bearing o per cent. interest, with twenty

and very neat. Interest on the bonds
commences July lst, 1865, and is payable

Of investment can be found, and the Sc

ing OF the whole $4,000, voted by the
town in aid of the Woodstock Railroad,
in our own vicinity. Indeed, the demand
for them is already large. They can be
had at the Woodstock National Bank.

How TO PREVENT WET FEET.
A writer in the Mechanics
Magazine, who says he has three
pairs of boots last him six years,
and thinks he will not require any
more for six years to come, tells
how he treats them: I put a
pound each of tallow and resin in a
pot on the fire; when melted and
mixed apply it hot on the boot
with a painters brush until neither
the sole nor the upper will soak
anv more. If it is desired that
the boots should Immediately take
polish, Dissolve on ounce Of wax
in a teaspoonful of turpentine and
lampblack. A day or two after
the boots have been treated with
the resin and tallow, rub over them
this wax and turpentine, but not
before the fire. Thus the exterior
will have a coat Of wax alone, and
shine like mirror:
TaIlow and grease become ran
cid and rot the stitching or leather;
but the resin gives it an autisep1ic
quality that preserves the whole" "

DEPARTURE OF THE GoLCoNDA.-
This superior ship, owned by, the
American Colonization Society,
went to- sea yesterday afternoon,
with 451 emigrants for Liberia.
Of these, 12 were from this city, 5
from Augusta, Fl from Sparta, 81
from Marion, Twiggs county, and
2o4 from Columbus, Geo. IL from
Mobile, and 80 from Enfaula, Ala;
AZ from Columbus, Miss; IS from
Ridge, South Carolina; and 8 9from
Nashville, Tennessee. They have
chosen as their places ofsettlement
in the African Republic-Monrovia
es; Cape Palmas. 80, and Bassa,
1922. ..-.....
Most ofthe men are farmers and
mechanics, and are well supplied
with agricultural implements and
tools. Turning lathes and the
requisite machinery for grist and
saw mills, for which ample water
water power abounds in Liberia,
were taken by some Of the we'll to
do of them. Sewing machines
were not forgotten by the women.
Our stores were patronized by the
people for many Of these articles;
others were brought by them:
Free transportation in the ship
was given them by the Society,
and such articles tending to pro-
mote the success Of the emigrants
and the Republic to which they
go.
A fair proportion oftbe company
can read, and some can read and
write. The commun nicants of
churches are remarkably. numer-
Gus. There are five licensed minis
ters of the Baptist and Methodist
denominations.
The reception and embarkations
of the people was conducted by
Mr.. VIM. Coppinger, Correspond
ing Secretary Of the American
Colonization Society, to whom we
are indebted for much Of the above
information.
Emigration to Liberals greatly
on the increase among the people
of color. Had the Society the
means, thousands instead of hun
dreds would be glad to remove to
the prosperous home OF, their race
on their:own ancestral continent.
