I* the county-seat of Cherokee county, Georgia, is situated on the Marietta and
North Georgia railroad, '24 miles north of Marietta, on the Western and At’autic
railroad, aud 45 miles north of Atlanta, the State capital. A crescent is formod on
the north and west of the town l^r the Etowah river,which liver ia navigable lower
down. I lie town is situated on an eminence at an elevation of aliout 1,100 feet
above aea level, and there is not n healthier place in Georgia, it is an old. lustori-
? iooo U ’ yenrB R P° * ,een headquarters of the Indians. It was first chartered
in 1833 as Etowah, but subsequently changed to its present name, During the
‘‘war between the states” it was almost wholly destroyed by fire. It has since
L i j • I ,r ? !,rnt '* now n handsome appearance. The street* are wide and
shaded and its principal houses substantially built of brick. It now baa an esti
mated population of 600, only about one-tenth of whom are colored. 'I hero are
here splendid luick churches of Baptist and Methodist denominations ; the (episco
palians have a lot and contemplate erecting a chapel thereon, and the Presbyter
ian* hold monthly services in the Methodist church. The Etowah Institute is a
large, two-story brick building, new and specially adapted to the educational
wants of this section, and supplied with all needed apparatus aud a corps of com
petent teachers.
A large, two-story brick hotel, containing twenty-five rooms, gives splendid
accommodation at clioan rates. There are also a number of private boarding
houses. There ia a large, three-story brick flouring mill, with other manufactur
ing enterprises; also a fino livery stablo stocked with good horses snd vehicles
1 he cmiutv property hero is a large and magnificent two-story brick courthouse, a
two-atory brick jail, and within a naif-mile of the courthouso a farm consisting of
130 acres aud having thereon a number of good buildings for the proper care of the
county’s poor. By special enactment of the legislature, no whiskey ia allowed to
be sold within two miles of the place ; there nre no gaming house* nor other places
of vicious nmusement; the town is quiet, orderly and peaceable, having no cala
boose nor any use for one. Canton presents innny advantages over other towns.
It lias the benefit of railrond and telegraph con muiiicutioiis nnd daily mails north
snd south. The Etowah river oas-itig at the base of the towu, nW the depot, af
fords ample opportunity for bathing, boating or fishing, and presents fino water
powers. The woods near town nre full of small game and afford splendid hunting
grounds. Nestliug in the beautiful and picturesque mountain district of North
Georgia, it is protected from the extreme cbillv blasts of winter, while in the hot
summer months the oool mountain breezes make it a most pleasant summer resort. !
Near town are magnificent springs of mineral waters, notably among them an alum i
spring of known curative powers.
CHEROKEE COUNTY,
Is situated in the western part of North Georgia, 7t) miles from the North Carolina
and Tennessee lines, nnd is bounded by tl.o counties of Pickens on the North, Daw
son and Forsyth on the cast, Milton nnd Gobi) on the south, and Ilattow on the
west. Jt is one of the best of tho twenty-one counties comprising what is known
as Cherokee Georgia, or that portion of the state lying northwest of the Chatta
hoochee river, and contains 470 square miles, it is the original Cherokee, from
which tho oilier twuity counties have been cut off since its purchase from tbe
Indians in 1838. By viituo of its climate, bealthfiilmss, soil, er< ps, wider powers,
minerals, society, transportation and telegraphic facilities ami political liberality, it
stands second to none. Tbe richest lands are to be found in the valleys, of course,
but the magnificent timber that clothes tbe hillsides shows that strong, productive
so l is not wanted there as well. Almost every character of soil known to tho state
can be found within the limits of the county, from the dark alluvial of tho river
and creek b itterns to the light gray or mulatto lands of the uplands, and all are
iqually productive and responsive to care and good tillage, All the product* of
the north can be successfully grown hero, in addition to those of tbe south. 'Jhe
cerenls, wheat, oats, com, barley, rye, ull the grasses and especially clover, flud
here a rongeuial home, Cotton is the principal money crop ; tobacco forms an
important oue, supplying some hnlf dozeu or more factories in the county. With
abundant dreams of never-failing, pmo water and a mild climate, this can be made
a nursery for mules, horses and catlie to mpply the great northwestern markets,
and ia here being successfully demonstrated. All thereby making it one of the
most attractive and desirable counties in North Georgia. Tho county is lacking in
more labor and money. With more of eaeli the inexhaustible agricultural and
mineral resources would Boon be turned into greater wealth and usefulnc-*. The
ininoral wealth of this county is varied and cxlmustless and, as yet, even unknown
to ut. Prominent among the minerals found deposited here are gold, silver, iron,
manganese, copper, coal, mica, asbestos, lead, marble, slate, etc. Our water power
is exceptionally good. The Etowah and Littlo rivers each possess many thousands
of available horse powers, beside that furnished by tho numerous creeks. The va
riety of fertile aud produo ive lands, and minerals and superior water powers are
not so great as the pure water, good health and equitable climate with which the
citizens of Cherokee are blessed. The hoalthfulnoss of tho county cannot lie sur-
pa-sed, being entirely free from all malarial influences—a case of chills having
never been known to originate in this comity. Our atmosphere is exceptionally
fine, the winters not being rigidly cold nor the summers oppressively hot. The
religious and educational advantage- of the county aro splendid, there being
churches and school houses in hhort distances of each other all over the county.
The county now lias an estimated population of 16,000, of whom 1,100 are colored.
Our citizens are all intelligent, social, moral and industrious. The Marietta ami
North Georgia railroad passes through tiie entire county from south to north, and
along its line aro the towns of Woodstock, Too Ny, Holly Springs, Canton (the
county seat), Mabel and Ball Ground in this county. Besides these towns there
are Cherokee Mills, Hickory Flat, Ophir, Orange, Moore’s Mills, Sutalleo, Walesca,
Fharp Top, Salacoa, Laredo, Macedeuia and Fort Buffington. All tho abovo town*
aud the surrounding country are peopled by thrifty, energetic and wide-awake citi-
xens. No whiskey is sold in bar rooms in the county, and none except by the
gallon. ’Ihere are several manufacturing eatabljphments in the county.
To all who may pay Cherokeo county a visit «« will pledge a warm wolcome, and It they will
settle, a hearty co-operation from our people, For further information regarding this sectioD

The Pica Matter.
When the framers of the Inter-Stnte
Commerce law put the word “Pint” in
that auction that rendu that nil railroad
littea mtiat expose their freight nnd pas
senger tariff's tit eaeli station on their
road, and the smite to be printed in that
stylo of type, observes an exchange,
they did not take into consideration the
great outlay this would involve on the
railroad companies. To revise the pres
ent tariffs to conform to the new law is
it herculean task of itself, and requires
extra clerical force, but to change the
type created consternation in the ranks
of the freight and passenger agents.
The present tariff sheets are sot up in
nonpareil type, so at one “fell swoop all
goes by the ltoord,” and an entire
change must be had. The standing
nonpareil tables are smashed, so to
speak, and it is in gating up new ones
in the type required bv law, that makes
the labor so great and the expense so
large. Printing offices do not carry
much large type, while the type foun
dries have but little in stock, tbo de
mand being limited. Now, with the
new order of tilings, each printing of
fice will require thousands aud thou
sands of pounds of pica type. All the
foundries of the country are now work
ing night and day getting out pica type,
to the neglect of others. The officials
of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Com
pany esHsiate their printing bill for this
particultfr job will cost at least $100,000.
Other roads will range from 880,000
down to 810,000.
[ On the plantation of Caleb J. Harris
I near Turin, Ga., lives an aged colored
j woman who claims to lie 106 years old,
t and 1ms pretty good proof that site if
correct in her statement. Her eldest
living child is between 80 and 90, and
lias great-great grandchildren. Her
youngest child, with whom site is now
living, has several grandchildren. Kite
does the cooking for a family of eleven,
and, in addition to her kitchen duties,
finds time to do all her sewing. Her eye
sight is almost as good as it was fifty or
seventy-five years ago, and she has never
had occasion to use glasses; never took n
dose of medicine, and never needed the
services of u physician.
Sued.—A New Haven grocer, thinking
somo one was making too free with his
limns, attached a bell to ono of them,
and when some time afterward lie heard
the bell ring, he found a neighbor with
the ltarn in his hand. Thereupon he
told the man’s wife that Iter husband
stole hams, and now the pair have sued
j hint for slander, laying the damages at

In ttiefirst plnc<*, I oommond the* Is lnvior
of these dis' ipies to all tho-o in this audience
who are Bin fill and unpurdoued Tlior<* comes
a time in almo.it every mans hi-to; y w lien ho
foels from pome koup*o that he has an erring
nature. The thought may not have such h it
ae to fell him. It may l*o only like the llmdi
in an evening cloud just after a very hot sum
mer day. One man to get rid of that impres
sion will go to prayer; Another will stimulate
himself Ub nrd»nt spirits, aud another man
wlu mvWloo|W' in mvularitie* But mmic-
tim«*s a man cannot get, rid of these impres
Kioiii. The fact is, when a man finds out thut
hie eternity is poised upon a perfe, i un -or
tainty. and that the next moment his foot
may slip, he must, do something violent to
miiko himself forgot where ho stands, or else
fly for refuge.
If there nre any hero who have resolved
that they would rather die of this awful can
oer of sin than to have tho heavenly surgeon
cut it out, let me say. my dear lootlo r. you
inin^lj for vom*Helf a bitt* r cup. You fly in
tho face o( your everlasting uiterohls. You
crouch under a yoke and you bite tho dust,
when, this moment, you might rise up a
crowned conqueror. Driven and iierplexed
and haroosisl as you h ivo h«* i by sin, go uud
tell Jeans. To relax the grip of death from
your soul, and plant your unshackled f<M*t
upon tho golden throne, Christ let the
tortures of the bloody mount trun. fix Him.
With the beam of Ilis own cross lie will
break down the door of your dungeon.
From tho thorns of His own crown He will
pick enough gems to make your brow blaze
with eternal victory. In every teir oa His
wet cheek; in every gash ol His side; in
overy long, blackening mark of laceration
from shoulder to shoulder; in the grave-
shattering, heaven storming death groin, f
hear Him say: “ Him that cometh unto Me,
i will in no wise cant nut.”
“Oh.” but you say, “instead of curing my
wound yon want, to make another wound,
namely; That of conviction!” Have you
nover known a aurgi on to come and find a
chronic disease, and tli 'ii with sharp caustic
burn it all outf Ko the grace of God comes
to the old sore of sin. It has long lioeii rank
ling there, but by divine grace it is burned
out through these Arcs or conviction; “Ihe
flesh coming again as the flesh of a little
child;” “where sin abound** 1 grace much
inoro abounded) " With the ton thousand
unpardoned sins of your life, go a id tell
J etuis. You will never get rid of your sins in
any other way: and remember that th,* broad
invitation which I extend to you will not al
ways be extended.

A Parrot Saves a Kitten's Life.
John Gaffney, for ten years collector
of rovenuo for liu Ison City, owns a par
rot and a kitten, noiihcr of which can
to-day bo bought for money. Tho other
morning tho. kitten emerged from tho
kitchen of Mr. Gaffney’s place of busi
ness at tbo corner of Slontgomery street
and West side avenue, and at once
stinted a game of “tag" witli tho parrot
which wus on tho top of his cage. The
put rot promptly responded and for a few
niinulei fur nnd featliers flew around in
a lively way. A heavy left bander from
tiie kitten, however, was suddenly
missed ns ttie counter from the parrot
und tho pair dropped into n tub Ailed
witli water. Animal nil 1 bird disap-
peuredboneath the mi face and as prompt

to have lost all control of itself, where
as the parrot kept its self possession.
Catching the tub witli ono of its power
ful claws tbe parrot reached over aud se
at r.'d the kitten in tho nape of its neck
with Its beak and dropped it to the floor
Then reaching down as fnr as possible,
the parrot secured a hold ou the outside
of tiie tub and gradually lowered him
