In our burry last week there was sev eral item* we tailed to mention, but in this issue we will give u brief notice of those not too old. Mu. R. T.

We call your attention to the notion, in another column, of the dissolution of the firm of J. G. Evans 4 Co , Cherokee Cantoti Cotton Receipt a.

Miss Jessie Pritchett is teaching school at her home. She is inexperienced as a teacher, yet we believe her to be as good teacher as some of the most experienced. Arrhii the usual trouble aud vexatious uucoiulortubletiess attendant ou such oc casions as mov mg We have pleasauily anchored at the house udjoiuiug that of Capt. Newman. Bksides the many departments of our office tiiere has lately—last Monday—been another attachment, that of a “committee box.’’ For further particulars call upon or address Leu Hutson. lr George Richardson “guts left” in the race for mail contracts, the man who takes the Canton line will have to be all sorts of a good fellow to make as many friends as bn (George) has.—Dawsonville Chronicle. Wk trust thut all who may receive au issue of the Cukkokee Advance will send us their nAme telling us to oontinx uc sending the paper. Subscribe your- self and get your neighbor to also—only $l!00 per year. For tile last few days we have noticed wagons loaded wftli goods for Capt. J. J. Maddrx, at Orange, leaving the depot. Capt. Maddox is a wide-awake business man and knows how und what to a buy to please hi* customers. Mu. Vance, of Atlanta, is visiting our town for the purpose of effecting ar rangements by which to permanently establish a general harness aud saddlery business. We hope that be may meet with great encouragement. Although l&te in the sca.son cotton continues to come, the demand is good nnd prices high. A great deal of the staple has been brought to our town as may be seen in an article elsewhere, u much larger receipt may be expected of tb<> next crep. “Little Mary,’’ a few days since, hauled on one flat cur three cords of wood, estimated, by men ol experience to weigh 0000 pounds to the cord; mak ing a total of the three cords of 18,000 pounds. How is this for the “uarrow- guage”? Compare it with the broad- guage and note the difference. The past week we have received visits from Misses Ophelia Wilson and Ollie McClure, Mrs. Harris and Miss Mattie Dowda, and Misses Lizzie Teasley and Emma McClure, all on committees ap pointed to raise money for home missions, bishop and foreign missions. Each com mittee did better than they were expect ed to, of course they did. The Methodist church has been placed in an excellent condition by a committee, either appointed or voluntary. They have placed on the back of all the seats a slip of paper with the words “Gentle men will not spit on the floor” printed thereon; someone already has been de facing them; we trust they may have more self respect than do the like again. Wk take great pleasure in calling the especial attention *t)f our readers to the advertisement,elsewhere, of the Cherokee Drug Store. This drug emporium is the neatest store in the drug line ever kept at this place, anything usually kept in the drug houses of large cities are to be found there. Dr. Greene, the proprietor, can be easily found when any goods are needed or consultation desired. Go and see his new store, new stock and neatly arranged goods at the next door to E. B, Holland * 0*i , Our fanners need no longer think of carrying their cottou to other markets Imping to find one more atcessahlu and the prices better. It can t be done. Bring the cottou you now linve or may have to this place und you may be sure ot getting full weignts and the Ingest market price—our cotton buyers are lioue-t, fair dealing tradesmen. Come to Canton *‘Tlie Wrong Box •• On last Tuesday a man bailing from wi know not where, soon attracted a crowd in the struct fronting l>r Greene olfiiing “a genuine two dollar bill for one dollar and seventy-five cents,” it was bought, then the 81.75 offered for $1.00, and soon. It being disposed of he then introduced his business, which was found by a few to very unprofitable, it was tn this wise: He placed in one box $10 and in another f 1, lie then sold you a heavy brass necklace and ring for $8 with the pri7ilege of taking your choice of the money boxes, if you happened to get the box with ten dollars yow were the gainer, but if you got Hold of the one dollar box, as is most generally the case, you were tbo loser. * Some few bought their experience, paid rather dear too, but we hope this losing may serve as a blessing for their future investments. Hereafter in noticing swindles remember the "gen uine two dollar bill for only ono dollar aud seventy-five cents.” r.fr T The Revenue. One morning last week a whole regiment of 'armed cavalry,’ It seemed, had as suddenly dropped in upon us as a mos quito will light upon your nose, and be gan to draw quite a crowd of inquiring persons about them. This “ armed cav alry” howevor turnei out to he a goodly number, some 15 or 18, of tbe revenue department. It was acsertained from them that they wore on a raid through thin nnd the counties above on seurcli of illicit distilleries. On their route to this place they had overtaken nnd cap tured u Mr. Brown, of Brutow county, who lias for sometime been hhoriug un der tlie wrong Idea and unlawfully ped dling over the counties, in a closely box ed buggy, *‘giu-tools,” ns he called it, but which was afterwards found to be more familiarly known as “blockade wliisjcey.” He was taken care of by our jailer until they were prepared to depart for—we know not where, but they are gone. Messrs. Hillhome «f* Paxton have dis covered a new gold slate vein near Lar- kin Ragsdale's, which pans extremely well. Messrs. Hart A Tutor, experienced miners, from Boston, Mass . are now re- npeuing the old McC.iy mines at the Sixes. 1 hey have put up a new engine and are working day and night going down in tlie shaft. Messrs. Clarkson A Co., have tlie’f steam saw mill running and sre still work ing their gold mine near the Sixes. There is also some mining on the Ab ercrombie mine. \yilliain Broadwell, ope among the oldest citizens of this county, living near Cherokee Mills, has been lying in a help less condition from paralysis for four years Thanks Below we give a few letters showing how the Advance is welcomed abroad wo might add more but deem it altogether unnecessary. From Dr. A. Reynolds, Jr., the wide awake Marietta dentist, we have received the following card: “Dear Ben : The Cherokee Advance No. 1 received, and, indeed, I think It JVo. one- Quite a good llttlo paper, sir. I consider the reading matter column headed “Etiquette of Conversion” well worth the price ot subscription. May you(r) Advanci live long and prosper." Another from Marietta, says: “Wo received the first number of the Cheroeeb Advance, aie well pleased with it; enclosed please find one dollar, for one years subscription. Many good wishes for the future prosperity of tbe Advance. Q. W.” The Atlanta Constitution recognizes the receipt of the Advance, but does not exchange, in this wise : “We bavo received tbe Cherokee Ad* vance, a new weekly started at Cauton, by Mr. Ben. F. Perry.” From tbe Marietta Journal we clip tbe following t “The Cherokee Advance comes to us from Canton, edited and published by our former townsman, Ben. F. Peiry. He starts out with a modest but creditable sheet, aud if the people of that county will sustain him, he will give them a paper worthy of their enterprise, indus try and progress. Success to the Ad vance is our sincere wish.” Thd first papers to extend the usual courtesies were the Marietta Journal, Atlanta Daily Post and Dawsonville' Chronicle. We are very thankful for them and shall be pleased to get them regularly. Larcoury after Trust, We learn that on Friday morning last a Mr. Hoard borrowed of Hon. W. B. 0. Pucket two fine mules and a wagon for tbe purpose of going to Fair Play after a portion of household goods belonging to him (Hoard), ho having hired tor the year to Maj. Pucket. On getting to Fair Play he sold the wagon and harness to Dr. Sewell for $15, and left one mule stating that the revenue officers were after kirn and another man nnd that the owner of the mule was shot by them but would be after tbe mule that night. He then got on the other mule and started toward Wolf Pen, in Bartow county, and here we leave him, not knowing whether he was overtaken by Maj. Pucket and his posse of men or not. Later we leatn they have returned without their man. Our^HoteL Mr. Wells B. Whitmore, formerly ot Marietta, but more recently of Gaines ville, has taken charge of the McAfee House, Mr. McAfee having moved to the house vacated by Mr. Styles. In leaving Gainesville Mr. Whitmore gave up tbe hotel business, therefore he and his es timable lady know exactly how to man* r.. Ike Wesley tbe negro who some time ago raped Mrs. Fox, a white lady of Marietta, will carry his case to the su preme court. He was to have been hung at that place to-day. The LaGrango Reporter is 86 years old, and on beginning its 87ih volume it comes out double its former size. May it live to see another 36th volume. The Columbus Enquirer says that Mr. W. 0. Raoul, Superintendent of the Southwestern Railfoad. has purchased & velocipede constructed to run on railroad tracks, and is uow testing the practica bility of its being used by. supervisors inspecting the road instead of the ciank now in use. They aro constructed simi lar to the ordinary velocipede, except two of the wheels run on one side and what is called tbe guide wheel is on the rear instead of the front. They weigh seventy-five to one hundred pounds, and can be handled by one man and put on and off the track with ease. They cost about forty dollars, carry one man. and are capable sf being forced up to a - high rate of speed. It is anticipated that it will save the expense of two hands who work the ordinary crank nbw used.
