Mechanics complain of little work. Ihe streets wear a very dull appear ance. Farmers are making the “fur fly,” as it were, in tUe fields f~ T>r. R. W. Thornton, our popular dentist, is on a business trip to the mountains. Mr. Clandy, a citizen of Sugaj Vl -ley, aged about 80, died at his home this week. Base ball cometh not as yet among this year’s pastimes lor our young Americas. Some monster fish have keen oaught in the Ooatanaula with “set” hooks the last week or so. What has become of our Plainville and Resnca correspondnts ? We can not well dispeuse with their valuable reports. The busy fly now persecuteth man kind. Some people had better bave wire screens and sky lights added to their nasal appendagea. If your hens come home occasionally dragging ono leg behind them you may know your next door neighbor is mak ing a garden. Corn, Cotton, vegetable, etc., need rain, but the dry weather is maturing one of the finest wheat crops this sec tion has produced in years. The young lawyers of this place bavo established a moot oourt, the object of which is advancement in a knowleige of their profession. We hope the ex* periment will prove a success Our clever young oitiaeo, Mr. Wes ley Harkins, now in the employ of the W & A. Railroad at Chattanooga, is spending this week with his family at this place. A capable judge at the pic nio last week, remarked of our girls, that they wero the prettiest, jolliest, and most at tractive in North Georgia, and his good opinion is as trut. as it is well apprecia ted by the girls Wc learn that the new steamar built for the Oostanaula and Ooosawattee rivers will be launched at Rome on next Monday, and by the time whea‘ is harvested, will be up the river for Gor don’s crop. Latest from the seat of war : The troops of the Turkish General Kusvy* kiegobskilts have completely routed the force of Jijuskinsogzaxoq and de stroyed the towns, Gixakugkxokikski and Bhuqxigmankarkxuzzi, on th/ug syptaq. \ 7 Young man, if your adored smiles on you more than usual about now, if she meets vou at the door with anew cor diality—if she observes that “11 o’clock isn’t a bit late”—if she says good night with a gentle pressure of the hand—if she docs all these things, be not de- i ceived. The season for ice cream and Ismonade is jogging around. The Independent Amateur Club held their seoond meeting last Monday night, and between ten and twelve young la dies and gentlemen were added to their list of membership.

The gruat want of the age—the want of funds. One of the current war maps will give people who have nothing else to do a livelihood during the hot days of summer untangling some of the nances that appear there. \ f There is no barber in and the style in which some fellows have had their hair cut this spring makes the head look like a clover patch when grasshoppers were bad like they were last summer. \ a— \[ Mr. Boon Dawson, of this co \nty, left here on Saturday last with his fam ily for a lengthy move Westward, his destination being Washington Territo ry.

Tiie Chattanooga Times. —lf you want to know about Chattanooga, the most promising young city in the South, and one that don’t stop growing for any kind of financial calamity, send Fifty Cents for tiie Weekly Times three months. Price of the Dai ly is 75 cents per month, or SB.OO a year, and the VVeekly is $2.00 a year. The Weekly contains forty eight col umns, and “It is one of the best pa eprs in the State.” On Tuesday evening Mr. L. M. White was assisting Mr. t Mark Moore, at his gin and planing mill in repairing the engine. In striking a file a blow endwise a piece flew against his face with terrible force, and inflicted severe injuries to his left eye. In fact his physicians on first examination, be lieved it would result in the loss of his eyesight. We are glad to state howev er that a recovery is probable without this unhappy result. ( A pair of young horses belonging to Maj. Roff became frightened at a plank drawa from the wagon behind, while standing at Moore’s planing mill on Tuesday, and ran at a lively pace, their course leading to a thicket of pines and under brush. The w; gon was soon dashed against one of the largest of the sapplmgs and terribly mutilated, and one of the horses had a hip dislocated. A little care on the part of the driver would have prevented the accident, as thero was nothing to interfere with their progress but a crazy negro boj. The Picnic of the Methodist Nun day School. Friday of last week dawned propi* tiously for the joyous occasion which made glad the hearts of so many of our young people, the cheering breezes act ing against the rays of the sun. which might otherwise have been oppressive. The grutiwds selected for the picnic was the lovely grove of Mr. Richard Peters, lying just east of the Oothcaloga, on j his beautiful farm. Vehicles for trans- i portation were pretty generally provi ded. and by ten o’clock a fair sprinki ling of young people, and among them old ones, too, preparod to enjoy with a full spirit the little recreations and pastimes of the duv had collected on the grounds. The little people who were placed under especial charge of Major Aaron Roff were provided with swings, rupes, and other like aux- j iliaries to drive away dullness from the ! occasion, and happily they passed away the hour or two intervening between their arrival and dinner, and just be fore the announcement of the hour of repast, Rev. Mr. Dickey made a few brief temarks, and was followed in an admirable effort by Prof. J. D Scott, the Superintendent of the school, who admonished the children to studiously -rive to direct their steps in the path of right, and avoid drifting into bad habits which would follow them to manhood. His address was plain, prac ticai and pleasing to his young and older hearers. Afe v songs were ren - dered in a manner rarely equalled, shortly after which the contents of the many baskets containing good things were emptied and spread under the shades, and there was a feast inviting “assault” without reflection. The evening’s enjoyments were so varied that monotony could not find a resting place. Here a group drinking in the p.easures of soul-iuspiring mu sic, there a party flourishing their cro. quet mallets, while rope jumping, swinging, and other sports occupied completely the attention of the merry crowd. The sun was sinking low before the many present could be induced to re tire to their homes and other duties, end the day and its pleasure will long remain brilliant in thoir memcri< s. ‘•Touch me Gently, Father Time,” is the title of anew and beautiful song and ohorus by Charlie Baker, au thor of the famous “He Holds the Fort of Heaven.” Dealers are ordering it by the thousand. The whole world will soon be singing “Touch me Gent ly, Father Time.” Any music dealer will mail you this beautiful song for 40 cents. Published by F. W. Helmick, 50 West 4th street, Cincinnati,O. County Cotrcsiiontltufc. Reeves* Station. Reeves’ Station, Ga., May 28. Editor Calhoun Times: As I see in your enterprising paper letters from Plainville, Rock Creek, Re saca, &0., I thought I would write you a short letter from Reeves’ Station. The location of this place is five and a half miles west of Calhoun, four and a half utiles north of Plainville, on the Selma, Rome & Dalton Railroad. The Oostanaula river flows in one-hal t of a mile from here, the bottoms of which are fertile. This place is neither a town nor village, though it is of no small importance. We have two stores, one blacksmith and wood shop, post office and depot. Mr. J. W. Swain is teaching school about one mile from here. He is an excellent teacher and well experienced in the profession. There is another thing we Lave that I haven’t mentioned—that is, our Sab" bath School. It is now in its infancy, and is progressing so finely I do not think it will be long till we have as good, if not the best Sunday School in this county. Mr. Wm. E. Smith is our Superintendent, who fills his office well, and thoroughly understands how to con duct a Sunday School. There was an excellent lecture given last Sunday by Mr. T. C. Milner for the benefit of the school. Cotton, corn and wheat look toler able well, though they need rain bad ly- -1 will close, hoping I may in the fu ture give you a longer and more inter ests g letter. Respectfully yours, Xerxes. gdflMwfeoort gnus. Daltou will soon have a soap factory. The Cleveland people picnicked at Dalton Thursday of last week. Mr. Cal. Rudd, of Daltou, and Miss Helen Lowry, of Chattanooga, were married on the 22d inst. The dwelling house of Rufus Hick ey, in Ridge Valley, with its contents, were burned on the night of the 20th. We learn that a colored man of Cher okee county by the name of McMullen is worth at least ten thousand dollars that he has made farming since the war. —Marietta Journal. We inadvertently omitted to state the misfortune of Mr. W. A. Deweese who lost his child, about fifteen months old, by drowning, on the 18th ult. Mr. De weese owns the old ferry known as Puckett’s, across the Etowah river about two miles from town, and his residence is about fifty yards therefrom. Some one had left the gate open and the child passed out. made its way to the rive and is supposed got on the flat and fell overboard and drowned.— Cartersville Express. The following is the list of gradu- j ates of the Dalton Female College for the year 1877 : Misses Ella Harlan, Ai ( ice Harris, Florence Humphreys, Nan- | uie Johnston, Katie Kennedy, Alice ! Moore, Minnie Rogers, Mollie Shu I mate, Edkh Walker, Eva Wooten and Jessie Wooten. Want of space compels us to make a ’ simple statement of a sad tragedy, the I news of which so painfully shocked this 1 community last Sunday morning : Mr. John Baily had until recently been merchandising at F oyd Springs, in this county. Lately the firm of Bal lenger & Baily was dissolved, and Mr. Baily expected to move with his family to DeSoto. Saturday afternoon about 3 o’clock he went to his wife nd told her he would ride over and see a neighbor about assisting in moving them to town. Parting with her, more affectionately than usual, he went t> the stable. About 5 o’clock, a crowd of negro children, who bad been plav ing about the stuble, came rushiug to the house, ciying out, ‘‘Mars Jonn is hanging dead in the stable.” And such was the sad fact. It is thou 'ht that after adjusting the fatal noose of a rope which was suspendel to a pole ex tending across the upper part of the stable, he got on his horse, and whip ping the horse from under him, was left alo te to struggle with the horrible death that he had sought. A note pin ned on the lapel of his coat, bade a loving good-by to bis wife, and stated that financial trouble was the cause of his rash act. Mr. Baily was about twenty-eight years of age, and about seven months ago married Mke Ida Moreton. He was a prominent member of the church and his moral character was without reproach. He was buried yesterday morning. Let us hope that a merciful God has granted him that rest for the weary which lie vainly sought here.— Home Courier , 29th. ANNOUNCEMENT. To the People of Cordon , Whitfield and Murray counties : This is to aunounce to you the fact that I am a candidate for Delegate to the Constitutional Convention of the State ofGeoigia soon to be held, in the event the people determine by a major ity of their votes to hold such Conven tion. The voters of the State, irre spective of political parties, according to the act bringing on the election, the 12th day of this month, are the sole judges as to the propriety of calling a Convention for the purpose of jnaking changes in their organic law. Should a majority of the whole vote of the State cast deside in favor of holding a Convention for this purpose, it will be my pleasure and chief ambition, if elected, to serve the varied interests of the good and industrious people with whom it has been my happy lot to live since childhood, establishing so far as in my power exists a system of political economy in our organic law, dispensing to all of the citizens of Georgia the most perfect rights, with the least ex pense possible. I have not spaca here to give my views on the important issues which may be before that Convention for con sideration. I shall, if elected, however, insist on vesting in the people them,, selves the source of all power in every good Democratic or Republican form if government the right to rule and con trol at the ballot box. 1 shall favor the holding of sessions of the Legislature not exceeding once every two ye?rs. I most gratefully thank my many friends who have signified their desire for me to become a candidate in the 43d Sena torial District. Respectfully, your obedient servant, J. C. FAIN. Georgia, Gordon County. Notice is hereby given to all persons concerned, that on the day of month of year of Elijah Stan sell, late of Gordon county, departed this life intestate, and no person has ap plied for administration on the estate of said Elijah Stansell, and that in terms of the law administration will be vested in the Clerk of the Superior Court, or some other fit and proper person thirty days after the publication of this cita tion unless some valid objection is made to his appointment.

Ayer's Aguo Cure, For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Favor, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Aj*ue. Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed all the affections which anse 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 Jet discovered for the cure of Intermittcnts 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 Inst 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 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 uutil 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, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal pitation, Splenic A flections, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and dcrangc of the Stomach, all of which become intermit tent or periodical, liav't: no speedier remedy than Ayer’s Ague Cure. Which cures them all alike, and protects the system from future attacks. A s a preventive, it is cf immense service in those communities where Fevpr and Ague prevails, as it stays the development of the disease if taken on the first approach of the premonitory symp toms. Travellers ami 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 froth torpidity, it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ into healthy activity, and produces many remark able cures where other medicines fail.
