tics of Clerk. Sheriff E. G. Gram

were perfectly sat home" in the dis
charge of their many onerous duties
of their offices, and we tender them
many thanks for the courteous treat
ment given us during our brief stay
Our esteemed friend, Col. W. r. d.
Moss, the county Ordinary, was
merged in any amount of business,
but, with zeal and ability, he twas
ded through" looking as pleasant as
those whom he had pleased by his
many acts of kindness. Our friend,
w. j. Hudson, is man after our
own liking, does things with vim
and gives satisfaction.
We met many of our esteemed
friends on this occasion, among whom
were Joshua Roberts, Capt. Hardin,
S. nj. Mcdonnell, Squire Jas. Price,
Squire Joseph Knox, and others, to
whom we return thanks for the val
liable assistance rendered in extend
ing the circulation of the JOURNAL.
The lawyers, as usual, were nu-
merous, and we had some very pleas
ant "chats" with some of them. The
local bar Col. Jas. o. Dowda, Col.
j.. r. Brown, Hon. w. A. Teasely

N. Lester, Col. G. D. Phillips and
Gen. VIM. Phillips, of Marietta, and
last though not least, Col. E. l..
Litcbfield Of Acworth. We also met
Mr.. P. H.sBrewster, Of the Carriers
vile Standard & Express, who is
lively in conversation and quite a
talented and clever fellow, and, Gas
our slocap NEAL would say, he
looked the better for having a "laun-
dyy" at Cartersville, and shows in
appearance that he believes "cleanli
ness is next thing to godliness."
We took lodging with that whole
souled gentleman, and esteemed
friend, Uncle Frank Daniel, who
keeps one Of the best hotels as can
be found in any similar located town.
Everything that can please the palate
refresh the timer man." he supplies
his table with, and he is as good
worker for the JOURNAL, as can be
found 10 that section, unless its Joe.
Barton, of Ball Ground, who is ever
active, industrious and genial, win
ming golden opinions for himself and
doing US services we appreciate.
The JOURNAL is the paper for the
Cherokee people, and has "the larg-
est circulation" Of any paper in that
county. The people show their love
of the Journal by sending us home
with large list Of "paid-up" sub
scribers, while many renewed. We
will still try 20 merit their patronage
and good viii and give them a good
paper. The people of that county
are wide-awake and looking to their
best interests. Their farms show
that they have not been idle, but ex-
hibit thorough cultivation. The
finest crops Of cotton and corn we
have ever seen, are now growing in
Cherokee. The lands are rich and
teemiDg 81 it'll fruits, and notwith-
standing much rain and heap Of
grass, the farmers have their crops
now clear of noxious weeds and old
'.mother earth" promises to reward
their toll with an abundant increase,
and this fall, we predict, their pock-
cts will be lined with sgreenbacks"
One Of the best evidences Of recu-
peration, is, that the people have fine,
stock of every kind, and have bought
new buggies and wagons, and are.
building new houses and adding to
their personal convenience and COM
fort.
We were favorably impressed with
Cherokee, and grati6ed at the sue
cess she is meeting in advancing the
industrial and agricultural pursuits.
The minerals too, are being developed
and the gold and copper mines
wo, ked with fair remuneration.
During the Court sessions, Mr..
Joseph NJ. Brown, was, after credi
table examination, admitted to the
bar. He will perfect himself al
Harvard University. He is the sor
of Coy. j e. Brown, and exhibits
the same inteIlectuaI shrewdness. =
A lndicrous law case was that Of q
Mr. Smith, a preacher, who was W
for SANDER. He called the PITrsKs

quoted from Mr.. Kent, and dug
