Letter fYom Bowdon
We have received the following let
ter from Judge Shelnwtt of Bowdon,
with a request to*pubTisL, which we do
so with pleasure. The letter explains
itself:
fimroto Times: —Lest there may
some misunderstanding grow out of
the statement, in an article in your last
isfttre, in regard to the stockholders of
Bowdon grading t>ie Railroad from
Carrollton to Bowdon, enclosed I send
you an exact copy of the order, pass
ed by the President and Directors*
Thursday the 7th inst.
Arrangements are being made, hr;d
will be completed in a few davs, to
raise, and pav over the money accord
ing to the proposition, contained in
the order. As to procuring contrac
tors there will be no difficulty about
that. W e learn thaft several of the
contractors now engaged between
Newnan and Carrollton, will soon be
done their sections, and will not want
to stop at so small a job, but will l e
ready to move over west of Carroll
ton, and take more work. Whether
they do or not, however, there will be
plerfty ors men, who wifi be willing to
take contracts as it will be seen by
the order that the pay will be the
same, it is east of Carrollton, with
only this difference : -East of Carroll,
ton, the contractors receive for their
pay, one third in money, one thi-d in
bonds, and the other third in stock in
the Road, while west they receive one
third in money and, the other two
thirds in stock or bonds. The stock
is worth about as much as the bond*,
and capitalists who wish to provide
for themselves and children, a lasting
and a good paying legacy, prefer the
Stock, to the bonds.
It will also be seen by reference to
the report of Captain Gardner, chief
engineer, that the grading east of
Carrollton, will probably average sll.
288*53 tr> the mile, while the grading
from Carrollton to Bowdon, will only
average a cost ot $6,549,65 tie
mile, but little over one half the aver
age cost, east of Carrollton. Multiply
the Imiles by the average cost, and
we find the grading from Carrollton
to Bowdon, will only cost $74,813,50.
It does look like that with the ad
vantages, that the company would re
ceive by this extension, at so ’ittle
cost, that it ought to be done by n xt
fall, ready to take off the next crop o+
cotton, or at farthest to bi-ing in next
years supplies of fertilizers. For som 1
of the farmers have come to the c >n_
elusion, that they can not make a crop
without them.
But here is the order referre 1 to,
an exact copy of which is given:
Newnan, Ga., March 7th 18’?.
Resolved, That, the President and
Directors of the Savannah, Griffin <fe
North Alabama Railroad Company,
hereby obligate and bind themselves
to locate the Road from Carrollto » to
Bowdon, and let out contracts frw t’ e
construction of said section of the
Road, by the first of June next, or so
soon as the subscribers for stock at
Bowdon and vicinity, pay into the
treasury of the company, the sum of
twenty thousand dollars, and secure
persons to contract for the grading,
at the same prees now being paid bv
the company, and who will receive in
payment for their work, one thud in
cash and the remaining two thirds in
the stock of the company.

Mr. Editor: —ln a letter from a
friend in Randolph county Alabama,
he telfo-ns one of the most "wonderful
incidents of a chicken we ever hoard.
Mr. George Forester, an ex-mem
her of the Legislature from that coun
ty, says : On the 6th inst., I cut off
a chickens head with a hatchet, in
tending to eat the chicken, but as it
lived uncommonly long, I set it upon
its feet threetimes; the first andsecond
times it soon fell, but the third time it
stood up I then placed it in a basket,
where it remained all night. The
| next mornrng wheriT awoko, the chick
en, whose head had been eaten by my
dog, was rr.aeing the same as th nigh
its head was on its neck, and this is
now the 13th, and it is still alive, and
has continued to crow, and is apparent
ly like any other live chicken, with the
exception of being minus a head.

The Danbury (Conn.) News says.-
“A young lady in a neighboring town
has taken up dentistry for a living.
All the gentlemen patronize her.
When she puts her arm around the

sation is about as nice as they make
’em. One young man has become
hopelessly infatuated with her. Con
sequently he hasen’t a tooth in his

Editor Times:— Noticing in your
columns a solicitation for news from
the different 'Sections of the-county, I
proceed to take advantage of that

for a few brief sketches which I may
be able in my way to communicate.
I believe there is nothing of ranch
interest in this section, save a mightv
working of the public roads, winch
is taking tip the whole time of this
week. It is a little amusing to hear
tlie diflerewt remarks made by the
hands in regard to the manner in
which the rwad's are to be worked.—
And, the way they are working.—

Well, really, it docs look a little
like railroading. But so much for
the convenience of the country.
Farmers are considerably behind
with their affairs I believe the fer
tilizer will be used again this year in
our section. Farmers ate generally
encouraged and satisfied as to the ef
fect produced by fertiHzihg. Mr.
Wesley Smith of our neighborhood
realized a considerable profit, last year
by fertilizing. He planted thirteen
acres hr cotton, used one ton of guano,
realized, after paying expenses for
guano, fifty dollars per acre.
Now talk about Carroll not being a
farming country! Away with such
nonsense. Besides, Mr. Smith, sever
al others are well satisfied With the
realization of heavy profits, <&c.
Also, Mr. Editor, I design for the
special benefit of my friend T. J. J.,
to acknowlege his solution of the

’Death of a Wkll Known Young
Citizen.— The sad intelligence yester
day reached this city of the death of
Ernie C. Reese, so well known here as
a wonderful young pianist and organ
ist. But a few weeks since he was in
our midst, gladdening the hearts of a
large Circle of friends by 4:4s musical
genius and rare social and congenial
nature—but he withered and died as
a sensitive flower, the victim of an un
usually rapid case of consumption, the
first decided symptom of which exhib
ited itself only some three months
since. Our highly esteemed young
friend passed away in the midst of his
family, at Carrollton, Ga., on Thursday
last, in the nineteenth year of his age.

The first resolution which appears] to
be a sort of’key-note, we give in full,
as follows’:
“That it is the duty of the ’Govern
merit to-establish a just standard of
distribution of capital and labor, by
providing a purely national circulating
medium, based on the faith and re
sources of the nation, issued directly
to the people without the intervention
of any system of banking corporation,
which money shall be a legal tender in
the payment of all debts, public and
private, and interchangeable at the
option of holder for Government bonds
bearing a rate of interest not to ecxeed
3,75 per cent., subject to the future
legislation of Congress.”
“The second declares that the national
’debts should be paid in good faith, at
the option of the Government, without
mortgaging the property of the peo
ple or future earning of labor to enrich
a tew capitalists at home and abroad.
“The third declares that the burden
of taxation should bea equally upon
all classes and interests, and that the
exemption of taxation of bonds bear
ing extortionate interest is in violation
ot all just .principles of the revenue
laws.
“Fourth—-The public lands belong
to the people, and should not be sold
to individuals or corporations, but held
for landless settlers.
“Such articles as we can neither do
without not produce should he admit
ted duly free, and customs blevied up
on luxuries, and upon such articles of
manufacture as we, having raw ma
terials in .abundance, will in de
veloping the resources of the country.
“Sixth—That importation of 'Chi
nese laborers is an evil, and should be
prohibited by legislation.
“Seventh—For the eanetment of a
law by which mechanics and laborers
emp!oved by Government contractors
and manufacturers shall not be com
pelled to perform more than eight
hours labor-per day.
“Eighth—Demands the abolition of
contract labor in prisons.
“Ninth—Declares in favor of asses
sing and collecting war taxes during
the progress of the war, instead ol
levying the debts on posterity*.
“Tenth—Calls for Congressional
legislation to prevent exorbitant char
ges by railroads and telegraphs.
“Eleventh—Declares in favor of the
one-term print i pie.
** Fwelfth—Favoring general amnes
ty and equality of right sand privileges
to all.”
Some other resolutions were after
ward moved and adopted, hut the pur
port of the organization is fully set
forth in tlie above.

Two Yankees strolling in the woods,
without any arms in their possession,
observed a bear climbing a tree, with
its paws clasped around the trunk.
One of them rtn forward and oMght
the bear 8 paws, one in each hand.
He then called out to his comrade:
“ Jonathan run home and bring
something to kill the varmint. Mir.d
you don’t stay or I’m in a fix.”
Jonathan ran off but stayed a long
time. During the interval the bear
made several attempts to bite the
himdiof him wbo held him. At length
•Jonattian came back. ,
“ Hallo, what kept you so long?"
“ Well, I’ll tell you. When I got
home breakfast was ready, so I stop
ped to eat it."
“ Well,’' said his comrade, “ come
yon now, and hold the critter while I
kill it.”
Jonathan seixed the bear’s paw and
held the animal.
“ Well, have got hold of him ?”
“ 1 guess I have."
“ Very well, then hold fast; I am off

very plain that poor sleepers should

and yet they do not know it. They
shut the sunshine out of their houses
and their hearts, they wear veils, they
carry pUi asols, they do all they possi
ble can to keep off the subtletsand yet
most potent influence which is inten
ded to give them strength, beauty and
cheerfulness. I3 it not time to change
all this, and so get color and roses in
our pale cheeks, strength in our week

ed to their enterprise, wherever it has been
introduced, has convinced the publisher* ol
I'he Aldine of the soundness of their theory
that the American public would recogniz*
and heartily support any sincere effort to ele
vate tbe tone and standard of illustrated pub
heat ions. 'That so many weakly wicked sheet*
exist and thrive is not evidence thut there is
no market lor anything better-indeed the sue
cess of The A'Mihe irdtn'the start is direct
proof of the •contrary. With a population to
vast, and of Ruoh varied taste, a publisher
can ch use his patrons, and his p.ipcr is rath
er indicative of his own than of the time of
the country. Asa guarantee of the excel
lence of this department, the publishers won Id
beg to announce during tlie coming year
specimens from the following artists:
