Every enterprise inaugurated for the devel opment of Southern progress i w irihv of mention. The above ate the only works of the kind in the State of Georgia, *nd arc owned by gentlemen of great energy and in dustry. They tarn cut as good stoves and other castings as can he made anywhere. They employ the best material and warrant all their work. One of the great conveniences in purchasing one of their stoves is tbit if a piece is broken it can be replaced ia less than three days. As these ara the only works of the kind in Georgia, vre feel confident it would be to the interest of dealers to sell their stoves instead of those from farther North. It would build up horns enterprise and give practical support to Southern industry. The proprietors, the Messrs. Seay Brothers, are fair aud square men to deal with and we commend them to the trade everywhere. The Ricks House. It is not often that so small a town as Car terevilie can boast of *so well-appointed holstery as the Rick* House, but recently built. It is not a mammoth Mouse, but a real cosy establishment with every comfort —every room containing a coal grate ex cept two. Until recscliy it was kept by Mr. E. T. White, but on the Ist itist., Mr. Ricks himself took chargs of it and he is itready gaiuing popularity as a hotel keeper furnishing his tables with the best the market affords, while his bedrooms are furnished with the best spring mattrasses. The Ricks House will be a fine place for low country people to spend the next summer. It 16 well ventillated, and the rooms are in every respect the most pleasant. It is worth a day’s stopping for the weary truve’er to lie over in Uartersville to rest. No Loafers in Cartersvllto. On ; of the noticeable feature* of onr town Is that no loafers are seen upon the streets Everybody, while atsd black, is engaged ia t >oie kind of employment. The colored ] opulalion, so pruned to loiter around the street coiners iu other towns are. not seen here; aud we say sincerely we hare never seen a better behaved and orderly cbes of ne groes than !ho:e of Cartersviile. This ia our observation so far. There is no bad feeling between the races and the relations between them, we ate informed, arc of the most t- ”t --avorthy character. We do not hesitate to say that the negro race have our sympathy on ac count of their dependent condition, and where they are peaceful aud orderly we always feel more than inclined to aid them in all ef forts to imprer- themselves morally aud re ligiously.

African Methodist Church Conference. The annual conference of the African Methodist church will begia here on the 16th —Bishop Ward presiding. Tbi* church as we understand it, has r.o coanection, what ever, with the Not them Methodist church and is, therefore, not political ie any respect Bishop Ward has the reputation of being fine pulpit orator, and exert* a good influence with his race. While iu Rome, a few week * ago, he produced considerable intere*t among the whites by his eloquence and the conserva tism of his teachings and advice to the colored ople.

A Short Review of Mrs. August* Evans Wilson's Last Work. Mr. H. Clayton, our popular aud accom modating news agent, has kindly laid upon our table a very handsome copy of Mrs Wilson’s last novel, “lufelice.” The author ess is better known by her maiden name of Augusta J. Evan*, whose reputation in the literery world upon the publication of “Beulah” was at once •stablishcd as one of the most interesting of the day, followed in succession by Bt. Elmo, Vashti, Macaria, Inez, &c., fa ly sustaining her Well earned character a* the most charming of all South ern literary writers. Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to say that side by side she took rank with the mo*t popuiar author* of the day in the Uaded States and in Europe. Itifelice falls in no whit behiud either of her other productions, but to our miud in many particulars excels them all. The story is of thrilling interest and the reader’s atten tion is taken captive from the beginning to the end. The *ceue is laid in New York, Paris aud Italy, all the characters being wholly American. So far as the mere story is con cerned it is charmingly conducted, its leading characters clear, strong and well defined, at teaching the reader to them with almost a personal Suit rest. No space or time is allowed us to indulge in any other than these general remarks, but to the lover of light literature, we can heartily recommend this last pro duction of.Mrs. Wilson as one whish the reader, wbcu once he has begun ir, regrets that he is compelled to lay it down at last. The style of the book perhaps may be lia ble to the same crip -isms which her iormer works have caiied from reviewers, but at the same time showing a very manifest improve, merit. Rather laboring to say flue things tn swelliug words, too fond of labored de. scriptions always bearing the same ear-marks, full of classic and mythological allusion, and ever and anou overflowing with large and too frequent adjective* and often words not f.nuil iar to the common reader. Tnese, together with some *>;h<*r minor objections suggest the thought t.h* redor would be aided in hi* pe ru-a! of the c*rl, if b* „houid have always nenr ut band a copy of Webster’s unabridged and Lemperier’* classical dictionaries. But the w irk abounds in excallc it thoughts infrequently finely and tersely expressed, while Ihe strong common sense displayed upon the rcl’gious and social problems of the day, attr t regard to her as an author of true Christian principles aud superior cast. As before stated, we nsirtily reconatend the book to all readers, aud shall from this speci men of her powers, hereafter always hail with dc’ight any new work whichsaha’l come from her charming aud prolific pen.

The I.at s Samuel H, Snai'll. We have heard so many kind words in memory of th's gentleman, who so long con ducted this paper, that we feel constrained to reproduce them in these columns if we had them in shape. The great though l of bis life was to build up Carteraville and Bartow coun ty. H* labored in and out of season for it, and although he is no more his name lin gers tenderly and affectionately upon the hearts of these people, which find warm ex pression upon all hands. As he labored lor his county and town, eo w hope to be suc cessful to the extent of our ability. Among the press Mr. Smith was always referred to as a good man and a wholesonled Curi>tian gen tleman. Asa chaplain of the sixtieth Geor gia regiment, we know his memory will be long cherished. New Music. We acknowledge the receipt of “Sweet Lil lie, My Darling,” by U. P.

We publish this week a local notice of the extensive wholesale dry-goods house of the above named linn. These gentlemen are doing a large and extensive business, selling goods so low as to make it de idedly to the advantage of retail dealers throughout this sec tion of Georgia ip purchase their stocks from them. The firm is composed of accommo dating gentlemen, and their assistants are all popular. Buying with the cash from first hands at the lowest wholesale manufacturers’ prices, they are enabled to save to their cus tomers the freight from New York to Rome. We take pleasure in recommending the house to the trade. Rev, Andersen J. Jarrell. The numerous friends of this reverend gentlemen will be njoiced to know that he will remain in charge of the Methodist church here, where, he is so popular with ou citizens generally Mr. Jarrell left the confer ence before its close, and did not know cer tainly that he would be returned to Carters ville nntil Tuesday morning. We have had the pleasure of meeting the reverend gentle man and are not surprised that he is so popu lar. We congratulate our Methodist friends upon their good luck, and trust they may be as successful next year. To Printers.

Mr. Editor.— Perhaps a “bird’s eye view” of an important public interest, gathered from official data, may help to promote th at interest. The school population is all the the children of the county both white and colored, between the ages of 6 and 13 years. Of these 3,579 are white and 1,460 arc colored —total 5,039. In the year 1374 there were 47 white schools and 11 colored schools. In the former schools there were 1,950 pupils. Iu the latter GcO pu pils—total white and colored 2,390. The av erage monthly co*t in all the schools was f 1.43 per scholar. Of which cost the State school fund paid 93 cents per scholar. This year, ISVS, there were 60 white schools and 17 colored schools. Iu the former there were 2,353 pupil* aud in the latter 997 tola: 3,260. Th# average monthly cost per pupil was sl.lO, of which cost the State rchcol fuud paid 48 ecuts. It will be seen that there has been an in crease in the number of schools from 56 to 73. lii the number of scholars from 2,320 lo 3,269, whil# there ha* been a decrease in the mouthly cost of tuition from $1.48 per schol ar to sl.lO. This is owing perhaps to tw° things: stringency of the timet, and the wiii inguess of teachers to lower their wages. The reason of the State school fund paying less of this cost this year than last, is because the poll tax of : hc county lust year was reckoned as a part of lhat fund. Tills exhibit shows progress, and it may be fairly el.d tiled as showing that our pab’ic sell ;ol system is growing in popular regard. The friends of this system lo not hold it to be perfect, nor even as efficient .iu it might tie. Bat it is ckrmed to be doing something, and lacking mainly in tfficieney ia the mea gre funds given for its use. Each county now has the privilege of local taxation, and it can bo easily shown that a very small per centum of tax on Ihecitizcus of ilie couniy, in addi tion to tiie school fund now provided, would, give 5 or s’x months schools instead < f 3 as now required by law. That the voters of the county with whom the levying of this tax should vote such a tax, let the follow ing olii cil facts on liie illiteracy of Bartow say ; There are in the county between the ages of 10 iu 18 years 410 whi.es v, ho cannot re.nl. Of colored between the same ages 581—to tal 958. Of whites over 18 years who can not read, 331, of colored over over IS years 1,326 —total 1,057. Our county with a pop ulation of a li.de over 16,000, shows that about one .eut’a of that population cannot read! What au argument for local taxation tbi school purposes! Who, among us fel low-cit’zens in the face of such a fact, docs not feel humiliated? * Tiilo. E. Smith. €. S. C. Meeting: of tlie Teachers’ Institute. Caiivaksv. ..is. Dec. 4,1375.

The atjolition of the “patent outaide” fea ture in the publication of The Express meets with hearty approval from our citizens gener ally. With all due deference to the opinions of others we regard the system as pernicious in lowering the standard of jcurnalism. We may be wrong, but wc are backed by the judgment of the best journalists in the coun try aud the common sense of the public. Wc have seen this in the expressions of approval from numerous persona in Cartersvillc since our first number of this paper appeared. If the merchants aud business men of Oar tersville and the citizens of Bartow generally wili fairly sustain us, we intend to give them a paper second to no weekly in the Siaic —one they will not be ashamed of wherever'they may see it. The character of a town is greatly judged ny its local press, and wc feci confi dent that our friends will aid us all they can lo j send out a true representative of tlic enterpri e, energy and liberality of our town and ccuuty in tbc support of an independent and bold paper.

The President’s Message, * Washington, Dec. 7. —After the committee had returned, and the choice of seats accorded to the oldest continuous member, Kellj, of Penn sylvania, drawing of seats occurred. Mr. Mehaffy, reading clerk, read the message. The reading of the message occupied two hours and five minutes. At first it was listened to with considerable interest aud atten tion, but after the clerk had got past the paragraph relating to education, church property and the Cuban ques tion, the members began gradually to leav* their seats, retinug to the cloak rooms, loitering listlessly in the ailses, engaged in conversation with each other, so that during the read ing of the latlcr half there was not probably forty members in their seats, and not half that number pay ing the slightest attention to the message. In fact, were it not for the monotonous tones of the clerk’s voice, it might have been supposed that the house was indulging in a recess. "- ivye regret we are unable to giel even a synopsis of the message, but will do so next week.—Ed. Express, j r Cherokee Georgia, Tlio >’;wi h* G.iihcrcil from the Fres of tlii* Section. CEDARTOWN. Our unusually quiet town was star tled on last Saturday night by the re port, about 9 o’clock, that a man was shot out on the Prior’s Station road, near the Cedar Creek bridge. It ap pears that a young man from Haral son county,* Bud Turbyville, had hired Cicero Surra'. who lives about six miles from town, to pilot him around Cedartown with a whisky wagon. Tur byville agreed to pay Surratt a certain sum, and in the set tlement got into a dispute about the amount agreed upon. Immediately after tbeshooting, Turbyville mount ed one of his horses and left. Surratt had been drinking pretty freely dur ing the day, and was in a drunken condition when shot. He lived until 3 o’clock Sunday morning. He • leaves a wife and eight children, in a destitute condition, we presume, t Sheriff Lumpkin, in company with 1 Mr. John Powell, started in pursuit i on Monday morning, and returned . Tuesday night, but failed to find Turbyville, who is still at large.— Record. CANTON. Gold! gold! gold! is the cry in Che rokee Gt orgia. A fine crop of tobacco has been raised this year in the upper portion of the county. Th-it is the right crop for that section. A man weighing about two hun dred pounds came in, the other even ing, riding an ox hare-back. We are not certain whether he had on spurs or not. After resting a white he attempted to remount his oxship for a ride towards home, but found it a little difficult to get into the sad dle. After tussling around for some time, he succeeded in getting astride of the animal, a:nid*the shouts of a nunibi r of spectators. From the report of our effiel -ni County School Superintendent, we learn that the number of white males aitendinr -h >ol in the county the past term was 1,304, white females 993; colored males L 9, colored females 83; io :d 2,408; average attendance 1,292. In orthography there were 1,903, i reading, 1,137, in writing 671; in gran mar, 212; in geography 145; in arithmetic 797. It is gratify ing to learn, and highly complimen tary to our County Superintendent, that the teachers "will be paid the full face value of their certificates for this year’s services. One half of the amount due will be paid on the Bds iust., and the other half when the poll-tax is collected.— Georgian. DA ETON. We learn, from our efficient Ordi nary, Judge W. J. Underwood, that Whitfieid county is now out of debt —don’t owe a cent/ The Dalton Fema’e College closed its fall session la.-t week, and its com petent and efficient President, Rev. W. A. Rogers, is attending the North Georgia Conference this week at Griffin. The canine population hereabouts, and indeed throughout the State, is becoming more numerous every day. Oh, for a dog law, or something else to rid our town and State of at least a portion of this intolerab’e nuisance. We saw a couple of wagons pass through town a day or so ago, each loaded with a bed, a few chairs arid a “skillet.” They were going to Texas or Arkansas, wo presume, to he ? p populate a cemetery. Three tickets are already in the field for aldermen—all claiming to be “dry,” we believe; but which one will carry the “long pole” that will get the “persimmon” is at present difficult to determine, though the friends of each think their men have sufficient “reaching strength” to bring it down. At a meeting of the Library Asso ciation, n concise report of the pro ceedings at the previous meeting was read by Mr. Bukofzer, who, by the way, makes a most excellent Secreta ry upon such occasions. An admira ble original (ssay was then read by Miss Maggie Bard, and a most excel lent poetical selection was recited, in a charming and expressive style, by Mrs. Russell. Mr. Will Glenn read one of Rogers’ thrilling atid weird pieces in a natural and feeling way. The meeting then adjourned, and the crowd spent a few hours very pleas antly in conversation, enlivened by music, .—Cit izeii. ROME. The Rev. Mr. Gwaltney has com menced a series of sermons, the first of which was delivered with great ear nestness and power, last Sabbath evening. The subject of these dis courses is “The Kingdom of Christ,” The Rev. Mr. Crumley, so well known for tils goodness and social virtues, preached his farewell sermon last Sabbath evening. The sermon was full of good admonitions, and was affectionate and tender to the last degree. It did not need the sol emn farewell of their beloved pastor to melt the audience to tears, for the thought of his departure was suffi cient; nevertheless, when those words were spoken, there was an universal response of feeling, and the people wegl! Mrs. Crumley was not less honored or beloved; and there are many hearts that will sadden, and eyes tiiat will fill with tears, at the thought of no more enjoying her ge nial presence.— Bulletin. Borne one stole a horse from Capt. A. F. Wooley, near Kingston, last Friday night. The Captain followed him to Rome and found his horse in Ramey’s stable. The Government boats have come down, having expended the appro priation mane ov rne last session of Congress. The boats, we understand, will soon be sold. Thos. J. Echols has returned from Mississippi with his family to his old home in this county to remain, find ing that there was not as many green back bushes as had been represented. Our young friend, Frank JHuffaker, left Rome last Tuesday for the Van derbilt University, at Nashville. He proposes to pursue a course of theo logical studies, preparatory to enter ing the ministry of the M. E. Church South. We understand that the steamer Dispatch will leave iier wharf Mon day morning for Carter’s Landing. It will be her fiist trip up the river, and we hope she may find business enough to justify her in making weekly trips. Our good friend, Rev. K. Ram bo, has placed upon our table two of the largest turnips we have seen; they measure 25 inches in circumference and were raised by J. T. Bankston on the farm of Mr. Rum bo, in soil that has been in cultivation over thirty years without manure. Major John W. Hooper, formerly of this city, ran as an independent candidate for alderman of the city of Atlanta at the election held on the Ist instant. lie was behind when the votes were counted, only 758. This going alter strange gods, by our old friend John, we regret, but rr joiee that bis defeat was so signal. It will be the more salutary in its effects. We rogret to learn of the demise of Judge Bpencer Marsh, one of the old est and best citizens of North Geor gia, who died at his residence in La Fayette Tuesday night at 9 o’clock. I J udge Marsli liau been long promi nently before the people as one of the most substantial and enterprising men, and by his busin ss sagacity and lavish wealth had done more to de velop the industrial resources of his section than perhaps any other man in it. His private life was one of ex emplary Christian character, illus trating in ail his relations with his family and his neighbors, the beauty and graces of the religion of Christ. He died full of years and of honors, mourned by the good and true every where that ho was known. As the Mary Carter was ou her way down the river from Carter’s Land ing on Saturday last, the tax collector of Gordou county had her levied on at Resaca for taxes for the year 1875. It appears that S. P. Smith, Son & Bro., the general agents and lessees of the boat, were required bv the tax receiver of this county to give her in in this county as this was her home port and the principal office of the company, made so by her Govern ment license and the charter of the company. H. H. Smith was on board of the boat at the time the sheriff made the levy, and ordered her tied up. Smith told him that they had given her in here and had paid the taxes. The sheriff, however, would not release her until Smith deposited the amount of taxes, costs, Ac., until the question could be settled as to what county was entitled to the tax.— Courier.

The Cartersville Express, under the new and able management of C II C Willingham, has reached our table, and we.gladly’ welcome it.* It has been enlarged and wonderfully improved—is an eight-column paper and full up with interesting matter. We predict for it a grand success.— Rome Courier. TueCarteksvii.ee Express is full of art ides'of local interest, tt. bids fair to he a model county jour no!. Its new editor, Mr. C. 11. C. Willingham, is known all over the State, ami lie promises to make The Express a friend of the people, thor oughly Democratic, and the cham pion of the interests of Bartow coun ty.- -Atlanta Const Hi 'ion. Deserved Compliment.— As Mr. C II C Willingham, editor of the Rom * Courier, retires from the posi tion he has so long and worthily held, to assume the editorship of tile Car tersville Express, his many admi rers in Rome determined to give him a good caning before he could leave them. He keeps the cane as an ele gant specimen of practical friendship w ell applied. “Charlie” Willingham is one of the Nescors of the Southern press, and we rejoice to know that his faithful and patriotic services as a journalist are everywhere publicly acknowledged. Success to him in his new sphere of usefulness.—Chris tian Index. Mr. C II C Willingham, this week displays to the breeze the first issue of the Cartersville Express. He! greets the people in an exceedingly neat editorial, from which we extract the following, which rings out like the true metal, every word of which we endorse, and sincerely do wo re gret that we have not more of such men to edit newspapers and mould sentiment for these degenerate times. He says: “The Express will be thoroughly and uncompromisingly democratic, opposed to all innova tions upon the principles of our matchless system of government as established by the fathers of the republic, a government organized for the people and by the people upon the basis of free government. While conservative and dignified in tone, it will unshrinkingly defend the rights of the South against all alwnnpts to oppress our people. Believing the democratic party the only political organization capable of giving peace and harmony to the country by the restoration of the old landmarks of our fathers, the Express will ever seek to make it the exponent of the will of the people and strenuously oppose.ail rings, cliques or combina tions organized to defeat the popular expressions of the people.— Dal ion Enterprise: Borne News.

Alexander was elected Mayor and his entire ticket except two, and Dailey, on Spurlock Packet, were elected in their stead. Rev. D B Hamilton was elected master of Rome Grange to-day. Gen. George S Black, D B Ham ilton, J J Cohen and C£> Harris are expected to leave in the morning for the State Grange, which meets in Atlanta to-morrow. The steamer Dispatch left for Car ter's Banding Monday morning, on her first trip. The steamer Mary Carter will go up on Thursday, and will make weekly trips thereafter. If our Canton friends would but go to work they could have a steamer arriving and departing from their town once a week. Can’t you stir them up a tittle f Business is good and our streets present a iiv-vi-iike appearance. The streets are crowded with wag ons from all the sourrounding coun ties, and some from North Carolina. This may seem strange to some, nev ertheless, it is true. They bring their apples, cabbage, &c., here for .'.tie. Gen. James Tilton is about through with his work for this season and will soon leave us. He is highly es teemed by all who know him, and all regret to see him leave. They hope he will be sent back to com plete the various water routes. We hope he will be put on the Etowah next year and open it to Canton, whether the Canton folks do any thing or not towards getting an ap propriation. I know they will glad ly accept a 113- benefits that may ac crue from it. I want to see them en joy it lain glad Maj. M. A.

The New York Sun says Georgia is now the only State where dogs ere not taxed. We cannot deny the im peachment, but what is the use of letting all the dogs of the country know the fact? Nor need the Sun, if it loves us a bit, go out of its way to tel! northern people who are look ing for new homes, that we prefer flocks of dogs to flocks of sheep. “Leah Mordecai” is the title of a novel just being published by the critical New York House of Sheldon &Cos.
