Mr. II. Harpold, Rome, Ga.
While in Rome last week we called
upon Mr. II: Harpold, the dry goods
prince of the town. We had to wait
for at least an hour before he could
give us an audience. He and his
clerks were over-rum with business.
A oonstant stream of customers was
pouring in to view the heavily laden
counters and shelves. We had no
cenceptiou of the great variety of
dress goods it took to muke up
assortment.
Mr. Harpold 1ms the heaviest
stock of ladies’ goods in the city.
His prices are low, and no one need
go there and not be suited as regards
assortment, quality and prices. He
has lately gone into the Silk dress
trade. His assortment of silks is
splendid. The only objection we
can find to his business is that he
was too busy to advertise. This is a
rarity these hard times. We give
him credit for this, however, and
trust that whenever we call on him
again he will favor us with a card.
If any of our ladies should go a-sbop-
ping to Rome, they will call r we
know, on H. Harpold.

CEDARTOWN.
Is a place of 1500 inhabitants, sit
uated in tho famous Cedar Valley,
county of Polk. It has two rail
roads graded to her limits; one of
them hence to Cartersville will un
doubtedly bo finished tho coming
Fall. It has three churches and
two flourishing schools, a Knights
of Honor and Reading Club Hall,
twenty stores, one large and prosper
ous Iron works and foundry. The
town is improving. Spring begins
here the middfe of March and winter
about the middle of November. The
soil of this section is unequalled by
any in North Georgia. Farmers
raise Cotton, Wheat, Oats Corn,
Cane, Rye, Potatoes—in 1‘uct every
thing that can be produced here is
grown. Fruit prospers and large or
chards are in cultivation. Our peo
ple are beginning to pay attention
to the drying of fruit. Good land
can bo bad for from ten to forty dol
lars per acre. House rent in this
place is reasonable. There is not a
vacant house in the place. Wages
vary. The highest is twenty-six dol
lars per month, atid from this on
down. Our town is greatly in need
of capitalists. We stand greatly in
need of a bank. This branch of bus
iness Could be made to pay well. At
some future day the lumber business
can bo made to pay well. We have
an honest, hard working people here
They stand ready and willing to ten

We acknowledge the receipt of a
cablegram from the Czar, asking us
what we would do about it now, but
we can see there is going to be a long
diplometic war over the question,
and we don’t propose to be dragged
iuto it.
Your correspondent stopped from
his labors for a lit.tie recreation, and
wont as a deleigate to the Cherokee
Presbytery, at Enharlec last week.
Having to go down in the morning,
and the meeting of the Presbytery
not convening till night, 1 kept on
to Oartersvillo, and found that thriv
ing place alive to business. The
merchants seemed to have full stocks,
and I suppose from what. I saw, were
doing a line business. I also found
a great many of the delegates to the
Presbytery bad arrived from up and
down the State Road, waiting for
the Oh rokee Railroad to carry them
out. Through th • kindness and
hospitality of the presbyterinns,
there, we were all treated to a most
excellent dinner, after which the
time for the starting of the train
having arrived, and all on board, we
were soon landed at Stilesboro depot,
where the delegates were met by the
citizens of Eubarleo and carried over
to the beautiful little village of Eu-
harlee, and unsigned to their respec
tive homes during the meeting, nnd
to enjoy the hospitality of the place,
which seemed to be unbounded.
At the hour of 74 o’clock, p. in.,
Wednesday, April LOih, the Presby
tery was opened with a sermon by
Rev. W. A. Milner from Hebrews
8th, 1st and 2nd. Subject, Pries-
hood of Christ, after which the Pres
bytery was constituted witli prayer.
Rev. J. E. Jones was elected Moder
ator, and Rev. Then. E. Smith, Clerk.
Ministers present.—Rev. J W Ba
ker, S E Axon, T E Smith, T 0
Crawford, D L Butall, II G Johnson,
J E Jones, S W Newsell and W M
M Caldwell, with a like number of
ruling elders.
The business of flic Presbytery
was carrie i on under the oontroll of
Rev. J E Janes, as Moderator, with
precision, good order and hastily, at
same time everything was done with
moderation and wisdom,
There was three other assigned
sermons preached during tho meet
ing. One on Friday morning by
Rev. S. E. Axon on the education
of the Ministry. One on Saturday
morning by Rev. W. M. M. .Cald
well on the Sabbath .Schools in con
nection with the Church. One on
Sabbath morning by Rev. J. W. Ba
ker, Missionary Sermon. All of
which done credit to the Reverend
gentlemen who delivered them. For
me to undertake to give anything
like a synoysis of one or all them, 1
think would be injustice to them.
They were only heard to be appreci
ated. All felt that it was good to be
there.
The Presbytery adjourned on Sab
bath night to convene again at Sar
dis Church, in Floyd county, on the
3rd day October next, at 74 o’clock
p. in.
At Harronsburg, Ky., on Monday,
Isaiah Gabbart, who was shot on
Sunday in the Public Bquare by
Henry Noel, diod of his wounds. The
combat took place in the presence of
many citizens, and had its origin in
an election. The men met, and ad
vancing towards one another, fired
every chamber of their respective re
volvers, then clinched and fought it
out by using the pistols as clubs.
When separated it was ascertained
Gabbart had been mortally wounded.
Dying, he exonerated Noel.
“My dear,” said a husband, in
startling tones, alter awakening his
wife in the night, “I have swallowed
a dose of strychnine!” “Well then,
do for goodness sake lie still, or it
might corns up!”

It is a charucteris.ic of the human
race to dislike efiort. If wo had the
power in our bauds, we would ban
ish labor and its host of car«s from
this world. So heavily does the load
of indolence test upon us that it. is
the great struggle of life.to ressist its
depressing influfirtta Indolence is
man’s greatestToe in this matter of
effort, and he is a brave man who
wins the day. Here is tho origin ol
more than half the troubles of unsuo-
cessfnl men. They submit rather than
exert themselves. There are a thou
sand foBoiimtim* forms in which the
tempter allures ns. lie bids us wait
a “more convenient season,” Or “wait
u rrti HwiTHUtlrin gTtrrnTu p7 - 'Go rite fit
yourself with making good resolu
tions to do better to day, leave their
performance to the future. “But be
not deceived if you plant hot, neither
will you reap.” In the great field of
life happiness and prosperity come
only to those who sow the seed of
diligence. Gain, then occupy the
portion Heaven has assigned you;
enrich the soil, til! it faithfully; cut
down the weeds, and reap the har
vest which must inevitably be yours.
Again the world’s wisdom is, that
“wlmt is worth having is worth
working hard for.” We prize things
in proportion to what they cost us.
Labor sweetens the reward. Enjoy
ment is relative in its nature, it is
not huw much wo have, but how
much it costs us which furnishes the
highest pleasure.
That is no gains, which falls to us*
indeed it cannot be. Remember
then, that the richest in thought end
knowledge, in power and. wealth, who 1
works thtt most persistently. Perse
vere, persist, and never give up the
ilict until the victory is yours.
Count not the cost of the efiort, nor
be dismayed by the magnitude of the
enterprise. “Where there is a will
there is a way.” “He can, who
thinks he can.” We often wonder
that, that was not dono before
which we considered impossible be
fore we undertook it. Energy ia ac
complishing every day things which
a few years ago would have been
considered the greatost of miracles.
In achievement there seems to be
no limit to man. Why? simply be
cause of his indomitable energy, or
iu other words, the pains it takes to
succeed.
Take this factor out, and man be
gins to retrograte. Right here is the
difference iu men. All are the ar
chitects of their own fortunes. All
must quarry out of the mine of self,
the stone? which are to build up
character. Hew then with might
and main. Remember, that “labor
conquers all things.” Remember,
that this world of ours is under an
inflexible law of rewards and pun
ishments which dispenses the gains
only to those who work.
