HICKORY FLAT, CHEROKEE CO.
Messrs. Editors : We had some frost
here last night. It is cool this morning.
Cotton is not as good as last year ; but a*
much making as well can be gathered.
We have corn in abundance, and the
healthiest county in the State. A Grange
was organized here late yesterday. I be
lieve Cherokee now boasts of three Gran
gets. More hay here than was ever before
made in one season. Land is going up in
price. In fact nothing is going down
here except the cotton caterpillsre. They
all went down last night at the bidding of
Jrck Frost. Very Respectfully,
Oct. 8. 1873. W. B. C. P.
THE NORCROSS AND CANTON MAIL
ROUTE.
Our Cherokee correspondent writes for
Information alsmt the projected Norcross
and Ca iton Mail Route. He says the peo
ple want the line established and will get
up their petitions as speedily as possible.
The information deem’d is as follows.
Starting at Noreroes tnc route proceeds
to Newtown P. O. Milton County, a dis
tance of seven miles. From Newtown to
Alpharetta seven miles—from Alpharetta
to Troy P. O. seven miles—from Troy to
Hidtorv F’at Cherokee ounty, six miles—
from Hickory Flat to Canton seven miles.
Our correspondent suggests that the line had
b 'lter ran via FreemsiwrUle and leave out
Troy as it is out of the way. Will our
friends at Troy and Frecmaasville, let us
hear from them. The schedule on this
route can be so arranged that the Post Of
fices on the line can receive their mails ,
on Friday mornings or Ft hlay evenings.
The Atlanta Weeklies and New York
Wet'klhs roaeh Norenw on Thursday
nights and Friday mornings. This will ;
give our subs- -ribose on th > line their pa
pent fivsh fix»m the pres*. Some petitions
bare been sent in. Let us have thvest.

EDITORIALS IN BRIEF. J
The yellow fever has made a charnel
house of Shreveport and atemporaiy waste
of Memphis. It rages without apprecia.
ble abatement. Southern cities and vil
lages, through charitable societies, are send
ing hundreds of dollars for their relief.
The Atlanta Herald of Sunday contains
the charge of Judge Hopkins to the Grand
Jmy of Fulton County. It is plain, poin- ,
ted, and able, and the enterprising Hera’d 1
men have never given their readers a more v ’
wholesome dish.
r
A county school comminsioner, says that §
“all the teachers in the State have been I
ignored in the interest of the money lend- ®
ers. ” 'I he Slate '1 reasurer says that “he 7
is ready to give to county Treasurers an
order on the Tax Collect rs of their res
spective counties for the school fund.”
We thought Gov. Smith w’ould be satiso
fled with being the self-constituted guar
dian of the Common School Teacher’s
funds inasmuch as be had loaned it to At
lanta Brokers. But now he throws his
guardian shield over the county funds.—
Well, we live and learn, tut Teachers and
tax-payers have learned one thing! well,
viz : Ihe common ’school system of Geer
gia is a sham and a falsehood.
It is proposed to make Ex-President
Davis Chancellor of the University of '
Georgia. What does President Davis know
about conducting colleges'? Is it supposed
that the mere reputation of ajman wll*
■build up and sustain the University ? If
so, the supposition is false. It is time to
explo !e the idea that any man though great
in many particulars, can successfully man- ‘
age colleges and uuiversit es. It requires
a man conversant with theories of educa
tion, well versed in text-books, familiar
with the minute workings of institutions,
and thoroughly acquainted with the ge
nius of the people «ho patronize the in
stitution. Is not Prof. Leßoy Brown com
petent and worthy ?
The views of President Grant, as tele
graphed Oct. 12, in regard to the Panic
show more forecast, knowledge, and good
-ense than anything we have seen attribu
ted to our General-President in a long
time. He says the panic will hurt but few
individuals, and will do the country more
good, and backs bis assertion by good
sound reasons.
It is reported here that the Roswell Rail-
Road Company have purchased the com
plete outfit of the narrow-guage portion of
the Cherokee & Yau Wert Rail-road.
The treatment of Indians by the whites
of America has been an almost unbroken
series of crimes in disregard of all laws.
The other day four Modoc Chiefs were
hanged, having undergone a sham trial for
killing Canby and Thomas in a peace confer
ence. ’I wenty years ago these Chiefs fathers
were murdered by American soldiers at
a conference to which they ha I been invi
t ted under a truce flag of Captain Wright.
. The modoc chiefs, ignorant of the laws
of war and the.lenstoms of civilized nations,
simply followed the precedent set by
1 Americans. Captain Wright was the officer i
of a Christian nation and perpetrated his ;
atrocious deed with a full knowledge of ,
1 its enormity and lived and d< d unc-uirtir-T.
and uncondemned.

UNSOLICITED COMPLIMENTS.
From Atlanta Constitution, March 11, '73.
Prof. Vincent, the Principal, is one ol
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 indeq-emient 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-Line Railroad, about twenty miles
from Atlanta.
From Gatnesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873.
There is nothing of more importance to
the youih of our country, than a sound
practi-ml education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in or ler
that the foundation for an education may
be laid in the shortest time mid at the
leastexpense it is necessary to have teach
ers -those who, from experience, h ive
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 rij>e schol
ar ami experienced teacher.
From the Cartersville Standard.
We again say to our people that no bet
ter school can be had than this. Here
they get s-oiuid practical teaching, and
: will be by the student thoroughly learned.
