The mall leaves Clanton for Marietta on Monday and Friday of e.ich week, :it 8 a. m. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays ari l Sat urdays, at 4 p. in. Canton line to D awsonvilp leaves Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re turns Thursday, 4 p. in. It is probable thatan Odd Fellows’ lodge ■will be organized in Canton erelong. Mr. Hi ndrix, our popular mail carrier, knows exactly how to make himself agree able and efficient. The railroad contractors held a spirited meeting on Saturday, but what they did no outsider has yet been able to find out. : —a- —• —-. ’ Married, on the SOth br October, by Squire James Harbin, Mr. Hillman Pitt man to Miss Sallie of this county. Hon. Thos. 11. able repre sentative of Bartow in the Legislature, and James Conyers, Esq., were in town Satur day. Born, on the 29th of September, to the wife of Rev. B. E. Ledbetter, a son. We wish the parents much joy, and hope they may never regret the advent of the little All the county teachers, and many other friends of education, will meet in the court house, on Saturday, for thc'discusfelon and adoption of a course of text-books tor the county. A lively time is expected. Our young friend. “Bud” has been apting as Tax collector pro tern, recently,’ and stays at certain places longer than is neces sary to discharge the duties of his office, sometimes; at least, he did so on one oc casion. Our fYiend Jim Kilby his gone to High tower's old stand, at the Franklin mines, to sell goods. His genial smile and pleasant word will Im? missed in Canton. If hi# ol 1 customers wish heaping measure, they will, be sure to call on Jim in bis new place. Our citizens need not go elsewhere for their stoves and tinware since the estab lishment of a tin-shop in town. Mr. Webb comes from Gainesville, highly recom mended for sobriety, industry, and skill in his trade, and we bespeak for aim a liberal patronage. More revenue arrests have been made in this county. Yesterday two negroes were taken to Atlanta charged with illicit distilling and retailing. Steve Pnllam made the arrests, and also summoned John Hell, Rufus Patterson and James Benson of this place as witnesses in the Federal court. “No.”—Au old bachelor friend, on being aderd why he had never married, replied th\t he never asked but one ladv to have him ; that his heart was tn his mouth when ho popped the question, but she said “No,” which caused it to fall so low that he has never since been able to get it back to its proper place. “Young Folk's Gem”—We have re ceived a copy of a nice little paper bearing the above hnn»e. We think it is truly it gem, and all little boys and girl* who can read should take it. It is published at Wads worth,"Medina county, Ohio, by John A. Clark, at thirty cents per annum. We will send The Georgian and The Gem one year to any one sending us ope dollar and seventy-five cents. Wjs have received the first numlx*r of The Henry County Ledger, published at Hampton, Georgia, by Rev. J. G. Coldwell. The editor is well known to us, and we can call to mind no one who, for Ids tal ents, industry, and wogth, la Uer deserves success.' The Ledger in Democratic in |h>l - and wears a good face. If the peop’e of Henry county support Mr. Cold well m they should, he will furnish them a spicy paper. Skvkuat. people from the up country enrae down, Saturday, to see what a rail road look* like. After rambling through the woods for some time in scinch of the road, one of the patty, who was ahead, nt last espied it, and sang out, in high glee, “Herr it is. Betsy I Come here quick !” and vowing that he'd walk to the end of the thing, he struck out on the grade toward Dr. Turk’s with an air of pride only equal ed by a boy in his first pair of bbots. - ■ + Colored School Exhibition. The colored school in this place had an exhibi tion on Monday night, which a member of the county school board present says was creditable indeed. The programme con sisted of singing that was excellent, dia logues that were well delivered, and tab leaux that were enjoyable. The teacher, Essie Johnson, is a colored woman, and is said to deserve considerable praise for the manner in which she acquits herself. It gives us pleasure to record a tact of so rare occurrence. Hymkneal—professor J.iiutS U. Vin cent of Canton was united in marriage, at J ones boro, Gn., on the 28lh ultimo, to MiM Luella, daughter of Carey W. Styles, E-q., editor of the Albany News.

On Wednesday, Mr. Piiyqp Donaldson, Mr. Stanley, mid -Mr. Richards, all of which are doing finely, and the chib ' dren seem bent upon acquiring an educa tion. He is Well pleased with the future prospects of these schools, supported, as they are, by a growing interest in the cause of education among the communities sur rounding them. On Thursday, he viritcu the school of Miss Gammon, who. is doing splendid servifie, 4md>tfer patrons aft anx ious to retain her for six weeks longer. Mr. Johnson is doing capital work at Squire Maddox’s, and Mr. Allen, a mere youth, is remarkably successful in teaching a school near Captain Richards’s. From his obser vations, Mr. Payne concludes that all onr people are gradually' forming a correct esti mate of the great value of mind culture, and beginning to regard education as of paramount importance. ►—<— The Grand L doe of Good Templars. Messrs. J. W. Hudson and Jabez Galt re turned from the Grand Lodge meeting on Saturday. There was a full representation of the various lodges, and the session was marked by harmony and good feeling. . Gaipiavillc extended the a i MW ing named persons were elected officers of the Grand Lodge for the ensuing vear: Grand Worthy Chief '6. Thrower of Atlanta ; Grand ’JE. F. Lawson of Waynesboro; Grand Vied Templar—Miss, S ilHe Capdlw of ville; Grand Secretary-—Samuel C.

The Grand Lodge meets at W- st Point, next year, on the second Tuesday in September. A paragraph in last week’s paper inti mated that a jdl building is useless in this county, because it is usually empty'. Sheriff Morris saw it, and thereupon he went to work to make (he building useful. He first made a trip to Big Shanlie, and arrested a negro named Moses Maloney, lor stealing bacon from II igh R isk some time since, but he could not. get the fellow for a lodger, ns he gave bond for his appear ance at court. Then he started in search of Tobe Rog< rs, a negro who broke into the house of one of bis race and stole vari ous articks of clothing; following him to Beaufort, on the Air-line road, he caught him and brought, him back as occupant of room No. 1. Every one kn<Ws ou; Sheriff is accommodating; so, to keep Tobe from getting lonesome, on Tuesday he ushered in Cy Grisham; another person of Colyr, to assist in killing the tedium, t’y had been too fond of Miiloti Davis’s sorghunq . And now we tire ready to admit that the Sher iffs energy has made the jail valuable. Winter is approaching, and our young folks should begin to pr< pare something by which the long nights can be speyl pleas antly and profitably’. “Candy-pullings’ and other social I Digs dfk very well to heighten that tecliug which makes the Whole wo'hl kin,”<mt <-oritribute noth ing to our mental storehouse. We should havt?,(eaFts of ix*a.v>D wgJFa*of app tile, and give thought a chance with sensation.

Let us s not dirsiiiale die entire winter ivo|>hs enjoyments, but provide tomething ot an intellectual nature. M.‘il Facilities.—-There exists in this section a great for mail facilities.

Now, we never 1 solicited that subscriber to take the paper, and did not know he was a sulxeriber un til we saw his nnme job our bixik. We don’t know who got permission to put it there. M’e will, however, erase it with i pleasure, and, by using coffee but once a day, will try to get along without it, and also the money due for nearly two mouths subscription. j Notice to Our Subscribers. —Those subscribers living in the vicinity of Field’s bridge can get their papei-s by calling at our residence on Wednesdays of each week. This arrangement w ill answer ev ery’ purpose of a po»t-office in the neigh borhood mcßtioneil. We suggest that our subserilK'ra In other irnrtions of the county, where there are uu post-offices, might ar range to send to Cmton for their mail, at \vry little cast, if tb ’y wd! <’l tinitex OVER THE COUNTY. Colonel E. E. Field has bought an engine to run his gin, thresher, and mill, ami to do various other tilings. Our friend Doi McClure, a sewing ma chine agent, expects to suspend •business soon, and go to see his sweetheart. Our clever friend John K. Moore, who lives on Shoal creek, is erecting a nice resi dence, which will be complct< d soon. A portable steam saw-mill, to manufac ture lumber and shingles for the county, would be a goWd thrngf inf’enfr opinion. The Methodists have recently been hold ing an interesting meeting at Miller’s chapel. Several have joined during the meeting. Our esteemed old friend, George Jeffer son, E'-q., who lives on the Silacoa, had ten acres in tobacco this season, and his crop is sai I to be fine. We paid a visit, the other day, to old father Phillips, who lives rd the Sixes gold mine. lie is nin<ty-iwo and chews tobacco constantly. Little darkeys in our neighborhood fre quently pick one hundred and fifty pounds of cotton each in a day. Such chaps could scarcely earn their salt in slavery times. Now is the time to begin to sow wheat. The policy is to manure a few acres well, send off and get good seed, put it in well, 9«i 1 tine. We caught a grinning young darkey up one of Bpple8 ’ ,hf * other Brewster, I ’lowed to ax you lor disc apples, it I had seed you.” Our friend Captain W. J. Sloan lias, we learn, bought land near the Sixes gold mine, and intends to settle permanently in the county'. We wish we had plenty’ more of the same sort. A young friend of ours says he would marry, if his pa would lend him his neW buggy;.but the said paternal^ancestor is ffrnfy rowl’ now - ■■ ■ ■ [ : J( j It is Slid, now, that a man dare not chew his own tobacco if the revenue has not ly*en paid on it. It don’t matter with us, how< ver, as we intend to burn ours. Reckon that, ain’t agin the law. Among the best farmers of our acquaint ance are Silas Payne, Moses Cantrell and Elijah Ellison. If cither of them could not make farming pay on htrine' mountain, it would be useless for anybody else to try. Major Petty of Ophir has a quarter of an acre in drilled turnips, which is expected to yield four hundred bushels, lie has a new kind of corn, from five seeds of which one hundred stalks have been raised. The seed came from Richmond. f Our friend Jim McCollum was riding along, the other day, when his horse sud denly put'awtke Brakes, and lhe momen tum duisefl Jim to go on soini? distance in advance. The ground soon caught him, howi-vcr, and he was not hurt much. A pretty y’oung lady who wears a buff bonnet, and who has been picking cotton in a neighboring field to ours, has seriously retarded the work of a certain young man of our acquaintance, who is attracted in that direction like the needle to the pole. A little boy in Greasy cove went down to the cre< k, the oth< r day, and prayed that lie might walk on the water like Pe ter, and pitched in; but his faith was not sufficient f»r the undi rtaking, and wc sup pose he got licked, when he went home, for getting his clothes wet. The sweet potato crop is doing well now. Dig them after the first frost, when the ground is dry; put them in a dry place, cover them with chaff, and, if they don’t away in a sound con l.tion. Cover them more thoroughly as the weather grows colder. • They were in the upper part of the conntv, and stopped at a farm-house for dinner. Neither of them was accustomed to say grace, but an expectant silence dty furred lhe meal, until one of the guests, for hunger sake, started to ask the blessing. Just as he ejaculated a word or two, the lady of the house inquired, “Can't some I one make a beginning?” i The celebrated ‘.T»hn McCblfinh, whom * < vervbody knows or has “heard tell oft,” was in <»ur neighborhool the other day, wan'ing to know if anybixly wanted a well dug. Ours didn’t need digging, and we did not give him a job. The lust we heard of him, a lady was after him with a stick, and John was double-quicking in the direction of Ward’s coaling ground. One of lhe numerous reporters for The ' Georgian started on a tour through the mountains, the other day, on a small Texan pony. After traveling one day, he discov j t?rc<l that the pony was lame in Iwo legs, and be wi nt s leading him along, taking “dots bv the way.” On nearing Ellijay, he offered a certain Presiding elder one dollar to ride bis pony through town. Walesca Notes. It is said that a county in North Georgia ! has thirteen justices of the peace engaged m the whisky business. Pretty heavy on the blockade. A little girl of Mr. William Timmons of ! Lost town was bitten by a snake, one day last week. The wound w.is severe, but not considered fatal. We are glad to state that our foreman is fist recovering, an I will soon be able to * resume his p-st, provided he is not carried away by that young la.ly. There is a chill among sorghum boilers, ■ owing to anticipated trouble in relation to ’ some patent. When will our people cease ■to be annoyed? It does set tn that the laws . ought to l» so framed that lhe boys could make a little sorghum to pujt in , Utejr— coffee. . ' We are having delightful weather, and cotton pickers arc Improving the opportu nity. Our farmers are very busy housing their ,j tdWrccb. We’Hear of some who have their crop cured and ready for market. They . will attach a revenue stamp before selling. | Mrs. Catherine Sharp, and J. W. Holle man and family, all of Oconee county, S. G., left for home a few days ago,, after spending a week or so very pleasantly with their relatives here. A little three-year-old of our acquaint ance ’says he is going to buy a little girl from Doctor Turk with chinquapins. We know some young men who would like to make a similar trade for girls of a larger growth. Tlltre was a little slitter among the youths on Sunday. A couple of young ]wopte, tired of their parental ho nes, and determined to quit the pinks of single life, nict at the school-house near by, sent for the Squire, and. passage for another slate. ' ‘ * Out friynd J. V. Smith has - just returned from a trip to Union county. He says the cm|>s are good, and that the peonh? along the line of the contemplated railroad are working, with a vim in the! interest of the road, and holding meetings in the militia districts. They have determined that the project shall not fail for any lack on their part. *They are taking the right course. ,We ought to,build this rpad, and can do so if the p'-dple along the line would move as, ony t|viu. It would be. an ever lasting monument of folly for the road to s'.'ip. how. A littlo help from all interested in building up this section would accom plish lire work. ■ ♦D»> Riding a Freedman to College. Many are the instances,recorded, of late, of politicians riding the riegro into office, but it remained tor Frank Willis, a maimed Confederate soldier of tlii§ county, to util ize .him by riding him to college Our friend ’Crombie is responsible for the fol lowing account of the manner in which it was done: Soim after the war, an act was passed-by the Legislature providing tor the education of maimed soldiers free of tuition. Frank availed himself of the patriotic arrange ment, and accordingly took the train for Athens, for the purpose of entering the college at that place. Arriving at night, he got out on the platform ol the depot, supposing that there would be some con veyance ready to take him over to the col lege, which was some distance away. To his g-eat disappointment, he found none, and, not bi Ing able to use bis new cork leg, he was at a loss how to proceed. In ‘ deed, he began to think the chances rather bad for him to proceed at all. The drays and ether vehicles had rattled away, the buslMng crowd had disappeared, and he fell “like one who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted ; Whose lights are 11<«1, Whose garlands are dead, .And all but him departed.” ’While silting there and musing on his forlorn and helpless condition, a big, strap ping gentleman of color passed leisurely by, when Frank ordered him to halt. Sam bo made a right-abou'-faee movement, and exclaimed, "What do you want?” “I want you to let me get on your back and rideover to t’ne college.” replied Frank. "Umph!” grunted Sambo; “I ain’t no dray.” VI umi't care if you are not,” s lid Frank : “Imfcntl to rile you to the college; so , back up here quick and let me get on.” “I shan’t do it,” muttered Sambo. “I’ll show you,” said Frank, as he pulled out a revolver and repealed the order to “back up,” in an emphatic tone. ; Sambo rolled his eyes at Frank, and, see ing that he “meant business,” backed up to the platform. Frank crowded aboard, put liis arms around Sambo’s neck, and rode . him safely to the seat of learning. The camp-meeting at Brg spring began on Friday, and continued until this morn ing. During its progress considerable re ligions deling was evoked, and a number were added to the Church. The attend ance on Sunday Is said to been larger i than at any other meeting this year, and ' cverylxidy seemed to enjoy the occasion. ’ Rev. Mr. Bellow of Milion delivered a ser i mon, in the morning, on “Restitution,” I which was highly complimented for its > sound sense and practical Character. Mr. i the evening, and Mr. William > mgW, preached goixi sermons upon the “services, sufferings, and saving grace ot Christ.” c n * r . People at the Big Spring camp-meeting 1 on Sunday had the satisfaction of seeing the prototype ot a San Francisco hoodlum. ’ He was about twenty, and just beginning • (to cultivate mustaches. With pantaloons ’ ■ tucked in his boots, Lis coat-sleeves shoved ; j up to the elbows to display a streaked de ! laiao shirt, a green neckerchief symbolizing . bia character, a blue ribbon around his hat , to show he was a “blood,” and a shawl ■ slung over his shoulder in brigandish style, ‘ he sterile through the grounds like the he -1 iroa dime novel, challenging admiration, f OfHTE a umaber of people were in town ; fester lay. Tlic real e-tate of the late t j Joshua Burtz, consisting of six lots in the third district of this county, was sold by ( j the administrator for $1,105, Mr. Frank j j Burtz being the purchaser. The personal j property of Mr. Shockley was also sold.
