whether of short or longstanding. He refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ea ried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has i een sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have t een cured by a single bottle, with a p-r
--sect restoration of the general health. It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use is con'inued in smaliec doses for a week or two af
'oL the d,se,ise baa been checked, more especially in

the books of sutler pt ion were opened,
the entire capita, stock, $300,000, was
taken up; and the stockholders pro
ceeded to elect a board of directors,
which resulted in the election of the

We regard this enterprise as a v a ry
worthy and practical one. The line of
Road at present contemplated, from
Cartersville to Van Wert, is only twen
ty miles long, hut it will eventually
form alink in one of the most impor
tant and longest lines in the State, for
we understand that an air line from
New York to New Orleans, would ex- j
actly cover this route. But even this !
twenty mile road will be of great value j
to the people adjacent, and to the whole j
State. Tiie route runs for several j
miles through the rich valley of the j
Etowah, thence up the beautiful and i
fertile valley of Euharlee Creek, right
by the famous Euharlee Mills, whose
celebrated brands of Hour have already
attained a great reputation. In fact
the whole line; runs through some of
the best country in Georgia, or any
where else. Near Van Wert, two no
ble slate quarries have already been
developed—the slate being of the very
best quality, and the suj ply positively
inexhuuiid>Le. Besides this, the whole
route abounds with vast beds of iron,
which is superior in quality and rich
- ness to any of the mines in the United
States. What o' her minerals that may
be developed is yet unknown; perhaps
othei s even more important than the
iron. The importance of the iron in
terests of Georgia cannot be over-esti
mated.
Colonel E. Hulbert, Superintendent
of the State Railroad, in a recent com
munication, made use of the following
remarkable language:
“ The iron crop of Georgia, skillfully
and energetically developed will, in a
few years, exceed in value her cotton
crop.”
Now, if this be true, and we are not
inclined to dispute it, who can estimate
what a mine of wealth Georgia posses
ses simply in her iron deposits. Iron,
■ to a great extent, has made Pennsyl
vania the great, wealthy and powerful
State'she is. Why not perform the
same good offices for Georgia.
This Road will eventually form a
connection with our Savannah, Griffin*
and North Alabama Railroad, and will
thus become an important feeder of j
our Road. When completed to Van j
Wert, it will be about half way to our j
line. Its extension northeast from j
Cartersville, through North Georgia, is
a mere question of time.
The President assured all present at
the Cartersville meeting, that the Road
to Van Wert would be completed by
next fall, and we venture the assertion
that by the time we get our Road fin
ished to Currolton, Major Cooper will
have his arrangements made to meet
us “there, or thereabouts.”
Gartertville is one of the most thriv
ing and prosperous villages in the
State, and is growing very rapidly. It
now contains near 2000 inhabitants.
They are budding a fin© court house
to cost about $20,000. Stores and
private residence are constantly being
built. Quite extensive iron works are
in operation there, and to be speedily
enlarged. We see no reason to doubt
that a few years heace Cartersville will,
contain a population of 10,000 souls.
Th i country adjacent to it is not ex
celled in fertility,, and the variety of its
capacity for producing farm products.
From the top of one of the Cartersville
houses, we saw at one glance at least
a thousand acres of most luxuriant
wheat; the same land is ecpially as
good for cotton and com—in fact, pro
duces glorious crops of whatever is
planted From the Railroad bridge
near town, the farm prospect up and
down the river, is indeed heart ravish
ing; rnd wo w ere glad to see what a
large scope was sown in wheat. V heat
looks finely, and the people of that
section will have ft large surplus to
sell. It is needless to add that this
continent does not produce ft better
article of wheat than the V alloy of Et
owah; and the early season at which
it ripens, gives the producers a great
advantage over the Northern wheat
growers. We were pleased to learn
that labor was becoming more and more J
reliable in that section; though quite
scarce. The laboring element tick* to j
bmines* with comm ndable faithfulness, j
The farmers so far, are pretty forward I
in their farming operations, and all
feel and speak hopefully.
A grand future awaits Georgia, and
especially the Northern portion there
of, of which we shall have more to say
hereafter.
We must not close without mention
ing that we saw fat, good natm ed Sam

A Kick hefacy,
A little boy er.e day, going to school
with his l.able unde; his arm, was met
! by a minister, who asked him what
! book he had there.
| “It is a will, sir, ” said the Loy.
j “What will ?'* asked the minister.
“The last will and testament that
Jesus Christ left to me, and to all who
wish to claim a title to the property
therein left.”
“What did Jesus Christ leave you in
that will ?” asked the minister.
“A kingdom, sir, in heaven.”
“And do you expect to reign as a
king there?”
“Yes, sir; as a joint heir with Christ
“And will not every person get there
as well as you ?”
“No, sir; none can get there but
those that claim their title to that
kingdom upon the ground of the will.’
The minister, who spoke to the hoy,
was one who daily read the Bible him
self, and wished children to go to
school where it was read. He was so
pleased with tho boy’s answer, that he
said:
“Indeed, you are a good little boy.
Take care of that book, in which God
gives you such precious promises; be
lieve what He has said, and you will
be happy here and hereafter.”
Let us follow out the little boy’s
thought, and say:
“When from the dust of earth I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E'en, then, shall this be all my plea,
Josus hath bled, hath died for me.”

Little Folks Learning to walk.
“ Only beginning the journey,
Many a mile is to go;
Little feet are to patter,
Wandering to and fro.
“ Trying again so bravely,
Laughing in baby glee,
Hiding its face in mother’s lap,
Proud as a baby can be.
“Talking the oddest language
Ever before was heard;
But mother —you’d hardly think so —
Understands every word.
“Tottering now and falling,
Eyes that are going to cry;
Kisses and plenty of love-words,
Willing again to try.
“ Father of all 1 Oh, guide them,
The pattering little feet,
WLile they are treading the up-liill
road,
Braving the dust and heat,
“ Aid them when they grow weary,
* Keep them in pathways blest, #
And when the journey’s ended,
Saviour! oh, give them rest.”
4 right with Bedbugs.
“Talk about bed bugs!” said Bill
Jones, who had been across the Plains,
! “you should have seen some of the
critters I met in Idaho last spring. I
stopped one night with some settlers
who lived in a log cabin containing
only one room and a loft. When it
! cai .e time to go to bed, they strung a
| blanket across the middle of the room,
and the settlers family slept on one
j side of it and gave me the other. I
i laid down to go to sleep, and the bed-
I bugs began to gather like lunch-eaters
J around a free ‘lay-out.’ I tried to kiv
j er up and keep away from ’em, but the
pesky varmints would catch hold of the
bed-clothes, and pull them from me.
They didn’t think nothin’ of draggin’
me round the room if I held on. I fit’
em till about midnight, and then I
looked around for some way to escape.
There was a ladder reaching up into
the loft, and I thought the best way to
get away from the blood-suckers was
to get up tkar, so I did. There wasn’t
any bugs in the loft, so I laid down
congratulatin’ myself on my escape.—
Pretty soon I heard the ladder squeak
ing as if somebody was cornin’ up.—
Bimeby I saw a bedbug raise himself
up through the hole made in the floor,
and looked carefully around the loft
Soon as he saw me he motioned to his
chums below—the blood-thirsty cuss—
and cried exuliin’ly, “Come up, boys;
he’s here.”
