£i)c €l)erckcc Hbwcntce. MARSHAL A.TIIOM AS, Ebitor. Canton, Cherokee County, Oa. THURSDAY. MAY 10, 1881, THE V. AN. OA. ». R It if! now h certain l'aot that, tin Marietta and North Ga* Railroad will not stop at Canion—hence the necessity ol our citizens to pnsh it through to Murphy, X. C. We are r.liatl. n.foiui**d that the people ol Cheroke** did promise to assist Pick •ns county i( that county would hel| them to get the road to Canton, und if this really was the case, then Cher okee should stick to her agreement Not only this, hut the head of the road will in a shovt time be removed twelve milea above Canton to Hal Ground, and it Pickens fails to get up her share of the assessment, then Ball Ground will be the head of the road, and Canton will he in a worse fijc than she would he if the road went on to Murphy- Pickens has t'nec-louribs of her assessment a' ready subscribed, und twenty-five hundred dollars will complete H, and now la the time for our people to gether with Piokens, to say whether the same shall he completed toils original destination. We are sure that the Canton people now want the roadrearried through, as anything short of that will work to our injury. All the other counties above Pickens haw their assessments made up, and stand listening for Pickens to sound the welcome news ol having raised her lull amount. If, thersfore, Cher okee is under uny obligations, we Would like for her to respond. To day the least of it, we could not well afford to let the road atop at Bill Ground. Coipnel Cola. Henry Grady telegraph! the Con- atitution aa follows from New York, dated May 18th. You will reosive by tlis preaa the following intelligence that Col. Cole has, through a syndicate, purchased the East Tennessee and Virginia system, embracing the Memphis and Charleston and Selma, Rome and Dalton roads and the Macon nnd Brunswick. Thedetailsol this trade have just been closed, although the contract was closed on Saturday at fi o’clock. The syndicate thut backs Colonel Cole is composed of strong men, and men who have the highest confidence in his ability und in the vast system he prodoses. Mr. George I. Seuey, the philanthropist so well known in Georgia, is one of the lea ders of the syndicate, aud expresses much interest in Georgia and satis faction that he is now thoroughly identified with her development. Colouel Cole says to-night. “You may promise your people that the road between Atlanta and Macon will be running by the first of Janu ary. 1 will huve u load from Atlan ta to Home direct running by the first of March. I could have Ihe road lrom Home to Macon through Atlanta running by Janaary, except that there is a little heavy work be tween Home and Atlanta, and will show your people, however, the fast est railroad building all the way from Hume to Macon that they have seen in some time.” Colonel Cole leaves New York for Atlanta to-morrow night, und upon his arrival will at once put the entire line under contract, and will have a number of forces of hands at work as soon as the bids can be received. He says he must have the trains running in January next and will do so. This will virtually give At lanta two new lines, one to Macon and one lo Rome. An immense de pot lor the lines, aud shops for the hands will be built as soon as Colo nel Cole can reach Atlanta and de termine on the site. Colonel Cole is now in actual pos session of the entire system of roads embraced in the purchase, the trims fer having been made on Saturday evening. It may not be out of place tore mark that the Georgia Western is just as certain to come as the roads MARIETTA. * We had the pleasure of a trip to Murietta last Habhalh. We found, as usual, every body in a good hu mor and high spirits, the park in the centre of the 6«|uare, and com pletely surrounded by enterprising and business merchants is one of the most pleasant spots on the face ol God’s green earth. At this season of the year this favorite resort is WB'ded with huppy und delighted visitois and citizens, and the people are, und huve a tight to he proud < f it. We were shown the new fcjilshy Fire Engine, which is a |»eifect beau ty. It is silver mount'd, and t-< take a casual glance at i\ i< looks like a huge mass of solid silver. In fact it is well worth the motley paid for it—uoout 8:1,000 incluuing hose and reel, and “the boys’ will make her pay for herself at on- fire if uu opportunity is offered. The members of the Fire Company de serve great praise for their pers stent perseverance in securing menus to make this purchase. The merchants and business men of Marietta are now independent of lisurunce Agents, and if thev don’t comedown from their high figures, the mer chants will not run much risk bv leaving their stores uninsured. We met several friends of the Ad vance while there and return our •hanks lor the many wolds of en couragement bestowed upon us. May you all “live long and prosper.” A Model Filmier. Griffiu News. A News reporter had a pleasant aud inter sting chat the other day with Mr. T. H Hearns, who is one of Ihe most practical and successful farmers in middle Georg in. lie is known all through this section ns a successful planter, keeps out of debt und al ways has motley ahead. Upon being asked how he matiag. ed it, Mr. Hearns replied : “It is the easiest thing in the world. Thero is plenty, of mossy to be made farming if yo ugo st it right. I made up my mind when the war dosed that thete was money in farming, and my experience every year unce has verified it. 1 have planted this year 10 acres of whent and 25 acres of corn to the plow. I do that every year, und it gives men plenty every yeur to live on, und corn and wheat to sell. I make everything that can he raised that is used on my planta tion and for use in my family in town. I never owe a oent in town, and never allow my hands to owe anything. I supply them with every thing they need. I raise my own meat at a small expense, and always have a plenty of it. After I have provided umply for mv food crops, I plant for all the cotton I cun make betides. The result of my system is that since the war I have always suc ceeded (arming, in hard times, when many farmers are pressed for money and lor supplies, I have corn, and whent, und meat, and everything else ol the kind I need in ubundunce, and money beside. That is the way Hearns lias suco-eded, and it is the only wav to succeed farming.” Hep—why is it that our farmers as u class do not understand and adopt that s-iiue system ? Mr. Hearns—I believe they are as fully satisfied of it us I am, but they started out on a di tie rut system which could not but fail, and which put them all a year behind. They have year by year deluded themselves in the belief that thuir only hope to catch up was by planting “nil cotton,” und the result is they are still a year behind, and always will be a year be hind, until they adopt the only sys tem of practical und successful farm- ing.” We earnestly commend this inter-, view with Mr. Reums,nnd his views to the furmers of Cherokee county He is right beyond a shade of doubt, i he farmer who buys Jus supplies year after year, paying for them ru inous rates of interest, is a failure aud must live with his face to the grindstone. Pursuing the most sen sible policy which has made Mr. Reams a successful uud prosperous planter, every farmer in the land might become prosperous and inde pendent. May the day soon come.

EniTon Advsnck: Your proposition tor me to write up “Wood* ock Items” fur the Advance should have been made to 8.-me one who has better facil.ties than I for g..thering news. The cotton patch ie certainly not a prolific source of news items. There is just at this .time Iivmp muscle than brain to be brought into requisition. The buttle with the crass is id*w raging arid the fight mint be whipped I will remind you fuitln-r that this is in l a prapicinua rc oftu for -em-ations in the couuti) I w ll say hewever that should I chance to meet up with anything loadable it will be promptly f iwarded tu the Advance. ’I lie quest imi for debate hy the'Auri- enltunl Club at this pluce nextbutnrday will he “Is the present embarrassing condition of our farmers the result of planting tio much cotton.” T. N. D. Wk do not iiri-suiiie their present condition the result of planting too much cotton, but it is tile result of nut mining their meat, bread, long forage and other necessary supplies at home, li doesn’t matter how much cotton they raise if it is a sur plus crop, hut to depend upon it for bread und incut, corn und hay to feed mules on, and money to hire bunds with, and in (act everything else, will muke our farmers beggars. All-coin is prelerable to all-cotton. Raise your supplies at home, make your fertilizer* at home, stop buying guano und turn your ultchtiou to meat aud bread uud then the day ol prosperity will duwn upon us.—Ei>. KILL CREEK ITEMS. Farming is booming. Every thing is growing Some oats are heading. Wheat is (tooting. The old folks arc gardening. And hot summer time is coming. Run-grins are fashionable dee hot days. 9005, and what about it. The “Advance” is advancing in news and get ups. An error in our last item can be cor rected' by changing the name of “Cobb,” to Dobbs. Hot, hot; yes very hot. Our farmers are trying what virtue there is in hard work, this spring. , The culture of cotton is now receiving our daily attention. The tax receiver wan round this way lust week. Legal business continues to come Into our Justices. Strawberries are rlpeniug, und, yum, how good, when got a little sugar and cream ober ’dein. A great many locusts have made their appearance in the last ten days. This must be the locust year. We hear some talk about mod dogs, rather early for them. The voters of this section have signed a | etitien for a new Militia District, making Too Nigh tbe center. It will bo a too nigh district suro enough. Rees continue to swarm, and are doing very well this spring. One of our bee raisers had a swarm to run away a few day* ago, lie followed them until they settled. He then skilfully captured them into a guano sack, and carried them back and delivered them Into a new hive. So they are now doing finely. That is wliat might lie termed “doing bees up in a rag.” Where shall the next picnic be, we will suggest one on Sweat's Mountain during huckleberry time. So if there is not enough baskets we can feast on the berries, they are in abundance th< ie. Can't som one agitate it.

A bum of astonishment followed the rending of the communications, aud Mr. Hill, of Georgia, suggested, sotto voce, that this would be a good time to elect officers of the senate. To Star Gazers. The May moon lulled lust night, the 13th. She will lie in conjunc tion with Mars on the 23rd, three days after the last quarter. The most beautiful oelestia! picture of the month occurs ou the morning of tbe 2Ct!i, lor the wauing moon will then be Bear Venus, Saturn and Jupiter, though she passed her con junction wulMthem all on the previ ous day. As Venus rises on that morning about teu minutes alter three o’clock, Saturn ten tniuntes in ter, and Jupiter about teu minutes after Saturn, it the aky is olear, it will be safe to promise a superb plau* etary show, well worth taking puius to wituess. - Stanley Mathews bos been confirm ed, by a majority ol one vote, i s Uni ted States Supreme Court Judge.— The Democrats did the work. We are glad to see the press of the State agitating the enlargement of the Luna ic Asylum. This is a matter in which delays are not only unnoying, hut dangerous. We have promised to fight the all* cotton and no corn sys em ol (aim ing, and we shall expect you to thank US for it some day, if you don’t ap preciate it now. Wu wish to urge upon our far mers the necessity of amkiog home made manure, You should improve every opportunity in this line, with a linn determination to buv less guano anotla-r year, and io grow your supplies at home instead ol buyiug them in the West. If you will grow your own truck at home, with home-made lertilezers, and raise your own meat at home, you will at ouce become no independent man, and your excuses will be easily paid and yo.* will have money left.
