“And you are thinking of changing your

settling among strangers?”
“That is my intention ; I see no help for
it.”
We saw in this a good text for a prac
tical sermon, and we preached from it: 2
“Lei-us reason together on this subject, ’
we began. “You are an old man now ; the
prime of your life has been spent among
these mountains; here your children were
born, and here some of them lie buried;
you arc surrounded by kind, warm-hearted ’
. ngijildior?, - whom years of acquaintance
have taught you to love, and with whom
you have spent the happiest hours of yotlr
existence; you have enjoyed the blessinc
of health, which none but a climate likp
ours can assure: what will you gain
leaving these familiar scenes, sundering thte
social ties that have bound you with kind
ness, and seeking new associations in a
s’rangc land? Your lease of life, at bes|,'
is nearly run out; but, were you a young
man, would the hazardous venture result
happily ? The soil of the western ■count!#'
is ricsCr>ithout 'doubt,'but an afllmdartt
the so l ; and besides, if a man can nqt
make p living in the land of his biftli,
wltere lie is known and appreciated, with
what reason c m he expect to better his
condition by going among strangers, in h
region remote from markets, and destitute
of many of the comforts you now enjoy,
and where pills and powders are nccessaiy
articles of diet ? Why, you knew the Free
man family, who emigrated from this coun
ty to Arkansas six years ,ago» After yuffet
ing-with bad fortune for some time, they
sickened, one after another, until nine have

Can you point to an instance of such fatal

pure water ami mountain air fi rbid sutii
an occurrence, and it is an absolute faqt
that individuals in this county have- lived
so long as to become t’red of life. The
truth is, that Industry, Thrift, and Pcrse

but there is a class of people who are striv
ing to evade the divine command, “By tlip
swea l of thy face shalt thou earn thy
bread,” and by so doing they become rest
less, dissatisfied spirits, cut loose from hom<|,
travel toward the setting sun, sink into thfc
wilderness, and fill out their liyes w ith re
pining*. No, no. old man; don’t leave thfe
old homestead, with all its pleasant ana’

An Antediluvian.
We have discovered an individual whip
drtesp’t >n. ra ilro>ds ; He is.an antd
diluvfah, who, by someMuysfelions agehey,
has been dropped upon the heels ot the
1 Nineteenth century to hasten its progresj.
He views with dismay the bustling activity
I around him, and sighs for the “good oljl
I times,” away yonder, before the locomotive
awakened the world. We would not rob
him of his pleasant recollections, but would
rather pluck the sting from his regrets.
Whatever may be asserted by the cynics oj
believed by tTie Sttt'ecfiinvians, the world im
proves, mentally and morally, as the agejp
succeed each other, and is better to-day
than ever before. “The good old times
is a picture of Memory, highly colored by
Imagination, ’which the light of Truth
makes ugly. In those days, people genet-,
ally lived in small communities, secluded
from the rest of mankind, and led quiet,
contented, snail-like lives, Jrom birth tp
d ath. Nop'd igogue “drained the young
-idea,” no hrc’qyy indtSHiiowiUotes,
no newspaper brought the world to home;
the markets, thin, were far away, and tile
products of the soil were comparatively
valueless. What did they live for ? Sini-’
ply to work to live, and live to work,
b< asts of burden To be sure, they wetfe
contented ; but contentment is rust, and
rust is destruction. They never suffered'
for.the neq'ssariqafJ life, U>r one nemlfijifr
\vaK wxlcolieto what the other bad: but
they lived in the present, and left their
posterity to take .care of themselves.
Just
its fffmtnd
what grand transformations it wrought!.
No wonder the antediluvians were struck
with awe as they saw their ancient customs
vanish, their quiet nooks invaded, the vast
forests around them leveled, and heard the
strange voices of advanced civilization, .is
the locomotive penetrated the wilderness 1
Quiet, and content, and antiquated ideas
were swept away together, but in their
places sprang comfort, and refinement, anil
picntal progreseidn. Tipple began to think
1< sS of self and more of humanity ; and so,
have
from semi-barbarism to civil zation, froih
civilization to enlightenment. Methuselah
was the oldest in years of any individual
mentioned by history; but life has been
so condensed, in economy of time, abrid.4
ment of space, and extended knowled:.4,
that even the school-boy of to-day is the'
equalMn of tfiat aged awtuliluvian,
his Stfpenorln leifrimg, Ancfenjoys fully as
much of real life. The antediluvian may
mourn over the havoc which time and
railroads have made in his cherished na
tions, but the world has reached a higher
plane, where the past is forever buried and
the bright future only kept in view.
’Crumble at a Concert.
During the war ’Crombie had charge of
a waiom ntyj-. team, an|l, while in AJ>aeoi>,
the follies of that city, in making arrange
ments tor a musical entertainment, em
ployed him and one of his “comrades in
arms” to haul the pianos, seats, and other
necessary furniture for the occasion, prom
ising to compensate them for their service®
by giving them free tickets. ’Crombie and
his friend performed the w >rk assigned
them in good f iith, and, when the day ar
rived, they received their tickets and went
in to the concert. But ’Crombie discovered,
after
cmmrfrnV’c, thr.t was sold';
for he d-dares that they did nothing bitt
play on the piano and sing! Becoming
disgusted with the whole affair, he hunched
bis friend, and they indignantly left the
house. When out of doors, ’Crombie said
to his friend : “We both need kicking, and
1 propose that you kick me, and I in returi
will kick you.” ’Crombie then turned

own brogan the same number of tiniest?

back to camp.
Burn the Woods.
There is no estimating the less which
the people of this country sustain in neg
lecting to burn the woods. The policy of
allowing the undergrowth to grow up int?
thickets around the plantations, and in th|
forest, is productivxLoCnrany. exite and ini
t o'srass and
j prevents it from grow ing; furnishes a han
bor for snakes and insects; makes it diffi»
cult to get timber for firewood and othef
purposes; and Dr. Fort declares that thi
vegetable matter which accumulates from
I year to year in the country, and left to def
' c .y, is the prolific source of disease in the
form of typhoid fever and various other
malarious disorders. Bum the woods irt
the spring after the sap is up, thereby kill
ing the undergrowth, and afterwards keep
Ike leaj-u . front di.rsv|np on, the grma-1
' where tlAlyl itfe*h4Vtr aewhtdf by hauling
them out, composting them with lime, and
I putting them on the land you cultivate;
‘ and the gain realized in many ways will
be great.

We saw a man, the other day, trying to
.work a horse and an ox together; but they
wouldn’t work ■worth a cent. The law of
Moses forbade tlie working of a horse and
an ass together, and it seems to us that it is
as degrading to work a horse \yjib an ox as
with an ass.

We advise all our fellow-farmers to build
. barns. There is no telling how much they
nffght save by having some gbod, dry place
to.shelter everything they make. Build a
barn, if it is only a small one, and shed it
around for all your stock. The secret of
success is, to make all you can and save all
you make, but you cannot save your crops
without a barn. Build barns

We hope our farming friends will man
age to make their own fertilizers next year.
We find at this season a general rush to get
up cotton to pay guano debts. No matter
whether good crops are made or not, the
guano must be pki I for, and great incon
venience and sacrifice result. We can,
and ought to by all means, make our own
guano at home. Hundreds of dollars could
be made every winter by attending to the
barn-yard, and properly housing the ma
nure from the weather. If we will only
use a little more economy, be more indus
trious, make our own supplies, and keep
out ot debt, hard times would soon become
a forgotten stranger.
Woodstock.
As many other places of more or less
prominence in the county have been por
trayed through the columns of your excel
lent paper, it may be a timely occasion to
write up Woodstock. This task for the
present has boen urged on the writer. I
shall only make a beginning, and leave it
to be continued by some ot your “dot-giv
ers” who have the quill-driving efficiency.
The first depot on the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad is located at this
place, being just - half-way between Mari
etta and Canton. The town is beautifully
laid off in a magnificent oak grove. A
number of town lots have been sold, and
two store-houses have been built and are
now occupied. Three dwellings and' a
blacksmith shop are now-ia course of erec
tion. > -
We are flanked by three streams, riot
more than one and a half miles distant,
each of which possesses fine water-power,
and operates various kinds of machinery,
—the Woodstock cotton factory, for in
stance.
We have good church and school-houses
convenient, and society as good as can be
found in any neighborhood along the line
of road. The men are as clever, the wo
men as lovely, and the children as smart, as
anybody’s.
The surrounding lands are productive,
and cultivated by thrifty, energetic farmers.
Mineral deposits have been discovered
within a quarter of a mile of the depot,
whicti are thought to be very valuable!
Property is increasing in value as the
railroad approaches completion, and we
anticipate a thriving village and lively
trading-point, as soon as we hear the
whistle blow. T. N. D.
To the Editors of The Georgian :
Your Walesca friend with the Texas po
ny agreed to pay fifty cents to have his
dangerous (?) steed ridden into Ellijay ; but
when he found that I was willing (being
accustomed to work for small pay), he
grew uneasy, pecked pony’s feet with his
knife, hammered the nails, and got a pair
of tongs to pull the shoe oft. A friend,
seeing his troubles, lent him a horse, which
my employer mounted, and led the pony in
by a back street, thereby causing me to
lose fifty cents. P.

to buy goods, to call and see his new stock
before buying elsewhere, as he is deter
mined to sell as low as any other man, and
will give as much for country produce.
His motto is, “Short profitsand quick sales.”
He would also inform the public gener
ally that Dr. J. II SPEIR will continue in
the practice of medicine at his old stand.

THE CURRICULUM ’
embraces a thorough course of the English,.
Latin, Greek, and German language; the

United States Military Academy Courae-pf
Mathematics, and a Practical Busing*;
Course. Special attention is given to Note

THE SYSTEM OF TEACHING
discards in toto the memoriter and rigidly

Progress.
THE RECITATIONS
arc always lively, awakening and delightfliK
to young men w’ho earnestly desire to get a
solid and progressive education in the
shortest time and at the least possible iGfc
pense. Only a small number of young
will be admitted, and to them the Principal
will give every needed attention. Yooog
men who have time or money to ttorW
away—who do not mean to study for’
love and use of it—are not wantecL

tary, its population quiet, industriotiP, gw- w
erous, and highly moral —just the piaeir»*>
