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.” A Miisie-Nrtte.

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 ‘ go Ucnce, As Ute lion shakes Ute dew drops from his shaggy mane, so shake sleep, rioth and laziness from yuurselt. Work for nothing rather than be idle. Do not, O I fowl-heads, as barpn s suck the life-blood us your neighbors, by imposing yourself on them, eating M their tables, paying them naught but long-wimted tales. whose chiet ■ i hanu teri-’lc is their falsity. O Dead heads. : wake up; gu tv uvA. and be 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. TOWN TALK.

If the frequent demand for horses and buggies is any criterion, Canton would fur nish a good living for a livery-stable keeper. 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 duty when warned, have been summoned to appear before the board next Saturdav, and show cause why they should not be fined. Our worthy Ordinary has rapidly assumed Falstaflian proportions since he went into office,.. He Siu s dliis. fact has >ee«L mgn tioneff and cbmtnetfted Upon untifme tfas' become a little tired of it. Any one would, ordinarily. 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. • • W. A. Teasi.y, • " Chairman Committee of Arrangements. 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 i’M E D ; OVER THE COUNTY. A neighbor of’ ours thinks he will pick bale of cotton next week. The Rev. Al. Puckett preached at Field’s Chapel on last Sunday night. Tlje county seems to be pretty well stocked with hogs at this time. Diplherfii is prevailing among the chil dren, in some portions of the county. Young Brauley, whose suicide was no ticed in last week’s paper, is said to have become insane from remorse. ■—TiA re has recently been a gracious revi val of religion at Enon Baptist Church, and also one at Little River, near by. Air!’Jesse Brtrtz will dispose of some valuable Cherokee county lands on sale day in October.' See advertisements. Farmers wishing to purchase new' wag ons yyill do well tp read Mr. J.

Look out.’ The Northern Methodists have been holding an interesting camp-meeting at Orange for several days past, and quite a nuniber have professed religion. Mbhiey is scarce and times are hard. When people buy their corn and lard ; But;times are easy when supplies Are made at home, and ho one buys. Tlje Cherokee mills are now in splendid order,--and are grinding fine meal. Mr. . Lnvinggood says R. T. Kennett brought 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 lecting tour on the 15th instant. He makes three visits to each precinct, and, as there are fifteen precincts in the county, he will about complete his circuits by the Ist of December, when the books are closed. 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 tion to the fact the other day, and since 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 believe now that lepxtada »triatta and the Good Tepiplars will hold it! Awl wright! A kxlge of Good Templars was organ ikoH at Fairview church, on the Salacoa, a few days since, by Rev. J. J. Harris, with the following officers: F. Alexander, W. C. T.; Mrs. M. J. Alexander, W. V. T.; 8. Cooley, W. C.; E. D. Jefferson, W. F. 8.; W. M. Roberts, W. 8.; Mre. M. E. Shel burne, W. A. 8.; A. C. Brison, W M.; Mrs. E. M. Brre, W. D. SL; Mrs. R. Richardson, W. I. G; J. J. Neal, W. O. S.; Miss E. J Taylor, R. 41. S.; E. Roberts, L. H. 8.; M. S. Collink, W. T.; J. B. Landis, Lodge Deputy. 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. Whnt I Hate to See. I hate to see a man spit on the floor; be cause it shows a want of manners. I hate to see a man play checkers all day; because he could be better employed. I hate to hear a man talk about bis neigh bors; because it don’t show the clean thing. I hate to see a man talk and laugh in church; because he profanes God’s house I hate to see a minister of the gospel with a cigar in his mouth; because it shows want of self government. I hate to see a man .meddling with other people’s business; because it shows he has none of his own. I hate to see a man charge two prices for a day’s work; because he put in about halt time. I hate to see a man sell goods ; because he always bites you. I hate to see a camel with but two legs ; because it looks us if its bump was too heavy. I hate to see a man with a groat bump on the side of his face ; because it shows the tobacco within. I hate to see a man beg credit, and then talk of homesteads; because it smells of larceny. I hate to see a man good on Sunday, and bad all the rest of his time; because it has the color of the hypocrite. I hate to see a man buy paper at nothing, and sell at thirty ceuts per pound ; because —because. Rambod. 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. ' WESTERN A ATLANTIC R. R. DAT PASSENGER —OUTWARD.
