Glcaaiiigt and Winnowing* from our State Exchanges. The Central Railroad committee gives the value of the Chattahoochee river steamboats at $56,064.14. A colored man in liaurens county beat his cousin, a negro woman, to death the other day. Mrs. Temperance Smith dieel in Tatnall county on the 12th, aged one hundred and seven years. The Macon Gas Company has taken all the burners off the city lamps, and the police now have things to them selves. Unknown parties in Hawkinsvide have a curious habit of firing pistols and throwing stones through the win dows of tiie Episcopal church in that ! place. Mr. Jos. F. Comer, of Clarke coun ty, with two colored boys, made this year on thirty acres of land, thirty ■ bales of cotton, sixty barrels of corn, 200 bushels of potatoes, 120 bushels of | wheat. The Press and Cultivator is com plaining of the uncomfortable char acter of Spalding county jail. It will be so after a while that jaiis will be supplied with sofas, carpets and coal and warm baths. The thirty-fourth gin-house burned in Georgia since the first of Septem ber is that of Mr. Robert Lewis, of Dooly county. The fire was acciden tal, and the loss is about one thousand dollars. Mr. Ben McGeehee, of Jasper county, an old gentleman and well known citizen fell into a mill-race the other day, while attempting to get on his horse, and was drowned. Dr. Reuben F. Wright, of Forsyth, will shortly remove to Dalton. Dr. Wright is one of the most brilliant and ambitious young physicians in the State, as well a clever gentleman, and Dalton may well afford to con gratulate herself. Mr. Ij. W. Downs, of Oconee coun ty, made this year eighty-one bales of cotton with nine mules, 1,086 bush els of corn, and meat enough for the white families of the place, besides clearing up land, fencing and ditch ing a farm entirely out of repair. The work was commenced February Ist, the farm having came into this gentleman’s possession only a short while before. The Irvviuton Southerner says that Mr. Peter Youngblood,of Wilkinson county, was fifty-two years old on the 28th of November. He has never bought a.pound of bacon or a bushel of corn, has never had a lawsuit or a difficulty with one of his neighbors, does not owe a dollar in the world, never was sued, and for the past sev enteen years has sold bacon and corn, and now iias some to sell. Athens Watchman: We bad the pleasure of meeting His Excellency Gov. Smith, Gen. Colquitt, Col. John H. James, three gentlemen who have been mentioned in connec tion with gubernatorial honors, and several others who would doubtless like to be Governor, but as we did not “interview” them for the pur pose of giving publicity to their re marks, we are not permitted to state what they said. The truth is, we have no doubt but they have been previously bored already by inter viewers, and we have no disposition to increase the pressure. When the proper time comes, we hazard little in saying they will let their friends hear from them. The Monroe Advertiser contains the following : Redbone district is ahead in pork raising, as far as heard from. A farmer, who has lately given up the schoolmaster’s work fsr the more active and more pleasant task of “scratching tne earth,” killed twen ty-six hogs, of an average age of six teen months, that weighed net 5,720 pounds. The heaviest hog weighed 450 pounds, Mr. A. B. Floyd killed two hogs, sixteen months old, that weighed 620 pounds. He slaughtered many orders, but these two were the best. Mr. Berry Howard, who has never failed to kiil enough “to do him,” slaughtered twelve that weigh ed 2,450 pounds. It was only two days ago that Jones, painfully aware of his inebrie ty, endeavored to conceal it from the public by buttoning his coat up very closely, imparting an abnormal still ness to his knees, and tripping over his own lieels. He stalked up to a streetcar, walked briskly in just as the horses started forward—and in stantly tumbled out backward with out unbending a muscle. Straight way he recovered the upright, splashed with mud, and entered the car and seated himself beside an ac quaintance, making no sign of mis hap. Presently he turned to this in dividual and queried: “Klision?” “No.” lie considered a moment, and then asked: “Qffutrack?” “No.” More reflection sleepily ; then again: “Runoverprecpice?” “No.’ “Splozhn ?” “No.” Somnolent cogitation. “Any accident?” “Not at all.” He took in this piece of in formation, and concluded he must be very drunk indeed. Anxious to cover up the fact and turn the mat ter oil respectfully, he shortly turn ed again with the bland observation: “Well, if I’d anone that 1 wouldn’t got out.” He blinked off into an unconscious state after awhile, then “woke up” with Ift eyes very wide open, to show that lie had only been thinking. lie rode on about a mile beyond his street, and was* finally taken home in a hack. —Detroit Tri bune. Three Pennsylvania girls who started West about a month ago, with the intention of adding to Brigham Young’s stock of wives, all got mar ried to railroad conductors before they reached Omaha. Fifty thous and Massachusetts spinsters are ear nestly wanting to know by what lines they traveled. “Now my little boys and girls,” said a teacher, “1 want you to be very still—so that you cau hear a pin drop.” In a moment all were silent, when a little boy cried out, ‘ Let her drop!” Many a good-minded mother has in nocantly warped her son’s character Satanward bv arguing that gray patches could be inserted into his black pantaloons without the other boys being able to detect the differ ence. The boy’s first really great lesson in acting usually takes place upon his meeting his mother in search of the pantry key, which lies se curely at the bottom of his trowsers. Spinner who is in Florida, writer his signature on the sands of a bayou and the alligators coine up to look at it and immediately get the jim jams. Special Notices. DR.

May. 1871 li Dear Sir—After carefully examining the formula by which it is made, and using two bottles of your Sanative Dentkifice, I take great pleasure in recommending its use to mi patients and to all others who may wish to keep their teeth and gums in a pure and heallhy condition. The formula, I can testify, contains nothirg but what is conducive to the health, clenuliness nnd purity of the mouth. I find it to be also very efficient for cleansing artificial teeth and preventing the accumulation of oil j and earthy deposits upon the plate. It is in deed, au elegant combination of pure Castile Soap with other cleansing and preserving in gredients delicately flavored. Very Respectfully, W. W. FORD, Surgeon Dentist. Professional Cards.

HAVING purchased the Standard & Express newspaper, together with its good will and patronage, presses and printing material, I shall continue its publication under the name e* t m TUI OAITItSVILLI MM. The old name is abbreviated for the sake of convenience , re aming, as I believe, the most expressive part of it. THE EXPRES S* Will be emphatically a HOME PAPER earnestly devoted to the mineral and agricultural interests of Bartow, sparing n* effort to advance these to the best of my ability. I shall also exert the influence of THE EXPRESS % in the building up of Carte rsville, and aid all I can in pushing our little city forward as one of the livest places in Georgia In a word THE EXPRESS Will recognize the fact that the interests of Bartow County and Cartersville are inseparable—that whatever advances th progress of either is the good of both. POLITICS. TIIE EXPRESS will be thoroughly and uncompromisingly Democratic—opposed to all RINGS and CLIQUES and an enemy to all combinations to use the party for personalia am bitious motives. It will vindicate the integrity of the party as the party ol the people and lor the people—as the proper ex ponent of free government, and as the only political organiza tion capable of restoring government in this country to its original methods and principles. Upon this line of party faith I shall recognize no other political creed than that the De mocracy is the party of free government and of a free people THE EXPRESS ill be a free, bold and independent paper, and not the organ of any riIMG KTOR CLIQUE As has been very erroneously and unjustly charged. The mer chant, the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer will find The Express the friend of all alike—striving to build up all inter ests, defending the rights of all classes. With this short and hurriedly written expression of mv in tentions, I ask the favor and patronage of an honest pedole. promising to exert my best endeavors to present a newspaper equal in merit and tone to any paper in the State. I hop * no one will be influenced by any silly charges that Tin: Ex PRES3 will be run on any other line than that of honesty and independence. Address all orders for the paper to The Exrpess, Cartersville. C. 11. €. W iLLlX(iill.t.tl, Proprietor. VOLUME XVI-NUMBEfi 52.
