The Rome Courier 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. THE COMING FAIR. Everything in and around Home is vrak ening ap for the Fair. 0 ir streets are becoming thronged with Editorial Brevities. Coal 12 dollars jer tin in Moutg ry |g Geary’s election will most likely be voh- wagnnsand with people—stock of "all kinds in Philadelphia. The Age think** 0 r r _ . . n ..»• i i _:n J.-i 71 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 tory, that can be found any where. Some body make a start in the matter. tba' a Radical legislature will declare it Ilf legal. The burning ofgin houses reportM dai ly in all parts of the country—our planters should v e very careful. Virginia Stata Fair now eouimenced is a great success. Texa- has 125,(JOG registered voters. Some whites. It is proposed to erect a monument to Adam. Ma-k Twain would contribute to thi*, we suppose. It is rumored tbat a new gold ring is about to commence operations in New York. The snow storm in Louisville found the trees in full foliage—earliest snow storm ever known in Kentucky. The Masonio Grand Lodge this week m Macon a day orjtwo since was unsually attend ed, and did good business. Alabama will have a Press Convention Fire in Griffin —loss not severe. Bap tist minister distiaguished himself. Fight between the soldiers and negroes at Goldsboro, North Carolina. Nobody killed. Two or three wounded. Richmond had ice quarter of an inch thick on the 27th inst. This is going be a lively winter. The great Peace Jubilee in Boston paid Gilmore, who got it up $38,028. The great building—the Colisenm—was sold by lot tery, and drawn by some unfortunate fel low. Frost reported everywhere in the State. The latest aud East. Amor Patria having taken our advice, puts himself in correct elassic dress and comes at us as Amor Patriae. He is more vehemently ungrammatical, and more marvelously stupid than before. The sarcastic gist of his article consists in saying tbat we are fascinating and onr editorials are spirited. Such sarcasm don’l hurt. He says if editors want to correct *'au- thography and grammar,” they’l find it in their own columns. “Authography. Badly mixed—what is it ? You spell by sound, don’t you ? Now, Am Pat. hear us.' If you write at us again, we will republish your whole article in the Courier, and let all of our readers see what you app. We’ll do it sare. Hate to treat you so bad, but we must do it. The idea of a man who can’t write spell, correctly, taking a laths pqme fie plume. Bosh—you are pedantic, Pat. PEN ANP SCISSORS. Rumored that the New York Firemen will soon visit the South. An acre of barley in Kentucky yielded 45 bushels of that grain. Massachusetts now indulges in “charita ble horse trots” for the benefit of benevo lent societies, The belle of the period fastens her gloves with diamond stnds. spirit of the press > Atlanta and ttie Atlantese. Wc paid lost week a flying visit to the tbove named bustling place. We fonnd ousiness upon the streets comparatively lull, although there wasstill enongh traps- i icied to keep a half dozen cities of that ize in complete running order. The Democrctie meeting seemed to be ; ]he leading subject upon tap;;—the re- ; aoval of the Postoflice having been talked jver, acted upon and dismissed by this peo- ; lc of quick action. We met many old j ponds—got some subscribers—had a royal ,u:c, and left convinced that Atlanta was ‘.place of already immense prosperity, and ' great possibilities in the future. | Macon received on Friday one thousand id thirty, nine bales of cpttpn. Fitch devotes a column to Rome in his last paper, and takes an inventory of all we have. Ho is very complimentary. He will comp to the Fair, and we are heartily glad of it. Fitch is q tramp. The Savannah Republican, ;n an agri cultural leader, advises all Southern people to plow deep, and to manure liberally. Now that all our papers are awakening to the importance of progress in things agricultu ral, we hope for good results. The papers through the_ State generally are exercised upon the subject of munici pal elections. A difference of opinion pre vails AS to whether or not the races should be run upon political issues. Id Augusta aud Atlanta the Democrats have nominated Democratic candidates. The Coiambus Enquirer still urges South ern planters to take steps to sell their cot ton only for gold or its equivalent. It copies an article from the New York World which endorses its views. We hope that some of the many conventions abont to as semble will take hold of this mttter,asi of vital importance to onr people. The Tribune publishing a slander upon Georgia in a late issue, the Chronicle and Sentinel thinks Bollock famished the ma terial oat of whiph the lie was eoqeoeled. What an extraordinary villain that fellow Bullock is. The New York Herald says that the Louisville Convention was a “twaddle,”— what is the matter with Hannah ! The Chronicle & Sentinel laments over the imbeoility of the Supreme Court— thinks it shamefully cowardly. The Constitutionalists describes and com mends the Medical College and hospital.— is a splendid institution, and the Consti tutionalist only does it justice. The Constitution hqs been pnblishing a series of editorial articles on the prominent men of the late war. While some have beep good and some poor, the article on Lee one of the heat things we have ever read, and would shine conspicuous even iu any of Headley’s superb borks on military men. The Nashville Banner commenting upon the resolution just introduced into the Le< islature, pronouncing Cooper’s election null and void, says it was done by Andrew Johnson's agents, and rasps the unconquer bie accordingly. A lively contest going on between tba Era and the Telegraph, as to whether At- lanta has better babies than Macon. We can’t imagine how this question can be set tled. Andy the unquenchable, will be run for member of State Constitutional Convention, will be made President of that body. There is absolutely no crowding that man down. Forty-srven drawn jurors were excused in Fayette county on acconnt of havin young babies at home—Coart adjourned until baby season is over. A man named Sam Hildcfraud, who has been ontiawed in Missouri for some time writes a letter to the St. Loqis Times, aqd wants to oome in and lire in peace the rest of his life. He says he has never wan tonly killed many men. Dubuque has a girl who sits in a window and pats her feet on the sill. The New York papers chrouiole the fact that Father Hyacinthe dined npon. a broil ed beefsteak on Friday last, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Bismark, according to various corresi pondents, has delirium tremeus, billions fa ver, Bright’s disease, neuralgia, rheuma tisms and boils. Another correspondent says he is in “excellent health. An editor was beaten to death in Utah because of an article which he wrote upon polygamy. His name was Beadti. We shall never express au opinion upon polyg amy. The Medical College in Augusta has 29 students. Colnmbqs has had ice. Forney says Prentice is not much of an editor after all. Forney is an ass. “The Farmer and Artisan.” Our old friend S. A. Atkinson shoved his genial phiz into our sanctum this morn ing. We were glad to see him. After re galing us with some choice jokes aqd some good news from Athens, he laid upon onr table a copy of a new Agriculural Weekly he is just starting. It is a capital paper—typographically, a model—filled with excellent reading matter, and containing ome spirited illustration?. We heartily patnmenfi it to our farming friends. Mr. 'AtkioBon will remain some time in town in behalf of the interest of his paper and we wish him success. Copies of the paper can be seen at this office. 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 ed single for 40 years may well think that “C little marriage is a dangerous thing." Then we advise then; to go to Mormou lands and indulge very extensively. Wp ppoifljse to keep them posted.

Delano decides tbat parties selling their own products at the place of manufacture are not snbject to the special liquor tax. The first water power saw mill of which we have any record, was erected at Saar- dam, Holland,'in 1856.
