Silence is not always golden, For
instance, when the still hotirs of the

are alone, and having said something
unusually bright, there comes a sudden
silence while you try in vain to think
of something to say. As the time pass
es the silence seems to grow more and
more oppressive, until yon can almost
feel it; the perspiration starts on your
forehead; you would give fifty dollars,
if you could borrow it, to break that

think there is nearly two hours between

A National Work. Webster’s
dictionary, unabridged, illustrated, is a
national work, in which every Ameri
can scholar has an interest, and in the
completeness and accuracy of which he
should have a pride—a national pride,
if you please—the same kind of pride
we have in the superior intelligence,
enterprise, resources, and capacity for
adaptability to occasion, of the masses
of the people of the United States. We
have always been proud of Webster's
dictionary. It should be remembered
that the publishers have had large ex
perience and the command of large re
sources in the preparation and perfec*
tion of this great work, and have aimed
to make—afl we aie confident they hate
succeeded in doing—the bist dictiona

Mr. C. W. Star Jet, of Dahlonegft,
was in our office one day this week, and
represents that a man styling himself
Rev. Charles Lamar, who is an impos

in the direction of Calhoun, and gave
us a little history of his exploits around
Dahlonega, where he imposed upon the
people and obtained board,clothing, etc.,
on pretense of being an ordained Bap
tist minister from Cherokee county, N.
C. The truth about the man, says Mr.
S., is, besides not being a minister cf
the Gospel, he is An! n of little char
acter, having two living wives. He
imfoses on the good and charitable
wherever he goes,and makes bis way by
false misrepresentations II is a me
dium sized man, and if he happens to
turn lip in this vicinity we trust our
people will give him the treatment he
deserves.
Our town subscribers, we trust, will
experience no inconvenience from the

we have concluded not to deliver the
papers to the dwellings and places of
business hereafter, but unless other*
wise ordered, the papers of those whose
names have been on the carrier’s list
will be deposited in the post office. The
carrier’s list has been all aloeg an ex
tra expense to us, and the carrier hav
ing for the last year neglected to call
on subscribers for his little extra con
tributions. which it is always customary
to allow him, gives aoother excuse for
the change; and altogether, we feel
sure our subscribers will like the ar
rangement quite as well, as they will
get the paper prcmptlv and regularly
with their mail matte*, and there is no
postage to be paid on it.
RES.4CA RIPPLES.
Resaca, Ga., March 21, 1877.
Dear Times :
I an much like the composer of the
phunny almanac, this month is chock
full of westher, and I think we have
had weather of all kinds since Msrcb
set in this year. We have had weather
to displease all.
I notice a change has been made in
the W. & A. Railroad schedule, which
makes it quite convenient for onr citi.
zens in and around Resaca, who wish
to travel. Instead of getting here be
fore day the down day passenger train
arrives now about 9$ o’clock A. M. The
down aod up lightning express trains
meet here now about 7 o’clock p. M
Heretofore, we could not leave Resaca
on the down night train, as it did not
stop at this point. As the trains run
now it is quite convenient for anyone
wishing to leave this point going either
up or down the road. If Judge Bar
nett will tarn his hotel into a railroad
supper house, our town will be consid-*
erably benefit ted by this change ot the
schedule. Come to the front, Judge,
and let us have a supper house in our
town, by all means.
Onr Marabal was in much trouble
one day last week, as he was packing ft
sack of meal home, about as much as
he could well carry, he had to cross a
large mud puddle between the mill nd
his house, dust as ha neared the mud
he caught his toe under a piece of plank
that was lying in the street, and fell his
full length in the mud—the sack of
meal landing about ten feet beyoud him.
He crawled out, and scraping the mud
from his whiskers and eyes, and looking
down at his life-eize picture in the
mud, he simply said, darn this picture
business, shouldered his meal and made
bis way home, never looking back.—
Since then he will not travel that
street.
The puff of the engine of our steam
saw mill may be beard daily now. The
mill commenced to rnn last Monday
morning, and the proprietors say they
intend to run the mill every day now if
the cash will bring them the logs to
saw. All that want money can get
some by bringing logs to this mill. If
this mill does run regularly it will be
a great benefit to the surrounding coun
try. I for one wish the enterprising
proprietors much success.
Dock came in town this morning and
opened his store once more. He has
been up Id Murray county, trying to
find the men who ate his cheese. When
he closed doors and departed on his
mountain tour, he left John here to
look after his interest. John was more
successful than Dock, and dispatched
for him to come in, that he had found
out the men who ate the cheese, and
while I w-ite Dock can be seen sitting
in front of bis store, looking over the
long string of names that John gave
him, erasing some, aud sighing and
groaniog over others, for he does not
know but a few of the names. Jeff
is the only one who acknowledges that
he got any cheese. Wells says he did
not get any, and can prove his inno
cence Hold John accountable, Dock,
add make him pay the bill, for he got
your cheese last fall.
Some of our farmers have commenced
to plant corn, I understand I thought
I would plant the balance of my farm
in corn next week, which will be about
three five-foot rows. I have a fire crop
of dog fennel, which does not require
so much work as corn and cotton.
Rev. Mr. Tate, oar Baptist minister,
preached a very interesting sermon last
Sunday at the church here. Some of
the members were very uncomfortably
seated when he spoke about church
numbers playing “Tucker" aad other
plays, which were the same as dancing.
He told them where there was no good
in them, but on the contrary, clearly
proved that they were productive of
much harm, and advised them to keep
away from parties.
A member of the Resaca Singing
Club walked out to Union Hill last.
Sunday evening to teach a school. He
must have bceD very apt in learning
himself, for the club has been organ*
ized but a short time They take their
lessons at 5 o’clock A. M., and this
member teaches Sunday evening.
Two of our citizens went to Tilton
one day this week, and had to tramp it
back home, counting the ties as thoy
came, and have made an accurate te
port of the number.
I hope none will become offended at
anything I have said, for I intend no
harm to anybody. If any should wish
to see me on business, my office is in
the Northeast corner of the well at the
flouring mill. Office hours at precisely
12 o’clock every Monday.
Very respectfully, Moses.
FROM FAIRMOUNT.
Fairmount, Ga., March 19, 1877.
Editor Calhoun Times:
Fairmount is a livtie village in the
northeast corner of Gordon county. It
is situated at the foot of a beautiful
verge of mauutains. and in one of the
most healthy and fertile valleys of North
Georgia It has about one hundred in
habitants, one beautiful church edifice
put up in elegant style, one splendid
academy building, at present occupied
by a first-class high school, and a com
plete set of goods sellers,, iron beaters
and wood shavers, but cannot boast of
even one bar-room as do some of our
neighboring towns.
About one mile south of the Village
Big Salasoa creek gushes out of a deep
ravine of the mountains, and winds its
way slowly down the valley amidst fer
tile fields and wide spread bottoms, while
on the north side about two miles dis
tant Little Salacoa rolls its silvery wa
ters the mountain sides and sv ift
ly glides onward, forming a junction
with the big creek near two miles from
this place Most of the soil on these
creeks is of everlasting fertili.
ty, and will stand the sturdy step of
the plowman and the incessant pulL
ing and overturning of the cultivator
for years to come, and still give the
tiller a product, while some of the
lands are made of clay nd may be of
great use in the future for pipes and
and stick and dirt chimneys. This val
ley is supposed to have been a delight*
ful hunting ground for the red man
when he was possessor of this country.
Sometimes I imagine I can see him
as he pursued the panting deer through
its stately torests ere the hand of civ
ilization drove him from his haunt.
A train passed through our village
to-day, but it was a Gypsy train. They
seemed to deal mostly in horses and
children. Perhaps you may hear from
me again. F. D. 8.

We regret to learn of the death of
Mrs. John Casey, Mrs. Matt. Floyd,
&Dd Mrs. Wjq. Pledget, all within ten
days of each other.
The Oostanaula bridge has been out
of repair for a few days, so that the
engines could not pass over,but by shov
ing the cars over the trains have run
with regularity. Our little Dan got
hold of the bridge and fixed it up in a
hurry, so that bo more trouble will be
experienced.
Plainville has only three bachelors
now. Come, boys, don’t let even the
old widowers get ahead of you.
Mr. and Mrs. Burks have been to
Plainville on a visit.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
•
Win. Fester died in Floyd county
last Sunday, in his 85th year.
Rome Tribune: We learn that there
is some excitement in the neighborhood
of Landers’ ferry, by the mysterious
appearance of some clothing, money,
and a man’s hat on the river hank.—
There are the tracks of three men lead
ing to the river and but two
which suspicious circumstance leads to
the fear that foul play has been prae*
ticed.
Dalton Enterprise : The passenger
train on the State read ran off thetracx
on Saturday night last, near Chicamau
ga, upsettiDg and precipitating the bag
gage, smoking and ladies’ cars into a
creek. The ladies’ car turned over on
its side it water about six inches deep.
Fortunately no one was hurt, except a
brakemau who was slightly injured.—
The baggage car and baggage were con
siderably iojured.
The Cherokee Georgian says: We
learn that a double tragedy vtdak. place 4
in Pickens county, a few days Ngo. Two
men, Bozeman and Arwood, had a mis
understanding about an old plow-stock
one morning at the residence of Mr,
Arwood. Some time during the day
Bozeman went to the field where Ar
wood was at work and sought to renew
the quarrel. Arwood seized a pitch
fork to strike Bozeman, whereupon the
latter drew a pistol and shot the former
in the abdomen. Arwood then struck
Bozeman with the fork just above,the
eyes, breaking his skull Bozeman died
that night, and it is said that there is
no hope of Arwood’s recovery.
The same paper has this : We also
learn that a woman, whose name we did
not learn, was murdered at- a party on
Long Swamp creek, one eight last week
by some unknown party or parties. This
woman, it is said, was the principal
witness against the woman who mar
dei ed Mrs. Southern in the same coun
ty some time ago. ,

the proper authorities to have the pub
lic roads posted and *ign boards placed
at all public forks and cross roads, and
that letters and figures (instead of
notches) be used to designate towns
and miles.
We endorse the actio.) of our County
Board relative to a change of road and
the building of a bridge across SalaCoa,
near John G. B. Erwin’s,ln the Fair
mouot District, and we respectfully re
quest the Board to proceed to let out
the contract and erect said bridge.
We have (as far as was in our pow

in their judgment, be needed to efFec*
tually and satisfactorily protect the fi
nancial interests of oar county, and we
do earnestly requett the County Board
to proceed without delay to perforin
this important duty.
We recommend that Bailiffs in at

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and A true, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, Ac., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. ,
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill front 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 arc free
from dahger Of qttinism or an}' 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 3-outh. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes 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, Ckftft, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Kara Che, 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 Ague 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 an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces ltia&y remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
