The hens ore sadly neglecting their duty. Hams are scarce, and bacon is on the rise. Peat and potatoes were never more promising. Local items are as scarce as green backs hereabouts. Many of our farmers are begin ning already to sow fall outs. Everybody will go to Haral son uext week. * It is thought by some that the Chisolm brothers will notbe triad this court. Will Wright is absent in Har alson and Cleburn counties. Will be gone several days. If the signs pointed aright, Jim Morris joined his fortunes with a fine young lady yesterday evening.

Mr. Waddell preached at the Methodist church last Sabbath. There was more drunkenness and boisieronsriess in Cedurtown last Saturday than hus aver been known. Mr. Powell does his duty well, but it, U out.qf.the question ,fyr one man to manage as many as ware in town drunk on tint day.

Matters are assuming a serious as - peot in this distriot. Not satisfied with Judge Letter’s candidature the people harebet-n burdened with that of Dr. Felton. Close on tha heels of the Dr. and in bis shoes, came end Holtsolaw, the Republican candi date. Now, we have another in the person of Judge John Stowers, of Haralson county. He formerly an nounced himself an independent candidate for congressional honors ou yesterday. At the present wri ting we can not estimate Judge Stow ers’strength. He may run a lively race aud he may not. Some of his friends here think his chances denbl- ful. There is room for more candi dates. Who next! 1 TRIP TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. Editor Express.—On Mouduy, the 46th of August, N. J. Tumlin, wile and three children, and J. 0. Wad- Jell, wife and four children, with u wagon load of such things as conduce to creature comfort, and six colored individuals, principally male and fe male started lor Lookout Mountain in qneit of health and pleasure. Right hero wo conclude to remark that those persons who have never camped out, slept in a church, court house, shuck pen, nr Btable, or ate out of a frying pan with ten or more persons “sopping” out of it at the same time, know nothing nbout gen uine pleasure, or at leust hunger. We carried supplies sufficient to Inst us home, yet we bought full supplies twice, besides almost numberless eggs, quantities of butter etc., nnd took several square meals at the homes of some of the oleverest people we ever saw. A sense of fullness, way down in our bowels, oomes over ub when we think of those good peo ple. The second day, we reached Summerville, twenty-five miles be yond Rome, in Chattooga county, where we were the guests of that hos pitable gentleman, Hon. Samuel Hawkins. Everybody does, or ought to know Judgo Hawkins. Tis said, that there lias never been a case of the “blues” in ton miles of him, of such an overflowing amount of hu mor has tic. On the 3d day we pass ed Trion Factory, some of the party never having seen a factory in oper ation, we halted here several hours. Judge Algood the President and principle owner, is us polite and gon- tlemnnfy, and takes ub much pleasure in allowing points of interest to strangers, as does our Mr. A. G. Welt. The present factory, with all of its appmtenancos, is entirely new, nnd everything is gotten up, on the most modern and approved plans. Judge Algood and Trion Factory are an ornament to Georgia. Passing through LnFaycttc that evening, we were taken charge of by Mr. Joe Hall, who insisted that we take possession of a comfortable house he lias on the mountain which was thou vacant, he voluntarily ri ding eight miles to show us the place. We were delighted to find a good, comfortable house, a splendid garden, excelleut Jruiit.iuid as good a spring of iron and Biilplior water as can be found anywhere. We certainly shall never forget Mr. Hall and his great kindness, nor our near neighbors, Mr. anil Mrs. Haynce, to whom we were indebted for many kindnesses. For genuine hospitality, honesty and kindness, commend us to those good people on Lookout Mounluin. The first day or two after reaching the mountain was devoted to rest, and seeing such points of interest ns lay nearest us. The first of these was the Onlch, an immense chasm, twelve or fifteen hundred feet deep, and from a quarter to a half mile wide. Overlooking this chasm, one can plainly see everv house iu Tren ton, and every farm, save two in .the county of Dade. A description of this guloh is impossible. In the lan guage of tile late lamented aud learn ed Rev. Oh tries Wallace Howard, “It is a fearfully grand pseotacle.” Ou the Eastern side of the moun tain, convenient to LaFnvette, Tren ton, Rising Fawn, Uhattanooga and Ringgold, Mr. Howard built v beau tiful home, and when his useful life went out on the 25th day of Decem ber 1876. Few men ever lived in Georgia, who did more to advance the interest of the state than he, while none, in our judgment equaled him in his effort to advance and ele vate the agricultural interests of the state. It wus our pleasure nnd good fortune to spend a day with his fam- ils, which consists of his wife and three daughters. Lhey are surroun ded by everything which makes life charming. We saw and ate vegeta bles, apples, peuohes, grapes, water melons on the 3d day ol September, suoh as we valley folks never see. We also visited Mr. Bryan, recently of Savannah, a sou-in-law of Mr. Howard, who has bought a place and improved it, abont ono mile from Mr. Howard. Here we were feasted on the finest peaches and grapes of every variety we ever saw. Mr. Bry an has gone extensively into grape onlture, haying planted several acres in ’hem. Mrs. Bryan, with several negroes, was busy boxing up the grapes and sending them off to mar ket We visited also "point Lookout” overlooking Chattanooga, but fear ing we may weary you, and know ing this point has been often describ ed, we desist, besides the points on wbioh we have dwelt more at length are in our judgment, decidedly thq most interesting parts of Lookout Monntuiu. The mountain is special- ly adapted to raising oattle, (the pas turage being excellent) nnd vegeta bles and fruits of every kind. On our return, we were most hos pitably entertained hv Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Simmons, at LaFayette, and ltev. I. G. Cruwford and family in Dirt Town Valley, Chattooga county. Wo formed many very pleasant ac quaintances on ttie trip, among them Mr. W. 0. McWhorter, who had been stmlehed almost from death’s door by using the mineral water from Hull’s Spring. The lots around this spring have been laid oif town fash ion, and is now culled the town of Dillon. All in ail, it wav the most pitas ant trip we ever had, and we com mend Lookout Mountain, nnd its people to all our friends who desire to spend a few weeks next Bummer either for health or pleasure. At another time if you are willing we will write something about the speoial features of Interest which we witnessed. Iu this, we linvo been al ready too lengthy. T. & W. ROCKMART LOCALS. Rockmakt, Ga., Sept. 13, 1878. Cool weather for the season. Turnips and potatoes need min. Picking cotton goes on bravely. Some cotton fields neurly all open.

Two new bales cotton in town yes terday and one this morning. Mess. Whitehead, Jones & Co. bought the cotton yesterday. Thos. Moore A Co. bought the bale this morning at 10 cents. We would like to suggest to some of our young people in this vicinity, that they hold a meeting on Satur day evenings to do their talking and laughing, so that they can hear the sermon ou the Sabbath. Last Saturday evening whisky and beer flowed freely, and the effect wiis plainly to be seen. Several ri ots, one man, Tube Smith was struck with a weight and his hand badly cut. Look out boys it will serve you that way every time if yon indulge loo freely. Mr. HoHsclaw is a Republican candidate for Congress in this dis trict. Now is the time for the De mocracy of the seventh district to unite on that good and true man, G. N. Lester, and show to the Republi can party that we are a unit when danger threatens, nnd there is dan ger if the Republican party unite on him. Democrats, close tip. Hon. W. II. Felton was in Rock- mart last night from Haralson, left this morning for Yorktown. Report is, his hearers were few and far be tween in Haralson, at one point he had but two or three harers. Last Saturday evening whisky and beer flowed freely, and the effect was plainly to be seen. Several ri ots, one man, Tobe Smith was struck with u weight and his head badly cut Look ott boys H will serve yon that way every time if you indulge too freely. In these days of evil reports and political jugglery, a bit of really good news is to the human heart, as the gentle dew of Heaven to the parched flower. Yesterday morning the Rock- mart friends of onr esteemed fellow- oitizen, Mr. E. J. Dupree, were grat ified by a visit from that gentleman, the first in ten weary months, during which time he has been confined to hit bed. We extend our gratula- tious to Mr. Dupree, also to Dr. Doyle, formerly of this place, now ol Cedartown under whose medical di rection be is being rapidly restored to his wonted health and usefulness. Haralson County. Buchanan, Ga., fiept. 1 (j, 1878. As wo write we may announce that our friend Bill Mann is iu town to day because we hear him smite. Mr. Martin Key ou Beach Creek, has a new kind of corn which boars from four to twelve ears to the stalk hill ordinary distance. Mr. G. M. Roberts’ little hoy some time since was stricken down ivitli paralysis and lias been confined ever since. We arc glad to kuow howev er that lie will probably recover. In his speech at Buchanan Dr. Felton charged that Judge I,ester was running on n platform in favor of organizing what lie called the old wild cat banking system. Doctor Felton in his speech nt Buchnnnn and at TaUapoosa too, said that while Judge Lester was Emigrant agon’, lie was in his furni at his plow, toiling Tor his bread. Dootor Felton in his Bpeecli at Buchanan where there were a good many Republicans,, said that he was an independent candidate for Con gress, and at Tallapoosa where there was hut one or two Republicans he said that he was an Independent Demoeraft’ccandidate for congress. The boys in Uqclianan are amu sing themselves by conversing over a thread telephone, which is done by means of a course cotton thread be ing tightly drawn ht any desired dis tance. The one used here extends from Mr. Munroe’s store to Robin son & Jackson’s shop, ndislunccof one hundred yards; At each end is an oyster con, andipn ordinary whis per may be distinctly heard from one end to the other. Dr. Felton was billed for Buchan an on the Iltli inst., and for Talla poosa on the next duy the 12th. On tile 11 til nt about 11 o’clock the ven erable independent drove into Buch nnnn behind a little black mule which looked to he as stubbornly in dependent ns the doctor. After be ing greeted by a lew of his Rcpukli- tan friends, Dr. Felton went to t.lio court house, took the stand and com- meticed by suyuigTlmf he was an independent candidate for re-election to Congress, aud that his opponent wns Judge Lester, who claimed to be tlie standard bearer fur the little Ringgold ring. He said that he had no unkind feelings for Judge Lester nor for the members of the convention by which he was nominated. That, lie suppos od they were good honest men, nnd yet in almost the next breath he would in his most vehement style charge them with being a setofpo- litical tricksters, professional politi cians, thimble riggers etc., for cing the good people of the Seventh under their party Itish to the polls. After spending half an hour in abuse of the Ringgpld Convention whose members he at first supposed were good men, the doctor proceeded to discuss his record, to wliioli lie stock for about an hour, and finally wound up with his usual charges against Judge Lester. The crowd to which he spoke numbered about 65 voters, and we think it hut fair to say that half of these were Lester men. The doctor opened and con cluded his remarks without a single tap or whisper of applause. Doctor Felton epoke next day ac cording to appointment at Tallapoo sa. He was most respectfully an d attentively listened to by a crowd of 37, of which, 3 were avowed Felton men, 2 doubtful, and 32 straight out for Lester, and this tile doctor’s own appointment which had been pub lished for several days.

Jud undoubtedly does the Fancy Grocery trade of Cc- dartown; and in saying this it is no reflection on our other good mer chants, for ‘.heir attention being, drawn to heavier and more general stocks, they do not devote the atten tion to fancy groceries that Jud does.
