Off to the Colleges.
Of the young ladies from Gordon
county who have previously attended
the Dalton Female College Misses Ella
Harlan and Ella Lurch are the only
two who return the present session.—
Miss Sallie Young will attend Home
Female College another term.
Music Boxes aud Albums.
These are very nice things for pres
ents or to keep for your own use. An
album in which you can place your own
picture and those of your friends, and
at the same time make it produce tbe
most delightful strains of music, is cer*
tainly a valuable article to have. Or
der from the “Music Emporium,” Knox
ville, Tenn.
Change of Advertising.
From this date all the legal adverti
sing of Gilmer couDty will be changed
from the Calhoun Times to the Elli
jay Courier. This change is not made
on account of any dissatisfaction wi‘h
the Times, but because of tbe Courier
being established in our own county.

Personal
Mr. A. C. Ladd, of Atlanta, who is
manufacturer of Ladd’s Alkaline Fer
tilizer, was in town Monday. Be in
forms us he is having fine success with
this fertilizer, which is a home produc
tion, having the merits of the high
priced phosphates, while its price is on
ly twenty-five dollars per ton It is high
ly recommended for use on wheat. Mr.
Ladd also manufactures Ladd’s Hydraul
ic Lime, which is superior for plastering
purposes to any other lime in use, as
numerous testimonials which ho carries
bear evidence.
1 he Ta 1 Hold.
In town there is a man who owns a
cow that has a way of switching her
tail too frequently while the better half
is milking, brushing her across the face
and thus causing great annoyance. To
evade this the considerate husband makes
himself a rude spectacle; still he may
be seen twice a d.iy bolding with one
hand a half grown yearling by the ear,
while the other hand is employed in
holding the tail of the cow, and the
wife proceeds with her milking in as
much peace as if the cow was a bob
tailed cow. Some may think this tail
overdrawn.
Court Week,
The September term of Gordon Su
perior Court opened last Monday, the
following grand juror being sworn in for
the first week : John M Patton, C A
Harris, S T Cantrell, R T llecse, S R
Bird, J R Green, C J Wright, H B
Herrington, J R Bates, E Strickland,
R M Pittman, J II Thornbrough, W S
Tomlin, T J Miller, A M Smith, 3 W
Owens, J H Fox, B F Conaway, V L
Roberts, W C P Austin,
Capt. J. M. Patton was elected Fore
man. Judge McCutchen in his charge
to the jury dwelt particularly upon the
statutes relating to the liquor traffic,
and also to carrying concealed
weapons, to the public roads, buildings,
&c., the charge being a brief
embodiment of sound sense and reason.
He discharges lousiness in a summary
and satisfactory mannei,and is deserving
of high praise as a Judge. The busi
ness of the Court is not as large as atthe
last two sessions, and is likely to be dis
patched rapidly. Among the members
of the bar present from other places we
notice Cols. Johnson, Walker and Shu
mate,of Dalton; Johnson,Field,and War
ren'Aiken, of Cartcrsville.
Local Signs of the Times.
An old colored lady imparts tbe in
formation that “ dem Projickin’ Meth
ods’ done got anoder distracted rneetin’
goin’ on down at de colored folks’
church.”
Rev. A. C. Thomas being unavoida
bly prevented from filling his appoint
ment, the pulpit at the Methodist Church
was occupied last Sunday, both morn
ing and night, by Rev. D. T. Espy.
Hightower’s gong, the colored pro
tracted meeting, an auctioneer and the
bailiff will keep up fuss and excitement
enough during court.
D. T. Espy has moved his boot, and
shoe shop to the old Times office stand,
where he is ready to accommodate all
his customers.
What most distresses the young men
now is the fact that he of the brush and
lather has departed.
Hightower fed forty-six at dinner,
Monday, which he thinks a big thing
for Calhoun.
The bar of Calhoun is to have anoth
er accession after a while in the person
of S- R. Freeman, who begins the study
of law with Fain & Milner this week.
The man with the flying ponies was
the sensation of yesterday, and being
well patronized, he wore a continual
smile.
The driver of one of our drays was mad
yesterday morning. He was going down
Court House street with a load of lum
ber, when his dray come uncoupled, the
lumber tilted, and he fell over in front
while the mule went on as if nothin';
was the matter.
A mare belonging to Tarver under
took to furnish a first class sensation
Saturday by running down the street
with a pair of buggy shalves attached
to her, but she was overhauled.
Mrs. Bolt, an old lady of this place
while assisting Mrs. Hammett to milk
the other evening, was knocked down
by a wild heifer, and badly hooked in
the shoulder before she was rescued
from the enraged beast.
Our new table has been dedicated by
a huge sweet potato raised by Prof.
W. C. Holmes. It is of what is known
as the Butch variety, and weighs 31
pounds, which is fine for the season.
Three interesting letters appear in the
Times this week. Others have been
crowded out.
Gen. A. C. Garlington has sent us a
copy of his drama, “The Fatal Mar
riage,” which we find written in a pleas
ant and intertaining stylo. This drama
can be had at 25 cents, and we can
supply any who want a copy at this
office.
Runaway Match.
The course of true love never did
run smoothly; but so far as the mem
ory of man runneth back, it has been
found that as the mighty river follows
its course so the affections of young peo
ple might as well be left undisturbed,
or a matrimonial result will be the end
at a time unlooked for, the opinion of
the household heads to the contrary not
withstanding. In Sugar Valley lived
Miss Tinnie Staggs, and also Mr. A. C.
Shugart, who have for some time past
entertained for each other feelings of
intimacy, to which the father of the
young lady did not give his paternal
sanction. List Sunday night however,
the two agreed to consummate matters
and while the parents were away, and
others of the family nothing suspecting,
her trunk and fixings were handed out
into a vehicle from a back window, and
the two proceeded a short distance to
the house of Rev. W. M Bridges, where
the nuptial knot was tied in the presence
of a few of their friends, aud the twain
go on their way lejoicing.
