ROME, GrA.
f nuns DAY MORNING, NOV. 4.
FARMERS TAKE NOTICE.
We do most emphatically urge upon the
farmer.* who are iu attendance upon the hair
that they will earetully examine the urn-
- chines and implements, the improved seeds
md stock that are on exhibition to-day.
Nearly any machine upon the ground, if
bought, will pay for itself in a year or two
by the saving of labor, and the increased
effectiveness with which it does the work it
is put to. Then farmers examine them aU,
and if you see one that you think % good
one make arrangements o bay it—the own
ers will give' you liberai terms. If you
cannot got it;by yourself, see some of your
neighbors and makeup aelub and buy it—
you will be handsomely repaid.
If you see a new style of plow that you
believe to be better adapted to use than
vour o\v , go and make some arrangements
by which you can get it. If you see a
iinely blooded piece of stock, try and make
arrangements by which you can improve
your own stock. Let the Fair be produc
tive of a practical and immediate progress
in agriculture.
\Y e are too careless, too wasteful and too
slouchy in our system of farming, anyhow.
Nearly every planter in the Cherokee coun
try wastes enough—yea, absolutely wastes
cuougb to support a half dozen economical
families.
In New England, whero they farm with
all the latest improvements—good plows,
labor-saving machinery, good manures and
blooded stock—there, a man who has
dozen acres of land is rich, and enjoys all
the substantial comforts of life and most of
the luxuries, while in this country a man
with three hundred nereB wil 1 raise a slim
crop upon murdered and hungry ground,
badly managed and worked during the sum
mer,and during the winter will haul a load
of wood to town behind half starved oxen
sell it for a dollar, and go home and eat
cold boiled potatoes for dinner-
We sincerely hope for a change frjm
these things.
We have got the best country that God
ever gave to man—anything from broom
corn to clover can be grown with success
here—all that is needed is method of pro
gress in farming—lob us have that.
We repeat, then, watch closely all arti-
ticles on exhibition, and if you see one that
appears to your judgment as good, tjy and
procure it, and let this section, so blessed
in all things, teach agriculture to the
State.

ening ap for the Fair.

AMOR PATR1A,
A very enrions fellow, sheltering his
lovely carcass beneath the classio shades of
thejabove-mentioned “nomme de plnme” at
tacks its rabidly because we were glad that
Andrew Johnson was defeated.
Now Amor Patria, (would'nt Amor Pa
triae have been more correct) we have the
following to say to you :
You have entirely misconstrued us. We
said, aud we repeat that we do Ji|cg Andy
Johnson, but wc did not like the principle
[ion which he was running. He had said
t.iat his desire was to “make Rome howl, 1
aud the whole hne and cry of his partisans
was to put him in because be was a first
class “make Rome howler." The Radical
papers declared that Bntler, the Beast,
would have been sent to meet him, and we
l ave no doubt but that had Johnson gone
to the Senate, with his blood boiling from
late struggles with Congress, and his word
giv -n to his supporters, ’that be would stir
up the Radical animals, being bound to
meet the bilious Butler in rpen controver
sy, that personal spats and slings wonld
have been indulged in, and certainly would
iiave retarded the business of Congress, re
vived old issues, opened old wounds, aud
caused the scattering of “Billingsgate” ad
museum, and delighted the country with
exhibitions of political slangwhangin,
Wc do want Johnson to come to the
Fair, and no one who will read our article
on his defeat carefully, can find anything
half so highly calculated to keep him off as
the fulsome adulation of our vigorous friend
who dabbles ia the classics.
We made an honest attack npon the pol-
iey upon which he was hoping for success,
yet in almost evsry line is coached a com
pliment to his superb intellect, and bis past
course. We would advise our friend to
write some more, he is so interesting—not
grammatica 1 oreuphonions, yon know, but
so picturesque in style, andso “demd fesci-
natin” in diction.
Come again, Amor Fatri-ab-ah-ha-ba.
To Advertisers.
1 We eannotpresont in strong enough lan-
* guage that our merchants will derive from
a judicious advertisement inserted daring
. the Fair.
There will not be less than 5,00.9 stran
gers. in the city, at the very least estimate.
At least three fourths of this number vyill
come to the Fair prepared to do gome trad
ing or shopping.
Then say we, give publicity to your mer
its—let the people know your virtues, aud
you will draw the trader. Au advgrtise-
. meat will pay better during the Fair than
, any instrument we can think of,
' Let every man advertise. As is well known
■ the Courier has by far the largest circulation
. of any paper in this city, or section, and our
_-Jj charges are moderate. We respectfully ask
4 then for the favors of our merchants. We
- shall print an Immense number of extra
copies during the Fair «d make no extra
charges. Come on, then, with yojir adver-
- tisemcats.
is coming in, from pursely little pigs to high
stepping horses—mysterious jockey looking
peopl-. are whispering together knowingly
and commenting upon things equine—la
dies are parading the stree s procuring ar
ticles for the festive week—hoises tretted
by diminutive riders are jerking up the
streets to the tune of 2:50, and dashing iu
front of mad little sulkies with scarcely less
haste, and all the people are brushing, and
dusting and cleaning up their respective es
tablishments for the entertainment of guests
during the coming week.
Everybody has caught the merry conta
gion—oven the very fences are rejoicing in
the gorgeens panoply of highly colored
show bills, to the effect that “Templeton
Troupe—Fashionable Operetta—Black
Crook Grotto—Fancy Dances—Charming
Show, ete.” And that Wyman will givo
a “series of entertainments from Fairy
Land—Illusions without apparatus, etc.’"—
“Grand Pauorama and Ventriloquism Un
paralleled.” And more gorgeous than thrse
is the “Famous Balloon Ascension; lady tak
log au aerial flight to an enormous height-,’ ’
aud many others too numerous to mention.
Verily, we Romans will have shows in
abundance.
Our merchants are fully alive to the im
portance of taking advantage of the Fair
for trading purposes, and will be no doubt
in very lively business for the next week to
come. Everything is prosperous at the
Fair generally. We have the best Fair
Grounds in the State, or probably in the
Southern States—i. e. the best naturally—
of coarse the improvements upon some oth
ers are better than ours.
The who'e thing promises to be a suc
cess. More than its most sanguine friends
had hoped for.
To everybody outside of Rome we say,
“Come to the Cherokee Country Fair,”
Historical Society.
We want a historical society. 1 t c
tion of conn try is richer in traditi. >. * lere
and in stirring legends,' than any wc know
of.
Why, what man is there in the whole
country that would not stop to listen to the
tale of Ridge or of Ross? Who is there
that would not be entertained with a recit
al of the old tales that cluster around the
beautiful rivers that net us in so easily, and
the grand mountains that smile upon us?
Who would not be astonished at the won
der and beauty that is couched iu the very
names of these rivers, and mountains? Who
would not drink in with delight accounts of
the tough stragglings of our forefathers with
the Indians,for this very spot? These things
orm part of the history of the land, and
should be incorporated with it. There are
men among us now, who know all about
these thiags, and who could give autheutic
information od all these subjects. But these
patriots mu3t soon pass away. Let us or
ganize a Historical Society, and collec-
these rude materials, and form them into
one of the most interesting chapters of his

The Coiambus Enquirer still urges South

Woman’s Suffrage
All of New England—that damned re
pository of isms—is now being convulsed
by the question of Woman-Suffrage. A
ood many old ladies are clamoring for their
rights, aqd a good many old lady gentlemen
are keeping up the clamor. The movement
is gaining ground rapidly. We are opposed
to it, qf course. Just think of our “wife
aud six”—the charming little fools,—con-
troling our sagaoious vote on the ballot-box,
it is absurd One of the latest capers, is
that of and ugly old hen who puts in a
motion to foioe every man to many, be he
willing or not. She should be severely
doctored. But should the motion gain
ground aqd become lew,we advise onr bach
elor friends to emigrate to Utah and “go
the whole hog.” A man who Has remain

“C little marriage is a dangerous thing."
Then we advise then; to go to Mormou
