Dear Readers : As we hare re
cently visited a portion of the many
pleasant little cities of NorthwostGeor
gia, and enjoyed all the hospitalities
which a charitable people oould possi
bly bestow upon any one, we do feel
that a great wrong would be committed
to our many readers, and the dear peo
ple whom we have visited would suffer
vile injustice at our hands were we to
return home,set ourselves down upon
the even tenor of our ways without
giving you some idea of the climate of
northwest Georgia and the manner ii
which we were entertained. At i
meeting of this association at Gaines
ville last year, Cartersville, situated
on the Western & Atlantic railroad,
was chosen as the place for holding
the present meeting.
Our first object therefore will be
describe as near as possible the
traces of our journey and the scenes
which, met our view. Our visit and
the scenes which we. enjoyed
raude more pleasant from the fact that
we were accomnauicd by our family,
- In company with Mr. E. B. Waters
•and wife of our town, and Mr. F. S.
Rucker and wife, of Flint ttiver facto
ry, we left our home and had a very
pleasant ride to Macon. We found there
buss with two of the best horses iu
front to be found in the city, owned
by Mr. B. Dub, of the Lanier House
This transportation we are proud to
say, stands ready., and waiting at the
arrival of every train, night or day to
iconvey its guests to this magnificent
hotel, which by the unceasiug energy
of its proprietor, has won a world-wide
reputation, and not to be surpassed by
any in the South. As to Macop we
shall have more to say ou our return.
At 9 .o’clock r. M , we again found
muVelves at the depot, and soou seated
one of those palace coaches of the

Rev. Mr. Morgan officiating.
tlit) TlmmaKvillo Times, Mr. Moors of
tlu- Mil ledge villo Union «fc Recorder
and a host of others too numerous to
month n; nil seemed to be in a.. most
pleasant nnd agreeable,humor.
B ing drawn' by one of thp.^esfc lo-
comolives and guided by one of . mtt.
hrewd engineers of. which the
Cunt ml railroad can boast, wVZdjMthed
forward at the speed .of forty nffj&H an
hour. It is dtie fcbo Central mid' South
western Railroads that we tender them
our best wishes and sincere thanks for
the kindness so freely extertcled Ais on
all like occasions. We have heard much
complaint against these companies on
account of their high tariffs on freight,
etc., but when we coipe to consider the
vast amount of money which it takes
*to keep this invention in operation, \fe
are constrained in our own minds to
'believe they are justifiable to a certain
extent, nevertheless we have alwayi
been a warm supporter of these great
benefactors.
After having traveled the entire nigHt
as the dawn of day approached a most
beautiful sight presented itself to ou,r
view. The lofty peaks of the Blue
Ridge mountain with its hoary heaji
extending toward the skies, reminded
us that the Gate City, the Capital q£
the empire State of the South, situated
in the bosom of the hills of north
Georgia, was. near at hand.
Arriving in Atlanta at 5:5 on Wedr
neaday morning, with our appetites
keen for breakfast, we were met and
made welcome by a host of friends to
enjoy the hospitalities which Atlan
ta would so freely gave on this oedy-
sion. Soon we found ourselves within
that mansion of buildings the
KIMBALL HOUSE
and never have we seen its spacious
halls so handsomely adorned and the
whole building presented a lively and
prosperous appearance. The clerks
seemed fearful that something might,
be left undone that would tend to mar
our pleasure. The table was nsurpassed
the servants attentive, and the hotel
altogether is, first-class in every respect.
At Atlanta the Cartersville Cornet

Married,
After our forms had been closed
and carried to press the following
marriage was reported- to us :
.•At. the • residence of the .brides
brother, Mr. William Gunn, in Chat
tahoochee, county,on Sunday evening
last, Mr. Henry Peed, of Butler, to
Miss Nancy Gunn, of Chattahoochee
county. Mr. Robert Patterson, offi
ciating. The marriage was quite un
expected to all. even the nearest re
lations. Their many friends, wish ^ . .
tiicm much pleasure and happiness, (bad come from Cartersville the mghtj
previous to meet tho Press Association
and accompany them hack to Curters-
tliey too added much to the en
joyment of the occasion.
FOR IWKTJIUYILLK.
On the morning mentioned above,
Governor Brown placing at the com
mand of the 4 ‘Association,” a hand
some train of ears, our party moved off
uud were soon dying along through the
heart of the lofty hills aud through the
•ich valleys of Cherokee Georgia. The
different crop prospects hero "Cere all
that any one could desire, and more
especially wheat crops, the yield of
which will be almost unprecedented.
It is all headed out and amnia to be
entirely free from rust. The stands of
corn and cotton aro. excellent. The
fruit crop is almost entirely destroyed.
About 10:30 our train reached this
beautiful and flourishing little city, sit
uated about-49 miles from Atlanta iu
the northwestern portion of the State,
surrounded by lofty bills nnd fertil
valley8, and we at once were captured
by the hospitable people of Carter
nnd each member properly assigned to
ihis home. It was our good fortune to
be cast, with Mr. James Summer of
the Bartow House, which is a .very
eat throe story brick building situated
n tho east side of the railroad. We
found everything at this excellent ho
tel in perfect order, and notwithstand
ing the Superior Court of Bartow
jounty being in session, and a very
argo crowd being in attendance, -the
clever and enerjetic proprietor never
failed to bestow his hospitality.
At r ll:30 the members of the Asso-
cirtion and a large concourse of citi
zens assembled at the Opera House>
which is the most perfect gem of a th6
atre we have ever ficen. Bill Arp wai
introducted by Mr. William Anderson
of Cartersville. After which Major
Smith arose and responded in a brief'
address; replete with cordiality amt hu
mor. Hon. Mark A. Cooper was then
introduced by Mr. Aq.derscin,who read
a paper on the^resources, mineral and
agricultural of Georgia,
After transaction of some impoitant
business the Association was presented
with r very large and handsome wreath
of flowers from Mrs. WVH. Felton.
In the afternoou,a very pleasant ex
oursiou was enjoyed ou tho Cheroke
railroad to Taylorsville. »
At. 8 o’clock on Thursday morning
the Association assembled iu the Op<
House for the purpose of concluding
tho business for the present year, and
to determine} upon place for holding the
next Press Convention. Very cordial
Invitations were extended from Chaly
beate Springs, Cuthberfc and Rome, but
Cuthbert was finally chosed by a major
ity of the members present as tho best
place for holding tho next Press Con
vention which meets in May. Tho
President, Mr. J* H. Estill, then an
nounced that on tho 9th of October
next, the centennial of the death of
tli<!'gallnnt Jasper would be celebrat
ed with proper ceremonies and n
grand military display *t Savannah,
Tho corner stone of a monument to
the memory of the immortal Sergeant
would also be laid on that occasion.
By verjuo of his authority ns Presi
dent of the Association fail tho offi
cers of that body had been re-elect d)
he would therefore call a meeting of
the Association at that time and place.
At. 9 o’clock P. M. on Thursday a
large .crowd of happy souls boarded tho
egular passenger train for Atlanta
with many shouts of joy and best
wishes, for the citizens of Cartersville.
Arriving at Atlanta about 11 o/clock
we changed cars for Macon, leaving
a large number of tho members in
Atlanta. Quite early on Friday morn
ing we again found ourselves at the
Lauler House, and enjoyed one of
the most delightful breaktast that
tongue can tell, but not like our fel
low citizen wo governed our apethes.
The day was spent in calling on the
various merchants,among whom were
Geo. S. Oboar, a most excellent gen-
man and keeps one of the best stocks

‘BUSINESS IS BUSINESS ."
The undersigned feols compelled to
confess that lie must get down * to his
knitting and work for., a l s *-W f and
pay for wlmt he gets. This is of coarse
very humiliating to a “white-man,
hut then,there is no use mincing wOrdw
over it. • ,
That “everv t ub should stand on its
own bottom,’’ is a piece of Scripture
that is doubt lest u mystery to most
persons, hut then, 1 believe, that in its
practice there would be mure genuine
religeon in tho country, than comes by
“Faith,” or any other technical theol
ogy, and that all men should observe
it, us well us women who carry home
steads or estates in theii own names,
But to make a long mutter short, T
wish to go largely uud lucratively into
the “Practice of Medicine,” an 1 to
pledge my best efforts to give imiisfao-
tion to all who give me their con fi'dunpe,
and fair compensation. But I 'would
seriously advise all who neither would
or could “yaw,” Dml it. is a bad thing
to be always taking medicine.
