 resentative of the Globe. The experi
ment was certainly a great success The
conversation with the friends eighteen
miles away was carried on iu ordinary
tones of voice. The Globe representa*
tive in Boston very easily recognized
the voice of the transmitter of the dis
patch in Salem, and very distinctly
heard the applause which was given iu
the Essex Institute Hall. It was a
i very noteworthy occasion, certainly ;
and thp complete success attained led
to the discussion of many plans for the
furthei practical utilization of the tele
phone, which sends its first newspaper
dispatch to the Globe readers for their
delectation and wonder this morning

Ayer’s Fills, have been known- for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a workl-wide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs' of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By j
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in i
ail climates, containing neither calomel i
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may j
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh, i
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

A NEW FEATURE
To the 30(H) illu-trutions heretofore in
Webster’s Unabridged, we have added four
pages of
COLORED ILLUSTRATIONS,
engraved express y for the work ut large
expense.
Nearly every State Superintendent of
Public Instruction in the Union, or corres
ponding oilicer, where such an one exists,
has recommended Webster’s Dictionary in
the strongest terms. Among them are those
of Eastern, Northern, Middle, Southern and
Western States—twenty-eight in all.
STATE PURCHASES.
The State of New York has placed 10,000
copies of Webster’s Unabridged in as many
of her Public Schools.
The Suite of Wisconsin, about 5,000 —•
nearly every school.
The State of New Jersey, 1,500 —nearly
every school.
Ihe State of Dchigau'^niado prevision
for all her schools.
The State of Massachusetts has supplied
her schools—nearly all.
The State of lowa lias supplied her
schools.
The State of Connecticut has made pro
vision for her schools.
Over.Booo schools in Indiana were
supplied during the year 1872, and many
more in 1873 and 1874.
In other States many copies have been
purchapj 1 for supplying schools of cities,
counties and towns,
What better investment can be male for
schools ?
More than ten times as many are sold of
Webster's Dictionaries, as of any other se
ries in tliis country.
At least four fifths of all the school books
published in this country own Webster as
their standard, and of the remainder, few
acknowledge any standard.
