CARROLLTON, GA., Full. 8, 1884
W. O. Tuggle is in Washington
tugging away at a $20,000 claim of
Georgia against uncle Sam, for
money spent in the Creek ancl
other Indian wars 70 years ago.
Mr. Mat Cole of Newnan is dan
gerously ill and the Herald says
that serious apprehensions are felt
- no-to the result.
The Newnan Herald is agitating
the building of a railroad from
Newnan to Franklin, and says in
its last issue that the people of
Heard county are aroused to the
importance of such a road.
A correspondent of the Haralson
Banner writing to that paper from
Draketown says: “A mad dog on
the street, Monday, created quite a
stir. He ‘took in, the town and ex
hibited unmistakable evidence of
the malady. He was followed out
of town by a number of ‘braves
Who killed him. He bit no one.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution writing from New
York says that the Thomas Seney
syndicate, who now control the
Memphis & Charleston railroad
proposes to connect it with the
Georgia Pacific at some point west
of Birmingham.
The grand jury of Haralson coun
ty recommend, in their late pre
sentments, that the ordinary do not
grant any more license to retail li
quor in that county, and that the
proper steps be taken by which the
citizens of the county can vo*<e U p_
on its abolition from
Miss Alice, daughter of yj[ r . N. T.
BuUoylp, ^ Dallas, flea from her
IfOBij? last week and joined her lov-
ei?, Mr. Charles Well*, a t Rome,
and was married to him. Mr. Wells
was a resident of Dallas last sum
mer, and the Couple formed an at
tachment f or t»ach other then, but
the par e U t s 0 f the yong couple dis-
co uraged a marriage and forbade
the young man’s visit to their
house.
The West Point Enterprise in an
article on the opening of the Chatta
hoochee river to navaga.tion, says;
At all events, on” river is to be
opened as high U p a s Franklin, if
no further "phe Chattahoochee nav
igating C6 of this place, will soon
*I.ave boats running daily to
that place. It has already opened
a channel as far up as Bentlej s
mill. The most of Heard county’s
next cotton crop will be brought
down the river, at very cheap
ra t,es—there is no doubt about this.
Our enterprising little city lias the
right to feel cheerful over her
bright future, and Franklin has the
same cause for rejoicing, for with
the river as a cheap outlet, she will
grow’ prosperous and happy.
The Haralson Banner gives the
following sensible advice to tlie
•people of Haralson county about
their pine timber: “We would say
to the people who own pine land
in Haralson county to save it. We
know’ of no county in the state that
has any better pine timber, nor as
much to the size of the county.
There is a day coming, and it is not
far distant, when men who have
their timber, will not regret heed
ing to the above admonition. We
have already one railroad, and it
has already taken thousands of your
pines 1 to Atlanta and other points;
and we predict that w’ithin five
years from to-day, another railroad
will run through our county,
which will open a new field for
lumbering. Ifyouliavea fine lot
of pine timber, then you will be
accessible to many points w here
your lumber will be in demand.
It is true, that many want to clear
up their land, and you are wise in
doing so, but you should make use
of the timber that is in your en
closures and save that which is
outside. We also advise farmers
who have not set out orchards of
apple trees to do so at once. Our
county has the reputation of being
the best or equal to any county in
the state, for apples. If you have a
good orchard, you have a source to
look to, without depending on the
all cotton system for money. Ap
ples are alw ays a ready sale in Co
lumbus and other South Georgia
cities, at one and one-half to two
dollars per bushel. The cost of
sending them there w ill be but a
mere trifle when the railroad from
Rome to Columbus is completed.
Now from a small orchard of two
acres, a farmer can gather 150 to 200
bushels, which will readily bring
300 dollars, taking out cost of send
ing them to market. Can you
make enough eotton to bring that
amount of money as easily? Try
the apple system and see.
Through the public spirit of a
few citizens of Fairburn, who rais
ed the necessary amount by
private 1 subscription, to pay the
salarv of the teacher, the school at
that place has been made public to
al who wish to attend.

Khitoh Fkkk iiijoss:—In accor
dance with my promise,' 1 write you
j this letter.
I .Vs you are aware we left Car-
I rollton on the morning of Novem
ber 20th, 1883. Got to Newnan ; 8 a.
in, where we lay over till 4 p. m,
when we took an emigrant train
for New Orleans, w here we chang
ed cars for Houston, and then
again changed for Mel lade, where
we arrived 3! 4 o’clock, p. m. No
vember 22.
Saw many things interesting on
the way. In passing through Louis
iana, saw oranges from the bloom
to fruit, palm fans growing, fields
of ribbon cane that made us think
we had never seen syrup raised be
fore. It was -summer there and
everything was beautiful, to be
hold, and if our tickets had not
beeen marked McDade, would have
stopped I guess. But tlie old wo
man said, go on, and if we did not
like we could come back. So we
moved on.
Now r about this part of Texas:
The climate is mild the land pro
ductive and easily cultivated, the
timber low and thin, the water
sorry,but will do to drink, there are
but few wells and but little run
ning water. The most of the wai
ter is tank, that is water caught
by damming up the gullie-' ^nd
catching the rain, as it ' uns 0 ff_
This is very good ’> ate V We are
drinking sulphu- wate rfrom a well
that we like oe pter than any we
have dra; lk yet
^ must not expect to find a
l^ r .ice where everything is just like
\ve want it to be, for we will never
find it, for we never will beneath
the heavens.
Mr. Editor you spoke of McDa-
de’s Christmas frolic. There were
three men lynched at McDade
Christmas eve night, and three shot
Christmas day, but they were a set
of dare devils of the Jesse James
stripe and it w r as for the good of the
country,the three were lynched and
in self defence the three were shot.
There were some good men woun
ded and one killed, but the parties
that were not killed on both sides
have bee n arrested and bound over
in $1,500 bonds, and the rod are in
jail. We have some as good citizens
as Geoi gia can boast.
This is the best stock country we
ever saw. There are cows here that
will weigh 200 pounds to the quar
ter, that would not eat a shuck,
and hogs that would run from
corn. Pork is 5 cents per pound
and slow sale at that.
Now if there is anybody that
wants to come to Texas, let them
come and take the country as they
find it, and they will be satisfied.
But my advice is come and see be
fore you move, if you wish to leave
old Carroll.
W. C. Mobley.
McDade, Texas, Jan. 28th 1884.

Levying on a Calaboose.
Luke Smith controls a fi fa
against the town of Monroe, and for
five years has been trying to get
the money on it. It is said that he
has eleeted not less than a half doz
en different tickets for municipal
honors, with the understanding that
his fi fa was to be paid eff, but as
rumor has it the commissioners
have invariably giveii him the cold
shoulder when they were safefy
landed into office. Last W’eek this
plan was abandoned and “Kirby”
ordered the sheriff levy on the cal
aboose and the street lamp. This
was done, and the town is minus a
prison, besides being in the dark.
Sheriff Ammons has locked the cal
aboose and pocketed the key, and
has removed the street lamps to a
room in the old jail where they are
secure under lock and key. Luke
says that every pick, shovel and
hoe will be levied on whenever the

worked.

The Leading Family Paper

The hold which this beautifully illus

due entirely to the real worth of its va

the people to rend them. It takes
Ten Tons of Paper Every Week to Print it

times twenty thousand persons anxionsly
wait its weekly coming.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of The Sun
ave gone out of our establishment
during the past twelve months.
If you were to paste end to eml all the.
columns of all The Suns printed and sold
ist year you would get a continuous
strip of interresting information, common
sense, wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
it long enough to reach from Printing
House square to the top of Mount Cop
ernicus in the moon, then back to Print
ing House square, and then tliree-qiuirters
of the way hack to the moon again .
But The Sun is written for the inhabit
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe
tweuty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father has spent another hour, this news
paper in 1883 has afforded the human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
ending, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like
these that you can form any idea of the
irculatiou of the most popular of Ameri-

opinions and actions of American men
and women.

newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
osts, which presents the news of all the
world without waste of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause of honest
govemient, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know the Sun, you like it al
ready, and you will read it with accustom
ed dilligenee and profit during what is
sure to be the most interesting year in its
history, if you do not yet know the Sun
it is high time to get in the sunshine,
