The Carroll Comity Times. * CARROLLTON, GA. Dec. 20, 1872. EDWIN R. SHARPE, Editor. End cf Volume I. With this number of the Times, closes Volume TANARUS, as in accordance with a time honored custom of the country press, no paper will be issued 1 during the holidays. In looking back : over the past year, a few reflections may not be out of place. In commenc ing the publication ot the Carroll County Times, we were not unwinds j fill of the various obstacles to be ov- ! ercome, and difficulties to be encoun-! sered in founding a newspaper, at a small country town. Having faith however in ultimate success, as we believed that a bright future, was in idore for Carroll county, we cast our frail barque, upon the broad sea of journalism, trusting to the patriotism and county pride of our people, to carry us safely through. This trust we are proud to say, has not been misplaced, ns wo now have the pleas ure of announcing that the Carroll County Times, is established upon a firm and solid basis. Believing that < larroll county is one of the best coun ties in the State, and Is destined at an early day, when our various railroad interests are completed, to be one of the most prosperous in every respect, it is now our ambition, to make the Times worthy of it, and second to no weekly throughout the country. To do this wc are aware, that we must have the generous and substantial aid of all of our citizens, and we therefore appeal to them to assist us in our es forts to carry out so laudable an ambi tion. Every man in the county ought to take his county paper, and we hex lieve from the words of cheer, which we have received the past year, that there will be tew families in tne coun ty, at the end of 1873, in which the C4RUOLL County Times is not read. In the editorial management of the Times during the past year, we do not claim infallibility. It is human to err, and we would be more than mor tal, were we tree from the common frailties of humanity. As it is our de sire to be just to all men, we hope that a broad charity, will look upon whatever errors, we may have con. mitted, as errors of the head, and not of the heart. On the Wing. The editor of the Times, to vary' the usual monotony of a “country ed itors" existence, concluded that he would take a little jaunt last week.— Leaving Carrollton late Monday ev ening, the 9th inst., in an open bug gv, after oue of the coldest rides we ever experienced, arrived at about 10 o’clock p. m., at WHITESBURG. As the most of our readers are aware, this place is about half way between Carrollton and Newman, on the line of the Savannah, Griffin & North Ala bama Railroad, and owing to the large rock cut at that place, is tor the pres ent the terminus of the Road. Whites burg is an entirely new place, and is rapidly growing. A substantial depot and neat hotel are in process of con struction here. These buildings, when finished, as they soon will be, will add considerably to the impor tance aid appearance of the place.— We did not examinejtlie rock cut here, but were told that at the present rate they were getting along, that it would be completed and ready for the track, in about three months. 8. G. AND X. A. R. R. On next morning, Tuesday, we took the construction train for Newnan, and our first, ride over the above road.— At that time the construction train was the only one running to White as burg, but since then a regular accom modation train has been put on, an and now makes daily trips. The S. G. & N. A. R. R. is first class in every re speot. The celebrated Fish-bar iron being used upon this road, it runs as steadily as any we ever traveled ever. The bridge over the Chattahoochee is strong and substantial, and is one of the highest we have seen in some time. NEWNAN. w e stopped but a Bhort while in this stirring little city, but short as it was, had the pleasure of shaking by the hand a good many old acquaintan ces. We dropped in a few minutes at the Herald oiSoe, and found all hands, from the clever and genial ed itor, Maj. J. C. Wooten, dowu to the sprightly “little Devil,” as busy as bees. The Herald is doing a good bu siness, as it well deserves. ATLANTA. Our next move was over the Atlan ta West Point Railroad, to the Capital city of the State. our first visit 10 some twelve months, we notioed a great many changes, show-, mg that the city is still progressing, and that her motto is yet “onward.” Atlanta is beginning to assume a de cidedly metropolitan air, and looks jnuoh more dignified, and cityish, than it did twelve months ago. A great'many ot her merchants are doing an exeSu sively wholesale btisiuess. Trade at the time of our visit, was not as brisk as usual, owing to the extreme cold weather. After spending two davs in the “Gate City," we took the train for our old home, west point. This is undoubtedly, “the big gest little town" in Georgia. We mean by that, that it has more city airs, and does more business, than any other place of the same popular tion in the State. It received last winter, 16,0)0 bales of cotton, an 1 will do as well this winter, we sup pose. After several days at West Point, among old friends and relatives, we set our face HOME WARD. Corning up the railroad, with our friend. I)r. A. W. Griggs of West Point, who is now one of the Profes sors in the Atlanta Medical College, we were highly entertained by his interesting conversation, until we got to Newnan. At this point we struck up with some of our Carroll friends, among them John Veal and George Bonner, with whom we made the trip to Carrollton,on the hack line. We were not aware before that these gentlemen were so spirited and jolly as they proved to be on this occasion. Usually reticeut, they were not at all so on this trip, and were the means of making the tedious journey from Newnan to i this point, pass off quite pleasantly. ♦«©► New York Argus. —This is the ti tle of an illustrated Democratic pa -1 per just started in New York.

I— A subscriber in Douglasviile Texas writing to a friend in this place pays the following compliment to our pa per, which we hope our readers will excuse us for publishing, as it is too neat a thing to be lost : “We receive the Carroll County Time* weekly. It is a treat to us all, and read with a great deal of interest Wh|? it comes, the children scramble for it. It is a ueat, good, paper.” ■ -m ioki A Word to Demooiats. Editor Times.— Please allow me a small space in your paper, to speak a few friendly words of admonition to the good old Democracy of Carroll county. I hope I will not be consider ed arrogant or presumptous in offering this advice, as I do it through the purest and best of motives— having at heart, the ultimate good and sue cess of the party, of which I claim to be a faithful and consistent member. If we wisli success and victory to perch upon our banner, we must ,be united and harmonious, both in coun sel and action, laying down personal animosities and preferences, for the triumph and welfare of ow cause, and support those who are worthy and well qualified, to discharge the duties j and obligations of the high and rex ; sponsible positions to which they aspire. Tlicd upon that basis of argument, it certainly behooves every true and honest Democrat, to march up in solid phalanx and support the present iu - cumbents of the various county offices. * ; They have been honest, prompt and faithful iu discharge of the duties and obligations resting upon them, acting ! as wise and good custodians of the people, and their best interests ; and as for ability and qualification, they possess the necessary prerequisites iu an eminent degree, having been tried and found worthy and trusty. Let u s hold on to them, at least another term I am sensible of the fact that there are independent candidates in the field, who are able and well qualified and for whom I would vote with pleasure under different circumstances, but to scatter our votes in the coming elec tion, next January, will only result in printing on our own banuer, the in signia of defeat and ruin. Here is oui ticket, and don’t forget to go to the polls and vote it. For Ordinary, D. B. Jchan. For Sheriff, F. M. W ILLIAMSON. For Tax Receiver, J. L. Cobb. For Tax Collector, J. L. Veal. For Treasurer, L. J. Smith. For Clerk, J. M. Griffin. Yours Respectfully, A True. Democrat. (Special Carroll Cos. Times.) letter Lorn the State Capital. Editor Times. —The city election passed off’quietly. The entire nomi nnted Democratic ticket was elected by between seven and eight hnmjred majority. The independent ticket headed by ( 01. T. S. Farrow received a highly creditable vote carrying two wards in the city. It is to be hoped lor the good of the citizens as well as for the good of their own reputations, our newly elected dignitaries will ful fil their promises of retrenchment and reform; in the financial affairs of the city. The newspaper muddle be tween A. St. Clair Abrams on the part of the Herald and E. Y. Clarke, of the Constitution, has been amicably adjusted, without the use of pistols or broad-swords—after creating in tense degree of excitement for several days. It is probable that each of those journals will hereafter try to steer in still waters and indulge only in peaceful language. The contest for Senator will remain undecided until the Legislature decides it. Superior Court still engaged on criminal dock et. Trying James Alexander for mur der to day. Trade moderately good- Cotton coming in plentifully and selling readily at good prices—A good many mechanics are leaving here for Texas—more for Chattanooga, Binqx ingham,Carrollton and other points, on account of the scarcety of work here. More next week. J. A. A. Atlanta Dec., 10th, 1872. «*<<*►«. HoV7 he didn’t "buy that lot. Buyer —What do you ask for that little strip of ground over there? Owner —That ? Well, you see, the time was when land over here in Carroll wasn’t worth much. But the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, will reach Carrollton in time to carry oft’the next crop, the North and South Road will soon get to La Grange, and a good many folks be lieve the Georgia Western will have to fall back on this line. When all our railroads reach Carrollton, land will be worth right smart. That lot is a first-rate one—it lies right between me and # and is in a good neighborhood. It’s not as level as it might be-—in fact, its a lee tie sidling, just a leetle. But that’s an advantage. The water wont set tie ’round your house I have seen a heap worse looking lots than that in Atlanta. Why, I remember when the ground where the Brown House in Macon now stands, was nothing but a big hog wallow. i That lot contains about-one-acre and a-half- —or two acres. I surveyed it the other day, me and ** #l w e stepped it off. I did intend to divide it into two lots of about one acre each , and ■ ask $1 75; but it I sell it all together, j I’ll take S3OO for it. It’s to my interest, you see, to divide it; for if I sell it in a lump, I’ll lose just about half an acre , and that’s a big lot in Atlanta. Buyer —That’s pretty steep—near, ly as steep as the hill side on which the lot lies. Land is high over here, according to your estimate. Owner —High? You don’t call that high ? Why,that’s nothing to the price of lots along White Hall in Atlanta. Buyer —Yes, but this is" not Atlanta Owner —Yet exactly. But the time was when Atlanta wasn’t near as large as Carrollton now is. Our town is-going up right fast. Wc have anew hotel—a two story brick store is building on the square, and houses are just shooting up every where. Land has riz over here—l can tell you that. Buyer —At your prices, I believe land is higher here than in the sub-, urbs of Atlanta. Owner —Well, that’s natural. At lanta has got her growth, and Cars rollton is just beginning to rise. You see, Atlanta is like a fast grow ing girl that marries young. She just busted right out, had a big family quick, and then stopped, clean broke. Carrollton is like a strong, healthy and well kept old maid that bides her time and picks her chance. She’s the man tor your money. Atlanta’s dead broke, you know, and offered for sale Buyer —Your philosophy may be right, but I don’t think )ou and I can trade. I believe I'll go and buy over about the brick yard from Uncle Pat ; he sells good lots at reasonable prices, and the -town is going that way any how. Oxouer —That’s a mighty purtylot, and a big one too. You’d better take k now. It I survey it again, I’m mor ally certain I’ll fetch it out two acres ; and then I’ll ask $350 to S4OO ior it. Buyer —l think your figures will have to come down a good deal.— Benson & Blalock will soon have some lots located and for sale ; and, then, you know, the Blalock estate will be thrown on the market next sale day. Your pig-pen lots will be lost sight of altogether, then. Good morning. Owner —Good morning. I must sell that lot before next sale day, sure, if I can find some greeney to bay. All that iand thrown on the market will knock figures away down yoadef. Spectator. Carroll Masonic Institute. Editor Times.—Allow me through your paper to congratulate the citizens of your town and county, upon their good fortune in securing the perrna neut location and therefore the con timed services of Maj. J. M. Richard son in the Carroll Masonic Institute. \\ ith such a man as Maj, Richardson permanently located in your.midst, and at the head of your Institution of learning, no one could reasonably ex pect any thing but tjie most satisfac tory results. It your people will only give the necessary support and en couragement to Maj. Richardson, he with his present affable and compe tent associate, Prof. S. J. Brown, will build up an Institution of learning, ot which, not only your town and conn ly, but your state may and will be justly proud. The location of your Institute tjves it many advantages. Yours is cer tainly a healthy county; your citizens are generally industrious, sober and frugal. And we know of no county in the State, that lias promise of a brighter future. Your farming population is rapidly increasing, and the agricultural inter cst of your county is very fine, and with the rapid increase of your popus lation you may rapidly calculate that ere long, yours will be one of the first agricultural counties in the State. Your town also has a future ot | m ich promise. With the railroads com plete i that are destined to reach Car rollton soon, you certainly will have as fine market facilities as any other por tion of western Georgia. Hence we think, that the Carroll Masonic Institute, is very fortunately located and if the citizens of Carroll county, and especially those of Carroll ton, will but appreciate the advanta ges to be derived, from having such an Institution 111 their midst, and will reach forth a helping hand, by sup porting the school with their patron age, and by giving to it such other encouragement as the school demands and the faculty deserve, you wt.ll soon have one of the most flourishing schools in the State. Your Institute building is an honor Ito your town and county. There are few such in the western portion of the State. It is an honor especially to its original projectors, many of whom now sleep in your town Ceme tery. Surely their sons and former colaborers will uot forget or neglect their duty to such a noble enterprise as the Carroll Masonic Institute. We have heard it said that but few towns could boast of as many educated and intelligent young gentlemen and lax dies, as Carrollton, in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, and from observation, we must ackuowl edge the saying to be true, attribu ting the result ot such intelligence among your young people, largely to the influence of your Institute. Now let the Institute be fostered carefully that the same may be said ofthose of your children yet to be educated Now is a peculiar and verv interest in V. " ° period in the history of Carrollton and the surrounding community ; the standard of its morals now may have more to do with its future prosperity, and final destiny than many of its present inhabitants, perhaps, may sup pose, so it behooves them to raise the standard of their morals high, and see to it that their sons and daughters, are educated in the highest possible degree, in science, in morals, and in everything that will enable them to be uselul and happy. Hence the Carroll Masonic Institute, should claim your earnest attention. Be sure to sustain those who labor there, not only, for the material good of your town and county, but espeeix ally for the best interest of your sons and daughters, both now and in the future. SVe conclude that any town or community is very fortunate indeed to have such a school in their midst; we feel fully convinced, that ere long your whole country will feel its mor al force, and in your town will be built up a school whose influence will per meate every grade ot your society. Carroll County. “Carioll Poetry.” The La Grange Reporter goes for our “Carroll poet” as follows : “When a good looking yom.g man leaves Carroll county for Texas, that event is poetized thusly : No more for tlieo their blazing: besu th shall burn, Or Carroll sweetheart braid her shining hair ; Soon Texan girls will greet our Toni’s return. And crowd around, his envied kiss to share. Tiieauthoi of such lines is a fit sub ject for emigration himself; and if the Carrollton Times will fence in its “poet’s corner,” it will avoid in the fu ture raids upon Its columns, doubtless very irritable to five editor’s nerves.—Now let him look sharp to that corner.” To which ‘Thespian’ replies thusly : 44 Such shameless bards we have, and yet tis true There are as mad, abandoned critics too ’’ (Pope wrote those lines Mr. Reporter) Strange how these little country ed itors will persist in trying to say something smart at the expense of their literary attainments. The “Nes tor of the Georgia Press tries to “poke fun at a verse that appeared in the Times last week, thinking that it was oriqinal poetry, when it was but a parody upon a verse taken trom one 6f the most beautiful poems in the English language. Truly the man that has never read Gray’s Elegy is beneath him wh q “has no music in his soul,” IT LEADS TO HAPPINESS! A Boon to the whole Race of woman ! Pr. J BRADFIELD'S Female Regulator !
