The perfectly pure aud well governed State
OF Georgia is in trouble about its Treasurer.
| Although he is q Democrat, and presumably
a native Of the Stale and perfectly white, he
has carried the business as if he were slltte
better than one of the wicked" He has paid
bonds and forgotten it; he has reported inn
aginary sums to his credit to make hisaccount
good; has pledged the State credit without au-
thority of law; he has not destroyed bonds and
coupons when paid, he has paid some twice
over. These are the charges made against him
by legislative committee. Ii he had been
a ''carpet-bagger,o we should have chorus
on the subject from the Democratic papers.
AS it is, the right of having its Treasury mis-
managed without outside criticism appears to
them one of the prerogatives of State sover-
eighty, and they are not inclined to disturb it.

LOOKING UP.-The Indication seems to point
to revival of industry in many portions of the
State. The immense mineral deposits in Viz
ginia and The superb and abundant water pow
erin various localities, have attracted atten-
ton, and resinviting Investments. Within brief
period, there have been sold in Nelson county.
Va, 1928, 900 worth of mineral lands. These
properties are located on James River. nea,
Greenway. There are large deposits of miner
ais, including the richest veins Of manganese,
for which negotiations are pending, and
doubtless the sales mentioned above will in
duce other capitalists to turn their attention in
the direction Of the Old Dominion.
We have recently received letters from the
western and eastern states from parties who
make INJURY as to the price of lands, with a
view OF coming to this State 10 live.
Il the legislation OF Virginia had been of
such character that we could have referred to
it as source OF encouragement our responses
to these communications could have been more
1lattering. But we could not refer to this for
every session of the Legislature has worked to
the disadvantage Of the commonwealth.

miles from Sclibner, and their prop.

Campaign Subscribers.

We have large number of campaign
subscribers on our list, whose term
as campaign readers will close with
this issue of The WIG. During this
short season of acquaintance we have
endeavored to make The WING both
pleasant and profitable, and hope we
have been so far successful as to cause
our numerous readers to feel real loss
in the absence of the weekly Saturday
visits of the paper.
As an inducement for any, and we
trust all, to continue their subscriptions,
we offer THE WIG from the first week
in November to the end of the year
1876 to /" each and every" of our cam-
paign subscribers, for $500 in advance,
which will be giving them the paper IA
months for the subscription price of one
year.
After the this issue the paper will
be more devoted to literary matters,
general and local news, and our Farm
Department will always be filled with
articles full of interesting and useful
information to the farmer, whose bust
ness is the great and overshadowing
interest of Cecil county. Subscribers
who propose availing themselves of this
offer should send in their names, accom-
panied by the subscription price for the
next IA months, $500, by the middle
of the first week in November, in order
to insure continuance of their paper
without interruption. Our issue of the
9th of November will contain the Off
cial returns of the county and the I'M
official returns from most of the States
in the Union which hold elections on
that day.

SCHOOL EXERCISES.

The pupils of the Elkton Public School
INDUCED in some general exercises on the
afternoon of Friday, 22nd inst. By two
clock the pleasant, and tastefully adorned
upper room of the new school building was
filled by the accustomed pupils, pupils from
other schools and patrons and friends OF
the school.
A few minutes after the exercises were
commenced by the singing of ASK for the
Old Path, by the school. Below we give
the programme as it was carried out, those
pieces which were omitted for want of
time not being given:

Ala, Jennie Phnbus; The Graves of the

Jones, Esq; Almost Persuaded, by the
school.
Mr.. Jones, in his address, expressed him
self as being much pleased with the efforts
of the pupils, and paid them the high
compliment of saying that he had heard
some of their selections read by profess
sional readers in a manner inferior to
theirs. There were very few things in
which he could suggest improvement, but
he had thought how much their exercises
would have been improved had the pupils
had the use Of an organ, and advised them
to solicit subscriptions to procure one, and
offered to give as much as any other citizen
of the town. He expressed great interest
in their progress and welfare, and reminded
them of the anxiety he and others felt that
they should secure competent education,
and thus be enabled to discharge intelli-
gently and conscentiously the duties of
citizenship which would soon devolve upon
them. He urged them to devote them
selves faithfully to the study of history, as
it is by the light of past experience that
we must walk in the present and future
And vet there is an education higher
more important, and enduring than all this.
1t is illustrated by the text, "the fear of
the Lord that is the beginning of wisdom, :"
and many others of similar import. Mr.
J. concluded his address with an earnest
appeal to the boys to abandon forever the
use of profane language, which he said he
heard upon their grounds.
