The Cherokee Georgian Canton, G-a. WEDNESDAY, - - AUGUST 18, 1875. MAIL TIME-TABLE. The mail leaves Canton for Marietta on Monday and Friday of each week, at 8 a. In. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays and Sat urdays, at 4 p. m. Canton line to Dawsonville loaves every Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re turns Thursday, 4 p. m. Died. Mrs. M. A. Hudson, consort of E. C. Hudson, departed this life on Friday Au gust 6, 1875, aged 22 years 5 months and 21 days. _ Nos. 6 and 7. We heard of a man the other day who took a drink of No. 6 to “cool off’’ on. It took his breath for awhile, and when he recovered his speech, he exclaimed, “Ugh ! if it had been No. 7 it would have killed Thanks. The Georgian office has been highly complimented, during the past week, in receiving from fair friends splendid pres ents of fruit. May the lives of the don< rs he ns sweet as their fruit, and as unruffled as were our tempers when enjoying the treat. 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. Railroad Schedules. WESTERN & ATLANTIC R. R.
