THI'KSUAY MORNING, MARCH *'■!, IS7I.
Good-bye.
Good-bye Brother Boulwell, good-bye,
we are sorry to j'urt with you at the com
mencement of the returning board ad
ministration. You have waded like a
dog in tall oats a long time, but cut down
■ike a humming muskeetcr, when a bull
liat shoots him on the wing in the soft
Bummer twilight, and your place will be
Si tilled by Hoar in the Li. S. Senate.
Kle great trouble with you brother Bout-
Tvell, was, that you have looked ft r rocks
so long to put in coffee when you kept a
f family gropery at Groton, Mass., that you
can't nevAr. when you go to Plymouth
Rock, look higher than the top of the
rock. My dear good Mr. 8., if you could
only have climbed up to the top of that
rock, and looked out all 07er the country
that our fathers went from the South to
Bunker hill to fight for, but you didn't,
and wo are afraid you couldn't. You are
like us, education could not expand your
mind, and if you had tried to look, it
would have been through a ten cent
telescope.
Our Poor Country.
We are glad there i- t tiiu. coming
when the Bads will eoa e t" trouble us,
and Rebels will be at r- .; We envy the
brave boys who -.* ■■■■A : V--*, with us in
our youth, and ; lied ano pra sir. and fiiw
with u> in our young manhood. They
went forth at duty's call, to die in defence
of their native land, and are silently
sleeping, sweetly sleeping, where they
fell with their feet to the foe, and their
eyes to heaven. Where they are, Radi
calism doth not corrupt, nor Returning
Boards break not through and steal. We
ought as a people, go to their graves this
year in solid column —wherever we can
find a soldier’s grave who wore the Gr .y
—and decorate them with flowers and
evergreens, even if we have never done so
before, 'l'heir'sisa happy fate compared
with ours, who are left to weep over the
destruction of the liberty bought with the
blood of our anoestois. May God of
heaven, who rules over the destinies of
men and nations, have pity ou us, ami
rebuke the consi'crateil //- that now
Telephone
Yes, that's it, the biggest thing on
wheels. You take two oystercans, punch
holes in the ends of said cans, tic a string
in them, stretch it out, poke in your
mouth and talk to your friend at the other
end of the rope, and you can hear dis
tinctly everything that is said several
yards, if the string does not
Koucb anything.
We have one in LaFayette, and it is a
success. A young lady asked a Metho
dist preacher who he voted for in the late
election, and he wilted at a distance of
! three hundred yards.
Lp in the land of great moral ideas,
where the sun rises and shines for the
sole purpose of gilding with his golden
rays the bald head of Plymouth rock,
they have applied the principle to the
telegraph wires, and recently an audience
iu Salem, eighteen miles from Boston —
that great city, the mother of Returning
Board—distinctly heard a gentleman sing
“Hold the fort,” and the Boston fellows
fc hea and a lecture on the subject of tele
phone' that was then being delivered in
Salem Since that time it has been ex
tended. and the human voice ha' been
heard one hundred and forty-three miles
with a prospect that, at no distant day. a
man may stand on * lie bi k' of fh: Atoos
.took river in Maine, and his tnolfi-’i
Bn.law in San Hiego, (Vj.it > ":i.

Ur. Hunt s'. 1/ in > <■:>'*'. nicer! at
LaFayette that good old song “Brien
where did you come from;” or Josephus
Adolphus talking to Samantha Juno
about flowers and rich, as they wander
along the hanks of Indian river in Florida;
or Brigham Young consulting Ann Eliza
about the next woman, whom ho sho ild
add to his list of wives, and she, in her
turn, threatening him across the conti
nent to sue out a divorce if he did not
coincide with her wishes on the subject.
By all means give us a telephone, an 1 such
lively times we'll have, as never was.
We understand that the boys are hav
ing a good deal of fun over at Lebanon,
r "' y., about anew patent auger. A young
gentleman went over there to court, and
bored the judge, the bar, the jurors and
the guests at the hotels, and then went
hack to Gadsden, and is still down with
the same complaint. And now the boys
are going to put handles on him, ®PPb'
ifr;,,,- a patent, and go to boring in Wills
■allev for oil, and they say that, “if they
■on't strike ile, that they will have gas
■nougli to light two towns arid a crave-
Cincinnati Southern Railroad.
We recently conversed with a gentle
man who travels extensively over the
finished part of the above road, who tells
us that it is the best constructed, and
the liest equipped railroad in the Lnitcd
States. All that science, money and j
skilled work can do, has been done to j
make it the best road in the country. It
will not be many months before it will he
finished to Chattouooga. Are our people
making any arrangements to have it ex
tended down this way? Chattanooga is
not its natural terminus. We think it
ought to he extended to Brunswick, the
only port except l'ort Royal, that the
cotton States has on the Atlantic coast,
where large ships can enter and load at
wharves with products of the west and
South.
We ought to have energetic men at
work now, to get this road put through
Walker and Chattooga counties to R,.ine
or Cave Spring, and from there on to
Columbus and the far South. This road
is a public necessity to the people of these
Tallies. It is, and always will he impos
sible to do anything with the iron ore
that covers our hills and mountains, and
the coal beds in Lookout mountain, with
out railroads to transport it to market.
It is a melancholy fact, that we have
many thousands of acres of lands in the
two counties of Walker and Clia'tooga,
that are comparatively worthless hero,
and il -fi me lands were in Pennsylvania
of Oh. they w old be worth millions of
doilai \ 1.;. ■ thus? B rati owe
have no True i'- :l ition; because \i as"
out of the world, so to speak, and an j
cou touted . ■ live and cultivate the. ton!’ 1 j
land . t* and let llie •>:and
coal lie hue, we are lacking in energy, j
enterpri a:. 1 • money. We ni" 1 money j
unis; ol ah, hut we need a few more men j
like Judge Allgood; men who can cniiquci j
difficulties, and triumph over hard times
and misfortunes.
This Is the most healthy, the best !
watered and fertile region in the cotton j
States east of the Mississippi river Our |
scenery is superb, and mountain dim o
unequaled, and our so:! a> fertile as heart
could wish, if the people would only take
care of it; and yet with all this, wc are
plodding along in the old ruts, doing
nothing to induce capitalists to come here
to spend their money and build up the
country. We are doing nothing to adver
tise the fact that Lookout mountain
seems to he a coal bed, from the Ten
nessee river to the Coosa at Gadsden,
and that Dirtseller mountain, in Chat
tooga, is a mass of the best iron ore in the
world; and that we have thousands of
acres of lime rock everywhere, as good as
it is anywhere in the world ; and that we
have many thousands of acres of land on
Lookout mountain, that is unequaled for
the production of grapes of the finest
quality, and the most remaikablo feature
of all is, that grapes never rot on Lookout,
and still with all these advantages the
people of the Northeastern part of the
State living in a poor granite, hilly coun-
J try, are ahead of us in building railroads,
and pushing business enterprise in every
I direction.
Friends! let us awake from this Rip
Van Winkle sleep, and if we are poor, let
us try to he peaut. Let us hold up our
heads and try to look up at the sky, and
see if there is not something bigger, and
better in life than to be trying always to
sink a twenty-five cent shinplustcr in the
bottom of an old hair trunk.
A railroad to LaFayette, Trioti and
j Summerville, would he a big thing, a good
i thing, and a great thing, a thing to he
| hoped for, to be winked for, and to he
: prayed for- Will you work for it lor will
; you hold up the hands of a poor man to
1 work? We doubt it capitally, hut we
j shall sec what we will see.
There arc somethings in this world that
jwe n't see into, in fact there are many
V instance, we can t see why
.. u.uii : hnu! i ... ‘ • a few acres ni clover,
is: ;.r ii -mind around the field with a
’si t cm., ready 'o shoot his best milch
. cow il'ii should see her getting a mouth
fill - clov( r. Tic jt j -on v, h
i at• t into this, i'. tlmr wt- have I ecu
, badi v cdu.: ited, and worse bio iglit up.
Away back in tlie sunny day • ni our
i childhood, when our golden hair had a
more corn-silky appearance than it has
now, since age and trouble have changed
it, we used to read of clover field-, and
see picture-books that had large fat cows
in them up to their eyes in clover, and
I beautiful calves leaping a,, d frisking about
in the fields like Cain and Abel did in the
Garden of Paradise, the second week after
they got over the measels. But alas! this
| was all a fraud practiced on the credulity
of our childhood, this clover, and picture
and cow, and we feel sail to find out that
so much sentiment and beauty should
have been wasted, and that our teaching
was all humbug, and that we have to
learn life's lesson over again, and that
the poor cow has to flee to the mountain
to seek a little grass, and to hide herself
from the wrath to come, if she is found
dealing in illicit clover.
We also used to read about the farmers
of western Pennsylvania broadcasting
their stubble fields with, from fifty to
seventy-five bushels of lime every year,
god then plowing it in, with plows that
would go in, and that the fields seemed to
smile at such treatment; in fact, they
would rejoice with a great and exceeding
joyousness, and then givo hack in return
great armfulls of golden grain.
But this reason was all another con
secrated fraud, because we never saw but
one man put lime on his land, and the
neighbors said he was a fool.
We saw a man painting a house one
time It was an old house, and the
neighbors said that they “could not see
any reason in wasting money painting a
house that had boon painted; and they
knowed that that house had, because
they were there twenty years ago when
it was built, and they seed the man put
ting it on, and that when they had any
money to spend that way, they would go
to town and buy whiskey, and get the
good of it.”

In looking around for men to represent
the people in the Constitutional eonven- j
tion, we would like to see John \V• 11. j
Underwood, A U. Wright and Col. ,). 1.
Wright, of Floyd, Col. Warren Aiken, j
Col. Tom Milner and General .'I B.
Young of Bartow, and men of like caliber,
composing said convention. Wo. want
men in the convention, men of brain mid
nerve, men who knowing what to do, will
dare to do it. We don’t want any hum
hug about moving the eapitol hack to
Milledgeville It is at the right place
now, let it stay-
Poor Logan.
Sometime ago we exclaim 'd in our un
sophisticated innocence, “who is leit to
m Mini for Logan?” It seetus that it
don't matter whether anybody mourns for
him much or not. Logan will get along
\. r> well under a returning hoard govern
ment, without any mourning for him.

Drs. Farris, limit and two more M.
D.s. went out on tne mountain last week
and cut a cancerous tumor from oft a
lady's breast. At last accounts she was
doing well.
Rev. E. B. Reese, preacher in charge
of Suhligna Giroui' , has moved into the
par.-omige; recently purchased. Wc trust,
he may have great success in his Master's
vineyard, as it is white unto the harvest.
The editor of a Dalton paper recently
ate a mess of bacon and cahha re for sup
per, and dreamed of blonde angels with
reil hair, blue wings, and liver-colored
stockings. We wonder what kind of
weather this prognosticates.
Wc sympathize with Mr. anil Mrs.
John Jennings, of McLemore’s Cove, in
the death nf their twin babies, aged eight
months. They died of pneumonia 20th
and '2lth of February, arid were hurled in
the same coffin and grave. The Lord
gave arid the Lord hath taken away.
Verily we are living in a fast age, and
I In the midst of exciting events, and if wc
could get the Cincinnati Southern rail
roaii extended to Rome, or Cave Spring,

sleeted to office that wants to he, then we
think we all might he reasonably happy,
anything to the contrary not with.- landing.
Wc recently heard his Honor, Judge
C'iderwood. call a ease in which he said
J. Madison, and then much to ou” disgust
' added, Jones. Now if he had only said
Weils, we would have been happy for
; once; we should have volunteered in that
l ca--e. and before a jury in Chattooga,
H ■ :1s would have got justice.
Mr. Simmons, one of our citizens who
j had a cancer on his mouth, has lately had
•i painful operation performed, arid is now
about well. We are glad to see his mouth
well. We have a very had mouth ourself
when we get a dirty case in court, and if it
should be'ome cancerous, we are afraid
we should go up as high as Beecher’s life
of the Savior.
Died, of consumption, in MeLeuiore’s
Cove the 18th inst., Miss Mary, daughter
of Mr. Mark Burton, in the 25th year of
her age. For three long years she was a
sufferer from the disease which ended her
days. But confiding in life, in the merits
of her Savior, when the final hour arrived,
she sweetly fell asleep in Jesus, in pros
pect. if a home iu heaven.
We learn that Mr. Augustus It. Mo-
Cntcheon, State .Mineralogist, has rented
Mr. Judson Clements' dwelling house at
this place, and is permanently located for
the year. We are glad to note the arrival
of any gentleman in LaFayette, who
comes to stay. Wo need a few more of
his sort. We would he charmed to make
his acquaintance, uml go on a rock break
ing expedition with him sometime.
Our old friend Brazier Moore, Esq , of
Trion, has lately returned from a trip to
Sand Mountain. We understand he went
principally to find out. whether the pro
ductions were rocks or sand. Wo hope
it won’t he many months before he takes
unto himself a blooming bride, and that
she will hind him with hooks of steel to
the organized Democracy, and that all
the future days of his life will he like a
summer day in Eden.
We are pleased to see tin genial face
of our friend, Mr. McAllister, who has
moved up from Trion to this place for
the purpose of carrying on the tin busi
ness. We hope Me. will have plenty of
work, and do well here. We need his
sort. Working men are in demand, and
though times are so hard that some can
not get employment, wo hopo all will
manage to make both ends meet, until a
sea change comes over these times, so new
and strange.
We saw a man one time, who had built
his lot and stables on the brow of a hill,
and we asked him, “what for?" and he
slid, “so that the rain could wash the
mud and manure out down to the branch,
and leave the lo f clean. ” And we said
•‘bully for you old-fuller. In the days to
come your sons will go to town to clerk
in a barroom, or to stand around a saloon
and wait until a candidate comes along,
and says come up hoys, and take some
thing.”
We again ask all our friends to send ui
the news, and we want them to firing us
specimens of iron ore, coal, and anything
else of the kind they ran find. Also, any
old Indian iclics that they may pick up.
Wc would like to hear about any natural
curiosities in the county, so that we may
visit them and report. \\ u want t he

I)r. D. (’. Farris, of our village, has
lately moved into a fine new mansion
which he lias just had finished. The
Doctor is otic of our most enterprising
citizens, and deserves the success in life,
that enables him in these hard times to
build a good house.
Wc were pleased to see hi- son, Sammy,
who has lately returned from the Gate

thereby hangs a tale. Upon his arrival
