The cold spell last, week re
tarded the crops to a great extent.
In some few instances we have heard
of farmers plowing up their cotton
and in its stead, planting corn.
Wheat will be an average crop. Oats
is lookisg badly. We had hoped
that good crops of every kind would
be raised but fears are now enter
tained of a realization of it. Our
farmers deserve good paying crops
and it would be an incalculable ben
efit if they could only have them.

Mining Engineers.
It is reported that the Society of
Mining Engineers whioli meets in
Chntanooga in a few days will ex-
curt to this pluce and be the guests
of Capt. A. J. West. If our town
could arrange to give them a recep
tion it would not be amiss. These
men, devotees to Soience, coming
amongst us will prove a positive ad
vantage. By their coming, they will
ucquaiut .themselves with our people,
our olitnute and our soil. If they
will form opinious favorably, it will
prove an incalculable advantage to
onr whale section of the state. What,
us a people, we want is for the whole
world to know of our resources. The
minerals in Polk and Haralson are
invaluable and there is no need of
our hiding them under a half bushel.
Let’s welcome these men of Scieuoo
and we will be the benofitted.
The ukerskee Railroad.
If wo mistake not, the first Tues
day in June this road will be sold by
an order of the United States court.
Rumors are afloat that Oapt. West
of tho Oberokoo Iron works contem
plates buying it. If he should, of
oourse he will extend it to Oedartowo,
We will then linve an outlet and can
have a market of our own and be
dependent upon no town in any par
ticular. Not only the farmers and
tho townsmen will tho road beuefit,
but it will be of incalculable assist
ance to the Iron company. Wo hope
Capt. West may get the the road.
He represents a wealthy corporation
and should the road fall in their
hands they will finish it up substan
tially and equip it decently. We
presume the road will be narrow-
gauged to Oartersville. There are
some objections that are pluusable
which could be offered against this
at tho same time a narrow-gauge
beats no road all to pieces.
Capt. West, buy the road and let’s
all start afresh on the road to a fu
ture prosperity.
Dried Fruit.
“Coming erents cast their shad
ows before.” From present indica
tions there will be one of the largest
poaoli crops ever known to this coun
try. Providence, in thia"particular,
has smiled graciously upon us.
It is not too soon to begin think
ing about utilizing it. Nature will
soon have done all in her power, aud
it will devolve upon man to save the
fruit.
The old plan of sun drying is fast
playing out. There are many ob
jections to it. Sun-dried fruit is not
worth near as ranch. The process is
so slow that the fruit becomes fly
blown and very much colored.
While by steam or artificial drying,
these difficulties are obviated. Fruit
dryed by artificial heat retains its
color because the process is so quick
ly done that oxidation cannot possi
bly take place; likewise it is for the
same reason no worms are hatched
among it.
It will pay any farmer to either
purohaie one of the patent dryers;
or he can extemporise one. If one
man’s crop should not be large
enough for this trouble and expense,
let two or three neighbors club to
gether and dry their fruit Any
rats, we desire to impress upon the
minds of the people the importance
of artificial drying. If you want
the best prioes, by all meaus_fix to
oure them by this process.
The dried frnit crop can be made
an immense source of revenue, and
we desire to see our friends avail
themselves of it

Almost a Serious DlHculty,
While some hands were working
the road near Taylorsville, Inst week
a mischievous boy remarked, as a
dog passed along, that it resembled
a mulatto negro working witii the
squad. Tho negro replied that if he
did look like a dog he, (the negro,)
was at good as the boy. A larger
brother of the boy took the remark
np, and one word brought on anoth
er uutil blows were reached. The
white fellow knocked the negro
down. From this the negroes present
buckled on their armors, and of
oourse the white men present enme
to the rescue, After two or three of
the negroes were floored, Oapt. Jako
Devett interposed, and peace was
deolared. No bloodshed.

It is our desire iu the publication
of the Express not only to benefit
ourselves but also to benefit our town
utid country surrounding it Any
free advertising we can do that will
bring an honest, thrifty and indus
trious class of people to our section,
we arc more than willing to do it.
Our extended circulation and ar
rangements which we have perfected
are calculated to build np tho coun
try and tlmt at an early day. Now
while we ure doing our part, the peo
ple have a part to play. Every man
in Folk and Haralson county Bhunld
take Jho Kxprbbs. Give us your
patronage and we will you u paper
you need not be ashamed of. We
are just now in a position to benefit
every man indirectly to five times
his subscription. Ifyouhave friends
who have left this favored land, send
the Express to them and together
we will try and induce them to re
turn to tlioir first love. We must
stop emigration and go to work for
immigration. The day is dawning.
Soon the sun-light will shed its ef
fulgent rays upon our God-blessed
state and such a shower of immi
grants as was never seen, will pour
upon us. Wo have the soil. Wo
have tile society. We have tho
school and churoh privileges and the
political opinions of men ure in no-
wise questioned. Friends, lei’s see
what we can do. Help us, and out
of our profits the Express will visit
many a home where n man can bo
pursuaded to ooine and live with us.
These thoughts are given for what
they are worth. TCiu. are working
for our interests, at the same time
we are anxious to work for yours.

Heriens Accident to Mr). U. W. West.
The sad information came to us
lust Tuesday evening that Maj. 0. W.
West bud been thrown from bis borsu
and very dangerously hurt. We
learn that three or four of his rib
bones had been broken and that
pleurasy and pneumonia have eet in.
Great fears of his recovery are enter
tained ns the Major has arrived at
such a mature old age. It is to he
hoped, however, tiiat he may be j
spared to his family and friends. We I
heartily sympathize with them in
this their sad hour of affiiction.

There have been two Mormon preacli
ers here for the lust two weeks; wc
suppose their object is to got emi
gration to their country, and prose
lyte to their religion. They say
their object is to preacli the Gospel
in its purity. We do not think our
people will take to them muoh. The
ludies will not want partners in their
husbands, and the men we think will
not want to pay one tenth of every
thing they make into the Mormons
ohurch to keep up these tramps of
pleasure all through the country call
ing thomselvcB Missionaries. Our
people here treat them very kindly,
so much bo that they seem to tarry
a long spell, for it must be the kind
ness they receive that causes them
to stay here, lor we de not think
they ure getting much encourage
ment otherwise.
Going home the other evening we
