Alexander H. Stephens id “not
much to look at but splendid to
hear.”
“Useless is the only fruit that this
life can bear”—Henry Clay, at the
funeral of John Quincy Adams.
The Selma Rome & Dalton Rail
road Company, are building a splen
did combination bridge of wood and
iron across big cedar creek.
—The thorough vindication of Mar
shal Fitzsimmons is not a surprise,
but it is a matter concerning which
his friends feel a just pride.
—Birmingham, Alabama, has two
which are worked to their
full capacities. The large castings
used at the various blast furnaces in
Alabama are made there.
—Senator Wade Hampton has re
ceived an invitation to deliver an
address before the Grand Army of
the Republic of Pittsburg, the time
of the delivery of the address to be
made optional with him. General
Hampton will accept this invitation.
—A. A. Vernoy, passenger agent
Kennesaw route, and agent for the
“Wrenn’s Telephone Exchange,”
was in Cartersvilie the other day in
the interest of the exchange. Large
bodies move slowly, Cartersvilie will
buy its advantages but wants time to
consider the matter.
Five hundred and ten thousand
dollars in the treasury, which legally
belongs to the bounty money of col
ored soldiers has lain there for seven
years, and Senator Bailey, of Ten
nessee, has offered a bill by which it
is to be invested in interest bearing
bonds and applied to educational in
stitutions for colored people at the
south.
—The Vanderbilts—Cornelius, Wil
liam K. and William H.—are about
to make a “splurge” in the archi
tectual line. Plans have been drawn
for four mansions on Fifth avenue,
New York, to cost in the aggregate
$1,650,000. It is a curious fact that of
these the most expensive is that to.be
erected by Cornelius, the poorest of
the lot, the estimated cost being
$700,000. — Ex.
A Cartersvilie belle read an essay
on “Woman’s curiosity” at a meet
ing of the Good Templar’s, the other
night, in which she referred to Eve’s
biting that sweet apple which had so
sharp a sting in it, explaining that
she was not at all hasty about it, but
acted on Adam’3 gallantry, who
waited for her to have the first taste.
“Curiosity,” she affirmed, “had noth
ing to do with it.”
The census supervisor districts of
Georgia are five in number. The
first district includes the counties of
Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Chero

mer, Gordon, Gwinnett, Habersham,
Hall, Haralson, Lumpkin, Milton,
Murray, Paulding, Pickens, Polff,
Rabun, Towns, Union, Walker,
White, and Whitfield counties.
—Much cotton is wasting in the
fields along the line of the Selma
Rome & Dalton road. It is a little
distance so much the appearance of
snow that an observer who is accus
tomed to snow apt to mistake it.
And yet the gins are busy, while the
railroads don’t know when the
“block” can be removed. My friend
R. at the Rome depot, said yesterday
he was so worried for shipping facili
ties that he hardly knew what to do.
Receipts increase while the removal
is almost too slow to be perceptible.
—One of the many places resorted
to by the young people, for pleasure
and genuine hospitality, in our little
city, the residence of Col. R. H.
Jones. Mrs. J. gave an entertainment
for the little folks—and a few special
friends—on last Tuesday evening,
which was largely attended. It show
ed the great appreciation of the
easy, graceful manner in which all
are made to feel at home by her
untiring efforts. The participants
dispersed at a late hour for their re
spective homes, their bright smiles
and joyful mood showing how earn
estly they epjoyed it.
—On last Monday evening the de*
bating club of this city, held their
third meetiug at the Good Templar’s
hall, which was the first evening lor
debate, the previous meetings hav
ing been occupied in a thorough or
ganization. The question for debate
Resolved, “Was Oliver Cromwell a
patriot,” was hotly contested; the dis
putants displayed tine talent, argu
ing the question in a manner worthy
of much older and more experienced
orators. All members of the society
are requested to be present on next
Monday night, as business of impor
tance will come before the Club.
"adairsville.
Last Monday as the third section
of No. 6, passed down, it struck an
old gentleman by the name of Criss
man, who was walking on the ties,
and had nearly reached the crossing
below the depot. It is supposed that
his attention was directed to the one
which had just passed and failed to
hear the the other one as it was fol
lowing very closely after the second
section. The attending physicians
state that one arm and leg are broken,
and a cut in the head. As yet no in
ternal injuries have been discovered,
though at the present writing his con
dition is regarded precarious. Mr.
Crissman lives three miles in the
country, and is an honest upright
man; is a member of the Primitive
baptist church. Immediately after
the accident he was carried to the
residence of Mr. J. D. Bowdoin,where
he will remain until able to be re
moved; and will be kindly cared for
by sympathetic hearts and tender
hands.
On the 18th inst. there were2s emi
grants took the train at this point for
Arknsas via “Iron Mountain Route,’
under charge of the pleasant and
efficient agent, Mr. C. A. Haslett.We
regret to see so many deserting the
Empire State,and their native hemes,
but wish them happiness and wealth
in their new made ones.
Mrs. Cate, of Tunnell Hill has
moved to this place and opened a
millinery establishment. This i3
something that has been long needed
here, and we bespeak for Mrs. Cate a
liberal patronage, and recommend
her goods and prices to the public.
Col. J. W. Gray is building an ad
dition to his store.
The new tin roof on the hotel has
just been completed, which was ne
cessitated by the damages of a severe
little hurrican a few weeks ago.
We have heard of no entertainment
yet for Christmas. Don’t let it be
dull boys! Let’s hear from you.
Our town is continually improving
and daily the streets are filled with
mountain and cotton wagons.
There can be seen a number of
drummers in town daily.
Big Bartow Hogs.
W. B. Bohannon, Esq., has a fine
breed of hogs of the Berkshire and
Poland China cross. Last year the
net weight of one seventeen months
old was 505 ponds, and his son-in-law,
Mr. S. Davis, killed one of the same
breed this week, nineteen months
old that netted 606 pounds.
LOUISE POMEROY.
“As You Like It.”
“Bartow county, Georgia, possesses
more prains than any people I know”
said a young gentleman in the Opera
house last night in reply to an expres
sion of surprise, at so large an audi
ence as greeted Louise Pomery with
her excellent company. She’s been
here before and is known to be the
best actress who ever honors our
stage.” The audience was enough to
inspire the company and how well
they entertained may be the better
imagined, when it is known that “As
you like it,” is a favorite play with
the distinguished artist. Everything
tended to make the occasion pleasant.
Part of the audience came a little
two early.
It will interest our readers to
know, we speak with authority, in
denying the assertions occasionally
made that the celebrated actress left
her husband for the stage. From a
child she aspired to it. Yet her fami
ly opposed her acting. At time of
of mairiage, her husband favored it
and it was the understanding that
that she do so in a year. By that
time he opposed it, but trouble came
from other causes: Separation is
wider than the walks of this life,
yet it speaks for the nobleness of her
Heart— that she delights in referring
to the merits of ’’Brick” Pomeroy,
the father of her heaven-treasured
child.
The St. James is doing a good bus
iness. Wednesday there were twen
ty-two ana yesterday fifteen ar
rivals before we vvent to press. The
largely increased patronage of this
hotel indicates quite accurately how
the “boom” affects us.

THE SUN for 1880.
The SUN will deal with the events of the year
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody'. From January 1 to De
cember 31 it will be conducted as a newspa
per, written in the English language, and
printed for the people.
Asa newspaper, The Sun believes in getting
all tbe news of the world promptly, and pre
senting it in the most intelligible shape—the
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least unproductive,
expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest number —that is the law controll
ing its daily make-up. It now has a circula
tion very' much larger than that ol any other
American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which it is at all times prepared to spend lib
erally lor the benefit of its readers. 1 eople of
all conditions of life and all ways of thinking
buy and read The Sun; and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort irom its columns, tor
they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs. The St. n
believes that the only guide of policy should
be common sense, inspired by genuine Ameri
can principles and backed by honesty of pur
pose. For this reason it is, and will continue
to be, absolutely independent of party, class,
cliqne, organization, or interest. It is for ail,
but of none. It will continue to praise what is
good and reprobate what is evil, taking care
that its language is to the point and plain, be
yond the possibility of being misunderstood.
It is uninfluenced by motives that do not ap
pear on the surface; it has no opinions to sell,
save those which may be had by any purchase
tor two cents. It hates injustice and rascality
even more than it hales unnecessary woras. It
abhors frauds, pities tools, and deplores nin
compoops of every species. It will continue
throughout the year 1889 to chastise the first
class, instruct the second, and discountenance
the third. All honest men, with honest con
victions, whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. And The Sun makes no bones ot tell
ing the truth to its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises ior plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which Tjie
Sun will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1989 will be one in which no patri
otic American can afford to eio : ,e his eyes to
public affairs. It is impossible to exaggerate
the importance of the political events which it
decl9-lm I. YV. ENGLAND, Publisher of ik rhe Sun,” New City.
has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigi
lance on the part of every citizen who desire**
to preserve the Government that the founders
gave us. The debates and acts of Congress,
the utterances of the press, the exciting con
tests of the Republican and Democratic parties
now nearlv equal in strength throughout the
country, the varying drift of public sentiment,
will all bear directly and effectively upon the
twenty-fourth Presidential election, to be held
in November. Four years ago next November,
the will of the nation, as expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspi
racy, the promoters and beneficiaries of which,
still hold the offices they stole. W ill the crime
ol' 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade of
years opened with a coirupt, extravagant and
insolent Administration intreueeed at Wash
ington. The Sun did something toward dis
lodging the gang and breaking its power. The
same men are now intriguing to restore their
leader ami themselves to places from which
thev were dri\en by the indignation of the
people Will they succeed? The coming year
will bring the answers to these momentous
questions. Thk Sun will be on hand to chron
icle the facts as they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessly i their
relation* to expediency aid right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good hn
mor in looking at the minor affairs of life, and
in great tilings a steadfast purpose to maintain
the rights of the people and the principles of
the Constitution against all aggressors, Thb
SUN is prepared to write a trutlifnl, instruct
ive. and at the same time entertaining history
of 1880.
