CALHOUN TIMES LOCAL. NEWS. 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 dry goods hill. We would take occasion to remind our subscribers who are in arrears that they can find no better time to pay their little bills than right now. We ueed money. The fruit is not as badly injured by the “ cold snap,” as was at first suppos ed, though the crop \yill undoubtedly be cut short considerably in this sec tion; ... More improvements are contempla ted this spring, we understand. The saw mills will be kept busy, we hope, iand our town will wear a brighter smile than ever. Pluck will tell VY e have received the first number of the Atlanta Times, of which Col. J D; Waddell is the political editor. The first number is rather creditable. We Wish it a prosperous career. Our peopie are now beginning to give those intolerable vagabonds the cold shoulder. The sooner this is done uni versally, the sooner they will go to work. Necess ty is the mother of many things. 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. Old Pi an gs and Organs.—Taken in part payment on new instruments at fair prices by W. F. Cummins, Knox ville, Tenn. Don’t keep y jur old in st. u merits idle and useless in the house but sell them and get something new stylirh and useful at a very low price. Avail yourself of this pportuu ty at once. Messrs. Bu.sii & Bro. will only re** tnaiu in Calhoun through the present week. I would be v li fur those who want pictures to c 11 without deiay. They guarantee their wortc to compute with the best in their line in every particular, and only ask a trial to 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 eaca the 29th of April iu each >ear 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 'nci hut all available property has been bold at figures beyond the reach of those with moderate means* and honce niany have been compelled to remain cramped with high rents aad other like disadvantages, when if they had found those who were willing to helj?< them they would have done much, in. icupros viuga n( j beautifying the tov. n, which all •hould fuel a duty 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.
