ITO ARMS, YE BRAVE
Marietta, Canton and Elliiay Railroad

Marietta, Canton and Ellijay Railroad.
We understand that the bill au-
thorizing the Governor to put con-
victs upon this road passed the Leg
islature, and we have assurances
that the Governor is friendly to the
building of this Road, it being one
of the most important railroad enter
prises now on foot. At late meet
ing of the board of directors, Hon.
James r. Brown was elected Presi-
dent, which is . surety that matters
viii be speedily energised and assid-
nous efforts made to build the road.
On tomorrow meetings will be held
a. Ellijay, Canton and other places,
to awaken proper interest in the
work and see what help the people
are willing to render.
One hundred convicts can be
obtained to commence the work, but
they have to be fed and guarded !;
will the citizens of Cobb, Cherokee,
Pickens, Gilmer, and the other
counties adjoining, that would be
benefited by the building of this
road, take stock and contribute of
their means to commence and furth-
err the work. AS soon as the first
ten miles are graded, there are par
ties who will invest, take stock, and
fully equip the ten miles, with roll
ing stock, iron, engine, &c., then
the ''vested rights" of Estate aid"
can be used in the completion of the
work.
We do trust our people will see
the importance of united and earn
est cooperation in this matter. Let
our City Council and citizens aid
and encourage this enterprise all
they can. The section of country
through which the road will pass, is
one of the finest and richest in the
South, and it is to the interest of the
entire State that it be built. The
prosperity and life of Marietta and
this immediate section depends upon
its construction. Then let us all for
one time be as a unit and build this
road. God helps those who are will
ing to help themselves, while He
leaves the sluggard to turn in pow
erty until he dies.
With this Road constructed, Ma.
rietta would take a new lease on
life and bound forward with redoub-
led energy, while every line of trade
and commerce would be quickened
and vitalized with new strength and
increased bulk-population would
flow Improperly advance-our COLI
leges, male and female, would of me-
cessity be built--industry prove re-
munerative-while towns, as, if by
magic, would spring up all along the
line of the road, and the latent en-
ergies Of this people would be slim
ulated and the work of developing
and turning to profit the resources
of this rich agricultural and mineral
country would commence in earn.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Man Sawed Almost in Twain.

We learn, through a friend, of a
most heart sickening accident, resulting in the
death of white man BY the name OF Mr.
Spruce, which occurred in the upper portion OF
Cobb county, on last Tuesday, at the saw mill
of Mr.. Gault. 1t seems while Mr.. Spruce was
engaged in running the Mill, he had occasion
to carry slab in close proximity to the clrcu-
lar saw then making tremend GUS revolutions,
and his foot coming in contact with something
on the floor, trpped him up and threw the
upper portion OF his body Immediately across
the sharp teeth Of the saw, which no sooner
than his left arm and breast touched the saw,
it commenced its deadly work of cutting
through clothing, flesh, arteries and bones.
His little son, who was in the mill at the
time, stopped the motion Of the machinery as
soon as possible, bu. his father was cut almost
in twain ere the sharp steel ceased TO revolve
within its bloody easement of human fiesh.-
When he was extricated from the fatal saw,
ghastly sight met the vision of those who came
to his assistance Abreathing man sawed al
most in twain, ribs split, flesh quivering, blood
gushing, while the unfortunate mans heart
could be seen. beating in expiring agony
Strange as it may seem, he lived four hours at
ter the awful accident, spoke nationally few
times to minister of Christ, and died. He
was buried on Wednesday.

Rev. Luther NJ. Smith.

This distinguished gentleman de-
livered two able sermons at the
Methodist Church, in this city, on
last Sunday, that for power and elo-
quence, profoundness of thought,
elegance of diction and scriptural
beauty, we have seldom heard
equaled. Mr.. Smith is ripe schol-
ar, thorough in all branches Of learn
ing, and great thinker. He was
President of the Oxford College for
years, meeting with eminent success
and winning golden opinions as an
educator. He visits our city with q
view of placing the Georgia Military
Institute and Normal College fore
most among the educational institu-
tions of the country, the last Legis-
lature having granted new charter
delegatins powers requisite to per-
feet organization. We trust he may
find it to his advantage to WELD his
valuable influence in behalf of edu.
cation in our midst.

A Country Lover.

Young men making calls on their
lady friends and sweethearts in town
generally leave promptly at 10
o'clock, as true politeness demands !;
but we have heard recently of a re-
spectacle "young gent" from the
"rural precincts" who visits some of
our sweetest and prettiest town girls
and finds their company SO delights
fully charming that he can't leave at
at all but stays all night. He has
often had hints rendered him that
the hour is late and that the parlor
should be vacated, viz: the young
ladies "yawn," rub their eyes, and
complain of being ''Oh ! SO sleepy"
but their country guest" seems not
to comprehend, but still persists in
talking, fully confirming the truth
of the couplet
"Where ignorance is bliss,
IT'S folly to be WISE"
Recently. however, they haye struck
on new plan, which if it does not
relieve them of their guest, at least
gives them more sleep. After en-
tertaining him as along as they wish,
they hand him a lamp and tell him
to go to bed, and their preferred
hospitality is always accepted, and
as he marches off to bed, you can
hear the girls, in the next room,
smothering down rebellious chuckles,
occasionally breaking out in keen
cha ha !" But he pays them back
by remaining till next day evening.
The best "hint" the ladies could
give him, would be to make out a
bill for aboard, lodging and lights"
which is seriously contemplated.

A Sudden Death.

On last Saturday morning, Mr..
John Richards, young man in the
employment of Mr.. G.. R. Boaz, of
this place, was taken sick very sud-
denly and died in hours time.
He was well and hearty, and full of
life the day before and retired that
night without making any COM
plants, but ere mornings sun had
climbed not more than half to meri>
dian, he was stiff and cold in death.
His remains were carried to Calhoun
for interment. He was well spoken
of by those who knew him and his
untimely death is deeply regretted
by numerous friends.
