To Build up.
“Thcieis that which ecattoreth
and yet increaseth.”
In order to build any city or
town, there thould be a sufficent
number of its citizens of a liberal
disposition to make contributions
to every enterprise wisely conceived
to promote the interests of such
eity or town. When a movement
is inaugurated for the development
of a country’s resources of a public
nature, the citizens should take
hold of the movement, and bolster
it up with funds in its very incipicn
ey, that others seeing a determina
tion Upon the part of some to make
it a success will rally to their aid,
hnd their liberal contributions
ft Well the coffers, guaranteeing a
decided success. An illiberal, close
fisted man in a community is of
more injury a great deal than good
to that community as far as public
matters are concerned. You pro
pose to give a barbecue for the
farming friends, and you go around
kmong the citizens of the town so
liciting contributions, and you will
find merchants hesitating and re
fusing to contribute a dollar toward
Mtl enterprise for the pleasure of
those Whose patronage makes
Wealth, such men arc of no value
to any towm Several years ago
While only a few men lived in
Cftrrolltort, by their energy and
liberality, enough money was raised
in a short while, to build the semi
nary, the largest house in the coun
ty, while lumber was high and
Workmen hard to secure, and com
manded very large wages. Now
with a population of over fifteen
hundred souls,l doubt very capital',
ly if their could be one thousand
dollars raised for such a purpose
AVc need men of public spirit, lit
tle toWns arc springing up a]
around ours, and if Carrollton does
Hot mind, our trade will be taken
from us, and our town will be left
high and dry. More public spirit
ted men to fill the places of those
Mho once lived ill our midst, is
what we need. Oh for an Ahaz
Boggess to take the lead, and such
men to follow as Dr. Tanner, lien
ty Merrell, J. M. Blalock, Sanford
Kingsberry, and others like them,
and our city would grow with the
times and develop into the magni
tude that she Would justly merit.
What inducement does Carrollton
offer to prospectors? what advance
ment does any one apprehend
making who moves to our town?

On Friday evening last, Johnie
Sharp, the youngest son of G.- A.
Sharp, Esq,having, after the labors
of the day were ended, partaken
of the evening meal with the fam
ily, sat and talked cheerfully with
his father about the duties of
the next day, and asking his father
to call him early, retired. He had
told his father that he wanted to
rise early, that he might finish cer
tain work, and have the next even"
ing for rest. The rest came, alas,
sooner than he expected. It was
but a few minutes, perhaps five,
may be not over three minutes ass
ter Johnie had retired, when his
father, hearing an unusual noise,
went to the bed, and found him dy
ing, and, in a moment, dead. The
bereaved father and’ family have
our heartfelt sympathy.

ATHENS LETTER.
Athens, Ga., June sth, ’BS.
Measles have broken into the
college campus at last. Have sent
about adozen Juniors home, in ad
dition to several Seniors. ’Tis bad
on the boys, but such is life. Pro
fessors object to their studying
more this scholastic year. Have
to make it up next. It is predicted
by those well acquainted with the
boys here that they (the measles,)
will die instanter, when they strike
the Sophs., and Freshmen, —don’t
know.
Boot licking, among those doubt
ing a “rise,” is now at its supcrla
tivc intensity. It is said that
among those of distinction in this
art is a lad from the Gate City,
who addresses himself to the all
important subject with an artifice
and skill seldom ever witnessed,
and with a degree of success almost
without a parallel.
An election on the 2nd, of four
members to represent the Law de
partment before the board of ex
amination, resulted in the choice
of R. N. Johnson, of Miss.; J. D.
Mell, son of Chancellor; John Mor
ris, son of Prof. M.; and the writer.
Trial on 4th, Johnson and Mell,
for plaintiff, Morris and writer for
defendant; verdict for defendant;
attorneys’ fee-—“set up” to soda
water. Now the avei age boarder ex
hausted from an abortive assault with
intent to commit the crime of mas
tication upon a hunk of beef, a
part of the person of the old Bell
cow late deceased, waits coms
placently his “dab” of ice-cream
and dozen straw-b erries; —“variety
is the spice of life.”
Athens thinks she can do with
out an artesian well no longer.
“University boys” beat the fam
ous Lexington nine in a match
game a few days since. The score
stood 6 for University boys to 3
for Lexington, The former omit
ted the last inning. Our boys
“goose-egged” them three innings
in succession.
Well, Mr. Editor, this mundane
sphere scarcely obtains her equi
librium from one revolution until
another has placed its relentless
grasp upon her. The Eastern
troubles have suspended only to
give place to what now seems an
inevitable split in one of the color
ed churches in this city- Cause,
whether the “ten virgins” were
men or women. Either faction is
equally uncompromising as to this
cardinal point of doctrine. Serious
results apprehended. It is not
known what effect will be produced
on the markets. It is conjectured,
however, that provisions will be
“raised”. Preparations arc being
made to meet the exigency; not
however, by planting large crops,
but by locking up what rations are
on hand. The writer of the edito
rial on man’s proneness to see evil
when good is much nearer, certain
ly knew what he was talking about.
’Tis strange, but true, that every
man knows the truth whenever
he hears it. W.

Emory College.
Editor Times: —Knowing that
many of your readers are interes
ted in Emory College, I will en
deavor to give them a few facts
concerning what is being done
here.
This college year, has been one
of great interest and improvement
in all departments. The base ball
ists have not been idle in their de
partments, those who delight in
playing “cutter,” have learned to
jump like frogs, in the gymnasium
they have shown activity, and in
all departments of learning they
have been attentive and obedient.
The class of ’BS has just gradu
ated, being twenty three in the
class. The honors and speaker's
places are awarded according to
class standing, and are as follows:
Ist honor E. P Allen, Shangbia,
China; 2nd honor, J. Hollingss
worth, Tampa, Fla; 3rd honor,
E. P. Burns, Atlanta, Ga; 4th

We have had an attendance of
about three hundied students this
year. Our President, Dr. Hop
kins, has just returned from an ex
tended trip through tb.e North and
East, where he has been to exam
ine the various Technological in-'
stitutes in those sections, and to
purchase machinery for the one
that he is building here. He has
established a Technological de
partment and is now building a
splendid brick house for that pur
pose. This will be the first school
of thc'kmd established in the State
it is an enterprise we cannot too
much encourage. Many of our en
ergetic young men, who have licit h
er the time nor the money to spare
to acquire a classical education,
can thus prepare for some useful
trade. When completed this will
be the eighth brick building on the
college campus, and about thirty
recitation rooms.
Our commencement comprises
the last week in June and closes
the Ist day in July, Hon. AV. B.
Hill of Macon, Ga. will be our
commencement orator. He is to
deliver the “Literary Address” be
fore the two societies. There will
be a full attendance of visitors
from all over the state, aud I un -
derstand that one of Carrollton’s
belles will be in attendance on that
occasion. We will assure a nice
time to all who may come, for
the exercises are always interes
ting and instructive. The "Cham
pion debate between the Few and
Phi Gamma societies comes off on
Monday night of commencement.
The subject for discussson is this:
“Shall we hold to the present jury
system?” This is a live subject
and will be well discussed by our
best debaters. If you publish this
1 will send more anon.

The following, which we take
from the editorial columns of the
Atlanta Journal, so well expresses
our views that we adopt and coni"
mend it to our Christian readers:
Whenever a tidal wave of relis
gious cxcitemement sweeps over
a community, and religious fervor
and zeal is at a white heat, we are
apt to overlook the great prepara
tory work which has preceded this
overwhelming event, and without
which the volume of a tidal wave
would never have been reached—
we mean the quiet, faithful, con->
stant and powerful work of om
local ministers. This work is not
as brillant, nor as full of color and
motion as the periodical “revival
season,” but is equally as effective,
and, in the long run, doubtless
more effective than the spasmodic
effects of religious tidal waves.—
Let it be distinctly understood that
we are in favor of and approve all
good means for the promotion of
Christianity and the establishment
of Christs’ kingdom on earth, but
we are not willing, because of these
transient excitements, to overlook
the constant faithful, and heaven
blessed work of the zealous men of
God wiio adorn our pulpits and in
a more quiet way work for Jesus
and the souls of men.

Correspondence.
Editor Tinies:—After an absence
of over six years from old Carroll
and her people, and having been
through all the west, —the country
that attracts and, magnetic-like,
draws the population from every
where, or in other words, “having
seen the elephant” from all sides,
many questions naturally follow
from my friends. I take this meth
od of giving them only a few of
the general outlines and items of
general information, for it would
take too much space and time to
tell one half concerning the West,
and the South West. Over six
years ago I “packed” my grip and
made a rush for the West,-—tire
dream land of wealth and plenty—
the land of milk and honey; where
money grew on trees and the streets
are paved with gold. I was out
for the lucre and fully believed I
would meet with little difficulty in
gaining my heart's desire. I struck
Texas about the center and quickly
settled and viewed the sur
roundings and began preparation
to put up gold in large quantities
that season. After a few months
of getting .ready and enjoying
those felicitous, grand and exquis
ite expectations, I experienced
a change of heart, and realized for
the first time that I was living in a
cold heartless and unsociable world.
The beauties of the picture were
no longer to be seen. I saw rich
land and plenty of it. I noticed
plenty of cattle and thousands of
fair investments. All these were
to balance the poor water, mean
climate and rough society. At
last 1 came to the conclusion, that
1 had not reached the West and
“made another break” for the set
ting sun, —to reach the horizon—
that far away land of beautiful
distance and seducive enchant
ments. About a year after my ar
rival in Texas found me in Silver
City, New Mexico, where it was
said they shoveled the money into
sacks, and gathered it from bushes
like leaves. This was the land
where they dug the earth for the
precious metal —a mining country.
People were wild with the fe
ver. Emigration was growing dai
ly and the towns in the hills sprang
up like rank vegetation.
The press for the almighty dol
lar was great. The “tender foot”
and the “green horn” were the re
alistic chance for fun and evening
sport from the old sturdy prospec
tors.
March 2nd 1867 the boundaries
of New Mexico were so established
that the territory now has an av
erage breadth of 315 miles and 390
miles long, making an average of
121,201 square miles. The terri
tory is divided into 13 counties. —
The surface of the country is mark
ed with mesas,mountain and valley >
by abrupt bluffs and foot hills, by
deep canons and by mountain
gorges and vernal parks. The
altitude ranges from 3,844 feet to
13, 893 feet. The Rio Grande is
the largest stream of water, about
like the Chattahoochee. The re
sources of the territory consist
very largely of its mines of precious
metals, copper, lead, manganite
and iron; besides mica, salt, coal,
gypsum, lime, cement, sulphur,
mineral paint, marble and precious
stones of turquois, garnet and em
erald. Agriculture is confined to
the valleys, where irigation can
be made available and of sufficient
breadth to supply home demand. —
The mesas or table lands constitute
the pastoral ranges and are capa
ble of producing cattle and sheep
for the million. Timber abounds
in sufficient quantities for all local
puposes. Mexican independence
came in 1821, and in 1822, New
Mexico had a government under
Francis Xavier Chaves as political
chief. November 29th 1835 dated
the publication of the first newspa
per west of St. Louis. It was
named “El Crepuscula” (“The
Dawn.”) In 1837 we have the
revolution and the assassination of
of Governor Perez. 1842 dates
the Texas invasion and 1846, the
American occupation of New Mex
ico by Gen. Stephen 11. Kearney.
The climate of New Mexico is the
best known. The thermometer
very rarely goes below zero, nor
reaches higher than ninety degrees
This is by far the be*t raining
country to invest your money* it
is the best country for cattle and
the farmer raises all he can gather
These are a few of the good things
I have not time nor the space ’ t<;
toll of the other side of the picture;
but let it suffice to say to my
friends that I have traveled, 25,000
miles over this I nio i and in the
Republic of Mexico, and as far as
my judgement, peaches 1 have not
been able to see any country that
excels old Georgia—the empire
state of the south, all things con
sidered. The advantage we
have here of school, church and
good society are real gems only
valued when they are out of reach
and beyond our privilege. The
population of New Mexico amounts
to about 140,000, and of this num
ber 100,000 are Mexicans an 1 In
dians. The people are pricstridden,
held in ignorance by the church
(Catholic) and are in the same old
ruts as they were years past. I
would say to a young man not set
tied in life who has little money and
io willing to work and be industri
ous and settled he can do well in
New Mexico. Again I would sav
that if a young man, or any other
man is in employment, making a
sure, comfortable lining and saving
a dollar or two every month, he
iiad best stand still and stay with
withit. The old'adage th;it “a
rolling stone gathers no moss,”
has but few exceptions as regards
this. The old red hills of Geor
gia are as good as any lands any
where. The day.will come when
our people may learn how to farm
and take care of‘their lands. I sec
through the New England, North
ern and Middle states, farms that
haze been in cultivation since be
fore the revolutionary war, and to
day they are richer than any.
They improve their places, and
look out for years to come. When
we of the south learn to farm and
make homes happy, then will the
country prosper more, and our peo
ple be more contented. I will give
my views in a future article probably
upon the best plan for our farmers to
adopt. No one has a heartier and
a more eager interest in the dear
old people of Carroll than myself.
This the land of my birth and
childhood, these the people—my
people, (and I am proud to be call
ed one of their number) I wish
well for their best interests and
welfare. May the blessing of con
tentment be yours, this coupled
with industry and perseverance
will win success, and-peace, plenty
and prosperity will be yours. I
greet you all and wish you well.
Respectfully;
Alva C. Lowrey.
