"When a vacancy exists in any olllco

The Cherokee Iron Works in
Full Itlusti
The Cherokee Iron Company luivo
been making preparations for several
months to manufacture iron, and but.
for un aooident last winter, would
have boon in operation several weeks
ago. Ou last Wednesday tho furnace
was filled with coal and ore, and at
4 o'eluek Thursday morning lire was
applied. The first lvu was made this
woruing. This is said to be the most
extensive works uf the kind in tbo
South. The capacity i f the furnace
is about thirty tons a day. The out
lay liy the Company has been about
three hundred thousand dollars, aud
we hope the income will he in propor
tion. H wo only had the railroad
completed our town would begin to
look up.
Ladies, we desire Lo call vour at

We find the following iu tho Rome
C'otiriur ol tho 20th ;
Mr. Dave Ford, the well known and
popular mnrchoiit of this city, last
Saturday went up to CaVtorsvillo on
some business errand. While I hero
ho met with Dr. Felton, representa
tive of Ibis district iu Congress. Dr.
Felton imparted to Mr. Ford some
information which will make tho Ro
mans heart to beat fast with pleasure
and hope. Dr. Felton says that in n
very few days ho expects to get the
appropriation of ton thousand dollars
for cleaning out tho Etowah, and
thirty thousand dollars for tho Coosa.
He thinks that work will bn com
menced on these rivers within thirty
days. He has the assurance of Pres
ident Huyes in reference lo this mat-
tor. Dr. Felton expects to he in
Rome iu I lie course of the next month
when he will make us a ‘l iver spocch.’
He 1ms high and strong hopes of gel
ling for these rivers much larger
amounts than tho above. Certainly
if there was overall internal improve
ment that tho General Government,
should aid in pushing forward this in
one. The opening of the Coosu river
is infinitely more than a mere help lo
Romi—it will he of great and, under
some circumstances, might bo of in
calculable benefit to tile gonorat gov
ernment. ThiaJbouefit can bu readi
ly seen, when wo state that by thia
proposed opening of tho Coosa there
will be from tbia point to llio Gulf an
iudesli unable means of communica
tion, being all tbo way by water. Wo
thank Dr. Felton, and llio mouihers
from North Alabama, for pushing for
ward this great work. Its comple
tion will ho a basis that any man tin
pioftd lo rest his reputation upon
Wo wish it God speed.

Tho French made of raising toma
toes is as follows: as soon as a clus
ter of flowers is visible, tboy top the
stem down lo tho cluster, which soon
push strongly and produce another
cluster of flowers ouch. When these

belong is also topped down to their
level; and this is done live times suc
cessively. By this means the plant
becomes stout dwarf bushes,not above
eighteen inohes high. In order to
prevent their falling over, sticks or

aloug tho rows, so as to keep the
plants erect. In addition to this, all

My doom is now sealed, Ibcreforo a
falsehood wouM neither diminish nor

of the killing of John McCormick, yet
I cannot alledge any thing cruel or
unkind to the court and jury trying
my case. Though it is said, while in
