The Cherokee Georgian P. H. BREWSTER, (-p Hitorq J. J. A. SHARP, f Edltors - Canton, O-a,-, WEDNESDAY, - AUGUST 25, 1875. EDITORIAL NOTES. We are gratified to learn that Gen. Wm. T. Wofford has recently united with the Presbyterian church. It is estimated that the crops in Indiana were injured to the amount of $3,000,000 by the recent floods. General Longstreet has purchased prop erty in and near Gainesville, and will make that city his future domicil. An exchange has a column headed “Our Pie Box.” Judging from its mechanical execution, we think an appropriate and forcibly correct name for the paper itself would be “The Paper of Pi.” The Governor has appointed Hon. D. M. Key of Chattanooga to fill she vacancy in the United States Senate occasioned by the death of Andrew Johnson. It is to be hoped that Mr. Key will prove a bright one. Reports from all sections of the Union give encouraging accounts of the crop prospects, and that, notwithstanding the devastation caused by the winds and the floods, this will be noted as a bountiful year. “You are a sharp Brewster, but how can a body keep off a‘body’s toes’ when their feet are so large.”— [Marietta Journal. This fact but proves what is said, “Extremes do frequently meet,” For while friend Neal has the big head, We boast of having the big feet. The sensation regarding the Keely mo tor, which, it was claimed, would eventually supersede the use of steam, seems to be at a standstill. No application has yet been made for a patent, and it is reported that the officers of the Patent office regard the motor as a humbug. Office-holders. How often this class of men forget their obligations to the people. They are put in office by the people, and by the people they are fed. They ought to remember the peo ple are eternal. They may, and will pass away. The people w ill remain forever. All power belongs to the people; sooner or later this class of men will find it out. How often do we see the office-holder swelling with his self-conceived importance. Acting as if he thought the people should pull off their hats and stand awe-struck at the maj esty of his approach. Waxing fat, he kicks at him who feeds him. The hireling above him who has employed him. The servant above the master. It is a lamentable fact, the people have been the plaything of the office-holder for more than two thousand years. This must be reversed or government is a failure. What is the remedy ? Educate the people, teach them to love each other, to live as a band of brothers, act in harmony, be united, act more for public good than for self-interest, be virtuous, be true to your self, be true to your country and your God. Demagogues will then have to hunt climes more congenial—some boundless contiguity of shade, where they may hide from the peo ple they have wronged. A Mural Obligation. The Marietta and North Georgia Railroad is a public enterprise, and ought to be sup ported. This road is being built to develop North Georgia. It would seem, therefore, all North Georgia ought to have an interest in it. It would seem the party at interest are under moral obligation to help in this struggle. Will any man, who has the smallest speck of morality about him, stand still and see his neighbor battling for his country’s good, go down for want of help? Will any man, who has any country pride about hint, stand still and see the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad a failure? go down in a land of freemen, in a land that God has so wonderfully blest ? a land whereon lives our children just budding into manhood and womanhood, and equal in mental and moral worth to any under the heavens. Men are known to the writer who Jive on half rations so that they may be the better able to help in thisgreat work. Heaven and the country will reward such men. The company constructing this road are honorable men, faithful stewards who will fully and freely account to the steak holders for the use of their money ■ but they netxl help now—com, wheat, bacon, any thing that can be worn or eaten. levers of North Georgia, to the rescue ! Friends of the railroad, wake up ! Evidence* of Prosperity. Every community presents to the most casual observer unmistakable indications of its thrift, enterprise, and good taste, or its want of all these essential signs of pros perity. Where the people are doing well, wc see good roads, go<»d dwellings, good barns, good fences, well cultivated crops, fine otchards aud gardens. Besides, we behold in such a community a comfortable and well-arranged school-house or acade my : a neat, well finished church, where the people go up from Sabbath to Sabbath to worship God and to train their children In the tine and tight way. It is pleasant to live in such a neighborhood, for there is safety there for person and property; in such a place, the people are intelligent moral, sociable and religious; they are identified in feeling and interest; they fvei a deep concern lor inc cun.mon good ; the laws of the country are respected and obeyed, anti the laws of God, promulgated in his Holy ami by his lailaiul watch, Uien. are >- . tided with deepest reverence. But, vt* mi other baud, dff.uutii the picture! How different is the commu nity, where the people take no pains to adorn and beautify these homes; where the shade-trees arc cut down, dwellings and barns dilapidated, fences decayed and cov ered with briers, roads neglected, school houses wanting, or little and uncomfortable; churches, if any at all, of the same charac ter, and everything going to show that the people take no interest in those things which render home comfortable, society desirable, and life agreeable. We in this country, with a few excep tions, are all poor, yet we have a healthy climate, and productive lands; nature has blest us with lavish hand, and all that is necessary to make us prosperous and hap py is, industry, enterprise and public spirit. With these we can make our “waste places glad” and our “deserts to rejoice and blos som as the rose.” We can make our little homes comfortable and convenient, our small farms productive and profitable, our schools well conducted and prosperous, our churches neat and comfortable and well arranged, with but a small expenditure of money. People of the mountain country ! let us awake from our slumbers, fall into line and join in the march of improvement. Let us develop and improve our beautiful country, substitute good churches for still houses, neat institutions of learning for groceries, and energy and well-directed la bor for inactivity and indifference. Negro Insurrection Suppressed. For some time past the people of Middle Georgia have been excited about the move ments of certain unprincipled negroes, who have been organizing military companies in the “black belt,” and fears were enter tained that an outbreak would occur; but nothing definite was ascertained until the 18th instant, when a letter was intercepted from a negro leader to the commander of a negro company, ordering him to begin a massacre of the whites. Upon this discov ery, the people of Washington and adjoin ing counties, where the diabolical plot was to be carried out, became greatly alarmed ; the military were called out, and the ring leaders speedily arrested, thus frustrating a conspiracy which would probably have resulted in a horrible massacre. Over eighty of the conspirators have been arrested, and are in jail guarded by a strong military force. As Judge Johnson has ordered a spcci al session of the court to try the pris oners, it is probable that the guilty parties w'ill have a long rope and a short shnft. if- NEWS SUMMARY. OVER THE STATE. The crops in northeast Georgia will make an average yield. Camilla received two bales ot new cot ton one day last week. The rust is said to be seriously injuring the cotton crop on light loamy soil, in some localities. 1? iffy-eight persons have joined the church in Talbotton since the recent revi val began. The Middle Georgia fair will be held in Griffin, commencing on the 12th of Octo ber, and continue four days. Carrollton has a citizen fifty-five years old who never shot a gun nor pistol, or rode on horseback but once in his life. A whole family attending a camp-meet ing in Murray county were poisoned last week, it is supposed, by a negro who had been whipped for misconduct. A heavy fire occurred in Columbus on the 15th instant, the shoe store of Bedell & Ware being destroyed, with its contents. Loss, $i3,000; insurance, SIO,OOO. Mr. A. J. Nich Is of Clarksville has owned Tallulah Falls, as well as a great deal of other property, for years, and now considers the falls prooerty the most valu able of all his possessions. The greatest revival of religion witness ed in Fort Valley since the war has been going on in the Methodist church there for the last two weeks. Twenty-six have joined, and many more are expected to do likewise. The county in Cherokee Georgia and Alabama that can undoubtedly present the most farmers who have bought no farm products this year, and will produce certifi cates to that effect, will be presented with a flag at the Rome fair in October. McDuffie county claims a man who has made good cro|)B since 1811, and has own ed and fanned the place since 1813. He has made sixty-four crops, sixty-two of which were on the same plantation, and the land is in better condition to-day than in 1813. He has never bought any com, flour or bacon, and never was in debt. ELSEWHERE. The shipment of peaches from Mississip pi this season is estimated at 300,000 boxes. The Postmaster of Vicksburg has been sued for three cents over-charge on a letter. The waters of the Mississippi are sub siding. and all danger of a damaging over flow has passed. In Hinds county, Mississippi, 1,000 mort gages have l>een recorded this year—the result of Radical rule. Among the mourners at the funeral of widow' Alonzo Beers of Brookfield, Conn., 78 years old. was her mother, 98 years old. A colored woman in Washington has sued the Pullman Palace-ear company for SIO,OOO, for refusing to allow her to rile in a Pullman car from Cincinnati to Washing ton. A gentleman in Randolph county, Ain., at the beginning of the year, offered to give one-tenth of his crop to the Lord,and the Appeal says he now has the best crop in the county. We hope to hear, at gil Bering time, that this planter has l»cen faithfully fulfilling his promise. A new invention for preventing railway accidents, by an improved system ofsignal ng, has been exhibited in London. It enn rists of an insulated rail laid beneath the fore fool way, by means of which station masters can telegraph to a train while in motion, or one train can communicate with another. W. T. Hatch, of Minneapolis, Minn , lias now on his h-ioks the names of over 3,000 IMTsons. scattered over twenty Stales. Cana da and many in Europe, who apply for doc umrn's relative to the S»utheiu States, and this list is increasing from fifty to a hundred a day. At the rate that names arc coming in, lie expects soon to have a li«t of 10,000 anxious to change their location to a milder u lituate. Acworth News. Correspondence of the Georgian. Business in Acworth is rather dull at present, but the prospects are that wc will do our usual share of business this fall. Our clever young friend C. M. Horch is going to start to New York soon, for a heavy stock of dry goods for the fail trade. He says he will give notice to his numerous Cherokee customers of their arrival through an advertisement in your paper. The firm of Phillips, Perkinson & Co., has dissolved, and the business is now car ried on by M. M. & C. C. Phillips, who are too well known in Cherokee as clever and reliable merchants to need any introduction A lodge of Knights of Honor has been organized in i ur town, with twelve or fif teen charter members. Dr. C. C. Andrews was elected Dictator. I understand its ob ject is in the nature of a life insurance com pany. We have one of the best hotels in North Georgia, which is at present crowded with visitors from Florida and lower Georgia. This fact, of itself, is sufficient recommenda tion. Acworth High school is now in a flourish ing condition. It is conducted by Professor Holmes, a gentleman who possesses all the qualifications requisite for a successful teacher. For good morals, Acworth is certainly ahead of other railroad towns. By an act of the last Legislature, the sale of ardent spirits is prohibited within two miles ot the High school; and there are three large brick churches here, which are well at tended. If you have any clever good-looking men in Canton (which 1 do not doubt), they would do well to call and see some ot our young ladies, who are ever ready to see such gentlemen. Such young men arc very scarce in our town ; at least, the girls tells me so. Marion’s sweetheart, I learn, is soon to be married. There is nothing like being lucky with some people. You may expect our town to patronize your paper, as we are connected with Cherokee county materially, and arc soli citous for its future prosperity. I will keep you posted with reg ird to lo cal events, as I shall always be on the Lookout. T3Z, <T- O’SHIELDS, HOUSE, SION AND ORNAMENTAL Painter, FRESCO AND SCENIC ARTIST, Canton, .... Georgia.
