ACWoRTH AFFAIRS.

Grandma Smith is gone. She fell
asleep from which there is no waking on
the morning Of the 9th Of August Her
funeral took place from the Litchfield House
the evening Of the 2Sth, the services were
conducted by Rev. J. G Ryals. Mrs
Smith was about ninety four years of age
her life was an exemplary one, she profess
ed religion half century ago and her con-
duct was such rs to convince all who knew
her that her hope was well founded She
was the mother of Mrs T. l.. Litchdeld Of
Acworth and of Levi J. Smith of Atlanta
She lived the most of her life in Newton
county, but the past fifteen years in Ac
worte We tender our coincidence to the
bereaved.
For the want Of proper sanitary atten-
ton, there has been a good deal of sickness
in Acworth this summer, We believe the
amount spent in hauling old tan bark unon
the streets which has not benefited health
fitness; would have thoroughly cleaned the
town.
.. The Good Templars Of Acworth cele-
DRAFTED their Sth anniversary Monday night
the lodge is now over eight years old and
in good healthy condition.

wall OF New York arrived here yesterday.
They have been for some time investigating the
merits OF a ship canal across the Florida Peninsula,
and visit our city in connection with the enter
prise. They leave to-day for Galveston, whence
they will proceed to st. Louis. Some time was
spent in Florida examining the various routes
and in endeayors to obtain special charter from
the Legislature Of that State.
The site selected is from the mouth of the
Suwanee River just north OF Ceuar Keys on the
Gulf side, in nearly direct line to a point be-
tween Jacksonville ana St. Augustine. The river
will be used for some distance, though requiring
improvement and etty system on the bar. which
will reduce the distance to be canaled to about
one hundred miles.
The country to be traversed is favorable for the
work. being soft clay or cnlcaerlrs matter, easily
exCavated by ordinary dredges. Messrs. Oster-
burg and Baros visit She Gulf cities with a view
