For the Chronicle.
MT. Pleasant Amateur Concert.

II was our good fortune To be present and
take part in the second Amateur Concert
given by the young Ladies' and Gentlemen
OF the Society, at Mt. Pleasant Church, on
Friday evening, September 9th, 1870, and
the many smiling faces that witnessed the
performance can bear testimony of the fact
that, as an amateur entertainment, IL was
n success, and conducted in u manner
pleasant and agreeable to all.
The object In view was the recovering
and otherwise repairing the church. The
shingles have been secured, and the con-
tract made for accomplishing our aim.
i would return, in behalf of the Society,
our many thanks to the young Ladies OF
canton, Ky, visiting our neighborhood,
who so kindly rendered their services by
taking parts in Charades and Tableaux ,.but
regret, for want of time, they were SC hur-
ried up with their pieces. The character
Of the Distressed Widow, represented by
reality could not have added to IL, or even
excelled the acting. The parts of Lena Le-
Veal and Faro, represented by Miss Jude
II. and Miss Mollie T., was acted In the
same becoming, self-possessed style.
Young Ladies, rest assured you havemer-
tied aplace in our hearts that time can
never tarnish or erase. To the Messrs
Thomas Brothers and Prof; Britton, we
music and unsurpassed comic acting. We
are fully convinced that these young men
are as good judges of sweet music and pol
fresh drugs, aaerues" and good cooking
stoves. BE assured, young men, that your
kindness will ever be remembered and APP
preciated. We acknowledge our obliga-
tons to the ProprietorS OF the Chronicle
and Tobacco Leaf for their many favors
shown the Society. To the citizens we
would return our many thanks for all
favors and their liberal patronage.
Hoping that, by our works and aim we
have offended none, and that the accom-
plishing of our purposes may make the
hearts of all who are friends of the silent
dead and Christianity rejoice.
DIR. Tuck.

RECEIPTS DO NOT REQUIRE STAMPS.
A law of the recent session of Con-
gress, but not generally promulgated,
as yet, Is well deserving of the atten-
ton of business men. The new tax
tariff bill as it passed Congress, abol-
ishes the stamp duty on receipts for
money of any amount whatever, as
well as promissory notes given for
sums less than one hundred dollars.
The bank check, draft, and docu-
mentary stamps remain in use as
heretofore. This law took effect
from and after its passage, since
which time large sums of money
have, no doubt, been wasted, from the
fact that the law is not generally un-
derst OOd. Nash. Bonner.

condition than my body, ms I was contih-
ually oppressed with lassitl ide and depres-
sion of spirits. tried all the patent med
icines and prescriptions that heard Of,
and some OF these afforded temporary re-
lief, but In q short time / relapsed into my
former condition.
While suffering in this manner, heard
OF c. 4. Cations Dyspepsia Remedy, and
concluded TO try II. / had taken it but u
short time when began to feel relief, and
continuing to take IL, ! soon could par.
take of my meals without any disagreeable
feeling, either while at the table or after

ALL RIoHT.-Our enterprising pro-
prietors of the GAINESVILLE Planning
Mil, Messrs. G. II. Wilson a Co.,
are extending their business through
out the border counties to the salts
faction Of their customers and them
selves. They are, we understand,
constantly filling orders for entire
buildings. One order, recently, en-
braced the entire contract for putting
up the building, plastering, painting,
papering, etc., and the keys to be de-
livered to the owner i'm very short
time. This Is business. They are en-
abled to complete dwellings, or other
houses, with the utmost dispatch, in
real workmanlike style, and at the
very lowest figure. No necessity ex-
lists now for sending off for lumber or
workmen-as we have the workmen
in our midst, who supply everything
needed, and thereby keep the money
thus expended in circulation at home.
Let this firm and all other home en-
terprises be patronized and fostered,
and If this be done, the time Is not
far distant when the cry of dull times
and nothing to do, will give place to
thriving industry. Reflect upon this
matter, We men of means, who con.
template doing anything towards
building up our city, and give your
home artisans fair chance and q fair
trial, and let us see what glorious re-
suits will follow.
The idea of a merchant or other
business man expecting to sell their
goods and wares to the people at
home, and then send off and get their
carpentering, printing or anything
else done, is gross injustice to their
patrons and suicidal to the best inter-
ests and ultimate destiny of our little
city.
