OUR vrs1r TO CHEROKEE.
what we Saw-Daniels Hotel-Chero-
kee Superior court-Marietta e
North Georgia Railroad
&C., &c.

AS usual, with all other regular
and successful practitioners at the
Canton bar, with our Sunday go to
meetings" well adjusted, we left home
sin no mean style" to attend the cd
iourned Term of Cherokee Superior
Court.
The roads from Marietta to Canton
s.sOar bad" no mistake, and ever will
be until better located and better
worked. The marks of improves
ment and progress are visible at
every farm and farm house fencing
"righted up"-old fields brought
into cultivation, lard in good filth
wheat and oats looking remarkably
well--corn and cotton ground well
prepared and everything indicating
a prosperous year. The wheat
every where is good, but the field
of Mr.. T. N. Delany deserves spe-
cial notice. We never saw better,
and doubt whether better field can
be found in Georgia This field can
not but attract the attention of every
''passer by and we were curious to
know how it was made $50 good. "
Mr.. Delany informed us that he
prepared the ground we'll and ferti
lized with Storms Bone Dust, sold by
Mr.. Kent in Marietta. Whether
owing to the fertilizer, land or
cultivation, we will not determine
for we do not know, but we will
say that if every farmer in Cobb
and Cherokee had such field of
wheat, Cook & Cheek would not
have to go vest for wheat-but an
agricultural people would produce
their own bread stuffs and keep their
money at home. No insinuations
but somehow, it does strike US, that
farmers would get along better it
they would produce their own sup
plies. This may be DEPRESSING, but
we can't help feeling worried when
farmers tell us, "We like the JOUR-
NAL" but "can't subscribe because
we can't pay. Tttakes all our money
to buy corn and meat and -four
to make cotton.' Now think of it,
a whole family deprived of the jour
NAL. This valuable paper weekly
visitor, giving the news Of the day
and the sayings of the wise, because
farmer won't produce his own
bread and meat. Children growing
up in ignorance to raise cotton for
the "blasted Yankee" and then give
the Yankee the money he pays for
cotton for Yankee meat and bread.
AS tone citizen" we return thanks
to those who like Delany have
changed policy and who do produce
their own supplies, and pay for the
JOURNAL. Our advice to one and
all is, read the JOURNAL, and you
will get out of Gebt and learn to live
well at home. We are modest, but
must insist ON the truth-proof-De-
Iany never had such field Of wheat
nor ever saw "the like" until he sub
scribed, paid for, and read the
JOURNAL.
Arriving at Canton we lodged
with one OF the best of hotel keepers,
Mr.. Frank Daniel. To those who
have stopped with Mr.. Daniel and
his estimable family, words of COM
mendation are useless. To stran-
gers, you can only prove by trying.
Try, and if you don't leave feeling
good don't take the JoURNAL--if
you do, subscribe and pay for it.
COURT.
The Honorable Noel B. Knight
was presiding as Judge. Honest
and ,iust-impartial and true-kind
and generous-she law is admins
tered. Felons only fear him, as well
they may. Honest men seek their
rights and leave satisfied. Col. G.
D. Phillips, Solicitor General, bores
with big auger--coltsr mighty |
deep, in new ground-"snuffs trea
son" in every breeze-every |
guilty if the Grand Jury says SO, and
returns "true BILL" and the Traverse
Jury, mighty apt to agree with him.
When we are "guilty" shall move
our washing. Sand Mountain is
good place for criminals, unless they !
are patriots, and anxious to aid Wal
lis g. Haley in the construction of the
Marietta & North Georgia Railroad.
IF they are exercised in this behalf.
we have no objection, and your sub
scription will certainly be paid if you
give Col. Phillips half chance.
Among the lawyers we saw, Gen.
VIM. Phillips, Coils. j. R. Brown,
G. N. Lester, w. d. Anderson, j.
w. Wofford, w. H. Simmons, w. ).
Day, Jas. O. Dowda, f. L.. Litch-
field, W. A. Teasley, W. Hudson,
Thos. Lewis, and Mcdonnell. They |
kept up an everlasting fuss. Would
not agree about any thing. Quar-
relied with each other--then changed |
partners and kissed Lawyers are
funny people to outsiders, but like a
great many disagreeable things, are
a necessity, and it is "quar," to see
how we outsiders lean up to ''ouf
LAWYER when we are in trouble. III
this "bar" can't get you in and get
YOU ont, no use going further. But
We are ont and well stay out. Safety
