The Cartersvi lie Express. Friday, December 19, 1870. EXPRESS-ION S. 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 kee, Cobb, Dade, Dawson, DeKalb, Fannin, Floyd, Forsyth, Fulton, Gil 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. Bartow Sheriff ’s Sales. WILL BE SOLD BEFORE THE COURT house door in Cartersvilie.

To secure Lowest Prices, send Cash with your Orders. 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.
