Bait Jones ns n candi date for the constitutional convention subject to the decision of tho voters of the district on tho day of election. Here and Thereby our Reporter “There’s a chiel among ye takin’ notes* And faith he’ll prent 'em.” M ho set to fire the court house ? ♦Straw hats arc becoming numerous War preparations in Europe con tinue. Plant more corn. Boys, we must get up a base hall Club. Let’s don’t get too lazy. A large number of our citizens went fishing last Saturday. Dr. Ledbetter tumbled, heels over haul in the creek last Saturday. Miss Carrie Prebble left lust Wednes day on a visit to Shelby, Ala, Kev. B. B. Quillian, and Mr. Jones, of Cave Spring wero in town this week. Mr. G reon, the photographer is still at the Court House taking picutes Farmers, plant plenty < f corn. There’s a mighty big fuss in the East. There will be a moonlight pic-nio out to Mr. Waddells Tuesday night. Now is the timo for young Misses to hammer their feet with croquet mullets. Pup Eidow und Will Tomlinson kinder favor since limy have cut oft’ their whiskers. The young folks out nbt at West’s mill will have a libbing p oly lo-mor- row. Mr. Win Hutch is building a nice little d welling, just across the tauyard branch. Mr. Wynn has a huge lot of baby shoes, which ho is sellmg cheap for cash. Philpoi A: Dodds keep fresh ground Corn Meal, Agricultural Implements, Iron, etc., Glad to see Feast or Harris, who line been sick for some time, uble to be out again. We under*;und they will have a pjc-nicsomewhere around here, now pretty soon. Mr. Green, our present Photogra pher is decidedly the best that has ever been to Cedartown. Who set tiie to the court house,und wherefore did he doit? is the ques tion. Don’t nil answer at once. What has become of our Ilock- mart und Antioch Correspondents. Let us hear fi>m you again gents. Mr. H. P. Lumpkin, returned from Texas lust Friday. Ho reports every thing flourishing in that country. Our cleaver young friend, Mr. Wal ter McNeul, formerly of this place, is now doing business at Tecumsoh. Regret to learn that Mr. John O. Lumpkin had the misfortune to lose his horse which died yesterday, about 12 o’clock. The weather is real summorry, but it is rather dangerous to mako any j groat chaugo in clothing yet awhile, j Col. Tidwell and lady havo return- I ed from Texas. The Colonel’s Texas fever has about cooled oft, but ho is not quite well of the cold he caught while thero. Mr. Cleveland, the old roliable, still holds forth at I. T. Meo’s tin shop, ready, willing and waiting to carve out and make up your summer cloth ing* Wo would advise Dock Cobb, Jim Dodds, Atys Chisolm, Gus Adams and Jim Harris to wear blue neck ties as the reflection of blue upon the face will make the whiskers grow. Persian silks of elaborate designs aro among tho most beautiful pro ducts of spring, but a Codartowq girl in a calico dress and a straw hat. is as pretty as a diamond decked queen. Wo aro glad to sec on our stroots once more, our genial young friend, J. M. Morris, who has boon in Atlan ta tho past few months, attending lectures at Moore’s Commercial Col- lego. The latost sousatiou in geutlemen’s neck wear now is tho blue tie, which is oagorly sought after by tho more youthful, tho reflection *»f tho blue upon tho face having a tendency to stimulate tho growth of tho beard. Married in tho prosbyteriau church at Cavo Spring on Tuesday night last Mr. Pink B. Sheldon, of Dallas, Texas and Miss Lilly Lako of tho former pluco. The happy couplo loft for Texas on tho ten o’clock train. Dan Hightower, who is now making his living by iho ‘sweat of his brow’ in a rural manner, came in Friday and remained over 'till Sunday with the b’boys. Dan says ho is competed lo see her semi-occ isionly anyhow. Our boss store keepers can now bo scon with a little tin bucket a fishing cane and a little cup of bait, making their wav to some shady placo on the creek, while tho clerks stays at homo, sits on tho porch and bays, d n that old fly. C ipt. A. G. West, recently bought a stei which will bo hern in i will use it to haul oi fhilo out wost in road engine, few days. Ho ) from his oro bank. It is a twclvo horso engine and will haul about eight tons at a load. Cnpt. West is fixing up to bo independent of tho railroad. From reading a letter published in the Express this wet k, purporting to bo from B. C. Wilkin, ono u old nat urally suppose ho hud been studying criminal law, and reading ancient and modern history, in order to post him self in regard to pardons aud respites extended to criminals in different countries. Mrs. J. A. Wynn has opened a largo stock of milinery and ladies furnishing goods at Lumpkin’s brick store house. This will bo a great con venience to our ladies, who,heretofore have had to go to Rome for military goods. They should now patronize Mrs. Wynn and keep their money at home. As Wilkes has not been brought up to prove Mocks’ inuocouce, and tho Governor has issued no further re spite, wo suppose Meeks will bo exe cuted cn next Friday. We havo had nothing to do with this case, being willing to lenvo tho matter where it properly belongs, with the courts, believing that tho judge and jury would do right, if left freo to act, und wo luivo no desire to sot aside their decisions aud set up our own opinions in their stead. W T 0 believe tho impression gener ally prevails throughout tlm county that the wheat crop is good, but Mr. Herbert informed us on last Wednes day that the fly is damaging the crop considerably. If this is tho caso to any extent tho crop will bo short, ami it behooves our farmers, in view of this fact, and the impending war in Europe, to raise an extra quantity of corn aud other crops, and loss cotton. Corn and wheat is now advancing rapidly, and if tho war continues and it is likely it will—'.lie balance of tho year at least, tho f irmer who raises the most earn and moat will be in the lus'. condition at. tho end of tho year.

They arc mild, hut ef fectual in their operation, moving the bowels surely and without pain. Although gentle in their operation, they are still the most thorough and searching cathar tic medicine that can he employed : cleans ing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In small doses of ono pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vigorous health. Ayer’s Pili.s have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have so parties having syrup to mako can bring their cane and barrels to the company and wait, like going to mill, until it is made up, without any labor on their part whatever.

It was evi dently tho work of an incidiary, as shuvings hud been placed under the steps and set on lire. There various surmises as to the object of the incin- diary—some thinking it was done to Tr , ( „ i draw the attention of the guard at He alwajs comes for your tbe jail to get Meeks out ; others that chiel to go to r ide with him when he 0 \^ ec ^ WftS robbery, and some think trades horses, ’cause he knows we’re there were other motives, aud proba- a judgo of such things. 1 bly none ure correct. tions within their range can rarely with stand or evade them. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that have bailled the best of human skill. While they produce power ful effects, they are, at the same time, flic safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than tlie common purgatives, and never give pain when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing i1, from the elements of weakness. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pili.s may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. Dr.J.C.
