Services were held in the Baptist church

There is some talk of starting a Council
of United Friends of Temperance in Can’on.
This Order, we understand, advocates mor
al suasion as the only true basis of temper
ance reform, and makes the pledge of absti
nence binding only upon pr< sent members.
The- Clarion says that Cumming has
turned out about one four-wheeled vehicle
to each inhabitant of that place, during the
past twelve months. Canton will soon
have an opportunity of d -ing the same
thing, if proper encouragement is extended.
John M. McConnell has d< t< rtnined to erect
a wagon-shop here, and ids suncrior work*
manship should ensure him liberal patron
age.
A Good Joke. —A drunk in m, it is said,
'got on the train at CaSs Station, recently,
and when the conductor called on him for
his ticket, he replied that he had n >ne, but
would pay the money. “Where are you
going?’asked the conductor. “To hell,”
was the reply. “Make him pay thirty-five
cents,” said the President of the road, who
happened to be presen’, “and put him otl
at Carters lie !”
Nine persons have died in Canton since
the first of July. Os these, throe w< re in
fants, who died from disease incident to
their tender.years, and. three were very old
people, who lived until worn out. As
many deaths in a brief space never before
occurred here,; and ye* the utilises of d> ath
were such as are found ever y where, and the
unusual fdahty militates not against the
claim that Canton is a healthy place, andg
exempt from epidemics.

school in this place was reorganized, withal
view to increasing its < fllciency and hanno- 1

is too small tn properly support two such I
schools, arid in this cause, as in others,
there is strength in union. The cardinal
principles inculcited in this s' liool are ac
cepted by members of all lienominations as
true; why should not all join heartily in
siutalning it ? Touts is not a religions pa-I

Our proposal historical sketch of Chcr-I
oket County will be begun in two or three]
weeks, and will run through a dozen or!
mure niqnbj rs <>(, The Georgian. Wei
shall endeavor to make these papers
of preservation in the family of every]
subscriber in the county. They will em-l
brace an account of oifr Indian predece»-|
sors, nnd of the customs, habits, and char- 1
HCterisfies of the early settlers; will give!
short biographical notices of prominent!
reHiJents of the coiintj-, past and present;!
and contain inf rmation regarding tnin- 1
ing Aud industrial interests, together with I
such statistics as bear upon the subject. Ini
currying out our purpose, wedesire citizens!
ot each district In the county to furnish us]
with all the facts in their possession of the!
kind indicated above, so that the history of]
each district may be full and complete.
t MT— ——
An impression exists in the minds of]
some that a newspaper is bound to publish]
anything which may be. prepared for its]
columns by accommodating friends, but it |
is a mistake. We do not, in general, care
for comin*mientions on subjects which are
of little practical benefit, and create no in-'
tervst in the reader. Wc want short, pithy
articles uu suljects, such as education,
agriculture, public enterprises, and the
Ike; but we most desire items of news from
every portion ol the county--birtlis, deaths, 1
Marriages, accidcute; changes, improve
ments, discoveries, inventions—everything, i
in Net, which would prove of general in- j
tervst, mere ise the usefulness of our jMper,
and nt. nd Its influence. We are not par- •
Uvular m to the composition of the coutri-;
tatious; the naked facts are all that is
BCceM»*rv to be stated, and we can expand .
cr con ’vuse, according to circumstances. |
How Many There are of Us.
We have had the census of Canted taken,
and have discovered that it is not as large
as Atlanta, at present, though a big city
looms up before our vision in the distance.
The figures wc give will surprise some on
account of their smallness, but we have
truth to subserve rather than local vanity.
It would be easy to puff up our numbers
o twice the true size, as is generally done
by the Press, and the outside world would
not detect it; but we wish to mark an era
in the history of Canton, from which will
late a constant growth, in inhabitants, in
lustrics, and importance.
The total number of inhabitants is 311,
mbracedin fifty-eight families, and divided
>.3 follows:
Male, hemale. g * 18.
Whitel3l 126 ?> 1
Coloredl2s 28 21

As to condition in life, there are 49
married couple, 3 widowers, 12 widows, 29
marriageable young men, 15 marriageable
young women, 1 bachelor, 1 maid. As to
occupation, there are-5 lawyers, 2 doctors,
3 preachers, 4 teachers, 6 merchants, 2
printers, 2 painters, 2 tinners, 2 shoemakers,
2 tanners, 3 blacksmiths, 1 cabinet-maker,
6 carpenters, 4 bricklayers, 1 brick maker,
2 plasterers, 2 boarding-houses, 11 farmers,
2 chair makers, i tailor, 2 tailoresscs.
And this is believed to be an accurate
statement of our population and pursuits,
October 25, 1875. What will be our con
dition five years hence? Our prosp- cts are
flattering indeed for a thriving, bustling
town, if no misfortune befalls us ; and then
we can cast our -eyes back to the figur s
above presented, and. viewing the gratify
ing contrast, thank God and take courage.
Oljtuarjr.
, Departed this life, at Tilton, Georgia, on
Thursday morning, October 21, 1875, Mrs.
Mary O. Cain, wife of Mr. Joseph M. Mc-
Afee, in the thirty-second year of her age.
A deep sadness pervaded the community
when the news was received of Mrs. Mc-
Afee’s death. Only a few days before she
had left us to pay a short visit to a sister,
and enjoy much-needed rest, and there she
was stricken down with typhoid pneumo
nia, which, preying upon her weakened
constftution, quickly ended her existence.
As the news went round, there were none
untouched with grief, and none who did
not feel and express hearty sympathy for
the husband and the five young children
whom death had so cruelly b< rest.
Mrs. McAfee was a good woman, in cv
cry respect. Prepossessing all by her quiet
demeanor, her kind actions, and moral
beauty, acquaintance with her but con
firmed and heightened first impressions.
She was an affectionate wife and mother;
a charitable neighbor; a warm friend; a
devout Christian. There is a void in the
family circle which will be difficult to fill ;
but the memory of the departed one’s vir
tues will ever abide.
The funeral took p’ace on Saturday, and
a large number of friends and relativ-s at
tended the remains of the deceased to their
last resting place. The Good Templars
ofilciated on the occasion, and performed
the burial rites of the Order at the grave.
Wlu» Hants a Stove?
Read the advertisement of Seay Bros.,
who keep a large assortment of cooking and
other stoves. Wc examine) their stock
while in Rome recently, and can safely say
that their wares compare favorably with
! the very best, and are offered at prices to
siul the times. We have ordered one of
i their “Cherokee” cooking stoves, which is
i a great favorite and sells rapidly. lr any of
I our friends wish a good, cheap and durable
stove, and will call on ns or leave their or
' ders at this office, we will have them sup
pik'd. These stoves are warranted not to
crack in heating ; ami when any part burns
j vu , it can be duplicated at small cost.
OVER THE COUNTY.
Cotton is up—in the gin-house.
Potatoes are doiyn—imlhe cellar.
Our friend Tom Smith, Jhq., has rented
Col. Guerin’s farm on the river for five
years.
Fanners have been very busy, the past
few days, gathering their corn and sowing
wheat.
A man drew a bottle on a Goo 1 Templar,
not a thousand miles from here, the other
.. ~
Our friend J. P. McConnlel has recently
built a very neat cottage two miles from
Cherokee Mills.
There is a man at Acworth who says he
will give fifteen cents tor cotton—will pay
that much fur a bale.
There are five Masonic lodges in this
county; one at Canton, Hickory Flat,
Ohir, Little River and Sixes.
i Look out f>r horse-thieves ! On Sunday
i night, we are infirnicd,, Willie Gothard, on
Little river, lost a valuable horse, saddle
i and bridle.
, Cur friends, Jerome and George Boston
have manufac’ured five hundred gallons of
syrup this season. Jerome thinks he can
afford to sop both sides of his bread now.
Col. E. E. Field is ginning his cotton
with a steam engine, and its shrill whistle
wakes the echoes along the river. Il is the
first steam- power that was ever in the
’ neighborhood.
We notiee t|iat a number mile posts on
various rotfilsvirv the county have lately
been effaced or destroyed. Whipping posts
would be good institutions to punish such
i unmitigated meanness.
A friend of ours went home tight one
night, not long since, and said, “Wife, git
(hi< ) supper, and we will all go (h'c) home!
Kill a chicken? No; don’t; for they are
all sick with the (hie) cholera infantum!”
Wl.cn a man determines to build a fine
house lie should consult an architect or
some one who has traveled. We had rather
have the.fumber that is in four-fifths of the
houses in the county than to own the build
ings.
There are two bullet-proof men on the
Etowah river, whose names are William
and Irving Hubbard. During the war, the
one was shot through the head, and the
other through the chest. They are both
stout men now.
Shoal Creek Factory is run by an enter
prising company, and it will be the means
of causing “Lost Town” to be found, no
doubt, before long, as we noticed the other
day that several signboards have been put
up pointing in that direction.
Mr. J. G. Young discovered an car of corn
in his crib, the other day, which had eigh
»ccn distinct rows of seeds, and contained
eleven hundred and eighty kernels. The
latter fact gives color to the suspicion that
the corn was a relic of the war.
Wc passed our friend Rube McKinney as
we went to Acworth the other day, and as
he was on a top load of cotton we watched
him for some time to See if he would not
fall otf and furnish us a good item for our
nnper, bun he refused to fall, and we were
disappointed.
I He was at a certain church in this count}*
I last summer; and had on a linen coat of
■ spotless white. Happening to look down,
I and forgetting what manner of coat he had
lon, and thinking it was his shirt, he slyly
| and carefully stuffed it in his pants and did
| not notice the mistake until his attention
I was called to it by a friend during inter-
I mission.
We saw a neighbor carrying a load of
| cotton worth one hundred and twenty-five
I dollars to the railroad, the other day, to
I pay for guano. If he will spend that much
| money uud tune that he has lost in going to
I the railroad for guano and in hauling cot
llon to pay for it, for home-made fertilizers
I next winter, we will guarantee a larger crop
I and more clear money.
I All the young men who went to the
I late war from the western portion of
■ the county returned, we believe, except
I James Leonard and Henry Beam, who were
■ killed. This fact, we think, is remarkable,
I when it is remembered that those young
I men were among the firat to enlist, and to
■ remain in the army, almost without an ex
leeption tmti! the Surrender.
Last year Colonel Tom Hutcherson tried
lan experiment in planting cotton on the
ISalacoa. He manured and thoroughly pre-
■ pared four ami a halt acres of land; on
■ three acres he planted co’ton, and, culti
■vating well, be managed by picking every
■boll to realize $69 from the crop. On the
■other acre and a half he set out tobacco,
■and, with the same degree of cultivation
■that the cotton received, he realized |250
■from the patch. Cotton culture, with the
■Colonrl, is now a thine of the post.
Wulesca Notes.
u A doctor is expected soon to locate at
■ this place.
The wife of T. R. Moss died on the Ist
I instant, in child-birth.
ft W. T. Smith, W. C. Harmon, and others,
■ have left with us specimens of leaf tobacco
I which we think are of extra quality.
" The revenue hunters have made several
i arrests in the last few flays. We hope the
day will soon come when our people will
cease from the error of tLeir ways.
A little girl six years old, daughter of Mr.
M. Puckett, is remarkably precocious. The
other day, after having read The Geor
qtAN,she remarked; “Papa, I really do
j like that paper.”
Our friend William Cline presented us
with some very large cabbage-heads, the
other day. lie says that be has raised some
that would not go into a flour-barrel.
, Pretty large cabbage, we think.
We were truly sorry to learn of the
j death of Captain Crosier’s little boy, and
can say, with truth, that the family has our
deep-felt sympathy in their severe affliction.
We hope their apparent loss will prove a
blessing in disguise.
Notes from Pickens.
Correspondence of The Georgian.
As the people are troubled very little
with reading anything from this part o'
North Georgia, I propose to give them a
aw lines through the columns of Fhe
Jkorgian, if you will allow it.
Your paper comes regularly to this office,
ind is appreciated as a welcome messen
ger. 1 congratulate the people of Chero
kee on having a paper in their midst which
'O ably represents the interests of their
county.
The weather is now fine, and people an
very busily engaged in picking cotton,
niak ing sorgh uin, etc.
There has been some excitement in the
northeast corner of Cherokee county, on
account of the retailing of spirituous
liquors at Shiloh camp-meeting Some of
the accused parties fled from justice. One.
however, was arrested, and brought before
a justice’s court for trial. Mr. B. F. Payne
was employed as counsel for the defendant,
and he labored faithfully in the examina
tion of witnesses, making a telling speech
at the close, which convinced the Squire
that the defendant was innocent.
Pickens Superior court was in session
five days last week.
Thomas Arwoo l, who recently sol 1 out
at Field’s bridge,’will commence business
at this place about the first of November.
The Baptist camp meeting at Four-tnile
creek closed on the 6th instant. Quite a
number of the clergy were present. Pick
ens, Gilmer, Cherokee, and Dawson, were
represented. The venerable Alfred Webb,
who has been in the ministry more than
half a century, preached with his usual
earnestness, to a large and attentive audi
ence. There were nine or ten accessions to
the church. Logia.

Communicate l.
For the gratification of J. R. P., who
propounds the query in The Georgian of
the 20th, 1 answer that his Texas pony man
is right side up. Through great tribulation
and much vexation, he emerged from the
mountains of Union, Fannin, and Gilmer,
and reached the Broad and fertile plains of
Walesca, after an absence of twelve days.
Brother P.’s wife took a great fancy to the
pony, and is, no doubt, anxious to hear
something from him. At ’he last report,
he was qui -tl.y resting in a green pasture
on the banks of the Toccoa, his obi hoofs
coming off, and new ones growing that will
not need to be picked with a knife, or pull
ed with tongs, to keep the preacher from
making fifty cents by riding him into Elli
jay. I wish Brother P. could get a few
jobs of that kind, to make some reparation
for bis small receipts in the way cf quar
terage. It was not stinginess in me, as
Brother P. intimates, that deprived him of
the pleasure of riding into town ; for, not
withstanding the deep sympathy I felt for
Brother P. (having a few days before been
with him in one quarterly conference,
where his share was meager indeed). I en
tertained such high respect for him and the
position which he occupied, that I thought
it better for him to fail to realize fifty cents
on that occasion than to lower himself in
the estimation of the people who would
necessarily have seen him, and thus wc iken
his influence and thin out his congregation,
when he filled his app ointment to pi each.

S id was the voice that brought the news
of the death of Mrs. J. M. McAfee, who de
parted this life in Tilton, away from her
home. A kind mother, an affectionate
wife, a loving daughter, a zealous Templar,
a friend of poverty, an heir ol Christ, sleeps
in Jesus. As a tribute to h< r memory, Can
ton Lodge, I. O. G. T., presents the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, a merciful and just God has, in
inscrutable wisdom, seen fit to take our be
loved sister from among the living: be it
resolved,
1. That, while death has robbed our Or
der of one of its purest, brightest jewels, our
circle upon earth Iw.s been broken but to
add another shining link to the Templars’
chain in Heaven, and Canton Lodge has
sent an unquestioned d< legate to .the Great
Grand Lodge of the Universe.
2. That, while we deeply mourn her loss,
we pledge ourselves, around this sacred al
tar. to try to meet again our departed sister.
3. That we lender our hearth It sympa
thy to thebereaved husband, mother, sisters,
and. relations, and invoke heaven’s blessings
and protection on five precious motherless
children.
4. That these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes, and a copy of the same be pre
sented to the family4>f the deceased; and
The Chki.okee Georgian, Cumming
Clarion, Marietta Journal, and Sunny
South lie requested to publisu the same.

THE GREAT EVENTS OF THE
COMING YEAR.
No man or family should be without a
new paper. It is the most intelligent and
entertaining visitor to any household, and is
the best of all educators. Besides this ad
mitted tact, tin re are now additional rea
sons for subscribing to a good newspaper.
Perhaps no year of the last half century
furnished a greater combination of Impor
tant and Thrilling Events than will the year
approaching The Presidential contest, the
Gubernatorial election, the Centennial and
other Great Events transpire. As in the
pjtst, so in the future,
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION,
Published at the Capital ot the State, will
be foremost in the Chronicling of all News,
Political, Commercial, Agricultural, Relig
ious, of Legislatures and Conventions. A
Democratic Journal, it is Independent of
all Political or Personal Influences, and is
Free to devote itself to the Best Interests of
the People of Georgia and the South. It
is accepted throughout the Union as the
Representative Paper of the State. The
Constitution is known as
THE PEOPLE’S PAPKU.
It has attained a prosperity as such, second
to no paper in the South. As a Family
Journal, containing Political and Literary
Reading, General News, Stories and Poetry,
Humor, and Practical Information, it is
popular in many States. Additional fea
tures of interest have lately been added,
making it a still more welcome visitor to
every home.
The Constitution, having i>een the means
of opening up North Georgia to the people
of this country as never before done, is now
organizing an Expedition for the Explora
tion of the Great
OKEFENOKEE SWAMP,
the terra incognita of Georgia. Several
months will be devoted to the work, which
will be of service to the State, and mark an
era in its history. Subscriptions should be
made at once to secure full reports of this
Expedition, which will furnish mostvalua
able information and rich adventures.
A marked feature of The Constitution
w:l> be its Department of
humorous reading,
original and selected. No pains will be
spared to make it equal in this respect to
any newspaper in the country. In fine, the
Grave and the Gay, the Useful and the En
tertaining, wiil be presented to its readers.
Upon a basis of assured prosperity, it will lie
able to fully execute all its undertakings.
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE.
The Daily Constitution is furnished, pos
tage paid, at $10.60 per annum, $5.30 tor
