Henry Cofpagb has started a meat mar ket in town —a convenience which should be supported. - ♦—»—< Several interesting communicationsj have been unavoidably crowded out pl this Imqc, but will appear next week. The convicts have been employed to <ood grading and improving during the past week. Some of our exchanges, in condensing local items from these columns, uninten tionally distort facts. Brevity is commend able, but not at the expense of truth. In our last issue we inadvertently chron icled a wedding as occurring in October, instead of September; but it was not a bad error, after all, for marrie d life only begins 1a earnest after the honeymoon.

October 30 ; for Can ton 31- _ t t 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 haye business to commit to an attorney in A€aita. __ 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 ton in December. His purpose is to estab lish a li vuy stable, and otherwise contrib ute to the town’s enterprise. He will meet a hearty welcome. The Georgia commissioner of agricul ture says thd farmers lose more than two millions of dollar? annually by the injudi cious purphase .anxl use of fertilizers. In Cherokee’county there seems Io be a gen eral disposition to rely entirely upon home-. j»adc manures and thorough manipulation 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 mains were interred in the cemetery al this place on T ues lay. The law Ward of our young friend D. D. McConnell ftiny be seen in another column. Downs is a rising young lawyer at Ac worth, is doing a good business, and, if any of our friends need legal assistance and will employ him, he will stick to them as long as there is a dollar in their pockets, and a little longer, if neccs-ary. He is full of energy and pluck, and always wins if he can. Janka Brooks, a lad of fifteen, was con victed at the September term (1874) of Pickens Superior court, of involuntary jmanslaughtcr, and sentenced to the peni tentiary for two years. The evidence lead ing to his conviction was entirely cjrcuiq •tantial. Young Brooks and his alleged victim, another lad, were alone in a cabin ; itherc was a gun in the 1011, and it is now ibclteved that the boy killed met his death In attemptingjto take the weapon from its treating-place; but Brooks, tearing that he Would be charged with the deed, concealed the body, and this feet, together with the conflicting stories it prompted him to tell, caused his conviction. He has been in the chtin-g&ng for the past thirteen months, •n<i a “trusty” all of the time but ten days. His father, John Brooks, who now lives in .this county, is making an effort for his son’s pardon, which, under the circumstances, We hope the Governor will grant. Personal. We had the pleasure, the other day, of an introduction to the beautiful, accent plished and interesting lady of Prof. J. U. Vincent, of our town. She expresses her •btfdclighted with Canton and its people, and our beautiful mountain country gener ally. W e ho’H* that the Professor and his fair young bride wjll become permanent citixcjw ui Canton, and that they will never Yegrct Casting their lot with us. Last Saturday we had the pleasure of a visit from Captain Mark E. C«x>per, son of Major Marl; A. Cooper of Bartow county. ! Captain Cooper is au Intelligent and socia young mau, and is cak uhued to make ; friends wherever be gm a. He made a pt'- I drstrHn rent through our county last week. ’ He has a practical turn of mind, like his Artirigvwhcd ami venerable father, and < good use yf his time by gathering ■ uaetui iulonnstium during his hours of rec. nmtkm and pleasure. We will be ph toW Bfru often in our town and ssmtum. 1 *’ Tlie Teffehcrs’-Ass<>cba4to!tv' * 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. The -books adopted on Orthography are Swinton’s and Watson’s Script spellers, and .Westlake's 3 000. Practice words ; on Reading, Watson's Independent series throughout ; on Writing, the Spencerian throughout; on Geography, Monteith, v ith Houston’s Physical ; on Mathematics, Rob inson’s throughout; on English grammar, Btillions’s Introductory and Analytical, and Practical; on Composition and Rhetoric, Hart’s throughout;' on History of the Unit ed Stales, A. H Stephens’s; on Latin, Bul lions Morris’s Grammar and Chase & Stuart’s Classics; on Letter-writing, Com mercial Law and-.Civrl Government, T.own send’s; Martindale’s Natural Philosophy, Lambert’s Physiology, Swinton’s Outlines of History, and Lyman’s Chart; English and American Literature, left for future selection of the committee; Steele’s Four teen Weeks in Geology and Chemistry ; Bryant <SrStratton’s Book-keeping, Haven’s Mental Pnilosophy, Gregory’s Christian Ethics, Hail’s United Slates Constitution; Coppee’s Logic in the Intermediate, and Wilcox’s in the High schools; McElligott’s American Debater, Dana’s Geology in High schools, Gray’s Manual of Botany, Bart lett’® Mechanics, Crosby’s Greek Grammar, Kendrick’s Ollendorf, ar d Thompson’s Na tional. Economy. 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. The proprietors of the Marietta Journal have placed us under obligation for courte sies extended. CANTON PRICE CURRENT.

VINCENT’S SEI ECT HIGH SCHOOL FOR Young & Middle-aged Men WILL OPEN THE REGULAR TERM OF TEN MONTHS . At Canton, Georgia, ON TRE I FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER. i THE CURRICULUM embraces a thorough course of the English, 1 Latin, Greek, and German language; the I Natural, Mental and Moral Sciences ; thd* United States Military Academv Course of Mathematics, and a Practical Business Course. Special attention is given to Note and Letter-writing, Land Surveying, Science of Accounts, Legal Forms and Commercial Law, and the Applied Sciences. THE SYSTEM OF TEACHING discards in toto the memoriter and rigidly enforces the rationale— the reason xchy and wherefore — method. Students are taught to think for themselves. THE TEXT-BOOKS used are the very Vanguards of Scientific Progress. THE RECITATIONS are always lively, awakening and delightful • to young men who earnestly desire to get a solid and progressive education in the shortest time and at the least possible ex pense. Only a small number of young men will be admitted, and to them the Principal will give every needed attention. Young men who have time or money to throw away—who do not mean to study for the love and use of it —are not wanted. CANTON is situated on the banks of the Etowah, twenty-four miles above Cartersville and twenty-five miiej north of Marietta, on the projected Marietta and North Georgia Rail load, is surrounded by beautiful mountain ! scenery, water as pure as gurgles from the i earth, the atmosphere salubrious and salu tary, its population quiet, industrious, gen erous, and highly moral—just the place to do eainest, hard studying. BOARD has been engaged at the just'y popular Canton Hotel and with select families at from $8 00 to $12.50 per month. TUITION invariably five dollars per month. REFERENCES.
