The Carrol! County Times. CARROLLTON, GA. Dec. 13, 1872. I EDWIN R. SHARPE. Editor. litsbonsm '1 own—Building. 1. ifoW KIRKWOOD WAS BUILT. The land on which Kirkwood has been built, belonged to . He refused SSO an aci'e for it, but had the tract surveyed, a town laid out, and then offered every other lot for sale at $25 an aero, requiring the pur chaser ot each lot to erect good im> provements thereon within a certain specified time. It is stated, too, that purchasers had to be men of moral worth and character, and that Kirk wood is now one of the most pleasant communities in Georgia. The owner of the Kirkwood props erty had the good sense to invite pur chaser, offering them some induce ments to build on bis lots— those re served netting him a handsome prof it. *ll. MOW' BIRMINGHAM WAS BUILT. Ely ton was about to get a railroad, or onejhad reached the place and anoth er was coming Whereupon the El) to* nians'formed a very exalted opinion of themselves, and of the value of their property, and commenced to rate town lots at most extravagant prices. -Instead of inviting mechanics and other business and professional men to settle in their midst and build up the town, purchasers tcere driven ‘away by high prices. Some sharp moneyed men saw their opportunity. They formed a Land Company, bought a desirable tract of land not very far from Elyton, had a town laid out on it, and iuvited purchasers to come and buy, offering them desirable lots at reasonable prices. Birmingham raiss ©d her head arid Elyton lowered hers. The approaching railroad was diverted "to the new, the liberal, the enterpris ing town—and Elyton lost the bright prospects she had two years ago and 1s rtlw a mere second fiddle to the ri val whom she forced into existence.— So goes the tale. Sic transit gloria mundi, 111. HOW CARROLLTON WILL BE BUILT Must be told by some future histo rian. It is to be feared, however, that there is 6ome of the Elytonian leaven in our midst, and that certain proper ty holders, having built—in their im agination—an immense city here, are disposed to rate their } ( ots at prices that would make a merchant from some of our little towns—Atlanta for instauce—-in quest of a site for a subur ban residence, almost lose his breathj “Spirits red and Spirits gray.” The spirits at Surrency, the witches in Buffalo, the ghost in Denver, the devil iu Tradd street Charleston, the Alatoona phantom brakes mao, and the doctors in Atlanta, appear to be having a lively time and to be exciting a good deal of interest. One of the Atlanta D. D’s says that if Virgil’s spirit will write -him twenty lines or more of original matter, in true Vii gilian style, chirography and langnage, if Plato, David, Mohammed and Zo roaster, will do the same—-that, then, be, the said D D., will believe. The doctor’s argument is an unfortunate one. It cuts in too many directions to be conclusive on any question. If it is a good weapon in the doctors hands against spiritualism, is it not equally good iu the infidel’s hands against the doctor. Is .not the doctor indebted for it to some infidel objec tor against revelation ? “There aro more things In haaveo *cd earth, 110 ratio, Thaa we dreampt of la your philosophy,” A faot is one thing—a proposed ex planatiOn another. The fact may be acoepted as such, whilst the proposed explanation may be rejected as wholly unworthy of consideration. Are there not many inexplicable facts ? Certain ly there are mauy facts which have never been explained, yet we accept them as such in the many thousands of every day occurrences. The doc tor s would not be conclusive to many minds, and none would rebel against it sooner than the doctor himself. Its too much like TyndalY prayer test. • * • “As PCIiX AS MOONLIGHT ASLEEP ON snow. ’-Tuesday night we were visited by alightfall ofsnow; enough, however* for snow -balling, tracking rabbits and /netting birds.

The Atlanta Constitution of Thurs* day says : “General Wofford, Colonel Hartridge, Mr. Fly, Colonel Pace, Colonel Dorsey and Major Graham voted for B. Grafz Brown for Presi dent. Colonel Turner and Dr. Casey vo- ■ ted for ex Governor C. J. Jeukius for President. General Benning, Mr Poe, Colonel Hudson, Dr. Casey and Colonel Tur ner voted for Gratz Crown for Vice President. Colonel Hartridge, Colonel Paee, Colonel Dorsey, Mr. Fly and Major Graham voted lor General Colquitt for Vice President. General Wofford voted lor General N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, for Vice President The electors appear!© have strange ly misapprehended the trust reposed in them. They were elected to cast the vote of Georgia for Greeley and Brown. The death of Mr. Greeley required them to do one ol two things, to cast a blank vote for President or compliment some distinguished demo crat with the undivided vote of the State. But whatever shadow of ex cuse tnay be found for voting as they did for President, they are wholly in excusable for voting -for any other person than B Gratz Brown for Vice President. They were elected for that purpose, and those who failed to •do so have proved recreant to the trust reposed in them. The people will doubtless make a note of this. From the American Journal. TJie Be§t Training School, It may surprise you, Mr. Pedago gup, and cause your indignation to rise, to be told that however good is your Primary, your Intermediate, your Grammar, your High School, your Academy, or even your College and Professional School, however carefuls ly your course has been prepared and mapped out for others on the currieu lum; however long the time allowed for the studies; there is yet an institu tion superior to any one of these, or all combined, for helping a man to 6u«*cess in any department of life. This institution has long been over looked and neglected by our educators in fheir plans, estimates and theories; and yet it is a very old establishment, older than any other educational in stitution in Europe or America. It is, in fact, God’s own school, and is coeval with the lace. Os course we refer to the Fami >y- Here is nature’s plaoe and mode of teaching and training men and wos men, —right at home in the beautiful fire-side circle. There’s nothing like it; never will be anything to match it, as to the ap pointraents for discipline, for develop ment of character, disposition, and manners; and those subtler elements of refinement, of sympathy and of so ciability that so adapt a person fi.r life and its duties among men, are then and there, in the formative per iod of childhood 1 inwrought with the very being, so as to become second dature. A true home is the best school; and there one gets the first ar ; the best part of schooling. The parents are the model teachers for the child. They are the natural teachers; to them the young eyes look with respect and love; no question as to knowledge or thority. What a field ! The two patents who have but one pupil in this relation, may not lightly view their opportunity nor their res ponsibility. However, the object is not so much to eulogize the family, as to show what may there be done by way of training the child, and how it may be accomplished. Avery broad field, and probably a difficult task ; hence, we can but jot down a few principles. We might safely and comprehen sively say, in the first place, whatever direction the training of the child is to take : that the parent should actu ally be what he wishes the child to be The old motto, “ Esse quam videri ," may well apply here, which, transla ted by the quaint humorist, would read : “Ho! parent, if you want your child to walk in virtue’s path, it will be a good idea to travel that way now and then yourself!” Here we get at the foundation, af ter all. Think you that those two small eyes cannot detect hypocrisy ? To do and to be what you wish the child to imitate is to insure succes*.— Not many words need be used ; not many blows; not many tears required; and the “Train up a child in the way he should go,” <fcc., will not seem so hard a matter. Hereafter we will no tice more the “what and how.” The Senatorial Contest Charge, Gordon, Charge! ‘ On, Stephens, On! ’ Let Hill arise, Place lance in rest, Ana do his best To seize the prise. ■ ■* »•» ■ Franklin and Cedar Town ara calling for teachers. Good openings for seme body. From tb« American Jonrn il of Kdamion Real Estate. ‘‘Land,’ says the shrewd capitalist, “is something of real value in itself. Railroad stock is uncertain, copper mines more so ; banks may break, bouds may be stolen, but in land one posseses something of intrinsic value, something positive and real in itself, 1 something which thics not depend up j on the honesty of directors for its i worth.” Land is undoubtedly real estate, but why then is not one piece df it as valuable as another ? Would our capitalists wiliingl vjexchange a lot in the city of Boston, New York’ Chicago, or St. Lousis, for one of equal size in the Catskill or Rocky mountains, or in the Illinois prairies f When we make the proposal we dis> cover at once that the value of this estate, which was before so “real,” seems not to be a part of it all—but that it has a derived value alone. Ideas, thoughts, intelligence, are very vague things. We cannot touch or see them. They are not reckoned as real estate, and yet, after all, what is it that makes every foot of land so valuable in New York city but these same vague and unreal things 7 We once tried to explain to an old lady the fact that she could not boil her esrirs so well on the top of a mountain as at its foot, because the boiling water i would not be as hot in the first case las in the second ; but she positively refused to bear any move, planting ; her denial of the truth of the story on her firm assertion, ‘Biling water is b’ding water.” In the same way and with as much reason it might be said that a foot of luiid is a foot of land ; and yet in the one case it may repre sent hundreds of dollars, while in the other it may represent to its owner only a minus quantity, and it is the very vague things called ideas that make all the difference. Educated labor raises the value of * * # the material on which it works and the tools it uses. Intelligence and thought infuse “an upward teudence ey” into all articles that they touch.— Civilization, the result of education coins gold from the most sterile soil or the hardest rock. In the intelli gence of the men who live on it con-' sists the only value of the real estate which seemed at first to have a value of its own. Change the population of Central Africa and that of New York and how many dollars a foot would be offered for lots on Broadway 7 All this is very simple—but vfhat follows? Only this; That if the capitalist wish es to increase the value of the land that he holds, his surest way is to throw his whole influence toward the education ot the intelligence ot the people who live on or near it. Mechanics. Who built all our cities, our villages every hamlet and cottage in the land ? Mechanics. Who built every ship, steamer, ves sel and water craft that floats on ev ery ocean, and plows the surface of every river? Mechanics. Who printed every Bible, hymn book and newspaper, printed and bound every printed volume on the face ofthe globe 1 Mechanics. Who constructs all the factories and workshops on the earth and who runs them ? Mechanics. Who constructs all our lines of rail roads, their locomotives and cars th* Pullman cars and all the telegraph lines ? Mechanics. Who makes every instrument of music from the organ down to the jewsharp ? Mechanics. VVho makes all agricultural imple ments for cultivating the soil, all nau tical instruments for the navigation of the ocean ? Mecanies. Who makes all the magnificient furniture that ornament the mansions of the rich —carpets, mantle orna ments, silver and china table service ? Mechanics. Who makes all the jewelry that adorn the persons of the ladies ? Me chauicks.

Wo honor and revere them for their great achive ments. We canuot expect every fool to do so however. ti®* Two New Yoik assemblymen were walking down State street, in Albany, after the jjassage of a tain bill. “I feel,” said one of them “as if I deserved to be kicked for vo ting for that bill.” His friend re plied “That’s just the way I feel my self, let’s go up this alley and kick each other there.” - «o> * Oshkosk, Wisconsin, has had an En och Arden, but he didn’t come back and gaze through the window at the felicity of the reconstructed household, and then go into the green and yellow melancholy business ; not any. He kicked the new husband out, sorted over the children and sent his brats after him, and then, after threshing his wife, settled down into a peaceful and happy head of the family. Decline of Popular Humotists. We can easily recall the wide popu larity Doesticks (Mortiiper Thompson) gained as a humorist. His Dainphool was in everybody’s mouth, and in many persons characters. His sketch es were copied all over the land, and laughed at immoderately. He came from Detroit, Michigan, to New York and the Tribune, and scintillated for a year or two, Then he proved •wearisome, and ere long he sunk out of sight, He wrote tor the weekly stbry papers, but he had lost his at traction, and recently went to Mir. neapoliis, Minnesota, to assist in edit ing a daily. Artemas Ward followed. From a humble local reporter on a Cleveland (Ohio) journal he rose to more than a national reputation. His phrases were quoted by the people, and his lectures drew crowds. He suffered an eclipse. He went to England be cause, it was said, his jokes were all known here. He died, and the en comiums that had been suspend, were revived over his grave. “Xasby” (Locke) rose to tame iin mediately after the war ; had his cul mination and decline. You seldom sot his badly spelled words now, though he lectures with pecuniary profit ; edits the Toledo Blade, and is worth 250,030. Orpheus C. Kun (Robert 11. New all) was highly commended for his clever satires on the Army ot the Po tornac in a New York weekly, but be earne invisible with the return of peace, lie is attached at present to the staff of the World, and does the “Social Studies” in th the Sunday isv sue. Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) was brought to the surface by bis “Jumping Frog,” and universally ad vertised by Iris extremely ludicrous “Innocents Abroad ’’ the fuir y man on the Gilaxyhe was proved such a failure that he retired from his department in confusion and panic.— Ilis “Roughing It” is wholly inferior to his other book, though it has sold largely. The public are wearying of him a little, and he must arouse him self if be cares for his laurels. Bret Ilarte conquered attention by his extraordinary tales in the Over land, and grew celebrated by his trifle, “The Heathen Chinee.” Cities and publications bid for him, and Boston and the Atlantic carried him off.— Since then he has been stifled almost. We have had no really clever tiling from him, according to the critics, who consider his reign at an -end.— John Ilay came home from Europe, wrote “Little Breeches” and “Jim Bltidsoe” and was made the theme of countless paragraphs. His admirable book, “Castilian Days,” gave him rep utation among the cultivated, but they are the few. He is doing fine work on the Tribune, but he is slip ping out of the public eye. Even Joaquin Miller, the poet ot the Sierras, has almost had his day. Ills songs are pronounced monoton ous" and his genius a manufactured ar ticle. We await, at this moment, another coming man—somebody to put up and pull down, lie will be along anon.— The question is, Do our humorists and literary lights decline, or do we get tired of saying kind things of them ? Do we declare them exhaust ed because they are such, or because we are merely fickle ?— St. JLous Globe. —*«**» The North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South was held in Atlanta this year ; next year that distinguished body will meet in Newnan Below we give name and address of eaeh ot the bish ops Robert Paine, D.
