Durflap, Atlanta. Our Ma yob's Homb and Hospitality.— On last Saturday evening we received from Hon. W. P. Johnston and his most excellent wife, an invitation to partake with them of a fine melon at their resid ence. We went, and a fine melon we found. It weighed thirty-seven and a half pounds; had ten inches of solid red meat within it; was fresh as a morning rose, and was mighty good; We eat all we could, but had to eat more, and it became simply superfirte when his Honor told us it grew in the suburbs of Norcross. When we first saw the tnelon, we thought our "erod'd should be increased. But our delu sion vanished when we saw those High Sch<>ol boys, Collier and Gholston, cut off their first rasher, and wipe from human sight at one mouthful a piece of solid meat about four by five inches. Those boys have one essential element of the orator—a big mouth; and if they always practice as much earnestness as they did on that occa sion, success awaits them. We have the best Mayor in Georgia; and the municipal government of Norcross, so far, has been perfectly successful. It is interesting to study his Honor’s physiogno my. Every feature beams with keenness of perception, resolute determination, and justness of purpose. Well may Norcross be proud of him. The Meeting of the Agricultubal Club.—We inadvertently omitted in last issue to call attention of tanners to the organization of an Agricultural Club in Norcross. There was a preliminary organ ization effected on the 3d inst. To-day the clrfb will meet and permanently organize. It is earnestly hoped every farmer in the vicinity will be out, and will take an active interest in the welfare of the club. It is no longer doubted that farmers must unite and co-operate. They can no longer grope blindly. They must, if successful, supjiort one another. They must interchange ideas, give experimental results, and work with and for one another. A permanent live Agricultural Club will do much towards lands, and augmenting the neighborhood. Il will aid in to the fanner s inter, st, the soil. We want every farmer in this community to be present. We chronicle this movement with no ordinary interest, and hojie and feel much good Will accrue from it-. Mrs. L. A. Nbßi Yob, the ec om; 11 -h -d teacher of Music and Art in the High School, began her work Monday. She has infused new life into this department. The young ladies are delighted. They have a bright future, and we predict for them rapid progress in this department. We respectfully invite the ladies of Norcross to rail on Mrs. Norryce at the music rooms, and hear hei perform upon the piano and organ. If you have daughters in the Institution, come and see under whose eharge they are placed. The young ladies of Norcross who desire to take lessons in drawing, painting zephyr work, feather work, etc., are re quested to call on Mrs. Norryce, who has had seventeen years’ experience In these branches. Thk Origin of the Soul.— Dmbtless our readers have become anxious to see the discussion between our assodatc and Ram bler open to good earnest. Judging from Rambler's last article, and the one appear ing in this issue the skirmishing is about closed. There is ao question of more im portanre than the one they propose discuss ing It underlies all Theology, and shapes the doctrines of all churches. There can not be too much known of it. Our asso ciate trundles in no worn ruta—rattles tbe dry carcasses of no exploded systems, but strikes out boldly and Independently. Jcv. The Atlanta Constwtion.—We return thanks to the proprietors of the Atlanta Uvhstitution for a complimentary pass on the Ctmadtution engine between Atlanta and Macon. This apceial engine, we learn, Is a business necessity, and is not chartered merely to gratify a desire of reckless com petition. In this view the rtttreprise is tpute commendaWe. *Krcats' Drawing Books. —We com 'ne’nd to Uw attention of teachers ami qaArons the tfoove named series. They are well calculated to develop the inventive genius of children, and can be taught by penxms unacquainted with the art of draw ing. They are very aysUmWm, ami cost only fifty rente jar set. How Pi ants Grow.—Prof. Gray’s work with the above title is the best work on Botany we have ever seen, it’s style is as pure, simple and sweet as the nectar in the flowers of which it treat*. If our lady readm wish to learn all about “How Plants Grow,” they should write to Captain Paris, at Macon, for tbte little volume. CoRKWCTtox. —ln eoßseqwnce of a sad typogranMeai error la our note to '‘Minis- Irra of the Gospel, ” last week, we publish it again. It will be found on oer fourth |MgC. A MAIL ROUTE. FROM NORCROSS TO CANTON. ■> « It seems absolutely necessary that we have a new mail route from Norcross to Canton. The citizens along the route de sire and should have it. Along .this route there is a large and thickly settled terri tory, whose inhabitants receive their mail but once a week, and then they in many instances have ,'to send from ten to fifteen imiles for it ■ ’ £ Between Norcross qfld* Alpharetta there is a large scope Os country through which ,no mail route passes. Between Alpha-etta and Canton,- a distance oiksonie twenty-five* there are no post offices, and no mails, except that which is brought by private parties from Alpharetta or Canton.. Nova directly on this route live many peo ple, and many entire communities adjoining this route would be enabled to receive their mails wi h a convenience approximating that which is usually found among civilized people, ft is preposterous to have so many good and prosperous citizens put at so great an inconvenience about their mails, when a small expense on the part of the govern ment would not only obviate this inconve nience, but also infuse new bfe into other enterprises along the route.. As it Is, this rich country is almost isolated from the world, and its citizen?, becluse of the hick of mail facilities, are kept in the back ground of the world’s progress. We want comm unications on this subject from the citizens along this route. Let us hear from you, gentlemen. If you are in earnest, let us go to work in earnest and secure the route. It can be done. Give ub the exact distance, the number of offices to be established, and the number of people to be profited by the route, and let us agi tate this subject in our columns. FIRE INSURANCE. We earnestly solicit the attention of fanners, machinist and manufacturers throughout Cherokee Georgia to the com munication in this issue headed “Fire In surance.” It is a movement in the right d rection. The plan jiroposed is eminently feasible. 'The good to accrue from its con summation is incalculable. Men may prate about free transportation, free schools, and immigration societies enriching our coun try, but more good will result to our people a strong union, and an earnest, in defatigable co-operation of our own “manor born” citizens, than from all other sources. It is an alaiming fact that Georgia is growing poorer and poorer every year, It is a sad truth that money is scarcer to-day than it has been for the last four years. Notwithstanding the abundant crops vfe produced last year, the cry of “tightness in the money market” greets us on every hand. Under a wise- economy the South ern people would have been richer to-day than ever before in the’r history. But we are growing poorer, and will continue to grow poorer so long as wc pour our life blood into the gloating jaws of New Eng land manufacturers, Insurance companies, and monied monopolies. Our people—our hohefit, toiling masses must unite their brains, muscles and capital, and co-operate unceasingly if they would become prosper ous and independent. NORCROSS. We arc hat surprised at the rapid growth of Norcross. It has grown gradually since it was first named. It has received a new impetus within the last month. Buildings, neat and substantial, are going up in every direction. Still there has been no extra exertion on the part of the citizens to induce people to settle here. Our town is in the right place, and the right kind of men wain homes here. Its proximity to At lanta; its pure air and water; its indus trious, active, intelligent population; its elegant High School building are charms to men who des're happy homes. It is idle talk to say, that if a certain man or certain men should leave here Norcross would stop gro w.'ng, Her grow th depends on no one individual, nor set of W’viduals. Her present citizens can and will do much to augment her growth; but her chief aid is to lie found in her natural ad vantages. So sure as Atlanta is and wdl continue a city, just so sure Norcross wi’l become a town of no I’ttle importance. Her fut ilities are unequalled by any town in Georgia, and her cii'wna are too far sighted to a’low these facilities to waste. Men may talk about what m’ght be, but the growth of Norcross is what is to be and " 111 be. Improvements.—That enterprising and reliable firm, McElroy, Lively & Co., have commenced building a large, two story concrete Ptoro house on the lot opposite their old stand. These gentlemen mean business. Ths style aad sbte of their store is a true exponent of their good taste ami business sense, as well as an index to their faith in the prosperity of Norcross, J. A. Miller, Esq,, one of our most reliable and accommodating merchants, bss at his own cost greatly ‘mproved the ;>sYcment in front of his store. He has made other improvements on his lot, which gives it quite an attractive apfn aianee. Out young friend, Thomas Jones, is beautifying bis residence lot. We noticed his pleasant lady out *n the yard d'reci’ng his ’abors. Wc judge she intends hav*ng a yard full of beautiful Sow era. NoOi ing speaks more for the iotelligence of house wives lhati a yard of select flowers. WE intended to insert in this issue the rehedule of the Air-Line Railway; but we learn the schedule is now be ing changed preparatory to running thiough trains. W e therefore postpone inrort'OM. It will appear ro iwa aa Hte arranged by mperw temient, j The first through tram passed dow a the I road on the 261 h 'ustoht. The Christian Index is the organ of the Raptis’ denoßiinallvu of Georgia, Alalmxna, and Middle Tennessee. It is an aide P»l*t, ■ and dwcrtca the support of every number 1 of the Baptist Church, UP AND DOWN THE AIR,LINE. We had occasion this week to visit Lawrenceville and Buford on business, and are enabled to make the following report of GWINNETf COUNTY, FroHn information derived from reliable sources, we feel-justified in saying that the prospects were never better for abundant yields of anA cotton in this county ’ than they now are. The cotton crop, should we be favored with a usually late fait, *bids fair to equal, or exceed, the yield of any other section of the State per acre. Ouj low bottom laud corn is but light, yet * the dry bottom and upland com is equal to the best ever produced here. lawrkn.cf.vii.le. The people of th : s delightful old town (in which the writer has passed the prime of his life, and where he never failed to find friend? vyhen in need of them,) a?e considerably encouraged by the flattering,, prospect of becoming sßj-ailroad town at an early day. With railroad facilities, the writer considers Lawrenceville, all things considered, the most dearable place for residence he ever saw. STAGE LINE AND HOTEL. Our genial friend, William J. Born, runs a back every morning from Lawrenceville, connecting with the up train on the Air- Line at Suwanee. He ijpt only keeps good stock and strong vehiclSlbn that line, but is prepared with a large, well furnished and well kept hotel at home, where he makes his patrons feel happy while with him, and satisfied on leaving that they have received the full value of all the money paid him. Give Bill a trial. BUFORD Is one of the best located and most thriv ing railroad towns in the State. 'The amotint of business now done there would appear astonishing to any one unacquainted with the section of coun'ry which finds a market there. A more friendly, kind hearted, accom modating and honest population cannot, perhaps, anywhere be found than there. Better water no where runs out of the earth, nor purer air blows over it, than at Buford. That must sometime become a popular place for summer resort from the scorching sun and burning sands of the low country. MRS. garner’s HOTEL Is one of the most pleasant, neat and well kept houses anywhere to be found. This is a place where it may be truly said, “The way worn traveler finds a rest.” Mrs. G. is herself one of the most amiable and intelligent ladies of which our country can boast; and withal one whose family connections will compare favorably with the best. See her card in another column, and give her a call. SUWANEE. It must be admitted that this new town does not exhibit the same signs of pros perity and rapid growth witnessed at some other pc hits on this road. But it is also true that Suwanee is surrounded by one of, if not the very, best sections of farnvng land through which the Air-Line passes on its whole length. That must, one day, become a thriving business place. There ere in fact some well qualified and successi’ul business men their now. DULUTH Is looking up. Several new houses are being built, and the place e ih’biis abun dant signs of activity in every department of business. Success to our neighbors, say wc. NORCROSS. We have notb'ng more to say of this place at present, than that we are here, not from necessity, but of choice. 8. Tire Gordonian Society.—Judging from the outburst of enthusiasm in the Gordo nian Hal’, on last Friday n’ght, the young men are thoroughly enlisted in the : r discus sions. Debating Societies arc tbe matrix from which spr' n g tbe mtebectual giants of every age. In them are ca”ed for«n and trained those poweis that r Cterwnds startle and electrify tbe world. Burned to Death.—On Monday last Willie McDonald, son of Mrs. W. R. Mc- Donald, and a son of Mr. J. S. Smith, of Stone Mountain, experimented with kero sene oil. They poured a little out of a can on a rock, and while trying to ignite that on the. rock the flame communicated with the oil in the can, exploding the can and send'eg the burning fluid over the clothing of the unfortunate boys, Willie McDonald was burned so severely that he died that eveirng. His iciflains were taken to Au» gusta frt interment. He was a promising boy, and this bereavement falls heavy on his widowed molher. Young Smith is re covering.—Atlanta Constitution, 22d inst.

Prof. Vincent, the Principal, isoneoi the leading eeucators of the State, and the High School is rapidly taking its posi tion in the front rank of educational in stitutions, From the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873. This is an independent enteprise.***** Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher of splendid attainments, having devoted his entire time and energies to that busi ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure air, good water and immediately on the Air*lJne Railroad, about twenty miles from Atlanta. From Gainesvilla Eagle, Marcfi 8, 1873. There is nothing of more importance to the youth of our country, than a sound practical education, Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, and in order that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense It is necessary to baveteach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of the Norcross High School. From Gwinnett Herald. J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol ar and experienced teacher. From the Cartersville Standard.

On this place there is a framed dwelling-house, with four rooms, a good well of water aijd a beautiful grove of forest trees in the yard; one mile from the court-house on the Covington road; near forty.five acres of fresh land in cultivation, and a young orchard of well-selected fruit: the bal ance all in the woods. The whole tract is well watered and contains a large amount of branch bottom land. Also a hundred and twenty five acres of No. 178,lying 1 and a fourth miles from the court-house, on the Jefferson load. About , half of this was. when fresh first-class level, red land, and well watered, and can now be made one of the best grain and hay farms in the country, within a short time and at comparatively little expense. There is a dwelling-house, with six rooms on the place, and a magnificent spring of water near by. Also 180 acres of No. 211, adjoining lands of .1. M. Ombrose and ethers, two and a quarter miles from the Court-house on the same road. This is all in the woods except a pine old field in one corner, and lies well.
