The Annual Concert of Miss O. L.
Verdery’s Music Class, of tlieCarters
ville Female Seminary, on Thursday
night last, was, as these entertain
ments have Iks'ii heretofore, very in
teresting and pleasing, anil was wit
ness'd by an intensely crowded house,
numbers of spectators not being able
to gain admittance. The music class
was assisted by the entire school.—
Not a common or sorry piece of mu
sic was sung or played that night,
while several of them elicited no lit
tle applause by the auditory, and
none more than “tenting on the old
camp ground,” which was sung by
the entire school, by special request.
This is a charming piece of music—the
more so from the fact that it calls up
many of the pleasing, as well as sad,
reminisences of the pa-J. While oth
er pieces did excite louder manifesta
tions of applause on account of their
fun-provoking and mirth-inspiring
charms, yet in point of adaptability
to the'feelings and sentiments of the
jieople, this was the crowning piece
of the evening—heart-stirring, -oul
upheaving, and eye-bedewing—a
commingling of joys anil sorrows.—
The performances of the misses and
young ladies on the piano-forte, evi
denced a thoroughness of instruction
and proficiency in the science of mu
sic that made every parent’s heart
bound with joy and pride, and inspir
ed our citizens with the utmost con
fidence in the ability of the accom
plished instructress to teach the pleas
ing science. The grace and ease with
which the pupils presided at and per
formed upon the instrument, eviden
ced the most patient and thorough
training, although some of them were
indeed quite young. We might say
a great deal more about Miss Verdery
as an instructress of music, and not
surpass the hounds of propriety—in
fact, it would be difficult for us to say
too much in her commendation, but
we prefer to let the public form their
own conclusions from what they see
and hear at these delightful entertain
ments, and by conferring with those
who have daughters under her in
structions.
We were present at the Seminary
on the forenoon of Thursday last, and
witnessed the awarding of distinc
tions and prizes to the more advan
ced pupils of this school, and felt that
it was good to lie there. The exercis
es of the occasion was opened with
singing by the school, and prayer by
the Rev. Geo. B. Kramer, pastor of
the Methodist E. Church, after which
the advanced classes of young ladies
were arranged, in order, on the ros
trum, and tiie Rev. B. 15. lleadden,
pastor of tlie Baptist Church, deliver
ed to each the awards of distinction,
which were varied according to cir
cumstances, a majority of them, how
ever, were reported perfect in all
their studies. The Rev. Theodore E.
Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, then delivered the prizes, as
follows: For penmanship, Miss Car
rie Marsh, a writing desk, and Miss
Florence Parrott, a silver cup. It
was not intended that these should be
first and second prizes; for spelling,
Miss Emma Milam, a book ; for de
portment, Miss Carrie Milner, a copy
of ‘Literature, Art and Song,’ by Tom
.Moore. This book was drawn, all in
the class having been reported per
fect. The benediction was then pro
nounced by Rev. Geo. It. Kramer,
and the audience dispersed. Other
prizes were awarded to other pupils,
on the day before, but we were not
present to note them.
At night, during the Concert, the
Rev. Dr. Wills, President of Ogle
thorpe College, Atlanta, Ga., being
present, by engagement, was intro
duced to the audience, by Rev. Dr.
Felton, and lie then and there deliv
ered the Annual Literary Address to
the School, in a very brief and equal
ly spirited manner. It was a most
happy effort, arousing and enlivening
the vast audience into a perfect blaze
of enthusiasm. The doctor was brim
full of humor and life, and adapted
his remarks, which sparkled with
gems of wisdom and was laden with
golden admonitions, to the compre
hension of all present. The burden
of his address was directed to woman
—her mission and sphere. So pleas
ing was his style of address and so
sweet-spirited in his bearings towards
the misses and young ladies, that lie
found a hearty response from them in
showers of boquets. Never was an
address received with better cheer,
nor produced a more fervent response
in the hearts of hearers, than was this.
The speaker added a leaf to his chap
let in the affections of our citizens.
The boys of Oglethorpe will find, no
doubt, in the girls of tiie Cartersville
Female Seminary allies worthy of
i their steel. The evening’s entertain
ment passed off in a style truly grat
ulating to all who witnessed it.
Dr. Wills, when asked Ills opinion
of the school, replied that the citizens
of Cartersville ought, by all means,
; to tear down that old shanty and build
: an edifice worthy of their teachers.—
Who, of our citizens, lias the face to
deny the proposition—let him speak.

DEATH OF JUDGE PARROTT.
It becomes our painful duty to an
nounce the death of the Hon. Josiah
R. Parrott, who departed this life at
Mont vale Springs, Tennessee, on Mon
day night last. His remains reached
Cartersville by the down train on
Tuesday night at 11 o’clock, and was
met by some the members ofthe ma
sonic lodge and also of the Bar and a
large number of our citizens at the
depot, all of whom deeply sympathize
with the distressed family. In the de
cease of Judge Parrott, this commu
nity has sustained a loss which it will
lie difficult to repair, being as he was,
one of our most useful and active cit
izens, always alive to the interests of
our growing town, and who by his
energy and foresight largely contribu
ted to her present prosperity. On
the bench he was dignified, ready,
and able, and by his wise adminis
tration proved himself one of the
most efficient and popular J udges ever
known to the circuit. In all the per
sonal relations of life he was warmly
regarded by his friends, and was al
ways kind and good. While in the
family circle he was the devoted hus
band, and dear and gentle father.
Toiling from early life, patiently
and industriously, he rose from pov
erty and obscurity, to fortune and
honor, and in his last moments was
not without hope of a better hereaf
ter. If faults he had, and who has
not? they sleep with him in his silent
grave; be it ours to remember and
cherish his many manly virtues.
The loss of Judge Parrott is but
another added to the large and in
creasing list of the many prominent
citizens of the State, who have lately
passed away, repeating, by its mouru
ful and impressive teaching the voice
of inspiration, “ be ye also ready.”
“ All flesh is as grass, and all the
glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, anil the flower
thereof falleth away, but the word of
the I»rd endureth forever, and this
is the word, which by the gospel is
preached unto you.”
CHEROKEE COUNTY NEWS.
CHEROKEE COUNTY SKETCHES.
SO. VII.
About the year 1810, Dr. John W.
Lewis, Jabez Galt, the Gramblings,
and others, removed from Spartan
burg Disk, S. C., to Canton. Dr.
Lewis was no ordinary man. His
frame was large, his constitution ro
bust, and bis mind was strong and
vigorous. By reason of his superior
judgment and close attention to busi
ness, lie amassed a large fortune, and
was ever regarded as one of the most
prominent and useful men of Chero
kee Georgia. lie was a minister in
the Baptist church, and was a practi
cal, forcible anil eloquent preacher.
His powers of analysis and illustra
j tion were great, and hi*- logic was
; most convincing anil impressive.
iiis preaching was of such a character !
| as to be adapted to the comprehension j
|of ail. It was generally simple, yet
i always eloquent and charming. He
, could take for his subject, a grain of
corn or wheat, a hen and her chick
ens, and interest and delight an au
dience for hours at a time. Dr. Lew
is possessed a melancholy turn of 1
mind, and almost always seemed ab- j
sorbed in deep and pensive thought.
In iiis ministrations in the pulpit, j
the pathetic element prevailed, and
many of his hearers would weep like 1
children.
At one time he represented the
counties of Cherokee and Cobb in
tiie Senate of the State, and perhaps
there were none in that body whose
judgements were sounder and whose
councils were more safe and prudent.
W hen Joseph E. Brown was elected
Governor, Dr. Lewis was appointed
Superintendent of the State Road,
and iiis superior management of that
important interest is well known to
all the people of Georgia. The rigid
economy which he practiced, and the
good, sound common sense which he
displayed while in that office, was
most commendable to every honest,
sensible man, and his conduct affords
a valuable example, and one which
is well worthy of the imitation of ail
who are intrusted with the manage
ment of the interests of the public,
it was a sacrifice on tiie part of Dr.
Lewis to accept an office, the duties \
of which were so arduous and respon
sible; but he did it to set tiie people
an example , and we hope that ex
ample will not be lost. If we could
always have such men in office, the
people would not groan under taxa
tion nor mourn under oppression.
Soon after the beginning of the late
war, Dr. Lewis was appointed, by
the same authority, to a seat in the
Confederate States Senate, to fill a
vacancy occasioned by the resigna
tion of Itobt. Toombs, lie was a
faithful Senator, strongly supporting
tiie administration, and willing, as
we heard him say, to sacrifice all up
on the altar of his country.
When he heard of the surrender of
our armies to the federal authorities,
his mind was filled with gloom and
despondency, and seemed impressed
with tiie thought that he would be
one of the victims upon whom would
be wreaked tiie vengeance of iiis
country’s enemies. His pardon was
secured at considerable cost, but
when it came, our noble old friend
had gone “ where the wicked cease
from troubling and where the weary
are at rest. ” He died at liis home
near Canton, and soon after his death,
liis bereaved and disconsolate com
panion followed him to that home
above, where “sighing and sorrow
shall flee away, and where there
shall be no more death. ”
Jabez Galt was a brother-in-law of
Dr. Lewis, was a good, substantial
citizen, an active and successful
business man, a kind and obliging
friend, and a consistent member of
tiie Presbyterian Church. He died
suddenly a good many years ago,
and left a large family of children,
mostly sons, some of whom are still
living and are good and useful mem
bers of society, but the majority of
them have “joined their fathers” in
that land which is beyond the Jordan
of death.
The Rev. Andrew Grumbling is
still living near Canton, and is a re
markable ease of longevity. We
suppose lie is something more than
ninety years of age, and when we
saw him, a few months ago, was
still able to walk about and to follow,
to some extent, his occupation, which
is chair making. For many years
he \i as a useful minister of tiie Meth
odist Church, and enjoyed a reputa
tion as one of the “ Sweet Singers of
Israel.” Several years ago his mind
became very much impaired, and for
some time he has known but little
about anything except his bible, iiis
prayers and iiis religion. In this
respect lie still “ flourishes like the
palm tree,” and is “ like a tree plant
ed by the rivers of water, ivhich
bringeth forth its fruit in old age.”
We think “father Grambling” lias
long been beyond the reach of temp
tation, is standing, to-day, “ quite on
the verge of Heaven.”
Jasper L. Keith was, for many
years, the popular and efficient Clerk
ofthe Superior Court of Cherokee
county. We believe he was gener
ally elected to the office without op
position, as men of all parties were
willing to “ let well enough alone.”
He may have been fortunate enough
to have had some enemies, but we
are certain that he narrowly escaped
the woe which is pronounced against
those of whom all men speak well.
He was, during the many years of
his residence at Canton, an active
and zealous member of the Metho
dist Church, and though “ the love
of many often waxed cold,” our
friend was faithful in sunshine and
in storm. When the war came on
he entered the service as a commis
sary, and acted in that capacity until
the surrender. At the close of the
war he removed to Atlanta, where
he now’ resides as proprietor of the
“ Air-Line House.”
During the four or five years im
mediately preceding] the war, the
copper-mine excitement prevailed ex
tensively about Canton and in other
sections. The “Canton Copper
Mine” gained a considerably notorie
ty during the time of which we write.
It was located about a mile south
west of the village, and employed a
great number of hands, and absorbed
money by the hundred thousand dol
lars. If any but speculators in stock
realized any profit from it, however,
we never knew it. During one of
our visits to the mine, we were pre
vailed on by our friend, the Rev.
Frank Harris, the Superintendent, to
accompany him down into the mine.
A succession of ladders reached from
the top to the bottom of the shaft,
and we went down, down, down,
•to a distance of one hundred and
ninety feet, and saw the operators at
work in the tunnels around. Our cu
riosity was soon satisfied, and for
; one time at least iu our life we pos
sessed an aspiring disposition, and
expressed a decided inclination to
“go up.” Our motto ivas, “ Excel
sior,” ourtenciencywas upwards, and
up we went in a hurry; but thought
it required a long time to reach the
top, hut we did reach it after awhile,
doffed our miner’s over suit
and resolved that we would never
avail ourself of an opportunity to ex
plore the “ towels of the earth” i
again. We have a horror for dens
and caves and all sucli subterranean
curiosities. Others may examine
them if they wish to, and we will be
satisfied with any account which
they may give of them.
Canton was quite a lively place
during those days when the copper
fever raged. Money was compara
tively plentiful, and business flour
ished. Our friend, the Rev. Gusta
ves Rogers, was for a Nvhile Super
intendent of tiie Copper Mines. He
was a man of considerable ability,
was a genial, good fellow, anil would
doubtless have been very useful if lie
had lived. He was an excellent
preacher for one of his age and ex
perience, and did a great deal of good
while he was a citizen of the county.
He was elected captain of a company
which went to the war from Macon,
and fell mortally wounded while
gallantly engaged in one of the great
battles in Pennsylvania. His was a
noble spirit, indeed one of the noblest
that ever obeyed the behests of pa
triotism.
Col. Mansen Jones was also en
gaged in business at Canton in those
days. He came from Savannah, and
was a polished gentleman and a zeal
ous and useful Christian. We loved
him as a friend and brother, and
would rejoice to meet him now.
Col. Elkanah Shuford Nvas for
many years a resident of Canton.
He was a man of considerable means,
and was a prominent member of the
Presbyterian Church. He is at this
time living at Acworth.
Maj. Andrew H. Shuford also
figured about Canton for some time j
before the war. He was a peculiar
man in some respects. He possessed
a large fund of humor, and was full
of side-splitting jokes and anecdotes
about tiie North Carolina Dutch and
others. He has made us laugh off
the blues many a time! He was
perfectly at home on the hustings,
and delighted in political maneuv
ring. He was also a zealous
member of the Methodist Church,
and was a host at camp meetings.
He could sing and exhort as Nvell as
any one on such occasions, and was
always willing to do all that lie could
to promote the interests of the church.
Our friend, like ourself, had some
little failings; nevertheless, we liked
him, and his kind and excellent fam
ily will ever be gratefully remember
ed by us. After the war, Maj. .Shu
ford went back to North Carolina,
from whence he came.
A DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN CHERO
KEE COUNTY.
At a regular Democratic meeting of
the citizens of Cherokee county, Ga.,
a number of the oldest residents being
present, held at Canton on the 4th of
June, 1872, James McConnell, Esq.,
was requested to act as Chairman and
William Grisham as Secretary.
On motion, it was agreed that the
Chairman appoint a committee of
three to nominate delegates to repre
sent this county in the ensuing con
vention to be held in Atlanta.
That committee having retired a
few minutes, returned and reported
the names of T. D. Evans, Dr. John
M. Turk, F. M. Daniel, T. B. Davis
and J. J. A. Sharpe, and Alternates,
Joshua Roberts, Joseph Donaldson,
James McConnell, William Grisham
and Wm. A. Teasley, which report
was accepted and confirmed.
It is agreed that a Convention will
be held at Canton on the first Tues
day in August to nominate a candi
date for the Legislature and candi
dates for County officers—and it is
: very desirable that every District
; should be represented by three dele
gates at that meeting.
The Secretary is requested to fur
; nish'the Marietta Journal, also the
| Standard & Express of Cartersville
Nvith a copy of these proceedings.
James McConnell,
Chairman.
William Grisham,
Secretary.
P. H. Brewster, Local & Ag’l. Ed.
We understand that there are some
persons in town who pour kerosene
oil over their wood, when they put
it in their stoves, to facilitate com
bustion. We hope when those lots
where such persons live are made va
cant by the above means, that those
who shall come in possession of them
will erect upon the same spots, good
substantial buildings again.
On last Monday morning we were
visited by a fine shower of rain, which
greatly promoted our horticultural
interests. We, that is ourself, have
lots of vegetables and our friends
needn’t send us any. If they want to
do us a favor, they can send us mon
ey. Our english peas are ripe, and if
our better half and children would
let our cucumbers alone they would
soon be ripe also, but they will pull
and eat them green.
It is said that “a little learning is a
dangerous thing,” but we think that
a small amount of a good thing is
better than none at all. Because a
man cannot be a philosopher, is no
reason why he should be content to
be a complete fool.
An intimate acquaintance with
great men, would convince us that
they too, like common mortals, have
their weaknesses, which many of their
inferiors would blush to own.
A youthful writer wants to know
what magazine would give him the
highest position the quickest. We
think a powder magazine would do
the business for him.
If all men were truly wise who
think they are so, what a vast amount
of wisdom would there be in the
land!

A Pitiful Condition.
It is a sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Vet there are thousands whose habitual
condition is one of languor and debility. They
complain of no specific disease; they suffer no
positive pain; but they have no relish for any
thing which affords mental or sensuous pleas
ure. In nine cases out of ten this state ot lassi
tude and torpor arises from a morbid stomach.
Indigestion destroys the energy of both mind
and body. When the waste of nature is not
supplied by a due and regular assimilation of
the food, every organ is starved, every function
interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression? The sys
tem needs rousing and strengthening; hot
merely for an hour or two, to sink afterward
into n'more pitiable condition than ever (as it
assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic
stimulant were resorted to,) but radically and
permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accom
plished? The answer to this question, founded
on the unvarying experience ol'a quarter of a
century, is easily given. Infuse new vigor in
lo the digestive organs by a course of Ilostet
ter~ stomach Bitters. l)o not waste time ty
administering temporary remedies, but wake
the system up by recuperating the fountain
head of physical strength and energy, the great
organ upon which all the other organs depend
for their nurture and support.
By the time that a dozen doses of the great
vegetable tonic and invigorant have been tak
en, the feeble frame of the dyspeptic will be
gin to feel its benign influence. Appetite will
he created, and with appetite ilie capacity to
digest what it craves. Persevere until the cure
is complete—until healthful blood, lit to be the
material of flesh and muscle, bone and nerve
and brain, flows through the channels of circu
lation, instead of the watery pabulum with
which they have heretofore been imperfeetlv
nourished. 6-o—4t. ’

Clap-clap and Cant. —Invalid reader, if you
are unwise enough to put yourself outside of
any of the mock tonic* guaranteed to contain
’’no diffusive stimulant,” you will inevitably
come to grief. Ask your physician if any
liquid preparation, destitute of stimulating
properties, is worthy of the name ot a tonic.
He will tell you no. Shun all such nauseous
•catchpennies. Plantation Bitters, the most
wholesome invigorant in the world, owes the
rapiditv with which it relieves the disordered
stomach and the shattered nerves to the diffu
sive agent which conveys its medicinal ingre
dients to the seat ol' the complaint. That agent
is the spirit of the sugar cane, the most nutri
tious and agreeable of the varieties of alcohol.
The medicinal ingredients ofthe Bitters, valu
able as they are, would be comparatively use
less without tliis distributive basis. They
would ferment and sour. Beware, as you hope
for health, ofthe horrible compounds of refuse
drugs in a state of lermentation which hum
bugs are endeavoring to foist upon the public
as medicines. .
