The man who admired the beautiful
snow has got enough at last.
The mud and slush make it anything
but pleasant under foot.
A few weeks ago it was too much
politics, now it is too much weather.
Dr. M. J. Dudley, our Representa
tive, left Tuesday night for the CapL
tal.
The candidate is no longer abroad
in the land, and we have peace once
more.
Since Uncle Sam. is issuing specie
small change old-fashioned long purses
are slowly comfng into usejagain.
Col. Joe. McConnell is having a
handsome and commodious residence
reared on his place just out of town.
Rabbit hunting was the chief sport
during the snow, and every hunter us
ually brought back as many as he
could carry.
The newest style dresses are flat be
hind, the horrid bustle having entirely
departed The ladies can now sit down
whenever they choose.
Mr. Hightower is at his old quarters
again,having given up the Calhoun Ho
tel on the first of the year.
Our farmers say that unless some
heavy freezes follow the snow, the wheat
crop when harvested will repay us well
for the aunoyance this weather has
caused us. There is a fair prospect for
a heavy crop, as a good quantity of
seed is in the ground.
The new Town Council met and or
ganized Monday night by electing Mark
Moore. Chairman; P. A. Summey,
Chairman pi o tern. ; Dr. R W. Thorn
ton, Secretary; C. 0. Harlan, Treas..
urer;Jas. W. Jackson, Chairman Street
Committee; P. A Summey, Chairman
Finance Committee; Dr. R. W Thorn
ton, Chairman Committee on Ordi*
nances, &c.
The following gentlemen were elect
ed County Commissioners on the first
Wednesday in this month, and we feel
ootifident will make a first rate board,
End will look i.fter the county’s inter
ests as vigilantly as any whom the vo
ters of the county could have chosen :
N. J. Boaz, C. H. Barrett, I. M. Fite,
J. B. Gordon and M. V. Watts. Only
two of these— Messrs. Watts and Goi>
don—are members of the retiiing
board.
The election for Magistrate and
Coustables for the 849th district last
Saturday was a rather lively contest. —
The candidates for Magistrate were
Samuel Pu'liaui, N. H. McGinnis, G.
W. Ransone and Aaron Roff. There
were about as many candidates for Con
stables. The following was the result:
Magistrate—Aaron Roff; Constables—
L. A. L. Boisclair and John Ilndgins.
The election for T>-wn Council oc
curred the same day, and the following
was successful out of several tickets in
the field: R. W. Thornton, M. A
Moore, J. W. Jackson, P. A. Snmmey
and C. 0. Harlan.
Our new county officers will soon re
ceive their commissions trom the Govo
ernor and enter upon their duties. Col.
E J. Kiker, the Ordinary elect, has
won quite a yietory, having in opposi
tioo some of the very best men of the
county, the old Ordinary, Mr. Neel,
who proved his most formidable oppo
nent, included. Mr. Kiker enters the
office fully prepared to execute his du
ties. with which he is by careful study
thoroughly familiar. The voters of
the county have placed their confidence
in him, and we feel sure the same will
not be betrayed. Our new Clerk proves
to bo the old one. Mr. Reeves’ official
record was such as to defeat by a large
majority two worthy opponents. Mr.
laylor, as Sheriff will, we believe make
a vigilant and capable officer R. C.
Mizell was elected Tax Collector over
several competitors, Mr. Norton, who
was again a candidate, held the office
for several terms. v. E. Jones was
elected Tax Receiver by a *inall ma
joiity, which is likely to prove a wise
choice. J. W. Marshall is the new
Treasurer A joung men possessing
every capacity for so responsible a po
sition, he is likely to prove a faithful
guardian of our finances. His oppo
nents were excellent men. If tin s ■
gentlemen will combine their efforts
they can soon develops systematic or
der of things iu our county ur-tiers,
and we trust they will so discharge
their dut.es as to furnish good exam
ples for those who may hereafter fol
low them in office.

We have lately received Vick’s Flo
ral Guide, for 1877, and in common
with all into whose possession it 'falls,
are ready to pronounce it a valuable
and attractive little work. A chroino
frontispiece ‘‘A Summer Bouquet,” adds
to the other attractions, and the infor
mation it contains in regard to the care
and culture of flowers is worth much
to those whose ideas have a floral ten
dency. The Guide is issued quarterly
at 25 cents a year. Write for it to
James Vick, Rochester, N. Y.
The Calhoun Hotel is now under the
proprietorship of Mr. S. Atkin, late of
Newton county, Ga., he having taken
charge for 1877. Mr. Ais a man of
affable mauner,neither does he lack that
spirit of enterprise which is sure to win
for his house a standard rep"tation. As
Mr. Atkin designs making this his home
for the future, we trust he may receive
the good will of our community, and
that our citizens will extend to him and
his family the cordial welcome they de
serve.
Having recently stopped at that ex
cellent hotel, the Duff Green House, at
Dalton, we feel no hesitancy in recom
mending it *o any of our friend? who
may at any time chance to travel that
way. Travelers can rely upon being
furnished with good meals aud all the
comforts ot a well kept house. Mrs.
J. C. Ackerman is the proprietress
and Mr. W. A. Marschalk, business
manager. Advertisement of this
house will be found in the T.MES.
We call attention to the card of W.
W. Richards elsewhere. Having cho
sen the law as his profession, passing
a creditable examination on being ad
mitted at the last regular term of our
Superior Court, he is likely to become
at perhaps do distant day a successful
attorney. Yet young in years, and in
his calling we trust he may receive the
encouragement that will enable him to
reach the goal of his aspirations.

Editor Calhoun limes :
Below I give you the weights of five
Berkshire pigs, nine months and four
days old, killed by me on the 19th of
December last, having been pigged on
the 15th of March. These pigs have
Qot eaten exceeding four pounds of
corn or meal each per day, and I doubt
if they have three, but I know not
more than four, including the feed of
the sour, while the nigs were sucking,
until they were six weeks old, from the
time they were pigged to the day they
were killed. Their gross weights were
as follows : 235,270, 275, 290 and 311,
Total gross weight, 1,381 pounds. Nett
weight: 200, 230, 240, 245 and 253
Total nett weight, 1,168 pounds. Their
average gross weight was 276 1-5 lbs
Their average nett weight was 233 3-5
lbs., being one pound of gross weight
for each day they were old. Below I
give you the account:
DR.
274 days feeding, 20 lbs. corn
per day,equal to 98 bushels,
at 40 cts. per bushel, $39.20.
CR.
1,168 lbs. of pork, at 7 cents
per lb., $81.76.
A balance of $42.56
The cost of raising and fattening the
above pork was a very small fraction
over 3+ cts. per lb. nett, and the pork
was of superior quality. You will per
ceive that they lost from gross to nett
weight scarcely one sixth of a pound,and
one fifth is a remarkably small loss for
really well fattened pork.'
Very respectfully,
Wm. 11. Bonner.
