7t)0 tons have been shipped to this place
and it is nil gane save Hle4it 10 sacks.
There is enough though however to Imp
ply the demand until mors gets here—
its on the way, alas Multiplying the
700 ton* of guano sold at this place by
867 50 per ton, the average cottou op
tion price, we have $47 250 to be raised
to pay this debt off. We fear our farm
ers will find doom diffic ilty in paying
this enormous debt. Wu advise ail to
pay for their guano before the cotton op
tion expires, or dsn, it is our opinion,
they will have to pay with jottou at only
8 cents per pound at best, should the
crop not prove a failure,

Canto* vs. Atlanta.
Mrs. Watkins, an old lady living near
Ell jay, carriel to’Atlanta last week a
wagon loaded with lard, bacon and vin
egar aud could not get an offer on it, so
was compelled to bring it back. Getting
to Canton on her way home Mr. McAfee
bought it paying her a good round price
for the whole loud. Thu* it conclusive
ly shows Canton to be ahead of Atlanta
It tuny be you can carry a load to Atlan
ta and sell it; and, then again it may be
you can’t, if the latter bo the case the
ferriage, the wear on the wagon and the
time 04 yourself und team is lost. Stop
at Canton. " 1

meat to know whithrr or not the twins
know themselves ap^rt. What do you
think of this? Until anottier develop
ment be made we shall claim that Chero
kee is ahead, We wish the proud fa
ttier and mother mueh joy and trust the
twins will Imve a pleasant voyage through
life.

long to wait ’etc she had taken mi he
*’pply of jvi.—i-gHs and other fr* lgh*»
and we were speeding swif ly *l-<ng lit
“l arruw gunge," leaving Marietta behiml.
A# the sun threw its golden rays back
tram tlie Western lionsm. it formed a
perfect halo of glory over the beautiful
town. We passed some flue wheat field-
*hich had that dark rich green color,
from which you would know at one*
that the soil was favorable to the growth
of this useful grain. The farmers we/e
nil busy along prepsiing the grounds foi
the planting of their crops. It seem*-
Miat the approach of spring lias inspired
“the fartwet who feeds us all" with new
life. The fields ar-all thoroughly plo \
cd and rucely ditched. As tar as the rye
could rttnch all bespoke of life and ener
gy. The station* a'ong the railroad are
last improving, new houses arc bob g
built aud each place would produce
something of Interest as t he “Little Ma
ry” would stop to tiirow off freight. Thu
enur»u uf the "narrow guage" is followed
almost all the way by a bright sparkling
stream, and the road is remarkable for its
curves. We arrived at Canton after
dark.
Cnbton is a very thriving village, and
would judge quite hedthy, salts situa
tion la rather elevated, overlooking Eto
wah river, which now has « yery good
and substantial bridge at that place. The
people of Canton vre noted for their h<»s
pitality aud sociability; all scent to iiya
in perfect harmony. Canton has a splen
did courthouse, tWa churches, J/ethodist
und Baptist. We atteuded the latter
aud listeued to a very good sermon by
/fev. J. A. McMurray, and regretted wc
did not have the pleasure uf hearing him
again, ns he w as too indisposed .0 preach
in tlie evening. Both churches have very
good Sunday schools, ol which Col. Fay tie
and Rev, Tuggle are Superintendents;
also two good literary schools taught by
.Miss Jessie Pritchett, a very estimable
young lady, and Jfuv. Ledbetter. We
visited the printing office, ami observed
th? wonderful «rt of printing J/ay tlie
worthy editor realize life long success
[ Iliank you Ed.] Being highly pleu-ed
with those whoai are met, aud with win
