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? * ♦ * A Remarkable Escape. Mrs. Mary A. Dailey, of Tunk hannock, Pa., Was afflicted for six years with Asthma and Bronchitis, during which time the Lest phys ical could give no relief. Iler life was dispaired of, until in last October she procured a Bottle of Dr. King’s New "Discovery, when immediate relief was felt, and by continuing its use for a short time she was completely cured, gaining in fleSh 50 lbs. in a few months.

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. Coffins ready finished cheaper than you can make them. Askew Bradley & Co. RTOld paperslor sale at this office* 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 honor, E. P. McCroan, Wadley, Ga; W. S. Branham, Alford, Ga; R. W. Flournoy, Madison, Ga; W T. Hanson, Macon, Ga; J. M Jackson, Jr, Bronson, Florida; J T. MoGehee, Guyton, Ga; W. B. Merritt, Jr, Draneville, Ga; E. C Mobley, Hogansville, Ga; and J T. McGee, Ben Hill, Ga. After finishing their course of study they went home to recreate and prepare for commencement, when they will return to get their diplomas, anq deliver their speeches. In the Junior class there are about forty young men and twelve places are chosen by class standing also to speak at commencement They are: R. L. A vary, Atlanta Ga; W. L. Brittain, Covington, Ga; W.

Turner, Carrollton, Ga; and W. B. Wat kins, Opelika, Ala. 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. A College Boy. Oxford, Ga. 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. — W ANTED—young lady of some a sit nation in a school, either as prin cipal or assistant.

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.
