The Cartersville Express.
Friday, Detenkcr 5, 1879.
~ EXPRESSIONS^
—Mra. Jay Gould has bought an
hotel in New Jersey. Wonder wbat
she wants with an hotel ?
—The American Union Telegraph
Company is extending . its line on
south through Tennessee, it will be
to Chattanooga ere long.
—There is now danger, says the
Augusta Chronicle , that Henry Grady
will run the Grape boom into the
Clement attachment, and reduce the
whole thiDg to a frazzle.
—When elections are void of cois
ruption in Georgia, there will be no
room for independents. It is better
to have open enemies, and it is
time Judas wa3 repenting.
—The gross earnings of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail
way, from January 1 to October 1,
1879, were $1,274,021. For the same
period in 1878, $1,188,032. Increase,
$82,989.
—Party democrats need not become
ecstatic over disaffection with Dr.
Felton’s letter by his people. He
might have written much worse
without causing serious disaffection.
There is too much confidence in Dr.
Felton by his followers to allow any
precipitate action against him.
—Many papers represent Mr. Ste
phens as repudiating the sentiment
that he endorses the views of Dr.
Felton. Are they not overdoing it
just a little? He denies that there
was such an interview as reported by
the Washington Star and the Savan
nah JVetus, yet his card don’t warrant
the assertion that he is not even in
accord with Dr. Felton.
—We had a pleasant call this morn
ing from Col. W. L. Goldsmith, of
Atlanta, who has the State agency of
a strictly first-class fertilizer —Zells’
Economizer —made by P. Zells &
Sons, Baltimore, Md. Col. Goldsmith
appointed Mr. O. A. Dunson agent
at LaGrange.— LaGrange Reporter.
—How would this ticket do: For
president, U. S. Grant; for vice-pres
idents, 0. A. Lochrane, H.W. Grady,
A. H: Stephens, M. E. Thornton, W.
H. Felton, R. A. Crawford and H.V.
M. Miller? Why should not this
great country have more than one
vice-president? There is no reason
except the constitution, and that is a
small matter.— Exchange.
—Charlie Willingham says he is a
democrat. This we have never seri
ously doubted. Will he now tell us
What he thinks of Congressman Fel
ton? Will he support him if he runs
for congress next year ? Speak out,
my boy.— Dalton Citizen.
Let us answer. The Pinafore quo
tation won’t do. Our afflicted neigh
bor will take whatsoever is given
him and ask no questions. That is,
he won’t consider anything against
Dr. Felton. Having eyes and ears,
he will neither see nor hear. How
ever, the Citizen and other democrat
ic papers are improperly severe in
construing the doctor’s letter.
—One of the reasons, in my opin
ion, for the weakness of convention
edicts is that the same men make up
all the conventions. The personelle
is seldom changed. It is the same
old thing over again—good enough,
it is true, but monotonous after a
while. It looks as if the “organized”
were moving on in a very narrow
circle. — Sunday Gazette.
Mr. Crady speaks to the point.
We don’t bejieve in this monotony.
Anti-republicans of the seventh dis
trict should, at the proper time, hold
a primary election. It should be
well advertised, and every patriot
should see that his less interested
neighbors give expression to their
choice* If that can’t be done, let the
independents and republicans fight
it out, and choose ye, as individuals,
between them.
—lt Is surprising that Senator Ben.
H. Hill would charge republicans
with an attempt to “destroy the
States and then the Union.” Bless
our ignorance, if he tells the truth.
We don’t believe any such charge
against the republican party. The
party is comprised of the masses,who
are honest and patriotic. Few men
Will, When the test comes, actually
cut off their noses for spite. It is time
the leaders in politics were adopting
new means of sustaining party en
thusiasm. The common people of
the south pray that they may yet be
understood and their motives be
rightly appreciated at the north, but
they do not echo the sentiments of
Mr: Hill in the statement above
quoted.
—“G. P. A.” These unique initials
in the large dining room of the St.
James, cause frequent inquiry by
visitors. They constitute the last
decorating relic from the visit of the
Georgia Press Association.
—We note as a good point in favor
of education, that the little advertise
ment of Miss Nannie Howard 'T*' 1-
cerning a lost daguerreot' T *~° of “ er
father was read by * co * man
who found the but did not
know who° if was, since more than
a quarter century had been added to
the years, and gray beard to the
beardless face of Mr. Howard. The
advertisement, and r: the ability to
read it by the darkey, secured its
return. Still, “it don’t pay to adver
tise ” ?
ADAIRSVILLE.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
ticket to a party at the residence of
Mr. John Lynn, and regret being un
able to attend. We are glad to see
that the Christmas festivities have
begun,
Mr. Neil Cunningham was married
on the 27th inst., to Miss Hickey of
Floyd county. The happy couple
have our congratulations and sincere
wishes for their success through life.
Mr, Tom Ewing, of J. H. Warner
& Cos., one of Chattanooga’s sterling
business young men, was in town last
week.
The street lamps add greatly to the
attraction of our town.
Maj. Marye, the affable travelling
agent and correspondent of the Chat
tanooga Times , was in town last week
soliciting subscribers for his meritori
ous paper.
Mr. W. W. Martin, one of Rome’s
cotton merchants made a flying visit
home Sunday.
The holidays promise to be lively.
Miss Julia Combs after a brief visit
returned home Monday.
Business daily increasing and our
merchants look happy.
