The Cherokee Georgian Oanton, Oa,_ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1875. MAIL TIME-TABLE. The mail leaves Canton for Marietta on Monday and Friday of each week, at 8 a. m. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays and Sat urdays, at, 4 p. m. Canton line to Dawsonville leaves every Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re turns Thursday, 4 p. m. Mr. Theodore Turk and wite returned from a visit to Alabama on Monday. Business is improving in Canton, and our merchants are anticipating a brisk fall trade. ■- « » I 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 residence of John Beasly, by J. M. Shmp, Esq , Mr. James A Hobgood to AlistJ 11 n nah Dilner, all of Cher >kee. On 12th instant, at the residence of the bride’s father, by J. JL Sharp. E<q., Mr. J. P. M. Edwards to Miss M. M. Cagle, ail of Cherokee. 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 <»u the creek, last Bunday, to administer tlic rite of imptis.a. Rv V . J. J. Harris bap. tized four by Itntners on mid two by pour- ! lug and R< v. J, K<.tor immersed thirteen. Aller the ceremonies, the congregation re paired io the Methodist chureh and listened to cxcdl 'iit by the preachers men- iiomd. The nbureb ImiMing. though large, wm crowded to iu utmost capacity, and at least O KHbird of the people could not gala udmh*.on. * 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. Sn« •£• hunter. Commcnkated. 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.
