Tlac Rome Stove XTor&s.
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

built. It is not a mammoth Mouse, but a

—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

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

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.

IXFELICE.
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.

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

long cherished.
New Music.
We acknowledge the receipt of “Sweet Lil

“Silver Threads among the Gold.” The mel

sitions. The song and cuorus lias an illus
trated title and sells at 30 cent''.
The above piece is published by Messrs.
Turner & Braumuller, SO Whitehall st., Atlan

new enterprise, into which these gentlemen
have entered, and with the style of music they
publish, are bound to meet with success. Par.

to semi for the above.
McWilliams 5s Cos.. Rome, Cfa.
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

tainly that he would be returned to Carters

the pleasure of meeting the reverend gentle

upon their good luck, and trust they may be
as successful next year.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
An Interesting: Statement from Rev.
Theo. E. Smith.
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? *

The ,l Patent Outside” Feature.
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

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

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

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,

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.—

More Ire-cS Notices.
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
