Mrs. Deliza Elizabeth, wife of our

Arthur, has been an invalid for the
pa t eleven years, having never been
able to walk a step since she first took
her bed. Sho is the daughter of
Esquire James Russell, of this county,
and much money has been expended
in attempting to administer relief to
this unfortunate and afflicted one, bu t
evety effort has been attend and with
hut little success, and she now lingers
upon the bed of affliction. She pro
Gsses Christianity, and is always glad
to welcome visitors into her room, and
knowing how prone the generality of
people are to neglect such obscure ones
we would, therefore, recommend her to
tho sympathy of the ladies of our
town and county.
Gordon county is now shipping tim

sand feet of lumber, which is intended
for shipment to Liverpool this month
and lor which they will receive twenty
five dollars a thousand. The lumber is
to be white-oak, and we noticed some
of the massive timbers loaded on the
cars which measured near thirty feet
in length, in width 16 inches, and in
thickness four inches. The firm are
notified they will receive more orders if
this one is filled satisfactorily. The
opinion is the lumber is intended for
*fiip building, and who knows hut
Bomq of our timbevs may go into the
eastern war vessels. Gordon county
has some ©f the finest timbers in the
world, and in white oak, hickory, wal
out, ash, &<*., it will compare with any.
AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.
A Hasty Glance at Resaca.
On Monday we boarded the cars, at
Calhoun, and before we were comforta
bly into a seat, “off breaks” was whis
tled, and we were borne easily through
the bridge over the Oostanaula into the
village of Resaca. But we are inclined
to prefer a fifteen minutes’ ride on the
railroad. Resaca !—pray, what is there
here to demand one’s attention ? Why
sirs, do you see that fort on the emi
nence to the left 1 and those trenches
coursing the hillsides ? That upturned
earth marks the spot where a little
more than twelve years ago the missiles
of destruction did their mighty work,
and the bones of the victims of a great
struggle now repose in a lonely ceme
tery near by, where lovely hands an.,
nually offer humble tribute to their
memory. But since the smoke of civil
revolution has vanished from the hori
zon man must build up the waste places
and shape the destiny of the country,
and the minds of the people of Resaca
to-day evidently never recur to the
history of its suiroundings, but unite
in the object of a promotion of indi
vidual and public prosperity, and
through the enterprise of a few go
ahead citizens have made considerable
headway. The census of Resaca, we
opine would not reach 250, yet her cit
izens have as much to brag of as some
more pretentious neighbors. Both the
Methodists and Baptists here have com
modious and comfortable churches, and
the latter particularly, looks quite at
tractive and exceeds in design and fin'
ish the the one at our own town.—
There is at present also a good school
here, numbering between forty and fit*
ty scholars, under the management of
Mr. Oliver Starr, of this county, a
young man of pleasing address and fair
scholarly attainments, and though his
school has been in operation but a few
weeks only, he is quite popular with
the citizens. Resaca has one hotel,
kept by that substantial citizen of our
county, Mr. J. 11. Barnett. There are
five general stores, the proprietors of
which seem to be doing a very good
business for these times. The business
firms are Messrs. Hill & Brown, D. A
Norton, J. W. Hill, and Mr.
Barnett keeps a stock his store
r)om under his hotel roof,. Anions
other enterprises that might be men
tioned are the Resaca steam flou in*^
O
mill and steam saw and planing mill.
The former is the property of a stock
company, of which Messrs J. W. and
Jdiri Dill, and J. A. Fite, of Resaca,
and Col. J. C. Fain, of Calhoun, are
members. The latter was established
by Mr. L. IT. Hall, connected with the
firm of T. C. Peck & Cos., who run it
successfully for several successive years.
The property is now owned by Hills
& Cos. At present, both of the&e en
prises are quiet, but we are pleased to
learn that in a short while they are
likely to be put in lively operation, and
Resaca begin to realize again the bene
fits therefrom. Resaca was regularly
incorporated a few years ago, has her
Board of Councilmen, Marshal, &c.,
and seems to be getting along finely
with her “city finances,” as we learned
while there that an agitated debate on
thesubject resulted in the cutting down
of the pay of high-salaried officers, and
the thrifty citizens seem to have no
fears f demands upon their treasury
that a well directed application of funds
accruing from street and property tax
will not meet. Resaca has several very
neat dwellings, and those of Mr. J. W.
Hill, and L. H. Hall, especially, are
very stylish and attractive. In fact we
think the Resaca people ought to feel
proud geneially at the starts they have
made, and when business matters
brighten up over the country again this
little village has advantages and facili
ties which will enable her people tc
keep pace with the moving current, and
to prosper and go forward to the ac<
complishment of ends not inconsidera
ble.

Tuesday was sale day, and we have
not seen such a large gathering of the
people of tho county since the political
fever was rife in our midst. The ground
was not dry enough for plowing, and
the fair weather which had made the
roads passable, caused an unusual stir
among the farmers townwards.
Spring I'igs More Profitable than
Store Pigs,
Editor Calhoun Times :
Knowing your wish is to circulate
useful information I place at your dis
posal sundry facts, connected with an
experiment, to ascertain whether any
advantage could be derived from keep
ing P' 3 through the winter. From
this I am of opinion that to keep what
are usually termed “store pigs” is un
profitable to the farmer, unless the
number kept is confined to the con.
sumption of food only (house offal)
that has no marketable value; tor it is
clearly proved by the statements below
that the weight gained during the cold
season will not compensate for the ex.
tra cost of six months’ feeding.
The pigs used for the experiment
were of three litters from my own pig
gery, viz :
A, 3 pigs, half Chinese and half
Berkshire.
B, 3 pigs, half grass and half Berk*
shire.
C, 3 pigs of same family as B, but
a subsequent litter.

The pigs of class A had not the ad
vantage of sucklings, the sow having
died in the act of parturition ; they are
an encouraging example of what may
be accomplished by care and attention
for a few days after birth. Each class
was fed on the same kind of food,
treated in the same manner, and at
tended by the same swii*e-berd. B and
C were weaned at six weeks old, and
till then at no expense for food.
Asa further illustration of the truth
of my hypothesis, let us deduct from
the whole age of B, 421 days, and
the while age of C, 241 days, the age
when weaned, 42 days, and we shall
have the time fed of B, 379 days, and
of C, 199 days.
Again let us from the average weight
of 13, 313 pounds, and the average
weight of C, 249 pounds, deduct tbe
presumed weight if slaughtered when
weaned, (20 pounds) which gives the
weight gained by 13 during the feeding
293 pounds, and of 0 229 pounds.

C.. 199: 229:: ,1 184-12
B 379 : ...293'; 12 8-12
Exjura gain of C per day 61-2
But another and more common-sense
view of the subject is, that B was fed
a little over 12 months, and gained
293 pounds, C was fed a little over 6
months, and gained 229 pounds. Dif
ference for 6 months feed only 64
pounds.
Superadded to these facts, it must
be admitted that B, from 6 to 12
months feeding age, consumed much
more food than C consumed from 0 to
6 months ; consequently that B during
his whole feeding time, consumed more
than double the quantity that C con
sumed duiing his whole feeding time.
Ergo, that C was about 100 per cent,
more profitable than B. W.
Meeting of Gordon County Agri
cultural Society.
Calhoun, Ga., Feb. 6, 1877.
Editor Calhoun dimes :
The Gordon County Agricultural
Society met according to previous no
tice.
Minutes of last meeting read and
adopted.
Ou motion, the society went into an
election of officers for the ensuing year,
which resulted as follows: A Roff,
President, O H. Davis, Vice President,
C. A. Harris, Secretary aud Treasurer.
Major A. Roff and O. 11. Davis were
then elected delegates to the semi an
nual convention of tho State Agricul-
tural Society.
The Secretary then distributed a va
riety of gardea seeds, grasses, oats,
corn, etc., free to all the members of
the society. The society then discussed
the propriety of offetiog’'a premium foi
the bes acre of corn. The premium
will be announced at the next regular
meeting, on tho first Tuesday in March.
In this connection we would earnestly
solicit the co-npperation of the farming
citizens, i.i whose interest more espec
ially is this society, both county and
State,organized,while it costs jou noth
ing to become a member, and there is
a very great probability that you would
gain some information, some fact, in
agriculture that you could not obtain so
cheaply elsewhere. Come forward,
gendemen, and sustain your agricultu
ral organization.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained the reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South.' It counteracts, the tniasuuftic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, that f’evor and ague, shake* or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Faraclie, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derange
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayer’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Agne prevails; as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
