The Cherokee Georgian P. H. BREWSTER, ) - J. J. A. SHARP, > Editors. J. O. DOWDA, ) Canton, Ca., ’ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1876. A Visit to the Capitol. We went to Atlanta early last Thursday morning, and spent the day very pleasantly in that bustling city. We first visited the Representative hall, -where we met our friend Col. Sharp, who kindly invited us to a seat on the floor, and introduced us to a number of his friends, who occupied seats near him. Among the number were the Hon. Mr. Crymes, editor of the Toccoa Herald, a very pleasant and intelligent gentleman, and the Hon. Mr. Wilson, of Oconee, the new county. Mr. Wilson is a plain, sensible farmer, a true Southern gentleman, and just such a man as every county should send as its representative. As an evidence of his good taste and good sense, he subscribed and paid for The Georgian. We found Col. Sharp “wide awake and duly sober,” and watching sharply the in terests of his constituents. the House, Candler, of H dl, was speaking on the bill calling a convention to frame a new Constitution, but the acoustical arrangement of the hall was so bad that we failed to understand half that he said. Several other members spoke while we were present, but their re marks were also unintelligible. The noise reminded us of a bumble-bee in a barrel- So far as we were enabled to learn there seemed to be quite a diversity of opinion in regard to the propriety of calling a conven tion at this time. We hope to have a Con stitution formed by white men and honest men, at no distant day, but it may be best to bear a while longer, “the ills we have rather than fly to those we know not of.” This will be a stormy year for the country, • and a bad time to “swop horses.” Soon becoming tired of the “confusion of tongues,” we sought the rooms of Dr. Lit tle, the State geologist and spent an hour delightfully in examining his magnificent collection of mineralogical and geological specimens. We found the Doctor to be an intelligent, polite and accommodating gen tieman, who seemed to take pleasure in showing us the results of his labors and in giving us such information as we desired. He. and his co-laborcrs have already accom plished great things in developing the min eral resources of the State, yet he informed us that his work was only fairly commenc ed. We hope the legislature will make a libefttl appropriation, that the important work may be continued without embarrass ment; for, when completed, it will certainly add millions to the material wealth ol the State. From the rooms of Dr. Little, we went to those of Dr. Janes, the Commissioner of Ag riculture, and were no less pleased with what we saw in that department. Dr. Jones is also an accomplished scholar and gentleman, and deeply inti rested in the ag ricultural resources of the, country. lie showed us many fine specimens of cereals and vegetables, among which was a variety of oats that was without husks. We also were shown a specimen of corn of which 225 bushels and seven quarts were produced on one acre. It was grown in Alabama, was planted in hills three feet apart each way, and three stalks in a hill. Every citi zen of our great State should take an inter est in its agricultural and mineral develop ment, and contribute such articles for ex hibition as they may think will promote that object. If any of our readers will send us such articles we will take pleasure in forwarding them to Doctors Little and Janes in Atlanta. The Departed. We should accustom ourselves to think of departed friends, not as being lost, hulas having gone before ; for in reality they are not dead, but are only sleeping, and will soon awake and arise to everlasting life. Drath to them is a short and dreamless re pose, and a thousand years to them will be- M hut as ytsterday when it is past.” Though we no longer la-hold them, they are ours still—ours to love and cherish till we all shall meet again. Our departed friends are gone before, and, foot sore and weary, we follow on, and soon with them we will shnnl»er in the dreamless grave. Many of the good, the beautiful, and lovely, have vanished from our view, but they still have an existence, and we can think of them, dream ot them, and love them the same as if they wire here, or separated from us bit fur awhile. They are our jewels, our hearts, treasures, and they shall be ours forever. “Tlx» departed ! the departed ! They visit us in dreams, And they glide above our memories Like shadows over streams ; But where the eheerf i! lights of home In constant luster burn, The dejMi ted, the d- parti d, U*ui ntvu' more return ! The good, the bravo, tlw lieantifvl, How dreamless i* tin sleep. Where rolls the dirge 1 ke music Ol the ever-tossing deep! Or when- the surging night-winds Hale winl< r's rotas have spread AN»vv the narrow palnces, lu the chits of the dead! I sometimes dream their pleasant smiles Still on me swectlv t.»il; Their tones of I >ve 1 taintly hear My name in sadness cull. 1 kn-’w that they a t- h -ppy, With their ange| pHrn-uf - on. But my he: rt is verv desolate To think litai they are gone." The clerk of the city cat mil of Gaim's -vbl is named A C. D. rscy. TV Order why they diiui gtvc u.m the diaUucc of thca’pUdxt? \ R; J. Cowart. [Thoughts suggested on witnessing the arrival of nis remains at Canton for inter ment.] Here once he lived in manhood’s glorious prime, Here cherished brightest hopes of future fame, Here once in strains of eloquence sublime, He, spake, and thousands praised and loved his name. His mind was strong and massive as his form. And there was magic in his God-like voice, When uttering mighty truths; when like a storm, He forced the eye to weep, or heart re joice. And now his lifeless form has come to rest Amid the scenes and friends he loved so well, Where oft in blessing others, he washiest, Where most his Christian deeds like man na fell. ’Tis meet that here his quiet grave should be, Near by the winding river’s verdant shore, Where birds in spring time make sweet melody, And e’er is heard the river’s dirge-like roar. Where mountains high adorn the North and West, From w’hence soft breezes flow at even tide, And seem in -whispers low to speak of rest, For those who love and serve the Cruci fied. B. A Dog Law — Mr. Hamilton of Floyd, has introduced a dog law in the General Assembly. He proposes to have all the dog in the State registered iu a book provided by the ordinaries between the first of April and the first of June, the owner paying one dollar for registration and twenty-five cents fora certificate of registration declar ing the registered shall wear upon his neck a collar bearing on it the name of his own er and the registered number. A violation of this law subjects the owner to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, or imprisonment not exceeding thirty days. The money arising from the registration of dogs goes to the public school fund of the county. Any person ki ling a dog not registered is enti tled to receive one dollar. —[Rome Com mercial No less than twenty-one tons of materi als used in the manufacture of immoral publications have been destroyed by the society for the suppression of vice: 160 works of a meretricious kind suppressed ; 5,000 negatives for prohibited photographs and 500 steel plates tor making vice pic tures secured; and nearly 300 persons deal ing in these articles punished. In his recent message to the Wyoming Legislature, Governor Thayer extols wo man suffrage and recommends its undisturb ed continuance. A Cheyenne correspond ent, declares, however, that the women do not seek office, have entirely abandoned the jury room, and seem to be growing yearly more indifferent about voting. Mrs. Thomas or Thomasson, widow of the dynamite assassin, and her children leP Hamburg on Wednesday for New York. She has been universally pitied. The Amer icans in Dresden subscribed and present! d her $1,500. She resolutely refused to per mit the adoption of her children by German notabilities. Some wag has s<id that Miss May, to whom young Jim Bonnett is engaged, has made him promise not to shoot the beauti ful young pigeons. There is no record of his ever shooting anything, though he been engaged in a hundred matches It is absurd for him to promise not to hit. Kirkwood, the newly elected senator from lowa, first attracted public attention by making his appearance at an evening party in a red flannel shirt. An lowa leg islature can detect genius quicker and re ward it more nobly than any other body of its size iu the country. A centennial pig has been born in Ken tucky. Its distinguishing characteristics are a perfectly hairless body, eyes as large as sheep’s, ears like those of a hare, and a horn, several inches long, projecting from the top of his head downward. In France the average salary of work men (without board or lodging) is sixty eight ccn’R; in Germany, Italy and Switz eiland, thirty-tight cents; in England, eighty-three cents, living being thirty per cent, dearer than in France. ►- The conservative House ot Delegates ol Virginia has just seated a negro member from Essex county over a conV sting white conservative by a unanimous vole. Mr. Beck, the newly elected senator form Kentucky, has reached the highest official elevation that is open to him in this country. He was born in Scotland. The prince of Wales is to receive a sword so aristieally tempered that it can be worn as a belt. ATTEisfriON, Citizens and Friends of the M. & N. Q. Railroad!
