Mack Law, coloied, an experienced
barber, lias opened a shop in the rear
room of 11. M Jackson's store, where
lie is prepared to do hair-cutting, shav
ing, etc., in good style. We trust oar
people will bestow on Mack a good pat
ronage, as he is polite and deserving.
Now is the time to fix up the
blood and harks and “ yarbs," of
different sorts in ‘‘spents," are now seen

well
Times are hard, we know, hut when
we have less loafing, less grumbling, and
more honest work, we may expect an
improvement. There are about three
quarters of the human family that
don’t ea r n their owii food and clothes,
which makes it tougher foi the other
quarter.
Calhoun is literally surrounded by
sli'w mills, and lumber is cheaper than
known since (he war. If the people
had tnohev there would he no tell'ng
the amount of improvements we might
expectin the next few months. r lhc
mills seem to be doing a fine business,
a great deal of lumber being shipped
away.
The Marshal’s street force are at
work getting our sidewalks and streets
in presentable shape. r l he tax is five
dollars this .year, which ought to go a
lonir wa}*s in making improvements,
though an effort is being made to have
the tax reduced to three dollars oil nti
count of the stringency in money mat
ters. A petition with a large number
of names was in circulation last week.

letter l'i’oiii Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., April 10, 1876.
Dear 1 trues itli a tope of be
ing pardoned lor my silence, and a de*
sire to preserve fraternal feeling
your tnanv intelligent readers, for au
old contributor, I sen i you these few
jottiuga. Everything ..here
ly dull—duller in 'act than at any time
within the last and cade. The financial
stringency prevalent in money matters
seems to be attributed to a luck of con*
fidence among business men.
Atlanta has been the scene of quite a
number of heavy failure the past win
ter. Several very large houses have
suspended which of course has serious
ly injured the credit of our merchants
abroad, but still standing out where
they have withstood the storms of many
financial winters will soon convince
those at a distance that they are still
worthy of their confidence and indul
gence. For thorough “go ahead," our
merchants have no superiors. While we
regard times “ dull," visitors say we
have the liveliest city in all the South.
The Notthwe.tern excursionists who
were recently au ong us expressed them
selves as highly pleased with our city
and people, and said they would go home
as witnesses against those their North
ern brethren who have so long repre
sented us as a semi civilized race of be
ings who have always treated their peo
ple as enemies and the negroes as beasts
of burden. They went home thoroughly
convinced that we had buried the tom
ahawk and were ready to smoke the pipe
of 4 peace—though the latter doe
taste a little bitter.
Who will be our next Governor ? is
the oft repeated query on the street
corners, in the club-room, among the
loafers, and professional politicians, and
everywhere else just at this time.—
Among the many names suggested that
of John 11. James seems to he the
strongest. The majority of our people
seem to think we a good financier,
thoroughly competent to clear up all the
encuml ranges that *t present surround
our State Treasury. A man who is a
friend to the laborer who from morning
to night follows the pi ugh, or the hod
carrier, rs well as the business man or
millionaire. Like the radio and conduc
tor who wore his fine diamond, Mr.
Janies has enough and consequently he
would he content with the honor of be
ing Governor of proud old Georgia.—
That such ati aspiration may be reach
ed by this worthy gentleman before an
other winter has come and gone is the
true wish of your humble correspon
dent.
As your roaders are doubtless aware,
two newspapers have perished here since
mv last, letter—the Herald and Courier.
The Times is now hiunced.“ Hard Times”
would he a more appro] riate
name for the next theee or four months
at least The ole reliable (Constitu
tion) still hangs out her dag to the
breeze, supported in style by her many
admirers. Henry Grady, late of the
Herald is corresponding from this place
for an Augusta paper. Col Marcellus
E. Birdeater—ne • Thornton is one of
the sensations of our city at ] resent
having recently eaten thirty patridges
in as many consecutive days. Since
the feat or in consequence thereof' he
has improved wonderfully in flesh and
features. A good square meal on birds
or any other meat once a day for a month
is calculated to “ fatten up ” any news
paper man. Occasionally we receive a
call from an old Calhoun frieud. Col.
McConnell was here last week,but spent
most of his time near Jame’s bank. I
thought he was canvassing for a pea-nut
stand near the corner or trying to get
on the Jame’s ticket for Lieutenaut-
Governor. But he candidly assured me
that he was only watching with water
ing eyes the cashier as he counted out
the greens," and imagining how nice
it was to lea hunker, and also looking
at the huge pile of '* Confed ” in the
window which carried him back to those
days in Virginia that tried men’s souls.
Le is a good fellow and will always find
the latch string of my quarters on the
outside aud a hearty welcome within.—
Culs. Fain and Rankin also favored me
with a call last week. The former was
trying to find out what the b-'ys meant
by “ pull down your vest." Bro. Runs
kin was up at Rev. Mr. Fitch’s lay°
irg in a supply of tracts and son" books
for the summer campaign. Joe carried
home some red hack dime novels for his
two boys. Begging you to excuse such
a leughty cnropchmeut on your columns
I am as eve,r Medicus.
Talk l T l> VOltr Town.
Yes, talk it up and work it up. If
it lias good schools, good churches
newspapers, and clean streets, talk it
rip. Don’t grumble if anything and
everything is not up to your ideas es
pecially if you do nothing to help make
the place. Don’t tell stiangersit is the
worst place you know of to bring up a
child, unless you know, than any other
town of tne same size. Give encour
agement to every useful.and creditable
enterprise in our midst, fur as sure as
effect follows cause, so sure will enter
prise or merit repay every citizen. We
cannot live unto ourselves, and we can
not discourage any movement in behalf
of a place without reflecting upon our/
selves a personal injury. If you see c
needed improvement, demand it, take
it up vigorously until the whole com
munity is impregnated with the idea—
until a storm of public sentiment corn*
pletes the work ; hut if you can’t have
everything that is needed, remember
in that respect it is just like thousands
of clhei places in the land. Keep talk,
ing and encouurging, but do not grum
ble. Don’t stop because some poor
mummy, out of whom has withered all
public spirit and love of all advance*
raent moans out his sepulchral whine,
•' it won’t pay." Show to your live
fellows that it trill pay, and leave to
the mummy his embalmed dust and sta*
pidity, and by and by you will eee the
result of your courago and talk in uni
versal iuiprovoment, increased faculties
for husiuess, cultivated sooiety, and a
broad, liberal generous spirit that per
vades and vivifies, making pleasant and
beautiful every place which it enteis.
Washington, April 6.—The House
to-day promptly passed the Senate bill
reducing the pay of the President after
the 4th of March next to 825/100. —
Probably no official act of Grant will
give him so much anxiety a£ the dispo..
sal of this bill. He promptly appruved
the bill increasing his pay to 860,000,
and now he is called upon to approve an
act which will make the pay of his suc
cessor the same as that of his predecea
ors. Should he approve it, it would De
a confession that he has taken 825,000
annually more than he needed, and if
he vetoes it courtesy require that
he state his reasons, and he could not
make it appear that his expenses hate
been anywhere near the large sum an
nually paid him.
“ When thou art old and rich,
Thou hast neither heart, affection, limb Or
beauty
To make thy riches pleasant.”
It is surprisinghow few books have been
written on the diseeases incident to old
age. We know of no work that w -uld
be more generally read by the medico.le
gal world or In fact by all classes, than
a ‘‘Treatise on the medical mananement
of old age." written in a plain style and
free from all technicalities, nor do we
know of any medicine that is more hap
pily adapted to the alleviating of the
pains and aches of the aged than Dr,.

Something New Under the Sun.
—A new era is dawning upon the life
of woman. Hitherto she has been call
ed unou to suffer the ills of mankind
and her own besides. The frequent and
distressing irregularities peculiar to her
sex have long been to her the ‘ direful
spr ng of woes unnumbered." In the
mansion of the rich and in the hovel of
poverty alike woman has been the con
stant yet patient victim of a thou and ills
unknown to man —and these without a
remedy. “Oh Lord, how long!" in
the agony of her soul, hath she ciied.—
But now the hour of her redemption is
come. She will suffer no more, for Dr.
J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator— Wo.
man’s Best Friend—is for sale by all
respectable Druggists throughout the
End at 81.50 per Bottle. In another
column of this newspaper will be founa
some interesting particulars concerning
the Female Regulator and o f her infor
mation highly mportunt to women.
Near Marietta Ga., March 21, 1870.
Messrs Wm. Root & Sons : —About
one year ago I bought a bottle of Brad
field’s Female Regulator from you
for one of my daughters who had been
suffering with suppressed menses for
some time. 1 have had several physi
cians attending, but met with no success
until I was persuaded to buy a bottle of
the Regulator, and it is the very thing
fir which it is recommended. She is
now in perfect health. 1 hope all suf
fering females will at least try one boU
tie and have health again.
