Here is a good chance tor Canton belles.
In response to the request of a young lady
for a greater supply of young men in town
to meet the wants of the fair sex, which
we published recently, the Calhoun Timex
makes the following kind offer : “Give us
explicit directions, and we can tag and ship
you froth'our town a surplus sufficient to
fill one or two box cars.”

In charge of Mr K. B. Fulton, and his sons
AV. F. and, A. M. Fu'ton, J >hn Black, and
J. T. Bryant, of Pickens comity, who were
under arrest tor alleged violation of the
internal revenue laws, with reference to
distilling spirits. The elder Mr. Fulton,
who is a Baptist preacher declared that he
never had anything to do with the manu
facture or sale ol liquor in his life, and
never saw a still until alter his arrest. lie
sxys tljat great injury has been done the
people of his county l»y the wholesale ar
rests which have lately been made by the
revenue olllcers, who appear to proceed
upon the remotest grounds of suspicion
We think that, if the distillation of spirits
is to be tolerated, and internal revenue is
to be collected, that the law should lie
rigidly enforced, and offenders punished, as
* matter of justice to those who conform
to its provisions; but greater caution should
be used in making arrests, that innocent
men mtf not be sijyccted to the annoy
ance and expense attendant upon prosecu
tions before the courts, which has become
so common an occurrence.
Dead-1 lead a.
It Isa pity that any community should
be inhsled with a class of human beings
no appropriately entitled to this name. Men
who have lost all the Impulses that should
characterize men ; who have so completely
dried up every manly aspiration that they
are absolutely in the way of the world’s
progress. This class of men is seen iu every
department of life. In the Church, they' are
the stumbling blocks ; in the Sabbath
school, the drones; ami in society, busy
bodies tn other men's matters. O Dead
heads, have you no one to care for? no
mother whose declining years might be
made light by your help ? no sister whose
idol you might have been? no country that
needs your help? O Dead-heads! think
who you are. and what you arc, and what
you might have been, Let one drop of!
b-Miest sweat tall from your face before you ‘

drops from his shaggy mane, so shake sleep,

How to Build Up ii Town.
ESTABLISH AND SUPPiHiT GOOD SCHOOLS.
Every one has some conception of the j
advantages of education ; all admit that
ignorance is to be deplored as an evil, inju
rious to the best interests of society and
the worst enemy of true progress ; and yet
people poss°ssing these notions will fre
' Stultify themselves by withholding
their simply because
of some petty pr(jii<lice~WT* J^2i l ’ n ’ or
of some personal sacrifice they arc askr+k .
to make. Such people, do more harm to
the cause they ostensibly favor th in an
active opposer, for they dampen the ardor
and cripple the energies of earnest support
ers. To this class we address our re
marks
In successfully starting a town upon the
; road to an enduring prosperity, two f »rces
> must be combined —the moral and the edu-
> cational. Without the one. life and prop
erty and happiness are insecure; without
the other, taste and refinement and true
progress are unattainable Good church
edifices and school-houses are an index of
the union of these two forces, and of the
moral and intellectual development of a
community. This being true, local pride
’ should prompt every one to favor, and con
tribute to the erection of, neat and com
fortably - arranged churches and school
buildings, when they do not exist.
Education is the most powerful auxiliary
! of the churches, supplying the pulpit, enli
vening the Sunday-school, and furnishing
most of the liberal spirit which animates
the various denominations. A due regard
for the interests of religion should therefore
prompt every one to assist in establishing
and supporting good schools.
■ The first iuq iiry of a stranger casting
about for a new home is as to the moral
- and educational advantages of the place.
: If he finds flourishing churches and schools,
1 he is likely to become a citizen ; if not, he
* goes elsewhere Self-interest should tlierc
’ fore prompt every one to advocate the
> establishment of good schools, and rein-
■ force his advocacy by material support.
' The influence of a flourishing school, lib
orally supported by a community, pene
-1 (rates into every walk of life. It stimulates
the mind to an activity which would other
-1 wise be unknown ; it develops enterprise,
which creates the various industries; it
cultivates taste, which is shown in the
tasteful adornment of the person, in the
neatness ot the dwellings, and the beauty
of the grounds around them ; it refines so
ciety, by polishing the manners oi its mem
bers, and making social intercourse more
desirable and agreeable. All these advan
tages accrue from the establishment and
maintenance of good schools. Are they
not worth striving for? and is it not to the
interest of every man, is it not his bounden
duty, to do all in his power, both by word
and deed, to sectire them ? People may
exist without them, but they degenerate
into human vegetables; industries maybe
begun, but they will finally languish and
• lie. E location is Ihe only instrumentality
bv which permanent improvement can be
effected in any human pursuit or acqui
sition.
Patronize Il »me Interests.
People readily agree that home e iter
priscs should be patroniz' d and encouraged,
and they wax warm upon the subject, pnr
ticulaly when they are engagedinthose
enterprises; but somehow, when their in
terests arc not directly involved, they arc
prone to go abroad when they have money,
anti trade at hone when they have not,
and can gi t credit. To such we would
commend thy following reasons for 'pend
ing their, money at home, which are fur
nished by an exchange:
1. It Ts your home; you can not benefit
it much by tarring money away to spend
or hinvest.
2. Tie re is no way of improving a place
letter than to Encourage good merchants,'
good manufactories, good mechanics, nnd
good schools, which will inevitably attract
good people to your town. Therefore spend
your money at home.
3. Spend your money at home, because
you generally earn it there; it is your duty.
4. When you need credit, your town
merchants have to furnish it, and wait for
their money ; therefore, when you have the
cadi in hand, spend it at home.
5. Spend your money at home. It will ,
make better merchants, enabling them to
keep larger and finer assortments, and sell
nt lower rates than when compelled to do'
a general ctedif. business, while the cash
flows to the cities.
6 Spend your money at home. You
may have sons growing up who will some*
I day be mechanics or tradesmen; help lay 1
the foundation now for their future pros
perity.
7. Spend your money at home. What
do you gain by going off ? Count the cost,
and see what enterprises you could have
aided, what improvements encouraged,
what prosperity induced, by spending your
money at home.
Give Boys Pluck.
Don’t toll boys the world will be just to
t hcm—that life will b” smooth. It is not.
true. All history, and every living man’s
life, teaches that, the world is very unjust,
often the most cruel to its last men.
Tell boys that lift 's pathway to active, j
enterprising, spirited men—to such as faith
folly serve themselves and their’s—is rough
' and thorny, and the biggest thorns In it are
11roachenms scheming men.
Tell them life is a hard struggle. a battle,
and he who shrinks from the field is a
coward ; while he who stands to the colors
of duty, in spite of threats, obloquy, and de- ■
uunciation, is a hero and will win; for the
gods favor the braver
Tell boys the troth. Teach them to he
I brave—to love to do right, and fear not; and
| then they will be prepared for life's disap- t
’ puinUmuls and battles.

If the frequent demand for horses and

There is an opening in Canton for a tin
ner and a harness-maker to set up shop. A
good start in a thriving town is a great ad
vantage.
Several of our citizens, reported to the
commissioners for failing to perform road

to appear before the board next Saturdav,

The Canton Brass Band accepted an in
vitation from the Marietta band to attend
their annual promenade concert, which
came off last Monday night. The members
turned out in full force, and no doubt had
a right jol y time.
We noticed four bags of fine cotton in
front of McAtee’s store last week. It was
the property of Colonel James R Brown.
We did not inquire whether it was old or
new cotton, for we were already satisfied
in our own mind upon the sulyect.
The Hudson ,wagop is tfip product of
Southern skill and enterprise. It is equal
to the best manufactured at the North, and
can lie bought for less money. Air. J. Al
McAfee will have sixty of these wagons in
Canton shortly, and he will sell them on
very reasonable terms.
The pure air of Canton ought to be kept
free from contaminating influences The
effluvia emitted from - several dcad'animals
d< p' sited in the gulleys and fields in the
suburbs is very offensive to the senses, and
detrimental to health. The authorities
should abate the nuisance.
The perpetrator of the pun in last week’s
paper still lives! We suppose he meant
that the young lawyer is studying “How
I’ll make a fee” (Howell, McAfee). We
did not see the point ourself, at first; but
we think we ttyinow', “If-the court ;uudc2-
stands herself, which she thinks she do.”
The Dilbeck triplets were in town on
Friday, accompanied by their mother.
These children are truly natural curiosities.
They are all girls, born in March, 1872, and
ft- fat as dumplings, and lively as crickets.
One of them weighs thirty-four pounds;
the other two, thirty-five and a half pounds
each.
Grand Festival.
Citizens of Cherokee county! Remember
the meeting on the 15th of September, at
Canton. The call was made by a public
meeting of our citizens during court-week.
Our old friends, who had moved away
from the county, were invited.
All the friends of our railroad were in
vited.
The edi'ors of G< orgia were invited.
The General AMscnrbl'y Were iuvftctfe K /p
-Governor Smith, Colonel Hardeman,
General Colquitt, Colonel Hulbert, and
Dr. Felton, were invited, and have consent
ed to address the meeting.
Fellow-citizens, the interest and reputa
tion of our good old county are at stake.
We hope all will take an interest. Let
every family bring something good to eat,
and bring all and every member of every
family. Let every member of the com
mittee go to work, fix up, and prepare.
Above all, we want the ladies to
bring good wifli’fkern. ’ Ouf invita
tion has been accepted, and we must meet
public expectations.

One Dram.
One dram ; jnst one. Here lies the dan
ger. Here is the tieginning of ruin. One
I dram is so small; but remember that sands
‘ make the mountain and drops make
ocean. It is interest that eats up the farm,
and a small leak will sink a great ship. It
is the oiitf dram ss4
whets up the appJMTe’Wr anoAer: ‘ ’iff* we
j can not stand without taking one dram,
' much less can we stand after we have taken
that. Here the death-march begins. Here
begins the road to poverty, beggary, and
waut. Here we have invoked a strange
fire that will burn up all our substance.
Here we have contracted a leprosy that
nothing but total abstinence can heal.
’ Here are the blight and mildew, and noth-
I ing but pure sparkling water can wash the ,
' stain away. Beware of the first dram, aud
you are safe. Heed not the lesson, ami
you may be ruined. One dram is a step
downward. Advance, aud it is more pre-
I cipitous and dangerous. Here self-control
will forsake'you, ams you wul be led by a
demon that knows bo relenting; under
whose scorpion sting conscience will thun
, der, and remorse goad, and you drift like a
vessel on some fire-flood, rudderless and
: belniless, the sport of every passing breeze,
until you are swallowed up by the flamts
that burn within : and, at last, the stifling
' cry will be; “One dram ' thou didst it.” r

The Rev. Al. Puckett preached at Field’s
Chapel on last Sunday night.
Tlje county seems to be pretty well

Young Brauley, whose suicide was no

the first “turn” of new corn to his mills.
We occasionally see a wagon load of
peaches on the way to the still-house. Well,
the lawyers must have something to do, and
that’s the way to make business for the
courts.
The peach crop is very large this season,
and the farmers are taking advantage of it
by drying the fruit. Owing to its abun
dance, much of the fruit will probably be
converted into brandy.
Cotton picking will be on hand in about
two weeks. # lt is best to pick it as fast as
it opens, to gin it as fast as it is picked, and
to sell it as last as it is ginned. “A quick
penny is better than a slow pound.”
The camp-meeting at Little River will
embrace the second Sabbath in September.
Several -able divines are expected to be
pfesrr< and many ate looking forward to
tAe occasion with a good deal of interest.
Wild turkeys are said to be growing
abundant in this count}’. We have heard
of one farmer whose pea-field has suffered
front the depredations of these fowls. Has
the hirer’s sport succumbed to the hard
times ?
Many farmers are accustomed to stack
(heir fodder in the field. This is not a good
plan, for great damage and waste is the re
sult ; and since it takes but one time to haul
it out and put it into barns, it is better to do
it at once, and save it all.
Col, Sharp exhibited in our offl e some
fine specimens of minerals the other day.
It seemed to be silver, pyrites, tin, lead,
brass, pewter or something of the kind, we
were not certain which or what. Sharp
felt rich and that was sufficient.
' ‘ The Tax Collector starts upon his col

The County School Commissioner visit
ed nine schools in Hickory Flat, Little
River, and Canton districts, last week, and
found an average attendance of three hun
dred and twenty-five in all. The schools
were in k flourishing condition, and the
teachers doing faithful work.
It seems that the troublesome weed
known ns dog-fennel, has disappeared from
the country. . A neighbor called our atten

that time we have failed to see any of that
‘disagreeable jiest in our travels. What
has caused it to disappear ? We thought
awhiU that whiskey and dog-fennel would
take the country, but we are beginning to

A kxlge of Good Templars was organ

A difficulty occurred at Woodstock, one
day last week, between Captain E. U. Har
din and Lemuel Cook, during which the
latter is said to have fired several shots at
the former, though without effect Cook,
who lives upon the Captain’s place, was
accused by him of stealing h»s roasting
ears, hence the trouble. A warrant was
sworn out against Cook for an assault with
intent to kill, but he had not been arrested j
at last accounts. It will be peculiarly uu-'
fortunate for Cook if this charge is proven, |
as he was only released from the chain- j
gang on the 4’.h of July, through Executive j
tlcmeiicv.
Wnlesca Notes.
An unusual amount of sugar cane has
been cultivated this season.
Air. Lewis R-in 1 ardt has the finest patch
of tobacco I have seen this season.
The camp-meeting at Reinhardi’s chapel
begins on Thursday, the 16th instant.
The farmers are now busily engaged in
pulling fodder, which is in fine condition.
The public schools are wed attended,and
the teachers are efficiently “teaching the
young idea how to shoot.”
Colonel Sharp is building an addition to
his resilience, and otherwise improving and
beautifying bis pleasant home.
It does not pay to send beef cattle to
the Atlanta market now. A lot of cattl<
sent from this loedity, last week, only av
eraged ten dollars a head.
The corn crop in this section is the best
ever known. Even the hilliest and most
sterile lands have produced abundantly,
where properly worked. The farmers have
evidently turned over a new leaf in their
account with na’ure.
iTtNERANT.
It is out of the question for us to speak
of all the good crops in this section, but
we have seen a few that are pretty gooil.
Captain J. G. Heard says he docs not know
what he will do with hi* corn. He is mak
ing a fine crop. Mr. R. P. Daniel his the
finest field of cotton we have seen. Henry
Addington says he has made more cotton,
coin, etc., this year, than he can gather this
side of Christmas. G. B. Hill snys he is
done carrying a sack under his aim iu the
spring of the year. He has a first-rate
crop. Joe Garret has some of the largest
tobacco we have seen. But Billy Higgins
has beaten them all. He has cultivated
about four acres in corn, and two in tobac
co, has a nice potato patch, and a pretty
good gnrden, and has done it all with his
hoe. He had no horse, and said he hadn’t
time to hunt one. If we had more such
men as Billy, we would have much better
times. 8.

I hate to see a man .meddling with other

AftNING IN CIIRROKKK COUNTY.—Air.
Hoff has returned from Cherokee county,
where he has been for five or fix months,
proving some gold and copper mines in
which he has an interest. Mr. Hoff has
had much to do with such mines, having
resided for awhile in the gold regions of
California. These mines in Cherokee are
about five miles from the town of Canton,
and about two miles from the railroad that,
when completed, will run from Afarietta,
Georgia, te Ducktown, Tennessee. Air.
Hoff says these mines have been thorough
ly proven, and he pronounces the copper
mine to be the b st that he has ever seen,
and the gold mine to be the best, with one
exception—that being a celebrated mine in
California, which yields about eighty dol
lars to the ton. The gold mine near Can
ton has yielded, so far, from forty to sixty
dollars per ton. The copper mine has so
far yielded thirteen per cent; that is, out
of one hundred pounds of dirt thirteen
pounds of copper are obtained. The fa
mous Ducktown copper mine in Tennessee
yields only seven per cent of copper. Ac
cording to the account of Mr. Hoff—and he
is well qualified to form a correct opinion
about such matters—these mines are valu
able property to their owners. They are
jointly owned by Alessrs. Hoff, Alexander.
Wright and Robinson, all of this, or near
this place.—[Rome Commercial.
