Thursday Horning August 12tb,
Trip to Nortli-westeru Georgia-
Musical ConveatioiK at Sugar
Talley Church, Gordon County,
Georgia*
About’ the ■dark hour of 12 o’clock,
aV U'glit of Thursday last* we arrived
at the village Resaca on W. dt A. R.
R„, and were kindly received by our
triend Barnett, at the hotel. After
quietly reposing for five hours, arid a
good breakfast, we were furnished a
conveyance the distauce of six miles
to Sugar Valley church. Fiotn Resaca
to Sugar Valley- are some very fine
lands to be seen, yet the crops are not
w> fine as the land would have produc
ed had there been any rain in the last
six or eight weeks. The drought has
been very severe in all North-west Ga.,
as far as we could hear. Lands are
txofe changing hands very rapidly in
upper Georgia, but where a price is
placed po any, from Resaca around,
via Sugar Valiev to Calhoon, the county
Site of Gordon county, it is rated from
S2O per acre upwards.
Notwithstanding the incessant dry
Weather. the last six or eight weeks, in
the Valley, the citizens did not show
*my signs of diseoui agemeat. There
was a fair crop of wheat mad"® :n the
country, and plenty of old com on
hand, and fat beeves and shoats were
on hand ample to supply the demand.
We shall never forget the very
pleasnt time we spent with our oil
friend M. Boaz and Lis son-in-law Mr
Ne’sou, who entertained a large crowd
<eaeh night wo spent in the Va ley.
The N. W. Gra., M. 0 elected D.
3. McFarland, President, 11. K. Mdn,
Vice President, M. H. Sanders, Secre
tary, and Thomas £. Whittlo Assist
ant Secretary.
Ti e Convention was conducted in
the best of order. Our young friend
McFarland manages well aa a Pre
siding officer, and in company with
Bro, J. W, Ramsey, deserve great
credit for the vast amount of good they
are doing as Music Teachers. They
had many schools represented in the
Convention, and among tfcerr repre
sentation were middle aged men who
are active, useful members of the
•church, who are lending a helping
hand towards promoting church music
by patronizing their teachers liberally.
AYe do not remember to have seen
more persons at once engaged in ting
ing in a concert than were here engag
ed ; over half in the house participated,
and the house wonld hold about five
hundred persons, and they had been
pretty well drilled by their teachers.
We made the very pleasant acquaint
ance of P. T. Carrel!, of Summ.er ville,
Cbattoga couuty, who taught music
many years ago, and well understands
the tusiness, and enters fully into the
enjoyment of what he sings, and sings
in a pr*>p©r mauues. We hope we
may hear from him again through the
Gazette. At this Convention we
met teachers aud leaders a good num
ber; some of whom I will mention
who lead good lessons ’ A. J. Barnelt,
•of Tilton, Ga., E. It. Hamilton, of Vi 1 -
lanow, Ga., A. Kinnamon and L. S.
Kinnnmon, Tilton, Ga , J. S. H.
Black, Stilesborough, Ga., B. W. Cas
tleberry, Rock Spring, Ga., J. 11. Say
hrs, Trion Factory, Ga.. S. M. Itoacb,
Red Clay, Ga., and M. M. Barry,
Dalton, Ga., a youth about fifteen
years of age we suppose, who bids
fair to be useful ns a vocalist if be wi 1
continue to improve as lie has for some
trine prst. He leads well for aloy so
yonng. J. A. Bradley and Joab
Lewis, teachers from the Cherokee M.
Convention, were present, and appear
ed to be interested considerably in the
subject. There is mueh enthusiasm
among the membership of this body
nd we are inclined to believe a con
siderable amouui of good will be done
by them in promoting a good cause.—
Just let those young men who are now
beginning to lead purchase the proper
text books aud not be too hasty to be
teachers before they have well stored
their tniuJs with rudimental matter,
and attain the proper proficiency in
practice, and they may be meful to
the woild by hav.ng lived.
T be busii.ct-s of this session was in
teresting. A commitiee w'as appoint
ed to select a teacher, a place, and
time to conduc t a normal school, and
the choice fell upon Prof. J, W. Ram
sey, the place Dogwood Church, Dog
wood \ alley, and ihe time to corn-
ineoce 6th day of December next, to
continue twenty flays. This is to be
Jjrincipally a drill exerc'se, to receive
*ll who desire to ead music.
Let all young pers ns who desire to
attain to proficiency take a course with
i’tof. Ramsey next December, He is
"Well qualified, has a fine library of
music books from the best authors, and
be has much experience in teaching
any system of music. Let the Nor
mal School be well patronized.
On Sabbath evening, as the time
drew near to a close, and the selections
of music were becoming more on the
pensive order, and the sentiment sung
“Wben shall we all meet again, etc./’
we could perceive that serious, solemn
thoughts were pervading the minds of
the entire assembly.
Ihe exercises were closed with the
best of feeling and hopes entertained,
if on earth we meet no more, that ere
long we might sing on the blbsful
♦iiore.
’I he exorcises having closed, our
good friend, Eli Burkett, formerly of
Upson county, G., kindly proposed to
deliver us to Calhoun, a distance of
seven miles, which opportunity we
were proud to meet with.
While enroute to Calhoun, our
friend Burkett gave us many interest
ing woeounts of the lands of Upper
Georgia. The iron, coal and gold
mines will ere long, we believe, attract
the attention of heavy capitalists to
this country. Northern Georgia, ta
ken all in all, is a great section.
At Calhoun we met with our young
friend, J- O. Dobbins, formerly of Bal
timore City, but now merchant of
•Calhoun, who is doing a thriving busi
ness in this place, and should aDy of
4*% i merchants Deed any bacon, corn,

Joyful X}<Ly Original by S, D. BURDEtT, March 21, 18G9.
This is the day the Lord hath made; lie calls the hours his own. Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround His throne,
wheat or any kind of produce gotten
up from this part of the State whe~e
it is i heap, send your order to J. O. D.
and he will save money for you. He
is a good trader, knows every body in
that country, his father having lived
there fora long time, and owns one of
the most valuablo possessions of land
in Gordon county.
At Calhoun we tarried with onr
highly esteemed friend, Judge W. O’
Holmes, formerly of Baruesville, Ga.,
until 10 o’clock (train tini'e). He has
cnarge of the High School at Calbottn,
.and we learned from some of Uts pat
rons in the Valley that ho could not be
excelled as instructor of the young,
having better discipline and considered
a better scholar than any oue ever yet
at that place. We suppose Calhouu
will about compare with Barnesville in
population.
Judge Holmes speaks of Northern
Georgia as a good section ; thinks
there are hidden fortunes for many
enterprising persons that may invest
in lands in that region, vet does not
appear to be as well satisfied with the
country as some others we have seen,
we suppose owing to his not dealing
so much with the soil as some others
have done.
At ten o’clock we bid adieu to our
Calhouu friends; fell aboard the W. &
A. train and, feeling much confidence
in the captain oh board, we slept the
most of the time while enroute to At
lanta.
On Monday morning we bought the
books requested by onr North Georgia
friends, shipped them immediately, fell
aboard fhrt M. & VV. tr<*u, and learned
through our friend J. S. JeffYiess, the
Rou'e Agent, the cans** r-f eo many
failures in mails throughout the conns
try. We believe Mr. Jeffriees well
understands his business, and prompt
ly sets all mail matter in a wandering
way, that passes through his hands ou
its proper route lor arrival speedily to
its destination.
LESSON IN MUSIC.
CHAPTER XLII.
OF THE ADDED NINTH.
Question. — A chord of bow many
sounds is formed, when to the Chord
of the Dominant Seventh, the Ninth
is also Joined ?
Answer.—A chord of five sounds is
formed and rises from the Root by
regular thirds, as G B D F A.
Q. In producing Harmony with the
aided ninths, how many parts are we
compelled to employ ?
A. Four parts, and the radical Base
is commonly omitted, for tie leading
note is always sufficiently powerful to
guide the ear to its proper Root.
Q. What is the name of the added
Ninth to the Dominant of the scale ?
A. The added Ninth of the Domi
nant from the M-jor Key is tbe Sub
mediant of the Major Scale.
Q. Why is the Dominant often call
ed the Dominant Seventh, when in
fact it i3 ouly a fifth from the M*jor
Key ascending ?
A. The two keys bang related as
beads of a family, the Seventh is de
rived from the Minor Key, as frem A
to G a seventh ; and the Fiftb, or
Dominant, from C Major Key, as from
C to G.
Q If tbe added Ninth of the Do-mi
nant is the Submediant of the Major
Scale, what is its distauce from A, the
natural Minor Key ?
A. As the ninth from G Dominant
to C, the Major Key, is A, heuce we
fiud it to be tbe Natural Minor Key of
itself.
Note.— Mr. Kollman (Essay on
Harmony) terms this Ninth a suspen
sion of the original fundamental note.
Such is also the system of Kimberger;
but tbe Nomenclature is defective,
since tbe above Harmony is used gen
erally without preparation, and in some
instances actually rises from tbe Dom
inant by thirds. See Handel’s Chorus
in “Israel in Egypt,” “The People
Shall Hear,” at the words, “Tell thy
people pass over.” See, also, the
opening of Haydn’s celebrated Over
ture in D, composed for Bach and
Al el s Concerts, where, upon a Domi
nant Pedal Base, the Fourth is sas
pended aud the Ninth added.
Q. If tbe omission of the Root
forms a chord of the seventh on the
Leading Note, how may it be known
from tbe other sevenths?
A. It may be known from the Sev
enths of Sequence or Suspension, by
its resolution into the Tonic. It may
sometimes be prepated, but is general
ly used without preparation.
Q. Are anv vf tbe Inversions of this
Seventh employed in the Mejor Scale ?
A. None are; but all aio Used in
that of the Minor.
Q. In a close investigation of this
chord, what is it found to combine ?
A This ■chord is a combination of
the Dominant and Subdominant Har
monics, since it contains the B and D
of the former, and the A ami F of the
latter, while the resolution of D and
F falls on the same note.
Q. What is to be observed in the
above combina'ion of sounds?
A. It is observable that the above
combination of souuds incluoes every
note of the sca'e, excepting the three
notes of the Triad on the Tonic, and
that it also decides the mode of the
scale, since the Sixth, or Submediant,
is pari of the Chord of the Subdomi
naait, which is Major or Minor accord
ing to the key.
Q Of what dops the same chord in
the Minor Mode consist ?
A. Of three Minor Thirds, and its
extreme notes are the Sharp Seventh
and Minor Sixth of the scale. It is of
such importance in modern music that
it is termed the Diminished Seventh, or
Equivocal Chord.
Q. Where can the Seventh of G
sharp only be found ?
A. Only in the Key of A Mi tor,
Q V\ here can the ladical Base of
this chord be found ?
A, In extreme modulations by two
methods. Ist, By the Major To ml
below the last Sharp ; 2nd, by the sem
itone below the last Flat.
Q W hat is the Chord of the added
Ninth termed ?
A. Chord of Major and M nor Sub
p/-/>//>/■ rt Cmoo J
derived from the Dominant Seventh
by substituting the Ninth in the place
of the Eighth.

Messrs. Editors : Good luck hav
ing carried us, a few days since, to
your pleasant little town, we have con
eluded to give your readers an account
of what we saw and heard during our
stay.
To those who have visited Barnes
ville, it is nse!e-s to say it is one of the
most delightful places in Middle Geor
gia. As regards refinement and culti
vation, it stands upon an equality with
any place of its size in the South.—
The town is much scattered and is ex
ceedingly healthy. The business men
seem to be wide awake, and prosperity
and success crown their efforts.
Rarely has it been our good fortune
to spend so delightful a season. Aside
from the pleasure of being with some
of our dearest and best friends, the
kind regard shown us by some of the
estimable citizens tendered our stay
doubly pleasant.
On Thursday night, 29th ulf., an
entertainment was given by a number
of ladies and geutlemen for the pur
pose of raising funds for improving the
soldier’s cemetery. It was originated
and directed by Mrs. Blalock and Mrs.
Rockwell, ladies eminent alike for
goodness and energy.
In the selection and arrangement of
the programme, much system, judg
ment and good tuste were displayed.
The evening being pleasant, the ball
was well filled at an eaily hour. Tbe
exercises were introduced by a fine se
lection by the Silver Cornet Band, fol
lowed by charades, tableaux, and mu*
sic of diffeieut styles. The charades
were very fine, and the characters well
supported. We were not a little sur
prised to find such talent among the
young people of Barnesville.
Where all did well, it will, perhaps,
not be amiss to alludo to a few who es
pecially deserve our commendatio .
Miss Tyler, whose lovely face,
“bonnie black eves” and “raveu tress
es” would make her a favorite with
any audience, added greatly to her
charms by her modest and unpietend
ing manner, as well as tbe skill aud
grace with which 6he performed her
part.
Miss Dumas personates well ; her
tone of voice and manner of speaking
were admirably adapted to the char
acter she so creditably sustained.
We can never repress a smilo so
long as we retain a remembrance of
Miss Fouche’s rendering of the ‘old
maid.” As an amateur her acting is
beyond criticism, and, with some expe
rience, would do credit to the stage.
Misses Chambers, Lee and Harris
added much to the attractiveness of
the stage by their handsome appear
ance and skillful delineations.
Mr. Strother would make a fine
comedian. He is very much at ho re
on the stage and sustained different
characters with marked success.
Vt e were much impressed with the
noble appearance and dignified bearing
of Mr. Hanson, who performed his
part quite creditably.
Mr. Elder took a prominent part in
the entertainment and made a success
of everything lie attempted.
Several songs and choruses were
veil rendered by the amateurs, Mrs,
Hightower presiding at tire piano with
her usual skill and attraciive grace.
“Japtain Jenks,” sung by Mr. Rog
ers, proved* h'ghly pleasing to the au
dience. II is voice is rich aud mu-ical,
and, with cultivation, would make a
“star tenor.’ T
“The Bell Goes Riogiog for Sarah,”
suog by Miss Harris, was quite a suc
cess. We were at a loss which most
to admire, her fresh, youthful beauty
or the charming witchery of her man
ner.
The tableaux scenes were very fine.
These, we believe, were under the
skillful direction of Mr. A. M Lamb
dio, and evinot-d much talent as well
as a highly cultivated and refined
taste.
T 1)6 Stiing Band regal'd ns with
some delightful musie between scenes
and added much to the success of the
performances.
The entei tainment, like every tiling
else, had a finale, and runny s. emed
reluctant to leave the scene of enjoy
ment ; yet we think all were well sot
isfied with the evening’s performance
To the managers and performers is
due mu oh credit for their efforts in a
'lWtwy J f.
eournged to make renewed efforts in
future.
We cannot dose without a few
words of com iru ml a Ton fo the audi
ence. \Ve have m ver been present on
any occasion wbeie mote p*-ifectde
pertinent was maintained. The po
lite at'e itioi) and high appieria ion ol
the audience evidenced the high t ned
charac er of the people. M.

Melancholy Accident. —A Car
rolton correspondent of the Newnati
Herald of Friday, sends that paper the
following sad narrative;
On Friday, the 30th ult., Mr. Brace
well sent his negro boy to the well to
water a mule, flh little son, a bright
little fellow of some nine summers,
while the mule was being watered
picked up t ! e chain that was attached
to the halter, and in his childish tin
thoughtedness entwined it around his
own neek-
A dog lying in the yard barked at
the mule causing him to jump back,
j rking the hoy directly under him.—
This, of comse, frightened the animal
more than ever. cker than thought,
and before toe negro had tune to ar
iest his movements, the now thorough
ly alarmed animal dashed off at fu 1
speed, dragging the unfortunate boy
VriA Lon *j l'S.e HI grO
gave the alarm and the family suued
i) pursuit. Fragments.of clothing be-
Mnetired with blood weto found at in
tervals suspended to bushes along the
path taken by the affr gbtened animal
After following the tn.ck for about
ha fa mile they found their poor boy
lying in a narrow road, all torn and
bleeding ana beating no resemblance
to the pretty, bright eyed chi and Ir
was a few minutes ago. The chain
had come loose and the mule was
standing a few feet oft’. The father
carefully ra sed his daring b -y, but
the blight sp rit. had relumed to him
who gave It. Every v.-stige of cloth
ing had Isxvn torn from his person.
llis mek ami one shoulder were bro
ken and his whole body fearfully lacer
ated. Words are inadequate to de
scribe tlie angi ish of that mother’s
soul, as her favorite child was thus
lutlile.-sly torn from her bosom, or of
the sorrow-stricken father as ho became
conscious of his loss.
From Scmter. —The Courier of
SaturJav (?a}B :
We paid a visit to a few farmers
north of our city and found the crops
in good condition. Some have u-ed
iertilizers, aud its effects can be readi
ly f-een. YV e saw one field on part of
which fertilizers were used, whilst on
the remainder none were employed.—
\Y r e could tell from the road, without
any difficulty, the very row where
they began to use the guano. The
crops evidently show the great benefit
to he derived from the use of fertilizers.
The only difficulty is, our farmers are
too sparing in the use of manures.
We regret very much to learn that
Dr. Shade Turner, an old and highly
esteemed citizen ot this county, died
on the 4th inst., at his residence in the
17th District. Ihe loss of such a man
is a great loss to any community.
