The Cherokee Georgian. - —j— 4-- Oantdn, G-a_, WEDNESDAY, - AUGUST li, 1875. 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.

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.

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’. Personal.

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.

McAfee, JnbczGalt, J. O. Dowda, J. M. Kilby, C. D. McClure, Allen Keith ? Wilson Birton In tlie best humor and highest spirits, the meeting then adjourned. Sext Satiirdny. 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 ticipate In tin* festivities of the occasion, j and it is hoped that all of our citizens who I can will “lend the light of their counleu ! ances” to beam on’llie day. 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. A young friend of ours, while on a short excursion in the neighborhood of Walesca, the other day, came near being arrMled as a rewnue spy; but after making a hasty explanation and disclaimer, made a safe I'elnaU tu hia d tmicile, locked himself up, and is at this lime doiug as well as could be expected If you want leather, go to Crislcr’a If you want eggs at your nvrtr price, go to Barton A Kilby’s aud get lots of thum. ■ 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! If you want (to see the clerk that wishes te marry, go tu McAfVe s. OVER THE COUNTY. The health of this c maty is remarkably good. Civ rokce has comparatively little litiga tion. Woodstock promises to be a considerable! village. The Baptist Association held in Pickens was largely attended. The, corn-fields in the Etowah valley look like cine-brakes. The public schools are more flourishing than ever in this county. We still catch plenty of fish anil soft shcllpd turil'S. Good times! 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, conducted by Rev. W. G. Hanson, preacher in charge, gpiug on at Field's chapel. noy at a school near Field’s bridge tol l rJs teacher, the other day, that he could spell “baker,” “all but the k-e-r kcr!" 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 per, andreplete with good reading matter. When money matters become a little easier, we hope to furnish you with quite a num ber of subscribers from this office. S. W. J. The Cherokee Georgian.—We have received the first number of a pap r bear ing the above title, published at Canton, Georgia, bv our esteemed friends, P. H. Brewster and J. J. A. Sharp. It is well 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 attractions of the “hill country.”—Gains viUa Eagle. ty The first number of The Cherokee Georgian, published at Canton by Messrs. Brewster A Sharp, has reached us. It is a well printed and well-arranged sheet, full of local and county news. It promises to lie one of the best weeklies in Use State— just such a jsaper as the people of Cherokee county need, and can well afford to support as an aid in developing the resources of the mountain country.— Atlanta CaMtitution.

We find the public roads in p irts < f tne county in very good condition ; v< ry bnd in others. We recommend that the Ordinary require the Commissioners of roads to have all put in good older and condition as soon ns practicable. 2nd. We find the bridge across Little river, at Graham’s Mill, in a lot tin or de cayed condition, dang- rous tor a loaded wagon to cross upon. We respectfully call the attention of the Ordinary to this fact, 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 Code as to their duty. 3d. We find through our committee the books and public records in good ord r, viz: We find the books of the Ordinary neatly and correctly kept, and further find that the expenditures and disbursements of the county have been as economical as could be under existing circumstances. We also find the Tax Digest made out by the Tax Recriver neat and correct. We find the books of the Clerk of the Superior Court, Sheriff, and County Treasurer all plainly, neatly and correctly kept. We find no money in the County Treasury, but proper vouchers for all moneys paid out. We find an amount due M. A. Keith of $7.50 for 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 ing the present term. To C D. Phillips, the Solicitor General, we tender our thanks for the able manner in which he has prose- i ciited offenders and the polite manner in which he attended this body the present term. In addition to the above recommenda tions we recommend that the Ordinary have bound the several volumes of the decisions of the Supreme Court as a matter of econ omy. Benjamin Hill, Foreman.
