EaT Carrollton continues to improve yV \ new citizens are constantly com ing in. jajT A couple of road notices ap pear this week, to which we invite the attention of those interested. jar “Skeeting” is the order of the this morning, and the boys are making it jolly. They say it beats a skating rink all to death. jar The prospective early comple tion of the Savannah, Griffin and Xorth Alabama K, li, is infusing new life into our citizens, and there is a lateral rattling of dry bones. jfcT Messrs, llodahan, Benson and pieman expect to get their new stoHin saw mill into operation, in a few h\% when they will be ready to sup ply the great and increasing demand % lumber. Yuvr&n.—A dozen more new busi ms houses, to supply the increased demand of business men, who are con stantly prospecting our town with the ver of locating : Also rtbout fifty new' residences for the people to live *in who want to come here. J§rThe young people of Carrollton, who are fond of “tripping the light fantastic toe," expect to have a dancing party at the Court House, on the evening of the 14th inst. As this fe leap year, it is expeected that every young lady will do her duty, and “make hay while the sun shines." All are invited to attend. Cold Weather. —The past week bis been exceedingly cold. The pres ent cold spell at cording to the “mem ory of the the oldest inhabitant,” has not been surpassed in many years, hate yesterday a slight snow fell, just covering the ground, after which it commenced sleeting, and to day the wow is almost as hard as ice. The weather has not vet broke, and the prospect for more snow is rather flat tering. We have been shown by Mr. P- hi. Garrison of this place a turnip weighing about five pounds. Mr. Gar fisonhas been very successful in their vulture and flatters himself that he knows how to kirn up things. Mr. G. will continue to hold the belt, until somebody turns him down by present ing ns with a larger one. As soon as the necessary build 'ng can be erected, Mr. Smith forin 'r'.v ot Savannah will open a regular wholesale and retail grocery establish nie'it in Carrollton Mr. Rod ah an pro poses putting up for kirn a business ‘" lls e, on one of his lots just below the b'tel. This will be the first business ‘'" lse °fi the public square, but .as h’arrolKon has got to “ spread herself ’ " w might as well commence at once. Carrollton Law Club.—We mn ' that the Law Club was soe *‘esstuiiy org an i ze £ on last Monday ’"Si'b after which they had quite an foresting discussion on the Cousti *'itioaality of State aid to railroads. 11 question was ably discussed both h lO at >d con, the arguments used be- n --5 so evenly balanced, tiiat the presi >t begged for further consideration 'l ( ' re giving his decision.

Kramer. Mr, D., has secured as salesman, the services of our young friend Ben BroWttj formerly with Blalock New. Ben in addition to being one of the cleverest and most accomodating young men in the coun try, is a No, 1 business man, and Mr. 15. has done well in securing his ser vices He extends a general invita tion to all of his old friends to call round and see him. J. F. Pope. — We would call the attention of those wanting groceries to the advertisement of this gentle man to be found in another column. Mr. Pope is a young man full of ener gy and life. Though he plays a “lone band ” he expects to play a full one, and sell groceries as cheap as ‘*any other man.” He is now receiving a considerable addition to his stock, to which he invites the attention of the public. In the matter of boots and shoes, he thinks he can offer a bargain* as be is receiving a lot which he pro poses selling cheap. Call and see him. Change of Base. —Mr. E. G. Kra mer has, during the past w r eek, moved into his new Store in the Edgeworth building, where he will be happy to see bis many friends and numerous customers. Mr. K. though but a short time in Carrollton, has built up for himself a fine reputation as a busi ness man, and is enjoying, as be merits, a splendid patronage. In the large and commodious store, into which he has just moved, he has plenty“ of elbow room” for “ spread uRg himself,” as he intends to do, du ring the coming year. IDs advertise ment, containing the basis upon w hich he does business, can be found in our columns, and as will be seen by consulting it those having the cash, and wanting to buy goods cheap, would do well to call upon him. Written fur the Carroll Couuty Times. Mr. Editor :—Please for the sake of curiosity allow me a little space in the columns of your valuable sheet. To the mathnaeticians of the Times, and the experts in problems, I respect fully propound the following: A coach leaves Charsleston for Carrollt on every day m the year, start ing at six o’clock ir. the meaning, find makes the trip in seven days. A coach leaves Carrollton for Charleston every day starting at five o’clock in the mourning, and makes the trip in seven days. 110w r many coach es will a traveler going from Carroll ton to Charleston meet on his journey? Any reader of the Times, solving the above and publishing the same will be acknowledged in the Carroll County Times. W.4T. D. Sand llill,Ga., Jan 25, 1872. A young lad who was called as a witness, was asked if he knew the na tnre of an oath, and where he would would go if he told a lie. He said he supposed he should go where all the lawyers went. &ST The lawyers of Carrollton have organized themselves into a debating society for tire purpose of discussing legal and constitutional subjects.

The Barman Ambassador will have a pleasant reception at Buckingham Palace. He is the bearer ot a gold naetaoe weighing ten pounds, as a present for Queen Victoria. The tedious routine of flirtation, in troduction, courtship, engagement and marriage was successfully gone through with by an Arkansas couple in thirtvsix minutes. a correspondent sends us tlie follow ins; Etvgina for the benefit of the young peo ple who are generally interested in such things; My first is in you, but not m me ; My second is in fun. hut not in glee; -My third is in -queen, hut net in king; My fourth is in sound, but not in ring; My fifth is in knife, hut not in fork; My sixth is in flask, but not in coi k ; My seventh is in tune, but not in song: My eight is in right, but notin wrong; My ninth is it> owl, but not in hawk; My tenth is in run, but not in walk; My eleventh is in bad, hut not in good ; My twelfth,is in V»rk, but not in wooS; My thirteenth is in land but not in sea ; My fourteenth is in thy, but notin we; My whole is a word contamieg suU the vow els of the English language.

A young man at Portsmouth, N. H. recently won a bet by eating two pounds of raw beefsteak. An Itallian nun died of grief at be - compelled to vacate a cell she had occupied for fifty years. Georgia Provincial Press. From the last Newnan Herald, we learn that the newly elected Mayor, Col. Ben-y has donated the salary of S3OO, voted to him by the Council, to the different churches of that place. The Defender reports Newnan as ‘‘quietly but rapidly improving.” The same paper has a first rate ar ticle upon the re-establishment of the Georgia Military Institute, and also as usual, an enthusiastic editoral upon the diamonds, gold, Ac, of Georgia. The editor expresses himself as confi dent that the day is not far distant when diamonds will be discovered in Georgia, and bases ibis assertion upon the fact, that the same formation exists along the Southern gold belt, that does in parts of the w orld where diamonds have been found, and as diamonds have always been found, in connec tion with it, he does not believe this country will prove an exception. The Griffiin Middle Georgian says, that is has been shown the ground plan of a building to be erected in that city, to be used as a National Bank, and thinks from the well known character of the men at the head of it, that it will certainly be built and used for the purpose designated. We have the pleasure of welcoming this week to our exchange list, 7he Georgia Enterprise , published at Covington Georgia. From it we gather the following items: On the 21st inst. the down through freight trains collided, the rear train running into the front one, 3 miles above Ber zelia on the Georgia R. R. One ne gro was killed, and the conductor slightly and engineer seriously bruis ed. Various improvements are going on in Newton county, and the Enterprise boasts of its energetic young men, and pretty girls. The editor of the Haw'kinsville Dispatch , wants some sugar cane to plant. He will take “long sweetniiig in bis’n.” The same paper says that more im provement is going on in Hawkins ville than for the last tw r o years. The Dispatch tells about a farmer in Dooly county who has on hand thirty eight bales of cotton, which he has raised in nine gears, and thinks this is a remarkable incident in cotton culture, and wants to hoist the name o<f the gentleman, for President of the Georg : a Agricultural Society. We fail ed however “to see” anything “re markable” in the above; excepting that the gentleman has the cotton on band. So far as the yield per year is cctafcdined, Bro. Woods, we can go you several better than that, way up here in “Old Carroll.” The editor of the Dispatch, who, by the bye, is a clever fellow, and de serves his good luck, has been presen ted by a friend, with the hind quarter of a “three months old pig,” netting, forty five pounds, and consequently “he feels his keeping,” and gives said friend a first-rate puff. The Appeal & Advertiser of Mad ison reports that R. R. Thunnand of that place was thrown from his horse on the 21st inst, and had his shoulder dislocated. A serious difficulty occured at Watkei+svilie on the 20th inst., in which W. A. Marable cut a frightful wound, in the neck of Aaron Bearden. The wound is thought to be fatal. Marable was arrested in Madison, by brothers of Bearden. The Herald reports Thomaston “as still tramping the path of progress,” and soon thereafter, we are no longer held in doubt about the direction she is “progressing,” from the following: “We deem it our duty to call the attention of the City Council to the disturbance and disorder recently, in the form of dog fighting on the streets. During the past week we have seen on the streets quite a number of little boys and “jphiste” dogs, occasionally disturbing the public Square with a veiling and gnashing of teeaJi worse than a “panther with a grindstone on his tail.” The editor ot tire Herald grows el oquent upon the late snow. Here is the way he “does it up.” “Hear him for his cause and be silent that you may hear:” On Thursday afternoon about 3 r.M., the earth began to draw On her robe of spotless white. Merry voices from all directions exclaimed that it was snowing. The beautiful fleecy flakes wended through the aerial depths to to earth, until after the mantle of dark ness had been drawn around the foot stool of Omnipotence, ceasing when the surface had been covered three in ches . Many miniature battles were fought, in which white missiles were hurled by tiny hands with tapering fingers, and instead of shrieks and groans and dying agonies, teeny laughs and cheerful voices filled the air. Among the casualties, the cor ner of one coat tail was tom off, and watch chain and hook broken up, one cravat dislocated. The editor of the Palmetto Gazette is elamoring for a College, He certainly needs one, if we may judge from the columns ofthe Gazette. Zack Crumford accidentally shot himself through the finger in Palmetto on the 26th. Mr. T. W. Wood w’Bs married to Miss M. A. Kidd in Palmetto on the i 23rd. A man by the name of Taut, shot another by the name of Vance, in Pa’metto, on the 26th. The wound is not considered dangerous. The local column of the last LaGrange Reporter contained nothing of gener al interest. It is filled up almost en tirely with “puffs,” the writing of, we suppose, the editor considers, one of the necessary requsites of a “good newspaper man.” Frieud Willing ham though, is excusable, as he is naturally gassy anyway. Upon the “heavy” side, of the Re porter , we find an article upon proc lamation printing, in which the edit or claims that his paper was the first in the State, that made war upon Bul loeks squandering the State Printing Fund. It w inds up, however, by sta ting that proclamation printing is “very necessary,” and bids for some of the same from Gov. Smith. We always knew' that Willingham was fond of “pap.” In another place we read where the editor lamenteth, that he was not at the late Press Association, and sug gests that the May meeting be held in Atlanta, and that after the duties of the meeting are performed that the press should take a little excursion, via Macon, Savnanah Arc. Again, we always knew that Will lingliam loved “Artillery Punch,” and was longing for another excursion down the Savannah to Fort Pulaski. His last words will yet be, as Grady of the Rome Commercial predicts; “I do not fear to die, for I know that I shall go to Savannah, where ‘Artillery Punch’ aboundeth.” The Senoia Journal is one of the neatest papers that comes to our office. It is a credit to the live little towm of Senoia. We clip the following from the last issue: Col. John B. McDaniel of Bowdon made a brief call in our Office yester day. He reports Bowdon prosperous and hopeful. The prospect of the College there is flattering. The Colonel show ed us a specimen ore from his gold mines which indi cates to us that they are valuable. He expects to work them more exten sively soon and w r e hope he may be richly rewarded for he is a worthy man. Col. Styles of the Albany Hews is making his paper one of the newsiest and most readable in the State. The Colonel is a whole team when you get him started, and no editor in Georgia know's better how to get up a newspa per, than lie does; besides he has the ability to dash off with the utmost ease and facility, strong and leading ed itorials ufp©n current topics of the day. He combines in a pre-eminent degree, all bf the necessary qualities for what the editor of the LaGrange Reporter would style a “good aaew'spaper man.” Ladies who wear corsets and thin shoes ought to be arrested for break ing the constitution. A welcome ship -at any time— Friendship. Rome and the Noth and South Road, —We clip the following frouß the proceedings ot the City Council of Rome, «n Monday night, loth inst.
