The ladies of Ascension Church de
serve great credit for the elegant
manner in which tlie church was
decorated for Christmas. It is really
a treat to see such a display of re

Latta, Hendrick and Jones, Mrs.
Trowbridge, and others whose names
we do not remember, is the credit
due for tlie splendid and appropriate
decoration of the church on Christ
mas day.
What Makes a Town Lively.
Advertising liberally but in a bus
iness like manner is what makes a
town lively. Tiie Express might
talk every week for ten years about
Cartersville being a lively and busi
ness place, but unless tiiei-e are ad
vertisements in its columns to prove
it all such talk would be in vain. A
good newspaper is a splendid medium
for building up a town when it is
backed by tlie liberal but judicious
advertising of its local merchants and
business men. If these don’t make
a good showing in tlie local press, it
makes a bad impression for the town.
This is business talk and not begging
for patronage.
Now, we would like to have an ad
vertisement in our next issue from
every good mercantile or business
house in Cartersville. That would
be a better showing for a live town
than all weean say in twelve months.
Come to our office and make con
tracts for advertising by the year.
Our terms are very low. It is the
cheapest way of advertising, and we
want to see how many will take ad
vantage of our contract rates. News
papers cannot work up business with
out co-operation.
Only a Half Sheet,
We did not expect to publish a
half sheet of Tiie Express this week;
but there is no event so demoralizing
to the industry of a printing office
than the Christmas holidays. The
average country printer can no more
be induced to indulge in the labor
of getting out a full paper than he
can be persuaded of the respectability
of the chain gang. They labor every
day, every week and every month of
the year without rest or recreation,
and they will have a few days of
Christmas in spite of editors and the
public*. Our readers, therefore, see
why we appear in a half sheet. If
they will pardon this short allowance
we promise to give them a splendid
paper during the incoming year.
Advertising anil dob Printing,
All transient advertising, or all ad
vertisements running shorter periods
than three months, and all job print
ing are to be paid for when the ad
vertisements are inserted and the job
printing when delivered.

ROWE,
Ah Altfm)itPil Riot ly tlin Negroes.
Rome, La., Dec. 20, 1875.
To the Editor of the Express;
Our Christmas could have been
called a merry one bad it not been
for the narrow escape from a riot yes
terday evening. The facts of the
trouble, as near as I can learn from
parties who were on the grounds, are
as follows: Yesterday afternoon about
•1 o’clock, a negro boy about fourteen
years of age, was arrested for some
misdemeanor, and as the policemen
who arrested him wqre on their way
to the calaboose, on the corner of
Green and Bridge streets, and a short
distance from the calaboose, a negro
man rushed up and swore that the
boy should not be locked up, when
he was also arrested, upon which a
general rush was made by the ne
groes to release both prisoners. Mr.
J. H. Lumpkin, our efficient mar
shal, asked Mr. John Coleman to
help them off if he could. Mr. Cole
man went between the negroes and
told them to keep back, whereupon a
negro by the name of Mullins said to
four or five who were in front, “Let’s
crowd the and <1 scoundrels,” when
Mr. Coleman again told them to keep
back, upon which they all halted and
Coleman had started to turn around
and go with Lumpkin to see the
prisoners safe in the calaboose, and
as lie turned around the negro Mul
lins threw a large rock, striking Mr.
Coleman a little behind the ear and
knocking him senseless. As soon as
he recovered he rose and with a stick
he struck at Mullins, but accidentally
hit Mr. Brown, a policeman, on the
shoulder, but the next lick he hit the
negro Mullins, dislocating his shoul
der, and the second lick he hit him
on the head, knocking him down,
when he arose and attempted to run.
31 r. Coleman hit him a third time,
when he, was in a good condition to be
arrested. During this time considera
ble excitement had been gotten up
by the negroes attempting to press
upon the officers', and a general hand
to hand tight ensued between the ne
groes and whites, arid had it not
been for the coolest and soberest of
judgment, which was displayed by
the officers and all those who were
assisting them, a very serious riot
would certainly have occurred. The
citizens were notified by a runner,
and it was but a few moments before
a large crowd was on the spot, armed
with shot guns and pistols, but the
best and coolest judgment was ob
served, and the riot that seemed al
most inevitable one time was
quieted and the crowd considerably
scattered. Thirty or forty extra po
licemen were sworn in and put on
immediate duty, as there was some
apprehension of an outbreak by the
negroes during the night, and even
now all fears have not died out and
the city is well guarded by the po
lice. As we have the very best of
officers, I think all will continue
quiet. The people here are strictly
law abiding, and it will be a sad day
for the negroes when they attempt
anything like a riot in our midst.
Had it not been for this trouble we
would have had as peaceable and as
merry a Christmas hero as has been
known for some time. Our mer
chants must have done a good busi
ness Thursday and Friday as the city
was literally crowded with people
from the country. Snikda.
Monroe’s Centennial Minstrels,
We received a call on Saturday
last from Harry Birus, agent for
Monroe’s Centennial Minstrels, who
make an appearance before our peo
ple on to morrow (Friday) night.

J. D. Head & Cos.
This firm, o tie of the best in Car
tersville, has shipped its goods to
Atlanta, where it will hereafter do
business. We regret to lose the gen
tlemen composing it from our city.
Mr. W. G. Dobson becomes a partner
in the firm at Atlanta, and his
friends regret to lose him from our
community. All the members, both
of the old and new firm, are gentle
men of superior business qualifica
tions, and their loss from our busi
ness circles will be seriously felt.
Delegates <> Canton.
The City Council met last night
and appointed the following persons
to represent the city in the mass
meeting at Canton, on Tuesday next:
Gen. P. M. B. Young,
Capt. Thos. J. Lyon,
C. 11. C. Willingham.
The object of this meeting is to dis
cuss the opening of the Etowah river

ernment. This is a very important
move to the interests 01 Cartersville.
Sargeant’s Restaurant, Rome.
See advertisement of this popular
eating house, one of the best in the

derstands his business better, or can

Good Appointment.
Mr. Conley has appointed Samuel
Sheats Deputy collector in this dis
trict in the place of Mr. Warren, re
moved. Mr. Sheats formerly lived
in Bartow county, and for two or
three terms represented that county
in the Legislature. He is thoroughly
identified with the people of North
Georgia, and while firm in the dis
charge of his official duties, he will
give no unnecessary trouble to law
abiding citizens. Mr. Sheats was
here yesterday and released a lot of
tobacco that had been seized by his
predecessor, llis headquarters will
be in Rome.— Rome Courier.
We have made the acquaintance of
.Mr. Sheats, and we are satisfied he
will he a popular officer, and will
give our business men as little
trouble as possible in the discharge of
his unpleasant duties. lie will sim
ply perform his duties in a gentle
manlike manner. We find Mr.
Sheats a most agreeable gentleman,
and commend him to the confidence
of all business men with whom he
has to deal.

The season is rapidly approaching and near
at hand when will he discussed political j.-u'es
affecting the National, and State clcciions of
1576. The Presidential election overshadows
all others iu its importanc e at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may be hard, the very
occasion of hard times ; s traceable to -ohices

see and States adjacent, to help extend it- cir
culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which arc now agitating the public mind, aad
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the char.ie.ter of the Government itself in the
luture. The American has uudeviatingiv
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, of
the rights of the States, and of individual 'lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed bv a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra

means and energies to political reform and the
restorati * n of the cod iutnimui ks and limita
