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?

L>. 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. , ' Sumo -<-y Joe King .ioi.'t ik< iV way we make sport of hi« ..ceo , ph a nt» «s a music an W II »«-♦ h-m pi \ - thft silent grove wln-re t w n| -• ; o • ppft< elated.

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 with his school He has a good one and is loved by all his pupils.

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 cheap. ► • Bro. O'shields, of the Dawsonville Mountain Chronicle, has greatly im-» proved his paper recently, both in typo« graphic appearance and its general “make up.’’ Wc trust the people ot his county, Dawson, will give their liberal patronage; we feel confident that their b»st interest will be represented by him Long may he and his paper chronicle. 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 in Savannah on the 15th 16th 17th and 19th of April. The Rome Tribune complains that thf marriage market there is uwful dull con* sidering that this ia leap year. It eviden ly thinks the Rome ladies are not ener* getic enough to take proper advantage of their opportunities. We were visited by three beautiful young ladies yesterday.
