in this vicinity. Corn>sellers talk of
damaged wheat, but from indications
we think the wheat crop will bring
corn down to sixty cents per bushel.
Several farmers are wanting
help to chop cotton. If you have
any loafers down there, tell them to
come up here and grab hoe han

Our Railroad.

GEN. PHILLIPS, of the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad, has
succeeded in inducing the counties
Of Pickens, Gilmer and Fannin to
take each portion Of the 250 con-
victs allotted by the Legislature to
the enterprise for their victuals and
clothes, and to grade the road
through their limits. The entire
line to Murphy will be graded in a
few months, and then will come
another struggle for the States en-
dorsement to buy the iron. The bill
ought to have passed the last session
and would but for the fear, folly and
treachery of some of its pretended
friends. There will be holder and
mare patriotic fight next winter. So
speaks the Atlanta Commonwealth,
one of the best daiies we receive at
this office.
The convicts left for Gilmer and
North Carolina last Monday, leaving
Marietta about !! O'Clock. They
go right to work on their arrival.

ACWoRTH DOTS.

A negro that had stolen some
.iewelry some weeks ago, had been
hiding in Acworth, and when per-
sons went to arrest him he eluded
them.
Two negroes were suspected
from their actions Thursday evening
Of last week to be rogues. Our
marshal arrested them, but nothing
criminal could be ELECTED from them
and they were allowed to depart in
peace.
On last Sabbath the commence
ment sermon of the Acworth High
School was preached at the Baptist
Church by Rev. ID. l.. ButtoIph, of
Marietta. lie entertained large
congregation il very able manner.
Pref. Holmes school occupied the
middle row OF seats. Appropriate
songs were sung before and after the
sermon. The examination of tire
lower classes commenced on Mon
day morning On night of same
day, the exhibition was opened in a
very nice manner by GROWING a
queen. Daring the evening, the
audience were delighted with Cen
tcnniaI Boys Dumb Belle ; juven-

Acworth.

We had the pleasure of attending
the commencement exercises of the
Acworth High School on Wednes-
day last. The young ladies of the
school were looking their prettiest'
Their compositions were all good.
The speeches of the young men
were short and to the point and we'll
delivered. The whole exercises re-
tiected credit on both teachers and
pupils, The literary address was
delivered by Prof Geo. f. Gober, of
Marietta, on "Utlitsrianism," in his
usual terse and sententious style. 1t
abounded with rich thoughts and
captivating figures, and was rich
repast calculated to interest only the
intelligent and refined. Our stay
was short but pleasant. We found
the people courteous and hospitkble,
full of enterprise, and determined to
make their school, one Of the best in
Georgia. Success to them.

pIcKENs COUNTY DOTS.

Trade is rather dull at present.
The farmers are very busiIy engaged
trying to make something to trade
on when fall comes. That is good
sense.
Wheat looks fine, and promises
a good crop. There is wheat plenty
here yet S per bushel.
There is one Mr.. Wells Of
Louisiana in our county looking out
location for sheep raising. Says
he has 1900 head of sheep, and re-
allies ten pounds Of wool from each.
He wants two thousand acres of poor
ridge land for pastures. lie is in
the right pew now.
"A rather strange notion entered
our old friend j. R. Howell's brain
last Sunday night. He sent the
Sheriff off to old Bills for license,
then went to Esquire Kings and got
married to the widow Cofey. 1t
was rather sly, hardly known until
Monday morning, and it gave JAS
per such shock as she has not had
lately. 1t caused almost panic in
business for the space of day. We
wish them long and happy life, and
may all their troubles be little ones

The Old Mans STYLE Of Counting.

The old man was sick of being kept
awake nights by billing and cooling. There
is mol fOOlishness about some of the faith
ers Of Dubuque county who have mar
riageable daughters, and they know how
to precipitate business when the fruit is
ripe for the plucking, and hangs, wasting
its sweetness, when it should be plucked.
Matters were brought to climax with a
rush at a certain farmers residence in
Vernon township recently. A young til
Ter of the soil had for months and months
been paying most assiduOus attention to
one Of his daughters, but he was such a
bashful, modest chap, never having been
this one, that he had never been able to
raise courage sufficiently high to pop the
all-impOrtant question. He had gone to
the house in which his admirer lived up
on at least twenty different occasions, re-
solved to know his fate, but when ush-
cred into the presence of the fair one, in
to hose keeping he had placed his heart,
his courage would invariably Ego back
on him." and he would return to his lone
ly room i'm greater suspense than before.
Upon the evening in question he had de-
termined that, come what would, he
would tell his Mary he loved her. He
would once tor all decide the matter but,
as upon former occasions, he could get
the proposal no further than his throat.
lnere 1t stuck, and he had just deter
mihed TO gnlp it down and give up the
siege, when the door opened and i'm stafked
