CALHOUN TIMES "local news. Couat is in session at Dalton this week. You R not to eat the lucious oyster after this month. The waters are dovn and the Mary Carter is up — the river. Bens are laying aggs at ten cents per dozen, which is about as low as they fc.in afford and furnish the material. (The oldest girl now lets out a cou ple of tucks in last season’s white dress and wonders how soon the first picnic frill turn up. Wa.-TED.—A small white girl capa ble of doing light housework, and ma king herself generally useful, can find a desirable and permanent home. Ap- J)!y at this office. A sm/rt husband while planting his Onion..sets ashed his better half why his eyes were not eye*, and she gave it tip. “ Because my dear," said he u these sets make them water." CaUpet Store One of the promi nent institutions of Atlanta is the spl e n. did carpet store of W. A. Ilaygood, borner of Broad and Marietta streets.— Mr. H. is a wide awake dealer and is leading the ttade in his department. Tuts is ieap year, hut the young la* dies don’t loaf around church doors and tnake remarks as to how pretty the young men look as they modestly pass in and out. See the point, young men. Mack Law, coloied, an experienced barber, lias opened a shop in the rear room of 11. M Jackson's store, where lie is prepared to do hair-cutting, shav ing, etc., in good style. We trust oar people will bestow on Mack a good pat ronage, as he is polite and deserving. Now is the time to fix up the blood and harks and “ yarbs," of different sorts in ‘‘spents," are now seen on 111 most any mantlepiecJo. An old fellow of our acquaintance who has tried it every way says lie swings the hark to tlio neck of the bottle on the outside and finds it suits him mighty well Times are hard, we know, hut when we have less loafing, less grumbling, and more honest work, we may expect an improvement. There are about three quarters of the human family that don’t ea r n their owii food and clothes, which makes it tougher foi the other quarter. Calhoun is literally surrounded by sli'w mills, and lumber is cheaper than known since (he war. If the people had tnohev there would he no tell'ng the amount of improvements we might expectin the next few months. r lhc mills seem to be doing a fine business, a great deal of lumber being shipped away. The Marshal’s street force are at work getting our sidewalks and streets in presentable shape. r l he tax is five dollars this .year, which ought to go a lonir wa}*s in making improvements, though an effort is being made to have the tax reduced to three dollars oil nti count of the stringency in money mat ters.

TnE attention of our readers is direct, ed to the attractive little advertise ment, which appears in this issue, of Poole & Hunt, the widely known and Machinists oi Baltimore, Md. Several thousand mills through* out the United States have been equip ped by this firm and their Water \Yheels, Steam Engines, Mill Gearing Presess&c., are known and highly appre ciated in almost every section of the Western Hemisphere. When you need anything in their line, give them a tri al ; you will not he disappointed. letter l'i’oiii Atlanta. Atlanta, Ga., April 10, 1876. Dear 1 trues itli a tope of be ing pardoned lor my silence, and a de* sire to preserve fraternal feeling your tnanv intelligent readers, for au old contributor, I sen i you these few jottiuga. Everything ..here ly dull—duller in 'act than at any time within the last and cade. The financial stringency prevalent in money matters seems to be attributed to a luck of con* fidence among business men. Atlanta has been the scene of quite a number of heavy failure the past win ter. Several very large houses have suspended which of course has serious ly injured the credit of our merchants abroad, but still standing out where they have withstood the storms of many financial winters will soon convince those at a distance that they are still worthy of their confidence and indul gence. For thorough “go ahead," our merchants have no superiors. While we regard times “ dull," visitors say we have the liveliest city in all the South. The Notthwe.tern excursionists who were recently au ong us expressed them selves as highly pleased with our city and people, and said they would go home as witnesses against those their North ern brethren who have so long repre sented us as a semi civilized race of be ings who have always treated their peo ple as enemies and the negroes as beasts of burden. They went home thoroughly convinced that we had buried the tom ahawk and were ready to smoke the pipe of 4 peace—though the latter doe taste a little bitter. Who will be our next Governor ? is the oft repeated query on the street corners, in the club-room, among the loafers, and professional politicians, and everywhere else just at this time.— Among the many names suggested that of John 11. James seems to he the strongest. The majority of our people seem to think we a good financier, thoroughly competent to clear up all the encuml ranges that *t present surround our State Treasury. A man who is a friend to the laborer who from morning to night follows the pi ugh, or the hod carrier, rs well as the business man or millionaire. Like the radio and conduc tor who wore his fine diamond, Mr. Janies has enough and consequently he would he content with the honor of be ing Governor of proud old Georgia.— That such ati aspiration may be reach ed by this worthy gentleman before an other winter has come and gone is the true wish of your humble correspon dent. As your roaders are doubtless aware, two newspapers have perished here since mv last, letter—the Herald and Courier. The Times is now hiunced.“ Hard Times” would he a more appro] riate name for the next theee or four months at least The ole reliable (Constitu tion) still hangs out her dag to the breeze, supported in style by her many admirers. Henry Grady, late of the Herald is corresponding from this place for an Augusta paper. Col Marcellus E. Birdeater—ne • Thornton is one of the sensations of our city at ] resent having recently eaten thirty patridges in as many consecutive days. Since the feat or in consequence thereof' he has improved wonderfully in flesh and features. A good square meal on birds or any other meat once a day for a month is calculated to “ fatten up ” any news paper man. Occasionally we receive a call from an old Calhoun frieud. Col. McConnell was here last week,but spent most of his time near Jame’s bank. I thought he was canvassing for a pea-nut stand near the corner or trying to get on the Jame’s ticket for Lieutenaut- Governor. But he candidly assured me that he was only watching with water ing eyes the cashier as he counted out the greens," and imagining how nice it was to lea hunker, and also looking at the huge pile of '* Confed ” in the window which carried him back to those days in Virginia that tried men’s souls. Le is a good fellow and will always find the latch string of my quarters on the outside aud a hearty welcome within.— Culs. Fain and Rankin also favored me with a call last week. The former was trying to find out what the b-'ys meant by “ pull down your vest." Bro. Runs kin was up at Rev. Mr. Fitch’s lay° irg in a supply of tracts and son" books for the summer campaign. Joe carried home some red hack dime novels for his two boys. Begging you to excuse such a leughty cnropchmeut on your columns I am as eve,r Medicus. Talk l T l> VOltr Town. Yes, talk it up and work it up. If it lias good schools, good churches newspapers, and clean streets, talk it rip. Don’t grumble if anything and everything is not up to your ideas es pecially if you do nothing to help make the place. Don’t tell stiangersit is the worst place you know of to bring up a child, unless you know, than any other town of tne same size. Give encour agement to every useful.and creditable enterprise in our midst, fur as sure as effect follows cause, so sure will enter prise or merit repay every citizen. We cannot live unto ourselves, and we can not discourage any movement in behalf of a place without reflecting upon our/ selves a personal injury. If you see c needed improvement, demand it, take it up vigorously until the whole com munity is impregnated with the idea— until a storm of public sentiment corn* pletes the work ; hut if you can’t have everything that is needed, remember in that respect it is just like thousands of clhei places in the land. Keep talk, ing and encouurging, but do not grum ble. Don’t stop because some poor mummy, out of whom has withered all public spirit and love of all advance* raent moans out his sepulchral whine, •' it won’t pay." Show to your live fellows that it trill pay, and leave to the mummy his embalmed dust and sta* pidity, and by and by you will eee the result of your courago and talk in uni versal iuiprovoment, increased faculties for husiuess, cultivated sooiety, and a broad, liberal generous spirit that per vades and vivifies, making pleasant and beautiful every place which it enteis. Washington, April 6.—The House to-day promptly passed the Senate bill reducing the pay of the President after the 4th of March next to 825/100. — Probably no official act of Grant will give him so much anxiety a£ the dispo.. sal of this bill. He promptly appruved the bill increasing his pay to 860,000, and now he is called upon to approve an act which will make the pay of his suc cessor the same as that of his predecea ors. Should he approve it, it would De a confession that he has taken 825,000 annually more than he needed, and if he vetoes it courtesy require that he state his reasons, and he could not make it appear that his expenses hate been anywhere near the large sum an nually paid him. “ When thou art old and rich, Thou hast neither heart, affection, limb Or beauty To make thy riches pleasant.” It is surprisinghow few books have been written on the diseeases incident to old age. We know of no work that w -uld be more generally read by the medico.le gal world or In fact by all classes, than a ‘‘Treatise on the medical mananement of old age." written in a plain style and free from all technicalities, nor do we know of any medicine that is more hap pily adapted to the alleviating of the pains and aches of the aged than Dr,.
