A Whitfield County farmer is claim- i ing 1500 bushels of corn from 30 acres. Fruit and vegetables are wastefully abundant here now, and but little mar ket. The property last sale day went dirt cheap, but most of it was sold for per fection of titles. i Cotton blooms, tomatoes, early corn, etc., are reported so numerously, that we have forgotten about this being a late season.

Daltnn people had as well realize that there are no Aladins these days, to charm railroads into ex istence. A lew days ago we were shown by S. M. Morgan, of this place, Irish potato \ ines with well developed potatoes grow ing on every branch of the top vines. They came from a patch that yielded at the rate of about 400 bushels to the acre.

I thought it was a stumble on Stephens; but when the Colonel was about to put the question as to whether everybody was pleased with our Jud Clemant’s record, and wanted him nominated again, Col. Star, of the Times, wanted a rising vote, an enthusiastic pitch to close up with. It was quickly seconed, and Col. L. had the resolution read, and put it to the house. About one-third of them riz! The colonel, thinking there was a trace loose somewhere, had the eulogy pronounced again, and told all in favor to rise. And about one-third of them riz! It began to look as if there was a bus- j ted buckle somewhere sure and the pon- I derous voice of the massive lunged Sec retary emphasized the words of praise again. “Now all in favor of the resolution en dorsing Mr. Clemants, stand up,” sim plified the chairman. And about one-third of them riz! But the Colonel was not to be out-done. ; lie transfigurated the proposition, so : that all who favored the resolution could i ; sit, and they sat, unanimously.

There are twenty-five prisoners in the county work-house. The walking match was our chief Fourth of July celebration. There are twenty-eighty persons in the city jail. Twenty-three are males. Over $3,000,000 is invested in manu facturingenterprises at Chattanooga, $2.- 900,000 of which is in the iron interests. More than 3,000 hands are employed in the various manufactories. Mrs. Ricks, of Riceville, who became insane over the death of her child, was taken through the city yesterday to the asylum. River men report a most extraordi nary steady boating tide this season. One of the oldest of them said yesterday that more wheat would come to Chatta nooga from below Kingston this year than had been realized in all the last four years together. The corn market is at present very dull, there being scarcely any demand except locally. Receipts are very light and prices are stiff, and have risen some what since last week, being now the same as for wheat. The wheat market is still quiet and dull, the demand not having developed as yet. A few small lots of new wheat i continue to arrive, and bring from SI.OO ■ to $1.05 per bushel,.but there have as yet been no shipments. Hay and oats market very dull, the demand being very light and receipt, 1 likewise. No new oats have yet come i into market. | Flour continues to decline, and pres- decline t flKSSlfii .

I re- c the jolly, good natured Bob An- - derson, superintendent of the W. & A. 1 R. R., than whom, none have been more 1 successful in the good opinions of em- ’ ployees, or more deserving in their ad- ' vancement. i Robt. A. Anderson was born in Henry 1 county, this state, October 3, 1833, and I 1 come to Dalton with his father, John An- \ ’ derson, one of our prominent old timers, j in the spring of 1847. Bob received his education in thejittle old log academy, j where the lillies and the rushes used to grow, which stood near where the fe male college is now located. After a few years divided between the school I room and his fathers store, he opened a I store at Kings Bridge, this county, where as he once told me, he made nothing but a reputation as the crack rifle shot of the neighborhood, as he had I ample time to practice between chills, for this country then, could out shake a Wabash settlement. In 1856, Mr. Anderson, growing rest less of an easy going, non-progressive life, obtained a clerkship in the W. & A. depot in Chattanooga, under Gen. Wm. Bishop, who was at that t ime agent. So faithfully did he perform the duties as signed him that he became a fixture in the office. In those days when politics and not ! merit ruled the appointments to posi- I tions on the State road, it was a rare oc currence for an employee to retain his i position for more than one administra- ■ tion, but so faithfully and accurately I did he discharge his duties, and so fa miliar did he become with its rules and regulations, governing the workings of the road, that each incoming agent found it advisable to retain him; in other words, he did exactly what all young men startling out in life should strive to do—that is make so useful that your employer “cannot do without you.” Mr. Anderson was made assistant agent at Chattanooga in 1860 which po sition he held up to the evacuation of j Chattanooga by Gen. Bragg. He took j charge of the records and papers of his ■ office and established himself in a box j car, thus making an office on wheels, and fell back with the army of Gen. Jo seph E. Johnson, performing the duties of an officer of the road, until the evacu ation of Atlanta, by Gen. Hood, when he went into the engineer corps, and was l assigned to duty in Macon. After the fury of war had passed, be returned with the books and papers of of his office to Chattanooga, having been appointed agent at that place by Col. Robt. Bangle superintendent of the W. A A. railroad, which position he held for four months, when he resigned to ac cept the Atlanta agency of the Macon & Western railroad, under Col. E. B. Wal ker, superintendent, who for years was the efficient master of transporation of the W. & A. railroad, and well knew the worth and abilities of Mr. A., as a railroad official. i He held the position of agent of the i M. A W. R. R., until January 1870, when his health became so bad that he was forced to resign, and at the suggestion , of his physician, went to Florida, hoping ' in that mild climate to regain the strength and vigor that he had lost by a series of years of constant labor and excitement, though when his friends ' bid him farewell on his departure, it was with the sad belief that his race was run and his mission finished, but to their glad surprise he soon recovered and returned with a new lease of life. In the meantime the “wheel of for tune” had again revolved and his old friend Col. E. B. Walker was again oc cupying the position of master of trans portation of W. A A. R. R., and he again called his favorite lieutenant to $ service as general freight agent, also act ing as assistant-general freight agent of N, A C. R. R. He soon resigned the position of as sistant-general freight agent of the N. A C. R. R., to devote his entire time to *' the discharge of his duties as general ■ freight agent of the W. A A. R. R., j which responsible position he held up to the date of the resignation of general manager, Wm. Macßae, who might properly be termed the “Stonewall Jack- n son” of railroad officers. • At a call meeting of the directors of ? the W. AA. R. R., Mr. Anderson was ‘ unanimously elected superintendent to A fill the vacancy caused by the resigna tion of Gen. Macßae, which responsible position he now fills with credit to him self and to the entire satisfaction of the * management of the road. Perhaps no railroad official in the south A is so generally beloved by his associates n and subordinates, as Superintendent Anderson. N While he is modest, unassuming, afla- cc ble and polite in his intercourse with all vet he is firm and unyielding in fore- ing a compliance with all orders tt and regulations affecting the in c terest and safety of the company. There w were few better boys than Bob Anderson, y or more deserving men. ai **• •’ The only person, so far as I know, ever burned to death, io Dalton, was a young lady attending the old academy referred to above, by the name of Miss The academy stood in a wild thicket of pines, and just beyond the college, was a branch, grown up in wa ter lilies, flags and rushes, which fur- l ni&hed water for quite a duck pond. 1 The school pupils were wont to gather the eggs dropped in the pond by the flock of ducks, and it was while roasting one of them in the wide fire place that the young lady’s dress caught fire, and she 1 was so alarmed as to run ont into the oj>en air, when the flames covered her body, burning her so that she | ' lingered but a few hours in horrible agony. But for some of the young men at school catching and wrapping her in their overcoats she would have burned to death as she ran in her fright. *** As ihe young ladies, now graduating withiu the walls of our handsome col lege, will, in after years look back upon its every familiar surrounding, with va rious emotions, so now, do hundreds of Dalton young people of the olden time, when reverting back to the happiness and crosses of youth. There in the old log cabin, with a pride of good doing equal to the first colleges of the state of to-day, with the good old Presbyterian missionary and his wife as teachers, both men and women, that have done Dalton honor, in peace and war, in church and state, were educated—at least, completed, so far as school train ing went. May it ever remain the ideal spot of Dalton memory. *** And while I’m meditative, a sad expe rience of a few evenings since comes to mind. I was sitting with my girl midst the perfumed profusion of clinging wood bines, on the portico, close to the walk of a shady avenue, and yet, in the sweet density of our seclusion, we could hear the small talk of the promenading cou ples, as they exchanged confidences, told white fibs of love, and giggled in mysterious hysterics. One couple that had stood the others off, and was mak ing a short stop base of our immediate front attracted the attention of my “ither self,” and “Shexclaimed she, “Let us hear their nonsense.” The young fellow was mumbling inaudibly, as if he was taking a turn at the girl’s chewing gum, while she, as if swinging on the back yard gate, gave full vent to a pair of robust lungs. I remember how I fainted for modesty sake, when the fel lows melodious charmer exclaimed, “No, sir; you can’t hug me to-night,” and how my own sweet girl asked me if I was ill, and with foived melancholy thought we had better go in out of the chill, damp night air. I went with shiv ering humility, but felt as if I was trying to freeze in a fiery furnace. Rob Random. Snud»y School Association.
