We are again compelled to apologize for our short-comings, pographicul’y and ed itorially, owing to the cold weather and the piotracVd sickness of one of our com positors. We wil’be all light next week, < however, unless we meet with fuiiherbad luck. _ To eveiy person who will send us $<2,00 in cash, we will send The Geohcjan and The St. Louis Midland Fanner one year. The Fanner 's a large eight page, toi.y col umn moodily, published by Geoige W. Mat thews & Co., 212 N. Si.ith street, St. Louis. Mo., at 50 cents per year. Mr. McAfee is making auargements to put up a coiirje on his lot opposite the Bnptist chu.ch. If we had a dozen others with the amie ene-gy, pluck and ability that Joe McAfee pox messes, Canton wov’d speed ’y become equal to Marietta or Cai tvixville in numbers and impoiiance.

Mrs. MiPcent Shockley died on Sunday last, of old ago. Only a few weeks ago her husband was consigned to the tomb, and it was meet that a loving pair who bad t.od together the rough and devious paths of life for neatly t'.iree-quaricis of a century, should so soon be rc-unilcd in the spirit land.

The teims are short, at best; change the time, nod let the childieti enjoy the advantage of uninterrupted study and fasti action thioughout each session. Xavilion Meeting. A number of citizens of Cherokee coun ty, alive to the advantages which wou’d acctue to this section by the opening of the Etowah liver to navigation, met in the « court-house on Saturday, to consider the matter and send rcpusenta.ivei to the Rome convention. Aber speeches by Mr. Rrewster, Judge Dowda, and others, hearti ly favoring the scheme, the following reso lutions : Resolved, 1.

An answer not foreknown: how a just ice of the peace will decide. Let us have more sociables in town, both among young and old folks. Mas.er Alva Dowda is learning to set type rapidly, and isafi sl-rate little “devil ” Do you like cheese ? If so, you will find some at McAfee’s that is neither strong nor mitey. Caoton will probably have many stu dents to accommodate with board next year. A deserved ~ebuke was given by Mr. Tuggle io some talkafive youths at church, Sunday. Mr. McCanless has sold his interest in the floc.;ing mill on the live., below town, to John Sewc 11 . We have obtained a file of very old newspapers. how look out for scintilla tions of O' ig'nal wit. A bonder at McAfee’s hotel asked'the waller, the other dav, if be bad any “here- a f e. ’ —meaning dessert. The ladles will be delighted with the display of beaurifol shawls and prints re ceived at McAfee’s store yesteiday. Saturday night was so dark and stormy that several young Good Templars, return ing f. om the lodge, fell over a '.et.ee. We don’t see what use there was in tax ing ibe coun.y to build a jail, when the officers can never find anybody to put in it. Any one wishing to rent two or tb'ee good rooms in a p'ersact part of town, can be accommodated by calling at th’s office. Canton people got quite embusbstic, on Suicid:’ r , over the prospect of a steamboat li re to Rome, as well as a rail oad to Ma riella. The stereopt’eon e. h'bk’on on Thursday nig.it netted $<1.85. Now we can undtr staod why so many able-bodied men are showmen.

Several n.uties have been deiened fiom locai'ug In Canion iccent’y, because these aie no houses to rent. A few men of cap ital would make money by electing tene ments and renting them to new comers. A’l great journals win tbe'r name by FCob’g agog some pub' ! c cni.erp.ite: so we shall sigoa”ze our enhance in.o ibe lis.s by taking, at an cnoimourf outlay of time and expense, a complete census of Canton. The Rif ’rc.ad Prosped*. The icsrlt of the t«»i’.wd mco.’ng in Canto •, on ibe 15. h iosisuit, did not meet expec a ’o is. «nd somewhat dampened the hopes of ihe i iho.'d’a advoca.es. Bat when it was remembered that people ob ject to m'eg’l.ig biw'ncw with p’e*'uie,vnd hiat much good seed must have fallen upon iul’ow giound which would geminate in due t'me, .be cause o" »egret was greatly lessened. The iai’real prospcc-s are now brighter than evci. The people along the line a>e 'jiad jtii'y awaking to the advantages of commue’c. t'on with thecomme chd wond, the»r feel'ngs a>e becoming wannly enlisted in the enteimlae, and Hbei.'l contiibiu'oos may icesonabiy be expected to flow in eie long. As an instance of the sniiil roal.iug i.x appealance, Hide Fannin county tne other day aubsciilied and promises $20,000 additional; and MniietH increased her subsciipfion by two or tb.ee thousand dollars On F.iday night If everybody lUtcici.eti would contiibute their share to Ups work, bo,h in word sod deed, .be loco motive whistle would echo unough all the valleys and fi’i a’l the mouvt.’ins between Muiieiui and Muipby with the ..ey-notes of civilizi'on.

Genc al Pbiifps, in b’siepo.t to the diiecto.s. stated that the o.iginal proposi tion avas to subsci ibe $25,000 on ibe lire between Ma ie ia and Cavtoo, the a umeti d'S.cnte bcleg twenty miles. The amount svuse ihed was $. * 1.000, only $20,000 of wb’ch bave bean collected. About s6,Of 0 is requhed to settle the liabilities aLeady ipcu ted in consaecpng the toad. A con tact for -be iion and motive power has j been made, which will be fu. Dished upon’ the fl.st mortgage bohda, when ibe toad- i bed to Canton is completed and fice from | debt. The i.on will coal $70,000. To get ' the road ready for the iion will require' eighty thousand c oss-iiesand five bundled feel of trestje-woik, which will cost about SIS,CCO. The to.al cost of grading the ■ laid f.om L»tUe i<ver to Caoton, a distance ■ of tea miles, was $3,00, or sst,o a mile, I and the work was done io five months, j with le 3 than a hundred me *. By dout- ling the force, forty-eight miles could be g.aded in twelve months, in the same ratio, at a cost of only $24,000. The President recommended that the road be made ready for the iron to Canton ; that the company i.self work the convicts, and that the p‘ es ent force continue the grading. With such an exhibit of economy and ski’lful management, who can dottbt the ultimate Success of the road? And then contemplate the grand resu’ts it will be the insiiume.lt of achieving: the magnificent countiy it wi'l open up, the activity it will inspire, ore intallcciual growth it wi'l stim ulate, the vast resources it will develop, the prosperity it will engender; and sav, it you c.-'o, that the welfare of yourselves and your poster',y will not be promoted by the construction of this road; say that, as .he vegetable kingdom has beietofoie claimed you for i;s own, you have no desire to cut tb.e loots which have bound you to the de?d pis. end kept you from rising to that snbere which the Creator intended you to occuny—the sphere of mental and material progress. OVER THE COUNTY. The fiifit is about gone ’n this county. Good smn’l fauns can be bought cheap in this county. There was a ’’ii’e frost in some portions of the county last week. Cooper ore is now found in abundance in the ne’gbho!hood of Can.du. Without doubt, Cherokee has made more co' n this year than will be needed for home consumption. Bluest ofie is a good remedy for hog chol eic. We have often tried it, and never known it to tai’. We will take pork, beef, wheat, corn, chickens, and anything else rbc.t is good to eat, in payment for subscriptions to The GEOUG’AN. A mu'e belonging to Truman Knox choked i.self to death with a rope, recently. Our ropes always get the woisi of it in such cases. The cotton crop in the county is gener ate estimated at about one-belt the usual amount. Tne it ’os have considerably re folded picking. We know of but one wedding that is to take p'ace before Cbrisltnas. What do the young folks mean? How aic parsons and printeis to live? The ciy for bread will not be heard fiom the no.id end of Cbeiokefe, ibis ser'.on, but the squeel of the poike’s, as they fall under the knife, w’li be a common sound. Some hogs got d unk on sorghum skim mi >gs near Fie d’s bridge, the other day. It was a s’jgv’ar circumstance, causing bacon to/<r z t, but it soon rose again. Since the new discovery of gold at the Fiftok'in nicies, the miners ate engaged, botn night and day, in sinking shafts and imining entries to the glitl 'ring prize. A friend, who already has seveial small chi'dren to provide for, says he doubts the prop iciy of exhibiting the D'lbeck trip’cfs over rhe county, as it is a bad example. The cb'cken crop has been almost an en tire fn ; 'u;e in some poi ions of tbe couniy. Os the ten thousand remed es proposed for chicken cho’er.i, wc think none of them are worth a cent. The cmmtiy north of the Etow ah will have a icmaikably sweet time th’s winter. A geni eman recently in that poiiion of the county says he “never saw ns much sor ghum bcio.e since he was bom.” Rans Se'leis of Csitersville has been in our coutny of late, looking for a home. We hope he will succeed in findliig one to suit him, for he is a good-beaiied fellow and a good hand to catch hoise.ibievei. The pe simmon, wild grape, chestnut and chinquapin crops are all very good, and the opossums end the boys'wi n soon have a fine time. The opossums wi'l cat ibe fruit, and the boys will eat the opos sums. Our old friend Popham informed us, the o<bcr day, that he recently struck gold in nbundaece on bis place near town. He rays that in a stna’l panful of diit theie was evough of the piecious stuff to liteially cover the bottom of the nan. The county wi'l be well represented at tbe Rome navigation convention on the6th of Oe.obcr. What is to binder Cherokee Geo gla fiotn becoming wealthy, prospeious and potent, with her blight nrospec’s tor raihoad communication and I'ver naviga tion ? Abxo’ute'v nod'’ ?g, unless it be tbe apathy and uneulet nrisiog spirit of those whose intc.esiS are involved. Major Wilev Petty of Ophir owns and runs one of the finest flouring mills In North Georgia. The mill bui'ding is a substantial ftame structure, and the ma chioety is new and oi the most improved pa.ri? 0, the whole cor. ; ng over four thou sand dol’ms. Since January, when the mills went into opeiation, five thousand bushels of wheat have been giound for toll alone. Two little daughters of James Blanton, of this county, came near being bitten by a rattlesnake, the other day. They were at p’ay in a hoise-lot near the bouse, when the larger gul discovered the snake, and in at temp Jug to take tbe smaller one out of they both fell over a pile of nils, end were stmek st by the snake. teen ratdes and a button were found on his snakeship’s tai’, and he was perfectly blind. A little child was torn to pieces by hogs, recently. The mother, who I’ves near the Barlow line, had gone to a neighbors, leav ing her child alone at home. When she returned a horrible sight met her gaze. Swine had got under the bouse, pushed i through the flooring, and almost devoured 1 her little one. What awm ning this should i be to parents to inclose their dwellings, an<P make home kafe Horn imr’-’on. VValesca Notes. Brother Neal can’t see clearly. It was a nice young lady. Take the wool out of your eyes. A flock of wild gec®e passed by on Sun day night, winging their way southward in search ot a warmer climate. A whopping big boy made bis appear ance here on Saturday. He is boarding at G. W. Boston’s, and is very food ot sweet milk. Mr. A. P. ; ce has a couple of acres of ve~y file tobacco, which is as high as a man’s chia, broad leafed, and smooth as polished marble. A little g’>! of Mr. T. Smith, about six years old, was. severely if not fatr'iy bu nt, tbe o.ber day, by the fi.e ign'.iog her c'otb’og. Th’s accident should be a wai o iug io olbers. We met our nreacbe;, Ibeod er mo; airg, in aver y n'eaiant mo id, and, on irqvny, learned that Mr. S. R. Jac .‘on bad just pr 'semed b : m with a nice b. con ham. We would r '.e lo see one appear at our house, for we ..would i? yer have it ••i?a mutton. A . lend has left with us the fl lest speci men of mica we have seen in was found in th’s couoiv. A mmc of it would be very valuable p opevly. Many a man in tnis section who now goes to bed poo?, will some day wake up to the riches wh’ch he possesses unawares. Tbe camp-meeting near Walesca was held under very un avorable conditions, ow’ng o the inclement weather, but many pco'flg abended and much good was done notw’.bslaud’Ug. Tbe Presiding elder and seveial other able ministers were present, efieci’ve sermons were delver cd, and about thirty persons embuced religion. The meeting clo ed ou Tuesday of last week. A Word to Those who 0«e Us. ; ’Another dun!” Ob, no! We can get along without money! Our printers can wart for their wages; our paper oil's can be paid some time; and we can run a pa per just for tbe fun of the thing! You are only one among seveial hundred, and the amount you owe is not much; besides, when we need it, we can hunt you up and ask you for it—no, beg you to pay us, and if you don’t do it, we will dead-head you; for we always did like you. and think we might fur fish you a paner for nothing, as it is not much! What’s a dollar or two here and there and yonder! Times are hard, and printers ought to wait for their dues until they are better.
