Tho Common wealth newspaper, of Atlata, has been rn-estiibl shod as an ovoning daily, published by tho "Com monwealth Publishing Company.” 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
