SHERMAN’S SPRING.
Saturday’s Merry-Making at this Delight
ful Resort.
On Saturday last at 10 a. m. the
old “Nickajack,” of the Van Wert
road, steamed out of Cartersville
freighted with a goodly number of
the fairest bejjes and noblest beaux
with a slight sprinkling of married
folks. After a short ride the Spring
was reached without accident, and
all proceeded to enter into such
sports and amusements as they chose.
At an appropriate hour the ladies
began to prepare for that crowning
characteristic of a w ell-regulated pic
nic, viz: dinner. Yellow-leg chicken,
with a pie accompaniment, meats of
all kinds, strawberries, cakes and all
:he et ceteras usually found on such
occasions went glimmering. It w r as
unanimously voted that little Jodie
Moon, could envelop himself on the
outside of just a little more commis
saries than anyone else on the ground.
His title to the championship, how
ever, was bravely contested by our
young Esculapian friend Dr. Lindsey
Johnson, who corralled a most un
warrantable supply of provender.
Having eaten to heart’s content,
the party, upon invitation, repaired
to “Etowah Heights,” the splendid
residence of Capt. Shelman, where
they engaged in dancing, music and
conversation, until warned by the
shrieking whistle of the “Nickajack”
liiot ifc was time to be going.
Capt, Shelman and family, with
their characteristic hospitality, left
nothing undone that would conduce
to the happiness and enjoyment of
the humblest personage of the party,
for which we know every one de-'
parted with a heart-full of gratitude
towards them.
Sanford Vanaivere and Tom Rob
erts. presiding geniuses of the “Niek
ajaek,” also deserve thanks for cour
tesies.

KINGSTON.
Matter* and Things Vigorously Noted toy
a Special Corresponaent.
The farmers are saving their wheat
crop, but wheat does not promise to
yield much; in fact, it is Jpoor around
here. Corn and cotton are looking
well; but need work as the late
rains have thrown the farmers back
considerably, but if we catr have a
week of good w eather woe to the
grass in the cotton patches and corn
fields.
Kingston is unusually dull, and if
it was not for Squire Burroughs
court and the Cartersville lawyers, I
don’t know what would become of us
all. TheSquir held his court two
days last week,Friday and Staturday.
Can Judge Jolly beat this?
Miss Mary Singleton closed her
school on last Friday. She is one of
the best teachers that has ever taugh t
here, and ad the patrons of her
school would be glad to send their
children to her another term if she
would only say that she would
teach.
The pupils of the Kingston Acad
emy gave a party at the breaking up
of the school and there were more
pretty young ladies out than it has
been my good fortune to see in a
many a day, Kingston is a place that
can compete with any place ior pret
ty girts, now I don’t say this because
I live here but because it is a fact,
and IT you don’t believe it just ask
the Cartersville boys, or come and
see for yourself.
I wonder what has become of that
young man from Cartersville? I fear
he must be sick, or some terrible ca
lamity has befallen him or surely we
would have seen something of him
up this way.

Passing Events Laconically Related by a

A Elower that Changes its Color.
Botany is a division of natural sci
ence which treats of plants, and a
study of Vegetable Phisiology must
be the foundation of botanical
knowledge—a study only possible by
the improvements in the microscope
and in organic chemistry. As plants
are not scattered haphazard over the
earth, botanical geography must be
studied, and, with this, plant-history.
Botany may be applied to the wants
of every-day life, as in Agriculture
Horticulture, or Medical Botany,
Animals often exhibit a marvelous
instinct in selecting medicinal herbs,
and an observation of their habits
has often even in the present time,
led to most valuable discoveries.
And should man, with his knowl
edge and appliances, fail to discover
less than the Drute? It is of Medi
cal Botany we would speak, or of tha
HEPATINE PLANT, discovered in
Southern Nubia, the flower of which
changes its color with every change
of tne atmosphere The ’’emsrkaLle
changes and variations of this Plant
and Flower have been for years our
special study, resulting in the discov
ery of its possession of wonderful
medical the existence and
entirely unknown to medical science.
After much labor and scientific inves
tigation, we have succeeded in ex
tracting its peculiar medicinal prin
ciples, which is a specific and cure for
all diseases of the Liver, Stomach,
and Bowels; a permanent cure for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Spleen, Con
stipation, Jaundice, and all Bilious
Complaint?. Qf course ive cannot
send a living Flower of this Plant to
all w ho read of Hepatine; but to all
who will send their address to Mer
rell & Coudon, Philadelphia, Pa y
with a three cent stamp for return
postage, we will send free a fac-simi
le of the Flower, that will change its
color just the same as the real Hepa
tine Flower.

The Voice of Wilkes.
It is stated that Hon. H. V. John
son would accept the nomination for
Governor If tendered to him. We
have always been of the opinion
that he would do so. Mr. Johnson
belongs to the old school of upright
and pure politicians, who believe in
the office seeking the man and not
in the man seeking the office. He
does not think it becoming to go
oyer the State and stump it for a
nomination, but that it is time
enough t*o exert himself in that way
after the people have put him for
ward as their standard bearer. Mr.
Johnson would make a most excel
lent Governor, and our people should
not forget the services of those who
have given their lives to their coun
try. We do not deem it proper to
advocate the claims of any one for
the office of Governor until after the
nominal s on by the party. We will
willingly give our support to that
nominee; but we think it right and
proper that the press should make
the fact known that Mr. Johnson, if
nominated, would not decline to
accept. He is not seeking the nom
ination and has so stated, but has not
said he would not serve as Governor
of Georgia if the people see fit to
elect him.— Washington Gazette.

morning and effected a temporary
organization. The Second and Fourth
District Convention elected Tilden
delegates to the St. Louis Conven
tion to-day.
New York, June 13.—A Cincin
nati special to the Commercial says:
It is said Robert Ingersoll, of Peoria,
Illinois, will nominate Blaine in the
convention. He is a fine speaker,
and will do it effectively. Gov.
Woodford, of New York, will do the
same favor for Conkling,
ironuK.
lo the Editor of The Express:
In your issue of the Ist inst., there
is an article in reference to the dis
cussion between the Ludville and
Fairmount societies, which took
place the 20th ult. The writer of
this wishes to correct the false im
pression intended to be made by the
writer of that article.
The Fairmount society had dis
cussed the subject publicly one month
before they challenged the members
of the Ludville society, and then
only gave them ten days to prepare,
but the Ludville debaters rallied
their forces— studied the subject
thorougly—rode down to the little
village of Farmount—gave them a
genteel fanning out—mounted their
horses and rode quietly and peacably
up the majestic mountain to their
homes crowned with the honor of
the day. But Mr. “Fair Hack”
seems to be dissatistied with the de
cision of the judges. He says the
“committee selected to render a de
cision was composed of three.” This
is correct. The Ludville society se
lected onejudge and the Fairmount
society one, and both societies
elected Capt. Dyer to give the casting
vote, provided the two presidents
couldn’t agree. But they did not
need the captain’s decision, and it
was not given at last, publicly.
“Fair Hack,” you must have been
sorely hacked when you saw your
own regular president have magna
nimity and honesty enough to give
the Ludville society justice. In the
phrase “an unsophisticated farmer
and blacksmith,” you must have
meant two persons, but the language
means one. If you meant one, why
did you not give us a description of
the third moderator ? 'You say the
president of the Ludville society is
“unsophisticated” and at the same
time accuse him of using chicanery
to chisel you out of the decision.
This looksja little inconsistent. If he
is “unsophisticated,” why do you
cavil? Is your president uncapahle
of giving a correct decision because
he is a blacksmith ? If so, why
did you have him to preside over
your meetings all the year ? Did you
not say in the presence of two of the
Ludville members about ten days be
fore the discussion that you had a
president would “stick” to you as long
as there was any possible chance” ?
Some time expired before you were
able to discover that your president
was incompetent to render correct
decisions. Did you know that the
man whom you are pleased to call
“unsophisticated farmer” is an edu
cated man ? Is it necessary for him
to be biased and incompetent simply
because he is a farmer ? Is your “ed
ucated committee man” the only
man that is capable of rendering a
correct decision? He is undoubtedly a
tine scholar and a gentleman; and
the Fairmount society would do well
to influence him to join t> e m. But
you say “by some “hocus pocus ar
rangement unknown” to you he
“was left in the cold.” May the sun
with its scorching rays thaw him
during July and August.
In conclusion the writer of this
would say the Fairmount debaters
did well, and hope they will continue
to improve Mr. “Fair Hack,” when
ever you calmly reflect upon the ar
guments produced by the Ludville
members, you will come to the con
clusion that they hacked you up fair
ly. Hannibal.

THE EXPRESS,
TTNDER the present mnrpytnr*!. t, s fas>
growing into popularity a* ts rapid!
iucreasing circulation fully attests: and ift x
present ratio of increase continues, it will stor.
have the largest circulation of any weekly
paper in the State. Coming to Cartersville
under somewhat adverse circumstances, with
false impressions made in advance of his
coming, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateful obligations
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make ita'power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
traff tor me promotion #rme cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
The Exp tchh
YY'ill ever be found the true and unflinchin
friend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
ters. It will be the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment upon all public ques
tions, when that sentiment is true to free gov
ernment and public liberty.
Tlie Express,
however, wilt oppose all attempts to pervert
the true principles of the Democratic party,
and seek to inculcate at all times and under
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which underlie and io.ti the basis
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy,
The Express
Will be found ‘“now and forever,” a Demo
cratic journal of “the straightest sect” without
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
—believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, and the prosperity of this country de
pend upon a restoration of the old landmarks
of our lathers—a return to first principles,
alone can retain to us free government,and an
honest administration of the political affairs ot
the country.
The Express
will never omit any occasion to set forth the
great advantages of Cherokee Georgia. Its
aim will be to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, favored a 5 it i.-, with a climate, the
finest in the world, with a soil unsurpassed,
and with agricultural and mineral resources
unequaled—inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, iotelligent and worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of wealth, and to
make Cherokee Georgia thejgarden spot ot
the country will be among the chief efforts of
this journal.
The Express,
therefore, appeals to an honest and discrimi
nating public for that patronage which shall
place it in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of Bar
tow county. Rapidly overcoming the false
and inlamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to be, or is to be, or is the or
gan of a ring—an imposition on general intel
ligence--
The Express
will be found in the end a journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free and honest paper that will rest its
prosperity upon its own merits, and will nertr
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thy* or by efforts to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor upon the ground
of merit, tne sooner it becomes ex' inct the
better it will be for the popular good • There
fore all who are willing to trnst an honest pur
pose and effort to present a respectable jour
nal, true in it:, Democracy, true to the peopl
and trne to right and justice, are respectfully
solicited to become subscribers to The Car
TEUBYILLE EXPRESS.
