We direct your attentiou to the adver* tisments in another column of “ The Marietta Female College” and “Marietta High School.” Both are schools which we take great pleasure in recommending as first class institutions. The corps of teachers in both institutions are highly learned and are up to the latest,quickest and best modes of teaching. The terms of either are moderate —very moderate. We be-speak for them a liberal patron age and h ope they may receive many from our section. More guano has been and will be brought to this place this year than ever before. Preparations are being made for a larger crop to b > planted, and, with favorable seasons, harvested than any previous year has given.

This is a month of “odda and aada.” Had you ones thought how odd it ie from that of any other? If you will juat follow ua we will point not a few of ita oddities. It has 90 days, which occurs but ones in every four years, aad it la the shortest month in the year; it has flve Sundays, which nccnfa but three times during a century: it baa the same number of 8ua« days, and in the same order, that August baa: It cornea in on Sunday and goes out on Sunday, hence it ia the month of Sun days; one of tnese Sundays, the fourth, is* the birthday of Washington: on the 96th one of the planet*, Hcrschri, will be in direct opposition to the aun; it has an odd number of days, which gives to it leap year distinctions; it ia month for valentines—the 14th—which is not odd mere than that no other month in the year ii attendant with this frivolous feast. It if said that no one now living will ever see another February so odd ; nor will their children, nor children’s etiildren—sufficient in itself to make the month interesting. So then to February let us give a good old cheer. To the Christian People of Cher okee County. The Executive Committee of Cherokee county ha /e held a meeting and we have determined by the help of God and his people to iiave a Sabbath School in ev ery cliarch in the county before the year 1880 comes to a close. In the Sabbath School is the only place where the Bible can be taught to the children. We hold that it is the duty of every Christian to do something for Jesus, because Jesus say* “Go work to day in my vineyard.’i Well, if you only tell one little child about Jesus it may be the cause of that one turning to Jesus when it becomes to the years of maturity. There is so much wickedness in this world that if God’s children do not take the children and teach them the blessed truth of the Bi. ble they will grow up to be wicked mon and women, and disregard God’s Laws. “Train up a child in the way he ahold go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Now then if you want your child to become a follower of Christ you must teach it to him while young. “To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not to him it is sin,” says St. James. Then if you know that there is good to be accomplished by working in the Sab bath School “to you it is sin” if you tail to do it, therefore you see that you are in a yery close place. Then let me call up on you to arise and go to work at once for your Master—how can you keep from telling the good news of salvation to ev ery one. Now we call upen every church in the county to meet at their church houses on the 1st Sunday in March and organize Sabbath Schools and send del. egates to the next meeting ot County Sunday School Association, which meets at Woodstock the 1st Saturday in May, 1880. There will be given on that day one doz. muaic books, known as “Wreath ef Gems” to the school that makes the best music—one song allowed to each school. The programme will be publish ed before the meeting. Below is the bus- ines transacted by the Executive Commit tee: Executive Committee met pursuant to call from Chairman.

One John Smith* a few days ago sold all hia property, pocketed what money he had, then told h<a wife that ha bad some earn at bis mother's which he would like to shuck fiat aad that the eoatd go to her father's and stafr antii ha shocked tha core. With this eadmtending Mrs, Smith look th** youngest child sad went to Iter father's, leaving the oldest child, not quite throe years CM, with that lie tbar. Alter packing ap a few things ha left for Atlanta, and will, the little fel low mounted tha trata aad sal out for Texas, leaving his wife sad baba at her fetker's la a destitute condition. Law or no law we think the* like of this should be looked into. MqJ. Puckett's stolsa mole was seat to him from Jasper. Tha man has not been overtaken but probably will soon as par ties are oa the right coarse. E. J. McConnell, Bsq , raised last year on common up*laed, twelve hundred pounds of seed cotton per nan. He says he put two hundred pounds of guano per acre in the drill and then rolled his cot ton seed in guano, adage bushel of gu ano to ten of cotton seed. We deem hia plan a very sueeeasfhl one and has been shown so by the yield in the laat crop. Farming has began on a Urge scale about Hickory Flat, and tha prospects are that a heavy crop will be gathered this year. A blacksmith shop at the Cross Roads is in full blast. Rubai* Hickory Flat it in live spirits—a great deal pf goods are being sold and every thing seems piosperous- Maj. Puckett gined over 9S0 bales of cotton this last season. Wm. Wheeler has 500 bushels of corn which lie will sell, provided one dollar a buahel is offered. Reubin Westbrook is contemplating putting up a store near this place. The Westbrook settlement is all aglow with gold and cotton prospects. Almost all the rocks have keen picked up for the gold to be found in them—golden dreams are nightly occurences. [Not only in that but in other localities. Ed] J. H. Moore is preparing for the prac tice of law. The milling business of Wm. Wane is in quite a flourishing condition. Russell Bates is celling goods at Day's old stand. He will sell goods at cotton option. “Marry, live together awhile and then leave” seems to be the motto of many of our migrating citizens.

In the language of the spring poets “all ia calm and sorene.” Ophir has no boom except the potato boom, and like other booms it is inclined to be rotten. Fred Moore with his squad of road hands has very creditably completed a bridge across Cain creek. Rev. J. W. Red will preach at the Cross Roads school house every first Sunday. Allons.

Tha Haasian fly has damaged wheal crops considerably in this section. Some of tbo farmers say they will not harvest enough to pay for tha seed sown. Many have resown a portion of their wheat land. It is thought the cold snap about Christmas damaged the wheat and cat prospect to a very great degree whiok will lead the farmers to go heavy oa oot* ton. Our adviev is to go heavy an com and cow peas and divide the spoil la cotton and sweet potatoes. Tha result will then be corn tor the hogs, peas for the cattle, a goad fertiliser for the farm, cotton to pay our taxes, get sugar and coffee, and sweet potatoes for the chil dren and old folks.
