Strawberries will soon be along in
their loveliness and sweetness. We’ll
take ours with cream, and sweetened.
‘‘ My dear wife,” said a Calhoun
man the other day when he paid a big

We would take occasion to remind
our subscribers who are in arrears that

Saturday was all Pool’s Hay, and a
number of little *• fools ” were perpetra
ted. One of our nearest neighbors how
ever, gays the worst he was fooled was
when a certain fellow paid him two dol
lars he had owed him so loDg.
Attention is directed to the adver
tisement of Msrk YV. Johnson & Wood
ruff, Atlanta. Our farmers who will be
needing harvest machinery will find the
stock of these gentlemen complete -md
their prices to suit the hard times.
There is uo oaluulating the value of
a little printer's ink. A gentleman ad
vertised a piece of land in the Times
some time ago, and made a sale at a
fair price in less than a week £nd at*
it to the advertisement.

couviuce every one of what they say.
Our fair ones should remember that
Memorial day is not far off and the
custom of decorating the graves at Re

should not be neglected. A speaker
will have to be selected and requested to
be present, and transportation must be
looked after. Let the day be observed
with the usual solemnity, and contiuue
to show respect to those who in defence
of our homes went to their eternal
rest.
13. M & C. C. Harlan, the go
ahead young proprietors of the Cheap
Cush Store have made their spring ven
tures in purchasing goods, and will cohn
stantly add during lhe season saleable
articles in their line. But the must
notable feature of their business is the
astonishingly low figures at which they
offer their stock. The ladies, especial
ly, should not think of missing an op
portunity of being waited on with a smile
by two handsome young gentlemen, and
we commend them as deserving their
patronage. They keep a handsome lot
of prints and other dress goods, and a
general stock to select from that vies
with any in this section.
One grievance which has retarded
the growth of Calhoun is the exorbi
tant figures at which people hold real
estate, and a too general disposition to
not sell at all. This is clearly proven
by the fact that after the sale of lots by
the commissioners un< r the new sur/
last fall, where par res purchased at
low figures and on easy terms, that part
°1 > town spring up in buildings al
most like magic. There are plenty of
people who would be only too glad to
help build up and improve our town if
they were only allowed a deceut show

Letter from Alabama.
Cherokee County, Ala., )
March 31st, 1876. J
Mr. Editor .-—Dear sir—The Times
for March Bth came to hand to-day. It
was very welcome. It seemed like a ray
of sunshine from the land of my birth
Almost every column brings up metho.
ries of the past. Katnes of many of
my boyhood friends, almost forgotten,
are recalled to my mind, and it s ems
but yesterday that we sported together
iu the streets of Calhoun, or gathered
together ia Che school room. Again it,
cads to mind many who shouldered
their arms and went forth to do battle
for their country and their rights ; and
by an association of ideas s'une (and
they were not a few) who sealed their
devotion with their life blood. Many
who gave promise of a glorious manhood,
who seemed destined for high and re*
sponsible position in society ; who were
the pride and reliance of the communis
ty, and especially of their owu home
circle. “ Death loves a shining mark,’*
’tis said, and indeed, he has stricken
down many of Old Gordon’s bravest and
best, and some has la'len since the great
struggle whose memories are enshrined
in our heart.
When we glance back at our school
boy days, they scarely seem to be in
the past, and yet when we call up in
detail, the mighiy events which have
transpired ; the four long years of trial
and bloodshed; the scarcely less bitter
struggle aga;nst the tyrany and corrupt
lion of the succeeding years, and which
I fear is not ended. When we revise
all this, it seems almost an age since we
ducked with our companions in ante
bellum times. But enough of refcroo
spection ; we have to do with the pres
ent and the future. u Let us prtvide
for the future by improving the pres
ent.” Let us gird ourselves for the
struggle and be ready for any emergen
cy.
Although there are some clouds on
our political horizon yet the future looks
Mopeful. I trust t-ur prospects m y not
be blighted by a waut of unity and
perseverance on the part of the friends
of the Constitution, liberty, and law.
Our people are still rejoiciug over
their disenthrallment. Alabama seems
to have anew lease of life. She has
been purging her executive, legislative,
and judicial halls. Her people antici
pate a prosperous and happy future.
We have bad very disagreeable
weather lately. We had a perfect hur
ricane Wednesday night last, prostra
ting fences, trees, and houses. Several
of our neighbors had their stables and
cribs blown down and in two or three
instances the tops of dwelling houses
/ere lilted entirely off. Again on Sun
day night the storm was even more vio
lent in some localities, and in addition
to this we had a heavy fall of sn v w, in
cnsequence cf which all farming oper
tii ns are at present suspended. YVe fear
that the T uit is killed.
The farmers are generally up with
their business in this section. I believe
there will be less cotton cotton planted
here than usual, Our people are be
ginning to see the necessity for raising
their own supplies
The Giangersin aro a thriving condi
tion generally. They are endeavoring
to develop the resources of our own
country and encourage home enterprise.
We have a county Grange now, from
which we anticipate much benefit.—
Among other go i things they have
passed a resolution to encourage and
support our county paper, The Chero
kee Advertiser, a lively little sheet pub
lished at Center. But I will not tres
pass further on your time and space. —
Looking anxiously for the weekly visit
of the Times and wishing it abundant
success, I am respectfully yours,
Q. C L.

on the commons Monday morning. She
belonged to James Hays and had to be
killed.
