We invite attention to the law card of
Moon& Wwtra in this paper. We are
well acquainted with Mr. Moon, and know
ftnm to be' a young lawyer of promise and
worthy of itfiie confidence of any who may

It is estimated that there has been an in
crease of $15,000,000 in taxable property
along the Air line railroad since it was be-
X'»n. This fact should spur up the people
«»n the line of the Marietta and North Geor
gia road to renewed exertions in behalf of
the enterprise. *
Mr. N. J. Garrison of Acworth has
rented the dwelling now occupied by J. B.
Barton, and will become a resident of Can

a hearty welcome.
The Georgia commissioner of agricul

millions of dollar? annually by the injudi

to enrich the soil and improve the ciops.
Died, on Monday morning, October 11,
Miss Louisa, daughter of Henry Kilby of
this county, aged about twenty-five years.
IL-r life had been one of physical suft< ring
from infancy, and for the past four yejirs
she find been confined to her tied. “After
life’s fitful fever, she sleeps well.” Iler re

Downs is a rising young lawyer at Ac

employ him, he will stick to them as long
as there is a dollar in their pockets, and a

energy and pluck, and always wins if he
can.
Janka Brooks, a lad of fifteen, was con

jmanslaughtcr, and sentenced to the peni
tentiary for two years. The evidence lead

The . anxiously awaited action of Hie
Teachers’ association on Hie important
subject of a uniform series of text-books
was taken last Saturday. There were pres
ent a large number of county teachers, sev
eral members of the County board, Mr. W.
11. Kendrick, agent of the -University com
j pany, Mr. R: L. DeLea, agent of A. S.
Barnes & Co., together with a respectable
number of citizens.
On motion, the regular order of exercises
was omitted, and the report of the commit
tee on text-books was called for. Prof.
Vincent, chairman of the committee, re
sponded for the committee. He stated that
the committee, after two months’diligent
labor, had prepared a written report rec
ommending a series of text-books and a
classification of schools, but had left the
! matter of tuition rates for the action of the
Association. After some pertinent re
marks on the unity and progressiveness of
the series and the adaptability and impor
tance of the system, he read and submitted
the report.
On motion, action was had, by vote, on
each Look recommended by the committee,
with the following result:
The schools are divided into two classes :
1. The Common schools, in which are to
be taught all the branches required by the
common-school law of the State, and which
are to be preparatory to the Graded schools.
2. Graded schools, which are subdivided
into (1) Intermediate schools, in which are
to be taught such branches as are specially
adapted-to fit pupils for practical life, and
(2) schools, in wliicft are to*be tnugfit
such branches as are specially calcinated to
impart a practical and a collegiate educa
tion. •
As ihejcompktC report is seep to be pub
lished in circulars Jor distribution in the
county, we give but a brief synopsis.

schools, Gray’s Manual of Botany, Bart

Professor Vincent offered the following
resolutions, which were adopted:
1 Timt we, the Cherokee Teachers’ as
sociation earnestly solicit the indorsement
and co-operation of the County board of
ednea ion in establishing and sustaining our
classification of county schools, anil our
ad< pled scries of text-books.
2. That we earnestly insist that the
County board oi education publish twenty
five hundred copies of this adopted seri -s
of text-books, for distrilmtiou among the
teacln rs and school trustees, and to be
posted in the mo 4 public place in each
school district in the' county.
3. That it is our judgment that this
course o>f instruction will need no revision
for a period of four years, and wo recom
mend Its adoption by the Board for a pe
riod of lour years.
4. Tl.ul w<- recommend that all appli-
■ cants for school- in this county be required
to stand a rigid examination upon the text
books in this course, notwithstanding any
certificates they may hold.
5. That we will willingly and gratuitous
1y aid any teacher in mastering the text-
’ lx>oks of this Course who will meet witn
the Association at its regular meetings on
the second Saturday of each month.
The action of the Association was per
fectly harmonious and unanimous.
We venture the assertion that there is
not in use itr-Georgia a more thorough, pro
gressive and itlicient series of text-bo''ks,
nor a wiser and more practicable classifica
tion of schools than that now recommend
ed by the Teachers’ association. It is the
result of the comlnned study, labor, and
wisdom ot learned, experienced and earn
est educator®, and, when indorsed and en
. forced m this county, our schools will be
revolutionized, ai d our educational inter
' < sts receive an unprecetlentcd and ever
living impetus. We bespeak for it the
, immediate and hearty indorsement ot the
County board of education. The wisdom
of this teachers’ movement is so apparent
that we deem it unnecessary to enter upon
a discussion of its merits.
A Change for the Belter.
The firm of Field, McAfee, Tate A Co.,
dissolved by mutual cot sent, last week, and
it: its stead a company of six individuals,
; of which Mr. J. M McAfee is the head, was i
immediately organized, and a new contract:
for convict lalxir was entered into with the .
Governor. This step was taken in order to
promote the best interests of the Marietta ;
aud North Georgia railroad, and we think
| the change a judicious one. Arrangements
have been made with the Governor to
doulde the number of convicts now on the
road, and Colonel Hoskins baa shown his
■ foi»h in the enterprise by advancing the;
money to pay the State for their labor, i
Twentv-five of the convicts will lw tempo-!
mrily employed in mining, but as soon as
the amount of $l(X),000 is raised McAfee I
Co. w ill transAr the entire force to the rail
road Ckßiquay, to be used in prosecuting ■
( the * »rk to completion. If the old sub-|
. -scrihej-K .will.pnly pay up th< ir subscriptions
,o that the firms of Wallis’, Haley & Go.
and Fi I McAfee, Tate & Co. can make
their settlements, no fuither trouble need
be apprehended Such men as Van Wyck,
Kerr, Winter & Whitlock, and others, are
willing to aid by subscription and other
wise to support the project, but they do
not propose to do it all. Let the people
along the line do their dutv, by giving what
they can,and by heartily advocating the
enterprise, and the road’s completion is
assured.
Will Canton Lag Behind ?
Ellijah has a new seminary building about
completed, and a v<*cent meeting there de
veloped a strong educational spirit. Can
ton should not lag behind her ambitious
little rival in such enterprises; she can not
afford it; for mind rules the world, and the
moral power of a community is measured
by its uitellectuality. Its pure water, brac
ing air, cheap living, and moral society,
render Canton unsurpassed as a location for
an acjwlemieor collegiate institution. We
already have one good school, and the nu
cleus of another which bids fair to augment
and prosper; but we greatly need a light,
commodious, comfortable school edifice
one sufficiently capacious to meet prospect
ive demands, which would ornament the
town and entice students from abroad. Ot
course, the teacher’s ability ought to be the
first consideration—-and time was, when
talent could attract throngs to a barn or a
rookery, but that day has passed. Comfort
and convenience are now regarded as in
dispensable accessories, to proper instruc
tion, at least irt tfiG Mghcr walks of learn,
ing, and we arc compelled to take people as*
we find them.
Erect a building of the character indi
cated, put it under the control of an able,
energectic, progressive instructor, and soon
the sons and daughters of Cherokee Geor
gians would be diverted from foreign insti
tutions to reap the educational advantages
off red at home. Then, when its halls teem
with mental activity, and the students, one
aft< r another, complete their course; they
will go forth ns so many advertisements of
Canton—thb best that can be devised. The
instances are numerous, of first-class schools
building up towns and bringing them into
prominence; and wherever you find such
schools, you will also find a strong local
pride which can not be subdued by disaster.
x THE COUNTY.
“Bones,” our IHtlb lour-year-old boy, says
his hat is too short, and he wants a long
one.
Cotton buyers call it “storm cotton” now,
if a shower of rain fell on it before it was
picked.
Last Sunday, Rev. W. G. Hanson preach
ed a couple of sermons, married a couple,
and baptized a couple by immersion.
We regret to learn that the blacksmith
shop of our old friend Harper Haynes, of
this county, caught fire by acci lent, last
Friday, and was burned.
A young man came over to borrow our
buggy for an extra occasion, the other day.
He at first hove a sigh, and mixed along
with his request several long breaths. He
meant business.
Grammar - and - arithmetic schools for
young men should be established over the
county during the approaching winter, and
taught at night. It wouhl be a good way
for the young men to spend the long win
ter evenings.
Our old friend Captain Durham says he
never knew an editor to be bitten by a dog,
and thinks they ought not to be so dog
matical in urging the passage of a dog law.
We intend to write some dog gerel for our
old friend’s benefi', before long; dogged if
we don’t!
At a caraji-meeting in this county, last
summer, some young ladies put salt instead
of sugar into some preachers’ coff-e. Both
of the young ladies have married since
then, and their husbands had best keep the
salt-gourd out of their way, if they want
the light sort of sweet’nin’ in their’u.
We would like to know why marriage
certificates must now contain the age, sex,
color, condition, occupation, time of birth,
the officiating doctor or midwife, the names
of relations, etc., of the parties? We don’t
see the point, and the late requirement
l<H»ks a good deal like tom-fiMilery, We
call the attention of the law-makers to the
tact that white folks are not supposed to
have any color at all.
Mr. O. H. Brewster’s school, at Field’s
chapel, closed on the Ist instant. The
largest number in attendance during the
term was seventy-one, of which forty-niae
were males, and twenty-two females; av
erage attendance, thirty; number over
eighteen years of age, eleven. So far as
the patrons have expressed themselves, they
are Well pleased with the progress of the
pupils and the government of the school.
Mr. Brewster is of opinion Unit, with com
fortable school-houses, it would be best to
have the public Bchools taught in the win
ter season.
A valued correspondent sends us an in
teresting account of the closing exercises
i of Mr. Jeff. Adair’s school, on Shoal creek,
which we are compelled to condense, owing
I to its late arrival. The examination took
' place on Friday, and the scholars displayed
I much proficiency, in. their s'adies. Ad
■ dresses were delivered by Colonel Sharp,
Rev. M. Puckett, and B. F. Payne, Esq.,
! and the ladies served up an excellent din
ner on the occasion. At night the scholars
j gave an exhibition which is said to have
greatly exceedt*! eip«Aatio«s.
i John McCollum, we learn, is down with
! a sore toe, since his flight to Ward's coaling
' ground last week. He frequently enjoys
I bud health of late, and says he gets worse
' every time he gets better, and has been get- j
• ling no better fast for several months past .
He often fiiScr? with a para is the spine of I
i his back, aud sometimes feels like every
breath will be the next. lie hurt his arm
: in both places by a fall, not long ago; and
has had so many ailments that be feels that
, he is growing older every day, and thinks,
■ if he lives much longer, that he will be a
good deal older than he is now.
1 Walesca.
! I write you a few lines concerning Wa
lesca, that people may know there is such
; a place, and that it is of no little impor
-1 tance.
Walesca is situated eight miles west of
Canton, at the crossing of the Canton and
Pine Log, and Cartersville and Jasper
roads.
It has one store, owned by Colonel Sharp,
whi< h has a large and well-selected stock
of general merchandise, and is sold low
down for pay-down..
It has one blacksmith shop, which, in a
few days, will be superintended by William
Warlick, son of Mr. Warlick of Gilmer
county, the patentee of the celebrated War
, pek & Spillman hillside turner.
William Kelly, a splendid shoemaker,
has recently erected a comfortable shop»
where he is now prepared to prosecute bis
' trade to the tune of about four pairs a day.
Mr. P. M. llollcn of Virginia, an accom
, plished carpenter and cabinet-maker, has
• built a neat residence near the store, and is
, ready to do work with neatness and dis
! patch.
The Southern Methodists have a very
j good church building one mile from the
store, with a membership of about one
hundred and forty. In sight of the church
is a new camp-ground, with a very good
arbor and eight new tents.
The Universalists also have a church
about half a mile off.
There is a school-house within three hun
dred yards. Miss Nettie Stanford, from
Bartow county, taught our public school,
and, so far as I know, has given general
satisfaction. Her exhibition came off last
( Wednesday, and was very creditable. Col.
, Sharp delivered a very pointed and prac
. tical address at the close of the school. He
• is always ready, by word and deed, to en
, courage a good cause, and to aid in any
, thing which has a tendency to improve the
moral, mental, or agricultural interests of
the community.
! W. C. Atherton & Co. are successfully
running a splendid cotton factory on Shoal
creek, two miles from Walesca. The pres
ent capacity of the factory is about seventy
five bunches of thread per day. In con
r nection with the factory arc saw and grist
mills and a wool-carder.
We have a lodge of Good Templars, with
about ninety members.
Our people are sober, quiet, and industri
ous, and are surrounded by land as fertile
as any on the globe. Within half a mile is
the celebrated ucre on which Thos. Smith,
’ a few years ago, raised one hundred and
four bushels of corn. Bvuen.
