The sensation of the town on Tues

When a community wants a good
paper, the merchants and busine
men should support it. The Ex
press is one of the finest looking
country papers in Georgia, and we
intend to make it one of the best;
but it requires money to do it. So
let every merchant and business man
give us an advertisement. It will
help them along and give our town
the air of business. Let your paper
talk business for you, gentlemen of
Cartersville, among the people. That
is a way to make a town lively.

What it is Worth to a Community atul
Those Who Invest in It.
There is science in all business
transactions. There is judgment in
all kinds of business. Advertising
judicious and sensible advertising—
is no exception to the rule. Men
can be injudicious in advertising as
well as in regard to other business
transactions. A man may advertise
too much or too little. lie is just as
apt to be wrong in that as in any
thing else. Advertising should be as
much a study and science on the part
of business men as the business of
keeping his books.
\\ e once knew a Connecticut Yan
kee who, many years before the war,
: settled in a Georgia town not larger
than Cartersville. He was poor, and
his stock of family groceries did not
amount to but a few hundred dol
lars, but he was a man of business.
He realized the fact that the quickest
way to sell his little stock was to let
the public know what it was. The
tirst thing he did after opening out
his little stock was to go to the two
local papers and contract for so much
space in each for the year.
After he had engaged the space in
the two papers he used both system
atically and constantly, and in every
issue of both contained a fresh
advertisement, reading about as fol
lows :
A LARGE LOT OF FRESH CRANBER-
I ies j u?t received and for sale cheap l>y
T. BISHOP.
Not a number of the old Whip pr
Bonner came out that didn’t have
under the head of “new advertise
ments” just such a notice. T. Bish
op’s little store grew fuller and fuller,
and became the favorite resort of
housekeepers who desired to pur
chase something handsome in the
family grocery line. T. Bishop kept
everything in his line of business and
he advertised everything he had for
sale. We shall never forget setting
up tiiese little'advertisements every
week, until we thought TANARUS, Bishop
was the greatest man in town.
But T. Bi-hop’s little store became
a big establishment, and in the course
of time T. Bishop buiit a very com
fortable and spacious brick residence,
which was the envy of those who
did not advertise. And finally T.
Bishop died, leaving his heirs not
only a competency but gave them a
good position in society.
What has buiit up T. Bishop has
built up manyagigantic fortune. It
made Chicago what it was before the
great fire, and is making her to-day
the first city of the continent. Chi
cago was advertised into existence as
it were. Her merchants understood
tiie philosophy of it, and reaped the
advantages accordingly. Her news
papers are daily filled with what the
people want. These showed the
business pluck, energy and business
enterprise of her people. No town or
city has ever prospered that did not
understand the principles and*efforts
of advertising. Advertising has
made Atlanta. Advertising in the
local press will build up any town in
proportion to tlie advantages it can
offer in trade.
Cartersville can’t be made a Chica
go, because we cannot offer the com
mercial facilities and are not surround
ed and backed up by the same ad
vantages; but Cartersville can be
made a better and more prosperous
town by business enterprise. If t4ie
columns of The Express showed a
greater amount of business enter-
prise upon the part of merchants and
business men, don’t every man of in
telligence know that the tendency
would be to increase business ? The
incredulous will shake their heads as
they read this. They would shake
their heads at the prospect of the
Etowah iron foundry doing anything
these hard times if Rackett were nftt
there with his energy and industry
to prove what can be done under the
most adverse circumstances. But
Hackett works and advertises, and
has all the work he can do; his or
ders are a month ahead of him; he
tells the public what be can make,
and he comes up to his word.
Business is business, and advertis
ing is a part of it, and nothing is
more necessary to the prosperity of
a town than a good local paper, but a
paper cannot live on the wind. It
must be fed and encouraged with the
hope of gain or it is worthless. It is
not a pensioner upon the public, for
it does more for a town, when prop
erly conducted, than the same
amount of capital that can he invest
ed in any other business. And then,
is it not the sentinel upon the watch
tower, looking after the common in
terests of all? A community that
would starve and perish out such a
sentinel are unworthy of the advan
tage of having a good paper in their
midst. A town that will not support
a good paper ought to have none
better than a “patent outside,” and a
seven-column one at that.
Every effort is being made to pro
duce in The Express a first-class
local paper. It has been resurrected
from a condition of worthlessness at
a time that would have daunted the
most fearless —at a time when the
business season was principally over.
dvertising patronage has been very,
very limited. The spring trade is
about to open ; the merchants of all
classes, if they are men of enterprise,
want the public to know what they
have to seil, and they must make the
factß known through The Express
In conclusion, we believe the busi
ness men want a good local press, and
are liberal enough in a business point
of view, as well as sufficiently public
spirited, to come up to its support. If
they will only do the best they can,
they will not only benefit them
selves, but they will ultimately build
up and make Cartersville the first in
land town in the State.

On tearing a young gentleman King "You'll never
miss the Water ’till the Well runs Dry ”
In Life’s fresh dawn with brow erect,
We stand within its rosy beams,
With Hope’s gay flowers all bedecked,
While pleasure's path before us gleams.
We toss the golden hours away,
And let the days on light wings fly;
Ne’er thinking soon, too soon, we’ll say
The Water *s gone—the Well is drv.,’
The youth sees proudly o’er him stand
Ambition, with her dreams of fame.
And thirks •‘some day I’ll take her wand
And uin myself a glorious name.
This path’s so soit—this light so sweet—
Sl>e’s fair; but. oh. so cold and high !
Some day I’ll worship at her feet,” —
Tlie tide is past—the well runs dry.
The golden moment past, is gone;
It comes not hack with silent power,
Though we may stand and list andlng
That life would give us back that hour. j
Soft flitting by on viewless wings,
The lost, lost day will to us cry,
While Echo sweeps her broken strings,
“The Water’s gone—the Well is dry.”

Daatli of an Estimable Young Man.
John C. Williams, Esq., died at
the residence of his father, Mr. W.
A. Williams, on Wednesday night
of last week. The disease of which
he died, was, we believe, consump
tion. His health had been failing
for some time. Mr. Williams was
one of our most exemplary young
men. He had recently commenced
the practice of law, ami was rapidly
gaining ground, and a prosperous fu
ture was prophtcicd for him. His
uprightness and Christian demeanor
had won for him friends wherever
he was known.
The bar of the place held a meet
ing last Friday morning and ap
pointed pall-bearers and a committee
to draft appropriate resolutions,
which will appear next week.
The death of Mr. Williams lias
cast a gloom over our whole commu
nity, and the death of such a young
man may well be considered a loss
to any piaee. Ills remains were in
terred at Oak Grove Cemetery on
last Friday evening, Rev. A. J. Jar
rell, officiating. We tender our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family and friends.

Mr. lleqry W. Kingsbery, one of
the most popular young men in this
community, and who is favorably
known to all who have traded in
LaGrauge for years past, will leave
to-morrow for Cartersville. He has
not decided where he will locate; but
he will be an accession to any com
munity, and also to any business
house that may secure his services.
We regret to say good-bye to him ;
and it is no exaggeration to say that
everybody is sorry to see him leave.
We endorse every word of the fore
going. Mr. Kingsbery arrived here
Tuesday evening, where he will re
main for several days. We have
known this young gentleman for
eight years, and take pleasure in in
troducing him here as the most pop

The April Flood.
On Saturday last the rain fell near
ly all day, and at night a severe wind
arose and the rain fell all that night
and the most of Sunday. Nor did
the rain cease to fall until Monday
morning. In the afternoon of that
day. the sun shone out and we had a
most pleasant evening. Tuesday
was a magnificent spring day. That
being sale day, and the farmers not
being able to plow any, there were
quite a number of them in town.
The April tlood. we regret to see

of damage to farms, crops, bridges,

Ohituary.
Passed into eternal rest, on the
evening of the loth March, Mrs.
Eliza Francis Carrere, nee Rugge,
consort of the late Charles Carrere, in
the 95th year of her age; a native of
London, England, but a resident of
this city for the past seventy-eight
years, and probably its oldest inhabi
tant. About the close of the Revo
lutionary War she accompanied her
parenis to Philadelphia, and, re
maining there until the death of her
father, removed with her mother to
this city, where in the year 1797, she
married Charles Carrere, a refugee
planter from the Island of San Do
mingo, wiiose home and property
having fallen a prey to revolution
and war, he had sought, with many
others, an abiding place in Carolina.
It is seldom permitted to any, as
it was to this venerable lady, to live
so long a life ofsnch active usefulness
andconsistent piety; to have witness
ed the vicissitudes of life among
seven generations, the joy and the
misery incident to humanity, and,
after having faithfully performed her
own part in the great struggle, to
pass gently and calmly and content
edly into the infinite relying on the
mercy and the redeeming power of
the Saviour, whose precepts she en
deavored to follow for nearly a cen
tury.
The heart that beat so long is now
at rest, and the lifeless clay in the
church-yard is all that remains to a
Bereaved family of its once beloved
head ; and it is only left lor them to
exclaim as it was permitted her to
murmer in her last moments;
“For we know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dissolv
ed, we have a building of God, an
house not made with hands, eternal
in the heavens.” — From Charleston
Courier.

Mrs. Foster, and tlie grandmother

The Louisianna Sugar and Eice
Crops-
Complete returns having been re
ceived from several of the producing j
districts, we are enabled to present a
accurate data of the sugar and rice
crops of Louisiana for the season
1875-’76. The aggregate yield of
sugar was 144,146 hlids., against 116,-
867 the previous season, with the ex
ception of 1870, when the total pro
duct reached 144,881 hhds., the yield
of the past season is the largest since
the war; and, though an abundant
crop was expected, the result is con
siderably in excess of the estimates
and of the anticipations of the most
sanguine. Last season’s product rep
resents 162,428,070 pounds net, of
which 131,000,860 pounds was brown
sugar made by the old process, and
13,717,710, pounds and clarified. The
total crop of molasses and syrup was
10,870, 546 gallons; tne former con
stituted 9,344,883 gallons of the total,
and the latter, 1,525 gallons. Avery
large crop of rice was looked for, but
the lack of irrigation consequent on
the extreme dry weather during
May and June, materially lessened
theaggregate. However, the crop
was the largest ever produced in the
State, the total footing up 169,261 bar
r< Is or 38,930,720 pounds, net. As re
i gards sugar, these figures indicate a
! steady growth of the important in
terest, and if the product.of future
seasons increase in the same propor
tions with that of the past year, it
will not be long before Louisiana
will regain its ante-war prominence
as a sugar producer.—A r . Y. Butletin.

Delabarra, seeing he was betrayed
left the city with a squad of the 9th
cavalry for Brownesville, where be
now is". General Diaz is in Mata
moras, and lias been received with
gr< at rejoicing.
Fighting is now going on at San Fer
nando and Casamptu, a fortification
in the suburbs of Matameris, by a
remnant of the government troops
under command |of Cols. Oristo and
Parrott, who refuse to surrender.
The artillery is roaring, and the con
test is uncertain. Hundreds of fam
ilies from Matamoras have been
pouring into Brownsville for a week
past in anticipation of a battle, and
the greatest excitement prevails on
both sides of the river. The officers
and troops who crossed over to Texas
have been arrested and dis-armed by
General Potter, and taken to Fort
Brown, under orders of the Secreta
ry.

Naughty Blacker-
A reporter of the Constitution has
been nosing around the Philistines
and presents to public gaze startling
statements concerning the manner in
which the revenue laws of the best
government the world ever saw are
enforced. The principal actor in this
Beiknapish affair is one Blacker, a
United States Deputy Marshal, a man
tinted for his brutal conduct toward
prisoners. It seems from the evi
dence adduced tha* he makes lots of
ducats by “settling eases,” i. -t\, by
hushing up the matter in payment
of certain sums of money. He is
ably assisted in his nefarious system
by a corps of men equally as brutal
as himself. There is a vast amount
of evil-doing among the mountain
eers of North Georgia in the viola
tion of revenue laws, but there is no
need for such brutality.
The appearance of the articles of
expose, of the black practice of the
revenue officers, falls into their camp
like a bomb, and were all the under
history of dark -deeds committed by
these officers brought to light, it
would come like a red-hot cyclone
blown from the mouth of the* devil
himself. The Constitution reporter is
doing the public a great service, and
may result in breaking up the whole
sale system of outraging the people
by undue exercise of unlawful au
thority.—Atlanta Correspondence Au
gusta Constitutionalist.
The North Georgia Prisoners-
An Atlanta correspondent of the
Chronicle A .-..*.* under date of
March 31st, writes:
Nothing later has been heard from
the President in regard to the par
don of the north Georgia offenders
against the revenue laws, and it is
now pretty generally believed that
the pardon will not be granted,
Hon. Amos T. Akerman, ex-Attor
ney-General of the United States, in
a conversation yesterday with the
correspondent of the Savannah News,
aBWHg othefthiTlgg,mM Hro prnn♦
of the petition would establish a pre
cedent that might become a source
of great annoyance and trouble to
President Grant, as similar petitions
would pour in from all parts of the
country. While Mr. A. expressed
himself in sympathy with the pur
pose of the petition, he felt sure that
the plan adopted for the relief oi these
unfortunate men was not the best to
ifcsure success. I doubt, therefore,
if the amnesty or pardon asked for
in behalf of those who have already
been sentenced (someone hundred
and forty more) will be granted; but
I do antieipaee that the President
will authorize some plan of relief, by
local action of the Federal officials
here, for those offenders who have
not yet been tried and sentenced.
Atlanta Journalism-
The editor of the La Grange Re
porter does not think that Atlanta
offers a very inviting field for jour
nalists, and somewhat tartly remarks
that if there is a competent and con
scientious printer in Atlanta who is
anxious to do something glorious he
should get together all the second
hand material in that city and turn
it into “hopeless pi.” He adds:
“If a genuine, first-class journalist
would start a daily in Atlanta he
would have a very hard time, but
might succeed. But as long as the
papers are managed by doctors,
grangers, dismantled preachers, etc.,
they are sure to fail. There is a
prevalent opinion that any man who
can string sentence} together can edit
a paper; and that any man can man
age the finances. The history of
journalism in Atlanta proves the
contrary; but doubtless there are
dozens of men left in that city who
are anxious to add to the pile of
proof already accumulated.
“The black population,” says the
Cave Spring J?nTerprfse , "seem to
recognize the stringency of the times,
and are accommodating themselves
to the situation of things. They
work more willingly, more cheerful
ly and economize time better than
they have ever done since they were
set free. As most of them are with
out supplies, they seem to recognize
their dependence upon those who are
able to furnish them the means of
living. Those who are able to run
themselves, as well as those depend
ant for supplies, all seem to be man
ageable, and conform to the rules and
regulations of proprietors and exhib
it commendable signs of thrift and
industry which are the sure fore-run
ners of success.
Health of Hon. A. 11. Ste
phens. The latest report from
Hon. A. H. Stephens, received here
last night, states that he is still quite
feeble. I>r. Steiner was called from
Augusta to see him a few days ago
but did not find any symptoms of an
alarming character. As tiie weather
grows milder the distinguished
statesman will no doubt begin to im
prove, and Dr. S. feels confident that
he will again be about in his usual
health, That this precediction may
be fully realized, and the country be
spared of the “Sage of Liberty Hall”,
is the earnest prayer of thousands
of southern hearts. —Atlanta Constitu
tion of Tuesday.

The Radicals in Council.
The Radical offi.-.als of the State,
with a few of the “outs,” have just
ended their annual conference here,
a.id will to-night return to their
homes to set the ball in motion for a
lively campaign this Fall. It was
decided to hold a State Republican
Convention in Macon on the 3d day
of May if a suitable room can be se
cured, at which a “straight-out”
Radical ticket will be put in the
field, and a strong fight inaugurated
to restore their party to power again
in Georgia. It is rumored that Ex-
Provisional Governor James Johnson
of Columbus, who is said to be an
independent candidate, will be nom
inated for Governor, as he has con
siderable strength already centred
upon himself, and this will be the
easiest way to get rid of him. One
thing sure, what ever else may seem
doubtful, the “bloody shirt” is
waiving in Washington over lying
“outrage” reports from this B*tate,
and the Democrats may as well arouse
themselves to the danger ahead.
Eternal vigilance is the price of con
stitutional liberty in Georgia, and
every true patriot must do his duty
fully and promptly in this campaign.
