ARTHUR’S. < I ► Wheat Shipped- —We have taken some pains to ascertain the amount of wheat ship ped by our Calhoun grain buyers, and find it to be about 29,897 bushels. Fair Mount. —We understand there fc to be a big sale of town lots in Fair Mount soon. If such be the case, we suppose the interested parties will let the time be known through the columns of the Times. We Suppose delegates to the District meet ing in Cartersville next month will be ap pointed at a meeting of our citizens on next Sale day. It is too early to nominate Can didates for the Legislature or county officers, ns the former are elected in November, and the latter not till Januaiy next. ANY QUANTITY of ‘‘Fine Virginia Leaf " and Manufactured Tobaccos at DeJOURNETT & SON’S, Cor. Broad & Bridge sts., Romo, Ga. Huge. —We saw at Pitts & Johnson’s the other day, a lot of beautiful bacon sides, the average weight of which w. s forty nine pounds. It was sold from the plantation of Judge J. M. Harlan, one of the most success ful farmers in our county ; and who, by-tlie hy, is up to this time, ahead of all competi tion in the water-melon line. Fine Apples.— Mr. J. M. Reeve has pre sented us with a sample lot of splendid, large, red, juicy apples, grown on his place in this county. They are as fine as any country can produce, and shows what a little care and attention devoted to our orchards will accomplish. Sugars, Coffees, Teas, Syrup, Rice, Cheese, Pepper and Spire, and Factory Yarns in abundance at DeJOURNETT & SON’S, Corner Store, Rome, Ga. Breathes there a man with soul so dead That never to himself hath said, The Calhoun Times is our home paper, it labors for the good of all; it helps to sell our produce, our lands and our goods, and I will subscribe at once, and strive to teach my neighbors the importance of giving a help ing hand to this great institution. Rev. W. A. Parks, Agent of the American Bible Society, occupied the pulpit of the church hereon Sabbath last, in behalf of the Society. We regret that we were prevented from attending, as we understand the meet ing was one of considerable interest. As one of the good results, we learn that the services of Mr. C. Arnold have been secured, and he will take the matter in hand and bring it practically before every family in the county.

Citizens of Gordon, remember, that on the first Tuesday in September, a meeting of our County Agricultural Club will be held for the purpose of adopting a constitution, elect ing officers —permanent organization and preparation for business. It will not do for our people to sleep over this interest any longer. Other sections, with inferior re sources to our own are going ahead, building up their Agricultural Societies, and with these, their material wealth. Will we lag behind, until overshadowed by the greatness of our neighbors, the unlimited resources of old Gordon are lost sight of by the outside world, and she is put down upon the maps as one of the few waste places in the Empire State? No farmer or other citizen [can say he is not directly interested in this matter. If the considerations of general progress— the advancement in the science of agricul ture —does not move a man to act, that of dollars and certs certainly should. If proper steps are taken by this club, and it is partici pated in by all the people, we dare say, that in less than five years from to-day, fifty per cent, can be added to the average price of lands in Gordon county. Then let everybody turn out, put the right men at the wheel, and get to work in earnest. W’e learn that R. W. Phillips, member of the State Executive Committee for this Dis trict is expected to be present, and deliver an address. Remember the day, and come, everybody. - Always on hand, the very best and cheapest of Groceries. For sale by DeJOURNETT & SON, Cor. Broad & Bridge sts,, Rome, Ga. Churches and Schools. In speaking of the above subjects, we wotrld crave the indulgence of our readers, if we seem to be much engrossed with their necessity and impoi'tance, as contributors to the public weal. Having at heart the good and prosperity of our town, we shall always urge upon the attention of our citizens those improvements which must ever be of vital importance to a community. W’e may confidently assert as a general fact, that the condition of Churches and Schools in a place, always indicates the tone and character of the inhabitants. When we see a community enjoying the blessings and benefits of religion and education to the highest extent, we may be sure that progress and prosperity obtain among the people, that all the wheels of improvement are properly and that a genial feeling of easy satisfaction, is the portion of the happy re cipients. Here, in such a section as the above, the principles and feelings of human nature receive their appropriate culture and refinement, spreading such a benign and sal utary influence all around, as to attract with in the charmed circle, all the dissolute and bad in the scope of its bearings. Here it is that those feelings of our nature, which bear and forbear arc fostered and cherished, and all the machinery of human government and human action controlled and directed by the powerful force of religion, moves on in the most wonderful harmony, inculcating the Divine Precept, “Peace on earth and good will to men.’’ There i3 no agency that exer cises so spiritual an influence in the soul of man, for good, as pure and undefiled reli gion ; none a more controlling effect over the mind of man than education. With this short preface to the subject more immediate ly in view, we will speak more pointedly to the condition of our own Churches and Schools. Calhoun and vicinity, with a population of near one thousand inhabitants, enjoying many of the appliances necessary to their prosperity and progress, in comparison with other places of smaller note, yet, lags be hind, seemingly bereft of that energy and enterprise which should characterize a pro gressive people. The little old hull of a church which stands at the extremity of Court House street, must ever be a crying shame to the people of our town. It is over five years since the cessation of hostilities, and yet, we have not recuperated sufficiently to build one house of worship in which to praise the Living God ! Sabbath after Sab bath comes and goes and no interests felt for Holy things. Arouse, we say, arouse, our fellow-men, and let immediate steps be taken to wipe away this reproach from among us. We would suggest that a more suitable and convenient situation be secured, and a good and substantial building be erected to the honor and glory of our Maker. By so doing, and continuing therein, a degree of thrift and prosperity will bless our place to such an extent as it has never before witnessed, and which will cause the cry to go up. Be hold ! “What a great matter a little fire kin dletli!” Schools, we are gratified to state, are as suming a more encouraging aspect in this community. We are glad to be able to lend our tribute of appreciation to the masterly and efficient manner in which the exercises of our school at the Academy are conducted. 1 hough the school is now prosperous and flourishing, it behooves us to make it doubly so, by concentrating all our efforts towards building up a school of a high order in our midst. Let these two great agencies be firm ly established, and we will have but little teai about the morality and enlightenment of our people and the condition of rising youth. Gordon County Farmers, .whenever vou visit Rome don’t fail to call on DcJournett & Son for Groceries. ■< » » A Little Fortune for a Dollar.— This is what we would call cheaper than dirt, but it is nevertheless the case that somebody is go ing to get a fine river farm in this rich section for the pitiful sum of one dollar. A fine farm, a good dwelling house and lot. a splendid pair of large match horses or mules, or a fine carriage or buggy, are not to be “picked up every day.” And yet, one dol lar \\ ill procure a ticket, giving the purchaser a fair chance at these very desirable prizes. This grand scheme has been gotten up by a number of our good citizens, for the pur pose of selling off property, and adding to the population and wealth of our section.— It is no wild speculation of unsettled adven turers, and these facts being known through out this section and many others, accounts for the we* ierful rapidity with which the tickets are being sold. Read the list of prizes, and other particulars in the huge advertise ment of Messrs. Hicks & Cos., in another column. , —« —>» Gh ! for a Spring chicken ! Plain Truths. —Mr. Z. T. Gray, of Cal houn, whose advertisement will be found in another column, manufactures wagons and buggies with a special eye to their use in this rocky, limestone country. His experience in the business enables hiip to determine all the various points in their construction which are necessary to long usage. We have seen wagon’s of Mr. Gray’s make which had been in continuous hard serviee for three years, without the expenditure of one cent for re pairs. There is a reliable citizen of Gordon county who will testify that he has had one of Mr. Gray’s buggies in constant use for eight years, and has only paid out fifty cents for repairs during that time. After learn ing these facts we were not surprised at the ready sale Mr. Gray finds for his wagons and buggies. A late inmate of the Cincinnati Or phan Asylum has fallen heir to $30,000 by the death of a grandfather. That poor orphan will soon find plen ty of deeply interested relatives now. you bet. The question which led Napoleon in to war was, “Who shall take the place of Isabella on the Spanish throne ?” The question which will probably be de cided by the war is, “Who shall take Napoleon’s place on the throne of France ?” The German paper in Burlington, lowa, floats the Prussian flag over its office. THE STATiTrOAD. Governor Bullock’s message trans mitting reports on public institutions appeared in the Constitution Wednes day. We will have something to say of the various reports hereafter. At pre sent we will only give that part referring to the State Boad. I transmit the report of the Western and Atlantic Railroad for the fiscal year ending October 1, 1869 : The total receipts were $1,138,300 63 The total disbursements 822,195 75 Excess of receipts $ 316,105 08 Ratio of working expen ses ’ 58 58-100 per cent. THE QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE RUARTER ENDING JULY 1, 1870, Gives receipts for the last quarter of this year at $ 320,165 23 And the total expenses 394,190 23 Os this amount $112,411 42 were extraordinary expenses, viz : For new rails $76,678 26 For new cars 14.358 25 For new, and repairs to, depot buildings, 13,921 68 For spikes, wheels, &e. 7,453 13 If these extraordinary expenses had not been met, the amount paid into the treasury for the last quarter would have been say SIOO,OOO, unless accidents likely to result from insecure track and inefficient machinery should have re duced this amount. I have believed that a wise economy and proper management of the road de manded that it be placed in first-class order, and I have, therefore, approved the expenditures necessary for new rails, etc., to accomplish this result. I have been willing to endure the censure of the thoughtless who complain of the management of the road, rather than allow this great State property to be temporarily patched up at a nominal expense, and to the risk of the lives of the thousands who pass over it. Still greater outlays are necessary to put the whole line in first-class order, with sufficient equipment to transact, without delay, the largely increasing business. I respectfully submit to the considera tion of your honorable body, whether it is not wise to provide means for the immediate restoration of the road to proper condition, rather than defer it to be accomplished gradually from its earn ings.
