The - Cherokee Georgian B. F. TAYLOR, Local Editor. Canton, CC-<sl_ WEDNESDAY, - OC TOBER 27, 1875. MAIL TIME-TABLE. The mail leaves Canton for Marietta or Monday and Friday of each week, at 8 a. m. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays and Sat unlays, at 4 p. in. Canton line to Dawsonville leaves every Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re turns Thursday, 4 p. m. Fruit hos advanced in this market. Ap pk-s are quoted at cents ; peaches, 6^ 2 . Mr. David Rusk of Lick Skillet district •was recently married to Miss Georgia Mer ritt. Considerable pork has bee n brought to town recently, finding ready sale at ten cents per pound. Corn is coming in. slow iy, and brings sixty-five cents. Mr. James A. Stevens, Master of Can ton Masonic lodge, and Mr. C- M. McClure, Master of Sixes lodge, have gone to Macon, to attend the Grand lodge. Services were held in the Baptist church on Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Tuggle preached on the morning of each day, and Mr. A. Keeter discoursed on Sunday night. Among the students who have recently ponw. to Canton to attend school we notice P. P. DuPxee and David Hardin of Wood stock, 11. B. Brannan of Hickory Flat, and T. R. Nesbit of Milton county. 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. fc > .... Coiiununieatml. List Sunday week the Uni >n Sunday-] school in this place was reorganized, withal view to increasing its < fllciency and hanno- 1 nixing the religious com nunity. The town I 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 p- r, I am aware, but I have been cons'rain-1 cd to write this, as I learn that another] school will be organized next Sum’ iy, andl TtrarJl wifi disturb the harnfnny so csscn I ti»l to the success of tlw Union school. Le« u« lay aside all petty bickerings and envil <»u« fivlings, and str.ve to work unitedly foil the good of Christianity. Clericus. 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.

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. Mica, Georgia. 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. Buren. In Menioriani. 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.

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.
