We are requested to state that, ow
ing to the fact that the wheat harvest
is upon u.s, and it is a very busy time,
the gentlemen engaged in making up
a cavalry company met last Saturday
according to appointment, and post
poned any further meeting until Sat
urday, tho 22nd Inst., at the Court-
House in this place, at 2 o’clock, P.
M., when the rush of business will be
over, at which time they propose to
proceed with the election of officers.
Those who have already joined, and
others who may wish to join, are re
quested to be present—fail not.
The first installment of 250 bushels
of new white wheat was brought in
to this market, by Col. J. J. Howard,
on this (Wednesday) morning, June
19th, and was shipped forthwith to
Messrs. Cook & Cheek, Marietta, for
which they pay $2.00 per bushel. It
weighed sixty-three pounds to the
bushel. ’They offer a premium to
the conductor who delivers the first
cargo of new wheat.
This locality was visited by a con
siderable storm of wind and rain, on
Tuesday evening last. Some dam
age ensued to wheat and oats by the
wind, but was counteracted by the
beneficial effects of the rain upon the
growing crops.
Messrs. Jackson and Baker are put
ting a heavy pine iron front to their
new brick stores, which will give
them a handsome appearance.
We learn that the Rowland Springs
property, near this place, will soon
be sold at administrator’s sale under
an order of the court of Ordinary.—
When these springs were open for
visitors, as many as 400 have been in
attendance at a time. It might and
would, doubtless, be so again if ac
commodations could now be afforded
the public.
Brick and mortar are still having

Rural Observations.
On Thursday of last week we rode
out into the country to view the
farms and crops of some of our agri
cultural friends, and enjoyed our ex
cursion exceedingly well.
As we passed down the Douthitt’s
ferry road, our attention was first at
tracted by the fine crops of com, cot
ton and wheat of our friend Capt. M.
L. Pritchett. We decided that his
cotton, taken as a whole, was the best
that we had seen. It was thinned to
a stand, had been well cultivated, was
of uniform size, and gave promise of
a large crop. His wheat also was
good and the reaper was cutting it
down after the best style of the art.
How delightful to behold the golden
grain, invariably and inseperably as
sociated as it Is with good eating. Af
ter crossing the river, we passed
through Douthitt’sand Quarles’ farms
ami found them in good order, and
with good crops upon them. As we
passed Quarles’, we saw the largest
herd of young asses we ever beheld —
that is of that variety. What a vast
amount of braying will there be at
that place, when they all turn loose!
Our next observations were made
on the splendid farm of our kind and
esteemed friend, Mrs. Field. She has
about three hundred acres in cultiva
tion, and to behold the sea of waving
crops growing on those fertile lands
reminds one of Egypt, whither the
sons of Jacob went for corn. Here
we gathered some specimens of wheat
which we think equals any we ever
saw. The grains are large, plump
and firm. We saw on the farm what
we never saw before—a water-melon
field. There were four acres planted
in vines, and the prospect was fine for
a good crop. We suggest that a
branch railroad be run in that direc
tion, in order that those melons may
be brought to town when they get
ripe. We found our clever young
friend, Richard, following the plow
as it turned the mellow soil, and we
thought he displayed good sense in
selecting an occupation so pleasant, so
noble and independent. “ Dick” has
a nice crop of his own, and “ while
sluggards sleep, will have corn to sell
and keep;” and not only will he have
corn, but cotton and wheat too in
abundance. If more young men
would go to farming it would be bet
ter for them and the country too.
Returning homeward by way of
Tumlin’s mills, we passed our friend
Capt. Dobbs’ beautiful farm, and
found his crops flourishing under his
skillful management; and our friend
Napoleon Tumlin has a good crop on
his convenient and excellent farm.
Crossing the river we noticed that
Col. Tumlin had harvested his fine
wheat near the mill, and by putting
them close together there seems to be
room enough for the shocks to stand
on the ground.
Capt. Puckett, Dr. Leake, Dr. Trot
ter and others have line crops in the
vicinity of town, and the prospect is
favorable for our people to have
“ plenty and to spare.”
Yearling Boys. —lt is astonish
ing often to see the amount of knowl
edge possessed now-adays by yearling
hoys—boys in their teens, who as
sume all the importance of manhood
before they have cut their second
teeth, or ceased to crave bread and
butter between meals! Oh how self
conceited and unteachable those inte
resting chaps with their incipient
beards are often found to be! Really,
in their own estimation, what they
don’t know aint worth knowing.
They are rebates when compared to
many of their old fogy seniors, and
are only waiting for a good opportu
nity to astonish and admiring world,
with their intellectual exploits. They
go to church to criticise the sermon,
the prayers, the songs and everything
they see or hear, and are not at all
backward in expressing their impor
tant opinions upon any and all sub
jects, even in the presence of those
who have probably forgotten more
than they will ever know. We like
clever, well-behaved, respectful boys,
but deliver us from those sappy, im
pudent sprouts who are too big for
their trowsers, and who lmve’nt learn
ed enough to know how green they
are! Such boys, or young men, are
not apt to make wise, respected and
useful citizens, for Solomon says,
“Seeest thou a man wise in his own
conceit? There is more hope of a fool
than of him!”
Town Hall. —On Friday and Sat
urday evening, The Pilgrim, or Life
Illustrated will be exhibited at Town
Hall. The entertainment is said to
comprise exquisite landscapes, rich
historical paintings, character por
traitures, etc. A prominent and en
tertaining feature of the exhibition
is the grand transformation scene,
which is said to be the ne plus ultra
of spectacular productions.
The New York Intelligencer says
of the Pilgrim Exhibition:
No on(' can form an appropriate
idea of the grand conceptions and
striking imagery used iu Pilgrim’s
Progress till he has seen this inimita
ble painting. Beautiful is not the
word. We might exclaim with po
etic fervor that they were “sublime,”
But sublimity is not their own qual
ity. Most that we can say of them
is, that like a noble sermon, coming
from the pure heart and luminous
mind of a good minister, they awe
the spectator into silence and feelings
of insignificance, and we know not of
a higher compliment to pay these
paintings. Like music and eloquence,
works of art are to be judged more
by the effect they produce on the
willing mind than by any rules of
fixed criticisms, and that the effect of
these representations is ennobling
there is no question.
If the reverential are made more
reverential, and the light-minded to
forget their silly levity, while gazing
on these conceptions of the poet and
painter, the Pilgrim needs no de
fender. Then, their object is attain
ed, and criticism pro ves nothing.
New Postal Route. —Through
the efforts of General Young, our
postmaster and others, anew postal
route has been established from Car
tersville to Dahlonega, via Ball
Ground, Waleska and Dawsonville,
which will be put in operation as ear
ly as the necessary arrangements can
be made. This will be a great con
venience to the good citizens along
this route, as many of them are en
tirely destitute of mail facilities.
()ur senior local left for Chattanooga
on last Monday morning, and if his
department falls short of its usual in
teresting variety, the fact mentioned,
will, we hope, be deemed a sufficient
apology. We doubt the propriety of
our friends’ visit to Chattanooga "un
der the circumstances, as the editor
of the Times has intimated a disposi
tion to challenge our “ fighting edi
tor,” and our senior is the man. We
hope, however, that if he fights he’ll
“ run away and live to fight another
day.”
Mrs. Brack’s Concert.—We had
the pleasure of attending thiaaCon
eert last Friday evening, at Town
Hall, and were well pleased by the
performances of Mrs. Brack and class.
The ease with which the young la
dies presided at the piano and organ
evinced a thoroughness, or proficien
cy, in this great science. Some of
the songs were beautiful, yea, heart
ravishing, to quote the expression of
some immortal poet —and we can
safely say the audience was perfect
ly delighted. The songs, “ Gypsy
Countess,” “Gypsy’s Warning,”
“Oh, Johnny, etc.,” Little Brown
Jug,” “ Why do theS\. allows Change
their Home,” were well sung. The
“ Mocking Bird, Variations,” was
excentiy rendered. The tableaux,
two in number, “ The Youth of our
Day,” and “ Faith, Hope and Chari
ty,” were indeed excellent, well
representing the subjects of the same.
The audience was large and intelli
gent, comprising some of our best
citizens, and chief of all, many pretty
young ladies. All went away per
fectly satisfied, and doubtless think
ing “ it was good to be there.”
REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
The undersigned were selected by
Mrs. Braim to examine, on Thurs
day last, the classes in her Female
School. All of the classes in the
School were not examined, owing to
a lack of time; but time sufficient
was given to secure, and we were
pressed earnestly to make, a thorough
examination of the classes placed be
fore us.
It has seldom been our privilege to
witness an examination so satisfacto
ry as this one proved. The pupils
seemed to appreciate the importance
of being familiar with the details and
principles of their various studies,
and to be impressed with the con
viction that what has been done by
pupils can be done again. The an
swers to questions were generally
very prompt and correct. Some of
the classes did remarkably well, and
the whole examination was credita
ble to both teacher and pujffls.

Cartersville, June 20,1872.
Accident. —Our young friend, Jo
el Conyers, met with quite a serious
accident, we learn, as he was return
ing home from town on last Sunday.
He was in his buggy accompanied by
a young lady, when, a short distance
from town, his horse became fright
ened, and ran against a bank. Mr.
Conyers was thrown out of the buggy
and seriously but not dangerously
iujured. The young lady remained
in the buggy until the horse was stop
ped by a freedman, and escaped with
out injury.
Rowland’s ferry street is in a bad
condition for pedestriaus, equestrians
and for all others who travel in that
direction. A man driving a horse at
tached to a buggy, with two little
children in charge, was thrown out
the other day, by running into one of
the numerous pits in the street. We
merely call attention to this matter,
and consider comments unecessary.
A New Departure.— We saw
four new buggies leave Gower, Jones
& Co’s Carriage Shop, one day last
week, for Cedartown and Rome.
The buggy business is no hum
bug, it seems.
Crops. —The crop news from all
quarters is favorable up to this time.
From present indications we are led
to conclude that this is to be a year
of plenty. It is not certain, however,
that the corn crop in this section
will be a success, for a drouth from
this time on would prove most dis
astrous.
“ There’s many a slip,
’Twixt the cup and lip,”
has a special application to the busi
ness of farming.
Interesting Specimens.— Our
accomplished and enterprising friend,
Francis Fontaine, Esqr., of this coun
ty, left at our office last week quite
an interesting variety of specimens of
cereals and grasses grown on his
farm. Included in this collection
are Orchard, Timothy, Herds and
Hungarian grass, Millet, Wheat, (the
longest heads we have seen,) Barley
and Rye. Also, Wild Barley and
Wild Rye. We agree with Mr. Fon
taine in thinking that these speci
mens demonstrate that Bartow coun
ty is a grass, as well as a grain and
cotton country. We hope he will
often favor us with the results of his
interesting experiments.
The Rev. Geo. G. Smith, of Mari
etta, delivered a temperance lecture,
at the town Hall, in this place, on
Tuesday evening last. We will no
tice the lecture more fully in our
next.
Our town seems to be exceedingly
healthy at this time. Wehaveheard
of no serious case of sickness for sev
eral days. Some of the children have
whooping cough, but itdoes not seem
to hurt them much. There is no
blessing to be compared to health, and
we have as healthy a town as any
that we know of.
Farmers must have fences, and of
ten wish to change them—sometimes
to fence off a grazing lot, or make pens
for cows, horses, hogs or sheep, and
for such purposes, a good portable
fence is of great val ue. Please exam
ine a few pannels near the depot at
Cartersville.

Sleep! little Jessie, sleep!
Not in thy cradle bed;
Not on thy mother’s breast,
But with the quiet dead.
; Sleep soft in death, and wait thy Redeemer’s
will,
Then rise unchanged, and bo an angel still.
Mb. J. Carter, an artist, will
pitch his tent near the Bartow House,
in this place, on Friday next, for the
purpose of taking Ferreotypes. From
specimens shown us at this office, he
is an adept at the business. He works
at city prices. If our citizens wish a
good thing in the way of a picture,
they will now have a chance to get it.
Mr. Carter will not remain long with
us, so those who wish to patronize a
first-class artist had better go early.

CHEROKEE COUNTY NEWS.
Benjamin F. Payne of Chero
kee County. —We notice in last
week’s issue of the Middle Georgian,
an account of a debate between some
of the students of the State university,
in which discussion our talented
young friand, Ben Payne of Chero
kee county took a prominent part.
The question was: “ Was the execu
tion of Mary Queen of Scotts justifia
ble?” The reporter says, “Next
came Mr. B. F. Payne, of Marietta,
on the negative, with a very fine
I speech, manifesting much thought
and a thorough knowledge of the
subject.” We are pleased to hear so
favorable an account of one of our
Cherokee boys, but protest against
locating his home in Marietta, for
| Trickum and not Marietta is entitled
|to the honor; for Ben was born and
; raised at the former place, and is the
son of hi s father, Dr. D. H. Payne,
j who is one of the best citizens of that
! pretty lit tle village. We are willing,
(since the newspapers insist upon it,
’ in spite of our repeated assertions to
j the contrary,) that Cobb may have the
honor of Bullock’s barn, but we are
not willing that she shall claim one of j
Cherokee’s brightest sons, who bids
fair to be worth more to the country
than Bullock, his barn and all the
friends he ever had put together.
CHEROKEE COUNTY SKETCHES.
NO. VIII.
Among the first settlers of Chero
kee county, we mention Maj. John
McConnell, who lived in the neigh
borhood of Hickory Flatt; his sons,
Gen’l Eli and Henry, who were en
gaged in trading with the Indians;
John B. Garrison, who we believe
was employed in a similar manner;
the Evanses, Wm. H., Thos. J., and
Phillip J.—the two last named are
still living in the Little River neigh
borhood, where they settled when
the Indians were in possession of the
county; Noble P. Beall, who lived
at the Sixes gold mine and sold
goods; Wm. May, who lived at the
same place; the Hillhouses, and
others, whom we have not time to
mention now.
There wsis a Jew, named Solomon,
who, in those early times, sold goods
in the wilds of the county, not far
from the place which is now called
Freeman’s Mills. Someone went to
his store early one morning and found
him lying on his floor, weltering in
his blood. He had been brutally
murdered on the previous night, and
robbed of his money. The horrible
affair created a good deal of excite
ment, but no clue was ever found to
the shocking deed.
As we have before intimated, Maj.
John McConnell was for many years
one of the most prominent and useful
citizens of the county. At all the
public meetings it was generally un
derstood that Maj. McConnell was
to be the chairman. He was a large
man, possessed a fine appearance,
and presided with dignity. He, to
gether with our friends, Cols. E. E.
Field and Wm. A. Teasley, were
delegates to the convention in* 1860
which voted Georgia out of the
Union. In justice, however, to the
county be it said that they were in
structed to favor what was known as
the “ co-operation” policy, and that
was the policy advocated by them on
that memorabie occasion.
Maj. McConnell was a consistent
member of the Presbyterian church,
and died at an advanced age, soon
after the war, lamented by a large
circle of relatives and friends. He
had eight sons, all of whom are still
living except two; and what is some
what remarkable, they average con
siderably over two hundred pounds
in weight. Several of them would
now pull down two hundred and
fifty pounds, we suppose. Gen’l Eli
McConnell, the Major’s eldest son,
was a very prominent and influential
citizen of the county. He was a man
of fine practical sense, a skillful me
chanic, and a useful man in many re
spects. More than once lie repre
sented the county in the Legislature
of the State, and discharged the du
ties of that position with fidelity.
He was for several years the efficient
Superintendent of the Georgia Pen
itentiary ; and in all the relations
of life, public and private, honesty
and integrity were the characteristics
which govered his conduct. He was
a zealous member of the Methodist
church, and died some time before the
war, much respected by all that knew
him.
Joseph McConnell, Esqr., a brother
of the above, was likewise one of our
best and most substantial citizens.
He was six feet and a half high, and
his frame was large and strong. He
was a man of good, sound, deliberate
sense, and we always regarded his
opinions upon most of subjects as
being as nearly correct as any man’s
we ever knew; and often have sought
his advice and enjoyed his friendly
counsels. Many pleasant hours have
we spent at his delightful home, and
when with him and his kind family
we always felt that we were among
our best friends. His wife was one of
the best women we ever knew. Sev
eral years ago, in holy triumph she
passed from earth to the Christian’s
home in Heaven.
Our friend, Joseph McConnell, was
captured by the Yankees near his
home, in 1861, carried to a Northern
prison and literally starved to death.
He was released just before the sur
render, an emaciated wreck of what
he had been. After reaching home,
he lingered with his family and
friends for a few days, and his kind
and noble spirit passed away to that
city above “ whose inhabitants shall
not say, I am sick ;” where the voice
of the oppressor shall never be heard,
and where there shall be no more
war. For many years he had been
an efficient member of the Methodist
church, and was always regarded as
one of our very best men. He was
one of our confidential' friends. Oft
did we take “sweet counsel together
and walk to the house of God in
company,” and our heart is sad when
we think that we shall see him on
on earth no more.
Note. —ln the “ sketch” we pub
lished last week, we inadvertently
said that Jabez Galt was a brother
in-law of Dr. Lewis. The latter was
Mrs. Galt’s nephew.
Look out for Us!—ln a short
time we expect to visit our friends in
Cherokee, for the purpose of solicit
ing subscribers for our paper, as we
want every man in the county to
take it, and hope to give every one
a chance to subscribe for as good a
paper as can be found in the State,
as many of our friends declare it to
be. And those who are in arrears
for the paper will please pay us when
they see us, if they can. That’s fair,
ain’t it?

A Pitiful Condition.
It is a sad thing to pass through life onlv 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. Iu nine cases out of ten this suite ot lassi
tude and torpor arises from a morbid stomach.
Indigestion destroy* 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 degression? The sys
tem needs rousing and strengthening; not
merely for an hour or two, to sink afterward
into a more pitiable condition than ever (as it
assuredly would do if an ordinary alcoholic
stimulant were resorted to,) but radically and
permanently.
llow is this desirable object to bo accom
plished? The answer to this question, founded
on the unvarying experience of a quarter of a
century, is easily given. Infuse new vigor in
to the digestive organs by a course of Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters. Do not waste time by
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
be created, and with appetite the 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 imperfectly
nourished. __ 6-6—4 t.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
Flavoring Extracts arc of primary impor
tance in cookery; and of all articles ot this de
scription the highly concentrated Standard
Extracts, prepared by Joseph Burnett A Cos.,
Boston, are pronounced by leading cuisiniers—
Professor Blott among the number—the purest
and best.
Human Wreck.—Every day and hour we
meet with broken down specimens of humani
ty-wrecks that seem past hope of salvage. At
least seven-eights of these might he filled with
new vitality, by a course of Dr. Walker’s Cali
fornia Vinegar Bitters. Many are suffering
from the reaction of rum-poluted bitters or
powerful minerals. It is characteristic of Dr.
Walker’s Great Restorative that it neutralizes
the effect of these miscalled remedies, and ac
complishes, iu due time, a perfect cure.
Nature Gives us Teeth, but she does not
preserve and purify them. That must he done
with Fragrant Sozodont. The dental hone and
its enamel easing are made invulnerable to all
destructive influences by the daily use of this
beuefleent preparation.

Pratt’s Astral Oil.—More accidents occur
from using unsafe oils, that from steamboats
and railroads combined. Over 200,000 families
continue to burn Pratt’s Astral Oil, and no ac
cidents directly or indirectly have occurred
from burning, storing or handling it. Oil

The People’s Stamp of Value.—The Gov
ernment endorsement, which legalizes the sale
of Plantation Bitters, is not the only stamp
affixed to that famous Vegetable Tonic. It
bears in addition to that official sanction, the
still mo'-e valuable stamp of public approba
tion. This inestimable voucher of its rare
properties a Tonic Corrective and Alterative, is
of much earlier date than the Government cre
dential; for millions of sick persons had pro
nounced it the Grand Specific of the ago long
before Congress thought of taxing proprietary
medicines. It is unnecessary to repeat, in de
tail, the properties of this wonderful Vegetable
Invigorant. The best reference that can he of
fered to those who desire the full particulars of
its virtues, is the General Public. Ask those
who have tried it is as a remedy for dyspepsia,
constipation, billiousness, intermittent fevers,
nervous debility, rheumatism, sea sickness, low
spirits, or loss of vital power, what Plantation
bitters has done for them, and be governed by
the response they make to your inquiries.
A preparation so widely and favorably known
as Hall s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer,
needs lew words of praise from us. This com
pound has won its way to the highest favor in
the publie mind; and multitudes, who have
vainfy used other remedies for the restoration
ol their hair, have, on trying the Sicilian Re
newer. been made glad by the speedy restora
tion of their gray hair to its natural color, and
the thin locks thickened lip, as in the days of
early youth. It also prevents the hair falling
out, makes it soft ana glossy, and is altogether
the best preparation for its intended purposes
before the public.—l’ittshurg Chronicle.
A Healthy Digestion.
