QmUf&un s3m*s town and county affairs. Tdae tip jour hoe. To-day is St. Patriok'a day. The town flow loes for spring. Pass in your spring advertisements. Yellow is to be the prevailing color this spring. Dr. D. G. Hunt, of Dalton, was in town yesterday. It is a bad habit to constantly owe the printer. Mr. Ilenry Smith, of Rome, was in town Wednesday. The schedule changes on the W. <t A. R. R. to-morrow. Picnies will soon bo along with all their force and fulness. Persons who crop the tail of a dog generally throw the wrong end away. Congressman Felton and f’amhy"p ass-, ed down the road a few days ago. You cau get a suiell of guano now if you will perambulate around the de pot. Better times are predicted. It is time everybody were beginning to look oheer ful once more. Calhoun has a fuller crop of lawyers thau any other class of struggling hu manity. Eggs can be bought for eight cents per dozen, and grown chickens for 121 cents each, on our streets. Mr. Hightower has been setting out a number of shade trees around his ho tel which will look well when coated with green leaves. Cartersville girls, it is claimed, wear number 6 shoes. Gordon county did possess a girl of sixteen who wore a six with the figure (notfthe girl) inverted. The colored citizens have been enjoy ing the luxuty of a quarterly meeting the past week. If their meetings are as good as they are numerous, they will do. Although Calhoun has three bar rooms, a drunken man is seldom seen on oar streets, and our town, it may sately be said, is as orderly as any in this seotion. Foster & Harlan are determined to bs ahead, and as the spring season opens are lining their shelves with the must desirable goods ever brought to this market. A Calhoun young man is afflicted.- His disease can be found out from the following written on the margin of a book in his possession : “The patlgs of love is great. I hav ben there mi self." 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) jor, I wish’d (hie) tell me which (hie) one of s’s me, I want to go (hic)home.” We desire to express our thanks to those of our subscribers who kindly re membered us with payments of their subscriptions, and we desire to say to those still in arrears that we desire payments, as we still need funds to help ns along now, and to them we shall ItK'k for some assistance. 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* vented the boat from going over by pushing against the dam with their paddles. Some men heard their cries for asaistace and swimming to the boat released them from their predicament. The bar received a new accession this week in the porson of our young friend, Mr. J. C Harkins, who was ad mitted before Judge McCutchen, after a creditable examination. Mr. Har kins has applied himself to his object apparently with a studious desire to distinguish himself is the calling be has sought, and as a moral and ener getic young man deserves the encour agement and confidence of the com munity. We irish him success. Knights ot Honor. Calhoun, Ga , Mar. 14, 1877. Calhoun Lodge Knights of Honor No. was this day formed by Dep#- uty Grand Dictator, Col. R. H. Jones. The following named persons, with suit able certificates and properly vouched for, made application for membership, and were elected by ballot, viz : N. J. Boaz, Z. T. Gray, T. A. Foster, J. D.

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. m • We want a few more correspondents in the county to get up news for us. Plainville and Fairmount should come to the froDt. — •— 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 ternoon. He is an able divine, and our citizens and the little folks should lend their presence. y Our ponderous friend, Cot. Acton, of the Constitution, was in town yes. terday, looking after the interests of tbit excellent daily. BIAiCA Klpf*JL*:. 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/ More anon/ S. P. mm m Sings like a bird. The delightful effects of this new principal, Dr. J.

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. Mark A. Moore, Foreman, John B. Boyd, Rufus B. Pitman, Azoriah B.
