Tho hardhliipn to bo borne are in

That is a good enough ‘‘131 tek

The cili/.ens of Atlanta have pro
s tiled a petition to Min president, ask
ing him to pardon those who lmvn
been convicted of violations of the rov-
onue laws. By those petitions and tho
e(Torts of Hon. bon Hill, it is thought
tho pardons will ho grantod. Judge
Erskino and Altornel-General Furrow
signed tho petition. Wo hope tho
pardons will be granted.
Wo rocoivod a postal card a few
weeks Riiico, from F. 10 O. Lindsoy,
proposing to in die a contract with
us, at regular rates, to udvertiso birds,
pigs, feuthorless chickens, etc. Wo
Hot him down then as a swindler, and
paid no attention to his proposition.
Hero is what brother Morfiohalk, of
tho Cartorsvillo Adm'alc, lias to say
about him :
A SwiNDim—Having scon lately,
iu a number of our exchanges, an ad
vertisement purporting to oomo from
F. E. G. Lindsey, of Abingdon, Vn.,
Betting forth that In- would furnish
Fine Canary birds, Peacock’s, Guinea
Pigs, otc., etc., wo felt disposed to in
vest iu some of those novelties. With
that viow, wo wrote to brother Free
man of tho Calhoun 7b/e . j , who was
publishing the advertisement—-al
though wc saw it in half a dozen Geor
gia pupors—to know what terms Mr.
Lindsey oflerod, and when ho replied
that Mi. L. agreed to take advertis
ing at publishers rates, and pay one-
half cash, and ouo-lmlf iu birds, etc.,
wo thought there was something
wrong about it, as those people, like
fyic advertisers of Pianos, Organs, etc.,
visually require cash themselves, and
generally an amount equal in value to
the article to be advertised, but Mr.
Freeman nssurod us Ibis was Mr.
Lindsey's proposition.
Wo thought this was a good lliii g,
and wrote to Mr. Lindsey, to procure
an advert is muut. for tho Anvoc.wi;.
At tin* same time, liowtvo', wo wrote
to n reliable citizen of Adingdon, to
got tho status of Mr. Lindsoy, and to
know if it was a fact that lie was deal
ing in Fancy birds, S3 took, etc., iu that
city. Tho following is the answer re
ceived:

History of CVilartonn,
Mu. Editor:—I have just been
thinking that a hitttoiy of Ci <hit town
for (he Inst thirty-five years, I hough
imported, might he of iuteiest to
some of your readers.
In tho year 1811 I bccuinc acquaint-
od with Cedartown, at which lime it
had but little ex dept tho name. At
that lime the whole •>( what is now
Cedartown, north of the bip'ii'.
church, was owned by the late Asa
Prior, and If I. mint • k" n it Mr. Prior
was tho only citizen. J lo owned two
dwellings, the ono now occupied by
Dr. borders, aud the other stood on
or near tho spot now occupied by Dr.
branch's residence. y
There was an old store Iioiiko about
where Mr. FfuLhcrslou's stahlo now
stands. This house was vacant until
tho latter part of that your (1811),
or some lime the next your, when Mr.
it. H. .Simmons put up a stock of good*
iu it. At that time there win no
railroad nearer than Madison, G.u,
and coiiht qtiently goods wore very
high. Calico sold us high as forty
cents per yard. Factory thread $1 75
to $2 50 per bunch, according lo No.
Salt $2 50 per bushel of 50 lbs. but
at that time bread and meat were
plentiful aud cheap. (Join 15 lo 20
cents per bushel; beef 1^ to .*} cents
per pound; pork 2.J to 5 cents, often
on time.
Money was plentiful for a hack
woods country; hut iri tho same timo
some of it was very much depreciated.
A good deal of "City domicil” and
"Railroad” money afloat that was * be
low par," but was lukun f m goods by
Mi. H. at par.
Tho 5 and 10 cent piect s wero then
being introduced, and were taken for
goods at (1J und P2A cents, there be
ing a good deal of money of these de
nominations in ii’io and cm rout at
that timo. ‘ ■
Wo then had a uorfioimiil from
Van Wert, 1 think, to Cave {Spring
and back, ouco a week. Pontage in
(leoryiu, at that time, was
very high, compared to presold rates.
I have known as high as lit , eolith
paid for a t ingle letter. Mr. Simmon*
was posl-master while he remained
hero. I think ho left hero some time
in tho year 1811 und went to Cave
Spring. Mr. 15. F, Bigelow was the
next merchant, who came tho sumo
year that Mr. S. left. lie remained
(a part of the time Bigelow A Wein
er)‘tho solo merchant for perhaps
eight or ten years. In fact hut few
others tried it (und all of them short
lived) till ttfior the late war.
I have heard that prior to tho time
of the coinni nccincnt of this history,
Mr. L II. Walthall sold goods hero,

not scorn to think his corn sum cor-1

as the sum has just been It jitiupliaut-;

lotion of the sum us at first stated, il j npr.Btf.
there was an on or iu his iimltipliea- |
tion. At first tho sum was so worded
as lo mean that tho pay was to be
taken at 00 cents per net 100 lbs for
hauling; and tho corn at $1 per net
100 IbH., not 81 per bushel. Tho sec
ond sum is stated lo mean that the
corn should he priced at $1 per bush
Tho same solution applies to hi t sec
ond min, by converting cents ji::»
equivalent pounds, and that makes
tho sum seem puzzling. Now as A
gets 00 cents tor hauling 100 lbs «»f
corn, and takes his pay in corn at $1
ptu- bushel, he gt ts 0-10 of 50 lbs. not
0 of 100 lbs. Six-tenths <>t 50 is
89.0. When 100 lbs islanded for b.
II.o hauler gets 88.0 pounds of corn
and both get 188.0 ](jh when 00 cent*
worth q( hauling is done. Now w». 1 .

In the year 1842 a behind was com*
inonoed in tho "old Academy," as it is
Ntill known, by Col J5. T. Mosoly, from
1‘enliidd, Gn. Mr. Mosely taught in
the Raniu house, six years, 1 think in
succession. After which h- taught
near Mr. William Peek’s for sound
years. This Bchool was patreniz d by
all the surrounding citizens who lmd
children. Many young men o.mo
from other counties. Several follow
ed Mr. M. from Green couuty, in or
der to uv.dl themselves of hi, supciior
abilities ns a leachor. Mr. Mosely
wjh not a fast man, but he It id the
reputation of being a thonnujh teach
er. lie began with Webster's spelling
book, and although ho tMight all tin
branches of an English education and
tho classics thoroughly, ho did not
neglect to touch tho Spelling book
thoroughly, also.
In 1842, und for several years after,
there wuh but ono church house, and
but ono organized oliurch (Baptist)
that 1 remember in the whole valley.
Tho "old Academy'’ was the church
then, and 1 think Rev. John Holmes,
or Hampton Whatley, was the pastor
in charge. Cedartown then had no
physician, oxoupt E. II. Richardson,
Sr., who' lived then where ho does
Then there was no lawyer, except
John l\ Colquitt, who though modi >7
and nmissimiifij/, did sometime prac
tice in tho Jowei courts.
At out 1852 or '53 Pols county was
made fiom Floyd, Paulding and Car-
roll and Cedartown became the coun
ty cite. Since that tune the popula
tion has gradually increased. Tuo
town now has nine (Cherokee Iron
Company's store not excluded) dry
goods stores, four family groceries,
two Drug stores, and ouo book store,
wild iu these stores are from onu to ;
tl\o male persons. There mo eight
practicing physicians, and nine law
yers, with edict's hi tow n. Two of the
doctors and two of the lawyers are na
tives of the valley. There are at pres
ent three chinches tor whiles, and two
for blacks.
before the war, there were no col
ored churches, but the whites uud
l lacks occupied the same house, and
each church counted its while and col* j
ored m cm Luis, but simv tho blacks
have been made ‘free uud equal" they
arc not admitted in the white churches.
A few of the ei.izous of ihirty-tivo ■
