WEEKLY ! TIMES. BY FOUCUE d J 011 X SOW J. A. FOUCUE. Editor. Entered at thepostoffice at McDonough Ga., a? ifecond-class mail matter. = McDonouom. Ga., Nov. 13, 1891. DtrTCH TOWN. As we have! seen nothing in The Weekly frorat this neighborhood for quite a while, jund, thinking perhaps a few lines from tVie pen of one of your niost “talented n\ riters” would be high ly appreciated, w| e have, therefore, “set about’’ and “mu! -tered up” our old, rusty pen, ny*t y ink-horn and a dusty sheet of la/h c.- t p for the express pur pose oLs u jl u g your readers for a ' few ar^ least—with something “spicy, rare , Hch and racy.” In order to de this, there is perhaps nothing that we kn ow of that would interest them more , than to give them a brief sketch of Our Travels. Although we have nevi )r viaited St. Peter’s Lathe dral, Th< , liuins of Pompeii, nor The Pyramid B j n Egypt, and there may lie other pi 4ceg 0 f uote that we have not seen, bu twe certainly liave visitefl Aorth ( Georgia recently. On t he 22nd ult. at 6:30 o’clock a. “•» we boarded the train at Lovejoy en route t 0 the mountains of North Geor- £ la - IVe arrived in Atlanta in due * ,me ’ and took passage on the W. & A-ro ad for Marietta. All went mer ry as a marriage bell, with the excep tion ( jf one old toper with a red nose, who had evidently “took on” too much benzine, and seemed to have taken quit* j a fancy to all the “little folks” 011 * he train, much to the annoyance of “*®i r mothers. At last, however, the C° n ductor came to his assistance, and car< -fully conducted him down the steps f° f i convenient place on the ground. Th en —as HU) Arp says—“all was Cft l m and sereue.” When we arrived at Marietta we were informed by the nductor that we had nearly three ho urs to stay before the next train wt mid “pull out’’ for Ellijay. So—by ut iug the phrase in common parlance -we proceeded uptake in the town.” (arietta is a beautiful city, with a pop ulation of about 20,000. The Kene s aw mountains are in close proxitnity ) a ,ud can bo seen from the city. It pre f ents quite au attractive appearance. The scenery is grand indeed! “All aboard for Ellijay,” yelled the Conductor, and soon we were speeding our way on the Marietta and North Georgia toward Ellijay. The most at tractive scene that we witnessed while on this road was near Canton.—Of course you must not think we mean Canton, China, but Canton, Georgia. — The scene is indescribable. It was a streak of fire extending along the side of the mountain for two or three miles in almost a perfect paralel line, or at least it seemed so to us. We met several old acquaintances on the ship—train we mean —among whom were Dr. Yankersley, of Kllijay, a Mr. Beaty, of the same place, who was on his return from North Western Texas. He says Texas is a good coun try, but North Georgia is good enough for him. We also met Mr. G. W Tankerslev, the clever and ac commodatiug baggage-master on this train. We met many others also, that we knew, but we can’t consume time in telling you all we knew, for of course we know almost everybody, and everybody knows us, but what of that ? Pshaw that’s nothing! At 9p. m. the silence was broken by the porter’s musical yell—“ Kllijay” So we took up our grip sack, and wended our way to the home of our parents, to speud the remainder of the uighL After satisfying the inner man ax the elegaut table of our pareuts and a nights rest, we walked out to take a view of the surroundings. We met many good friends here, among whom were Jasper Poindexter, Dr. J. R. Johnson, G. W. Gates and a host of others. Ellijay is a beautiful little city, sit uated near the confluence of the Kllijay and Cartecay rivers. It is quite a bus iness place. Several new enterprises are located there. Among them are the Evan’s Land and Lumber Compa ny’s mills located near the Cartecay river. There is also a large spoke fac tory erected and in operation, and sev eral other enterprises are spoken of to gether, with a large tannery consisting of a capital of SGO.OOO. Those hills and mountains uear Ellijay are said by expert Mineralogists, to contain iuex haustable quantities of mineral of va rious kinds; and when its mineral re sources are fully developed it is des tined to become the “Birmingham” of Georgia. During our sojourn we passed by the old homestead—the place of our birth. The sun was just setting wheu we passed, and every thing was so qui et and still, that the old familiar song “Oh, my old cottage home!” reverted to our memory at once, aud for awhile we felt lonely and sad, but this did not last long, for we spent the night with a kind-hearted uncle who always looks upon the bright tide of life and U al ways cheerful and Content. We had the jleasureof spending a day with an aged relative—Elisha De- Boyd—while in North Georgia. Un cle ’Lisha, as he is familiarly called, is very intelligent, and possesses a mem ory that can’t be excelled by any one of his age. lie has, by industry, econ omy and strict attention to business, amassed a snug little fortune, ft was very interesting to us to hear him re late incidents that occurred in his “boy hood days.” When and how they used to market their tobacco, and many other incidents too numerous to men tion. There were no railroads in those days, and a good wagon cost about S3OO dollars. “I can remember,” said he, “the first mule I ever saw. A rich man, living in the city, owned a farm near by, and came after his rent corn, lie drove a mule, and the neighbors for several miles around came to see it. I imagined before I saw it,” said he, “that it was something like a corn sheller. One old lady said it was the ‘cutest-long-yeared-critter she ever seed.’ Said it looked ‘very like a boss, only more so.’ ” Uncle Elisha is now left a widower. Aunt Mary, his wife, has crossed over the darksome river. He has erected a beautiful brick house over her remains, which cost, perhaps, six or seven hun dred dollars. Inside of this house is a couch, a pillow, and chair ; also a Bible aDd seme newspapers. This eccentric though good old man, spends many hours by the side of his wife’s grave. There is a tombstone erected to her memory, with her epitaph engraved there on, and, side by side is another toombstone erected just like the first, containing his epitaph; though he is still living and bids fair to live many years yet. Now, Mr. Editor, pardon us for mo nopolizing so much space, and com« a whole day with us, and we’ll treat — treat you, not on “mountain dew,” but “mountain chestnuts,” and the old “’oman” will tly around and kill a chicken and spread the new table cloth and the napkins, and—and—. Say, will you come? Don Juan. Nov. 9th. MONT ST. JKAN. Cotton continues to go up—on the down train. Lige Oglesby passed our place ol business the other day driving the fiu est young horse we know of. Jeff Bowden spent the day with us last week. It was our pleasure to visit East Lovejoj last week, and we found Rev. G. A. Hill doing a line busines. We also had the pleasure of looking over clever 'Pom McVicker’s furniture while there. He has a good stock on hand, and is selling low down for cash. You can do no better than to trade with him, when you need anything in his line. That ever genial geutleman, Gus Mitcham, is ever ready to wait on his customers. Mrs. Tom Greer is quite sick at this writing, and her friends hope for her speedy recovery. John Payne went down to his new home at Indian Springs to sow some wheat last week. There is a long ways more graiu be ing sown this fall than has been done before in ten years This is a reform that should have been begun long be fore this. The young folks enjoyed a candy pulling at Capt. Pope’s last Friday flight. Hus Rowan is sowing down some of his fine bottom lands in wheat. Mr. Frank Holloway has made a good crop of corn and cotton, and has picked enough away from home to pay for the ginning of his own crop—and he doesn’t belong to the alliance, eith er. Mr. Joe Carm’chael is sowing ten acres of graiu to the horse, if we mis take not. John and Tom Pendley took in the Piedmont exposition last week. K. I’. Mays and clever A. J. Conkle will go to the annual conference of the M. P. church next Thursday. Mrs. Tom Fields and son Tom visi ted the family of Mr. Jim Fields, of Greenwood, last Saturday. We are proud to note that Mr. Sam uel Mays is improving. Mr. 11 W. Carmichael is selling a site of good corn and delivering it at 75 cents per bushel. When it comes to farming and c'everuess Harvey can’t be excelled. Jeff Lewis has gathered eight bales of cotton off of ten acres of laud. Mr. J. T. Fields has employed a , young lady from Cartersville to give ! his daughter music lessons. We failed to learn her name, but she comes high ly recommended. Clever Lum Fields, of Griffiu, was up Sunday, riding with his best girl. Rev Patrick, of Hampton, preached a fine sermon last Sunday at Mt. Car mel M. P. church. We regret to note Mr. Tom Turner is on the sick list. Your scribe had the misfortune to lose a tine horse last Tuesday morning. He passed off about 11 o’clock. J. T. Lewis and lady received an in vitation to attend the marriage of his uucle at Austin, Texas, last Thursday. Old Guard. The best medical authoritiessay the proper way to treat catarrh is to take a constitutional remedy, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla. nAcitHn t«> the wtcstoitv or r.IXMtK. K!U„ To that lone place where friends and foes Together sleep among the dead, Where loved ones find a sweet repose, We wend our way with silent tread. With tear dimmed eyes, our grief remains ; In oensive mood we linger near The new-made grave that now contains The lovely form ofT’annie—dear. At that new grave—that sacred tomb — lit spring-time’s beauty -liall appear Sweet, fiagiant flowers, In vernal bloom. As emblems of our love for her. Her hand arrangnd for festive joy Our humble home ; her voice did cheer ; Sweet, harmless mirth she did ctnpl >y To banish every gathering tear. Her songs to us were sweet relief; Like Angel's music, day by dav. They often soothed our rising grief And cuused our gloom to pass away. Farewell ! dear Fannie—sweetly rest Thy lovely form Iront toil and pain, ’Till we in Heaven, among (he blessed, Shall see thy lovely self again. Lovejoy, Ga., Nov. Bth. G. A Hill. Catarrh, Not Local, But Conatllutlon al. I)r. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician, in a magazine article says : ‘ A radical error underlies nearly all medical treatment of catarrh. It ia not a disease of the man’s nose ; it is a dis ease of the mau. showing itself in the nose—a Local exhibition of a Consti tutional trouble.” Therefore, he ar gues, the use of snuff and other local applications is wrong, and while they seen to give temporary relief, they really do more harm than good. Oth er leading authorities agree with Dr. Lewis, lienee, the only proper meth od of cure for catarrlt is by taking a constitutional remedy like Hood’s Sar saparilla, which, reaching every part of the body through the blood, does elimi nate all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane to proper condition. That this is the practical result is proven by thousands of people who have been cured of catarrh by taking Hood’s Sar saparilla. ROCKY CREEK. News unusually scarce this week. Farmers are busy sowing wheat. There will be a large crop sown in this community. That’s what we need. Who can live and raise cotton at seveu cents ? and buy meat, corn and flour, besides other necessities that could and should he raised at home ? J. 11. McVicker bought seventy-five acres of land from A. I). Martin this week. VV. T. Bernhard invested in seventy acres of land on the same place. - W. F. .Jones took iu the Exposition this week. A. D.

Camp, President of Clay ton couuty Alliance, is expected to meet Hampton Alliance the third Sat urday in this month. We urge every member to attend that meeting. Other brethren from neighboring lodges also expected. Mrs. 11. H. Parham, after spending several weeks at Flippeu, returned home last Saturday. J. H. McVicker attended the Flip pen Alliauce last Saturday. We think the Piedmont Exposition came near committing suicide when it contracted with Bolossy Kiralf to ex hibit “King Solomon, or the Destruc tion of lerusalem,” within its portals. We hope the Exposition directors have learned, by experience, that the virtue loving citizenship of our fair southland will not tolerate nor patronize any thing that borders as near to indecency, immorality and sacrilige as the above mentioned Frtnch show. H. 11. Greer went down to Flippen Saturday. W. T. Bernhard, aud family, visited near Flippen Saturday and Sunday, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Haud. Nov. 7th.
