Thanks.

complimented, during the past week, in
receiving from fair friends splendid pres
ents of fruit. May the lives of the don< rs

Wanted.
A young lady friend of ours in town, re
qnesta un to say that the demand for young
men in th isptaeo teg renter than the supply,
and wishes us to invite a few specimens from
other parts. Come along, young men, and
be received with fair arms and loving
hearts.
Bullock’s Farm Sold.
We learn from the Calhoun 77/ne*, that
E. H Payne, Esq., of Louisville, has pur
chased Bullock’s farm for $11,700, with the
intention of becoming a citizen of Cobb
county. We say again, for the nine hun
dredth and ninety-ninth tihm, more or less,
that Bullock’s farm and barn, ton, are in
Chetokee, and not in Cobh county. We
care nothing about it, only we want facts
stated. We had just as lief that Bullock
and hh barn too (built by money stolen from
♦he people) were in Halifax as any
so far as we are concerned.
Road Working.
Everybody was put to working the roads
•round town yesterday morning. Our
mayor and aidermen were not excepted I
Shovels and picks were in demand, and
there was a premium offered by our y >nng
men of tender hands for substitutes. Some
who could not employ substitutes were
noxiously inquiring for gimlets and angers
as working tools. That did iwtaugur well!
Others were trying to be appointed trusties,
—-but they could not be trusted In fine,
everyone, no matter how fine, had io work
or pay* a flue ; and we hope all hands had
a fine time working the roads!
Warned.
On yesterday morning, with solemn look
’ and in a very authoritative manner, a per
son appointed to warn hands to work the
road, entered o ir office, placed his hand on
th* shoulder of one of our printers,made him
think he was about, to he arrested, and or
dered him and his fellow laborer to meet
him at tire t< rry for the purpose of wo-king
the road Now, it is right for every one to
work the road and be respectfully warned
Io do so, but it seems Lt us that there is no
necessity to be so rigid a’ out enforcing a
plain dny, and we also think that the
hands in our office might be excuse ! until
wc get our enterprise fully under way.
An Important Matter.
On the second Saturday of next, month
the Teachers’ Association will discuss the
question: “In what consist the chief merits
of text-books?" This discussion is pnliini
nary to the adoption of a series of text
books for the county, which will be done
on the M’cond Saturday in October. These
are very important meetings, and the coun
ty board of education, and all the teachers
In the county especially, and all others who
feel an interest in the education of our
youth, are earnestly solicited to lie present.
All the best educators in the county will
participate in the discussion, and the text
books now extant will be most thoroughly
criticised. Come out, everybody.
Another Father in Israel Gone !
Died on the 10th inst, al this place.
Aquila Shockley, at the advanced age of
ninety-five years, having been b >ru in Pen
die ton District, 8. C., on the Sth day of No
vember 1780. He wis twice married, first
to Elizabeth Tabor, by whom he had four
children, and to Millerson King, by whom
he had thirteen. His offspring all lived to
ba grown, and to become professors of re
ligion and members of th< M. E. Church.
Father Shockley embrace! religion and
joined the M. E Church at Cold-Water
Camp-ground, in Elbert county in 1308, and
lived a faithful and devoted member of the
•ante until the day of his death, embracing a
period of nearly seventy years. His last
wife, then but a little girl, united with the
church at the same time and place. He
removed to Franklin county, Georgia, in
1807, and was a chutea ot the State during
the remainder ot his long lite. Father
Shockley was an honest man, a consistent
Christian, a kind neighbor, and an affec
tionate and indulgent huslmnd and father.
Worn down by age, the powers of life
gradually tailed him. and he fell asleep, at
peace with God and all tntnkind, “as
fadre a summer cloud away.” His aged
wife, the partner of his joys and sorrows for
aixiy-five years, still lingers on the shores of
i itne, and ebmrtully awaits the hour when
•he shall be called u» meet her sainted bus- ’
band and friends who han-sr me before into ,
the heventy Canaan.
NO GROG-SHOP IN CANTON.
No grog-shop in Canton! go tell it afar;
’Tis news that will gladden wherever it
goes;
For the wormwood that crossed its dingy
old bar
No longer produces insanity and woes.
No grog-shop in Canton ! how glorious the
theme!
’Twill give joy and gladness to many a
heart;
’Twill dry up the tear of some matronly
queen,
And restore to her side her lost other
part
No grog-shop in Canton! How bright was
the day
When the monstrous iniquity tumbled
and fell!
Light pierced the darkness —the sweet
break of day—
And spoke as the watchman aloud, “All
is well!”
No grog-shop in Canton! ’Tis recorded in
heaven,
And brightly shining does the record ap
pear.
No drunkard pollutes her sidewalks at
even.
No foul, horrid curses fall on the ear.
No grog-shop in Canton! Oh, glorious
surprise!
It plays on the lips of the girls and the
boys,
Sparkles in sapphire from their bright
beaming eyes.
That augurs, in fullness, unspeakable
joys.
No grog-shop in Canton I Go, sound it
•broad!
Though but a speck on the map where
it fell,
Faith may increase that speck of a cloud,
Whose waters the ocean may swell.
The Picnic.
Saturday morning opened unfavorably
for the Good Templars’ picnic at Cherokee
Mills. The lowering skies portended rain,
and water, though a Templar’s beverage, is
likely to dampen one's enthusiasm, and
spoil one’s enjoyment, when precipitated
upon an unsheltered head. A goodly num
ber, however, gathered from various parts
of the county, unmindful of tire threatening
weather. Canton was well represented, the
brass band turning out in full force,making
good music, and many of our people who
were not otherwise engaged participated in
the festivities of the day. Col. Hie kman and
Grand Secretary Robinson had been adver
tised to speak on the occasion, but from
various causes it had become the settled
belief that those gentlein-n would not be
present. Everybody was agreeably sur
prised, therefore, when they in ide, their ap
pearance on the ground. Mr. Robinson
opened the festivities in a fifteen minutes
speech, and was followed by Col. Hickman
in a few appropriate and happy remarks.
The crowd then adjourned for dinner and
social enjoyment. When all appetites had
been appeased by partaking of the viands
which were produced in abundance, the
crowd, a short time afterwards assembled
in the church near by and listened to a
characteristic address fro u Cot Htckmtn,
which it Is unnecessary to state was most
able and interesting. About four o’clock
the assemblage dispersed, fully satisfied
with the enjoyment that the day had af
forded. The Canton party on the route
home, was halted by Mr. James Sutton and
treated to watermelons, and the band re
turned the compliment by playing some of
their choicest airs. Thus ended a day
which all will remember with pie durable
emotions, for the amusement and edifica
lion afforded.
Personal.
The beautiful Misses Danhd of Atlanta
are visiting their relatives in Canton.
That paragon of good women, Mrs. An
geline Caln, left for Cumming on Sunday.
Colonel W. A. Teasly an I Colonel J ime<
Brown are attending Millon Superior court
this week.
Colonel Keith, proprietor of the popular
Air-line hotel in Atlanta, has been spending
a couple of weeks with his Cherokee
friends.
Canton bore off the palm for beauty, at
the picnic last Saturday, in the person of
Miss Fannie D., who was justly admired
by all beholders.
The sweet voice and gladsome laugh of
Mrs. Israel Putnam are much missed at the
hotel. She has returned, with all her sun
shine, to Atlanta.
Dr. Payne of Trlckum was In town on
Friday. If all our people entertained and
practiced the Doctor’* notions, this section
would become a power in the land.
Wc omitted, inadvertently, to mention,
Inst week, that Professor James U. Vincent
of this place, and Mr. Hammett of Mari
etta, after being thoroughly extun. ned,
were admitted to the bar during the late
session of court. We are not acquainted
with Mr. Hammett, but knowing the varied
accomplishments of Professor Vincent, we
predict for him a place in the front rank of
his profession.
Ijwt Sabbath
Was a wet day. It rained gently and
almost without intermission ahn<ist all the
day long, seriously interfering with the ar
rangements of church-going people, especi
ally with such as had tine clothes which
■ they wished to exhibit, but gratifying to
many tanners over the country, who were
in need of a general season. While in some
parts of the county we have bad plenty of
rain all summer, there are other sections
where the crops have been seriously injured
by drouth. The rains have been remarkably
partial. In some instances wc have known
one farm to receive a good rain while an
adjoining one received scarcely any at ail
The consequence is, crop® are spotted, and
the average yield will be only tolerable. In
view of the situation, tanners should sow
I largely of turnips, and save as much forage
j as possible to keep their stock through the
‘ winter.
TOWN TALK.
These cool nights are inducing summer
visitors to return to their homes.
If everybody would do as well as he
knows now the world would be much bet
ter.
The hands at work on the Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad are in sight of
town.
If you have lands or mill-seats for sale
in this county, advertise them in The
Georgian. I
A drunk friend of ours said the other day
he did not like that (Hie) man who wants to
take away his liberties !
Many of our young people went to the
picnic at Cherokee mills, and now the boys
are saying : “O. what pretty girls!”
The County School Commissioner set
out on Ills visitation tour on Monday. We
hope he may find the public schools doing
efficient work.
The Good Templars’ lodge was again
honored and entertained by Dr. Hickman
on Saturday night. What a big brain and
heart he possesses !
Would it not add much to the appear
ance of Canton to have all the streets and
alleys put in good order? Strangers, pros
pecting, notice little things.
The Georgian is very popular with the
women and children of the county. Well,
that’s sufficient. If we can please the fair
sex and the children, we are all right.
Question for a debating society: “Are
sewing machines an advantage to the coun
try?’’ And another: “Would it be expe
dient to make education compulsory ?”
The camp-meeting near this place will
commence next Friday evening. The
quarterly conference for the circuit will be
held on the Monday following, at the same
place.
Nathan Brooke, near this place, has sev
eral acres iri Sugar cane. Hit’crop of cane
did well last year, and satisfied him that it
can be madij profitable in this latitude
more so than cotton.
A man told us once that he had joined
the Sons of Temperance years before, with
the understanding that he would never
drink any intoxicating liquor except when
he was sick, and that he had been in bad
health ever since.
Dr. Turk has cleared off the woodland
below his residence, and divided it into
town lots. He has many beautiful dwell
ing lots, which will be both valuable and
desirable, if the depot be located near them,
as is now expected.
I The colored Baptists in Hus region began
| their assoclational meeting at Hickory Log
' church, just across the river from town,
. last Thursday. The attendance has been
large, and we hope that good has been
accomplished by the meetings.
A young friend of ours is broken on < with
“heat’’—it itches, but it is not of the chronic
kind, which is known and distinguished as
the seven year variety. He has been rec
ommended to use sulphur, but says that it
he had a disease called brimstone, that he
would be willing to take—the—any thing
to cure it.
There seems to be a mania for marble
playing all over the country. At every
cross-road, at almost every street-corner, we
hear such exclamations as the following:
“Kicks!" “Vence’’’ "Roundance!’ “Shoot!"
‘‘l’m dead!" “Fut!” etc Such amusements for
able-bodied men and boys to be engaged in.
looks like a foolish waste of time, when so
many hands arc needed in the chain-gang.
We think w’e have two of the best printers
north of Atlanta. Our type is old and con
siderably worn, and yet we think The
Georgi an will com pare, .favorably in ap
pearance, with arfyof our contemporaries.
Our present supply of paper, however, is
rather thin,and we intend to have abetter
article when we buy again. Pay up your
subscriptions, and enable us to buy new’
type and better pa|»er.
The Canton Brass Band went to the pic
nic on Saturday, paving their own ex
pt uses, and played the best they were able
to do, with the limited practice they have
had, and all without recompense. It seems
ungenerous, to say the least, that anyone
should make deprecatory remarks about
the band, in view of the circumstances,
and we have heard that such has been
done. The band does not claim to equal
Dodsworih's, but we think it makes a cred
itable showing for the experience the mem
bers have had.
The Teachers’ Association
Held a very interesting meeting last Sat
urday. The oration of Mr B. F. Payne
and the lecture of Mr. Ledbetter were, on
motion, deferred till next meeting. The
general discussion of the question, “What
» the beat method of teaching orthogra
phy*’’ was participated in by Rev. Mr.
Tuggle, Professor Attaway, Professor Vin
cent, Mr. Payne, Mr. Taylor, and Judge
Dowda, with zest and power. The oral and
written methods were thoroughly consid
ered, and, though there seemed a wide dif
ference of opinion at the outset of the dis
cussion, we think the conclusion to which
the discussion reached is very nearly em
bodied in the stanza:
“Word-sounds are fashioned for the ear;
To speak well, one needs but to hear;
Word-forma are fashioned for the sight.
And he who well would sjx-11 must write
The whole word out in black and white.”
Colonel E. E. Field Las some of the
fiuest corn we have seen this season. His
, cotton is not quite as good as it was last
! year, but then it is all his own—none of it
( will go for guano. The Colonel thinks it
1 is bad policy to use guano at present prices,
! and he is one of the few who practice what
they preach. If all our farmers would fol
: low his example, they might not make
quite so much cotton, but they would make
more monev.
OVER THE COUNTY.
There was abundant rain throughout
the county last Sunday.
The Etowah river has not been clear
during lhe present year.
| “Prof." O. H. Brewster and lady have a
fine school at Field’s chapel.
The peach crop in the county is fine.
Let lhe fruit be cut and dried.
This is the month in which to clean out
your fence corners and cut bners.
• Our friend Wiley, on Governor Brown’s
farm, has a fine crop of corn and cotton.
A great many chickens have died in the
county recently. Caine: protracted meet
ings.
| Our friend Abercrombie says his red cot
ton blooms are all falling off! Will won-
I ders never cease ?
Our friend J. R McKinney has plenty of
fine watermelons. Rube puts his mind on
raising that luxury.
We have gathered a “turn” of new corn
for bread. The middle of August is early
for new bread, isn’t it ?
Moses Cantrell and J W. McCullom
have each about five acres in sorghum. A
good crop for the children.
Some portions of the county were visited
by fine rains List Thursday evening. Crops
are good, so far as our observation extends.
The freedmen of this county all seem to
be quiet, peaceable and well disposed, since
their “foil” friends have ceased to harangue
them.
We regret to learn that Mr. Ralph Kin
nett, who lives near Lovinggood’s bridge,
has two children afflicted with diptheria in
a malignant form.
The recent rains have been fine on tur
nips. Our people should sow largely of
that important vegetable. Any time in
August will do to sow.
Four persons were to be baptised by im
mersion in Sweetwater creek, on last Sun
day morning, by the Rev. H. G Hanson, but
were prevented by the rain.
We learn that Col. E E. Field and Capt.
Caldwell McKinny intend putting up a
stock of goods soon, at Field’s Bridge. We
wish them abundant success.
Mrs. W. R. Coulter and children, of
Florida, are on a visit to their relatives in
this county. Our pure air and water are
rapidly improving their health.
Mr. Sylvester, who lived on Bullock’s farm
in this county, was kilted last week near
Marietta, by being run over by a train. It
is said that he was in a state of intoxica
tion.
Aaron Hawkins, a colored brother of
this county, has some legislative aspira
tions, or hankering. You are too late,
Aaron. You will have to go west, if you
ever get to be a statesman!
Farmers should “put up” their fattening
hoga in September, if they wish them to/lo
wetL They will fatten much faster in
warm than in cold weather. Feed them
on roasting ears, stalk and all, and you will
find that there is economy in the plan.
Joe Brewster, a brother to Levi Gresham,
the freedman mentioned last week, is also
a prosperous and honest farmer. He was
our foreman in slavery times, and has never
left us. He made his “mule and forty
acres," long ago, by fair dealing and hon
est licks.
The late protracted meeting at Field’s
chapel wsis one ot the best ever held at
that place. Great interest was manifested
on the occasion, and much good was done.
The Rev. Mr. Hanson, preacher in charge
on this circuit, is a zealous, good man, and
a fine preacher.
A man named Davis wfs wounded last
Friday, near Trickum, by a scythe blade in
the hands of Sprouse, h.s brother-in-law.
The wound was in the neck, and was sup
posed to be mortal. Davis was drunk, it is
said, and was threatening to kill Sprouse,
when the latter dealt the blow. Since the
above was written, we have learned that
Davis will probably recover.
Malesca Notes.
Camp-meeting at Walesca commences
on Thursday night before the third Sunday
in September.
*
We noticed a beautiful rainbow in the
clouds on Sunday evening. This mark of
Goff’s promise in the clouds alwaj’s inspires
us with new confidence in the Great King.
It is a seal of his will that no reasonable
mind can doubt
t From every point of the compass, we
hear of copious rains. Our corn is grow
ing very fast, and, if nothing happens, we
will need none of that sack corn which
General Colquitt and Colonel Smith talked
so much about; and our notion is, that we
will have meat to eat with our bread.
While a Mr. Moss was crossing the creek
near here, a day or two ago, with his
wagon, his horse fell down and came very
near being drowned. It seemed to us that
it would take pretty deep water to drown
that animal. He is over eighteen hands
high, the hugest horse we have seen in
many a day.
To the people along the line of the Ma
rietta and North Georgia railroad we would
say, now is the time to secure to yourselves
a railroad. You have a better prospect
now than ever before; take hold of it! If
you will do your duty—if each one will
help a little—the road can be built. Don't
mistake, and think that it is of no benefit
to you, because it does not pass your door.
If you live in North Georgia, you might
afford to pay a little to benefit your county.
This is an enterprise that should meet the
hearty support of lhe people of this whole
country. Help build the road, and by so
doing you build up your county, add worth
to your farms, build up your churches, and |
strengthen your schools. Then why delay? j
why refuse to give a few dollars that might j
yield a hundred, yea a thousand per cent.
Come, then, to the rescue; unloose your
purse strings and build the road.
We left Canton, the other evening, for
Cumming, in company with Hon. E. C.
McAfee, where we arrived in due time,
ifter a pleasant ride of a few hours. In
leaving town we noticed quite a number of
houses going up on Gainesville street, and
some very pretty sites. We would insist
that you spare those little oaks ; trim them
up, let them grow, and in a few years they
will not only decorate but will be a com
fort to your homes. We have often seen
men in building cut away the last bush,
seeming to think it essential to health,
which is a great mistake. A few miles up
the road we came to W. N. Wilson’s. Mr.
Wilson h .s lately built a new store house,
and seems to be doing a right good busi
ness. Soon we arrived at Orange, where
we met our clever and energetic friend,
Captain Maddox, who, as usual, seemed to
be full of business. He is building a fine
and spacious dwelling, and will soon have
it completed. Mr. S. W. Johnson, a model
young man, has a good school at this
place. Quite a lively time occurred on
Friday evening, when there was an exhibi
tion in which the school took an active
part, and displayed that talent and cultiva
tion so necessary to make men.
Sudden Death of a Clergyman.
A week ago last Saturdav, Rev. W. W.
Worley, residing at the head of the Nemaha,
some eight or ten miles south of this city,
in company with W. S. Matthews, Esq.,
visited Elder Meredith, five miles east of
Marysville, for the purpose of spending the
Sabbath and preaching the funeral sermon
of a daughter of Mr. Meredith. He had
been more or less unwell for several
months, being afflicted with dropsy, and
had been giving directions concerning his
affairs in case of his disease. On his way to
Marysville he was unusually cheerful. In
the evening he addressed a few friends as
sembled, and on the Sabbath filled his ap
pointment Monday morning he ate a
hearty breakfist, and while in the act of
turning round in his chair, fell upon the
floor. Mr. Matthews immediately sprang
to his side, turned him over, and without a
struggle or a groan, he faintly gasped twice
and was gone! While seated at the table
waiting for others, he remarked that “when
he died he expected to go suddenly, and
contrary to former feelings death had no
terrors to him now.” Truly, his premoni
tion speedily became a reality! His re
mains were brought hone on Monday
evening by Mr. Matthews, and on Tuesday,
under the auspices of the Grange of which
the deceased was a Master, were consigned
to their last resting place in the family
burying ground. Rev. W T. Pence, pastor
of a Baptist church near Topeka, who was
sent for by the family, did not arrive in time
for lhe burial, but preached an appropriate
funeral discourse on Wednesday.
Mr. W. was 63 years of age, and has been
a minister in the old school Baptist denom
ination for some thirty years. Was formerly
a resident of the State of Georgia, and for
eight terms, was a Representative in ber
legielature, and also served one term as
Senator. He came to this county some six
yars ago, and soon organized the New Har
mony Baptist Church, and was its parstor
at the time of his death. As such, and as a
citizen he was highly esteemed, and his
loss will be deeply felt by all who knew
him. He leaves a wife and several children
to mourn his departure. May they receive
comfort from the consolations of the gospel
which the departed so faithfully and kindly
preached to others. —{Exchange.
