Mr. Clayton, the bookseller and news agent on Main street lias laid upon our desk a copy of Inf dice, the last novel of Mis- Augusta Evans Wilson. It is said to be anothei reuiaikable and deeply interesting work, and that the enormous demand for it makes it almost impossible for printers and bookbinders to supply it last enough. It is claimed to be one of the finest fictions in the English language. Those who have read the preceding works of Miss Evans will be anx ious to peruse this her lust and best. She is the most popular of our Southern female writers. Being a Georgian by birth we have no doubt this book will sell very rapidly. Those desiring to purchase will do well to call at Mr. Clayton’s news depot. It is hand somely printed and bound and is a beautilul volume for the parlor or to present to a lady friend.

An auimal some of us used to see lu our boyhood days, but now about extinct in Georgia. Would it not be well lor our Leg ist ur,- to import a few so that the rising gen eration could haTe a glimpse at the useful creature.

LIFE IFSTJEANCE. - - The Grancors’ Life and Health lnsiira.rcs Company, This Life Insurance Company has within a few months taken a place iu the front racks of insurance companies of this country. Its popularity with all classes of business and la boring men is great, and its success in busi ness unprecedented. This is accounted for only by its basis of organization aud the pru dence with which its business has been con ducted. It is not a co-operation charity so ciety as some have supposed, but it is a regu lar insurauee company, based upon mortuary tables, backed by a heavy cash capita! and protected from blunders in business by strict charter and constitutional adherence to the plans of insurance which have been approved oy the experience of the oldest and most suc cessful companies of the country. It makes no experiments with new, untried plan* of insurance fot the sake of popularity. Thus by not entering the field of speculation where success may or may not result, this company cannot swamp the dividends of policy holders. It offers as low rates as any on the well tried and experience prove 1 plans. This company Is not a society company as some might suppose, but unites iu its organi zation the very best business men of the country—men whom the people respect for capacity aud integrity. The names of the officers and directors, winch may be seen in the company’s advertisement in another col umn, at once suggest success of the highest order. In our community, we point with satisfaction to Col. J. J. Howard, Dr. J. A Jackson and Mr. R. A. Clayton, as stockhold ers in this company. S > all over this State, aud in each of the ten Southern States, stock holders are found and all of them first-class as honorable ' ushiess men. Thus the company has a local influence in every part of the South through which its agents are doing a work f.ir in advance of 'anything ever before known As the success of every company is measured by trie number of its policy holders, this com pany is a success, and we predict for it a bright future. Asa !-,:w of equity and a principle of De mocracy require that every man should be heard in business where his money is invested, tliis company by it? constitution gives to every policyholder the right to vote iu the annual elections of officers and directors. Thus the balance of the power is in the hands of the in sured. With such a basis as this, backed by large capital, kept and k aned in the State, aud with such elements of popularity in its organlz i tion, this company deserves the consideration and patronage of our people. There is no longer any reason why we should invest money with unknown foreign companies. A safe policy is a necessity. No man can make a better investment of his money than to take a policy in this company of his neighbor and friends. Mr. J. M. Robertson, general agent, is now in our town and we bespeak for him a cordial reception and an interested hearing irom our people. Oft COftSICNiVIE^T. 100 PAIRS Wool 331nnlio ts To be found at L.

We feel proud to be a cirizen of B ir tow county, populated, as it is, with a tiirifiy, hottest, and intelligent people whom we are glad to be informed arc a reading public. We are determined to give siteh a journal as will please all, or as nearly so a possible. We hope to prove worthy of the greeting of wel come so kindly extended by the citizens of Cartersviile, tuid a mruber of gentlemen of the county we have already met.

This issue of The Express is not a fair specimen of what we hope and expect to make it. Our removal from Rome to Car’ersville one week ago to-day, and the necessary trou bles attending such - noval have given us nut little time to prepare the matter for this paper. We found the office in rather bad condition and that was another hindrance. When we get things “straightened out” we expect to publish a better paper. We shall be all right next week, and hope to do much better.

We hope to have the co-operation of the people of Garters\ille and Bartow couuty generally in our efforts to pro duce a first-class weekly piper. Sheriff’s Sales Next Tuesday. The sales for December first appeared in the Standard and Express. These were pub lished twice iu this paper aud then transferred to the Advocate , anew paper commenced on the 22nd ult. The question now arises, has the advertising of these sales been done ac cording to law ? Can the Sheriff sell the property under such advertising? Can a sheriff transfer his advertising from one pa per to another without thirty days notice? These questions are propounded that the Siieriff may not make a mistake, and not in a capdous spirit. - ; y 5 -/ ; ; - -•: Personal. : J c We’diikl thi pleasure of seeing the final liar face of Mr. L.

On motion of Col. John A. Crawford the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, other sections of the State are indicating through the press, their preferences for a candidate for Governor in 1876, and whereas, North Georgia is not as yet known in the race, and whereas, by an equitable division of honors and offices, it does appear that we are sometimes entitled to put in an ap pearance for our share in the admin istration of State affairs, be it there fore resolved, That, in consideration of the emi nent ability of our retiring Senator, the Hon. John W.

Howland: Dear Sirs —Through you is com municated to me, the fact that, on Saturday last, the people of Bartow put my name in nomination for Sen ator of this District to fill the unex pired term of service; a vacancy which has occurred by the resigna tion of Senator John W. Wofford. This action of our fellow-citizens was wholly unexpected and unsolic ited by me. I, therefore, feel deep ly impressed by the obligation placed on me by this act. For nearly thirty years 1 have dwelt in the midst of the people of Bartow and those of the other counties of this District, enjoying their kind regards during that period. After retiring from public life I have given myself and all I had to the use ful enterprises of the day. This pe riod constitutes the .argest aud most useful, portion sf my life. Tne good result ling’ ItluTelVom, if . an|% has innr?d tig §l|d|fe,l nay fellow-eftizens, who thus offer a tribute of respect and confidence which indicates that they still desire my efforts for their benefit. They constrain me to submit my self to their will and wishes. In | compliance, therefore, wilh*your re quest I simply say, that I accept the honor and leave the resmt to the people of the District. They shall have my best and most faithful ef forts to serve them if called.' In this, I feel that misgivings nec essarily arise with me, seeing that it involves an undertaking to follow in the footsteps of a distinguished pred ecessor, whose dignity, ability and fidelity have given character to the Senate and whose resignation creates a vacancy which you are. now called on to fill. With sentiments, gentlemen, of high regard and esteem, I remain your friend and fellow-citizen, Mark A. Cooper. The County Court. Resolution-; of the Grand Jai-y of tlie County Court. In view of the untimely end of the Honorable County Court of Bartow, we, the Grand Jury, who have the honor of being witnesses of its last struggles and death throes, deem it the province as well as the duty of this jury to onduet the funeral ob sequies and have written and pub lished au obituary that may be in consonance with the important ser vices the deceased may have ren dered the county and State, and im posing implicit confhlen.v in the ability of our wor'hy confrere and associate, Dr. S.

Dr. Leland has instructed me to say that it is impossible in this in stance for the “IVad to bury the dead.” The County (hurt came to its death, on Thursday, tire 2oth of November, from legislative enact ment; the Doctor came to bis end, the following Saturday, by a verdict of the people. The former died from a superabun dance of gas, and the latter from an e x cess of crcd u 1 i ty. They were b th innocent failures.. “Lovely in their lives, iu death they were not divided.” Requlescat in pane. N f.mo. Hon. Mark L Cooper. The venenble gentleman, who e name appears above, has been eho s<m as the nominee of the Democrat ic party of Bartow county, to fill the position lately made vacant by the i csignation of the Hon. John W. Y/offord To .-ay that the choice was wisely male, weald be but to reiterate a sentiment heartily enter ttuned and daily expressed by a large majority of not only the people of Bartow county, but of the entire Forty - Second Senatorial District. We do not anticipate a single mur mur of disaffection. Major Cooper’s name, for many decades, has been synonymous with honor and patriotism, and man, woman and child, at least throughout the entire Comonwca th of Georgia, are as fa miliar with it as with any other household word, because it is pro verbial. lie has filled many posi tions of public trust, and ever with accumulating honors. The Senate of Georgia will be rejoiced to know that Mark A. Cooper will have a seat in their Hall this winfer. The whole State will rejoice.— Planters ’ Advocate. Industrial School for Women. Mrs. Westmoreland, of Atlanta, continues her stirring appeals in be half of the establishment of an in dustrial seho<# for women, in this State, and if eloquence and perse* vpreuce can insure success, she will certainly accomplish her object. In one ofher late articles in the Atlanta Herald she says: If Atlanta will give us grounds and a building and a portion of its school funds, as it does to its other public schools, and the State will even give us theßß,ooo a year which it gives to the University at Athens, and to the negro college at this place we can make the school’ free as it should be. If it is a private enter prise, we will be compelled to begin with ono or two departments, and charge the pupils for instruction. But surely the grand Common wealth of Georgia, when appealed to, will do as touch for her daughters as for her sons and negroes! Does she not owe to these daughters a large debt of gratitude? Have they not for something over a century served her cheerfully and faithfully? Have they not given her wise counsellors in times of peace and brave soldiers in time of war? Aye, they have rendered unto her not only the alle giance of faithful subjects, but they have laid upon her altar their own heart’s blood. And what has the State done in return for them V lias it a university for its daughters ? Ha lt any school in which those daugh ters can be taught the great lessons of self-reliance? Anyplace where the fearful responsibility and sacredness of motherhood is impressed upon them ? A dreamer of wonderful capacity has turned up in Atlanta, by the name of Hennery Wingless Grady. The other night he overloaded his stomach with boi ed eggs and laid down to pleasant dreams, and he dreamed an egg-straordinary story of an ‘‘egg farm’' his imagination located in three miles of Marietta, owned by a Belgian, named Daubere and his daughter Laurie. He there and then hatched a story of such chicanery that it would be hard to pullet to pieces but Aen-celorthly let him be known as the cy</-straordinary dreamer, Hennery Grady. But from the handful of feathers his wife snatched from h.s head, we are afraid he won't go to sleep in a chicken coop any more.— Marietta Journal Telegraphi 9 Low el, Mass., Nov. 30— Batteries B, F and L of the Fifth artillery, with the regimental band, left New port this evening for New York, en route for Charleston.

Funeral servi ces to-morrow. Washington, Nov. 30.—Informa tion received Horn the Rio Grande represents the trouble from cattle stealing to be ns bad as ever. The Mexican raiders have contracted to deliver IS,OOO head of cattle at Mon terey, and expect to steal them from Texas. The soldiers sent by the Mexican government to prevent raids often desert to the cattle thieves thus increasing instead of preventing the evil. Cortina himself lias been detected in shipping cattle from Bagdad to Cuba, the cattle bearing tin- marks of Texas owners. It is also known that the cattle stealers am engaged smuggling goods into Texas.

Breckinridge : lis name has been for years to us a houshold word, and upon Isis arrival in England Lady Beresford and my self sought his acquaintance and had the pleasure of receiving him as our guest both here and in the country. Personal acquaintance produced a warm esteem and respect,and a vivid impression of his eminent abilities. I have often since remarked that out of the persons of distinction with whom, in the course of my life,l have in various ways been thrown, Gen. Breckinridge was among those who had most irresistably struck me with a ieeling of ability and ready power.

Astor, the great millionaire, couid not keep from dying his money could not save him. He had been in ill health for some time and his death was not unexpected. His great wealth was inherited, first from his father, and it has constantly in ercas.-d in value ever since. A lady was iately s > torn by doge in the city of Natchez, Miss., that she died in five hours. She was a very excellent woman,the mother of a family of three children. She bail gone to look for her cow, on Sunday morning, and finding the dogs biting anti hurrassing the cow,she drove the dogs off, when they attacked the lady and tore off all her clothing—tore great pieces of 11 sh from her legs and body, and terribly lacerated Iter face. They were no doubt butcher’s (logs. Thr Spanish Concession .—One of the principal causes of controver sy between tiio United States ami Spain is at last settled without re sort to tiie terrible war which has so often pictured itself before the imag inations of highly sensational peo ple. The Spanish government lias conceded that in future American citizens on trial before courts-martial in Cuba shall have the privilege of so le cling counsel for defense. This is apparently’ a point of no considera ble importance, but its value cannot be too highly appreciated. It estab lishes a right for an American citi zen which he did not enjoy’ before, and for the lack of which many might suffer, as some have done, summarily' under Spanish injustice and brutality. - - Gen. Sherman’s report as General of the Army is worthyof note for its clear setting forth of a practical method for solving the Indian prob lem within the life time of the pres ent generation. The great objects will be at once accomplished by put ting the Indians on reservations and keeping them there in charge of the Army ; there will be no more Indian wars; and there will be no swin dling the Government in furnishing supplies to the Indians,. Tne plan recommends itself to everybody not interested in prolonging the pres ent administration of Indian affairs. ■ ♦ A narrow-gauge railroad is to be built from Pulaski, Tennessee; to Memphis, a distance of 189 miles.

Judging from a paragraph we saw in the Marietta Journal, a few days ago, which said that a cotton ring had been discovered in Cartersville, and that the farmers were taking their cotton to oil er markets, we supposed there would be a demand for the article at that place, and, in company with several of our neigh- bors, we took a part of our crop down, hoping to avoid the throng that is usually found at most of our market places at this season of the year, but in that we were mistaken and had to wait for hours before we could get the u->o of the scales There may be a “cotton ring” at Cartersville, but if so, it B composed, in part at least, of those who have “the ring of the rigid metal, and on last Thursday they managed to in close a large amount of cotton within their circle.— Cherokee Georgian. The Chairman of the Democratic- State Committee of Mississippi issnsd a proclamation, or address to the people of that State, asking that they observe the day set apart by the President of the United States as fnanksgiving day, as one of espec ial praise and thanksgiving, for leav ing been delivered from the rule of vice and ignorance, as one invoking the Divine blessing upon their efforts to restore good government and ma terial prosperity, and to promote the intellectual and moral advancement of that afflicted commonwealth. The little American adventuress, Blackman, has written a book con cerning the amours, intrigues and peccadillos of the Russian Court, which she lias been enticed, bv a bribe of Irom twenty to one hum!?* red thousand dollars,to suppress. But she laughs at the authorit ies'and says she has no idea of doing so at any price. Hie is the woman for whom the Russian Duke stole his mother's diamonds. She is sai ltobe a smart little vixen.

The tea! reason assigned by the correspondent for this action oi the Cabinet, is the un satisfactory attitude of the native princes. Not a single reception l has been proffered by any one ol these in the Madras and Bengal pres idencies. All entertainments thus far given have been given by the Eng lish. There is no concealing the fact that the native princes view the visit nnfavorabl y. - All Englishman claims to have in vented a tlv.n;*' machine, which he tails a }>;uakite. B% this lie says he can ascend irom six hurnlved to one thousand feet high, and attain a rate of speed, ranging from four to forty miles an hour. It weighs but one hundred pounds, and covers an area of seven hundred superficial feet. Barnum is going to sell out his great show. He says he hates to go out of the show business. It is his recreation, but monster concerns do not pay in the country, hence he will sell out —as he says, every hide, hoof and feather. This concern, from all we can learn, was far superior to the one we had here in October last. A New York man has cured him self of the filthy habit of tobacco chewing, by tasting an apple every time he felt inclined to partake of the degrading weed, lie had been per fuming and frescoing stoves for sev enteen years,, but the fruit worked an effectual cure.

A nomination by a caucus of can didates is something novel that Ims ju.-t been introduced into Memphis politics. Capt. A. F.
