Wiley Hand says Cedartown is the best place in the world to test and operate new machinery. A fellow gets so many suggestions gra tis. The council is laying some plank walk down on the South end of Main Street. Dr. Bradford was the happi est man in town lust week. His wife presented him witli a nice little daughter. Mr. Richard Gammon has the finest patch of clover, we will wuger a peanut, in Nortli Georgia. It just cannot be beaten. More real improvements in the way of new buildings and repair ing old ones going on in our town now than for several years past. The case of Polk county vs. John 0.

Parents should be very careful about the diet of their little ones. Will Mr. J. B.

Huntington runs the Dolly Var- den, Fancy. It 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. W. H. Woods. This gentleman comes to the front with an announcement that if be can’t get money for his work, (which he deserves) he will take barter— green or dry hides, beeswax, tallow —anything for trade. Mr. Woods, by his card, indicates that he wants work. He iB not blessed with many of thiB world’s goods, but hs will work. Give it to him. I. T. Meo. The card of this young gentleman appears in onr columns again. Mr. Mee lias made a reputation surpassed by none for honesty and integrity in all his dealings. He is a worthy man, and all tilings being equal, he should get all the tin-ware and stove trado For a cool, refreshing drink try a glass of Soda Water at Burbank & Jones. 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 Ice cold Soda Water, 6 cents a glass with any syrup, at Burbank A Jones. 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. Somethlug Mutual. 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.

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.

ROCKMART LOCALS. Hock mart, Ga., May 20, 1878. Cold weather again this week, nearly frost. Cotton dying badly. Little bugs eating the corn and vegetables. Wheat in some localities badly rus ted, and us a general crop badly in jured. Oats low and wunting rain. The Spring oats will not get high enough Preaching in Rockmart three nights tins week by Hov. Mr. Am mons, a Christian preacher with good congregations. llev. Mr. Tain preuched at Van Wert last Sunday to ft good congre gation. Rev. J. W. Buker, closed his min isterial year at this place on the first Subbath inst., and with it his minis terial labors closed here. The people of Rockmart were very sorry to give him np, as his connection here for the lust year and a half with them has endeared him to them very much. The Presbyterians ars now without a minister until another cun be se cured. Every body and their Grandinatn- my went to hear the Mormons preaoh last Sunday evening. Bishop Pearc , a Mercer, nor a Thornwell could not have collected a larger congregation. 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 discovered a slate rook set up very oonspicnonsly in a bush near the road side, and on going to it we dis oovered letters or marks rather illeg ibly inscribed thereon, and after pat ting on our specks and deciphering for u long time we was enabled to make out the following inscription.'
