The Cherokee Georgian P.’H, BREWSTER, J. J. A. SHARP, * J Editors. -■A* r-~—= . Canton, Ca., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1875. B<jmr time ago there waj» a good deal ■aWtbout the “Boss Tweed trial.” Now it h changed to the “Boss Tweed trail.’' But a slight difference. Thk toils, hardships and privations of the “Okefcnokee Exposition” have been great. We like to read the wonderful ad ventures of “Uncle Ben” and company in that terra incognita or rather aqua incognita, for it seems that water is the prevailing el ement in that mysterious region. The large “prairie” mentioned, which i» covered with water two feet deep, would be called simply • pond or lake anywhere else. The Cartersville Express. We failed to see the first issue of the above excellent paper since it fell into the hands of its present proprietor, although it was received at our office; but we had the pleasure of perusing, the paper of last week, and were delighted with its fine ap pearance and its splendid variety of reading matter If the people of Cartersyi’le and Bartow county fail to bestow upon the Ex press a liberal patronage, they will commit a mistake which will result in great injury to the city and county, and which it will take years to correct. Mr. Willingham is ap earnest worker and an experienced jour nalist, and we hope he will meet with that success in his new enterprise which he so justly merits Grant and the Third Term. The politicians and newspapers, we fear, will keep worrying about the third term, until Grtnt will determine to continue the occupancy of the White House to “vindi cate” himself, and to show to the country that he can be President as long as he pleases. lie might be coaxed away from his place, but he has too much bud-dog about him to be scared or driven off' by the continual barking of small dogs. If let alone, be might sullenly walk out of bis kennel at the end of his present term, for the sake of a little variety ; but it the politi cians, especially those of the South, contin oe to insist that he shall go out, he will probably remain in, just to show that he can. We hope then that the President will be allowed to gnaw the bones he has on hand quietly, until he thirjks proper to re tire of his own accord. “Let us have peace.” An Accident; Early on last Saturday morning Mr. C. M. Sharp, of Walesca, narrowly escaped being killed or badly injured, near our res idence, by his team running away with a wagon which was loaded with the family of a Mr. II irrison and their household ef fects, which were being rc roved ?:■ •where. Th“y were crossing a ravine where the r >ad to Steele’s bridge starts down the river,when achiin attached to the brews'-tree broke loose and let the wagon run down upon the horaoi, which becoming frightened pitched »O th- opposite side, thrust the tongue of the ogon four feet into a bank, broke loose and ran oft into the field nearby. No seri ous damage was done, and after making some repairs, the company went on their way rejoicing that matters were no worse. There were six little bare footed children in the wagon, shivering with the cold. We sympathized with them all, especially with a little two-year old girl, who went off cry ing, and saying in piteous tones, “I’ll feeze to def!” May “He who tempers the wind to the shorn lambs” provide for the dear little children and give them a comfortable home. The ( lose of the Year. Another year, with its toils and cares, its disappointments and sorrows, its successes and failuna, its pleasures and its pains, is ■ numbered with the drcam-like and shadowy ■ past. It would be well for us nil to review j the thoughts we have indulged, the words we have uttered and the deeds we havei done, and determine wherein we have mis- ■ spirit out time, indulged nnkind feelings. ! •ahi unkind words, and done things which . ought to have been left undone.and resolve ! on reformation. Sober, serious reflection will convince us all that we a»e imp-rfect heingv, as frail as the bruised reed, and that we h»ve need of that “chanty which cov- ‘ ereth a multitude of sins," and wc each shoul I Ire led to say “Tha’ nwrey I to o’hers show. That mercy show to tn-'.” Thepnst Ins taurht us all important les sons which we should ro' fail to improve, aid we h u I “compare ounelves with 1 ourselves,” and rnnke such corr-ctions as shall be suggested by such comparisons. The very might make some improve ment, and the worst have room f r repen tance and may reform. There is an All-! wise b iug who is “long suffering to us ward ” and who is ever res Ivto ext-nd His omnipotent arm to aid ua in every good i work, purpose and de«ire To Him we should confi lently “look for help in every time of need, for vain is the help of man.” i Ten thousand mercies and blessings have been showered up >u us during the year that is now Ispirring, and with grateful hearts we should rememb, r the kin Inrsg and grace of the Great Giver of all go 1. and a sense of his goodness should lead us to repentance and secure the devvtions of, our hearts The year is dying, ami with it let ua bury all unpleasant memories ami j bitter and be ready io I'egin the < New Ye ir wi’h cheerful, forgiving hearts. ■ and with i-wtul an’k-ipstiows »f the go si j things which are m store for 'or af< r Mil the world is pretty much Whitt we make it, and even tliH uncertain fl>vting life may be made a blessing to all who will have it so. The year is dying, and each successive revolution of the sun will also soon have passed away and we shall all soon enter another state of existence, be happy forever, or be doomed to endless pain. This, That, and the Other—Here, There, and Yunder. If you see any mistakes in the pap-rs blame the printers. If you don’t see any, praise the editors. How did it happen that so many Captains got together at Acworth ? We are all Co lonels at Canton. Next week will be Christmas. We say, Christmas gift" in advance, to all the chil dren and “cullud pussone.” Several of tha Cartersville merchants are proposing to sell off at cost for the purpose of going to Atlanta and elsewhere. We hear of several weddings that are to take place about Christmas. Others per haps will get married without informing us in advance. We would like to attend the approaching Centennial, but fear we will not have time. Hope to have more leisure when the next one shall come round. The Sunday-schools at Acworth are pre paring to have a Christmas-tree on Christ mas eve. The Canton schools also pro pose a similar festivity for the little folks. We have recently seen several M. D.’s (Mule Drivers) returning north with their stock. Cotton is too low, taxes too high, debts too many, and times too hard for that business. An old lady friend of ours planted a pecan nut in her yard the other day. Wc remarked that if it did well it would prob ably produce a tree, which would probably bear frud in about forty years. We received a letter from Twenty-six Mile House, California, the other day. It contained twenty-five three cent postage stamps for The Georgian. All right. We will take stamps from those who can’t pay us the money. We met an old friend on the streets of Cartersville the other night. He said “(Hie) How are you, Henry ?” “Sober,” said we, “how are you, Uncle Jimmie?” “I’m (Hie) sober too,” he answered. Another “physi cian’s certificate,” we thought. Railroads are a great institution. We got aboard the “Goober” at Acworth at s’j o’clo<kon last Wednesday evening, went to Cartersville in one hour, remained there an hour and a half, and returned on the down train to Acworth at 9 o’clock, talked till 11, and went to bed. We were pained to learn while at Carters ville, the other night, that a little daughter of Mrs. Thomas had been burned to death during the day, by falling into the fire. We also learned that Mrs. J. T. Norris on the same day, narrowly escaped being burned to death, by her dress taking fire. She exercised great presence of mind by covering herself up in the bed, and by that means smothered the flames and sav-d life. It was said that she was seriously though not fatally injured by the accident. Mrs. Norris is a kind and excellent lady, and wo hope her recovery will be speedy. We were at Acworth on last Wednesday. Cotton sold on that day at 13 cents for the best. There was a ring of buyers and our sack was in the middle. We black-mailed them, by threatening to expose them in The Georgian if they d.d not not give tn a fair price. We had a lively time. Cspf. Jim Lemon, Capt. Henry Putnam, Capt. Marion Phillips, and Col. Awtry were the bidders. Capt. Jim Lemon made the highest bid, and we knocked it off on him. Jim is a very clever fellow, a little the cleverest of any of the Acworth ring, al least he was ou last Wednesday. —- -« * I •» Hi A Snggeatire and Encouraging Letter. Rome, Ga., Dec. 11,18'5. To the Editors of The Georgian: I atn in receipt of your valuable paper of the Bth instant, and I am gratified to see > that the enterprising men of Canton had called a meeting, to be held to-day, for the I purpose of taking some steps to secure the j opening of the Etowah. This should have been done long since, but it is never too ■ late to do good. As they have commenced late, they should wotk the harder. i C. 11. C. Willingham, editor of the Car ' tersville Express, will be a willing and able I co-worker in the enterprise. He has al- , ready done much for it, and will continue 1 to work for it so long as your people will manifest any interest in it. Dr. Felton wid exert himself to the utmost of his ability I in securing an appropriation sufficient to I ' open the river. The Romans, too, will : c >me to your assistance, and, when the river is open, will pul on one or more boats, if your people don’t. As you have put your hands to the plow, don’t 10-»k bick, but get up your doco-■ ments —gel them up soon—and forward ‘ them to Dr. Felton. Hold your meetings along the line of the river. As General Young said to the Romans, “Let your wawh-word be, Rome to the sea,” so let the watch-word of tie people of Canton; be, “Canton to the gulf." A very prominent I s ncss man from ; Cobb was here a few dsys ago. He asked me what I thought of the prospects ofi opening the Etowah to Canton. I told him 1 thought they good, and that ; boats would l>c plying la-tween Rome and , Canton within two years. He said if that ! turns out to be so. Canton will be one ot the m->«: important towns in Cherokee Georgia, and further remarke d that he has hi* eye on Canton for a phee of business. • Hr is not the only one {poking in that di- ; rrction. We here look tn your jwople tn take the lead in this matter, as Colonel Samuel M. Carter did on the Oc*tanaula and Cooaawatt e rivers. They are at the ; . head, and must take the snuff, and we will j do the ane*King. Tmj*. J. PrttßY. i Letter from Texas. Crossville, Bell County, Texas, ) December 12, 1875. j Editors Georgia*: Thinking that yon, with many of my old friends and acquaint ances would like to hear something from this portion of the immoral vineyard, 1 have taken it upon myself to give them, through your paper, a description of the situation, soil, products, people, etc., of Bell county. Our county is situated very near the popular center of the Slate, on the thirty first parallel of latitude, and about two hundred miles from the coast. The cli mate is such that we can raise almost any thing of value in a farming conn try; cot ton yields almost as abundantly as in the Mississippi valley, as we are little troubled with the cotton-wonn, and the soil is well adapted to the culture of all the cereals, except rice and the like. The eastern line of the county runs within twenty miles of the Waco branch of the Houston and Texas Central railway. Waco, the present terminus of the road, is about twenty miles from the liue of Bell county, and every ten miles of the road running parallel, or nearly so, with the eastern line of the county there is a depot. On the south side it is about twenty miles to Rockdale, the present terminus of the International railroad, and this is the point where we ship our products and receive our goods. The southwest corner of the county is about thirty-five miles from Aus tin, the capital of the State, and terminus of the western branch of the Houston ggd Texas Central railway. Two roads are chartered to pass through our county and cross at Belton, the county site, and there is now strong hope that these roads will be built. We have as fine land, taken altogether, as any in the State. The county contains about eleven hundred square miles, fully three-fourths of which is good tillable land, the other one-fourth being a sort ol mount ainous country, traverse I by clear running streams, whose valleys comprise cur finest land. The great majority of the land is a black, stiff prairie soil, sometimes loamy and sometimes mixed with sued. This prairie country is traversed by several streams which are as clear as crystal and full of fiih ; the valleys are covered with timber, and the soil is ot the best quality, being alluvial, dark gray and loamy. Land* range in value from two to five dollars per acre, in proportion to situation, quality* quantity, amount of improvements, and limber The terms of sale usually are one fourth cash, and the balance in one, two, and three years, with interest at leu per cent, per annum. I have perhaps made thia letter long enough. If you deem it worthy of publi cation, I will probably follow it with others descriptive of the Lone Star stale. L B. lIt'GHKS IMYS SUMMARY. V f STATS.

Those of you whe pay promptly have to pay auch lar ge : profits that the merchant# can af ford to lose the account# of yo»F neighbors who are not disposed te pay, or who are unfortunate and can not pay. In other word#, good men have to pay for the goods pur chased by tlieir unfortunate vt dishonest neighbor#. Thia state of things is wrong, and when a mnu is satisfied thaV he i* wrong he should change his course, or be held responsible for living in the wrong. Fully convinced that the above position is correct, I have deter mined to sell, after the Ist of De cember next, exclusively for ca#h or barter.
