Wanted, by J. M. McAfee, 10,000 bush
els of new corn, and 10,000 bundles of good
fodder.
Capt. Sewell and “the buys” have had
fine sport, the past week, running “trusties”
to keep the hounds in practice. |
Mr. W. T. Popham popped into our of
fice, the other day, artd presented us with a i
basketful of fine peaches—a compliment we
highly appreciate.
We have never heard that Mr. R. J. Bo
ling belongs to the legal fraternity, but his
thingle has been hanging in front of Mc-
Afee’s store for some time past.
Vehicles are so scarce and so hard to
borrow in Canton, that Mr. McAfee has
kindly consented to rent liis buggy to any .
•one wishing it for the low price of a dollar
a day. •
Call at McAfee’s store and inspect his
new stock of goods. You can there find
almost anything you desire in the grocery ,
or dry goods line, at lbw prices for cash or
barter.
We cannot publish obituary notices of
private persons without compensation. A
due regard for the interests of our subscrib
ers and of ourselves requires the enforce
ment of this rule. |
Old Boreas gave Canton a call on Sat
urday, but his vi.-it was far from welcome,
lie made the dust flv, the windows rattle,
and the trees sing in a manner which caused
■uncomfortable reflections.
Why does not the Atlanta
exchange with us? We send our paper
regularly to that office, but have not re
ceived any in return. Perhaps it is the
•fault of the mailing clerk. How is it ?
The Georgian goes to press, this week,
•on Tuesday morning, to enable our com
positors to attend the festival. The indi
cations at this writing are unfavorable for
pleasant weather, but we hope the clouds
•will blow over, the people flock to town,
And a gala day l>e enjoyed.
Our up-country readers will remember
ithat Colonel H irdenvin speaks at Jasper ,
on Friday and at Ellijay on Saturday next,
in the interest of the Mirietta and North
Georgia railroad. The Colonel is an el<»-
q tent speaker, -and should draw a 1 .rge
crowd at each of his appointments.
A Word to Our Fellow-Citizens. —
As there will be a great many people in
town to attend the railroad festival, and as 1
we can not personally solicit every one to
•subscribe, we ask all who are willing to
add in sustaining their county paper to c.’H
at our office during the day, see the paper,
and give us their names.
Married—On the 9th instant, at the

bride’s father, by J. JL Sharp. E<q., Mr. J.

The chain-gang camp has become quite
ar, attraction on Sunday afternoons. Two
of the negro convicts arc preachers, and
every Sunday they expound the Scriptures
to their fellow-convicts in a decidedly or
iginal but rather entertaining manner. An
Attendance at. one of these meetings ft»r
sdshes much food for thought, though the
,-s rmon preached may embody an old story
.and be ignorantly told.
The Teachers’ Association held its'
regular monthly meeting last Saturday. '
The principal feature of the occasion was
an oration by B. F. Payne, Esq., upon the |
teacher's duty and destiny, which was
highly praised by those who heard it. Wc
will give our readers the benefit ot a few
excerpts from the oration in our next Issue.
The discussion regarding text-books was
deferred until the Octolier meeting.
Local items have declined to stir about, '
tliis week. It is fodder-pulling and cotton
picking time, and no opportunity allowed
people to scare them up. And this re
minds us of the splendid chance an editor •
missed in not having a paper in Canton
twenty years ago, when fisticuff fighting
was the principal enjoyment of many, and
a dozen knock-downs occur,ed in a day. j
Ah, those were the “good old times;” will !
they be repeated ever? Echo answers,
Never!
An Interesting OccAsiON.-Our Sila
ea* correspondent writes that the Methodist
and Baptist brethren met at the same point

A Visitor’s View of Cherokee*
Correspondence of The Georgian
While there is so much being sat 1 of
New Holland, Catoosa, and various water
ing-places in the South, and so much re
lated of Florida as a delightful resort for
Georgians, I claim a little space in your
paper to tell of another favored spot, that
has been overlooked by those in search of
health, good water, and delightful climate.
Although we do not claim for this section
any great variety of medicinal waters,
there are some advantages connected with
the country that will most favorably com
pare with more noted places.
During a late visit, we were both sur
prised and delighted. The magnificent
scenery, splendid lands, and generous hos-
P'tality of the citizens of Cherokee county,
| made our visit one of unqualified pleasure.
It will remain with us us a green spot in
memory.
I We began <ur trip on a beautiful day—
I the air cool and bracing. Our road led us
over mountains and hills, entrancing our
, minds with the magnificent scenery, stretch
ing miles away on the right and left
Mountains near and far away, with glimpses
• of lovely valleys between, lhe lights and
shadows brightening and softening the va-
I ried scene spread out before us. When at
length we reached the beautiful Etowah
valley, about six miles from Canton, we
exhausted our whole vocabulary of praises,
in view of its beautiful situation and glori
ous extent. It was indeed a splendid pan
’ orama. The crops are in the highest state
of cultivation, giving abundant promise of
fruitful harvests and luxurious living.
| We spent a night with Rev. Mr. Brew
ster, in the midst of this lovely valley, and
j it is our pleasure to record the generous
welcome so kindly extended by his most
excellent and hospitable family.
; Next day we reached the camp-ground,
the limit of our journey. Let me speak a
■ word just here in praise of the mile-posts,
seen everywhere throughout the county.
They are super-excellent, although I con
fess I thought the road commissioners had
been very careful always to give extra good
measure. I am satisfied that a mile in
I Cherokee will do lor a mile in any other
country.
As we neared the camp ground, we were
greeted by the songs of the wor-lripers al
ready assembled. It is rare to see such
! good order and respectful attention as we
witness, d at this place. Everything was
well conducted, and a most grateful wel
come given to all visitors.
During our stay we passed a night, each,
with Judge Donaldson and Colon-1 E. E.
Field. Living in the midst of their fine
domains, we were prepared in some meas
ure f<>r lhe exceeding kindness and elegant
hospitality so freely extended to us. I
could write a ful’-pigc description of their
magnificent plantations; most beautiful in
situation, the Etowah winding throughout
their entire extent—-lhe soil growing richer
1 year by year, and without limit in strength
and fruitfulness.
i Now, allow me a word for your ra’lroad.
Never give up the undertaking. Sustain it,
and it will sustain you. The Air-line rail
road has opened up wonders in the mount
ain region of Georgia. Old citizens of the
I middle and lower sections of the State had
no conception of the beauties and excel
lences of this now famous region.
i Cherokee and the counties beyond have
equal beaut ire, equal advantages, in store
for all, whenever public enterprise will
force this railway throughout their extent
When I looked over its magnificent valleys,
its native strength and material wealth, I
j was surprised that the necessity for the
rdlroad had not made it an accomplished
fact long ago. Who can foretell the future
of Canton, when it has open cominnnica
, tion with middle and lower Georgia ! As a
summer resort for invalids, it strikes me as
a most eligible and desirable location. The
water is delighlful’y pure and cold. C,an-
I ton has an elegant hotel, newly erected—
| eveiything fresh and clean. In and around
the place, there will l»e found good board
ing and excellent society; while the de
lightful mountain air would invigorate and
strengthen the weakest irame. To all who
would seek a pleasant summer home with
them, I will guarantee the utmost k’ndness
and good will from the citizens of Cheio
kee. Success to the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad. R. A. F.
Dots.
Never joke a fool, nor joke any one
' else in his presence. If you do, you will
repent it.
| The health of the county is good at this
time, and the cool weather will cause it to
continue until crojis are gathered, I hope.
Three or four negroes were caught
prowling in Dr. Turk's field, Sunday, and
stealing muscadines. They had best be on
| their guard.
My notion of things changes, as the
moon said to the earth ; but what a time
the boys will have when the railroad is put
in running trim to this town !
I am thinking seriously ofchanging my
base of operations 1 have grown fat on
doing nothing, and my old blade says it is
getting through the world pretty easy, not
: to have a drop of grease on lhe place.
! I want the contract to furnish snipes for
the Philadelphia centennial next year. I
, shall send the President a pair, and, if he
1 is consistent with his past history, he will
give me free lrans|x>rtation to the show.

Siepmothers are sometimes very singu
’ lar, not to say ciuel. It is said there is one
in Canton who will not permit her st-p
child to associate with or enjoy the com
pany of her own children, begotten by the
same father. If there is not a change tor
the better in behalf of this child, the public
shall know al! about it, and the proper
autboi'ny will be invoked fur its relief.
' Justice.
Beautify Your Home.
Make home pleasant Man has but a
short time to stay in this world at best, and
if he is so unfortunate as to have an un
pleasant home, he misses about all of life
that is worth living for. A pleasant home
does not consist in fine houses nor wealth,
for the poor man in his cabin may be as
contented as the king in his palace. The
poor man’s affections are as keen and as
strong as the wealthiest; he loves his wife
and babes as dearly as can be ; and why
not?
Many people come to the conclusion that
because of their poverty they are beneath
notice, and therefore sit down and do noth
ing to make home attractive. " Stop that;
choke it out! Get up, go to work, beautify
your home, and prepare for a comfortable
living. Provide for the fair one whom you
have made the partner of your joys, and
she will readily share your sorrows, if you
have any.
There arc a thousand things necessary to
be done to make home pleasant. First,
make your house dry, warm and comfort
able within. Then beautify your yard and
adorn it with flowers and shrubbery. Don’t
depend upon your wife for these things, but
assist her in setting out the plants and
vines. Repair the fences and gates, and
make them stock proof, so that your work
may not be in vain. A coat or two of
paint or whitewash on the house and fences
would then be appropriate, and set the seal
of neatness and elegance on your premises.
Take a few hours each week to improve
the yard, walks and house, and (our word
for it) you will have a pleasant time at
home, and your wife and children will feel
that you have a lively interest in their wel
fare.
Wives and mothers frequently fail to do
their duty. They often neglect to sweep
the house, to put things in their places, to
ke< p their apparel tidy, and their hair tied
up or combed, and thus, by their careless
ness and negligence, drive their husbands
elsewhere for comfort and enjoyment.
How pleasant it Is to see a nice, clean
house, where everything is in place, and the
girls always in perfect trim, ready at all
times to receive strangers or sweethearts 1
A very little matter sometimes makes a
wonderful change in one’s fortune. The
young man who stopped to pick up a pin
was called back and given a place ; the
young lady who passed over the broom
missed a good chance to marry, and now
lives an old maid. Be careful of little
things. _
Cherokee’s Future.
The mineral wealth of Cherokee has
been greatly und« r-valued, and opinions
concerning it have been exceedingly vague.
While sne or two mines have been profit
ably worked after a make-shift fashion, and
some intermittent prospecting done, the
vast ore veins, rich beyond calculation,
which course through the county, have re
mained untouched. Lack of transporta
tion facilities, of enterprise and capital,
have been the drawbacks to material de
velopment; but a new era is soon to begin.
Already we are experiencing some of the
practical advantages which a railroad will
afford us by opening up the country, in the
late discovery of rich mineral deposits, and
beds of the finest marble, and in exciting
our people to think and plan and work.
When the Marietta and North Georgia rail
road is completed, and we become better
acquainted with our native resources, a
transformation will surely be effected.
Gapital and enterprise will follow in the
railroad’s wake by and-byo, lay bare the
bosom of nature, and secure the hidden
treasures buried there. Then the silent old
mountains around us will teem with activi
ty ; new towns will spring into being, as
by magic; manufactories and workshops
will rise on every hand, and “a poor coun
try and a poor people” will be mentioned
as things of the past.
Is this a fancy picture ? Not at all. Do
you not notice a spirit of activity and en
terprise gradually taking possession of our
citizens? It is a spirit which,like Banquo’s
ghost, will not down at one’s bidding
Men’s minds are like icebergs: slow to
start upon a line of progress, but, once
started, they are as irresistible as their course
is unalterable. It may not be in our day
that the wonders will be wrought; but we
can at least prepare the way, and lay the
foundations on which they will be wrought
bv those who come alter us.
Information Wanted.
We purpose writing a historical sketch
of Cherokee countv, if we can obtain the
materials, for publication in The Geor
gian. Such a sketch ought to be prepared
while the facts are fresh in the memory,
and cun tie attested by living witnesses. To
this end, we invite contributions from old
citizens of the county and others having
knowledge of the past history of Cherokee.
Facts about the early settlers, their customs
and habits; information regarding men
who have benefited and honored the coun
ty in the past; incidents and anecdotes
connected with old times —all these are
particularly desirable, and would prove
highly interesting, not only to the rising |
generation, but to the participants in the ,
scenes themselves. We hope our invitation ■
will be accepted by all who can throw any
light upon the subject.
Comiuvnicated.
It is a fact to be deeply deploied, that
a quarterly conference, so called, has so de
generated that it has become a kind of'
arena for backbiting, evil surmising, the i
taking up of reproaches, etc. The eham-I
pion warrior hurls his dans vindictively |
and securely, because tbe*u&/eef waiter has j
been sent out and the doors are closed. O i
for that charity that thinketh no evil—is 1
nut puffed up. Observer.
Harbin’s district contains seven flourish
ing schools. In this regard, it is the banner j
district of the county.
OVER THE COUNTY.
We regret to learn that diptheria pre
vails in some portions of the county.
The people over the county have bad
fine weather for drying fruit and saving
fodder.
We know a man who is willing to gin
cotton on very favorable terms. Wonder
if he would care if we tell his name?
A man in the mountains said, the other
day, that he had a vein of copper on his
land which “extended from the center to
the circumflex.”
Reub. McKinney says he has the best
cotton in the county, and that we are afraid
to see it! Well, suppose we all just take
his word for it!
A little boy of our acquaintance struck
another, the other day, and, on being asked
by his mother why he was so naughty, re
plied : “ ’Cause I’m little, and don’t know
any better!”
Six schools were visited by the School
Commissioner during the past week. The
attendance is now very small, as the chil
dren have been withdrawn to help gather
the crops.
We want a correspondent in every nook
and corner of Cherokee. If each reader of
our paper would furnish a single item of
news weekly, we could make one of the
best local newspapers in the State.
Farmers will find almost anything they
want in the kvay of fresh groceries and dry
goods at McAfee’s store, in Canton. A new
stock of fall and winter goods arrived Sat
urday, and more are daily expected Irom
New York
There are forty-four white and four
colored free schools in this county, all re
ported to be in a flourishing condition ; but
their number should be doubled. The
school population requires it; the times
demand it.
Mr. W. T. Popham is still working in
his gold mine, near Canton. He is confi
dent that very rich ore can be found on his
, land; but ill health and a lack of the neces
sary means have prevented him from ex
tracting much of the precious metal.
Mr. M. P. Morris told us, last week,
that he expected to gin the first new cotton
..raised in Cherokee county this season. He
was to have begun ginning last Wednes
day. He also said that the item we pub
lished about his lifting feat was correct; he
simply illustrated the Archimedian theory
of lever power.
Many of our people are manufacturing
their own syrup. This is right, for why
should we buy what we can make at home?
Many persons turn up their noses at sor
ghum, who would pay a high price for it,
and say it was fine, if it were raised in
New England or imported from some for
eign country.
WalescA Notes.
Zack Pitman says the bush arbor at the
camp-ground will leak, if it rains.
The camp-meeting near Reinhardt’s
chapel begins to morrow (Thursday).
We saw a stalk of cotton, recently, that
had two hundred and fourteen bolls, forms,
etc
We listened to an interesting sermon at
Reinhardt’s chapel, Sunday, by Rev. J. J.
Harris.
The Methodists have had a lively meet
ing at Midway, and quite a number pro
fessed religion and were baptized.
Mrs. Nancy Bird has returned to her
old home near here, after a few years stay
in Floyd county. She says Cherokee is
the place for her.
We understand that John Nations and
Rush Jordan were both arrested, the other
day, for illicit distilling. They must have
got hold of the w’rong men.
An interesting meeting has just closed at
Pleasant Union, a few miles north of this
place. Some fifteen or twenty were added
to the Baptist church there.
Mr. Bcrk Newton has left at our store
a specimen of new syrup, which is very
fine. He says he is aiming to make a good
deal of the same sort. Go on, Brother
Newton, and supply the people with syrup
at their doors.
There seems to be more life in our vicin
ity than at any time since the war. Farm
ers are busy, preparing barns, cribs, etc., to
house the bountiful crops ; and, while we
write, the sounds of the hammer and the
saw greet our ear.
We have had considerable sickness late
ly, principally among children, but all are
improving at present. There have been
two fatal cases. Mr. James Porter lost a
little boy about five years old, and Rev. Mr.
Legg buried an infant child on Sunday, at
Reinhardt’s chapel.
S»IaC(M Drift-wood.
Salacoa is a small valley lying in the
northwest corner of Cherokee county,
through which runs a beautiful creek from
which the valley takes its name.
On the Salacoa are three excellent flour
ing mills and three saw-mills, owned re
spec.ively by the Messrs. Thompson, the
’ Messrs. Franklin, and Williams & McCan
lis, all doing well.
G. W. Jefferson and D. P. Mahan have
each a tobacco factory, and are doing a
thriving business.
Some of the best farming lands in the
county are to be found in this valley. The
principal products are corn, wheat, and
! tobacco, of w hich large quantities are
j raised annually.
The inhabitants of the valley arc, in the '
’ main, high minded, warm hearted, and hos-;
pitable, and but few places in upper Geor-
Igia enjoy better society. We are blest
with good schools, good churches, and a
i flourishing lodge of Good Templars.
The principal religious denominations
< here are the Methodist, Baptist, and Cum-
I berland Presbyterian. I
I The Cumberland Presbyterians are with
' out a pre icher this year.
Rev. J. J. Harris is now holding an in
teresting meeting at Midway, a new church
which was organized between Fairview and
Reinhardt’s chapel last year.
The Baptists arc supplied by Rev. J.
Keter, who is a good speaker, and preaches
very acceptably to the people. He organ
ized a church, about a month ago, with
eight members. lie closed a nine days
meeting last Sunday, which resulted in an
addition of fifteen by experience and sev
eral by letter.
The M. E. Church South is supplied by
Rev. J. J. Harris, preacher in charge of the
Jasper circuit, who is in his second year on
this work. Mr. Harr's is one of the best
pastors I ever knew, and the people are
delighted with him. He has had many
gracious revivals this year; one at Fairview
church, in this valley, a month ago, resulted
in thirty-five conversions and an addition
of thirty to the Church. J B. L.
