A NUMBER of persons who didn’t
“swear off” New Year’s, smacked their
lips over a bowl of egg-nog last Satur
day made from peach brandy forty-six
yeais old. It was a present well appre

For some time back there has been
quite a demand for blanks among Jus

We are now able to notify all that we
can supply them with almost any kind,

The annua! message of Governor
Bmith was read before the General As*
seuibly last Thursday. It is lengthy
and contains many wise thoughts. We
wish wo had room in our columns for
the whole document, but the press of
other matter excludes it.
The Baptists at this place, we are
told, have secured the Rev. Mr. Wilkes,
of Dalton, to preach for them the
present year. llis qualifications are
such as will render him acceptable to
the community, and the interest of the
church will not languish under his
charge. lie will preach the second
Sabbath in each month. *
The crop of juvenile mustaches ex.

tenderest sprouts aud render replanting

I he only excuse we had for not noticing
the fact was that we had heard nothing

Representative?: “Among the younger
members of the House is W. R- Rub - ,p >
of G< rdon county. Ho is a lawyer,
having a tolerable fine? practice con id

one of the best papers in that section ot
the State. A native of South Carolina,
he came to Georgia eight years ago,
having hardly means enough to pay his
hotel bill Since then, by dint of per
severance an! integrity, he has w n for
himself not only his present honored
position, but the fame of a good name,
an exsellent reputation and a popularity
rarely achieved by on i of his years. He

North Georgia.”
Reminiscences of tile Holidays.
Dalton, Ga., Jan 19, 1875.
Dear Times: Having passed the
Christmas holidays iu your pleasant lit*
tie town we cannot resist the tempta
tion to say a few words concerning
our visit. The weather was very
unpropitious, during our stay “old
Sol ” scarcely permitting the wintry
earth to catch a glance of his glowing
face, but notwithstanding the rain and
clouds and general gloom the holidays
of 1874 will ever remain a “ green
spot ”in our memory. In recounting
the pleasant things of the past our
thoughts will always turn with please
able emotions to the happy hours spent
at Boa* Hi.,, truly they were among
the happiest arid brightest of .our unos*
tentatious life. tVe attended Sevefai
pleasant social gatherings v here enjoy
ment seemed to hold high revelry. Al
so attended the New Year’s Tree given
by the Union Sabbath School, it was
said to have been a success, we thought
so at any rate. Being a stranger in a
strange town we were not expecting
anything fro re off the heavily laden
Tree, but were cry agreeably disap
pointed on h aring our name called
among the recipients
We have often read “ Joab’s ” senti
ments concerning Calhoun and her peo
ple, we believe in the old proverb that
seeing is believing, and will now join
onr voice with his and exclaim, “Lon"
live the people of Calhoun.”
THE HOLIDAYS IN DALTON
The holidays in this city passed off
quietly with Christmas Trees, sociables,
entertainments, etc., and everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves immensely.
On December 24th, the Presbyterians
had a Christmas Tree laden with some
thing beautiful for every member of
the Sunday School. Each scholar re
ceived a packagb of candy, raisins, etc.,
and the young gentlemen of town re
ceived a stick of candy and a pipe
ready for smoking addressed to the care
ot his most particular lady love.
The Catholics participated in a
Christmas drawing; the two highest
prizes being a silver pitcher and cas
tor. The castor was worth $25 and
the pitcher SSO.
The Episcopals and Northern Meth
odist also indulged in Christmas Trees,
The Southern Methodists had a pound
party for their Sunday School.
The members of the Baptist Church
gave an entertainment at the Male t’ol
lege Chapel They had a ship just
anchored in port, laden with rare treas
ures collected in foreign countries, it aL
so contained passehg£rs, the Lapland
ers German’s and French were the
most prominent characters. The price
of tickets was 25 cents, each ticket
holder drew something from off the
ship. A sumptuous banquet was also
spread; price of tickets for this part of
the entertainment was 50 cents each.
Several weddings were on the tapis
during the holidays. Among them
were Rev. J. A. R. Hanks, whet led to
the altar of Hymen the beautiful and
accomplished Mrs. Tomlinson. They
are now spending the honeymoon in
lower Georgia, inhaling the? rich per
fume of tropical flowers and blissfully
enjoying “ Love’s young dream ”
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bivings celebra
ted the fifth aniversary of their marri*
age with a wooden wedding. We have
heard of another couple that intend
celebrating their crystal wedding*
which occurs fifteen years after marri
age.
THE THEATRE.
Although Christmas is over and the
new year is feigning the parties still
continue. The Berger family, Swiss
Bell Ringers will peal their silver
chimes on Wednesday 25th, in Trevitt
Hall. We all know the reputation of
this excellent company.
Helen De Este and her company of
twenty ladies and gentlemen (all stars
in their profession) will appear on the
boards some time next week.
Our theatre goers will no doubt ap
preciate the talents of these excellent
companies, and give them a full house

Reliable Testimony.
It cftnftot be reasonably supposed that
when a person testifies to the efficacy of a
remedy whose benefits he has experienced,
without solicitation, that he does s for the
purpose of misleading tne public, or from
any other motive than that rf grati'ude.
It is still more unreasonable to suppose that
eminent physicians would corroborate the
evidence thus given unless they were per
suaded of its truth. The Proprietor* of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are constantly
in the receipt of voluntary testimonials ae
knowledging the curative and preventive"
potency of this beneficent tonic aud correct
ive, emanating not oniy from those tvh6
have felt its influence, but alsb ff'6'rii
known members of the trtedical profession,
b ifh hefe and abroad, who have witnessed
its effects, and pr scribed it in their private
practice. In the face of such evidence as
this, to which the widest publicity has re
peatedly been given, it would be absurd to
question the medicinal virtues of the Bitters.
Skepticism upon this point was long ago dis.
armed, and they are to day as much re
spect and and far more widely known than
many of the official remedies which figure
conspicuously in the pharmacopoeia. They
are uuiversally recognized to be the supreme
remedy for intermittent and remittent fe
vers, dyspepsia, I ter complaint, general
debility, disorders of the bowels and ner
vousness, as well as a means ef fortifying
the system against malarious influences and
those which operate injuriously upon the
sensitive organs. Wheth r used as a remedy
for actual disease, as a means of building
up the broken down ph stque, or of hasten
ing convalesence, they are never resorted to
in vain, and they often restore complete
health when pre cribed remedies cannot
even initate its recovery.
