The iJoud commissioners of the county met at this place last Friday, but what was done toward revising the road list or classifying them we did not learn.

Not only were the schools invited but every one, from the rollick- some playful infant to tliu grown up matrons, young ladies and gentlemen — the old and the youug. The day dawn ed upon us boautiiui, cool, pleasant and especially suited to make all spend the duy in great pleasantness. Indeed were the most cherished hopes mads manifest for not one, we believe, attended but that fully reulized all that was expected. Near all the schools iu ths county were represented by a goodly number of young old. At ubo*it .0 o’clock the engine oftho “narrow guago" rolled iu, bringing a full loul of good Sunday- school workers, scholars and friends from Marietta und along the line of the roud t> help swell the number who with sougs and shouts of praises were to hftll the advent of spring iu ull its glories and celebiate the victories of tile work wli.cli is doing bo much in flic cause of our Master. To make » rough guess we would say there was at leust 1000 per sons present, at any rate there were more than could be seated ill the Court House, tbe largest, building iu town. Atuboutll o’clock tbe Association was called to order by Rev. C. M Mc Clure, President, in the chair; Rev. B. E. Led better acting as Secretary.

Candler offered a very feeliug prayer; Sang, “Footsteps of Jesus.” The address of welcome by Rev. B. E. Ledbetter was indicative *f the feelings and hospitality with which our people of Canton and Cherokee will always give to friends and visitors, but in this was the welcome made more- impressive for all were alike Inter ested in the work before the Association , it was responded t* by Mr. J D.

Notwithstanding my last communica tion havig been curtailed admonishes me to he brief, I must say something to you about our lovely little valley. Even the most casual observer would be impressed with its beauty were be to travel tbn. ugh it in the gentle spring time. Nestled aary uinoug the mountains, so decked in their verdant robes, bespan gled with tlid loveliest of wild fijweri, forming natures own boquet, offered to the givir of spring. The picturesque stream of Salucoa winds its way like a thread of silver, through the waving waving whe^t und newly planted corn fields of our quiet valley as lothe to leave. O it is beautiful ; yea, beautiful beyond discriptiou! Others may not sec it thus but it is our own home, around which cluster the most sacred affections. And like tlie Icelanders, were wu gifted, we would never tire of describing our grand old mountains ami glorious sun sets, but liking the gift I will stop.
