@UrMn Blue birds and postmasters are feel ing good. Monday gave us a little taste of win ter again. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Wm. H. Black is ill. Monday was inauguration day. It was wash day also. Our people, with an occasional shiv er, are still waiting for spring. Thursday was rather inelement, in somuch that it rained nearly all day. The commercial traveler’ begins to show his face in these parts again. There willbe'more cotton planted in this county, this year, it is surmised, than last. The forthcoming spring hat looks as if it had been run over lengthwise by a two-horse wagon. “Consolidated returns,” said a Cal houn man as he put down two glasses of cider on a whisky cockfail. Charlie and Elisha, sons of Governor Brown, are spending a while at their father's farm, this week. It is difficult to find a man nor who didn’t predictTrom the fivat that Hayes would bo inaugurated. The patent rat-trap man and tne pat ent soap man were among the unusual figures to be seen during court veek. “Well, now that’s put on.” said a countryman as lie watched a young lady reach behind and gather a handful of dress as she orossed the street. We have received the first number -of ..the Rome Tribune, anew tri weekly, started by J. J. Cohen and B. F. Saw yer. Success to the enterprise. Dr. W. M. Curtis received a fine pair of high class chickens by express Monday. They were the Brown Leg horn breed, and as perfect specimens as we ever saw. Thursday it rained unceasingly dur ing the afternoon, as hard as ever seen in this country. Thursday night there was a fearful wind storm, and the weath er blew off cold yesterday, the ther mometer getting down to 30 degrees. Where is the man that will say spring is here ? Thursday we noticed a stalwart* fc#. male who had business in town as she started home. The heavy rain began to fall before she had reached the su burbs, and we expected to see her seek the nearest shelter, but she didn’t do it. She just rcaohed down, brought up her top skirt and pulling it over her head, launched out into the shower as independent as Noah’s ark. Our new townsman, Rev. J. P. Prickett, has purchased an interest with Mr. King, of Whitfield, in McGimsey’s Magic Soap and patent washing ma. chine. They own the right ol Gordon county, and are endeavoring to intro duce them into every family. The washer is a funuel-shaped aparntus and does its work by pressure of air, and supercedes inexcellencc any machine yet invented. The soap has upon trial been universally pronounced ahead of any olh er soap. We trust these gen'lemen may find a good demand for the machines and soap. Some time iu la9t week Mr. John A. Pulliam was on bis way to Floyd coun ty, and when near the farm of Mr. D. W. Neel his horses became a little frightened, and his buggy ran over a huge stump and threw him out. Mr. Pulliam being unusually fleshy, fell on his head and shouldeis and sustained severe injuries. He was carried to Mr. Neel’s house, and his wife was imme diately sent for. By good attention he was able to be removed to his home on Sunday. Since then we understand he is improving very fast, and he will doubtless be able to be out again in a short while. M hen trade grew slack and notes fell due, the merchant’s face grew long and blue; his dreams were troubled through the night with Sheriff’s bail iffs all in sight. At last his wife unto him said, “Pise up at once—get out of bed ; and get your paper, ink and pen, and say these words unto all men : ‘My goods 1 wish to sell to you, and to your wives and daughters, too; my prices aie bo very low, that alj will buy before they go.’” He did as by his wife ad vised. andrin the paper advertised.— Crowds came and bought off all he had; his notes were paid, Lis dreams were glad; and he will tell you to this diy how well did printer’s iuk repay. J] e told us with a knowing wiuk. how he was saved by printer's ink. RKS.i€A (lUFPLE&' Resaca, G a., 'March 7, 1877. Dear Times : W ere I competent I could get up many interesting items from Resaca, but as I do the best I can I hope all will be satisfied. Why will farmers go to Tennessee to buy their wagons and buggies, when they can get a better ar ticle put up at home for less money, by patronizingjhomc industry? We could keep much motiey here that is sent west and north. I examined a wagon a few days ago that was put up in this place by Messrs. Lane & Smith. The wood work done on this,, wagon was su perior to any western work I ever saw, and as for the iron work, Mr. Smith is a graduate on i. cuing wagons—he has put many fancy touches on this wagon —he has made some of the hooks and rings to represent a suake, and they are so much like a snake *hat it made your correspondent jump and think he was snako bit when he discovered them. If anyone wants a good wagon or bug gv, Resaca is the to get it put up eheap and^good. Resaca is some on jumping—morning and evening'a crowd can be seen in some part of our town jumping. Car tersville tiied Resaca on a jump for a prize a few days ago, but Resaca came off first best and and claimed the coffee pot. Resaca is a very orderly little town. We have only one bar-room here, and it is a show to see a drunk man on our streets. One would think the Good Templars were in a prosperous condi tion, but to the contrary, they are be low par. The lodge is disorganized, but we understand the children have a very good working Cold Water Temple here at this time. I understand there is quite an inter, esting debating society at Union Hill, a church and school-house ’ about two miles from Resaca. I have never had thespleasure of attending any of their debates, but intend to at an early day. I have been told there are between fifteen and twenty members,- the most of whom are gGod orators and quite in teresting. We understand that Resaca is to have two trick buildings erected this sum mer —one a business house —the other a residence. If they are erected it will greatly add to the looks of our town. Why this place does not improve is more than I can understand. We have a good opening for capital. We have one of the best flouring mills in gia standing still. Our saw mill is to be started s-ion, I learn, to run regular ly, which will look more like business, and give employment to several hands Mr. J. R. Noble is only running his corn mill two days in a week now, but still turns out splendid meal. One of our young men became quite romantic not long since at a party, judging from the following which was found in a “smashed up” hat, a few da'f. ago, not far from ; •‘lie blushed a fiery red ; Her heart went pit-a-pat ; She gently hung her head, And looked down on the mat. “He trembled in his speech ; He rose from where he sat, And shouted with a screech : ‘You're sitting en my hat!’ ” Very respectfully, Moses. The spring term of Gordon Superior Court couvened Monday, and business has been progressing that tribunal very rapidly this week. Judge McCutchen’s charge to the jury was deliverd in his usual able and earnest manner, and contained a concise definition of their duties ul> der the law. Among lawyers present besides the local bar we notice Cols. Shumate, Johnson, Jones, Walker and Moore, of Dalton, and Cols. Gray and Johnson, ot Cartersviile. The atten dance of the people of tha county is not as large as usual, and the business genera’ly, we believe is of a less impor tant nature. Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary has now stood the test of time, and receiv ed in approval not only that popular verdict which in the United States has called for over fifty million copies of the Webster series, but the Thorough en dorsement of our best scholars, as put forth individually, and in the pages of the authoritative periodicals. It is not only, to quote Professor Stowe, “in many respects the greatest literary work which America has ever pro duced,” but it is in many respects the greatest literary work produc and in any nation or age. — New Yok Mail. We call attention to the price list and business card of M. A. Gee & Cos., dealers in doors, sashes, blinds, &c, Chattanooga, Tenn These gentlemen have a first-class business reputation I Their stock is al ays complete, and as will be seen by their price list, their 1 goods are lower tbau usually sold. We trust this firm may succeed in building up a guod trade iu this section. All who contemplate improving their boos s should consult them before making '.their purchases. Our'readers are asked to notice the advertisement of Messrs. Harris A Gore, who have rented the Reeve shops, and are making to order all kinds of furni ture. This is a home enterprise worthy the attention of the people, and should be encouraged. We have examined the quality of their work and offer ou” commendation. Thev propose in a short while t*) keep a stock of their work on hand, so that purchasers can make their own selections at once. They are clev er gentlemen and we wish ' them suc cess. We have received from Mr- F. W. Relmick, Cincinnati, Ohio, a -beautiful piece of music “He Holds the Fort in Heaven,” which is a tribute to the memory of P. P. Bliss,*the sweet singer who lost his life in the Ashtabula dis aster several months since, and who sung “Hold the Fort” with so much power in the Whittle and Bliss meet, ings.

Graham Bell, the inventor ot that wonderful instrument the telephone, which has caused so much interest in the scientific world and which is now becoming so popularly knowu, lectured on his invention at Lyceum Hal! this evening. The lecture was one of a course of the Essex Institution, * and about 500 persons were present. Ihe lecture was very well received and the frequent and long-continued applause showed that the audience appreciated fully the wonderful uses and the exper iments made with the machines. Prof. Bell briefly explained the construction ofthe instrument and then sketched his studies of the system of transmitting sounds. He explained that it was his first attempt before an audience to try these different experiments. An inter mittent current was first sent from Bos ton to Mr. Thomas A. Watson, Prof. I Bell’s associate. Thi- caused a noise very similar to a born from the tele phone. The Morse telegraph alphabet was then sent by musical sou ids, and could be heard throughout the hall. — The audience burst into a loud applause at this experiment. A telej honic organ was then put into operation in Boston. “Should Auld Acquaintance be For got ?” and “Yankee Doodle” were read ily heard through the hall and heartily recognized At this point Prof. Bell explained how he learned to TRANSMIT THE TONE OP THE HUMAN VOICE, and paid a grateful tribute to Mr. Wat son for a song, and “Auld Lang Syne” came Lom the mouth-piece of the in strument almost before his word.s were ended. Mr. Watson was then asked to make a speech to the audience, lie ex pressed himself as having more confi dence eighteen miles away than if he were present Ilis speech was aj fol- ; lows : “Ladies and gentlemen—lt gives me great pleasure to be able to address you this evening, although I am in Bos ton and you in Salem.” This could be heard thirty-five feet distant—that is, all over the hall, and brought down the house with applause. A system of j questioning was then carried on and Mr. Whitson was asked if he heard the ap plause. The answer was, “I was not listening. Try again.” The applause was at once given and its receipt AT ONCE ACKNOWLEDGED IN BOSTON? Coughing and singing were then heard and a variety of questions wore then asked from the Salem end, and among them : “What news from the electoral commission ?” followed by the distinct answer of “I don’t know of any.” But the news came fleeting along that the engineers of the Boston & Maine Railroad had struck Gen. Cogswell asked if trains were running ; the answer was clear and distinct that they were not at 5:30 o’clock. Pruf. Bell introduced the Rev. E. C. Bolies, who said : “I shake ban Is with you cordially in imagination twenty miles away.” The Rev. ES. Atwood ask ed : “Does it fain?” ‘‘lt does not in B 'Ston,” was Mr. Watson’s answer.— Prof. Gage, the electrician, then spoke through the telephone, endeavoring to have his voice recognized. This could U“t he done, as Mr. Watsou was not familiar with the voice. Mr. Shaje j Zstwa was recognized, Mr. Watson be* ing perfectly familiar with his to mis. One of the assistants ii Boston then said that “Hold the Fort” would b<i 1 sung in Boston, and the tune which followed was readily recognized. Piof. , Bell closed his lecture by briefly sta ting the practical uses to which he was confident the telephone colld be ap- j plied. Hearty applause was afforded the lecturer as he finished, and people flocked about the stage in large nu;n hers to more closely examine the won derful instrument tht bad placed them in audible communication with people nearly twenty miles away. THE LECTURE AND EXPERIMENT were an unqualified success. A vote of thanks was tendered to Miss Molloy, operator of the Atlantic & Pacific Tel egraph Company at Salem, for her as* ! sistance during the evening. The tel | ephoue was then (aken apart and rx i plained to a tew ladies and gentlemen, jto their wonder aud satisfaction. This ! special-by telephone to the Globe has : been transmitted in tbe presence of about twenty, who have t 1 us been with | nesses of a feat r ever before attempted —that is, the sending of a new.-paper disp itch over the space of eighteen miles by the human voice—and alj'this wonder being accomplished ta a time , nut mu oh iouger than would be con sumed in a-’ conversation be tween two people in the sameroom. THE SCENE AT THE .BOSTON END. The instrument which transmitted the wonderful voice-message to the lis tening ears in this city was placed in a 1 little rOoui in Exeter Place, where were i assembled Prof. Watson, Benjamin Butler, the electrician, Prof. E. B. Wartuan, aud Mr. A. B Fletcher, rep -1 resentative of the Globe. The experi ment was certainly a great success The conversation with the friends eighteen miles away was carried on iu ordinary tones of voice. The Globe representa* tive in Boston very easily recognized the voice of the transmitter of the dis patch in Salem, and very distinctly heard the applause which was given iu the Essex Institute Hall. It was a i very noteworthy occasion, certainly ; and thp complete success attained led to the discussion of many plans for the furthei practical utilization of the tele phone, which sends its first newspaper dispatch to the Globe readers for their delectation and wonder this morning TWO PAOIfS • FIRST.
