have invited the Cartersville lodge

extend to both lodges most hearty
wishes that this enjoyable inter

only pleasant to the participants, but
profitable to the cause which they
represent.
Presbyterian.
Rev. Mr. Axson, of Rome, has
been in town since Wednesday of
last week and until Monday of this
week. The occasion was the series
of preparation services preceding the
administration of the Lord’s supper
on Sunday last, Mr. Axson assisting
Rev. Mr. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian chutch here. Mr. Axson is
a gentleman of fine attainments and
marked ability, and his discourses
have been the occasion of much
pleasure and profit to his hearers.
He and Mr. Smith are old college
mates, and have, since leaving col
lege, kept up an intimate friendship
which began in those happy days.
On communion occasion, they assist
each other in their respective church

Queen Elizabeth Vindicated.
At the Lyceum on last Monday
night, the young gentlemen, with
J. C. Hendon, president pro tem. in
the chair, debated the question,
“Was Mary, Queen of Scotts, justifi
ably executed?” and decided the
question in the affirmative, thus bus
taining the action of Queen Eliza
beth. It must be said, however, in
justice to Mary, that the decisions in
this association are rendered accord
ing to the weight of argument, and
not according to history. The young
men choose historical questions, al
though they are old and perhaps
threadbare, because the disputants
will be compelled to read up history
and thus add weekly to their stock of
information.
The Lyceum Is progressing finely.
For the 3ake of Cartersville, let’s
keep up at least one home institution.

COURTS HOUSE CLIPPINGS.
The sessions of the court have well
attended this week.
The jurieß have been unusually se
vere upon criminals this week.
Judge McCutchen is unusually care
ful of the rights of all accused per
sons.
The trial of Memmler'for bigamy
will be the centre of attraction for
this term.
Ordinary Howard is one oij the
best officers in the State, fearless and
conscientious in ,the discharge of his
duties.
In the absence of sheriff Kennedy,
deputy Franklin and his corps of
able-bodied bailiffs take care of the
frazzled end of jdstice.
Mr. Tom Word, clerk of the court,

There are two murder cases for this
term ; George Davis for the homicide
of young Holland, near Adairsviile;

Mr. John Kiker, of Calhoun, the

the swears and forswears in eases of
felony.
Col. Walsh Johnson, formerly a
Solicitor-General of this circuit, and
one of the finest criminal lawyers in

Nance and Mary McConnell, two

The best hit of the session was
when, in a little passage-at-arms be
tween Messrs. Stancell and Hackett,
Stancell urged Hackett “not to say
anything smart,” and Hackett re
plied, “Well, I can’t say anything
then.”
The monotony of judicial routine
was somewhat varied last Tuesday
after noon when the judge fined a ne

would seem to show a lack of interest
in its proceedings; and Mr. Stover,
for undertaking to let a witness know
when she would be needed at court,
Mr. Stover not knowing this would
be against rules.
UNFORTUNATE.
A Painful Accident to Mrs. Shepherd.
We are pained tojlearn that on last
Sabbath morning,X&9 Mrs. Mary
Shepherd, widow of the late esteem
ed John W. Shepherd was driving
to town on her way to church, the
buggy wheel suddenly slipped into a
deep rut, throwing Mrs. Shepherd
out. She fell on her right arm, and
broke the bone badly just at the el
bow joint. The accident occurred
between Dr. Benham’s and Mr.
Zimri Jackson’s, and Mrs. Shepherd,
accompanied by her little daughter,
Estella, the only person with her at
the time, walked to Mr. Jackson’s
about a quarter mile distant. Over
come with exhaustion and pain, she
sank into a kind of stupor, and, stim
ulants being administered, Drs. J. T.
Shepherd and Jesse Wikle were sent
for. When they arrived, the arm
was set and splinted, and at last ac
counts, Mrs. Shepherd was doing
well, though from the fact that the
break occurred at the elbow joint it
is feared that she will never entirely
recover the U3e of her arm.
Philomathian.
The Cartersville Philomathians
had their last meeting on Monday
evening of this week at the residence
of Col. R. 11. Jones. Honored with
an invitation, and accompanied by
that brick of a good fellow, Will
Wikle, we did the club; and we may
say right here, that it is the biggest
thing in the chronicles of Carters
ville. Recitations, readings, decla
mations and music constituted the
programme, and formed a delightful
combination of pleasure and profit.
Mrs. Jones played the difficult role of
hostess with her usual tact and grace,
while her charming visitors, Misses
Scott, of Rome, and Jones and Star
ling, of Chattooga county, added to
the enjoyment of the evening. Even
staid and sober Bill Edwards came,
and brought his bad cold with him,
while Cols. Jones and Moon talked
business and politics, and enjoyed
the fun.
Three cheers, we say, for the Philo*
mathians !
Admitted to the Bar.
Commencing on Friday afternoon
and ending on Saturdaylmorning, of

We congratulate them upon admis

hope to win fame and honor. The
competition is sharp; gthe race is
fierce j the contest is hard ; but ener

BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT.
Grand Jury Presentments for First
Week in January Term, xBBo.
Georgia, Bartow County, Jan.
1880.—We, the grand jury for the
first week of January term, 1880, beg
leave to make the following general
presentments!
Ist. We recommend that 90 per
cent, on state tax be levied for county
purposes.
2nd. We have appointed G. C.
Turnlin and B. R. Mounteastle to
examine the books of all the county
offices, to-wit: clerk, ordinary, coun
ty commissioners, treasurer, sheriffs,
tax receiver and collector and make
the report under oath to the grand
jury next regular term of the superior
court. They to have not exceeding
twenty days to make the examina
tion for which they are to receive
two dollars per day for their services.
Brd. We recommend that the coun
ty commissioners change and arrange
the court and jury rooms a9 in their
judgment may be best to prevent the
disturbance of the court from the
noise of passing trains. We further
recommend that the commissioners
dispense with all bridges across small
streams where good fords can be
made.
4th. We have examined the jail
and court house. We find the jail in
good condition, but recommend that
the commissioners have an elbow
and two or three joints of stove pipe
put on the stove in the jail to pre
vent the smoke from blowing back
into the prison.
sth. We have examined the pau
per farm and find now there eleven
inmates. On the first of January,
1879, there were 12 ; received during
the year 15; dismissed, 13, and
died, 3.
We find on the farm two mules,
one two-horse wagon, one cane mill
and evaporator; 14 hogs, 2 cows, 100
bushels corn, 300 bundles fodder, 5
bushels wheat, 300 pounds pork and
about 250 gallons syrup. There is in
cultivation 15 acres in wheat, 8 in
oats. Wo find the fences generally
out of repair and recommend that
they be repaired at once. We find
the total cost of maintaining the iartn
and paupers for the year 1879 to be
$919 62.
The superintendent’s books are
neatly and correctly kept. The in
mates appear to be well cared for and
comfortably situated.
6th. The treasurer reports $5,554.70
now on baud. The tax collector is
satisfied that he will still collect
500 or $2,000,
7th. We have examined the books
of the justices of 821, 819, 856, 936,
952,1041 districts and find them cor
rect. We find there is a vacancy iu
the office of notary public in the 828ih
district, and recommend Nathan
Land to be appointed to fill the va
cancy, also the re-appointment of
Silas Bell as notary public in the 1041
district, whose term of office has just
expired.
Bth. We find that the roads are in
as good condition as could be reason
ably expected considering the recent
rains.
We appoint Thos. W. Simpson to
fill the unexpirea term of John A.
Frwin, school commissioner resigned.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in the two pa
pers of this place, provided it can be
done at half price.
We also tender our thanks to his
honor Judge McCutchen and solicitor
general A. T. Hackett for their cour
tesies shown this body.

Phonographic,
Last Thursday night, Mr. Doug
lass, gave at Mill lean’s academy an
exhibition of the phonograph, which,
our readers will remember, is an in
vention by Edison lor preserving and
repeating sounds. The audience was
small, not thirty persous being pres
ent, and really the wonderful charac
ter of the instrument would seem to
attract a larger attendance in a town
as large as our. We suppose, how
ever, that many of our people had
*eeu the phonograph before. We
were much entertained with the ex
hibition. You may talk to the pho
nograph, and the phonograph will
repeat what you say. You may sing
to the phonography and it will sing
your song over afc'ain, giving the
modulations of the voice, though
generally on a different key. You
may laugh to the phonograph, and it
will laugh back at you. In fact, it is
a wonderful instrument, and we ad
vise all who have never seen it be
fore, to do so the first chance they
have.

—Married —Tuesday morning at
10 o’clock, on the 23d of December,
Mr. P. S. Shelman, of the Konnesaw
House, Marietta, Ga., was married to
Miss Lelia E. Dallas, of this
at the Methodist church of this place,
Rev. M. B. Hardin officiating in his
usual graceful and impressive man
ner. Mr. Charley Cox, a well known
pianist of this place, played a wed
ding march as the bridal party pass
ed up the aisle. The attendants were
Mr. C. T. Shelman, Jr., of Carters
ville, and Mis3 Ella Palmer, Mr. H.
E. Cary and Ada Awtrey; Mr. U. B.
Frost and Miss Lizzie Huguley, Mr.
E. R. Glover, of Marietta, and Miss
Lizzie Zachry* Messrs. W. S. Whit
man and W, V. Gray, acted'as ushers
on this occasion. There were a large
number of people present to witness
the ceremony. Mr. Shelman is a
worthy young gentleman, and he
carries away as his bride one of the
most charming young ladies ot this
county. She is a daughter of Mr. H.
W. Daliis, Jr., and has a host of
friends wherever she is known. The
happy couple left on the morning
train for Marietta, which will be their
home. We wish them much happi
ness and prosperity.— La Orange Re
porter.
—Mr. H. H. Hart, from Detroit,
Michigan, have taken rooms at the
St. James, where he may be found
by any who have a sewing machine
needing repairing. Give him a call.
—Mrs. Jones, how is your health this morn
ing? Thank yon, madam, much improved. I
bought a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup
last night, and after the first dose my Cough
was checked. I slept well, and have not
coughed once this morning.
FEMALE SUICIDES.
Poor, frail woman! How sad the life and
how terrible th j death of so many. The mid
night plunge, the lover’s leap, the bloody dag
ger, the poison’s venom are all brought into
requisition to shorten life. And yet another
mode of self-destruction is more frequent than
all others combined. While mother aud
daughter are guilty, the father smiles an as
sent. Females are absolutely hurrying them
selves todremature grave s by refusing to cure
the long list of female diseases that constantly
afflict them. Some have become pale, feeble
and emaciated, while others sutler with month-
ly troubles of a chronic na fure implicating the
whole system. Young girls huve become al
most unfit tor life and mot hers drag a misera
ble existence. You can be cured of all this
suffering, and why hesitate? Dr. Dromgoole’s
English Female Bitters has cured thousands
and will cure you. It is a powerful perma
nent tonic and female regulator.
TOO MUCH PHYSIC.
Yes, many people are killing themselves
with strong medioine9. They are making
miniature drug shops of their stomachs.
Pills, calomel and blue mass are taken in
quantities for constipation, biliousness aud
headache. The vital organs become overpow
ered and paralyzed by the use of strong drugs,
the designs of nature become frustrated and
disease is the result. Constipation cannot be
cured by the use of drastic purgatives—it may
give relief to-day, but the complaint will re
turn to-morrow. Mild and pleasant remedies
are best tor constipation, biliousness, dyspep
sia, etc., and for this purpose nothing equals
Bailey’s Suline Aperient. It acts speedily
and effectually, is cooling, pleasant and spark
ling, and can hardly be called a medicine.
Large bottles 50 cents.
SWAMP CHILLS.
This species of chills are generally more
difficult to eradicate than any other. The
miasm is of a more virulent character, pro
ducing more biliousness with a tendency to
congestion. The whole system becomes affect
ed, the head suffers, the bones and Joints ache,
and there is high fever and rapid prostration.
Quinine will seldom cure such cases, the relief
it gives is only temporary. A powerful vege
table tonic remedy has lately been introduced
which does not contain quinine or othet pci
son, never affects the head, ears or nerves,
cleanses the stomach, opens the bowels and
elieves the congested liver. The article is
known as Day’s Ague Tonic, which never fails
to cure the worst long standing cases. For

A Golden Opportunity
Wanted Immediately on the line of the
International & GL Northern B. R.
In Texas, where it is healthy, with excel
lent Freestone water, 200 GOOD FARMERS
to rent lands upon the following conditions :
When the landlord furnishes the land and
improvements only, and the tenant the team,
tools and provision, the landlord receives
from one-fourth to one-third of the ctep, and
tenant the remainder. Where the landlord
furnishes everything necessary to the making
of the crop except the provision for the fam
ily of the tenant, the crop is usually divided
bet weed the two parties. The two systems of
leasing offer industrious poor men, and es
pecially those with considerable families, gol
den opportunities to become independent
and the owners of farms at an early day.
Thousands of men in Texas, who are to-day
independent and the owners of fine farms,
made the first step towards success by
renting land in the manner described, ana
many of them purchased farms with the
profits of a single year’s lease. Of course it is
more profitable tor a man to buy land and im
prove and work his own farm, if he has the
means to do so, but for those who are do titute
of capital and possessed of industry and some
knowledge of farming, the system of renting
