Dtd he : I ‘ J. R. P. I 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 turn deserves another,” he then applied his own brogan the same number of tiniest? his iriend ; after which they went slowly 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.

It thundered while he was on the way, and they docked his cotton ten pounds. We saw, a number of the chain-gang picking cotton, the other clay, near Canton. They seemed to understand the lick it is done with. Mrb. Milwood, wife of Hughey Milwood, Woodstock, died last Friday, after a sick ness of several months, aged about six’y five years. There is not a grog-shop in the county. Now’, let nice churches and academies be built in their stead, and all the people will be benefited by the change. We have made some nice, pure wine from flie'julde of thd grape. Our churches sjiould all use this, kind for sacramental purposes, instead of the adulterated stuff usually found in liquor shops. We understand there is a man in this -.equity- who says he will wbiji his son if he joins the Good Templars.

A certain doctor and preacher, who once lived ju this county, suddenly stopped on one occasion, and said : “I must step qut- a . minute. Brother Anderson- sing something till I come back, but don’t sing ‘On Jordan’s stormy banks;’ I want to close on that!” 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. . . Sn.no time-ago, a la J in. this county was milking a cow that refused to “let down the milk ” Our you ng’friend struck her across the loins wi.h a small stick, and exclaimed, “La ! how she does pour down the milk now.” “No wonder,” said bis little brother, w-lro was standing by, “for you have broke her holding-back straps!” 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 have discovered that “Jerusalem oak,” a well-known weed, which is the base ci? all worm medicines, is a good thing for (aliening hogs. Give k to-them freely,and it w ill free them from kidney-worms, which Is the difficulty, in nine cases out of ten, when hogs are unhealthy and fail to fatten. jtaH'c years ago we put up ten young hogs, fed them on corn boiled with a few ashes, add gave them plenty of Jerusalem oak, Mid when killed, they averaged 258 pounds Zch. / ■ A young Irishman found a pumpkin in our field, the other day, and undertook to esU itg AVe asked him how he iiked it. ‘ Not at all, at all,” he replied; “it is not good raw.” Another’Irishman, with a bundle on his back called on us, one day, and we gave him a walnut, and told him to eat it. He pul it into his mouth, and after several ineffectual attempts to crack it, exclaimed, “Faith, I cannot get it open.” Wr. then gave him a stone, and told him to place the nut on another and strike it. lie del ibcrately raised the stone as high as his head, and Jet 4t violently dojvo oh the wal nut, which was scattered in every direction.

Tire day was unfa vorable, but there was a good attendance nolwill»»tiUiding, and the exercises reflected credfft upon both scholars and teachers. Oar friend F. Wilkie, who lives near Or ange, is a remarkable man. lie was 77 years old last week, and had just returned from the woods where be had been sawing board timber, as a friend passed that way. He sail be had sawed his son out of wind. That is pretty good for a man of his age, when we consider that his son is stout and vigorous. On the Will instant, Walesca Lodge No. 421, L O. G.

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.
