Mr. Carlisle will make a good

large legislative experience, hav
ing served six years in congress and
a number of years in the legisla
ture of his state. He is 4S years of
age, amiable in disposition and

him their support.
The Georgia Pacific Railroad.
No railroad ever built in the
south was so thoroughly built and
equipped as the Georgia Pacific lias
been. This is jtho testimony of all
who have travelled over this fine
road. The writer not long ago
passed over it from Anniston to
Atlanta, andj what lie saw was a
revelation to him. The iron used
it of the heaviest, and the entire
road-lied is being ballasted with
rovk. The uniformity of the depots
with their little parks around them,
also adds much to its attractive
ness.
The part of the road running
through Carroll is rapidly develop
ing that section of our county. Vil
la Rica’s growth under the quick
ening influence of this road has
been somewhat remarkable. The
new town, Temple, also has a prom
ising outlook liefore it. Of what has
been done at these two places, since
the building of the railroad, we
shall have something more to say
at another time.
The recent completion of the
Georgia Pacific to Anniston, gives
Atlanta what she has been want-
lng for years, direct communication
with the coni fields and iron beds
ef Alabama. This will give an im
petus to manufacturing enterprises
in that city, that will place it among
the foremost of Georgia’s manu
facturing cities. But this road will
net only bring cheap coal and iron
to Atlanta, hut will add greatly to
its commercial importance, by giv-
tng to it the trade of a section of
country, which it has not hereto
fore controlled entirely. We know
that a great deal of cotton is being
cent to Atlanta via this road, which
has before this, gone to Rome and
other points.
As a good many miles of this
road run through Carroll county, j
wo ■hull at an early day
the schedule of it for the benefit of j.
oar roudors on its line. >
the good people of Carroll. Every
citizen of Carroll should take both
of their county papers, for I hold
that the more papers the people
have the more they will road. A
county paper enhances and guards
the interest of every citizen of the
county. No odds however humble
or what their circumstances may
he in life, the county paper points
him upward and onward. Then
dear readers will you not help your
editors in promoting your own
welfare and the general interest of
your county.
Captain W. B. Richards, of
County Line, Carroll county, paid
us a visit on last Sunday and the
captain was so glad to see me that
he kissed me. I diden’t much like
the style, but as it was a Carroll
fashion, I submitted to it, but don’t
let Mrs. Ripples hear of it, for if she
does, I will miss many a sweet
smack.
Property sold at Win. Sewell’s
sale on last Friday at fair prices;
corn bronght from 55 to GO cents
per bushel, wheat $1, oats 45 cents,
bacon 8C, fodder GO per 100 pounds,
pork hogs 5 to 6 cents per pound
nett. Stock sold very well, pota
toes 10 cents per bushel—would
have sold for more, but all the po
tatoes of this county are rottening.
I know of no serious sickness in
this immediate section.
I would say to your correspon
dent, 2-l>y-0 that I dont like to take
enemas for his convenience. To
brother P. H. C., I would say that
our Coweta forms are gotten up for
big justices of the peace and that
constables do the toating part over
here.
I must- close lest I weary your
patience. Give everybody a nickle’s
worth of love. Yours as ever,

Tho Oat Crop.
No urop the past few years lias pro-
Tea anch a profltableone in the south
aa the oat crop. It lias supplanted
to a considerable extent, in certain
localities, the cultivation of corn, as
it ia aqnaily as good food for stock
and is raised at much less ex
pense.
Another thing about this crop, is
that by rotating on it, the land is
rested, ant! also filled with humus,
•o necessary to the cultivation of
•otton.
As an evidence of what can he
dona in Carroll county with oats,
W» notice not long since a coin-
mnnieation in Home A Farm, from
W. H. Nullcy, near Villa Rica, in
which he states that he has raised
this year, off of one acre of ground,
101 threshed bushels of oats.
The following is Mr. N’s method
of putting them in, and also the ma
nure nsed in fertilizing. We quote
from his letter : I measured off
an acre of land on the doth of Janu
ary last. I had it broke with a
three an a half inch diamond point
Monitor plow, then put on fifty
baahel* cotton seed,and sowed four
■■d a half bushels clean rust
proof oats, then plowed
thaw In with the
plow, and put on one 2ff(>
Mt«fc of guano, and then
them in. I cut ninety-four
fwm that acre,
threshed out one hundred and one
bosh els. I am going to try for l-<>
hasbels next year.
Tallapoosa Tappings,
Specially Reported by Quffp.
Editor Frkk Pukss : An old Car-
rollite, recently a citizen of New
Tallapoosa, desires to say a few
words for the place of his new resi
dence and its people. No Mr. Edi
tor if you will permit, here we go:
Our little mushroom village is
certainly on a boom. We have
eleven business houses and others
going up. Strangers are daily com
ing in seeking and making invest
ments. ()ur streets present a scene
of busy life, pictured with loaded
cotton wagons, poultry, game, and
in fact all the products of the field
and forest. The lumber trade here
is extensive, there being in the
town and in close proximity sev
eral mills in successful operation,
affording to the owners a handsome
revenue.
The magnificent pine forests bor
dering the town, furnishes a supply
of timber, well nigh iinoxhaustible,
| and many years will pass before
, , , any appreciable scarcity of lumber
1 ! material will be observable.
Our population is a thrifty and
j industrious one, embracing almost
every department of human indus
try. Here we have the laborer and
the scientist, the vendor of wares
and tlie dispenser of benzine, rock
ing along smoothly and harmoni
ously together, each striving with
might and main to promote the
other’s interest, with the motto gra
ven on tlie common shield: “Peace
on earth and good will toward
men.” True enough, once in a
while some of the hoys become en
gaged in a fisticuff with bold .1.
Barley-corn, in which contest the
latter gentleman usually comes out
first best, hut then, these things in
variably occur wherever the “pi-
zen is distributed. “Old Tallapoo
sa” is some three- fouths of a mile
distant, and has also an intelligent
and progressive citizenship, and
both towns are under the same
municipal control.
The iron horse, the common de
veloper of ail countries, has certain
ly bestowed immeasurable bles
sings upon this particular section,
and all our citizens should bless
and venerate the hand that first
put in motion the project of con
necting the coat fields of Alabama
with the Gate City of Georgia.
