Death of Mrs. C. li. Wallace.
Our community was deprived last
week of one of its brightest orna
ments and most estimable charac
ters —Mis. Charles B. Wallace. She
came to Cartersvilie four years ago,
a stranger to every one, hut soon
won for herself that esteem which is
the guardian of a refined
Christian woman. Her life was a
beautiful illustration of all the social
virtues, anc a sweet incentive' to
Christian duty. By seemingly
untimely removal to the “better
land,” an interesting household is
desolated, a void made in the com
munity not easily to be filled.
There is to us something irrepressi
bly sad and perplexiug tn the death
of this wife and mother, leaving be
hind her a husband and four little
children. Periiaps even this will he
cleared up by and by. The large
procession on Saturday, as it wended
its way to the cemetery, was a beau
tiful tribute to her worth and a pleas
ing token of sympathy jto the be
reaved family.
11. P. Ford is the live grocer of which we
have heretofoie spoken, aud any one trading
with Henry, will find that he does uot adver
tise anything but what he means.
Public Schools.
To the Editor of The Express:
Much has been and is being said in
reference to the public school sys
tem. Asa teacher I have this to
say—for a three month’s school
worth about SIOO, I received from the
school fund of last year $29.50. To
make contract with the County
Schpol Commissioner, and to make
settlement went to Cartersvilie twice,
a distance of twenty miles, the two
trips costing me about $5. This de
ducted from the amount received
leaves $24.50, or about one-fourth of
the tuition of three months —less
than one month’s pay.
Settlements with teachers cannot
be made until late in the fall, when
most of the farmers have disposed of
the surplus of their farms, and the
teachers must wait another year for
their pay. Hence I say the public
school law as now operated is a pub
lic nuisance. I have conversed with
several teachers in this community
and all agree with me that the pub
lic money that reaches us is so little
that it does not pay to look after it.
Too many officers’ salaries and prin
ters’ hills. The money does not reach
those who should have its benefits.
Farmer.
11. P. Ford is now receiving a good lot o
nails, horse shoes, and hoise shoe nails,
which he proposes to sell at the lowest cost
prices. ,
Our Tax Collector.
The grand jury presentments pub
lished in this issue of The Express
pay a well deserved compliment to
Mr. W. F. Corbin, our worthy and
clever tax collector. He has collect
. ed nearer all the taxes of the county,
as we are creditably informed, than
they have been collected during any
year since the war. We are always
glad to place on record complimen
tary notice of public officers when
deserved.
Call and price Opera Flannels (plaids and

Death of Mn. J. W, Pritchett.
While in Cartersvilie last week,
we were pained to learn that Mrs.
Pritchett had died a few days before.
We saw her at her pleasant tiome in
Cartersvilie about a week previous
to her death, and little did we then
think death was at the door of our
esteemed friend, who was surround
ed by a loving wife and happy
children, and that the fond wife and
mother was so soon to be his victim.
Mrs. Pritchett was an accomplished
and amiable lady, a pious member of
the Baptist church, and much es
teemed by a large circle of friends.
-She leaves a little son four years old,
by a former husband, and an infant
son three months old; also a step
daughter and son, to whom she was
a kind and tender mother. Our kind
friend, the bereaved husband, and
his motherless children, have our
warmest sympathias in their sad af
fliction. May the hope of a restora
tion in heaven of the loved and lost
cheer them in the days of their
mourning. The mortal remains of
Mrs. Pritchett were carried to her
forme** home in Sumter county, to
s'eep until awakened by the trumpet
of the last day. —Cherokee Geogian.
Mrs. Pritchett had lived but a little
more than a year in Cartersvii'e.
During that time she had drawn
around her a numberof firm friends.
A few days before the fatal ill
ness she had repeatedly expiessed
herself as bemg supremely happy as
to the relatives of this wo**!d. From
the Line she w*as taken sick she felt a
consciousness of early disso’uticn.
Though it was sad to leave those she
loved so well, she entertained no
fear of death, but expressed her
wdlingness to meet her Savior upon
whom she reliantly *based her hope
of a happy immortality. To the be
reaved, comparative strangers to the
writer, we extend our sincere condo
lence. and trust they will become
reconciled to the loss which w r e have
every reason to believe was the gain
of the departed.
Mrs. Pritchett’s remains were car
ried to Sumter county for interment.

The first number of the new vol
ume of the American Farmer , for
1876, is received, and is a capital one
in every respect. The mass of prac
tical information in every branch of
agriculture, in this single number, is
worth far more to any inquiring far
mer who is anxious to improve his
land and his condition, than the
year’s subscription. Space cannot he
spared to enumerate the various pa
pers offered in this initial number of
the year; hut the reports from the
agricultural club and other meetings,
of successful modes of farming, will
be found of peculiar interest, noming
as they do from well-kuown practi
cal farmers and horticulturists. The
number of correspondents of this
old journal, as shown in the copy
before us, is very large, and includes
letters from France and Germany,
and from many of our own States, all
giving the most improved methods
of farming within their hounds. Pub

ROME NEWS.
Short ami Quick Notes from Our Busy
Correspondent.
The steamboat inspectors were
busily engaged all last week and a
part of this in investigating some al
leged irregularities in the running of
Ihe steamboats, and the conduct of
some of their officers. What it re
sulted in your deponent knoweth
not, as the inspectors have not made
their decisions known, but I suppose
all was found right as the steamers
continue to run as usual.
The Superior Court adjourned last
Saturday over to the fourth Monday
in May, but the Judge will hear mo
tions on Saturday next, and hear
what some of our District Road Com
missioners have to say for not keep
ing their roads and bridges in good
order. The Judge believes in good
roads and safe bridges. Who blames
him? The Judge sent three to the
penitentiary, two whites and one
black, and eight or nine to the chain
gang.
Judge Wright goes down to at
tend your court this week. Look
after him and see that he is well fed
and return him as soon as he gets
tb rough.
General Tilton is improving and
will soon be all right again.
I. N. Horn stands as high and as
straight as usual.
Everybody in this section seems to
be in favor of a Constitutional Con
vention.
A prominent man from Atlanta
was here a few days ago, and said
that the interest on the city debt
there was sl9 per hour. Is this true ?
If so the Atlanta papers should not
have so much to say about the in
debtedness of other cities.
A. J. King is the coming candi
date for the next Senator in this Sen
atorial District. Col. W. H. Dab
ney seems to be the choice of many.
A better man could not be selected.
Trade is good. Cotton still comes
in from all quarters.
The young folks will marry, and
the old ones, too, when they take a
notion to do so. Nobody blames
them.
Col. Samuel M. Carter w*as in the
city this week looking after his
steamboat interest, and seemed much
pleased with the situation of affairs.
Vegetation is coming out and
plumbtrees are blooming.
Judge Underwood has gone down
to Atlanta to aid General Phillips in
getting a SIOO,OOO appropriation for
las railroad AOlll Marietta to Mor
ganton, N. C. If he succeeds he
should get General Phillips to assist
him in getting a $50,000 appropria
tion for the opening of the Etowah.
There is as much reason for one as
there is for the other, if not more so.'
John A, Johnson, who has been
very ill for some weeks past, is
thought to be improving.
There is a move on foot to build
another boat to ply the Oostanaula
and Coosawattee rivers. The U. S.
mail will be put upon the river on
and after the first day of July next.
Hew by,
Southern Shirt Manufajtury.
One of the enterprises that com
mends itself the Southern public is
the shirt factory of E. F. Shropshire
& Cos., of Atlanta. We have exam
ed some of their work and take pleas
ure in saying it is not excelled iu
quality or style by that of any other
establishment in the country. The
proprietors arc gentlemen of the ut
most reliability, and those desiring
handsome, well-made shirts will do
well to send their orders or leave
them with Mr, S. H. Patillo, who
will take measures.
Buff Cochii.a.
W e have received a pair of buff
cochin chickens from Mrs. Thos. J.
Perry, of Rome, that are exceeding
ly fine. She is an extensive poultry
raiser, and makes the light Brahmas
and huff cochins a speciality, and
have the finest in Cherokee Georgia.
Asa proof of this she always takes
the premium wherever she exhibits
them. They are a large fowl, and
good layers. If any one wishing to
get the pu*e breed and on good terms
we would recommend them to her.
Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton,
A correspondent of the Covington
Star thus speaks of the Ohio states
man :
The Hon. George 11. Pendleton of
Ohio, the great Democratic champion
of the North west, has been sojourning
in Augusta for several weeks past,
stopping at the Planters’ Hotel. He
is detained longer than he otherwise
would he, on account of the lllnes of
his daughter. He has made a most
favorable impression upon the gen
tlemen of our city, and many of them
do not hesitate to join with some of
the leading journals of the nation in
pronouncing him the man for the
next President of the United States.
There is hut little doubt about his
being the strongest man in the nation
whoso aspirations are tending to
ward the Presidency. Perhaps not as
popular, hut certainly more solid
than Bayard.
A morning or two since,during a vis
it which he was kind enough to make
to our office, your correspondent had
the pleasure of hearing him converse
for quite awhile upon the affairs of
the country. A few days ago, as
Mr. Hill was returntng to Washing
ton city, he stopped an evening at
Planters’ Hotel, where he met Mr.
Pendleton. Those who had the rare
privelege of hearing those two great
men discussing, in ordinary conver
sation, the present political condition
of our country, surely can never for
get it. Mr. P. travels considerably,
keeping Augusta all the time his
headquarters.
Women Lawyers.— Under the
head of “Statistics of Women Law
yers” it is stated that “in 1869 Mrs.
Mansfield was admitted to the bar of
lowa and miss Barkaloo was admitted
to the bar of Missouri; that in 1872
Mrs. Nash was admitted to the bar
of Maine and Miss Ray was admitted
to the bar of the District of Columbia,
and that Miss Golden has applied for
admission to the bar of lowa. There
are two women lawyers in the Dis
trict of Columbia’ one of whom is in
frill practice before the courts of the
District.

The following are extracts from
the speech of Mr. Banks in Congress
on the 13th in regard to the amnesty
bill then under discussion:
Therefore, sir, I do not hold either
that the President of the United
States is responsible for all or any
acts of his subordinates, no matter
how near he may have been in con
nection with them, nor how closely
they may be allied to him by friend
ship or political relationship; nor do
1 hold Air. Davis responsible for ev
erything that occurred under the gov
ernment of which he assumed to be
head. In regard to the atrocities at
Andersonville and elsewhere, I dis
miss from all consideration the dec
larations, arguments, aspersions,
criminations and recriminations
which for a week past 1 have heard
so constantly in this chtimlter. Ido
not doubt that the soldiers of the
Confederacy may have suffered in the
North, nor do I doubt that the sol
diers of the North may have suffered
in the South. It was incident to the
condition of things. For the guilty,
whoever they may be, I pray for
giveness; for the suffering, whoever
they may have been, I invoke the
blessing of God; for the crimes them
selves, I say let the earth hide them.
Let us shut them out of sight. (Ap
plause on the Democratic side.)
There is one thing, Mr. Speaker,
which is especially designed by all
the people, and that is peace, general
peace, peace in all sections, with all
parties, classes and races. This dec
laration of amnesty is the first step
that lias to be taken to that end—the
very first step. Nothing else will
answer in place of it.
