A horse belonging to Mr. Alonzo
Wright, of Pickens county, took fright
at Jone’s warehouse, last Thursday,
while guano was being loaded on the
wagon, and created much excitement by
dashing around the corners and leaving
a piece of wagon here aud a remnant
there. His speed was that of a genuine
break neck, not caring where he went or
how he got there. No one was hurt;
the wagon was badly smashed.
WOOD VIOCK ITEMS
Glad to see the Advance improving
and growing more readable; but why
t-'C-s it solicit correspondents when it has
no room to “priot Ym?”
The point made by the Advance in
its positiou ou “Memorial Duy" is too
vague for my comprehension. What do
flowers c'st in Cherokee? And when tin
people have met together to spread tln-ir
* floral off rings,’’ would it not In; an op
portune time to begin your subscription
to the fund for a ImsDltal if you choo-s?
[We tliiiiK our correspondent's point “is
too vaguj for our compreln union; ’ w«
don’t think a gathering of this kmd
should he made a place to solicit aim-
Wt are as much opposed to inking up s
colb cti-m at a gathering ot this kind us
to the gathering itself. Ed ]
A Gordon Felton Simmons boom was

BALL GROUND AFFAIRS.
Mr. Editor ; I have .not said any
thing recently through the colnmus of
jour valuable pap r from this part of
the county. I venture a lew dots.
Perhaps there are so lift' of your read
ers who do not know what Ball Ground
taken ler name frqpi. It wus by In
dians playing hall at this place. It whs
no rare tiling, thirty or forty years ago,
for two or throe hundred Indians to meet
here and play ball, w hich was the finest
of sport for them. The gnu ml is pltas-
untly situated in a high valley, eleven
miles above your pleasant town, tIn
cite of Cherokee and is tuts
rounded ..itli beautiful farming lands.
One and two miles off on the south is the
Etowoli river, on the east Long Swamp
a id on -lie west B.g Sharp Mountain,
with a bracing ai d exhilarating atmos
phere. Our village and county is admir
ably suit d to seekers of health, liappi
ness and farming or mineral property.
With the prospect of the early couiplc
tion of the r-.Hroud to this point we may
i xpect our riches to be fully developed,
and the St-.Po at large benefited.
The farmer .of this section arc making
rapid progress on the coming crops.
The wheat on uplands will give nn aver
age y ehl, and as yet does n >t see n to
be affected with the worm o. fly. Oats
are looking fine.
The i filch lit gentlemen, Roberts,
Holcombe, Kilby & Co. have bought
a steam saw- mill and will put it in op
peratinn here.
P. II. Lyon and Ja nes Price Esq. were
witnesses on the revenue truth in Atlan
ta recently.
Canton is surely getting an enormous
trade from the amount of wagons we see
going down daily from the uper coun
ties. Canton is a go-a ln-ad town, and
is determined to be up with the sea-on.
[You are right as to our town. We un
doing a big business now. Our mer
chants are happy and lay in expectancy
of a largo trade this fall. Ed.]
From present indications a larger area
will be planted in cotton and corn than
ever before, especially through this part
ol the moral vineyard.
WALL8CA GLEANINGS.
All is quite along the banks of Shoul
Oi eek at present. Farmers ot our settle
ment are like the Chinaman’s little sting
bug, “Improve eacli shining hour” for
fear that the rains may come aud floods
may come again. One of our neighbors
remarked to another last week if we ev
er heard of as much rain? The party in*
terogated said lie had heard of one spell
worse, w hich in the days of Noah. Sat
isfaction beamed on all countenances
present.
Mr. W. A. Ilarbiu we understand was
married Saturday the 27th to Miss Cur
tis, of Gordon ceunty. Long lives and
happiness to nikcn and his bride.
Our doctor has got him a gig that
somewhat resembles what we boys call a
uniform grasshopper and a mule with a
marble in his eye, so that he can peddle
pills at the rate of 2:40.
We haveatear in the left corner of oar
eye because our debate has ‘‘curflumixed’’
until fall, most of us being family men
and farm hands, it was unanimously
agreed that we suspend, but I think some
ofonr citizens will have to prepare same
vent for eloquence or bust. ,

HICKORY FLAT 8IIOTB.
Spring has come with all its loveliness
and beaut tor.
Corn planting is the general work of
Hickory Flat. Time enough to plant
com yet—I havq't planted any,
I was down I- tcweU six miles be*
low Canton Inst wade fchfl had a fiat
lime hunting and roving over the river
hills. I notice little work has been done
on tli« farm* down tuero as yet—too
much water.
I had the pleasure of crossing over the
Iron bridge a few days ago; it is among
one of the best bridges ever put up.
April Fools were in fashion again left
week. Some have already rent! theirs,
hut I have been slighted up to this time.
Why don’t somebody write me one.
Prdf. Tuggle is tugging light ahead

One ot our up country exchanges in its
local column speaks of Owen the jqpveH
cr. Pshaw! that is a small matter. Wo
know fellows who are Owen the jeweler,
the printer, the grocer, the bar-keeper
and forty-odd dozen more.—Adertiaer,
Yes, Bro. Freeman, and if you or any*
one else will go to Owen, the jeweler,
Maricrta, you can get good jewelry, youa
watch repaired or your picture taken

Bro. O'shields, of the Dawsonville

Our Ordinary issued last year 182
marriage liceuse; thereby taking in near
$200, and rendering 264 persons, more or
less, happy for a time being at least.
Our farmers we fear will be discour
aged this fall when they find the cottoa
market does not meet their expectations,
Do not plant too large an acreage of this
staple. Our idea is that so much will
be raised that the prices will be throwif
back to almost nothing, compared with
the cost of making.
The Sixth Annual Convention of thft
Young Men’s Christian Association meets

The Rome Tribune complains that thf

young ladies yesterday.
