the bad press work on our paper.
One of the most convenient conve

BARTOW COUNTY.
TUo \alue of lier rrol’erty and the
Small Depreciation from last Year.
Lartow is one of the best counties
in the State. The tax digest shows
that, notwithstanding the extreme
stringency of the times and the gen
eral depreciation of property of all
kinds, Bartow makes an exhibit in
ferior to no other county in the val
uation of her property. This is ow
ing to the thriftiness of her farmers
and business men generally. The
following are the aggregates taken
from the tax books of the present
year. The number of polls is 2,868,
and the total number of acres of
lands is 305,224. The following are
the
VALUATIONS :
Aggregate value of 1and5...52,045,981
Aggregate value of city or
town property 602,860
Amount of money and sol
vent debts of all kinds... 691,575
Amount of merchandize 153.905
Stocks and bonds 53,205
Value of household and
kitchen furniture above
the value of 825 95,920
Plantation and mechanical
tools above the value of
825 18,930
Value of all other property
not before enumerated
except annual crops, pro- *
visions, Ac., 408;490
Value of property of default
ers not doubled 9,610
Aggregate value of whole
property 4,141,176
Special tax on professions,
Ac., 635
Amount of tax on {soils • -
(some doubled) 3,155
The aggregate value of all property
for 1874 was £4,365,559, making the
depreciation for the present year,
$223,383, or a fraction over 5 percent.
It seems to be the belief among
many that the city property of Car
tersviile has depreciated 25 per cent.,
but the tax books do not show it by
one-fourth of that amount. The
property of Cartersville was return
ed last year at 8-189,910, and the pres
ent year $461,220, making the depre
ciation only $28,720, or a fraction less
than 6 per cent.
When we take into consideration
the great shrinkage in all values,
caused by.the panic of 1873, the bad
management of the financial affairs
of the Federal government and the
withdrawal of a great deal of the
currency from circulation, we think
Bartow county makes a most admir
able showing. Our people certainly
have cause to feel proud of their
county.

January 29th, 1876. Ample accom
modation will be provided by the

witness the exercises.

Bad Printing.
Apologies in regard to to the print
! ing of a paper we abhor ; but we are
| forced to apologize for the bad press
work of The Express since it came
into our hands. The press is anew
machine to us, and we had to lear
to run it on correct principles. We
thought we had learned to run the
press pretty well, and did get a tol
erably fair impression of our paper
last week. This week, in printing
the first ami fourth pages, or first
side, of the paper, the weather was
so cold, (and the ink was made for
summer use) that we could not get;
anything like a respectable impres
sion. If there i3 any annoyance
greater to a printer than another it is
bad printing. We have ordered win
ter ink and hope to have it in time
for “our next.” If we have to apol
ogise another time, behanged if we
don’t throw away our commission
and make no more promises about a
handsome sheet. We have nothing
to abuse this week except the bad
weather and stiff ink.

CIIRISTMAL DAY.
The Great Festival of the Nativity of our
Savior Jesus Christ.
As our paper is published two days
before Christmas it may be appro
priate and pleasant reading for many
of our patrons to have something to
say of the nature of the great festival
of Christmas. The Episcopal, Cath
olic, Greek, Lutheran and perhaps
other churches are very particular in
the observance of Christmas day as
the nativity of the Savior. Wherever
there is a church or congregation of
cither, appropriate services to the oc
casion are held in conformity with
prescribed ritual.
For the observation of this festi
val they claim the authority of the
primitive Church. Although there
is no certain evidence of the exact
time when it was first observed, it
was very early observed all over
the West. The immemorial of it.
is proof of the primitive institution.
While it is considered of inferlo
moment, whether the 25th of Decem
ber bo the real anniversary of Christ’s
birth, the matter of real importance
with the churches named is that
particular day be set apart for cele
brating with proper gratitude and
devotion, the blessed event of the
Savior’s nativity.
The Episcopal Church with which
we are most familiar, in her services
for the day, both excites and assists
the devotion of her children. In her
first lesson she reads to her people
the'dearest prophesies rtf Christ’s
coming in the flesh; ami in the sec
ond lessons, and in tlie epistle and
gospel, she shows the completion of
those prophesies by giving the en
tire history of Ilis birth. In the col
lect she teaches to pray that her chil
dren may be partakers of the benefits
of Ids birth, and in the proper psalms
she employs them in the duty of
praising and glorifying God for this
incomprehensible mystery.
Christmas day is held in great rev
erence by the churches referred to,
and is a day of rejoicing in each of
the communions.
Services will be held in Ascension
Church in this place on Saturday
morning, to which the people are re
spectfully invited to attend.

An Original Piece of MS. from His Own
Hand.
Mrs. Joyner, wife of Rev. R. W.
Joyner, of Ascension church in this
place, has in her possession the docu
ment below from the “Father of his
Country” in his own handwriting,
and is the original copy of it as sent
“to the General Assembly of Virgin
ia.” Mrs. Joyner is a relative of the
Lee family, of which Gen. R. E. Lee
is a member. Her great-grandfather
was clerk cr secretary of the General
Assembly when the document copied
below was read, and the letter found
among his papers after his death:
To the General Assembly of Vir
ginia :
Gentlemen —For your address, be
pileased to accept my acknowledge
ments.
That any services of mine should
have produced a declaration of the
friendship and gratitude of the Leg
islature of Virginia, cannot but be as
pleasing as it is honorable to me,
whose highest ambition has been,
by faithfully and zealously serving
my country to the utmost of my
abilities, in all the public employ
ments of my life, to merit ihe appro
bation of my fellow-citizens.
It is with" unfeigned thankfulness
for the goodness of a kind Providence
that I look forward to the period
when the first wishes of my heart are
to be gratified in returning once more
to private occupation in the shades of
rural retirement.

I Col, T. M, Acton, of tie Constitution.
Who doesn’t know the jolly old
sou! who bears the above name and
j newspaper connection ? He is a spry
i old man and is as fond of a good
' thing as smaller men are. When lie
is out in the backwoods upon his
mission of drumming for the Constitu
tion, he doesn’t mind attending a
shindig occasionally. He is, also, in
| favor of James for Governor. While
j in Douglass county a few days ago,
the old man whiled away the tedium
| of the shades of evening by attend
ing a rural party, where everybody
was for James, kiuiolks and all. He
heard the new song “for James,” and
remembers only a verse, which lie
hums to special friends: It runneth
thus :
“What kind of a man do you think I am,
And do yon think I’ll do ?
Doggone my skin it I ain’t a John James man,
And all iny children too.’’
When the sonorous voice of our
friend swells out upon the last line
the mefody of the music is simply
inspiring until one remembers the
old man lias no children.
African M. E. Church Conference.
The North Georgia Methodist A.
E. Church has just closed its an
nual session in our city. W'e under
stand there was in attendance about
one hundred preachers. They were
a fine body of men, and managed
their business with remarkable dis
patch and appeared to be happy and
prosperous in their operations. They
were presided over by Bishop Ward,
formerly of California, who is indeed
a man of decided ability and pos
sessed of a catholic spirit. Their
preaching was very good, especially
the sermons preached on Sunday
morning and evening by Revs. Stew
art and Peck. Their mission seemed
to be strictly to preach the gospel as
a denomination. They know no
North, no South, no East, no West.
Have nothing to do with politics.
They lwve made a fine impression
upon our community. We bid them
God speed. We are sorry-we- cannot
give a list of the appointments this
week.

REDUCE OUR TAXES.
No usa in trying to dodge the fact
Our country is tired of high taxation.
We can and must reduce them. The
County Court is abolished and that is
a great help. Now reduce the pay
of jurors to $1 03 or 81.50 a day, and
that will save a large sum, and again,
hire for a salary, a good business
man to receive tax returns and col
lect the same. There is positively
no use in employing two men to do
one man’s labor. There are many
capable business men from whom we
Could select one, who could do all
the business connected now with our
tax system who could he employed
for a yearly salary of one thousand
dollars, and then, be much better
paid then our fanners, merchants
and professional men, who, if they
nominally earn more, cannot collect
more, under our odious homestead
law. Surely our people should re
turn to the old, sound policy of re
trench meet. Were we ever less able
to pay taxes than at present ? Then
let us adopt some plan to lower them.

The Express.
We clip the following from the Ce
dartown Express , and thank our kind
friend Mr. Gibson, the editor, for his
truthful statements of facts in connec
tion with our record:
We have receiver! The Carters
ville Express, Willingham’s new
paper. As we predicted through
these columns some weeks ago, it is
a good paper, and one which we
hope the good people of Bartow
county will heartily support. The
insinuations to the effect that Mr.
Willingham went to Cartersville in
t ie interest of, and to do battle for a
cotton ring, whose working and ob
ject were adverse to the interest of
the people, is the merest stuff. His
past record as an independent, fear
less, bold and able defender of the
people’s interest is a just, fitting and
withering rebuke to the unjust
charge. W e know him, and by vir
tue of this knowledge unhesitatingly
say that Georgia never produced a
cleverer, more honest or conscientious
man than Charlie Willingham. He
wields a ready and potent pen and
always on the side of right and jus
tice, * never stopping to consider
whether the advocacy of these prin
ciples places him on the side of the
majority or whether they impel him
to struggle with the minority. Be
ing a man of integrity, honest, able
and sincere, he deserves, and we are
confident will enlist and bring to his
aid and support every good citizen
in Bartow county. From the bottom
of our heart, we wish him unprece
dented success.
We publish these, notices because
we have been unjustly charged with
corruption in taking charge of The
Express. There is not a disinter
ested or respectable editor in Geor
gia who believes for a moment that
we are to be bought with a price, or
influenced from the right by any
consideration, whatever. There is
not money enough in Cartersville or
Bartow county to swerve The Ex
press from the cause of justice and
correct principles.
Since our residence here, we are
glad to say, we have received noth
ing but kindness from the people of
this town and county, and we intend
to give them a journal true to their
interests, and above all little insinua
tions against the honesty of others.
We-defy and scorn all imputations or
insinuations reflecting upon our in
tegrity as a journalist.
Since writing the foregoing the fol
lowing notices have come to hand :
Willingham is making a beautiful
sheet of The Cartersville Ex
press.—Chronicle and Sentinel.
Under the management of Mr. C.
11. C. Willingham, one of the best
journalists.in the State, and one of
the most honest, The Cartersville
Express is looming up as one of toe
most vigorous and intelligent of our
weekly papers.— Macon Telegraph.
The third number of The Car
tersville Express came to hand
yesterday vastly improved. Mr.
Willingham will prove to the people
of Bartow county before he gets
through with them that lie is not on
ly incapable of being controlled by a
ring, but that he is one of the best
editors in the State. — Savannah Mews.
Cartersville Express. —This
paper now comes to us under the
management of Mr. C. 11. C. Will

among the readers ef the Reporter.
We wish him the most abundant
success with his new paper.— La
Grange Reporter.
We have received The Carters
ville Express now owned anded
ited by Mr. C. H. C. Willingham.
It is a model weekly paper in its ty
pography, editorial management and
general make-up. Willingham is
both an able editorial writer and a
good printer, and never fails to make
an interesting paper. He is now evi
dently doing his best. — Columbus
Times.
We have received as an exchange
The Cartersville (Ga.) Exxhess.
We notice from the number before
us that Mr. C. H. C. Willingham,
formerly editor of the Rome Courier,
and at o.ie time associate of Hon. A.
H. Stephens in the editorial manage
ment of the Atlanta Sun, has be
come its editor and proprietor. It
is truly said of Mr. Willingham that
he is one of the nestors of Southern
journalism, and his faithful and pa
triotic services in the interests of our
section is generally acknowledged.
He is as well and favorably known
;in Alabama as Georgia, and his
name alone is sufficient to insure suc
cess to The Express. We are glad
to learn that our old and esteemed
friend, Cornelius Willingham, is al
so engaged on The Express with
his father. Cornelius is a chip off
the old block, and we wish him, as
we do his father, success, financially

These notices, as will be seen, are
from some of the best papers in the
South, and from the jiens of gentle
men who have been familiar with
our journalistic record for many
years, some of them reaching back
nearly a quarter of a century. We
assure our friends we deeply feel
their kindness in defending us from
a baseless and silly charge which is
bound to react upon those making it
in the minds of all true men.
Avoid a frowning wife and “trouble in the
camp” by buying some of that extraordinary
mince meat from A. D. VANDIVEIiE.
Revenue. —C. T. Warren, Depu
|ty Collector, whose headquarters
have been in this city received orders
on Tnesday last to report to Atlanta,
: and went down yesterday morning.
As Conley takes Brown's place it is
uncertain whether Warren will be
returned. Be that as it may, we can
safely say that the Deparnment is not
likely to get a man more vigilhnt
in the discharge of his duties than
Mr.. Warren has been and at the same
time more prudent than lie has been.
He has conducted the affairs well and
that without any unnecessary arrests.

Boston, December 16-The medical
commissioners appointed by the city
council to investigate The sanitary
condition of the city, report that near
ly two thirds of the people in Boston
are foreigners and their offspring; and
of this proportion two-thirds are Irish.
DENNIS YANDIVERE has just received a
large lot of mince meat, kraut, cabbage, pig’a
leet, and everything you want for a big Christ
mas dinner.
Ex-Gov. John C Bbown, ot Ten
nessee, has been tendered, and has-ac
cepted, the vice-presidency of the
Texas Pacific railway company.
Brownlow (Republican) says that
ex-Senator Henderson (Republican)
is “a sneak.” And this, because the
latter, in pushing a criminal suit
one ot the pets of Gen. Grant, held
the Administration responsible for
the frauds perpetrated upon the Gov
ernment by its particular proteges.
The country is in urgent need of sev
eral more such ’’sneaks “
Georgia is poor; of course, she is.
How con’d she be otherwise when
she spent last year for mules and hor
ses raised in other states $1,000,780?
These animals cost SIOO ahead in the
average when they could have beeu
raised at home S6O a head. And yet
only 6035 are annually foaled in the
state.
The vote on the Holman resolution
it is believed in Washington has indu
ced Tom Scott to abandon his enor
mous Texas Pacific subsidy scheme
after the presidential election. If this
be true, what a host of editorials have
been writen out of season!
Smith, late of the Indian bureau
which he left fm his country’s good,
has been provided for. He has been
unanimously elected president of the
Howard university. He plucked the
Indians, and now he will pluck the
freedmen.
Postmaster General Jewell
declines to allow the use of his name
as the republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Connecticut
When President Grant heard of
Blaine's refusal to vote on the third
term question he is reported to have
said: “Blaine is not in anybody's way
so he need not be so and and careful.”
It now seems settled that the
Mississippi Legislature will impeach
both Gov. Ames and Lieut. Gov.
Davis. The case against the latter is
thought to be much the stronger.
