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. G ÜBER NA TORI A L DEMOCRA TIG CONVENTION.
