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.

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.”

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.

WOODSTOCK ITEMS.
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

that this is in l a prapicinua rc oftu for

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>.

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.”

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

after Saturn, it the aky is olear, it
will be safe to promise a superb plau*
etary show, well worth taking puius
