Mu. Editor:—As again you are to
be troubled with W. J. D.’s coach
problem, please excuse the- necessary
tediousness of this, and I hope that it
will prove satisfactory to all, and
especially to W. J. D. “ Since brevi
ty js the soul of wit and tediousness
but the outward limbs and flourish,”
let us proceed.
Oil April Bth, 5 o’clock a. m., a
coach leaves Carrollton for Charleston.
Already seven coaches are outlie road
from Charleston for Carrollton. No.
1. is due at 6 a. m., that day and is one
hours travel from Carrollton, No. 2, at
C a. m. April 9th, consequently it is
25 hour’s travel from Carrollton, No.
3, at G a. m. April the 10th, No. 4, at
6 a. ju. on the Uth, No. 5. at G a. m.
on the i2th f No. G, at G a. m. on the
13th, No. 7 at Ga, jl on the 14th. —
Each is just 24 hour’s tiavel behind
the one just in front of it
Now the Carrollton coach passes
No. 1, in half of an hour after start'
ing, which is a. m. it also passes No.
2, in I2ji hour’s travel, which i3 5£ i*.
>r. aftd-so each day passing one at 5,4
a. m., and another at i*. m., hence,
it meets the one that left on tire 14th,
12. V bony’s travel from Charleston,
which is p. m., April 14th and
reaches Charleston at 5 a. m. April
15th. If it did not meet the 14th one,
on the 21st there would be no coach
to arrive in Carrollton. If we will
only bear in mind that seven coaches
must be on the road all the time, and
t.h.at the Carrollton coach as well as
the rest is on the road, just seven days.
Os course, when he stm ts seven are on
the the road, and so when he stops
seven will be on the road, all of which
lie wifi have met. T. J. J.

Duties at IlGme.
“Husbands, love your wives, even
as Christ also loved the Church, and
gave himself for it.’’
You ivl*o have taken a w ife from a
happy home of kind hearts and kind
companionship, have you given to her
all of your time which you could spare,
have you endeavored to make amends
to her for the loss of these friends ?
Have you strengthened her mind with
advice, kindness and good books ?
Have you spent your evenings with
her in the cultivation of intellectual,
moral, or social excellence ? Has your
desire been to “love her” as St.
Paul commanded you, and to see her
“holy and without blemish ?” Have
you truly been a helpmate to her
whom you have sworn before God to
love and cherish ?
Ilifsbands J husbands ! shut not
your hearts against these words. You
have mixed more in the world, and
you have gained knowledge of human
nature, and thus of human weakness.
Let this knowledge add to your desire
! so serve, to assist, and to cherish her
1 in all Christian virtues.
You whose married life lias been
short, aid and counsel your young
wives. Let their troubles be yours,
I and their joys also. Rejoice with
i them in their happy trifles, soothe
{ them in their sadness.
Spare them all the hours you can
from business, for it is their due. And
wives, thank your husbands for it,
and feel that your lot is a blessed
one.
There is a picture bright and beau
tiful, but nevertheless true, where
hearts are united for mutualjiappiness
and mutual improvement; where a
kind voice cheers the wife in her
hour of trouble, and where the shade
of anxiety is chased from the husbands
brow as he enters his home ; where
sickiiess is soothed by watchful love,
and hope and faith burn brightly.
Wives be ready to welcome your
husbands to their homes ; gradually
draw their thoughts, while with you
from business, and lead them to the
i regions of the beautiful in art and na
ture, and the true and the divine in
sentiment. Do this, arid you will
gradually see business, literature, and
high moral culture blending in “sweet
accord.”
P. S.—Housekeeper and Girls are
respectfully solicited to blow thgir
horns again, that is if they have
wind enough. “Hermit.”

For the Carroll County Times.
Itinerant Plant Vendors.
For several years past Carroll lias
been invaded each spring by the agents
of fruit nurseries located in distant
climes—Oudamia or some other equal
ly well known and highly favored re
gion. Armed with portfolios of mag
nificently colored pictures of mam
moth and luscious looking apples,
peaches, pears, plums, cherries et id
omne genus, said agents have con
vinced many a worthy Carrollite of
the worthlessness of his home produc
tions in the fruit line, and of the su
periority ot the foreign or Oudamian
sort. How the mouths of us Carroll
crackers would water as we looked at
cherries for instance pictured in glow
ing colors, an inch mid a half or two
inches in diameter ; a mammoth pear,
said to weigh eighteen or twenty
ounces ; a nine inch peach or a Goliath
Apple! And how dissatisfied we felt
with our own Lilliputian pioductions!
And how much of our “monish” \vc
did invest in grafts of this superior
Oudamian fruit! And how eagerly we
have been looking for the realization
of our expectation! Tlis year will,
perhaps, satisfy us.
This method of selling snit trees,
by Aladdin like pictures of the (sup
posed) fruit, is only anew develop
meat of the “ Gift Enterprise,” or
‘ California Diamonds” or “ Peter
‘Funk” system of humbuggery, and
our people ought to scrutinize i*t very
carefully.
The good citizens of Gotham having
been largely victimized recently in
this way by some enterprising indi
viduals, all the way from I'arefse,
who crossed the Atlantic with the
laudable object of “ 'stonisking de
Yangeese" in their very homes, a re
porter of the Hearth and Home called
upon the firm, “ Lafayette & Cos., Flo
rists, 745 Broadway, N. Y., Dealers
in Plantes Noveltees," and from his
account, the following is condensed, al
though, perhaps there is nothing new
in it to some Carrolleese.
He says : An old lady went away
happy in the possession of a package
of twenty-five asparagus seeds, price
sl, each seed of which was warrant
ed to produce enough asparagus
shoots, for an ordinary family, in nine
ty days from the planting and to con
tinue to yield the same every twenty
four hours thereafter !
A stolid looking olu German for
S2O, carried off (1) a peach tree,
whose fruit, as shown by the picture
was nine inches in diameter ; (2) six
raspberry plants, berries represented
the size of ordinary peaches; (3) three
varieties .of currants whose bunches
and berries were pictured the size ol
our hot house grapes !
There was left only one strawberry
tree, price $lO. This wonderful pro
:dnotion grows to the height of an
orange tree, and lias fruit of the color
of an ordinary strawberry but of the
size of a Duchers Fear. “It contin
ucs to bear for six months in de year
at Pareesc , but will probably do so
longer in dis countree ! ”
They Jbad for sale also “250 peach
trees, the fruit without stones ; and
300 cherry trees, the fruit of some
weighing to the pound ! ”
Among their flowers was the “Arc
of Triumph.” The root. looked like a
piece of Calamus ; but it could not be
that, for the colored’drawings showed
this floral wonder in twelve different
colors , with a spike, like a gigantic
Yucca, two feet high and one across
at the base, and of the most brilliant
blue, scarlet, orange, Ac. Price, $5
to S2O, entirely hardy and ever bloom
ing !
Then there was the Gladiobus Indi
go ! “In dis coon tree,” said the po
lite attendant, “you have de red, de
wife and de autre coleur, but we sell
you for de first time de indigo blue. - ’
Price $2 a bush !
Scarlet and blue pansies, 5 inches in
diameter, sold at 5 cents a seed!
A blue moss rose, sold for $2, $5 or
$lO, according as it bloomed for 3, G
or 12 months! When asked why the
perpetual one was not then in bloom,
the salesman assumed a deeply wound
air : “ llow you s’pose de poor plant
can bloom all boxed up in cie importa
tion 1 ”
MORAL,
Buy only from well known sales
men, men whose good character is a
well established part ot their capital
There is no lack of them, and in
easy reach of us too: Allow me to
mention a few:
(1) Our fellow citizen, D. E Martin,
whose nursery is within three miles of
Carrollton, and who makes a specialty
of the Golden Al •pies.
2. Harden & Cole of Atlanta.
3. P. J. Berckman’s of Augusta.
There are many others in Georgia,
but the writers knows those mention
ed, and can vouch for them.

Letter From Bowden,
Mr. Editor.— Some excitement in
the neghborhood of Mr. Saxon’s mills,
in Randolph county, Alabama. A
young man by the name ot Traylor
was on tb.e river (little Tallapoosa)
fishing on the 13tli inst., and found
an infant in the river. It had two
strips of calico strings tied around its
neck, and also an apron, wrapped
over its face and back ot its head, and
and then tied around the back of its
neck. It had drifted against a limb,
which extended into the water, and
was caught by the strings. The ba
by was taken out and decently buried.
Xo one has been suspioioned, but the
people arc on the lookout for the per
son who committed this inhuman
deed.
Another live chicken with its head
cut off, was exhibited in Bowdon on
Friday and Saturday last by Mr. E.
It was also from Alabama, being the
fifth one. If this thing goes on, where
is it to stop ? N. S.
Asa wife washolding her husband’s
aching head in her hand one morning
she asked “Are a man and his wife
one?’ “I suppose so,” said the husband.
“Then,” rejoiued the wife, “I came
home druuk last night, and ought to
be ashamed of niysolf.”

Letter from Bowenviile.
Mil. Editor :—ln your issue of the
19th ult, I find that the Union Dc
publican party, so called, have quite
! recently, in the Court House at Car
rollton,-held a meeting, at which time
and place, they adopted a series Os
resolutions in which they announce,
| that they heartily indorse, the admin
istration of General Grant in the en
forcement of the laws, the faithful
collection of the revenues, the dis
charge from office of all sinecures, and
the consequent reduction of the pub
lie debt, of about $300,030,039, in
three years, Ac.
For one Mr. Editor, I would great
ily prefer the statistics, from which
they derive their information, instead
| of their bare assertions, as to the re
duetion of the public debt ; from the
| bict that politicians will not always do
to rely on for truth. llow long has it
i been since two of the gentleman that
took part in passing the above named
: resolutions were extolling to the skies
If. B. Bullock, late Governor of Geor
gia, telling the honest yeomanry of
this county that he, Bullock was in
every way a good Governor. What
are the facts? Shall I repeat the ten
thousand frauds and villames prat iced
by Bullock “? Shall Igo on and show
how much Kutus reduced the State
debt ? Shall I show with what econ
omy he and his political friends ad
ministered the State Government? I
apprehend not ! That is now a mat
ter of history, and needs no comment
from me. The people fully under
stand it. But where was W. W.
Merrell and J. If. Thomason, at the
time Rufus was running the State
Government? By reference to the
Journals of the Legislature cf 18G9
and 70, I find that the first named
gentleman was chairman of the judi
ciary committee in the Senate. I find
also from the same source, that by
some means J. 11. Thomasson was a
member in the House of Represent,*!
fives. llow lie got there I am un_
able to say. One thing Lower, I do
know; and that is, he never was
elected as such, by the people of Car
roll. But they were then acting in
tiie capacity as abCsve stated, and I ap
prehend was on the very best of terms
with the Executive, from the fact that
brother Morrell obtained a position,
either in the Legislature or on the
Stale Road for his sons, sons-in-law,
cousins Ac. He seemed to be a great
favorite, both with the Executive and
Legislative branches of the Govern
ment, and I ask, why did they not, at
that time, give the people notice of
ihe impositions that were being prae
| ticcd upon them ? Why was it that
1 they did not think of economy while
! they were sucking the public pap ?
Did they not know they were paying
104 clerks, in their own bodies, the
neat little sum of $9 per day? Did
they not know that they were sitting
longer than provided by the Constitu
tion they should sit, unless prolonged
by a two thirds vote of that body ?
Did they not know that after the ex
piration of forty days that all their
Legislative acts were unconstitutional?
Yes they new all this, yea more, they
knew that Bullock knew it, they knew
that Blodgett A Cos., were plundering
the people of all the earnings of the
State road ; yet up to the 20th Dec.
1870 during the election for members
to the Legislature, they were extolling
the administration of Rufus Bullock,
at which time they were informed by
the vote of the people, that the day
of retribution was at hand. That a
reckoning was to take place. ’ What
lias been the effect? Rufus fled like
Lot from Sodom to parts unknown,
unwilling to meet an honest investiga
tion. Not only this, but it has had
the effect of getting up political meet
ings, in which we see resolutions
adopted, in which the party adopting
them declare themselves in favor of
holding all officials and employees ro
a strict accountability, meting out
condign punishment to such as may
be guilty of embezzelment, defalcation,
or other n.alfeasence in office. Now un
der all these circumstances, I ask
again why was it that brother Mer
rell and Mr. Thomason, when the
Legislature, of which they were mem
bers, was holding their sessions from
sixty to ninety days, and they receiv
ing $9 per diem, in fact Thomason i
$lB, and paying 104 clerks also $9
per diem, echo answers why did you j
not then and there, think of economy?
Why did you not tell Rufus that you
was, in favor of holding all officials to
a strict accountability ? Why was it
that you were dumb upon the subject
of those frauds enumerated? Can we !
who know all this, believe you sincere
at this late day ? Can we who know
your oportunities to have known of
the actings and doings of Bullock,
Blodgett A Cos., and of your endorse
ment of their administration, can we
I say, believe you honest, when you
tell us that the administration of Genl.
Grant is all that the people could de- j
sire, and that he has in three years
reduced the public debt $809,090,090?
For one I cannot, I will not take the
bare assertions of no such crew. I ,
prefer the statistics. Do let us have ;
them if you please. Not your word ;
for it? You told me Rufus was all
right, when in fact it was not so, and j
you kn ew it.
But Mr. Editor, the most amusing
resolution passed at said meeting
seemed to hare been brought forward
by his honor Judge Brace well, and is
in these words : u We recommend to
the favorable consideration of our par
ty, the ‘‘Atlanta Whig and the Ameri
can Union at Macon, ’’ and think they
should receive the liberal support of
our party.” Well I think if they do
not, they will be to go dead?
For there is no hope of any Democrat
patronizing eithef of them to any
great extent. But seeing the name
of Atlanta Whig, reminded me of the
old story of the irishman who had the
misfortune to get badly used up by
hornets. Shortly after in his travels,
he met with a certain large black bug,
humming around, upon which he ex
claimed, “ ah, bejabers it is not me
that you can fool ? You may change
your dress, but I remember your
voice." Just so by the Atlanta Whig,
it will be unable to fool many Demo
crats, they know his voice. It is still
the voice of the Era But it is a
shame to slander the old Whig party
by connecting the name of Whig with
that living, filthy sheet, the sheet that
aided Bullock & C'o., in almost bank
rupting the State. 11. L. B.

Id is really the only illustrated chronicle of

The Bazar is excellent. Like all the peri

most ideally well edited, and the class of
readers for whom it is intended—the moth

not but profit by its good sense and good

“Give my love to the artist workmen of
this AI.DINK who are striving to make their
profusion worthy of admiration for. beauty, a a
it has always been for usefulness."— lltnry
Ward Becchcr-
Tiie Ai.dinr, while issued with all the reg
ularity, has none of the temporary or timely
interest characteristic ol ordinary periodic
als - It is an elegant miscellany of pare,
light, and graceful literature, and a collection
of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, in black and white. Although each
succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to
its friends, the real value and beauty of The
Aldiue will be most appreciated after it has
been bound up at the close ol the year. —;
While other public publications mny claim
superior cheapness as compared with rivalsof
a similar class, The Ald me is a unique and
original conception—alone and unnpproach
ed—absolutely without competition in price
or character. The possessor of the volume
just completed cannot duplicate the quantity
of fine paper and engravings in any other
shape or number of volumes for ten times its
cost. '
The labor of getting The Aldinc ready on
the press is so gieat that repri ting is out of
the question - With the exception of a small
number specially reserved for binding, the e
dition of 1871, is already exhausted, and it is
now a scarce as*wcll as valuable book.
NEW FEATURES ECU 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthusiastic support so readily accord
ed to their enterprise, wherever it has been
introduced, has convinced the publisher* of
The Aldine of the soundness of their theory
that the American public would recognize
and heartily support any sincere effort to ele
vate the tone and standard of illustrated pub
lications. That so many weakly wicked sheets
exist and thrive is not evidence that there is
no market for anything bettcr-indeed the-suc
cess of The Aldine from the start is direct
proof of the contrary. With a population to
vast, and of such varied taste, a publisher
can choose his patrons, and his paper is rath
er indicative of his own than of tbe taste of
the country. Asa guarantee of the excel
lence of this department, the publishers would
ffieg to announce during the coming year
specimens from the following artists:
W T Rickards, Granville Perkins, James Smiley,
Wm liar., F O C Harley, ' R E Piquet,
Win Beard, Victor Nehlig, Frank Heard,
George Smiley,Wm II Wilcox, Paul Btxou,
Aug. Will, James II Heard, J Bowe,
These pictures ar3 being reproduced with
out regard to expense by the very best en
gravers in the country, aud will bear the se
verest critical comparison with the best for
eign work, it being the determination of the
publishers that The Aldine shall be a success
ful vindication of American taste in compe
tition with any existing publication in the
woi Id,
LITERARY DEPARTMENT.
Where so much i3 paid to illustration and
get up of the work, too much dependence on
appearances may very naturally be feared.
To anticepate such misgivings, it is only nec
essary to state that the editorial management
of The Aldine has been intrusted to
Mr. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD,
who has received assurances of assistance
from a host of the most popular writers and
poets of the country.
THE VOLUME FOR 1872
will contain nearly 300 pages and about 250
fine engravings. Commencing with the num
ber for January, every third number will con
tain a beautiful tinted picture on plate pa
per, inserted as a frontlspice.
The Christmas number for 1872 will be a
splended volume in itself, containing fifty en
gravings, (four in tint) and. although retails
at sl, will be sent without extra charge
to all yearly subscribers.
