If anyone will say that he is too poor to

Death oPan Old Citizen.
Died on the 23rd ult., at this place, Mr.

peaceable, honest man, an 1 was respected

member of the Baptist church, and died as
he had lived in the faith of the. gospel. One

How to Build Up a Town. |
Canton is destined to become a thriving,
bustling, enterprising town. Though it
will probably never rival Atlanta or S wan
nah, in the extent of its thoroughfares or
the magnitude of its mercantile interests,
yet it will eventually assume pr (portions
fully adequate to the requirements of tais
section, and the village will grow in num
bers, wear olf m tch of its nir il app tr
ance, and step into the highway to pros
perity. Railroads arc wonderful d- velopers
of material resources, and the locomotive
whistle Las awakened many a slumbering
community to an activity and enterprise
of which it was thought utterly incapable.
But there is great danger that too much
will he expccte I upon the r.iilro id's advent;
that expectations may be raised too high ,
for realiz I'ion, and then, upon the heels of
disappointment, reaction sets in, and the
town, once so full ot life and vigor, sinks ,
back into the solitude of obscurity. Know
ing the sturdy, practical character ot our
people here, we are little apprehensive that |
the Marietta and North Georgia radtoad
will transform that character into one that .
is visionary and impracticable; but it is |
the part of wisdom to k ep in view the
shoals upon which others have grounded, ‘
the rocks upon whi h they have split, and 1
resolutely nv'<ud them.
The infl tence of railroads, however, in
building up towns, is very much overesti
mated. Through their convenience, cheap
ness, and quickness, railroads afford facili
ties for transportation unapproachable by
any other mode ; by bringing the markets
nearer home, they enhance the value vs
property, to the extent that the value of
home products is advanced and foreign
commodities are cheapened; they arc Cal
culated to stimulate both mind and muscle
to exerti >n, to inspire the weak and em
bolden the strong to embark in enterprises
for the public benefit or private gain ; but
when this is said, the direct advantages of
railroads have been fully stated. They
can neither create, nor augment, the pros
perity of a community by their inherent
power alone; for store-houses and dwell
ings, though stocke 1 with merchandise and
filled with tenants, do not constitute the
elements of prosperity.
What, then, mikes a town? We an
swer :
1. Enterprising merchants. A ‘.own is
like the trunk of a tree; the country forms
the roots; and as the tree must receive its (
nourishment from the roots or p-trish, so
the town must obtain the %>untry trade or
languish. By providing ample and varied
sto ks of goods; by liberal dealing, in
offering inducements to purchasers which
can not be exceeded by other places, and
by systematically and persistently advertis
ing whatever business you may be follow
ing—is the only successful method of pre
serving those roots and causing them to
extend into new and more fertile soil
2. J'Jefsiiti<h 1 stry. .A • com:nunit y
■mwi'u posed prlnflpiflly of consumers, ukmtgh
it may slowly grow like a tumor upon the
face of nature, can never enjoy a he ilthy
prosp-r'ly. Many villageshave sprung up,
smiling and hopeful, only to fall a prey to
the imn.producer, the mite upon the holy
politic, and struggle along for bare exist
ence; when the introduction of work
shops or factories into any of them would
have been the open senarne to wealth and
importance. Every article or implement
manufactured hi a town adds so much to
the town’s wealth ; when procured abroa 1,
the town is made proportionately poorer.
There ate many branches of industry that
require comparatively little capital to start
with, and their successful establishment in
a locality is an unfailing sign of physical
growth and material advancement.
3. E luc.itimial and moral advantages.
A town may possess enterprising merchants
and diversified industry, yet lack the ele
ments of power and progress which good
school# and high moral surroundings al
ways furnish. An educational institution,
ably conducted and well patronized, wields !
an influence that constantly grows and .
ever abides; it is an advertisement which I
reaches farther, penetrates deeper, and
lasts longer, than any other; and, when
situated in a moral community, it cultivates
the tastes and elevates the tone of society,
and supplies something more precious than
riches —something which disaster can never
disturb.
Keeping the suggested danger constantly
in view, and adopting for our theme the
three propositions stated above, we shall,
in future articles, endeavor to demonstrate
their absolute correctness.
£-57“ The Union Sabbath-School at the
I
Methodist Church, in this place, is in a
■ fioririshihg cohdition. The superintendent,
1 Rev. 11. E Le Utctter, is an efficient officer, '
1 and is well qualified for the position which
]he occupies. It is essentially a Union
Sabb-Uh-School; and both our churches are '
! rvpn'sentod. The young people take con-1
‘ siderable interest in the school, and there 1
is a good attendance every Sabbath; but
i we think the older citizens should maaifest
! more interest than they de, for a good Sab- •
bath-SchOoi is a great benefit to any com- ;
munity, and should receive the support and .
encouragement of all. We trust the mem
bers of the Methodist and Baptist churches,
j and all who feel An interest in the cause of
' morality and religion, will come and aid
I in building up the school.

ing to this natural inclination. He was
returning from school, when, in a moment

reflected much credit upon herself and her

Dr. W. R. D. Thompson of Atlanta,
paid a visit to Canton recently, with a view
to the establishment of a drug store here,
should the prospects appear favorable.
When the railroad is constructed to this
point, specialty stores will become inevita
ble, and those who obtain the earliest start
will be likely to have the advantage. We
trust the Doctor will find it to his interest
to locate in our midst.
We arc gratified to learn that the groat
temperance reform r, Colonel J. J Hick

self here, as weil as in every other portion

Drones.
Every town, city, hamlet and neighbor
hood is infested with this species of being.
They are the drawbacks on society, an in
cubus where they live, dead heads on life’s
sweeping car. Frogs of Egvpt, leaping into
everybody’s business. Intermeddlers, busy
bodies —like the plague of leprosy, incur
able. Who ever knew a Drone cured of ■
his malady? Where do all the Drones come j
from? From the cradle, raisedin idleness,!
uneducated. Lack of training makes Drones, j
Now, no man ever intended to become a ;
Drone. _ As softly and as unobserved as the !
dews of night, dronish habits crept over ,
him. At first he could have broken the i
spell, but now the gossamer web becomes a !
cable. Reflect, Drones, no man knows the
possibilities of the future. The world is
broad enough and diversified enough to
give you employment. Try this simple
remedy; it may relieve you and u«, but if
you will not try, we must teed you on
husks which swine do oat, and perhaps you
may think of your father’s home.
Girls, Help Yonr Mother.
There is no trait in the character of a
girl that will more favorably impress the
minds of those who know her than that of
helping mother. In hoyischold affairs,
>yo lovelj’ than the
young lady busily engaged washing dishes
and pots, making up the fire, bakiag bread,
coffee, all the time employed, mov-
BRjhere and there quickly, cheerfully, and
hurrying as if she was afraid inqthcr would
Lave something to do. These ■•tilings all
done, she mends your pants, sews the but
tons on your shirts, darns your stockings,
etc. Now, boys, here is a jewel. If you
want to „mnrry, ask her hand and heart.
You will find Iter price above rubies. You
have nothing to risk, win her if you can.
Noble girl, heaven will bless you for being
good to your mother. “Honor thy father
and thy mother that thy days may be long.”
Boys.
What a glorious privilege it is to be a
boy, to be a little man, made to mix up
with the affairs of this busy world of ours.
Old men will soon pass away—will leave
many high places vacant. Boys, you
must fill these—the state, the sanctuary,
the army, the school house, and last but
not least the farm. As your bright eyes
look out upon the prospect, determine to be
useful, to be good. Fill well your place,
study your books, and. above all, study the
great book of nature. Do not forget Him
who wrote it, who gave you life and all you
have. As you see these old men pass away
remember you in your turn will too pass
away, must part from the loved ones of
chihthood and manhood. Strive to do right
“A good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches.”
The Teachers’ Association,
One of the |tnost important movements
ite4~iu Cherokee county
of a county teachers’
association. Its objects are indeed the
most laudable and most useful. It is de
signed to advance and elevate the t< acbers,
to regulate tuition fees, and 10 grade teach
ers’ efficiency ; to establish a uniform series
of text-bjoks, and thereby save the enor
mous expense of continually buying new
books p to diffuse a general educational
spirit, and to give an unprecedented impe
tus to a true and progress?. <. education
throughout the county. We know the
school patrons of this county will rejoice
in this movement—the first of the kind in
the county.
Music Hath Charms.
The Canton Cornet Band, led by Prof.
O’Shields, makes good music. The young
men connected with the band seem to take
pride and pleasure in the soul-enlivening
science, and, with a little more practice, I
we think they will be excelled by none.
We heard them play, while we were in
our office the other day, “Home, Sweet
Home"—that charming, heart. touching !
piece, which never grows old, and which j
h never expeet to grow tired of hear- i
ing. What a blessing to the weary, care- j
worn soul, is music! It sootlies the ach- I
ing heart, an 1 raises the thoughts to
heaven, where the ransomed of the Lord !
shall make m:lo.ly forever.
Our Adve/tisements.
We call attention to the advertisements
to be found in this paper. We hope the
number will be lurgeiy incr ased by oar
next issue.
The ladies will doubtless discover som •-
thing of lively interest to ' hem in inc ad
vei'tisement of Mr. McAfee’s store.
W. A. Brightwell acts sensibly and ad
vertises his business. We h< pe our friends
will patronize him liberally, as we have no
doubt he deserves it.
The card of Dr. Turk will be found else
where. The Doctor’s skill as a medical
practitioner is too well known in this com
munity to need our commendation.
If any of our readers wish the services
of a first-class brick or stone mason, they
will do well to consult J. 11. Clay. The
new brick stores in Canton arc specimens
of his work.
The firm of Barton Co. is well repre
sented in this issue. Though but recently
established, it is makinsr its way into public
favor by the quality and variety of goods
sold at its counters.
To attract attention, is the chief object
of an advertisement, and this we think B.
F. Crisler has successf illy done. He keeps
everything usually found in a dry goods
and grocery store.
A coat of paint wonderfully improves
the ext rior of a building, and a neat sign
attracts the attention of every p.isser-by.
Should von act up >n this hint, j Ist employ
J. M. Hardin to d > the work, an .l he will
give you satisfaction.
Be sure and take notice ot the adver
tisement of the Canton Hotel by that prince
of clever fellows, J. M. McAfee. This
hotel is one of the best arranged, pL asuntly
situated, and splendidly kept in North
Georgia. Those who stop at this house,
either permanently or for a short time only,
will find everything that is conducive to
health, pleasure and comfort in its arrange
ment.
Those who woul 1 like to estab’ish a Tin
shop at Canton or elsewhere would do well
to call at this office and le rn where a com
plete set of tools c m be hid for the busi
ness, on liberal terms. We think Canton
offers a good opening for an enterprise ot
that kind, as a great deal of work in that
line will he to do here and along the Mari
etta and North Georgia Railroad during the
j next year or two.
The invention of photography is a
! great boon to all who clvrish the memory
of friends, and delight to summon at will
■ their “counterfeit presentment.” It is a
, solace to the parent to possess the pictures
! of the children of whom he has been be
j rest; a glimpse ot bliss tn the lover when
i he clasps the image of his inamorata to bis
j heart; and a satisfaction to every one, to
| possess the likeness of a friend or acquaint
ance. Then “secure the shadow ere the
shadow fades,” by calling at A. Overland’s
gallery, opposite McAfee's hotel, and sit
ting for one of his fine pictures.

i WALESCA ITEMS.
We have several public schools near by,
all pretty full.
Mr. Dobson, of Cartersville, is mining in
■ Lost Town, on Mr. Gordon’s farm, for black
lead with pretty fair prospects.
Goqd times coming. Watermelons and
peaches getting ripe.. Having good seasone
and the growing crops arc looking wrll,
corn 'is very promising, and fanners are
looking cheerful in anticipation of cheap
bread and plenty of pork—aiming to carry
the keys to their own cribs, and smoke
houses next year—getting tired of Western
meat.
A few days ago while a Mr. Johnson
was crossing the Coosawatec River, near
Carters in Murry county, the wagon bed
floated off and five little children were
buried in a watery grave. The mother
stood there in the angry, surging river to see
her little children go down to rise no more.
Four of those little children were found,
the fifth, a little babe, had not been found
at last accounts.
A word to friends. Do you know what
you are doing? have you thought where you
are drifting, are you aiming to buy corn and
bacon another year ? do you still think it
cheaper to raise cotton, to buy corn and
meat, or would it not it be better to raise
your own supplies? I like the home plan
far the best; it makes one feel more like
boarding at home. Ido hope that the peo
ple will go to work in earnest to make their
country self-sustaining; raise as much cotton
as you please; be sure, be certain to make
plenty of corn. Corn is the great mainspring
to a country’s success. S.
Cherokee Camp-meeting.
The Camp-meeting at Cherokee Camp
ground, a few miles from this place, will
embrace the fourth Sabbath in this month..
This Camp-ground is pleasantly situated, is
well supplied with fine shades and good
water, and we hope as many of our
friends will tent on the ground as can, as
the number of tents heretofore has been too
limited. Several able and distinguished
ministers are expected to be present, among
whom are Hon. W. H. Felton, our mem
ber elect to Congress, and the Rev. A. J.
Jarrel, the popular pastor of the Methodist
Church in Cartersville. Both of these gen
tlemen have assured us that they will be
present on the occasion if possible.
tW~The Teachers’ Association appointed
the following committee to select a graded
course of text-books, and to establish uni
form rates of tuition throughout the county:
Professor J. U. Vincent, Chairman; Rev.
W. B. Tuggle, Rev. J. W. Attaway, Rev.
C. M. McClure and S. IA . Johnson, Esq.
The Association has our hearty thanks
for passing unanimously the following res
olution:
Resolved, That we, the Teacher* Associ
ation of Cherokee county, adopt The Che
rokee Georgian as the organ of this As
sociation, and hereby pledge to it our en-
I couragement and support.
ESF" Our clever young friend, Mr. Jesse
;. Kirkpatrick, has twelve or fifteen acres of 1
the fiest cotton we think we ever saw. We ■
have decided that it will make a good bale
i per acre. Our enterprising friend, Mr. Lo- j
j gan Field, also lias a very fine crop on the •
' same farm. His weed is not large as |
i Mr. Kirkpatrick's, but it seems to be equal-1
Ily as well fruited. And by the way. our |
j patch of six acres, near by, is not to be j
grinned at by those who have no tevih. '
