Several beautiful, accomplished and fa -chinting young ladies are visi ting Cartciwille, but as the young gentlemen hereabouts will not hand in their names, Ibis reporter is w ith out the means whereby to give pub licity to these interesting events. We return thanks to the Calhoun Times, Maricttt Journal, Savannah News, Rome Courier, Memphis Ap peal and the Atlanta Constitution, for recent favorable mention. Thanks gentlemen, and yours to command. Judge Lester will speak at Corbiu dale, six miles South of Dalton, on the 24th (Saturday) of this month. A barbecue will be one of the feat ures of the occasion. Let everybody turn out on that day and hear the one-armed hero. Pump, lago, Pumps! The turning of these well cranks makes so much noise they interfere with the practice of the brass band. The screech of the windlass can be heard further than the blasts from the horns. Let us Jiave pumps, or grease, or both. Our people should immediately j egin a war of extermination against the Canada thistle, which is getting a strc' n -K foothold iu Cartersville. We see n different portions of t..\vn on th ** edges of sidewalks and guUe’rs, mosL>ou the East side of the railroad. wj'hope the town au thorities will see to H, that it is ex terminated from ou'X streets, and from every nook and co vner where it is found. It D giving th® people in some of the Northern States great trouble. On Tnurstlay last, at Mcßey’s sta tion on the VV. & A. R* R- hbout twelve miles from Atlanta, 3fr.

He was buried by the I. O. lied Men, of which organization lie was an honored member Dalton and Vicinity. Mr. Thog. P. Hanbury Is our local reporter for Dillon and Vicinity and is our sole agent to solicit subscription and advertisments and j receipt for the same in Whitfield County. Fine rains last week. Good corn weather, this. Hot weather still prevails. Watermelons are in abundance. Mr. Clea Trevitt, of Rome, is in our city on a visit, recruperating his health* The Greenback Club now numbers about 100 members—all of whom should read the leading editorial in this weeks Express. Mr. W. J. Ford went to Macon last week as a delegate to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. The two story brick beef market of Messrs. Davis & Miller is rapidly nearing completion. Six illicit distillers passed through here last week under guard, en route to Atlanta, where they will await trial. We call attention to several com munications from Whitfield county, which appear on our first page, this week. On last Tuesday night an altercation occurred between two negroes ; one of whom cut the other quite severely in the head with an axe. Two arrests have been made to date. One of the Knights of Blackstone, we understand, has been bound over the grand jury for several serious to offences. Cotton is opening fast in this coun ty* Fodder pulling will soon begin. Don’t lorget to sow your turnip seed this month. The recent good rains are having a splendid effect on the crops in this section. Crawford High school opened last Monday with quite a large number of pupils. Sosn the wide-awake anil thrifty farmer will bo plowing down his wheat stubble. Business with our merchants is steadily increasing* The vault for the Whitfield county Treasury ariveil last week. The mill at Dalton turns out 200 barrels of flour a day. Oats are selling at SI.OO per 100 bun dles in this market, and clover at 80c per 100 lbs; At these figures a man can afford to keep a horse sleek and fat—that is if he owns one. A wasps nest contains 1-1,000 cells, says one of our young men, who un expectedly ran into one. Don’t politics simmer and bubble, though ? Wanted in Dalton.—A society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The excellent public health of Dal ton this season is the subject of gener al remark. Considering the warm weather, we have been exceptionally free from all serious sickness. lion. Geo. N. Lester addressed the citizens of Walker county during court, last week. Somebody predicts frost in Georaia in six weeks. Whether his predic tion is verified or not he is a kind hearted man, and a genuine philan thropist. The report reaches us by a private source that two cases of yellow fever nave occurred at Chattanooga. The beauty and elite of Dalton nightly regale themselves at W. 11. Davis’ ice cream saloon. And particularly don’t forget that the Express (Enterprise) has the largest circulation in Dalton and Whitfield county of any paper pub lished in the State. Mr. T. E. Hanbury, editor of the Express, returns his most grateful acknowledgements for a basket of splendid peaches sent to him by a lady friend in Dalton, last week. The circulation of the Express is j constantly growing in Dalton and Whitfield county—not less than forty : new names were added to our books j in one day last week. The people are | showing that they appreciate a good, cheap, and ably conducted paper. Miss Linka Loveman has returned from a visit to Atlanta, where she spent several weeks. She was great ly admired, not oidy on acoount of her fine musical talent, but for her many other accomplish meats. Miss Ilattie Smith, one of Carters ville’s most charming daughters, is visiting Miss Katie Carter. The Dalton Female College will open Monday week, hence the“Nick leits” are not happy, and in conse quence the “Xiekle Club” will meet tri-weekly—“make hay while the sun shines” is their motto. Our Hotels arc doing a thriving business, being pretty well filled up with summer visitors, from down the country. We were glad to note the presence of Messrs. Fischer and Jackson, of Chattanooga, in our city on Sunday. They are both prominent young men and former residents of this place, where they have many warm friends. One of our society young gents is said to have remained iu his room all day Sunday, nursing a very beau tiful boquet of flowers, received from a neighboring city. Miss Mary Morris left Sunday for Chattanooga, where she will spend some time with her relations, and from thence to Louisville where she will spend the winter. Mr. W. W. Scott, late Foreman of the Dalton Enterprise, left Monday evening to take work on the Sparta Times and Planter. Attention is directed to the adver tisement of Mr. Davis, who has bought out the stock of W. S. Mur ray, and who will carry on the busi ness at the old stand under the En terprise office. Mr. E: Q. Smith will do business with him and we bespeak for these gentlemen a full share of pat ronage. Please read their advertise ment. The entertainment given for the purpose of raising funds to erect a parsonage for the M. E. Church of Dalton was an enterprise instituted by Mrs. S. M. Carter, a lady of singu lar energy in such matters. This la . dy and her assistants deserve great credit for the able rnanagementof the entertainment which was a success in every particular. Through their no ble exertions $75 has already been raised and we understand the man agement contemplate repeating it |at an early dale in our sister city, ; Home. Col. Johnson, of the Constitution, paid our city a flying visit last week. It always does the heart good to get so much as a glimps at his healthy, good looking phiz. Mr. Archie Smith of our city, while filling a lamp the other evening held it too near a candle that he was filling it by, when it instantly exploded singing his hair and burning his arm severely. Another one of the fruits of filling lamps after dark. Mr* J. L. Smith, and family are visiting their friends in Charleston, Tenn. Hon. W. 11. Felton delivered an address at Corbin Dale six miles south of Dalton last Saturday. Dalton, Ga., Aug. 20,1878. Editors Express:— On Tuesday last we missed our (your) Enterprise which we have loved to read for the last five years, but to our great joy on Thursday the Express came to hand all right looking as bright as a new pin, bearing all the marks, vim and newsiness, which heretofore char acterized the Enterprise, only as the fellow said, more so. Well, crowds < f us stood around the post-office unt 1 about eight hundred of them were distributed, and then, as each man received the cousin of his old love you may believe there were lots of reading and showers of compliments paid the paper. To be sure, it is all right. Long may it flourish. We will look for you back after the elec tion and then we will give you a rousing welcome. I was at quite a large gathering at Gordon Springs a few day ago. Some GO voters were on hand —40 for Lester —ls for Felton —5 not decideik On yesterday at Corbin Dale —15 liters present—3o for Lester —12 for Felton. We will have a big barbacue at the Cove on next Saturday when our George will give us a talk. Can’t you come up and see yourself. Lester will carry this county by an increas ed majority over Dabney and Murray will do the same. I have traveled over these counties and know. Our noble Trammell still survives the attacks of Bill Arp, Jr.—docs not look a day older—has not lost one moments sleep. I did not know that Trammell was running for Congress —thought Lester was. I consider Trammell one the best men in Georgia, a noble, liigh-toned gentleman and a good Democrat. Bi'l Arp of your county stands high in Whitfield. We believe Bartow ought this time to giveaway to Cobb, but next time we will go for Bill Arp and give him a big vote. Give Bill my respects. He stands high with my “better half” who likes his style of getting things up. Whitfield, COMI’LIM KNTAItY* Dalton, Ga., July 20,1878. Editors Express :—Permit me in behalf of your old readers in this county, to congratulate you on the splendid appearance of the Express, which for the time being takes place of the Enterprise. It came to hand in strong colony on Thursday, and as it took the Postmaster and assistant one hour and a half to distribute, may be, he knows you have the larg est circulation in this county of any paper published in the State —a sig nificant fact for those who wish to reach the masses of Whitfield and ad joining counties. “The paper is No. 1.” “Isn’t it splendid and newsy?’ “What a splendid paper it is,” and such expressions of approval weie heard on all sides. To make the matter short it fills the bill exact ly. I heard numbers say they would subscribe for it at once. Whitfield is all right for Lester. The camp-fires are burning all along the line. There are very few in the city for Felton, though he is pretty strong in the county. This county will doubtless give Lester 400 major ity, at least this is the smallest calcu lation I have heard made by the Les ter men. Murray will give more. Keep firm, make a good paper, and your old friends will we’coino you back after “Our George” is elected in November. Hastily, Constant Reader. The distressing news reaches us that after the government tei ti and rations had been sent by the govern ment to tiie Memphis yellow fever sufferers, that the pitching of the touts was resisted by a large force ot whites and negroes who bail mass ed outside the city*, and who would not permit the tents to be raised, whereupon, two inillita y companies were ordered out to disperse this unholy assemblage. We trust that if they do not give way at once that the order will be sounded to give them the bayonet, grape and cannis ter, and a plenty of it. They cer tainly* deserve shot and shell, and that quickly. Certainly, this gross unhuinanity in such a distressing time deserves the severest censure and the promptest treatment. The Cherokee Georgian, tin advo cate of Dr. Felton say*s : It would have been sheer nonsense for Dr. Felton to have introduced a bill to reduce the salaries of Congressmi n knowing as he did the bill would be defeated. Now, we would like for tl.e Geor gian to tell us if every Congressmen pursued this policy how are we ever to get the yeas aud nays on this im poriant questior and should this poli cy continue, won’t Dr. Felton and all the balance of the members continue to draw their enormous salaries while the people suffer? Geo. N. LesUr is not on that line for he promises to introduce such a bill though the heavens fall and the nays will be re corded and the people will know who to vote against at the next election. Voters of the 7th District, don’t you see the difference ? Bo warned in time. Hon. Alex. Stephens has been nominated in the Bth District by* the Democrats almost unanimously. Seme time since he said he would “stand for re-election,” and fearing that some tricksters would seek to defeat the will of the Democracy* he showed fight,or rather got his feathers ruffled a little by it. However, like a dutiful son, he again placed him self in line, and for his fidelity to his party he has received the nomina tion, and now urges that the people put down divisions, and that they stand by the old party. Iu his speech of July lGth, prior tothe nomination, he said: “I am in favor of conven tions and nominations. Let us put down divisions.” Let the people of District heed his warning voice. THE CAUSTIC APPLIED. Felton's First Two Campaigns in Hie I Seventh. Seventh District, ( Aug. IG, 1878. j Editors Constitution: Refer ring to my communication publish ed in your iisue of last Sunday, I de sire on the present occasion to call the attention of the voters of this i congression district to some other phases of the contest now being waged by Dr. Felton and Judge Lester. These gentlemen are fast verging on to sixty years of age. They are men of excellenct character, of mark ed abilities, and worthy so far as re lates to their personal qualities, to represent this or any ether constitu ency in the federal congress. Per sonally, the people would not care the toss of a copper which one was elected. Whence, then, the bitter contest and the tremendous excite ment which we now witness? In 1874 Dr. Felton first announced him-elf, according to my* recollec tion, as an independent democratic candidate for congress in opposition to the regular nominee of the party. He took the ground that the district was being ruled by an irresponsible “ring,” that the nominee was not the true choice of the party, nor accepta ble to the people, and that under the rule of the “ring” neither the inter ests nor the wishes of the people were consulted. Up to 1874, as I understand, he voted for the nominee of the democratic party*. It may be assumed therefore that the “ring” so-called did not exist in this district prior to 1874, or if it did, that he did not feel called upon to enter the field against the regular nominee. The gentleman nominated in 1874, as we all know, withdrew from the race pending the canvass, and another candidate, against whom nothing could be urged, was put in nomina tion. Dr. Felton was elected by a trifling majority*. The “ring” and its nominee were defeated—“the horse and his rider ho had thrown into the sea.” The doctor was not content with his victory, however, nor with the punishment he had inflicted on the “ring.” He again announced him self as a candidate in IS7G, and again he overthrew the “ring,” its aiders and abettors—this time by* a much larger majority*; lie not only* de feated the nominee of the conven tion, but lie humiliated and broke up the “ring” in all its parts and ramifi cations, smitting it hip and thigh. IDs triumph was complete, and if his war was against the “ring,” he could then have well afforded to re pose on his laurels. Indeed, so thorough was the discomfiture of his antagonists that there remained no longer any* ground upon which he could consistently with his own pro fessions prolong the unseemly* con flict. lie never pretended that he had any just cause of complaint against the democratic party. It was against a selfish and irresponsi ble ring, which he alleges had pos sessed itself of the machinery of the party*, and was over-riding and trampling down the rights and inter ests of the people, that he had level led his batteries. Having destroyed tae ring and ground the faces of its manipulators into the dust, and hav ing no cause of quarrel with the par ty, the war was over and peace should have been proclaimed. What then was the duty of Dr. Felton on the occasion of the present election? Is it not plain that he should have addressed an open letter to the democrats of the seventh dis trict, stating that, having made war upon the 1 ring” and not upon the party, and having exorcised the or ganization of this evil spirit in the interests of the people, he was now ready to resume his old place in the party and submit himself and his claims to its judgement and decision. If he had done this his friends would have gone to work, and the organ ized democracy in convention assem bled, forgetting the past, would have nominated him, I have no doubt, by* acclimation. In that event, I should have been glad to vote for him. In that event I should have been glad to support him for governor in 1880, if regularly nominated by the demo cratic party. If he had pursued this course, there can be hardly any doubt but that he would have been the next governor of Georgia. It cannot be claimed that Judge L ister was nominated by the “ring” so-called. The “ring” as such was dead. The fact is there were only two men in the district who wouid take the nomination at all, if offered them, and neither of them desired it. Dr. Felton cannot pretend, there fore, that he is now fighting a ring or cabal. The ring is gone, and he is now warring against the demo cratic party. There is and can be no escape from .this dilemma. Can he be a democrat and fight the demo cratic party? Can he be rightly call ed a democrat at all? Does lie not rely* mainly upon the republican and negro v t te for his success? Nay, is he not really* the candidate of tiie republicans 1 lie is not the candi date of the democrats. No one has heard him utter one word in this canvass in favor of the democratic party*, or against the republican par ty. This being true, and the entire vote of the republicans being given to him, he is logically and in fact the candidate of the republicans. This is not said offensively*, buf is it not so? If the doctor has only been fight ing the “ring,” and the ring is dead, as has been shown, what is he now fighting, if not the democracy ? He has brought defeat and humiliation upon the “ring.” Does he mean to continue the struggle until he brings the proud old democratic party* to bite the dust also ? Is that the result for which he is contending? If so, then I beg leave to assure them that, though he live a thousand years, and every year bring him a crown of victory, he will find at the end of the thousanth year the true democ racy still giving him battle. If he expects the democratic party to hum ble itself in the dust at his feet, and to kiss the hand that smites it, then he is bound to be disappointed. Grant and the federal government, bearing the sword in one hand and the torch in the other, tried that and failed. The carpet bagger, urged on by* the demon of mammon and hate, supported by the ignoiant negro whom he had deceived, and aided and abetted by the infamous scala wag, whom he had seduced, tried it and failed; and assure as there is a [sun in the heavens William 11. Fel ton and his deluded followers will also fail. The party may be betray ed and defeated but it will rise again and strike for the right and against the wrong. It may be traduced and vilified, but it will survive the slan der and the slanderous. Traitors may infest its ranks, and its children, like the ancient Israelites, may go astray after false gods, yet it will live to put down the treason and to i recall its prodigal sons. Firm as the everlasting hills around whose sum mits play the thunderbolts of heav en, iron-ribed and full of courage and hope, with the principles of the con stitution inscribed upon its uplifted and advancing banner, it will remain here on this American contiuent, and among the mountains and valleys of the seventh congressional district holding its ground and fighting the battle of humanity and constitutional liberty, when Dr. Felton and his handful of misguided democratic followers shall have been sleeping ages in unknown graves. There may beseasonsofdisaster to the par ty ; men may rise up and mislead the people and produce confusion for a time; but these seasons and these men will pass away like summer clouds, while the old party, like the firm-set earth, will remain forever. It is true Dr. Felton forced Col. Trammell from the field, and twice defeated Mr. Dabney ; and he may defeat Judge Lester, thought I do not think so; and he may bring con fusion for the time upon the party ; but defeat and humiliate it he ft ill never do. It is not permitted to any* single man to do what all the powers and resources of the federal government have failed to accom plish. And thank Almighty God that it is so. Cato. A Valuable Book Free.— We have for a i long time seen the need among all classes of people, of a book which would give in clear j and concise form, the common cooking re- i cipes, tables of weight, measures, distances, I remedies in case of poisoning, and the valua- i blc miscellaneous receipts so often wanted, ; but never at hand. To meet this want we have, at considerable expense, published Dr- i Hart’s Family Receipt and (look Book, in which wo have carefully gathered together the above information. The retail price of the book is twenty-five cents, but as we want it widly distributed in order that the most good may be done by it, we have determined to mail it free to any one writing to us for it, any time duriug the next sixty days, and namiug the paper they saw this notice.

Hargrave, Propr. St. James Hotel. OBITUARY. Itev. Win. H. Trammell died on the 2nd inst. of Typhoid Fever, in Athens, Ga., being in his 27th year. There are many in this community who feci the death of this young man as a personal bereavement. Roared during the latter years of his youth in our midst, he was known and loved by us all. Willie was a modle boy. Unvaryingly dutiful, and gcutle, and kind and cheerful his presence never failed to brighten every scene at home. Light seemed to attend bis steps. Scrupulously conscientious and inflexibly upright he commanded, ever in his boyhood, our highest esteem. In him the uat rual virtues seemed to be complete. He re minded us of the young man of whom it was said, “Jesus beholding him, loved him,” so exemplary was his life from earliest chililhoo ’. Happily, lie had also the “one thing” which that young man lacked. He loved God “with a pure heart, fervently.” There was no surprise when, the time hav ing come, lie settled tiie great question of his life-work by a final consecration of himself to the ministry of the gospel. In December 1874 he became an itinerant Methodist preacher. In this field, where success requires, not o- ly faith and prayer, but talent and study and work, be achieved in the shortest lime a most enviable name. Guileless and unaffected, lov ing and devoted, he quickly won a personal popularity that opened the way for the sucee-s of his work. His labors were rewarded with the most gratifying results. “This begining of his ministry” was full of promise. It re vealed capacity and marked growth, and gave us assurance that the development of years would be characterised by high honor and the largest usefulness. But his work has been cut short. In the freshness and the vigor of his youth he lias been takcu from us. However, it is only a TRANSFER. He has entered upon a higher and a broader field. That expanding intellect has lost none of its activity ; that noble heart has lost none of its wealth. He still lives, to learn, to love, to minister, in a more blessed employ and with a diviner joy he serves Him to whom on earth his child-heart was given. The life below arid the life above are one. “There is no death! The dust wc tread Shall change beneath the Summer showers To golden grain or mellowed fruit, Or rainbow-tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize And feed the hanging moss they bear ; The forest trees drink daily life From out the viewless air, There is no death ! The leaves may fall And flowers may fade and pass away : Tiny only wait through wintry hours The coming of the May. There is no death ! An angel form Walks o’er;tlie earth with silent tread And bears our best beloved away, And then we call them “dead.” lie leaves our hearts all desolate, lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers; Transplanted into bliss they now, Adore immortal bowers. The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones Made glad these scenes of sin and strife, Now sings an everlasting song Around the free of life, Where’er he sees a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for taint and vice, He bears it to that world of light, To dwell in Paradise. Born unto that undying life, They leave us, but to come again, With joy we welcome them the same, Except their sin aud pain. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For ail the bonndlcs univese Is life. ‘There are no dkai>.’” J. T. N, Finance and Commerce COTTOIY MfEKET. CORRECTED BY J. J. HOWARD.

SEA TOAM is an entirely new inven tion, without any of the bad qualities of yeast or baking powders, soda, or salcratus. SEA FOAM contains no ingredient or element which can produce an injurious effect, but on the contrary has in itself n tendency to sustain and nourish the human system. It is ABSOLUTELY PURE Not infrequently the best of flour gets all the blame, when in reality the and: i -oh,mud poor taste are both caused by' the use of inferior raising powder. Many baking powders now highly recommended by grocers aud lienco largely sold, are made of old L ties ground up, and by a chemical process mixed with other ingredients. Before lending their influence to Increase lliesalcof any baking powder,grocers would do well to as'-ert: in the reputation and standing of it manufacture?-. They would thus avoid becoming lustrum .ulal in perpe trating a fraud on !m ir cc-innters. ami would In the long run make more money. Of course no honest man would knowingly lend himself to such a fraud upon fiis c: i ;u rs, and it is very poor p-.lNy 1.. r any prom r t > attempt to palm oft' inferior g ..is v. h i the best aro asked for. lie may by s.nluh. , .ke a little money at ihe time, but he surely will at some time, if the fraud is dire h. .. one of his best customers, and with him a ore of others Yvho might othefv. ise. have <i? .■ li. with him.

L Ml It is prepared Irom me i'Ure * ? ii.i l est materi als only, and is nevt r t . ’ r any circum stances adulterated. There i ; no longer any excuse for sour, heavy, or : L o bread, bis cuit, or pastry. Every! v. if? in the land should make herself ac-quad,': J with the facts we have stated, which are in '.isjml.able, and she will soon ascertain Unit most of the yeast preparations now being sold are anything else but what they |>i ... - tr. be, and that this is the main rca.;on why s > large a propor tion of the bread consumed by the masses of the community is unhcullbful. Invalids aro especially interested in tin t question of yeast, and ought to keep constantly in mind the im portant fact that their dietary should at all limes he tho best, and that under tlio most favorable circumstances they can not hope to regain health and strength unless their food is the most healthful and nutritious that can lx> obtained. Good food makes good Mood, and the nerve force is .strengthened or impaired in proportion as tire food we cat is nutritious or otherwise. SEA FOAM is worthy of a fair trial, and that is all we ask for it. No one having once used it will ever use any other preparation in the baking powder line, but will at once nnd forever bfuL-h from tho house the Y'arious crudo mixtures and bogus preparations in tlio form of yea: l that have so long and so persistently tended to destroy health by imperfectly performing the require ments they professed to fulfill. SEA FOAM retains in ail their excel lence tho nutritious proportion and natural taste of tlio various ce real prej orations of food, while in bread raised by the ordinary means there is very fr.-qu< v’y great loss of their toothsome and palatable qualities. Of all baking or ycr.st powdeis, Sea Foam is beyond dispute the BEST m THE WORLD Give it a, trial, and you will concede that wo have offered you the meatus 1,0 make poor flour much better than when used under ordinary conditions, while good flour will bo immeasurably increased in sweetness, rich ness, and all those qualities which combine to render good br? r ’ c i.iully the stair of life. SEA FOAM v; " w u'ed by the leading hotels and restaurant ? in New York city and throughout tho country. Or.e eating-house in New Y'ork has become famous for its SKA FOAM biscuit, and during the dinner hours there are always dozens of people waiting their turn to be seated. Ask your grocer to get it for yon, if ho has not already placed it in his stock, and if an Obliging man he wilt do so; or send for circular and price-11 t u BANTZ, J?T ; S & CO.
