TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS. St. Valentine's Day— next Wednes day. Gen. P. M. B. Young was in town last Wednesday. buzzing politician is at rest for a season. This is a relief. Eggs are selling at ten cents per doz en . The hens are doing their duty. Pressing men, says a victim of the hard times, are more numerous than de sirable. f The merchants are beginning to re* ceivp new goods, but are hardly ready to put in heavy spring stocks. A lemon, of Florida growth, weigh* jog one and a half pounds is on exhi* bition in Savanmh. Some of our citizens have been tick* ling the earth a little in their gardens during the pretty weather of the past week. Tbe Board of County Commissioners have changed their time of meeting from tbe first Monday to the first Tues day in eaeh mo^th. Rev. L. L. McArthur will preach at tbe place known as Hudgics’ acad emy, two miles and a half from town, to-morrow at 11 o’clock A. M. Bustles are to be more numerous than ever this spring. They will be ot all shapes and sizes. There is noth* ing can supply the place of the Jbus tle.> Mr. J. L. Carnp, of the live firm of Camp, Glover & Cos., of Home, was in town Thursday on business. Mr. Camp will soon start for the Eastern market, and intends laying in a large spring stock for his house. We understand there is a probability of the Towu Council increasing the street tax from three to five dollars with a view to making additional expen ditures on the streets. This is too much enterprise for the hard times. Our pencil has been ready for sev eral weeks to chronicle a wedding which rumor has predicted in this vi cinity, aud ve hope no combination of circums ances has nipped the enterprise in the bud, as we are thirsty fur news of this sort. Two tramps proposed to n Oalhoun man ifhe would keep them for the night ♦ hoy would pay him in vork the next day, when true to their promise they pitched in like whiteheads,and chopped up several cort’s of wood and spaded up several squares in tho gentleman’s gar den. Such tramps as these are an lion.- or to the profession, and are very handy to have about the house. Messrs. Tayhtr Miller,Joe Griffin,Cons Griffin and J. P. Fricks, all young men of this county, returned to their homes this week from Atlanta where they have been for the last few months attending the lectures of the medical college of that city. They anticipate returning at the next course, and arc all worthy young men, aud will make capital M. Ds if they properly apply themselves. Mrs. Deliza Elizabeth, wife of our fellow-townsman, Rev. Leonard L. Me* 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 bers to European ports Messrs Gra ham & Barnett, who own a steam saw mill three miles from this place, have received an order from D. C. Bacon & Go., of Savannah, for twenty-five thou 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. Rand’s New York City Business Directory. —This is the title of a val uable work of commercial reference, just issued by Walter Ileugh & Cos., print ers and publishers, ot 14 Park Place New York. It contains a full and com plete list of all the Importers, Jobbers and Manufacturers doing business in the great metropolis, classified and ar ranged by trades and occupations, and giving their street and number address. It is an invaluable work to a country mer chant. It tells him where to obtain any thing from a needle to a steam engine, of first and second hands. The work will be sent by the publishers postage prepaid upon the receipt of the price, which is as follows : Cloth, full bound edition, per copy, one dollar; flexible cloth bound, seventy-five cents, paper covers, fifty cents. 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. IB 'v pm U £ "3 £ -2 © v, >,. fe rC f tc O ac p SC ’Tl,'-? 5 s _ “ fc 3 ® J* .5 . be O 0Q < & 25 lbs. lbs. oz - A Oct.

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. ays.

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. A. Roff, President. C. A. Harris, Secretary. GUANOS.

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, It is £n excellent remedy; this organ into healthy And produces'many remark able cores where other fnediCines fell. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
