The Cherokee Georgian. B. I*. TAYLOB, Local Editor. Ca>ntoi2L, G-a. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1875. MAIL TIME-TABLE. The mail leaves Canton for Marietta on Monday and Friday of each week, at 8a; m. Arrives in Canton Tuesdays and Sat urdays, at 4 p. m. Canton line to Dawsonville leaves every Wednesday morning at 7 o’clock, and re turns Thursday, 4 p. in. Mr. Green, the Cave Spring nursery man, was here on Saturday, filling orders from our citizens for fruit-trees. We acknowledge the receipt of an ear of corn from Mr. W. L. Yancey, which is thirteen inches long and contains over eight hundred kernels. Who can l>eat this? Mrs. Susan Rhodes died in this county, on Sunday evening last, of old age. She was about ninety-three. Her remains were interred in the cemetery here on Monday evening. The personal property of the late James Langston is advertised for sale on the 7th of December. Some valuable books and tool*, ampng other things, will be disposed of *n that day. Prof. John Attaway preached a very interesting sermon at the Methodist church, last Sunday. His subject was the beauties and wonders of nature, and the importance of scientific. knowledge. Our friend John Webb has sold out his tin-sbop to Perry and W. T. Hasty, of this county., Mr. Webb has made friends here, and we are sorry to lose him. We wish him success, wherever ho goes. Several valuable tracts of land belong ing to the estate of the laie Samuel Loving good will be sold at auction, in Canton, on the first Tuesday in January. This will be a fine chance to buy good farms. Mr Joseph Elsas, the Marietta mer chant, shows his enterprise and good judg ment by advertising his wares in The Georgian. We have no doubt he will find it a profitable investment, and hope those ot our readers who buy goods in Marietta will give Mr. Elsas a call. Mu. William M. Mullins of Harbin’s district has raised a turnip which measures twenty-eight inches in circumference, and weighs seven pounds! He says he would like those who think they can raise turnips to produce one that will equal it either in sice or weight. SUMCHIHERB to stock in the Marietta and North Georgia railroad arc notified that Mr. TUoman D. Evans, the Company’s col lector, will be In Canton on the 10th and Hth of December, to receive new subscrip tions and collect the amounts now due the Company on old tulwcripticns. It is tn be hoped that a lilwnil response will be made. Du. S. W. Thompson of Cartersville was in Town last week, looking after some mineral Interests in this section. The Doc tor was president of the Canton Copper Mine company before the war, and, though no longer possessing any pecuniary interest in the mine, expresses the Iwlicf that it will yet become famous for its wealth of minerals. M ABKKT RkTOICT.- Money, tight. Feathers. light. Cheese, lively. Pork (on foot), brisk. Beef (old ones), tough and slow. Coffee going down every day. Whisky has also a downward tendency, Ra.lroad stock, poor, the mules. Mu. John Dickkiison, who owns th e tation adjoining Cy. Dial, thinks he has struck one ot the gold veins which Mr. Dial is working. The excitement in the neighborhood increases daily, as the vein is believed by many to lie the richest and tl**s most extensive yet discovered in this State. As the developments proceed, our readers will he fully informed. “Toerr’h a Beautiful Bong,” is the name of a pretty little piece of music sent to us by Messrs. Turner * Braumuller, music dealers of Atlanta. The music was com posed by Miss Lida Moore of Atlanta, and compares favorably with the average inelo dica of the day. The author of the words m said to be but the poetry* though very good, strikingly suggests Benjamin F. Taylor’s well-known poem, “The River of Time," from which it was probably plagiarised. A mak with fiery-red hair attending serv ices at a church in this county one Bunday, several years ago, was the unconscious cause of a very ludicrous incident lie hind him sat a mischievous youth, who fre quently, during the sermon, would thrust his finger into the hair of his neighbor. and, patting it on the back of the bench, pretend tn beat it as a blacksmith does an iron rod. Thia action at last attracted the at tentioD ot the preacher, and so worked on hia risible* that he laughed outright, ruin lag ths effect of his sermon, aud surprising hta bearers. “GoewraK’’ writes us as follows: ‘‘l saw a sign -board, the other day, which read: ‘To Oring, 10 ma? A few miles far ther, a bouse was pointed out to me where- , in it b aaid a man once preached a funeral •ennoa from the words, ‘We mourn the I«of » good man.’ The preacher re-1 marked that the text could be found in the ' somewhere past ‘Baker,’ bat he didn’t know the page! I suppose be ' weukl have sang ‘Father Grimes is dead,’ ■ if he had only thought of it.’’ A Bright Future. " 1 Let the reader rise in imagination* with;' me over the summit of high hills in the mountain district of a Southern state. Looking west, we see a boundary of hills, almost uniform in appearance and altitude, forming a beautiful circle” bending south and north Traversing two very rich valleys, and near the base of these hills, we see two briglit, clear streams of mountain water, which .forth a junctfofi a little south of west from our position. Oue of these streams — a river—is much lai ger than the other, and makes a fine bend of about two miles in ’length, forming a superb «h>ct of w’ater for boating, fishing, and pleasure-seeking. Beyond the winding hills we see a range of much loftier hills, presenting a pictur esque background. Beneath our feet lies a prosperous city, teeming with wealih and population.— Its inhabitants number ten thousand souls. We hear the busy din of half a dozen cot ton mills, mingling with the puffs and coughs of as many stationary steam-engines, all propelling useful and profitable ma chinery. On various hills lying beneath us, and on cither side, we see the spires of a dozen costly, well-proportioned churches, in which the inhabitants do homage to a bountiful God. The city, although built chi< fly on small hills, reposes in a n agnificent natural basin far above high-w Her mark, with the first mentioned circu t of hill* thrown up as a natural defense around and on each side of It. The streets are laid out with great taste, winding romaatkaWy around- the many-terraced hill*. whicK«je as their foundation. Gardens and winding walks, shaded partly by cultivated foliage, arg uiu | merous. Business bouses and public build-1 ings display extraordinary architectural skill, many of them being deeorattd with costly marble quarried in the surrounding country. The products of various rich mines and manufactories are bought and sold by the merchants. Mechanics every where are working on full time, and for good wages. But look Hgahi. It is a lovely summer afternoon. Bee, on the l>osom of that beau tilul river, how swittly and joyously glide those twenty pleasure-boats! There is a famous trial of speed between the young men of t<o rival colleges. The water's brink is lined with thousands of spectators —young ladits, with glad, expectant heart:* beys, mothers, and lather*. The worthy divine is there, his eyes turning heaven ward as he lilts hi* thoughts far above tJ>e blue mountains, and breathes a prayer for Ihe safety of the gallant, handsome oars men. On one hill tar to th* left, and on another tar to the right, we discover stately institu tions of learoing, the Alma Mater each of the rival crews. Leaving the racer*, we notice the exceed ing cleanliness of the city, owing to the abundance of clear, pure water, the tin* climate, the superior natural drainage ot the city, and its clean soil. About half way up the ridge, over be yond the river, and all along the bluffs, ob serve what a magnificent carriage-drive has been made. That, too, is dotted with plea- from the country and city, who look down at the boat-race. Those hills above the road are covered with palatial residences, owned jxirtly by wealthy mer chant* from the seaboard who have sum mer resiliences there, and partly by people of means from the cold northern cities who •pend their winters ther*. But wc must call, have our balloon low ered, and return to our splendid hotel in the middle of town. The race of the lioat men is over; the carring'-s are moving along yonder boullevard; the shrill engine whistle advises us that the train has come with the daily mail; and many people are already coining liack to town through the east gate ot that fine brjdgq opposite- the railroad depot. Next year, they say. 4 that bridge must be torn made into a djawbr dge, so that steamboats can travjel the river. • • ’ * 1 P. B.—The hill over which our balloon was poised is just lieyond Judge Dowda’s, cast of the city ; the river is the Etowah, near town; the steam-whistle was that of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad engine; and the town, in 1870, was a little, one-horse place called Canton, Cherokee c*tmty, Georgia. Bo far a* the natural ad vantages are described, they are exactly as we have pictured them to the reader: but they ar* worth Doling, upk-ss ptsjk, En terprise., and Gafutai combine to fill out the picture. Occasional. Encouraging Raii-roau Naw*—Mr. McAfee Wrought good news from* Marietta last week, regarding the railroad prospects. The hands have been employed tn making brick and repairing the grading which bad washed out or settled, but i)ib week they will begin to lay the ties to Mrs. Mitchell’*, three and a half mill's north of Marietta. Mr. IL C. Kerr will saw all the tics for the distance named, and take his pay m stock. North of Mrs. Mi'chell’s timber is ph nti fill, and Mr. Sewell has agreed to saw all tbe ties necessary to carry the nd to Canton, charging tor his work only the coat of sawing, and receiving stock for his prof it*. General Phillips has contracted for some tea or twelve miles of track original ly bought by the Cherokee Raifrnod com pany, paytag tarty dollars a ton, and this will be delivered as soon as a lien upon an unencumbered road-bed can be given by tbe Marietta and North Georgia Railroad company. In other words, the cross ties , having been satisfactorily provided ji, 'only remains for the old subscriber* to p*y > I their subscriptions, when tbe debts already ! incurred will be liquidated, and the read 'be completed to Canton without delay.- Upon the faith of llwwe su'wcriptloM the ' work was begun, and it would be lament ‘ able indeed if that faith prove* to have been misplaced. But such a blight to the I hopes of wr are cbwtwtaed tn bt?lfeve, irUl-not ocCur jv-tlicJroad M fc-stitjed to lie built; evc _ yl»ody wants itand when the alternative is presented, of helping the enterprise-or lotting it perish, there will be nofinck of substantial support. ,a I IsMteAw* ■■* The Good Templars* Picnic. The picnic at Wstesctt, on Saturday, was honored with the presence of about foitr hundred persons, many of whom const’-' tufrfthe intelligence and moral worth o section.. were cHighGxl at seeing a number of the prominent citizens both o< Canton and Balacoa present with us, an&. by their influence, giwjjjg encouragement to the heaven-sanctioned cause of humanity Temperance. To say that everything connected with the occasion was pleasant,, would not be snftipicßt: it was delightful. The best of • order characterized the audience, and, from the attention given, and the interest mani fested'bn the part of all, we devoutly hope that much good will follow. Rev. Messrs. Puckett and Brewster ad dressed the meetingin such efficient speech es that no one could indulge the feeling of disappointment. The dinner was bountiful and excellent, and it was truly gratifying to see with what relish .thy people enjoyed it. Long live the Drdm- of Grtod TimipW!

Will somemnfc '’fftease inform us We have noticed, for several venrs past, that there is apt to be a spell of freezing weather about the middle of November, and that the weather is generally pleasant then until the close of the year.

Delaney of Woodstack ha* sent us several turnips of his production, which weigh, five pounds apiece, and mea sure twenty-two inches around. We are sorry we can not accord our friend the mltn in this regard, the reason of which he will find elsewhere in this paper. Woodstock is becoming an important place, and has received considerable impe tus in consequence of the recent mineral discoveries in that section. Three new dwellings are nnw in pn»oss of construc tion there, the merchants are thriving, and everything betokens a prosperous future. Last Sihbath morning opened inauspi ctausly. The clouds were lowering, the rain ’-egnn to fall early in the day, but be fore noon the clouds had mostly disap peared, and the weather continued warm and spring-like. We intended to go to church at Shiloh, had it not been for the threatening- aspect of the weather in the early part of the morning. f We spent last Saturday night with our friend Colonel Sharp, at his beaut iftil and pleasant home at Walesca. The Colonel has a fall Stock of goods, and is doing a fine business. He is a great worker, and. while he docs not neglect his own interests, :he is full of public spirit, and exerts his in fluence and energies for the promotion of the general welfare of the country, morally, politically, and materially. * —**>■ lin te ‘ Obituary- Mr*.
