AROUND THE TOWN. Notes Gathered Here and There by our Reporters. The matrimonial market dull —no dealing in futures. No broken heads or black eyes in Cartersville during the past week. See advertisement of Prof. Milli can’s school. W ill notice further next week. The gobble gabble of the turkey has been the daily sound upon our streets for a week or two. A large drove of horses and mules passed through town on last Tuesday o i their way to Stilesboro. Mr. M. 11. Field, of Cherokee county, called in to see us yesterday. We hope to see him in our little city often. Attention is directed to the adver tisement of J. S. Adams, dealer in stoves, tinware, &c., which appears in another column. If there is anything we do enjoy it is a serenade from young ladies, and many thanks, fair ones, for the one favored as last night. The sun shone a little upon us yes terday, but Pluvius was too much for Old Sol, and cast an occasional shadow over his bright countenance. The holidays, so far, have passed off very quietly, though there was a good deal of liveliness displayed among some of our more youthful citizens. Mr. Ranse Sellers has left Carters ville and will hereafter do business in Atlanta. lie is a clever man and we hope he will do well as all good Confederates ought to do. Avery respectable gentlemen of this county attempted suicide on the 22nd by taking strychnine, which was prevented by the timely servi ces of Hr. Lindsey Johnson. The City Council should not fail to appoint delegates to the Canton mass meeting on Tuesday next, to consider the importance of securing govern ment aid for the improvement of the Etowah river and opening it to navi gation. The December number of the Ken nesaw Route Gazette has been receiv ed. It is a splendid number and is the epitome of the geography of our country. Any one sending 25 cents for it for one year receives a certifi cate entitling him or her to a chance in a drawing to be held June Ist, IS7(>, for a round trip ticket from At lanta to the Centennial at Philadel phia, 187 G. 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 fined taste. To Mrs. Latta, Misses 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. Mules and Horses For Sale See advertisement of Mr. F. p. (nay, receiver of B. G. Poole & Cos. who will sell a lot of mules and horses on Tuesday next at public out cry, 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. This troupe is on its way to Phila delphia where they have been en gaged to give entertainments during the centennial. They will appear here in their grand centennial pro gramme, consisting of now songs, dances, clog dances, etc. Tickets for sale at W. 11. Wikle & Co.’s book store, post ofliee building. McWilliams & Cos., of Home, Have just received for this season their second large stock of Dry Goods, Boots ami Shoes, Clothing, Ilats, Carpets, &c\, and arc now offering the greatest bargains ever offered iu this country. This stock lias been bought recently at greatly reduced prices and they propose giving their customers the benefit of the lowest prices ever made in this section. They arc doing an immense business, and parlies in want ot anything in their line ■wili find it to their interest to look through this mammoth stock before buying. We have been through this extensiVe house and wiil say that their stock is immense and , prices astonishingly low. Call and see their j jsoek when you visit Rome. dee 9. 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 to navigation by the General Gov 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 South. There is not ft cleverer man in the world than Joe Sargeaut, who gives his personal attention to the business, nor is there a man who un derstands his business better, or can make his guests more at home. Par ties visiting Rome will find Sar geant’s a good place to feed and sleep at. 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. All accounts on our books and notes in our possession are due.
