To Our Subscribed.
We engaged to publish 50 copies of The
Cherokee Georgian, a year for $1 50.
We have fully complied with that contract.
Alwut Christmas, wc issued a half sheet;
we now issue another. The year closes
with this number, and we tender our thanks
to the people for their very liberal patron
age, and ask them again to patronize us.
Next week the first issue of our paper will J
appear, for the second year of its existence.
We beg leave to assure the people, that it
will not fail. Send in your names, and the
money at once. We will send a few copies
to our old subscribers to give them a chance i
to renew and then stop it, ns to them.
TO the Farmers of the County.
Some time since, we made a proposition 1
tn the farmers of the county, looking to a
change of policy—a revolution in the seed
ing of wheat, and now renew the proposi
tion, and think we will add an additional
premium, to be paid in gold. Before doing
so, however, we wish to know whether our
farming friends feel an interest in the mat
ter. We know we have a good country,
and that by proper management of the farm,
our garners would be better filled, our meat
houses would be inside our county limits,
and money more plentiful in our midst.
In order then, to make the change, let us
make our own fertilizers, sow less land, pre
pare It better, make more wheat, and with
much less labor. We propone a gold pre
mium of ten dollars, for the best acre, and
the plow for the second best, and shall re
quire eacli one contending for the premi
um, to send to some place, hereafter desig
nated, one peek of wheat, nicely sacked,
with statement of time sown, kind of land, |
how fertilized &c. We will have the wheat
turned qycr to a committee of three farm-.
(liiTcirntT^wls*<’frl T ll/ li W<illij
shall decide as to the quality of the wheat,
and award the premium without knowing
whose wheat they ar? passing upon. We
expect to try it, and will beat you if we can.
Send in your names at once, so that wo
may know who you are—privately if you
desire. Respectfully, J. J. A. Sharp.
Dr. W. 11. Felton.

The Grasshopper Plague.
Dr. Thomas P. Janes, Commissioner of
Agriculture, has issued the following circu
lar to the fiinners of Georgia: The grass
hoppers which have appeared in many sec
tions of tlie S’atc are, without doubt, the
..hateful grasshopper” of the west —that
dreaded pest that has, during the last tew
years,destroyed entire growing crops, re
ducing the people to the point of famine.
They are »ow in the first and comparatively
helpless state of their existence. They will
grow rapidly, and in a few weeks will he
able to fly. They will then deposit their
eggs in the earth by millions. Next year
these egrrs will hatch, and there will lx?
millions where now arc only dozens. Yon
are earnestly advised to destroy thrsunow
before’hey can fly, and before their eggs
aredeposited. They can be driven into piles
of dry straw and burned. Thousands may
lie destroyed by active men and boys with
brush. Nets may lie made siuiil ir to part
ridge nets, of some cheap material, with
widely extended wings. The inserts
Can be driven, like birds into these nets
orsnaresand dcs'royed. By every means
in your jxiwvr, aud that can be devised by
your ingenuity, utterly exterminate them
and save our State from a plague such as
we have never experienced. 1 respectfully

OVER THE COUNTY.
There was an interesting meeting at
Shiloh last week.
We lost two offended subscribers last
week, and two others took their places who
were in a good humor. “Sick is life.”
“Our Joe” Tucker was at Canton last
week, drumming for the Atlanta Times.
He makes a good agent, and is doing well
for the paper he represents.
Friend Lovinggood says they have at
Cherokee mills two kind of stecle that can
not be tempen d by their black-smith, one
is cast steel and the other is a still harder.
We observed at court last week, quite a
number of gentlemen who were consider
ing the propriety of yielding to the wishes
of the* people, by consenting to run for of
fice.
A part}' in the neighborhood of Walesca’
or Lost Town, started a travelling thresher
the other day, and run it backward*, until
tin y discovered that it would not work well
that way.
A young lady in Lost Town, swears that
if a certain young man writes her any more
love letters, she intends to make him eat
them ! If that be the case, we would make
them sweet, “Bub.”
The Rev. Mr. Myers, preacher in charge
of the Cherokee circuit, called to see us
one day last week. He reports favorably
of bis work. He is a popular preacher and
is doing a good work.
Maj. Evans says he was a candidate for
the legislature, for awhile, on his own re
sponsibili'y, and came down, at the solicita
tion of his friends. It stems that the same
rule works both ways sometimes.
A Baptist preacher whispered to a Meth
odist preacher in the court room, the other
day and asked him if he had five one dol
lar bills! The latter laughed heartily at
the joke and gave him no answer.
A preacher in the mountains said the
other day: “Breethren, I have studied my
text well, and have spelt every word of it.
and it reads as follows: ‘And the vale of
the temple was wrapt in twine !’”
A friend of ours, was preaching some
time ago, and among other things remark
ed that tlie longest end of bis journey
through life was behind him, and that be
expected soon to leave the world. “Amen !’
exclaimed an old brother near the pulpit.
Crombie found six pennyweight of gold
the other day, and is very much excited
about it. He says he is searching tor
Aaron’s golden calf now and thinks he will
find it before long. If he fails, we suggest
tiiat he put a bell on and act in that capac
ity himself.
Our friend, the Rev. M. Puckett, saw
a lightning rod wagon passing his school
house, the other day. and ran to the d<X>i,
i waved hlSnnnuTand brought the machine
to a sudden halt, and remarked to the men
in charge that he wanted them to thresh
his wheat!
j Judge Chamblee has been thinking about
running for the legislature. He says he
was strongiy “solicited” (by I‘nil. Keith,
colored), oyci a month ago. As the Judge
is of a yielding disposition, he will proba
bly allow his friends to use his name in
that count ction.
A candidate for the legislature remarked
the other day, that lie had been solicited,
nnd urged So repeatedly to become a candi
date, that lie had finally concluded to run.
“Who,” asked a bystander, “has been solic
iting you?” “Well,” said he, “my wife
has been talking to me about it.”
We must have a railroad or remain for
ever in the background and backwoods as
a county. Every part of the county and
every interest of our whole people would
lie promoted by being connected ny mil
with the busy world. Let tin support that
man for the legislature who will pledge him
self to help push this great enterprise to a
speedy comp'etion.
Wc cant publish everything sent u«, no
matter how good. We are compelled to ex
ercise our own discretion in making selec
tions from the large amount of communica
tions sent us for publication, and our friends
ought not to be offended if we do not think
proper to insert everything they write, no
matter what may be its character. Short
articles, and such as we think will inti rest
our nadera, we always publish when we
have room ; and are not influ> need in our
selection by friendship, tear, favor or afltc
tion.
Sow turnips—sow early, and sow late.
Make the ground rich, plow it deep and
well; rake it c lean ; lay off your rows two
feet apart, with a sin ill plow or hoc ; take
a sardine box, or other small box, make a
few holes in the bottom with a small awl,
fasten a handle to it, put your seed in the
box, drill them in th’* small furrow by tap
ping lightly the handle of your box ; cover
the Seeds by drawing along the furrow a
Shovel with a brick, or stone in it; and
when up, thin and work them well.
The interest frit by the jni'ple of the
county iu agricultural improvements was
manifested at Canton last week when it
whs announced that an improved Avery
plow would lx* tested at Donaldson’s terry.
A crowd <>f about one hundred witnessed
the trial and so far as we heard them ex
press themselves, they w< re well pleas- <l.
It did gmxl work in large corn "laving it
by." a row at a time. Wc are convff ceil
that it is -i gre at tabor-saver, and that is
what <>u: p»?>pie need. It is a go<xl motto
to "prove all things and bold fast to li a
which is g-xx}.’*
Old man Springer, who was nobbed by
some jvirti's I rein Gw nut t last spring, has
bad a hard time. It was bad enouga to l«e
rol»lx.xl, but to lx* murdered by degrcis bv
lawy rs, was kx> ba.l. They put the old
m m thniugu last w« ek. and if he ra ever
rol-lxi! ag uu we s .(iv tn-hi nto say noth
ing l>> it it. Ch nd e cou.Jy L. s also been
a sufferer iu this tualkr. The cud
the county twelve hundred dollars last
court, and several thousand more have
probably been added by the late trial. We
wish the people of Gwinnett would confine
their thieving operations to their own
county, as we Cherokee folks do.
Gen. William Phillips made a rousing
speech at Canton on last Wednesday for
the railroad. He said that many were of
the opinion tnat the enterprise was dead,
but that such was not the case, as the peo
ple all along the line were dctei mined to
put it through He alluded to the zeal and
industry manifested by the people of Pick
ens, Gilmer, Fannin and Union, in behalf of
the road, and mentioned the fact that por
tions of the road in those counties had al
ready been graded and the cross-ties laid by
the citizens; and also that the ladies in one
instance, had woven and made clothes for
the convicts employed, with their own
hands, while the farmers were sending in
theii corn and meat to feed them. Gen.
Philips urged all the friends of the enterprise
to rally to its suppoit, and assured the peo
ple that the road would be built. We hope
the people of Cobb will send Gen. Phillips
to the next legislature, in order that he may
serve them, as well as us all, as no other
man can, in ibis great work.

Railroad Meeting at Jasper.
Gov. J. M. Smith, Col. E. Hulbert and
Col. Robert Maddox will address the citi
zens of Pickens county on the 10th of Au
gust at Jasper, in the interest of the Mari
etta and Murphy Railroad. We hope
every citizen of the county, men, women,
boys and girls will attend the meeting.
When such men feel so deep an interest
in our road it ought to arouse all of us to
nnewed efforts. We know the scarcity of
money and provisions now, but let us be
preparing for the full when we hope to have
both money and provisions.

It would be a good idea for the

to the friends who have solicited me to
be a candidate to represent them in the next
legislature, and to the people of the county
generally all, are at liberty to use mv name
in that connection. lam an old fellow
citizen, one whom many of you know,
and would here tender my thanks to all so
licitations, and whe!li<r«r not I am th

at all times, and at all places, for rerrench

whole aim is to do some good for the p •□-

now. Viry respectfully, vour obedient ser
vant, W. F. Mullins.
To the Voters of Cherokee County.
I am a candidate to represent your inter
ests in the next legix) iture. If elected, the
first thing I wi 1 fry to do, will be to haye
a convention called for the purpose of mak
ing some changes and amendments in the
onstitution. I think the salaries, per diem,
and pay of all our officers are too high, and
that they should he fixed by Hie people, in
the constitution, as I have hist all hope of
i the legislature lessening our tax. We have
had four years of D mo< r tic r tie and if
they h ive lightened the Radicsl yoke, it
j j •
has not liven |x rccp’tble ns yet. The ]x.o
--| pie arc the ones that pay the tax, and they
should be the ones to fix Hie salaries. So
soon as I can get a convention called, time
and pl:u.-e fixed, I will then move to ad
journ and have no more legislation until
! we can have a consti’ution that will restore
confidence to the people. 1 need not say
here th it 1 am in f avor of our railroad, be
cause I have put my money into it —have
labored for if, nnd will not cease my efforts
I until the whistle blows at the North Gar

1 uis thank’ for the implied court lence, in i
i these solicitations. He hopes, however i
that it will not be expected of him to can- ■
vass for votes. Whether he is or is not the :
choice of the people, he will diet) fully
abide their decision. If elected, he
I promises to be found at a’.l times, upon the i
side of Retrenchment. Re'’orm, acd Pro
