The number of gay maskers was

elegant, the music entrancing and
the smiles of the brilliant array of
Georgia beauties perfectly ravishing.

A P!c:smint Evening sit Cassville,
It was our good fortune to be pres
ent at Uassvilie on the night of the
dth inst at a very pleasant little
moonlight party of young and old
people. The Cartersviiie brass band
was also on hand to discern so sweet
music, in which of course added
much to the pica sure of the evening.
'Lu; boys always make good music
and ou this owning they excelled •
themselves. There was still several
other young gentlemen from our
town, who seemed to enjoy thern
. ives to their heart’s content. The
songs and music of Messrs. Harwell,
Patiilu and Marshall, of Cartersviiie,
were well rend red. The music and
singing of Miss Land, of Cassville,
was xm- rrro+rt ivmtirt* of tire evening,
or your correspondent was more ta
ken with if. Miss S. L. especially
has the thanks of the party and my
self io particular for her music on the
guitar.
Mrs. Ciiunn and Mrs. Land were
untiring in their efforts to make the
whole party themselves. Long will
we remember this evening spent so
pleasantly and hope ere many weeks
or months at the outside are past
that it v. iii repeated and we can safe
ly say that all of the Cratersville del
egation will return, andLonie of them
your correspondent among the num
ber, will return any way for they
lost their hearts there.

An Evening In llie Country.
It was our pleasure to attend a few
evenings since, a meeting of a social
club held at the residence of our val
ued citizen. Dr. Le.amh This club
was organized a few months ago by
the young people of that immediate
neighborhood, and with its increased
membership it is now considered a
permanent organization of that local
ity. The exercises consisted of vocal
and instrumental music, reading,
recitations, etc., and every one en
joyed it with that pleasure and gusto
so characteristic of young people on
such occasions. Success to you,
young ladies and gents,and may you
enjoy many more like occasions.
Something of a Wonder.

Allow me to call your attention to
a feet. Within the past two years
th • officers of the Method? t, Baptist
and Presbyterian churches, in this
city, have lit erally supplied the seats
in each church with hymn books?
They were a pleasure, particularly
to those who love to engage in the
singing of j -altrs, hymns and spiriG
u and songs, making melody in their
h arts with ihe Lord, One by one
these books have gradually disap
app arc 1, until now, in each church,
there L a beggarly array of empty
b 'liciu. ’?. Why is this? Where have
they gone to? The questions are
easily answered. Thoughtlessness on
t!i part of parents and children is
the cause of the loss. Without
thought, on leaving church, the book
Gk( j ! in tiie hand, eairl. and home,
and with the remark, “Therl have
brought home one of the hymn
books,” is laid away with the inten
tion.of taking it back “next Sunday,”
is forgotten and never returned.
The same may apply to the Sab
bath school singing books. I stopped
in to hear tiie delightful singing at
the Prcsnyteriau church G~t Sab
bath, and one of the officers said that
out of the twenty five books bought
some four months* since only ten
were in the house.
This is a state of affairs easily
remeukd in this way: Let every
housekeeper in the city who reads
this at once look up, lay aside and
carry back all the hymn no k~, song
books and Sunday school library
books, belonging to ihe several
churches, and my word for it there
will be books enough for the great
congregations, the singing class and
tbe Sabbath schools.
Then, too, you might carry the
search a little farther, and in nearly
every household will be found
more or less nooks which you did
not purchase, nor were given to you,
but which were borrowed from
your friends.
Turn over anew leaf, fellow-citi
zens, as “Uncle Ohediah Olebuck
says,” and let us this centennial year
witness a general search through
your libraries, and the return of such
books as you have not a legal right
to. Sigma.
nc!t MolEiml, of Atlanta.
Atlanta is becoming famous for her
manfactories, and her citizens take
more pride and interest in them now
than ever before. The famous candy
and cracker factory of Jack & Hol
land is more extensive, and is doing
a larger business than even the peo
ple of Atlanta are aware of, and
those of our citizens who have never
been in it, should go through the va
rious departments. By the. courtesy
of Mr. Jack, we look’d through his
house this morning from the sale
room, ou the fi st floor, to the pack
ing room in the fifth story, and were
agreeably surprised at the Immense
bufimss done by this wide awake
and wed known establishment. Ev
ery Variety of candy, cake and bread
are made daily in such quantities ns
would surprise any one who have
not seen the work. They are doing
a;i immense wholesale business, sup
plying the towns along the several
lines of railway leading from the
city for hundreds of miles, as well
as in the adjoining States. Their re
tail trade employs a dozen active
eierks, and there is no mart
of trade and industry within the con
fines of the Gate City. They were
the first to put soda water down to
five cents a glass, and one can get a
saucer office cream for 10 cents that
would cost 2o cents in other times. A
look through through this establish
ment will pay for the time occupied.

Next to the approaching election
the advent of the circus engineered
by this old favorite, is uppermost in
the minds of the people. Old John
has for many years made his annual
trips among us, and as cordial wel
come awaits him this time as did his
first visit. Read what the Cincinnati
Coim.nn'ciat has to say about his
present circus:
The menagerie this year Is certain
ly riclv. r in attractive novelties than
ever before—including a splendid
male giraffe that cost over M O,OOO ; a

four tons, the largest nttimai of its

tu.-ked monsters ; a zebra, remarka

•striping; a gigantic ostrich; bulks
from Burmah, and hump-backed
yaks from the steppes of Tartary;
haribeests and elands; families of
African and Asiatic lions with
whelps; corpse-devouring hyenas
and beautiful spotted leopards; herds
of Indian elephants and caravans of
Arabian camels; a eabiabara , a wild
wart-hog from the African jungles;
and, most curious of all, a lively uni
corn, in all respects the very realiza
tion of the one-horned monster spo

these attractive studies in Natural
History, the audience may enjoy the
spectacle of such gymnasticand eques

We present this week a large ad
vertisement of the above named old
reliable company. It is as perfectly
reliable as any company to be found
in the catalogue. Here is what the
Now York Insurance Chronicle has to
say about it:
The Mobile Life Insurance Compa
ny, of Mobile, Ala., has always been
carefully managed and successtul be
yond the average of Southern life
companies. Its securities are of the
best quality ; its plans among (lie
most approved and popular ; its offi
cers men of character, ability, and
; conscientious devotion to their work.
We are pleased, therefore, to note
the growing prosperity of the com
pany. Last year it issued 2,003 poli
; cies, more than many other Southern
company. Its premium receipts
were over 8300,000, and its net assets
were increased $174,000. The mor
tality for the year was exceedingly
favorable,

sional District, a convention of tle’e- 1
Elites from t!ie counties eomposiiur ;

On motion of Dr. Lelati<l,of Bartow,
Col. Warren Aiken, of Bo i -'.v. w -
called to the chair, and J. Hix Ba- ,'
Judge D. M.liood and B. F. Sawyer
were i\ quested to act as secretaries.
On motion of Dr Lolartd, of Bar
tow, the delegates were requested to
come ihrwuvd and enroll tiieir names,
whereupon the following delegates
Bartow —S. W. Behind, Warren
Aiken, AT. J. Cra\ ford, T. F. Jones,
J. L. Neal and A. A. Vincent.
Chattooga—W. fi. Penn, W. Wy
att, C. S. Weathers uud C. C. Cleg

Fioyd—Green Ce.nuingliam, Dr.
W. Boyd, AI. A. Kevin and T. Mc-
Ou motion of Dr. Leland it was
ri - dved that in Uie matter of repre
sentation each cmfnty should be en
titled to the same number of votes
m the convention.
In the matter at i-sue between the
e unties of Chattooga and Fioyd, re
iative to the senatorial succession, on
motion of Dr. Leland, each county
> ; requested to lay its claim, togeth
er with the evidence relied upon to
ii ; u these claims, before the con
vention.
On motion of Mr. Neal, of Bartow,
the regular order of business was .-.us
pended, for the purpose of inti idu
cing the following lcsoiution :
.A’' so're-1. idiai we wik support the
nominee of this convention, and as
the candidates from buth Chattooga j
and Floyd are botii present, that they
be requested to state whether or not i
they will abide the action of this
convention.
Both candidates answered, pledg
ing their acquiescence in the action
of the convention.
The regular business was resumed,
and U. C. Cleghorn, on the part of
Chattooga, proceeded to state the
claims of that county for the Sena-
He said that Chattooga demanded
the succession because she had never
had a Senator under the rotation sys
tem. AJLaj. Burns, who had been ac
credited to Chattooga in 18dS, was
not a citizen of Chattooga, and that
his nomination had been forced upon
them by an iliega; or premature con
vention, held in Home, in which the
county had no legal representation.
Touching the citizenship of Maj.
Burns, lie then introduced aifidavits
from Messrs. Wyatt, Moss, et. ah,
wherein it was affirmed that in 186S,
at the general election in Summer
ville, Maj. Burns declined to vote for
31 r. Wyatt because he, Burns, was
not a citizen of that county.
Air. M, A. Neviu, on the part of
Floyd county, made a counter state
ment, and submitted the proceedings
of the nominating convention in
18-kB, wherein the succession was ex
pressly conceded to Chattooga coun
ty, and that the Chattooga delegation
after private consultation presented
the name of John T. Burns, of Chat
tooga county, as their choice for the
position, which choice was ratified by
tile convention, ile also read the
• eUer of new; fa nee written by Maj.
Burns, winch letter was dated Chat
i fooga county. He also read a state
ment from Col. T. W. Alexander,
j stating that Burns told him that he
j was a citizen of Chattooga county,
and that he did vote in file county of
| Chattooga in the election of 1863.
After hearing the evidence, on mo
tion of Dr. Leland, the delegates of
Bartow retired, and after a tew mo
ments’ consultation, returned and
! submitted the following resolution
which was adopted :
Resolved, That this convention,
j without deciding the. question as to
| the citizenship of Hon. J. T. Burns
j at the time of his election to the Sen
-1 ate of Georgia,-do consider and de
cide that, as a matter of right. Chat
tooga county is entitled to the Sena
tor for the ensuing term.
Nominasions bring in order, Air.
C. C. Cleghorn presented the name
! of J. G. Gamble, of Chattooga, who
; was nominated by acclamation.
Mr. N. A. Neviu moved that the
rotation system be abolished forever.
On motion of Air. Crawford, of
Bartow, the motion was laid on the
table.
Air. Jones, of Bartow, introduced
the following resolutions:
J. lie-solved, That it is the sense of
this convention that the rotation sys
tem he maintained.
2. That Floyd county is entitled to
the Senator next after Chattooga,
and this convention does pledge it-
I self to support her nomination.
Adopted.
Air. Crawford, of Bartow, introdu
ced the following resolution, which
was adopted:

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
A Strong Plea for Democratic Harmony
in the Congressional It ace.
Seventeenth District, ]
Bartow County, Ga.,
September 11th, 1870. j
r lo the Editor oj ike Express:
The Democracy of Bartow have
reason to congratulate themselves
that they have a sound exponent of
pure Democratic principles in their
own county paper; and I, at least,
congratulate you on the bold and
fearless stand which you have taken
in the present political crisis. The
purity of your intentions cannot be
doubted; the truthfulness of your as
sertions must be respected, however
bitter the pill to the palates of the
discontented.
The condition of political affairs in
the Seventh Congressional District is
to be deprecated by every honest
voter in the land; fox we must ail
admit thai dftrk political danger is
before us; the disruption iu Demo
cratic ranks buzzards u great cause,
jeopardises the party and places Re
publicanism here in the ascendancy.
Would that the people would open
their eyes to the condition of affairs,
and with a gentle lift remove the
trouble. The reasons are plain; the
remedy is easy.
If there was ever a time when the
Southern people suffered under po
litical oppression it is now; if there
was ever a time when the safety of
our country demanded unity of ac
tiou on the part of the people it is
now; if there was ever a time when
Democratic strength was needed to
overthrow Radical wrong it is now;
and no argument is needed to con
vince the people of these startling
facts.
1 hr fih-inls of Dr. F-lton appear
in the role 'if man worshippers.
They support him by virtue of their
love for the man, and really seem to
be blinded to a sense of their duty to
the Democratic party in this ardent
admiration of a man. The cry of
political trickery in primary meet
ings, of “down with the party lash M
is a subterfuge too weak in this
! emergency. Trickery in primary
meetings is born of negligence on the
part of the people. The harkings of
cross-road politicians cannot prevail
against the voice of the people, and
when they are left to control legiti
mate affairs, while it is the duty of
the people, the people have no cause
to grumble at their action. I only
refer to this matter because it is the
only reason that was brought for
ward iu opposition to Col. Dabney
two years ago. Now there is no
weapon with which to wage the war
except “love of the man.”
Dr. Felton is ambitious; he lias
t; strd the sweets of Congressional
iife, gloried in his ability to do, and
will try again if he sacrifices himself
• and the Democratic party in the glo
rious attempt. The ardor of this am
bition has blinded him to a sense of
his duty to his country and carried
him far beyond the rubieon of pro
priety and consistency. He is not the
choice of the Democracy of the sev
enth; nor do we believe his friends
believe be. They commit
themselves this point in accusing
the organized Democracy of bring
ing out opposition from the Radical
1 camp. The candidacy* of Win.
Goodwin is credited to the Demo
cratic party by the followers of Dr.
Felton. In this they admit that in
the taking away of the Radical
' strength Col. Dabney is strengthened,
; How plain this seems.
It is not the purpose of the writer
to detract one iota from the worth of
Dr. Felton as a man. He is a popu
lar and worthy gentleman, but Inis
! proven himself a disorganizing qcli
tician, and is not a safe leader of the
people. Col. Dabney, our Demo
j eratie nominee, is the peer of any
| man in the District in point of hon
j esty, integrity of purpose, individual
capacity and ability, and no man in
the district can say aught against him
as a fit leader of true and tried De
mocracy. Democrat.
Question# for Every one to Answer.
Are you troubled with indigestion,
Constipation of (lie Bowels, Dyspep
pepsiaorany disease of the Liver?
Have you suffered for years and
found no relief from the use of med
icines? Do you have a faint appe
tite, and are yon troubled with feel
i ings of languor? If you have these
| feelings we know you have not tried
; the new discovery AIERRELL’S
HEPATINE, at David W. Curry’s
Drug Store. It is performing won
derful cures in this and all other
communities where the people use it.
It is pronounced hyall the best Liver
Aledieine in the world. Two doses
will relieve the worst ease of Dyspep
sia or Constipation of the Bowels.
Each bottle contains fifty doses, and
a teaspoonful of this medicine in a
wineglassful of water three times a
day, produces a most wonderful
change. W here the system is run
down with loss of energy and appe
tite, or Dyspepsia, with all its train
of evil, is effecting its deadly work,
this remedy, Meruell’s Hepatine,
never fails to bring about a speedy
and permanent cure. Those who
doubt the merit and virtues of this
medicine and live from day to day
without trying the Hepatine, have
: our sympathy, hut can not be cured
unless tney take the Medicine.
