pCbLic meeting.
Tuesday last wax a big day in the his
t<>r , of 6'unfim, »*t least the larg>-at gnth
•tring was her- that 11 is been for * long
while, except diring the lad term
of court. '
G n. Phillip-*, Pieaident of the M. &
N. Ga. K. R, hat -is pi diely notified
the people *.s convenient that prominent
g nth men would be here to address
them uwon the sul>j ct of our railroad.
I’liis notice brouglr to town many from
Pick-ns, 1 ilm-r, Fannin an i even one,
Mr. Robert Bruce, f.oin N •rth arolina.
I’he town was crowd • ! with pe >p!e un i
h- c urt house was completely filled and
running over with an appreciative mid
attentive audience yearning to catch ev
ery word mat was to fall from the lip
of the distinguished Georgians.
The train made an extra trip to Mari
etta and brought in not a l’-w from tha:
City, accompanied by the M irietta Silver
Comet. Bind, the fin.st. in the State,
which discoursed music for the occasion.
At about eleven o’clock the meeting
was called, lo ord. r and organized at
the court house be elec mg James Sim
inons, <>f Jasper, pn-si.ieut, T. 11. Moore,
of ribb, Joshua Rob.-ris, of Cherokee,
and Robert Bruce, of North Carolina,
vice piesiderts, and W II Simmons, of
Jasper, and P. P. DuPre, of Canton, sec
retaries.
The president. J lines Simmons, parti
ally explained the object of the meeting.
Gen. I hillips was called on and arose
and more fully explain*d the purpose
And object of the meeting, the present
condition of ther >ad,an i its prospects.
He stated that with sl.ooo the company
could be put out of debt; that he saw
nothing but a bright futuie ahead—noth
ing to d<> but go right on with the road
to Murphy, N. C. That there is now 36
hands at work on the Extension from
Canton, and if the road gets the hands
that are hi Id back on account of other
Penitentiary companies, lie is sure that
the road c .11 and will be bu.lt and fully
cquipp din a short while. But time is
neces-ary.
The president then called for Sen. Jo
seph E. Brown, and was introduced, if
any he needed to the people with whom
he so long lived and of whom he once
v as, by Gen. Phillips. Isl: arose,'greeted
with cheers from ’the entire house, and
■ .11 his nma'ks gav: a very touching and
fe. ling account ot his early life in Cher
okee— his start—in 1843 when he came
to < auton to take charge of the academy
encouraged by only six scholars, with a
burden of $-00 hanging over him for his
education. As one of the speakers said
h- has proven himself an honor to Cher
okee and Cherokee has honored him.
He showed his fitness and qualifications
for the . slice he holds, as President of
the W. <t. A. Railroad, by giving the or
igin of railroads from the first road ever
put in operation on our globe to the
piestnt, together with their many ad
vantages and convenience. In speaking
of our road, the M. & N. Ga.. he says “it
iinisl and will be built;’’ that North
Georgia needs it more than any other
part id the State, there being such vast
mid inexhaustable supplies of freights
to be had from the upper counties,
G<>v . A. H. Colquitt was then introdu
ced and addressed the meeting in hisusu
al good humored style. He pronounced
himself a friend to the road and that he
had done and would do i.l! in his power
that it might go beyond Canton and
penetrate the heart ofthe mountains and
swi ep through the valleys of the coun
ties .further on.
Judge J. W. 11. Underwood, of Rome,
was introduced and in his glowing des
criptions of Cherokee and the counties
beyond we were led to look upon «t as
*n almost earthly paradise. He spoke
though not from near say but personal
observations, lie having been among the
people, ridden over their roads, breathed
the same air, drank of the same water
from pure and cool springs, and sat at
meat with them at their tables. He not
only spoke of the needs of the road and
the many advantage- to be gained, but
branched < ut, extended his theme, and
hurled into the teeth ofthe “most grace
ful mountain lasses ’ many deserved com
pliments, and that he wanted the road
to be built on through that he might see
the young men and w-a:dens of middle
and northern Georgia united in marriage
so th .t there might boa unity of good
feeling throughout Geoargia, from the
mountains to theseaboird. His speech
wva rich, rare and tacy.
Judge Ge<>. N. Lester, well known to
the people ®f this and adj ice nt counties,
was called for and responded with a
short but impres»lve speech in which he
>*aid that the m- eting ..ad certainly been
a splendid love-fiairt, for he felt a great
deal more, a d-eper iutere-t in the fu
ture ot the roacl and felt that it was safe
to say the r nd would be completed. He
advisvd nil, ns did the other speakers, to
c*-ase their bickering-, put aside nil past
prijudices, and be staunch working
fi iends of the road.
Hon. E. Howell, ofthe Atlanta
onstitu ion, was to have addressed the
meeting but thy hour of dinner having
about arrived lie sin* It the eatables ann
like all newspaper men hurried to where
he might quiet the inner man. Thus it
was the anxious nu iii-nce was cheated
•mt of the speech of Hon. E P. Howell.
t*en Phillips then arose and address*
• d the meeting in his usual fervent and
impressive style, and expressed himself
as glad to see such an interest manifested
ui the mutter of building the road 04
through, and hoped that he might meet
with kind favors, that they would “hold
up his hands’’ all the way along.
The meeting then adj turned sine dis
and all went to where they mig t to seek;
shelr dinners. Not one we have heard
bur that was delighted with the meeting
and wax more than ever hopeful of the
road being built on to at least beyond
this place.
