As you are an honorary member of onr society we feel proud ot your success. As you are the champion of tho pieople we exult iu their victory over dictatorial combination.

Mr. Nee-e Adams, ol Franklin notes on the situation il - Dear Danner :—In my last, I ex horted our people to be patient .and wait before expressing themselves much about Garfield’s election and to draw as much comfort from it as pos sible. Now that we look at it, after the battle is over, aud the smoke is out of our eyes, we wonder that we ever suppiosed it practicable to elect Gen. Hancock. The great North, East and West with their millions of capital arrayed against the pioor, de spised South ; all the envy, all the malice, that could be imagined brought to bear in a ousing the great er against the lesser, the stronger against the weaker, llow could we have expiected to succeed ? But no matter now; it is all over and let us try to forgive and forget. Let us ailapil ourselves to the situation. It is amusing to hear some demo crats who hut recently eulogized Han cock in the strongest terms, saying “ well, it don’t make much difference any how; they were lioth Yankee generals and helped to whip us.” “ There is not ranch about Hancock any way.’’ “We believe, on the whole, Garfield is as good a man and such expressions. They remind us of the old darkey who caught a rabbit, and fondling him in his two hands, said : “He’s good for fry, he’s good for hake, lie’s good for every thing.” Just then brer rabbit skipped out of his hands, aud the darkey look ed at him as he escaped, and said : “ You ain’t good for nothing, you old dry meat you, go long wid yer.” The country will prosper under any man who may be President. It cannot A Call. We hear that Rev. R. F. Jackson, Jr., rector of Oristn, Church, Macon, has received a call to Emanuel church in Athens. It is hoped that he will accept. If wc arc not mistaken as to Mr. Jackson’s acceptability and pop ularity in Macon, Emanuel church would be very ioriunale to obtain him. ChriMmas Goods. Those of our merchants who deal in Christmas goods will find it greatly to their advantage to advertise them in the Weekly aud Daily Banner es pecially the latter. This is the way to ipach the city patronage; and any advertisement* offered w ill be publish ed at low rates. Give us a trial. Not tar Wrong. Thejopening chorus of “ Esther’’ begins: “ Human, Hainan ; long live Haman !” The hoys cn the streets have it: “ Haman, Haman ; long- legged Haman Looking over the cast of characters, the boys do not seem to have made such an egregious mistake after all. If you want knowledge, you must toil for it; if food, must toil lor it; if pleasure, must toil for it. But if you want a Watch, go to Skiffs ; a Silver castor, go to Skiffs ; a good pair of Spectacles, go to Skiffs; or anything in the way of Jewelry, go to Skiffs. Merchants, look to your interest. Many staple articles in crockery, glassware, lamps &c.. have greatly declined. McBride & Co., have by all udds the best and cheapest stock ever brought lo the State. Tbeir stock is crammed with novel fast sel ling staple goods of their own direct importation. Hold your orders, come and select in person. McBride & Co, guarantee to save all ft eight and breakage and delay, and to not put a ample piece of unsalable stock on you. oct!9 w WatklBsvIUe High School. We leatD that lYgLIrby Q.

DitsdM Accident. Mr. William Butler,' of Elbert county, met wich a dreadful accident yesterday. While in Talmadge, Hodge son & Co’s, he walked into the eleva- toi opening in the third story, and fell to the floor of the second. He wa« so badly injured that bis life is consid ered in danger.. He was taken lo the residence of Mr. J. C. Hill, and re ceived the best medical attention. Almost on Accident.

Fines don’t seem to have increased very materially the caution ot these gentry. A Liberal Act. Mr. W. A. Hemphill, of the Atlan ta Constitution, has w ritten to Athens, authorizing a draft to be made on him for $100, to be applied to building the chapel of Lucy Cobb Institute. Mr. Hemphill is a former resident of Athens. He was in Gen. T. R. R. Cobb’s command, and received a se vere wound in the battle in which Gen. Cobh was killed. Out of respect to the memory of his noble command er, he makes this donation to an insti tution whiuh owes its existence to Gen. Cobb, and which is named for his daughter. Mr. Hemphill is a gen tleman of the highest order, and it gives ns great pleasure lo note such liberality as his. Love's Young Dream. Our neighboring town of Watkins- ville was the scene of quite a roman* tic marriage Thursday. The marriage came off in the common-place way, but the very fact of the marriage was romantic. The parties were Mr. J- J. Woodis and Miss Emma Gordon, and the officiating clergyman Rev. W. J. Cotter. Mr. Woodis was eighteen years old last May, and the bride was sweet fourteen. They have been engaged some mouths, and for a long time the parents refused con sent, by reason of the youth of the parties; but-finally all the objections gave way before that love which scorns bolts and liars and parental objections, aud day before yesterday the happy affair was consummated. The thinner begs leave to eitend its heartfelt wishes that the connubial relation so early begun may be most Uppy through a long life. ‘•Oh,there's nothing half aosweetln lift, ...., A*lovo’nyoung dream.” Athens road near the paper mill res cently, two to one, and yet the one got tfae better of it. Mr. G. P. Elder who lives near the paper mill, will remove to the former borne of Mr. H. E. Jackson near the High Shoals. It Is a conceded fact that Henry is now too old to marry. It is rumored in these parts that an elopement is imminent. The young man has a sister who is crying, a mother who is praying, and a daddy who is cursing about it, and yet it is presumable that the young lady will be happy when the “ knot is tied,” as the young tnan is quite industrious and knows how to work. Capt. Oscar Johnson, of Catoosa county, is going to remove to this community to engage in farming. We extend him a cordial welcome.

' “Oh, no—he’s a trick dog,” answered the owner. “ Is; eh? What tricks can he do?” “Oh, a dozen or two. He has one very peculiar trick, though. Would you like to see him do it?” ' ■ ij ■ . “ l-would that. What is ft?” The man directed the butcher to puts pound of nice beefsteak on a sheet of clean brown paper and place the whole on the doorstep.

A few days since a gentleman -in this city received a quarter oi a dollar through the mad from a' correspond ent which had a hole 'in it,’ by means of which was attached a shipping tag with a one cent stamp and the name of the party thereon. Now who dares siy that ihia net did not evidence confidence in the postal department, and the safe arrival and delivery of the quarter fully establish the strict honesty of the department officials?

The Scientific American says Among the cuiious and interesting industrial facts brought to light dur ing the census inquiries not the least h the fact that the recently introduced art of diamond cutting has been so admirably developed here that dia mond cuts in Amsterdam are now sent to this city lor recutting- Hith erto Amsterdam has monopolized the work of diamond cutting; and the aiin there has been lo remove in cut ting tbe least possible weight of-llie gem. The American plan is to cut mathematically, according to recog nized laws of light, eo aa to secure tbe utmost brilliancy lor the finished stone. The greater loss in weight, as com pared with the Am-aerdam cutting, i< thus more than made pood by the superior brilliancy of the product: From the inquiries made by Chief 8|ieda! Cencus Agent Charles E. Hill it appears that the average increase of value given to diamonds by tbe New York cutting it $5,000 for each per, son employed lor twelve months; al so that our dealers are receiving the best Amsterdam cut gems from abroad to be recut here and returned.
