The Result of an Advertisement.
The young man who was announced in
McAfee’s advertisement, last week, as oeing
ao “exceedingly anxious to marry,” says
the advertisement acted like a charm, a
young lady having already signified her
willingness to become a sharer of his joys
and sorrows for life, and that no other pro
posals will be received. Who will now
say that it will not pay to advertise?
A Hint.
We shall be glad to welcome those o r our
friends who may honor this office with a
call, a»d will cheerfully give them an in
sight into the principles of “the art preser
vative.” There is, however, a restrictive
rule enforced in all printing offices, the vio
lation of which by visitors painfully dis
turbs the equanimity of the printer’s mind.
i h efilx't:« “Observe quietly
the mechanical < pcrations as long as you
please, but please to keep your hands off the
printing material, and your eyes off the
copy.”
Substance and Shadow.
AN INCIDENT FOUNDED ON FACT.
A young village clerk, accustomed to
joking,
And ever at friends good naturally poking,
One day to a lady his picture displayed,
And Offered to/sell it, to bring round a
The lady responded in a humorsome vein
To the banter thus dropped- by the ven
turous swain:
“’Twould be folly in me for a shadow to
i»‘y,
When the substance for naught I could get
any day I”

We wish to secure an able corps of cor
respondents, who will give us regular and
interesting reports from various sections of
Itic Country. We have already secured a.
few, and hope to hear from others before
long. We wish our rc iders to see the local
news from every part of the country, and
intend to spare no pains, to uccomplish this
end. Thf/Georgian wifi have a great
deal to say about men and things, and
those who wish to keep posted in regard to
what is going on in the country had better
subscribe for it at once. A live paper is
what we want.
What May BefiUl
The man who will not take and pay for
his county paper:
May the hogs root up all his potatoes.
May his cow kick over the pad of milk
every night.
May his horse run all over the pasture
vv*ry Swrutay morning, whetn he tries to
catch him to ride to church.
Maj’ his wife give him a curtain-lecture
every night.
Maj” he s<e his sweetheart (if he isn’t
married) smiling sweetly at another fellow.
May his paper collar .crawl up his neck
at church.
May his sock“ be full of fleas, and may
they torment him continually; and finally,
May he be compelled to hear, for two
long hours every day, a school miss of fbur
teen practice music on a piano.
The Toodles Family.
A nonchant C>r buying auction goods,
simply lice uwi of their cheapness, made
Mrs. Too lies famous; but she was only
the representative of a large portion of hu
manity. There are many people who will
do without articles necessary to their com
fort, that they may purchase from the “odds
and ends’’ of an itinerant auctioneer such
of the wares as are thought ’“dirt cheap.”
The weakness of this class Is perhaps to be
commisscrate l; but it cm hardly fail to
strike a humorous vein in the minds of the
prudent, should the watches thus bought re
fuse to keep time, the razors to shave, the
Ihirns to wash, or the clothes to wear.
Cold Experience teaches that “the best is
the cheapest;’’ but Cupidity whispers in
the ears nf men that “the cheapest is best,”
and they follow the advice to their sorrow’.

Grand Mass Meeting.
A Glorious Jubilee Coming
AT CANTON SEPT. 15th, 1875.
On the 4th inst., a meeting of the citizens
of Cherokee county was held at the Court
House. Col. E. E. Field was requested to
act as Chairman and G. W Hendrix as
Secretary. A resolution was then intro
duced by Judge James 0< Dowda request
ing all the citizens !i of Cherokee and neigh
boring counties to meet at the Court House
in Canton on the 15th of September next, to
enjoy a grand jubilee over the completion
of the Marietta and North Georgia Rail
road to Canton. The resolution was unani
mously adopted, amid much enthusiasm.
Col. Brown was then called on, and de
livered a spicy, pointed, Igpghable, and with
all a sound practical speech on. the prospects
of the road. Gen. Phillips followed in a
pithy, wity, eloquent and able speech.
Then came Judge Simmons, of Pickens,
who got off, as usual, m iny most happy
hits, butji in wit and sense.
THE BIG INVITATION.
Then came the reading of the following
invitation which was signed by a large
number of our best citizens:
Canton, Cherokee Co. G.i, Aug. 4, 1875.
The undersigned citizens of Cherokee
county, Georgia, in common with everj’
other citizen of our county icgard it a mat
ter of sincere rejoicing and congratulation
that the grading of the Marietta and North
Georgia Railroad will so soon be completed
to Canton. Other counties and other sec
tions of the State less favored tliari ours
have had tbc benefit of railroad communj
cation with the outside world—our good
old county and the sectio i of the S ate
through which this road is to pass have
been denied the pi ivileges enjoyed by others
in the race of developiijent and improve
ment which marks the age in which we
live. Many of our best citizens have moved
Off and left fine productive lands, rich
minerals, a genial healthful climate, and the
home of o her childhood, with loved asso
ciations, th it they might avail themselves
of the means of educating their children
and the almost innumerable benefits and
privileges connected with the active moving
enlightened world. Now that our county
and our section is to be linked and tied by
the iron rail and telegraph with our own
State, the South and the world, and that
we and our children are to have the bene
fits of improvements and developments, we
deem it a privilege to meet together and
make a festival occasion on the consumma
tion of the work of grading to our county
seat. We therefore invite every citizen of
Cherokee county, with thtir families, to
m et with us at Canton on the morning of
the loth Septeinb r next, and to bring a
basket of good things, that in our rejoic
ings wc may be fed. We further invite as
guests our absent friends and former citizens
who yet cherish love for our good old
county to meet with us on this festival oc
casion. We invite our friends in Atlanta,
Cubit, Pickens, Gilmer, Fannin, Uuio n, at
Ducktown and Western North Carolina, to
meet with us, especially do wc invite, ask
and urge every member of the General As
sembly, particularly those who think we
have a poor country not worthy of a rail
road, lobe present.

The Good Templars, b* it remembered,
hold a grand picnic at Cherokee Mills, next
Sirtnrtlay. The Canton Brass Band will
discourse sweet music ; there will be cntcr-
Vaining songs, and game'*, and social con
verse; and, to crowu all, an intellectual
treat, it is expected, will lie furnished by
Dr. Hickman, Grand Secretaiy Robinson,
and others. Every body is invited to par

j and it is hoped that all of our citizens who
I can will “lend the light of their counleu

Admitted.
Wc call attention to the law card of our
young friend B. F. Payne, to be found in
another column. Bon is a native of Chero
kee comity, graduated with hou >r ai the
State University, an 1 also at the Lebanon,
Tennessee, law school. He h;ts located at
this place for the purpose of practicing
his profession, and ifa g >od moral character,
emtiK'nt qitnlificatiofis, and strict attention
to business will entitle a tn in to success in
business, then we predict for oar friend
Ben a brilliant career.
A Big Scare.

TOWN TALK.
You needn’t say anything about it, but
money is rather scarce hereabouts.
Horse swappers had quite a brisk season
of equine speculation during the session of
coart.
Things were lively in town during court
week. The Canton hotel had the air of the
National in Atlanta.
The capacity of Mr. McAfee’s hotel was
well tested during court week ami found to
be fully equal to all demands.
We have an incipient anti-tobacco and
an anti-coffee lodge. The first has four and
the last three members. What next?
The auctioneer clamored earnestly on
the streets, last week, for the l ist shinplas
ters our folks have. He took in a little.
The Canton cemetery is badly in need of
repairs, and we hope it will receive the
early attention of all who are interested.
A bridge across the Etowah, opposite
town, will erelong become a public neces
sity. It would be a great convenience now.
Hid Artemus Ward been present last
week, he could, without difficulty, have or
ganized his propoied regiment of Colonels.
Next Saturday is expected to affird a
most enj >yable time to those who attend
the Good Templar’s picnic at Cherokee
Mills.
If anybody wants a farm, a water-power,
or a gold mine, in Cherokee Georgia, let
him call on or address the publishers of
The Georgian.
Will Collum, who was week before last
putin jail,'was ordered released by his
Honor Julge Knight. The Grand Jury
reported “no bill.”
The Grand Jury in their general present
ments, as will be seen, recommend the re
pairing of the roads within the incorporate
limits of town. Look out, city fathers.
A negro street-preacher and singer was
in town, the other d ty, and afforded some
fun for the boys. He resemble 1 a connect
ing link between, a man and an ourang
outang.
“Where do all the people come from ?”
was a question frequently asked last week.
Now the interrogation has been turned into
an exclamation: “Wheie have all tlie peo
pie gone!”
Among the notabilities in town during
court, were the Dilbeck triplets—healthy,
active girls of four summers—who, accom
panied by their mother, visited Overland’s
gallery, and were “taken” by the artist.
We did not see a single drunken man on
our streets during conrt-week. What a
change for Canton ! Blessings on the tem
perance reformers! Let the good work go
on, until the whole land is freed from the
curse of intemperance! Sft. mote it be!
The Canton Bra’s Band was re-organized
on Wednesday nig|it last, with a view to
greater efficiency. Professor O’Shiolds,
though a Goo 1 Templar, “took a horn” on
that occasion; for which, however, he can
not be blamed, as all are pleased that he
did it.
An ordinance should be passed by the
Town Council, if none exists, for tbc pro
tection of shade trees, and to prevent the
hitching of horses to the fences about town.
The erection of a few additional hitching
posts would perhaps be necessary to accom
modate the public.
Levi Gresham, a freedman living in town,
is setting an example worthy of imitation
by all freedmen. He is a renter, paying
half he makes, and yet he is in quite com
fortable circumstances, and is rapidly accu
mulating property. The secret of his suc
cess is, that he is honest in his dealings and
industrious.
A musical instrument, when played
alone, does not make the best of music,
especially when played by a “new begin
ner but then the boys ought to practice,
and the “concord of sweet sounds” will
soon take the place of the harsh discord
which now so frequently grates upon our
sensitive ears.
AVe were agreeably entertained, during
the recess of the court on Tuesday of last
week, by a speech from Professor Vincent,
on the subject of education. The Professor
is an enterprising young man, and is here
for the purpose of getting up a first-class
school. Parents having sons to educate
would do well to send them on, and get a
benefit that will last as long as life.
You had as well be out of the world as
out of the fashion. How often we hear
this heterodoxy. Ii is a practice in surgery
to bind up the wounded parts. Perliaps
the girls understand this, and to save ex
pense, do their own binding up, and no
doubt it is a good remedy for a wounded
he irt; of course the kind of bandage has
something to do with it. Take comfort,
wasp waisted, several old batches around
here.
Ail Encouraging Sign.
Our little friend, Mack McConnell, was
in town the other day, aud speaks of put
ting up a carriage and wagon manufactory
in our midst. A capital idea, and we hope
he will carry it out Mack says he can
put iron into any shape that may be de
sired, and we believe he can. Canton is a
good place for such a man, and we will
give our skillful and enterprising friend a
hearty welcome, if he will pitch his tent
here. Mack is about twenty-eight years
old, slan Is six and a half feet in his socks,
and weighs three hundred and two pounds.
The new issue of national bank notes
will be printed on distinctive paper and
marked “Series of 1875,” and will bear the
signature of Secretary New.
That will be something New, and we
would like to have a few specimens to
show to our friends and creditors. Don’t
all semi at once!

OVER THE COUNTY.
The health of this c maty is remarkably

The Baptist Association held in Pickens

The, corn-fields in the Etowah valley

The public schools are more flourishing

Fr >in evidence produced in court, last
week, it appears that there is some fighting
stock left m the county.
A yellow catfish, weighing twenty-three
pounds, was caught in a trap belonging to
Mr. B. C. Mick, a few days ago.
We will wager that no county in the
Stale has a more orderly set of citizens
during court-we<*k than Cherokee.
There is an interesting revival ofreligion,

he could spell “baker,” “all but the k-e-r

The people of our county are becoming
noted for sobriety, but Money will get on
a “tight,” in spite of their efforts to pre
vent it.
General Colquitt, by questioning the au
dience, found that a few neighborhoods in
this county hive bought Western corn this
year. That’s bad ; and if the General will
not tell it, we’ll promise to do our best to
keep it from being so again.
If The Georgian is not worth $1.50 for
twelve months, it is not worth anything ;
and yet there are some who try to jew us
down in the price. The “p'mny wise and
pound, foolish” man can never succeed in
this world.
Remember the railroad jubilee to be held
at Canton on the 15th September. By that
time the grading to Canton is to be com
pleted. Indeed it ought to he a day of jol
lification to‘ our citizens. We predict it
will be the largest and most enthusiastic
meeting ever held here.
The Cherokee Teachers’ Association will
meet at the Court House next Saturday.
B. F. Payne will deliver an oration. Rev. B.
E. Ledbetter a lecture, and there will be
a general discussion of “How to leach Or
thography.” An interesting occasion it will
be. All are invited, and it is hoped our cit
izens will be out. Let us know for our
selves what our teachers are doing, and pro
fess to do for us.
Waiesca Notes.
took place in this portion
of the county last Saturday.
Mr. Miles Puckett has discontinued his
school, and Is going into merchandising at
Cartersville.
The crops in this neighborhood are in
fine condition, at present, but rain is needed
to perfect them.
The Grange is stirring up the old fogy
notions of fanners, and, with a little more
heat, will succeed in evaporating them.
Strangers are looked upon with suspicion
in some quarters, in consequence of the
late revenue arrests. Guilty consciences
need no accusers.
A rattlesnake was recently killed, near
this point, which measured four feet three
inches in length, and carried fourteen rat
tles. The “varmints” are becoming very
numerous.
The country around Walcscais well sup
plied with schools, and the attendance of
pupils is large. The increasing interest
in educational matters is a hopeful sign of
the future.
On Saturday night the Good Templars
installed the officers elected for the ensuing
quarter. There was a large attendance,
and several candidates were initiated. The
temperance cause is gaining rapidly in this
section, both in interest and numbers.
Orange Leaves.
The ridge farmers through this portion
of the county are needing rain badly.
Camp-meeting begins at the Holbrook
camp-ground next Wednesday night.
The -schools through this part of
the county are being largely attended.
A protracted meeting at Orange church
has been going on for the past ten days,
Rev. J. M. Myers officiating.
The first issue of The Georgian, which
we received last week, is a handsome pa

When money matters become a little easier,
we hope to furnish you with quite a num

printed, and presents quite an attractive
appearance. If the people of Cherokee
countv will now give to the paper a liberal
support, they will receive in return a rich
reward for the outlay. We welcome The
Georgian as a co-laborer in presenting to
the public the resources, advantages, and

2nd. We find the bridge across Little
river, at Graham’s Mill, in a lot tin or de

and recommend that he has said bridge re
paired or rebuilt, as seems best in his judg
ment. We also find the bridge acrossL >ng
Swamp creek in a bad condition. We also
find the flooring of the bridge across Little
river at Lovinggood’s mills loose. We rec
ommend the Ordinary to have the floor
nailed down. We also find the bridge across
Little river at Hawkins’s. Ou the Marietta
road, and also the bridge across Shoal
creek in bad condition, but are pleased to
know that the Ordinary has made arrange
ircnts to have those two bridges rebuilt or
repaired, as in his judgment seems best. We
also find part of the streets or roads going
to and from the town of Canton, within the
incorporate limits of said town, in a very!
bad conditioj}. We. call the of
the Justices of the Peace of tlie District to
this matter, and refer them to Section 652 of
the Code as to their duty. We also find
the railroad crossing at Ragdel’s store, near
John Hillhouse’s, and near. Lebanon Church
and other crossings, in almost impassable
condition. We call the attention of. the
commissioners of roads to this matter and
refer them to sections 706 and 707 of the

Recriver neat and correct. We find the
books of the Clerk of the Superior Court,

recording 50 pages of County Treasurer’s
vouchers in the year 1872, which we recom
mend paid. Wc find the county jaM neatly
kept and in good condition except some of
the iron bars of the windows are out, to
which w’e respectfully call the attention of
the Ordinary and recommend an early re
pair of the same. We learn from the
County School Commissioner that he has
44 schools for white and 4 for colored chil
dren in successful operation, and taught by
efficient teachers. We further learn that
he has on hand, of school funds, $1,583 29.
We congratulate the citizens of the
county in having a paper and county or
gan now published in our own county, and
recommend the citizens to liberally support
the paper, viz: The Cherokee Georgian,
by a liberal subscription, and further recom
mend the publication of the general pre
sentment of the Grand Jury in The Chero
kee Georgian. In taking leave of His
Honor Judge Knight, we tender him our
thanks for' the able manner in which he
has discharged the duties of his office dur
