Death claimed all that was mortal of Wiley Hand last Sunday morning at one o’clock. He lmd been confined to his lied from measles. Recovering, inflam mation of the stoumeh and bowels set in and resulted in his death. We do not intend in this to give anything like an extended notice of the deceased. Other hands who knew him better have been selected and at an early day we shall have pleasure in publishing his obituary. The limited time we were permit ted to enjoy his acquaintance and friendship, was most pleasant He was correct in his dealings, kind, charitable and noble hearted. We regarded him as one of our best friends. His family has lost a treasure—his wife a loving husband—his children a devoted father. The community has boon bereft of a good citizen.

Gapi. West couldn’t see it that much, so there was no sale. We understand the Captain stated that he did uot want to buy the road if some one else could be induced to do it; but, he would make them an offer of #30,000, and give them fifteen days to accept or reject. It seems to us really, that Atlanta is standing iu her own light in re> gard to this road. There is one thing we pesurae which may be sot down with some assurance of certainty, viz.' Cedartown will have a railroad, and that before long. It will be either built from here to Rockmart, to the Selma, Rome and Dalton, or from here to Rome uuder the old North and South charter. The latter prop osition might prove too true for At lanta’s good if she be uot on the alert. There is no decrying the richness of the territory adjacent to the line of this proposed outlet. Tho coun try is fertile, aud fhe farmers are wealthy. Tho merchants of Gedar town are doing a good business— never better. Capt. West lias his thousands invested here, and all to gether they are clamorous for an outlet, and an outlet they will have. Atlanta, by a comparatively small outlay can lay all this wealth at her own doors and thus divert it from the direction where it will inevitably go if some movement is not made and that quickly. A hint to the wise is sufficient. %3T MorclmntB, ir you want to pay cash for CROCKERY, Glassware, Lamps, Chimneys, Show Cnees, Buckets, Brooms, Tubs, Dish Pans, Dippers Milk Pans, otc., send to McBiiidk A Co., Atlanta, for prices, and you will make money. - Case McBiudr js Co. muiiufucti sellas Cheap as any manufacturer In tho country.
