A Calhoun young man is afflicted.-
His disease can be found out from the
following written on the margin of a

An old gentleman who had tasted tho
“rosy” was marching arourd with a
partner arm in arm last Saturday, and
stepping up to one of our citizens ex
claimed : “See here fhic) ma hie)

As soon as good weather began to
dry off the lands so that plowing could
be'done in the fields, our street# began
to wear a more deserted look this week,
and only those who were compelled to,
remained to Court. We believe our
' farmers are determined to show their
pluck this year.
On Sunday evening three young girls
got into a small boat on the pond at
Oothcaloga mill and believing they
could steer it successfully, pushed
it from the shore, but being unable to
guide it the current soon bore them
down to the dam, and they only pre*

pushing against the dam with their
paddles. Some men heard their cries for

released them from their predicament.

Notwithstanding a usurper is at the
head of the nation, the Presidential
question is now settled for the next four
years, and it is the duty of everybody
to settle down to work, and try to bring
about better times by an industrious ap
plication of the faculties which devel
op prosperity and banish poverty from
the land. There is no time to sigh over
what didn’t happen, but the better way
is for every one to do their part in try~
iug to advance the material progress of
their section io an honest and legitimate
way. Let not the ploughshares rust
while mother earth is ready to do her
part. Go to work. Go at it systemat
ically and willingly and with a determ*
ination to succeed. Idleness is next to
sin in times like these.
“Dry as a Dictionary.” —That
phrase must pass away. Look into the
elegant quarto edition of Webster’s
Unabridged; see the three thousand ill
ustrations, handsomely engraved, inter™
esting and instructive pictures. They
are interspersed through the work in
just the order in which you can most
readily find them, with definition and
description. Then, again they are class
ified convenient for comparison. But
this is only one of a hundred improve
ments male in the recent edition, worth
mentioning to our readers. No studi*
ous reader can afford to do without it,
or will hesitate to buy it upon examina
tion.—Mining Post.
James Neel, apparently between fifty
and sixtv yearp of age, was tried before
the Superior Court this week, found
guilty of assault, and sentenced to
twelve -months convict labor, six
months imprisonment, and a fine of ope
thousand dollars, with imprisonment
until fine is paid. The evidence before
the Court shows that he had enticed a
little girl, eight years old, away from
her home, and tried to induce her to
yield her person to his criminal use.
The senteoce is generally looked upon
as a just one.
Some twelve years ago the Averill
Chemical Paint Cos., of New York, in
troduced a mixed or ready prepared
paint,embracing in its combination some
important improvemts. It has attained
a large sale, and is now regarded as the
best paint in the country. The Cen
tennia! Commissioners in awarding it
the highest medal referred to it as a
valuable discovery. We refer our read
ers to the advertisement in this issue.
We are in receipt of the April num
her of Peterson’s Magazine, and like
all ot its predecessors, it is full of in
teresting and attractive things. There
is no other magazine published which
gives as much valuable reading, fash*
ions, etc., for the money as Peterson’s.
It is a general favorite.
We are in receipt of the first num
ber of the Acanthus, a gem of a paper
for the little folks, published at Atlan*
ta, by Miss Annie Marie Baraes, at
75 cents a year. None of the little
people should be without a paper, and
this one will meet their wants admira
bly.
The Superior Court has been trying
criminal cases altogether, we believe,
this week, and some of them rather
knotty ones. Judge McCutchen gen~
erally gives them the full extent of the
law.

Rev. Dr. Braker, of Chattanooga,
will preach in the Baptist church to
morrow, and will lecture the Union
Sabbath School at 2 o’clock in the af

their presence. y

Rksaca, Ga., March 14,1877.
Dear Times :
I see some of oar oldest citiiens sod
the town Marshal have joined the
Jumping Club. One of our citiaens
exchxnged hia heavy boots” tor a pair
of light shoes to jump in, last Satur
day evening—got beat jumping—and
had to give the owner of the shoes a
new pair of shoes ; but be invites all
to meet him at the Club’s jumping
ground next Saturday evening, when h e
will redeem himself as the champion
jumper of Resaca. Close doors
ti&e, Bob, then you will not have
to leave, and get beat.
If anyone wants to get into trouble
let them ask John and Matt, two of
our citizens, how they like j ike net fish
ing? If the two above named gents
would get a steamboat and about twen
ty hands, they probably could set their
mammoth net. Do not get#iscouraged,
boys, there’s a good time coming.—
Swap your net for a patent rat trap, or
a brush heap, and burn it for satisfac
tion, fish or no fish.
“Walk into my parlor,
Said the spider to the fly.”
I notice our council have had some
work done on the streets, where it was
most needed. I understand there will
be but little more work done until after
April Ist, when the time expires for
our citizens to pay street tax; if the
tax is not paid by that time, we are to
have a general working. All those who
do not pay by the above time, have to
work fifteen days, or till the streets are
in good order.
Mr. J. M. Douglass is building a very
neat little cottage, just outside the in
corporation, for Mrs. S. A. Buckner,
where she and family will soon remove,
so as to be convenient to her farm. Re
saca has several vacant houses, and sev
eral families can now find homes in our
little town, and can rent houses cheap—
from two to four dollars per month.
Those young men or boys who rode
into town this morning before day, fir
ing off pistols, and yelling at the top of
their voices, had better be at home
asleep j instead of disturbing our peace
ful citizens. What fun do you find
in this, boys 1 There is none, besides
you may be found out. You are sue
picioned now, and if caught, our coun
cil will show no mercy to you. Let this
be a warning, for you are watched.
I understand “Moses” is to have help
in getting up items from Resaca. Sail
in Pink,"two heads are better than one.
I heed help, and “lots” of it, especially
if the large and small man go for me
as they say. \ r ou can fight while I run.
Respectfully, Moses.
FROM ROCK CREEK,
Rock Creek, March 13th, 1877.
Editor Calhoun Times :
Seeing that you invite correspond
ence from different parts of the county,
we have decided to give you something
from our side of the river. We are in
the extreme western portion of the
county, and while our lands are not the
most productive, we are blessed with as
good water and have as healthy a com
munity as can be found in Georgia.—
Society, with few exceptions is aj good
as in any neighborhood in the county.
We have six churches within five miles
square, and as good a school as there is
in North Georgia, under the care ot
Capt. J. C. Stocks. It numbers about
forty pupils, a large portion of them are
young gentlemen and young ladies.—
The Captain says in point of intellect
and morals be will put his school against
any in the county.
We have had a great del of talk
about the Presidential question. Some
were ready to shoulder muskets if need
be, while others say they would make
the mountains their hiding place before
they would face the music, but since
the matter has been decided all seeui to
have consoled themselves with the
thought that they will have as good a
President as any body else.
Our farmers have been making good
use of the tfine weather in preparing
their lands for a crop. The land is
nearly all broken up to plant. Wheat
prospects are good. Fall oats have been
injured by the cold weather.
There has been but few weddings in
our community this winter. The young
people, we suppose, think they will
wait for times to get better before they
take upon themselves the responsibility
of married life.
Mrs. Herring died three miles west
of Calhoun last Friday night, and was
buried at West Union church Sabbath
evening. The funeral services were at
tended by a solemn and attentive audi
ence. For good congregations, good
behavior and attention to divine wor
ship this community cannot be excelled/

Oraad Jury rreseulttient*.
We, the Grand Jurors, cboaea and
sworn for the Ist week of March tens,
1877, of Gordon eounty Superior Court,
bog leave to make the following goner*
al presentments:
We have examined the hooks of the
Ordinary, Sheriff and Superior Court
Clerk, aud find the books belonging I o
said officers neatly and oorrectly kept.
We have examined the books of the
present Connty Treasurer, and find that
he has received forty-eight dollars on
jury fees and confessions, and has paid
out sixteen dollars and thirty-five cents,
leaving a balance in his hands of thirty
one dollars and sixty-five cents.
We have examined the dockets of
the Justice’s Caurts and Notaries Pub
lic of the various districts ix the coun
ty, and find them correctly kept, with
the exception of itemizing costs in cer
tain districts, to-wit: No. 973, 656,,
1064, 874, 980, 1235, 856, 1255 and
1055 ; and recommend that they be
more careful in future in itemizing
costs and signing up their dockets.
We examined the county jail, and
find it cleanly kept, but in an unsafe
condition ; and recommend the proper
authorities to have it repaired, and that
the cooking department be removed
from the jail building to the cook-house
intended for that purpose. Also, that
the roof on the court house be repaired.
We have madediligentdnquiry about
the public roads of the county, and find
them all in good condition.
We find the bridges across Pine Log
creek in Sonora district, Covington’s
bridge across Salaquoy creek, bridge
across Blue Spring creek, Resaca dis
trict, and Butlers bridge across Pine
Log creek in bad condition ; and rec
ommend the proper authorities to have
the same repaired.
We having no reports from the
Treasurer, Boaid of County Commis
sioners, Ordinary, or any other source
indicating the probable demands of the
county, it is impossible for us to make
an intelligent recommendation, as to the
amount of taxes necessary to be levied
the present year. We regret that such
is the case, but think it is owing to ( the
loose manner in which the financial af
fairs of the county have been conduct
ed. We r commend that the Board of
County Commissioners levy a sufficient
tax to discharge the liabilities of the
county, and practice due economy in
the same.
We find from tl\e report of H. C.
Hunt, C. S. C , that he has received
through T. J. Norton from the State,
for .the year 1876, to be applied to the
public school debt of 1871, eleven hun
dred and twenty-two dollars and *wen„
tytwo cents, leaving a balance on hand
of thirty dollars and
cents. We fiod from the said H. C.
Hunt’s report that the poll tax for 1876
has not been paid over by the former
Tax Collector ; and recommend that the
proper authorities call on him for a
settlement immediately.
We recommend that the pay of ju..
rors of Gordon county for the present
year be fixed at two dollars per day.
Finding that the greater past of the
crime in our county originates from the
sale of spirituous liquors where there
are no officers of the law to keep order,
we recommend that our county author.-
ities Issue no license, under any cir--
cumstances, for the sale of intoxicating
liquors, except the same be in a corpor
ate town.
To his Honor C. D. McCutchou, we
tender our thanks tor his kindness to
us, and our approval for the impartial
manner in which he has administered
the law. Also, to Col. A. T. Haekett,
our thanks for his attention to this
body.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in the Caliioun
Times.
