Whitman, of the Dalton Citizen,
has been up in Tennessee, attending
a golden wedding.
North Georgia is becoming re
markable for late, dry, and pleasant
falls —autumns, we mean.
Judge Perino Brown and his lady,
of Atlanta, celebrated their silver
wedding on the 4th instant.
An Indiana father last Thursday
cut the throat of one or two of his

The Advocate will appear in due

Only twenty-eight families are
using water from the pipes in At

We trust our young men will not
allow themselves to be overcome
with the Florida “fever,” by read
ing the interesting letters which we
are now printing descriptive of the
climate, productions, manners, and
customs of that country.
The Constitution says Willingham
is coming to Cartersville to print a
paper. We don’t believe it. Wil
lingham has more sense than to
come here to run an organ for a
speculating ring. The people would
not like it. Willingham will change
his mind.
Some New York bloods have or
ganized a fox hunting club, with a
capital of $10,00(>. They will tally-ho
on Long Island, and have already
paid SBOO for a pack of fox-hounds of
Irish descent, trained in Virginia.
—Ex.
Better stay at home, and let that
money go toward alleviating the
miseries of the thousands of widows
and orphans in their midst.
We feel very much encouraged by
the sympathy of our friends, and
promise them not to relax our efforts
to give them a number one family
paper. We give you an array of in
teresting local matter to-day not to
be found in any other paper in the
State of Georgia, and we will keep
it up, too. All we ask is your two
dollars to help us pay our way.
The Master in Chancery, to whom
was referred at the last term of the
Circuit Court of the United Stahls
the matters in controversy between
Clews & Cos. and the Cartersville and
Van Wert Railroad, as to the lia
bility of the latter to the former on
account of bonds of the latter and
money advanced for construction of
the road, reported $57,431 70 due
Clews & Cos. Exceptions were taken
to it, and on the 80th ult. Judge
\\ oods rendered a decision sustaining
the report.
From the manner in which our
daily papers make up their election
news, it is difficult to understand ex
actly the result. We comprehend,
however, that the race has been hotly
contested and very close—Democracy
gaining in some States, while the
Radical vote was increased in others.
Mississippi claims to have achieved
a complete and overwhelming vic
tory over the carpet-baggers and nig
gers, and for that we feel thankful.
Glorious old state! Come forth as a
brand from the burning —like gold

The La Grange Reporter says that
Mr. Joseph Rutledge, who is farm
ing for Col. F. A. Frost, has raised
some remarkable corn, a sialk of
which is on exhibition at Col. T rost’s
store. Out of every joint grows a
root or branch, and on the end of
each branch is a good-sized, well
developed ear of corn—not a “ nub
bin.” There are eight joints on the
stalk, and consequently eight branch
es and eight ears. The ears on the
bottom branches are the smallest,
and they increase iu size towards
the top—the highest ears being the
largest. This corn was raised by ac
cident. The seed was in a sack of
common Western, and there are only
four stalks of this remarkable growth.
—Dalton Citizen.
Mr. Law, of this county, raised
some corn this year, on Mr. R. a.
Clayton’s field, quite an area of it,
that produced from three to five ears
to the stalk. We made mention of
it before—two stalks of which were
brought to this office, in September.
We speak of it again to say that it
does not pan out as was expected.
Mr. Clayton says it not “ fili up”
near as fast as the o id-fashioned
gouid-secd, where only one and two
ears to the stalk are raised. On*
farmers should be cautious bow they
experiment with new-fangled seed.
GKO. R. ROWELL & CO.
Notwithstanding we have denounc
ed them, by letter and in print, as
swindlers and thieves, and declined
to treat with them underany circum
stances whatever, George P. Rowell
& Cos., the great newspaper buzzards,
are still sending us propositions.
They print a book every year, con
taining a list of the newspapers pub
lished in the United States, and want
us to advertise the Standard &
Express in it. The book is a fraud,
and not in the least reliable as to the
circulation of the papers enumerated,
and in more than one instance we
know of them having to correct fig
ures and apologize. Like its pub
lishers, the book is a swindle and
deception.
Mr. M. J. Jones, a large and suc
cessful planter, because he farms on
the correct principle, says he has
three acres of land on his place which
will yield about six bales of cotton.
He has choice land, and has on it a
better crop than for four or live years.
He lives near Society Hiil, in Macon
county. Mr. Jones’ smoke-houses
and corn-cribs are not located in
Louisville, Cincinnati or St. Louis.
This yield of cotton is a very heavy
one, but what Mr. J. says is truth.—
Columbus Sun.
There is no question but scientific
farming pays tlm best. Observe the
world over, and you will everywhere
and in every instance find that men
who farm upon scientific principles
(and not as their forefathers did, who
went to mill with meal in one end of
the sack, with a rock of equal weight
in the other,) are always prosperous.
In every instance, their families are
intelligent, well fed and clad, and
comfortable.
SOUTH FLORIDA.
Fir 1 11 LETTER.
Editors Standard & Express:
The town is in direct communica
tion with New Orleans by means of
steamer Emily, connecting with
N. O. steamers at Cedar Keys, and
with Key West and Havana, by
means of the Valley City, the U. S.
mail boat. It lias also, belonging to
Miller & Henderson, two large
schooners, plying directly between
Tampa and New Orleans. During
the fall and winter many smaller
craft visit the town, trading. It is
unquestionably healthy, though it is
liable to have yellow fever whenever
they have it at Key West. It is des
tined to become the largest town in
tlie State; it has, and can have, no
rival. Its harbor is second only to
Pensacola, and it is backed by much
the best country in Southern Florida.
It wiil grow in spite of its want of
energy and public spirit, but solely
on account of its location. The same
want of energy would have killed
any other place long ago.
The Wednesday following my ar
rival at Tampa, found me on the
road to the Alalia river—a stream
(as perhaps I have already said) run
ning into Tampa bay from the east,
ten miles south of Tampa. I was
advised by Dr. Wall, of Tampa, in
selecting a location, to bear in mind
that the immense rain fall of South
ern Florida, averaging 48 inches, and
principally falling in the three sum
mer months, would necessitate quite
a rolling country, to afford sufficient
drainage for perfect heal th. I reached
the river about noon, and crossed it
five miles from its mouth.
At this point and for five miles
above to the shoals, the tide runs,
and for the same distance it has a
breadth of about lf>o yards, and an
average depth, except on the bar at
its mouth, of 10 feet. The river is
perfectly free from bittern, as it has
its source from springs as well as
from marsh, except when it is under
the influence of salt water. I liked
the appearance of the country, the
high banks of the river and its depth
affording promise of navigation, and
the back country seeming sufficiently
high for drainage. I thought best,
however, to look more closely, as
there was plenty of time and no
strangers looking for land, (but my
self and companion) and plenty of
good land. I made anangements
for boarding with Mr. Moody, a
merchant on the river, and determ
ined to examine the country thor
oughly. This I did, in company
with Capt. L. G. Leslie, a very estim
able man, and a preacher, in the
Methodist connection, for the past
35 years.
I considered myself fortunate in
making his acquaintance, for besides
the pleasure of his company, and the
bond of the “ household of faith”
between us, his extensive and accu
rate knowledge of the whole State,
derived from his participation in all
the Indian wars of the State since its
settlement almost, was of great ser
vice to me. We traversed, on horse
back, both banks of the river from
its mouth 20 miles in the interior.
I found much desirable land and
much beautiful, undulating country,
as well as some large and highly im
proved farms, but all away from tide
water, and consequently requiring
that great drawback to profitable
farming, viz: wagoning to market.
Some, however, of the most success*
lui tanners hauled over 20 miles to
market. A thorough examination
ol the whole country along the Alalia
satisfied me. J determined to locate
there, and on the tid vi part of it, on
account of transportation, although
I saw much better land, and equally
healthy, further off. After looking
carefully at all the good laud, 1 made
my location six miles from the bay,
on the south side of the river, at the
mouth of Rice’s creek, entering, by
homestead entry, 160 acres of land, j
and comprising about 35 acres of
bottom or hammock land, balance
prairie. Becoming a land owner and
in the woods, necessitated work. 7 j
made arrangements at once for a j
house, clearing land, fencing it, j
planting potatoes, rice, etc. For my
own part, I borrowed a grubbing
hoe, and did faithful work among j
the palmetto roots. I planted 100
orange trees In the woods, girdling
the pines to cause their death. My
friend Capt. Leslie gave me as many
banana plants as I wished, most of
which I lugged on my back two
miles; on one occasion carrying
about 150 pounds at a load. (They
seemed to weigh a ton before I got
them where I wanted them). I
planted also a few lemons, shaddocks,
and a quantity of guava seed. In
other words, I did all the work pos
sible in the short time I was able to
stay, so as to have something to begin
on, when Igo back this fall. My
time having expired, I turned my
face homeward about the middle of |
August.
When I readied Tampa, I found
boats were not running, Uie port
being quarantined on account of yel
low fever at Key West. I was
obliged, therefore, to take stage from
Tampa to Gainesville, 175 miles. At
first I was tempted rather to hire a
sail boat, but reflecting that the trip
by stage would enable me to see
| more of the country, I concluded to
take that route, and was very well
repaid, as I found there was no night
traveling and the rate slow. The
line, for 100 miles, runs nearly par
allel with the Gulf coast, and from
15 to 40 miles from it, diverging at
Sumpterville. The country is all
high, and, in places, showing very
considerable hills. The greater part
of the route is pine land, of every
grade of fertility. I might say the
whole route, for I do not think I
passed through three miles of ham
mock in the whole trip. Except in
certain localities the country, judging
from lack of houses on the road, is
very thinly settled. There are, how
ever, very large and wealthy com
munities around the lakes, and much
i good land (hammock) in Hernando
• and Marion counties, some of them
containing as much as 50,000 acres of
land. As the road did not pass near
them, I cannot speak of them from
personal knowledge. Near Gaines
ville is Payne’s prairie, a body of low
land, treeless, and covered, for the
most part, with water and flags,
snakes and alligators. I regret I
cannot give a fuller description of it,
but I saw it under difficulties—thus
—near Micanopy, 18 miles from
f4ni npevi Up, thin front whool of the
stage broke down. I had to be at
Gainesville that night on particular
business. No buggy, wagon or saddle
could be obtained. The only chance
was to ride a stage mule, and bare
backed. He was as poor as mules
can sometimes be, with a trot like a
dromedary► I made the trip on him,
and I leave it to a discerning public
to judge how much I saw of Payne’s
; prairie. K.
TIIE CHERCSEE RAILROAD CASE.
Henry Clews & Co.’s Claim for @167,431.70
Sustained.
[From the Atlanta Constitution, Nov. 3.]
Yesterday morning, in the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, the opinion of
the Court in the matter of the excep
tions taken by the defendant to the
report made by Logan E. Bleckley,
Master in Chancery, in the case of
Henry Clews & Cos. vs. John W.
Wofford et at., was delivered by
Judge Win. B. Woods.
HISTORY OF TIIE PROCEEDING.
On the 10th day of June, 1873, the
complainant and the Cherokee Rail
road Company, by their solicitors,
entered into an agreement which was
made the order of the Court by
which said parties agreed to refer the
whole matter to Logan E. Bleckley,
Esq., as a Master in Chancery, with
power to hear and adjudicate the
same, and to report to the next term
of said court, liis findings thereon,
as to the liability of said railroad
company to Henry Clews & Cos., on
account of the bonds rtf the Carters
ville and Van Wert Railroad Com
pany, or for money advanced for the
construction of said company’s road.
The Master made and filed his re
port, in which he states the conclu
sion that there is due to Clews <fc Cos.
the sum of $107,431 70, with interest
thereon from October 5, 1870, at 7
per cent, per annum.
The defendant filed nineteen ex
ceptions to the Master’s report, which
the Court reduced to their last ele
ments, as follows: First, that the
report is imperfect in hot having
passed upon all the issues submitted
to the Master; and, second, that the
findings of the Master are not sup
ported by the law and the evidence.
The Court, in its opinion, proceeds
to sketch the history of the railroad
and the transactions from which the
controversy arose. The Judge then
fuliy discusses all the points raised
in the case, and decides that the
Master has doneall that was required
of him, and that the findings are
correct. By this decision the excep
tions are overruled, and
CLEWS AND CO. GAIN
their claim against the railroad com
pany, to the amount above named,
with the interest stated.
