Mkkdklbsohn Piako 00., New York :
Ukntlkmkn — 1 am delighted with your
Upright Pianoe. Everything seems possi
ble with them. They have such a power
ful tone, that I can imagine myself play
ing upon a Grand, and yet they are sus
ceptible of the most delicate shades ot
expression. Their musical quality is love
ly, and for an accompaniment to singing,
1 wish to use only a Mendelssohn Piano.
Wishing you every prosperity, 1 am,
Yours respectfully,
Paolo Marik.
A terrible storm of wind and rain pass

ere pouring in on Mm by scores and if
they keep coming be will have to secure
the services of an aasisiant. In that
event he will want a man whocan fhrnish

furnish salt > and with bacon aud greens
all will have a good time.
Wesley Vandergriff. of Tickanetley
District, was lodged in jail one day last
week far larceny. Renorts say that he
had been light fingered for a long time
and the citizens had not been able tofas
teu crime on him. The other day, how
ever, he stole two boes from John Fowler
and hired himself to Marion Johnson to
hoe potatoes. While thus employed
Fowler came U|>on him, identified his
property aud had him arrested.

SKETCHES
OF THE
EARLY HISTORY
, “F
O I L M E li C O U N T Y
BY JtSV. B. B. QUILLIAIf.
KUMBKU XXV.
I stated til fit Henry Pettit liouglit out
Larkin Holt. Mr. Pettit came from Ruth
erford county, North Carolina. He had
a laigc family of children the most of
whom still live in Gilmer county. Three
of his sons still live on the old homestead
and the other one near by. They are all
useful members of the Baptist church.
One of them, J. F. Pettit, is a minister
aud a faithful worker iu tbe Master’s
cause. lam glad to know they are all
doing well. If you want to he treated
well you only have to visit the Pettit boys
and they and their good wives will make
you feci at home. Henry Pettit was a
good citizen ; lie was systematic in all his
dealings with his neighbors. He had long
been a member of the Baptist church ; he
taught his childreu morality ; especially
did be teach them temperance and to ob
serve the Sabbath day and bis early te-ich-
mgs have cropped out iu tbe life and char..
■aeter of tbe entire family. Mr. Pettit
was for many years one of tbe Judges of
tbe Inferior Court of Gilmer county and
no man was ever more faithful in tbe dis
charge of its duties and watched with
more vigilance tbe public interest. Gil
mer county never had an officer who took
a deeper interest in its prosperity than
Henry Pettit. Asa neighbor lie was kind
aud was always glad for ins friends to vis
it him. He had everything in its place
about histfarm and seemed always to be
ready for any contingency that might oc
cur ; he fully illustrated this in liis last
days. He seemed to t e conscious that his
days were about numbered and had his
farm surveyed to divide among his chit •
dren. I was sent for to write his will. I
found him up and cheerful, but lie said his
time here was short. I spent tbe day with
him and when I bad fiuisbcd up the will
he said he had no more to do in this wot Id
and was teady to leave it. Sure enough,
it was only a few weeks until his work
ceased. His aged and good wife died sev
eral years afterward. They both sleep to
gether in the family burying ground.
Lewis D. Ellington, oldest son of Rev.
Win, Ellington, and brother to C. A. El
lington, moved from Hatiersbam in Janu
ary, 1836. He bought the farm on Carte
cay above and adjoining Mr. Mcllan, on
which bis oldest daughter, Airs. Simmons
now resides. Here he lived until August,
1859. He was attacked with pneumonia,
and after an illness of eleven days death
claimed him as its victim. It would be
hard to say too much iu praise of this
good man ; he had belonged to the M. E.
church from early boyhood, had filled the
office of class leader for twsnty-flve years
and 1 never knew a man better adapted to
its duties than he. While he never was
licensed to exhort he was one of the most
gifted men in exhortation that I eyer lis
tened to. He never failed to make an im
pression for good. I have heard him ex
hort in class meetings, in prayer meetings
ana at camp meetings before the great
congregation and I never knew him to
make a failure, for the reason that he was
always in the spirit. He felt what he
said and the Divine Spirit always attended
his exhortations to the joy of Christians
and to the awakening of the unconverted.
I have never known a more useful man,
not only in the church but in his neigh
borhood. The vacuum caused by his
death lias never been filled i Cartecay
church and the few who still live there,
who were his neighbors, know the loss the
entire community sustained in his death.
He was not only a liberal supporter of the
church and all its institutions, but a friend
to the poor He always helped those who
were in distress ; in fact he was seldom
found on the wrong side of any question.
He was never hasty in forming opinions,
but when he did arrive at conclusions his
strong common sense enabled him to main
tain his position. Mr. Ellington raised
only a small family. Oue remains in Gil
mer, Mrs. Simmons. His wife survived
hint some fifteen years aud triumphantly
crossed over the river to join loved ones
on the other side. While penciling these
lines I am reminded of the fact that no
man who was the head of a family of all
the first settlers of that Cartecay neigh
borhood is now living except myeelf.
What a strange Providence, that in forty
five years only one of the original number
is left, and what changes have taken place
in the country and people. The first time
I was ever in the Cartecav settlement was
in the early spring of 1833. I was trying
to gift to Ellijay, but it had rained, the
creeks were up aud the river was swim
ming. I laid upon its banks for a half
day at the upper end of what was after
wards the farm of L. D. Ellington, wait
ing for the river to fall. It was a beauti
ful Sabbath day. The rain had ce-sed to
fail, the wind hail driven away the clouds
and all nature looked bright and ovely.
Late in the evening, just above tbe bluff
at the upper end of .Mrs. Mrnmons’ plant
ation, I swam the river on my horse. It
was a dangerous experiment—one' 'hat 1
have never reqieated since, but I bad confl
dt-oec in uiy noble animal, he had swam
the creeks front- the AuiicaJo.a Mouutaiu
lo the Gartecay river, find I frit that I
could trust him in almost any emergency.
He nobly strove against tbe current, but in
spite of all his efforts we landed fifty
yards lower down the -river than we ex
pected j but we made the voyage safely
and set out for our dent.nation about sun
down, arriving at my brother’s near Dili,
jay, title in the night, wet and huugry :
hut very soon tbe wants of nian and
Iteast were supplied and I laid down and
slept. How sweet ia res', to tbe Weary!

H. R. Foote, Esq.,
Ellijay, Gilmer Cos., Ga.,
Dear Sir.—l am
in receipt of your esteemed favor of the
11th inst. asking information in regard to
an exhibit of the natural products of your
section of the Stntc.
I thank you for the interest yum mani
fest in tlie matter, find forward the infor
mation you require. There is ato charge
made by the Exposition for sucß exhibits
as you designate. It is our purpose to set
forth to tiie world just what Georgia has
in natural resources and what fait he ok
tabled from tier soil in the shape of food
products, that we may iudttce capitalists to
engage in manufacturing here and settlers
to till the lauds unoccupied. SO much of
your letter as refers to vegrta'Je* I have
referred to the Department of Agrieluture
for reply. The slia|ie, size and quantities
of the timbers are left largely trt the dis
cretion of exhi itors. It is desirable, if
possible, to have them of uniform size,
and to have all that admit of a finish
planed and polished on one side. Most oi
the exhibits made at the Centennial con
sisted of specimens from two feet to two
and a half in length, so prepared as lo
show the bark, the natural grain in its
rough state and the polished surface of tbe
wood. In some cases this was done on a
single stick ; in others the *ood in the
rough state was exhibited side liy side witli
a piece of equal length polished or other
wise prepared to bring out its finer quali
ties. The railroad companies of the State
will transport all such exhibits free, and
your transportation would, therefore, he
from your centre to the nearest railroad
point. Very soon the companies will fur
nish instructions through their agents to
the people living on the line of the road,
which it would be well for you to obtain
for your further information. If I can,
at any time, furnish to you and your fel
low-citizens additional information of val
ue to you in this matter do not hesitate to
nsk for it, and don’t trouble yourself to
inclose stamps as we are ever ready to ob
lige all our fellow citizens with whatever
information they desire,
I am, riir,
Very truly yofirs,
H. I. Kimiiai.i,
