It is a queer centennial fact that the
largest number of babies bom this year
are boys.
There are only tnieo months more
of leap year and the girls should embrace
the opportunity and the men along with
it.
Some men seem to think that an able
bodied horn of a cold morning will im
part as much warmth to the system as
three overcoats.
Mr Ellis is the spryest candidate
on the list now It might have been
named Sammy Tilden, but it’s a girl and
weighed twelve pounds.
See announcement of Dr. Reeves. —
He is well qualified and if elected, will
wi'l make a good County Treasurer. He
will be remembered at the polls.

“ That PheHow.”
Editor limes: In the Cartersvillo
Express of the 28th instant appeared
an article of fulsome brnggardism over
the nom ih plume “ Gordon County.”
Whoop ee ! “ Etowah Bill !” Big injun
me ! I! Ike ! “ Gordon county ?”
Examine your exchanges, Mr. Editor,
and it possible inform us who that
phellow ’ is. Or, do you think by res
ferencc to a map we could find out his
locality, and then by locate him? Was
he at the front formerly with the gal*
lant 500 or 600 ? Now we think those
500 or 600 votes changed from Dabney
to Felton since 1874 are the products
of a fanciful, if not distempered imag*.
ination. We don’t believe he has ever
found any one, friend or foe, igi.ora it
enough to concede any such thing as 1 e
wrote. Will he please rise and ex
plain ? Let u* know, Mr. “Gordon Coun
ty,” who, besides yourself, has not trav*
eled around sufficiently not to know
that Fairmount is not all of GorJcn
county, though it may be the home of
this representative political wiseacre and
custodian of “unadulterated” Democ
racy. Has this “ phellow a record ?
We desire to inform him he has; a re°
cord too. that amply justifies his fealty
ton. “Birds of a feather flock togeth
er.” you know. We will not sift that
record now, hut may hold him up for
pub'ic amusement tome time. Dabney
will yet a larger majority than in 1874,
MARK IT, “Gordon County.” Didn’t
you say 1 elton w >ul J get a majority be~
f - jre ? A Democratic Voter.
Nfxt Wednesday occurs the elec*,
lion for Gi vernor and nu mbers of the
General Assembly. The candidates
for Representative of Gordon county
are W. S. Walker and M. J. Dudley.
Mr. Camp having retired. These are
good men, and the election of either,
will ensure us a representative whose
interests”;!' and feelings are fully identi
fied with and will always be f>und
striving in behalf of their const t lency
—u en who have been brought out by
the solieitati uis of good citizens of the
county. We are glad that the voters of
the county have men so desiring to
ci ooso fn m.

Never before lias so much practical
information of this nature been publish

While there are many treatise pur
porting to give valuable statistics of
America in convenient form, it will be
found upon examination that they
contain a voluminous amount of mat**
ter which is of no utility to any citi
zen.
A comparison of the various produc

son that the “Century of Independence”
embraces the important documents to be
ound in them all while it omits.that
which is superfluous and adds instead a
vast collecti n of in valuable facts. No

arrangement is what makes it inval

have been prepared especially wi'h ref

It is designated for this work to take
the place in politics that Webster’s Dic

Gazetteer in general literature. The
binding, paper an} illustrations have
been made to compare with the genera!

THE NEW YABiILY
SINGER
Sewing Machine.
WITH ATTACIDI KM’S
For All Kinds of Work.
is fast winning favor in the household, a 9
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble ot a range and variety of work such a
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapest-, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sow
ing, but also for t lie variety and different
kinds of texture whien it will sew with
equl facility and perfection, using siik
twist, linen, or cotton thread, ftrreor coarse,
making the inter elastic loch stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sew a. Tints
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uuiferroity of stitch
aml.lna moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
raotuckingi of tarlatan, or rutHing, or al
most any other work which delicMc fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular and
practical machines for martafi eturing pur
poses, some dealers, using “the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our family Ala
cuine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But. purchasers-—and they arc
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
) inced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise actron at any speed ; ca
pacity forr in ge and variety of work,’fine
or coarse -leaving all rivals behind it.
Sewiar Machine Sales 0f 1874.
The table of sewing machine sales for
1874 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,697 machines, being a
large increase over the sales of the previ
ous year. The table shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148,862
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any Com
pany.
