The Cherokee Georgian P. H. BREWSTER, ) Priitops J. J. A. SHARP, f Editors. Canton, Oa., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1875. We Must Go to Work; We endorse fully the letter of Thus. J. Perry, in our last issue, in relation to the navigation of the Etowah liver. We feel that we are all too careless, too indifferent io our own interest. Our people wish to be great and good, wish to be rich and in fluential, but they are not willing to help themselves so to be, not willing to reach forth their strong arms, prefer to sit still and let the country grow if it will; “don’t want the corn unless it is shelled.” We have a wonderful country if it was only developed, and we know of no enterprise better calcu lated to do good than the one spoken of above. We must go to work, we must write and talk, never quit the struggle un til the waters of the Etowah are plowed with steamers, opening up to the people of Cherokee and adjoining counties a market with the outside world for their productions of cotton, grain, timber, marble, iron, cop per, etc. We w'ant to see it, and feel a great interest in the enterprise, we wish to see our country standing on high ground; wk want to hear the shrill whistle ot the engine in our corn fields, we want to see new life infused into the minds of our peo ple, and see them prosperous and happy. To succeed in this enterprise, let the people memoralize Congress through ou* represen tative, Dr. Felton, who we feel will take an active interest in the matter. Now is the time to commence to work, a good start is half the battle. We know that there are men in our midst that will laugh at the idea of running steamers on the Etowah, so it is with all great enterprises. We find croak ers in all ages and countries; to such we would say get out of the way, stand to one side, if you please. S. Hard Times. The complaint about hard times has be come chronic, and it seems that there is no hope of relief in the near future. The cause of hard times, in our opinion, is extrava gance among the people. The remedy is economy. Those who make their own supplie s and have not indu’gcd in super fluities are not affected with the prevailing epidemic, “hard times.” The people all over the county complain of poverty, and yet they recklessly run in debt every year for fine clothes, fine hats, shoes, boots, fine equipage, and in many instanc- slive beyond their means, and hard times is the conse quence. There is too much “inflation.” “Contraction” is what is needed. Let everybody’ try to cover less ground and cut off unnecessary expenses. A penny wise and pound foolish policy will not ac complish the end desired, but a timely stop page of leaks which arc draining the suit stance of tlie people away, will do the work. If we make more than we spend we can prosper, but it our expenditures ex ceed our income bankruptcy will come at last, and will come speedily. There is money enough if we have anything to bring it Like water it seeks its level, and it stops with those who produce an equiva lent for it. Foi years it has flown in a thousand channels out of the South, but there is no current flowing this way. Our people nil wear imported goods, eat im parted provisions, use imported furniture, ride in imported vehicles tfhd almost live in imported houses 1 No wonder we have hard times in a chronic form, and are fast Incoming “hewers of wood and drawers of waler” for other people. We could be the most independent people in the werld if wc would practice a little common sense, exercise a little self-denial and go to work to help ourselves. “In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God an* strewn” at our feet and all around us. We fail to improve our advantages and sit down and co nplain of hard times. Unselfish people! W(* are the voluntary slaves of other peo ple! Oh, for emancipation. Personal. Our young friends, Dr. Tom Gower and Bil ly Edwards, of Cartersville, sp ml a night with us last week. They w *re driving s horse apiece, and to each horse were ut i ached three new buggi h. We would say something tn Tiik Georgian almut the buggies and harness manufactured by them, but they might think we were meddling with (heir private business, and we forbear. We will venture, however, to say of friend* Gower and Edwards that they do not be long to the kid-gloved gentry who try to make a living without honest labor, but to that noble class of our citizens who pride themselves on producing more than they consume. We hope they will oiten pull, our latch-string and give us the pleasure ot shaking their hands. We stated some time ago that Gen. W. T. Wolford had attached himself to the Presbyterian church. We have since learned Unit we were mistaken, and that he has become a mcmlier of the Methodist church. It is gratifying to know that such a mar. as Gen. Wofford has espoused the cgv.se of chiislianity, and it matters but lit tle to what particular branch of the church hr belongs, tor he is a man ot large heart and liberal \ lews; and nil good men ot Whatever d nomination, and every good cause will have in him an able, influential arid true friend. Col. John W. Wofford, senator of the 4-1,1 District, we learn has resigned his seat in the legislature, giving a-- hi» reasons f*»r so doing that lii» duties asa h-gislator inter- i fvrtd with those of bis profession a* a law. i yet; ami that hebopistsed to the annual ' meeting* ot U»e legislature, ami isunwdling U> receive bis ot the uiouccasauy ex-1 pense of excessive legislation, “or words to that effect.” All right, Col., but you should have attended the next session of the gen eral assembly in order to aid in bringing about the desired change, and a little more of that “moral miasma” would not have hurt you. Every four years is often enough to meet to make and repeal laws which no body can understand. - Opening the Etowah. Rome, Ga., Nov. 10,1875. Editors Georgian : I clip the following from your valuable paper of last week: One of the most fertile sections of coun try anywhere is the valley along the Eto wah river to Dawson county. An investi gation of its various elements of wealth will convince any one of the truth of the venerable Mark A. Cooper’s assertion, that “the country along the Etowah from. Car tersville to Rabun gap is the richest in the South, if not in America.” The most important question before the people of Cherokee is, How can its popula tion be quadrupled ? All admit that we have only one-fourth of the people needed to cultivate its richest lands properly, to say nothing of developing its mines and utilizing its vast water power*. The com ing hero is the man who can offer a plan that will fuliy answer this question. I don’t propose to be a “hero,” by any means, but I “can offer a plan that will fully answer this question.” The plan is, to get your people to go to work to secure Government aid to open the Etowah to navigation to the gulf. The way to do this is to arm and equip our Representa tive in Congress, Hon. W. H. Felton, with all the data you can collect, to enable him to acquaint Congress with the importance of opening the river. Congees* knows but little, if anything, comparatively speaking, about the river and the vast resources of your section of country, and never will un til the citizens thereof are disposed to put themselves to some little trouble in bring ing this matter before Congress in a busi ness-like way. General P. M. B. Young, our late able representative in Congress, would have had the river opened leng since, if your citizens had have furnished the information ho called for from time to time, but he could not get a response from any one in your section. AU stood with their arms akimbo, indifferent to the wants and necessities of their a runty. The General did succeed, however, in getting the river surveyed, the report ot which will be published in the Rome Courier next week. I wish every man in your county and the counties ad joining, would get & copy. Can’t you pub lish it ? In 1872, there were two steambo;;Wom panies organized here —one called the North Georgia and E’St Tennessee Steamboat company, the other the Elownh Steamboat Company. Captain L. M. Hall of Resaca was elected president of the former, with a full board of directors ; Hon. Thea. Tom lin of Euharlee, with a full board of direct ors, for the latter. Both were on the same footing. General Young notified them that he was ready and willing to do all he could to assist them in securing appropriations to open the rivers, and asked them to furnish him with the necessary data. The result is easily told. Captain Hall and his board went to work and built a boat, notified General Young that they were navigating the Oostanaula and tlie Coosa wattce rivers, but could not do so success fully unless they could >ecure an appropri. at ion to remove the obstructions out of those rivers, and at the same time furnisln d him with the necessary information show ing the importance of epening the rivers. General Young went before the appropriate committee and secured tbeir indorsement, and then introduced a bill and obtained an appropriation. The Department then sent their engineer, General James Tilton, to do the work which he has done, and the boats are now running from Carter’s Landing down to Rome, and thence to Greensport, Alabama. Tumlln and his board, after being duly installed into office, eoUapsed Gen. Young never could succeed in bringing them to the surface again. The resuft is, nothing has l«een done but having the river sur veyed, and that was done by Young’s own energy and his personal popularity with the Department at Washington. Now, this is a true statement of facts, and shows that the North Georgia and East Tennessee Steamboat company had pluck and energy, and the Etowrah Steam boat company had not. I hope your people will learn a good lesson from it. I assure you Congress will never assist any commu nity or section that has no disposition to assist itself, or show some signs of life or vitality. All that it will do for a dead thing is to bury it out of sight, whare it ought to be. Stir up yonr people. Get them to act in concert in showing up their county. We would be pleased to have them make a dis play of their agricultural products, miuer als, etc., at the Fair here next fall, if noth ing else. It will be a good way of telling the world what they have, and what they can produce. Work for the Etowah. Yours, Tima. J. Perry. Acworth Matter*. Our poet-master, Tbos. A. Roney, is now pro-.pecting in Arkansas and Texas fora future home for himself and family. Mr*. C. S. Steel, of Cherokee county, is now in Acworth visiting her relatives, Mr. John H. Woods’ family. Mr. David J. Tippins, of this place, has lately m<»ved to his farm ou Stamp creek, iu Barlow county. Pos-y Rr-ed ha* moved back to his place in town to live next year. Il seem* that be docs not like country life. Mr. C. C. Lcwells, the conslaLk of this place, escorted two negroes, Park Johnson and Eli Johnson, down to Marietta last Monday under a beach warrant for vagran cy, ami our citixen* can well afford to lose them if the court now iu session shoohl see |»rwper '.o put them the public work*. JxXHtOUT. Contributed to The Georgian. Our Newspapers—No. 8. “Dearest thou, Caussius, now Leap iu with me into this angry'flood, And swim to yonder point ?” The sea of journalism, Messrs. Editors, may justly be compared to the Tilrer at Rome, or any other surging flood whose rumbling waves might tempt the great Caesar in a trial of physical endurance. But my purpos'e in this will be to conduct your readers to the point worthy of the journal ist’s ambition—the true haven of rest and culture —frbm which he m»y look back after a lifetime of patient labor and feel with an approving conscience that his days have been well spent, and that his country and his Creator are prepared to bestow a glorious epitaph upon his lifework: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Firstly, then, let all the brotherhood of journalists—daily, tri - weekly, weekly, monthly or semi-annually—remember they are great educators, as well as newsbearer*; educators in morals, religion, intelligence, taste, laws, accomplishments, in every kind of mind culture, heart culture, as also physi cal and material advancement; that ivory paragraph, every original piece, every pub lication set up, is destined upon one, or it may be upon a thousand, minds to have au eff.-ct for good or for evil; and that whatso ever is pure, whatsoever is true, or •charit able or just, or beautiful, or righteous, or progressive, to man with all bis high desti nies—those things should they, above all others, seek often, and keep them constantly before the world. S condly. In intercourse, one with an other, there should be no malice or jealous ies. . If a brother journalist prospers, is that any reason one should despise or seek to overthrow him? If he is guilty of mis represen ing or not giving proper credit, will it make him better or you any happier or more beloved to call him a thief? Such is not the workings of charity, neither is it the road to peace of mind. Chide him gently, and set him right. Never was the lion of the forest made tame by spears and cuffs, still less the savage tiger; but often both have been subdued entirely by patient affection and kind feeding. Thirdly. Messrs. Editors, the Press should, with equal and united purpose, abstain from flattery, especially flattery of public characters, public entertainments, politi cians, et id omne genus. When such per sons have done their very best, have they performed one whit more their service? No, sir. No one objects to merited com mendation of worthy deeds; bat, Sirs, such things are expected of talent, patriotism, and high station. Such is the just tribute due the public in return for weighty respon sibilities or large fees. Alas! for a country in which its public servants will encourage, or be influenced by, the envy-breeding, de caying and specious tongue of green eyed Flattery I How many noble hearts, worthy souls, have been made to ache and sigh by reason of her defiling fingers. Save us, we pray you, teachers of America, from Flat tery, Fourthly. A pure style and faultless dic bon should be sought after and studied— yes, sirs, studied. How few attain to it. When one meets with it, the association, we imagine, is like that of inhaling the rich spices of Arabia amidst the dreary, tenantless desert of Sahara. It would come to the weary traveler as a pkdge from an Infinite Spirit that beyond that arid wa-»te there were blessings awaiting him that would call forth his loftiest heroism and powers of endurance. American father* and mothers, we are sure, cau not wish to indoctrinate their children into a glib use of slang, nor the corrupting blasphemies of pickpockets, incendiaries, or assassins. Give us unadulterated English, interspersed, when occasion calls for it, by such quota tion* as are most scholarly and best ap proved. Fifthly. We would have the make up of our Newspapers, especially the l uge city paper*, more modest and decon u.«, both tn pretension and execution. It is said that in rme of the European capitals, where fn< desty in the walking costume ofladh * i» st! essential requisite to gentility,our Amer ican ladies of fashion are at once recog nized, on account, partly, of feature, but particularly from gaudineu of dress. We wonder if the fashion is not caught from our city dailies, pictorials, and magazines. We think it most likely. At all events, it is certain that the Vanity Fair style of such jourpnls is the laughing-stock of cultivated Europeans, and is seriously deprecated by all sober, reflecting, rational people of this country who have any respect for lite Christian grace calletl Modesty. But, Messrs. Editors, we must here con clude this essay, in the sincere hope that its composition and publication,—prompted m they have been by our conceptions of the Tnte, the Beautiful, and the Good, and with no spirit of malice toward any one may influence one nr more of your brother hood in journalism, who revere such things, and will be profiled thereby, if, indeed, we have made it appear that our views are cor rect and useful. T<> the patient reader, who ba* followed us through, we wottM express the wish that be Ims not found our argu ment too lengthy, as our prime desire is to bnve our common country apjwove and adopt all things tending to strengthen, en noble, and purify it.

Card* To the citizens of Cherokee county: After having been engaged for nine years in the mercantile busi ness in your midst, I have become convinced tliat the credit system is all wrong. To follow it, a merchant has either to charge enormous pro fits, or ruin himself by selling on time. Those of you who pay promptly have to pay such large profits that the merchants can, af ford to lose the accounts of your neighbors who are not disposed to pay, or who are unfortunate and can not pay. In other words, good men have to pay for the goods pur chased by their unfortunate or dishonest neighbors. This state of things is wrong, and when a man is satisfied that he is wrong he should change his course, or be held responsible for living in the j Fully convinced that the above ' position is correct, I have deter mined to sell, after the Ist of De cember next, exclusively for cash or barter. I can and will sell at least twenty per cent, cheaper, the stock through, than I have ever sold. lam in favor of every per son paying for hi« own goods, and hope none of my old customers and friends will be offended when I say to them that after the Ist of December I will sell for cash or barter only. I will be do respecter of persons, will require cash from every one, and positively will not open my books to charge any item, be it ever so small, to the best mail , i in the county. If you have cash or barter, call and examine my stock and prices before purchas ing elsewhere, and you will then 4 i be fully satisfied with my new de parture. I charge nothing for ex hibiting goods, or giving prices, and when you have examined the one and heard the other, you will then be convinced it is to your in terest to pay as you go. • All those who are indebted to me, or to the firm of McAfee A Moss, must come forward and make immediate settlement*.
