EDITORIAL EXPRESS—IONS.
Mr. Hayes is going: to write a his
tory of his four years* occupancy of
Mr. Ti Idea’s office,
A week is a Ion? time to wait for
the many food thing* served up in
the Rome Tribunt. How about a tri
weekly, Col. Ingraham?
We present a patent inside this
week and will probably have one also
next week. This arrangement ia on
ly temporary—until our broken arm
is healed.
Gainesville is spreading herself as
a summer resort this season. The
Eagle will appear next week in a
summer resort issue. What is the
.State road going to do in the summer
resort business this year?
A most telling argument is advaiw
ced by the Sparta Ishmaefile In favor
of our farmers raising their own
meat. It L that western hog raisers
have a way of killing their sick hogs
as soon as they become unhealthy,
*fd making bacon of them for sale
in the south and elsewhere. This
may or may not be true, but at any
rate, if the southern farmer raises
his own hogs he is sure to know
what he is eating.
The ex ceilencies of the Atlanta Con
stitution :as a great newspaper is in a
great measure due to its excellently
managed local department. Mr. Ed
ward BrufTey as a newspaper reporter'
has no superior in the state. His
work shows for itself. He acknowl
edges that he is the only young roan
on the state press who is not “taleuN
cd,” but when it comes to a pair of
swift running logs he can be counted
a whole scholar.
We have no desire to bore the peo
ple of Cartersville with the discussion
of old topics, but the question of
bailding a cotton factory is one that
we shall willingly abandon until we
hear the hum of the spindles in Car
tersville. We shall even be impor
tunate like the good widow In thsbi
ble, in the hope that some of our cap
italists; will build a factory to get rid
of our importunity.
It /is by far the most important,
question thnt wc have ever bad occa
sion to present to onr readers. West
all times willingly lend the aid of our
columns in the interests of ice-cream
festivals,church festivals,
ities religious and benevolent enter
prises—commending the causes that
prompt them, and cheerfully lending
our aid to make them successful
Butlhisisa matter of great public
ioterest, one in which the entire com
munity is interested —nn enterprise,
which, if inaugurated, will be of
profit, t only to individual invest
ment, tut to the entire city.
Believing this, as a public journal,
having at heart the welfare, the prns
perify, the individual end general
aggrandizement of the people whom
we serve, we fee) it a duty to never
werv or grow indifferent m urging
it, in arguing for it, in pleading for it.
We have a beautiful little city—a
stnng trade, a fine cotton market,'
splendid society; but we had all these
ten and twenty years ago. If some
oi old citizens who have rested
quietly for twenty years in Oak Hill
cemetery, could rise from their graves
and walk over the city they would
find lirlie difficulty in recognizing its
houses and streets. If old Rip \an
Winkle had been a resident of Car
tersviile, and had* taken his twenty*
years nap upon some of the hills that
surround our city, when he awoke
and carp© in town the old man would
not have been so previously shocked
at the change. He wm/ld have found
the village pretty much as he left it.
This is not said to detract in any
wny from our city—*on the contrary,
we are always ready to speak a good
word for Cartersville, and are never
so well pleased as in recouting our
advantages as a city, and asserting its
prosperity. The fact Is, Cartersville
has always been a good town. What
we need, what wo have always need
ed, is more public spirit and more
enterprise. With the capital we have
with the number of spleudid business
men, we OUght to be a bigger town,
and a wealthier town. This could be
easily accomplished by the establish
ment of a few of those public enter
prises that have made other places
wealthy and prosperous. We believe
there is life enough, brain enough and
c&ptia! enough to do this. Men who
have made their money here ought to
be willing to spend a little of it in
this direction, especially U it will re*
turn them a good interest*

quantity to be very profitable.
The Pfeuie at Slilesbero.
Stileboro’s annual May picnic
came off last Friday. Although we
were the recipient of a most cordial
invitation yet we were for a multi
tude of reasons, debarred the pleasure
of attending. Tht?re are no people so
hospitable as the 17th district folks,
and for that reason we are not dis*
posed to let their annual pic nlc pass
with a mere mention of its occur
rence. So at our solicitation a young
gentleniau of Cartersville who attend
ed has kindly furnished us with the
following:
It was our good fortune to be pres
ent at the picnic in Stilesboro last
Friday. Though we were never at
the above named pla ; eona like occa
sion before, we do not hesitate to say
that, if the last is a fair specimen of
the picnics the people of the 17th dis
trict get up, they are far aftead of
most people, for strange to say, the
art or gift; which ever you please, of
making a picnic enjoyable is far from
common. The hospitality of this
people has come to be proverbial, and
this event more than sustained their
reputation. By 10 o’clock a large
crowd had assembled, who seemed
determined to have a good lime and
make every body else have one if pos
sible. At 12 j o’clock dinner
was spread in the beautiful
grove in the academy lot, and
a more sumptuous repast it hasn’t
been our pleasure to look upon in
sometime. After dinner was over
the party engaged in the diflerent
amusements of the day which were
principally, croquet, mumble peg and
many many stars, for the little
folks, and those with whom cupid
was consulting would steal away and
seat themselves under the shady
houghs of some tree and they seemed
happiest of all. And those who in
dulged in the airy fantastic were kind
ly tendered a room in the elegant res
Hence of Capt. Sproufl. One of the
most beautiful features of the picnic
was the ime-rtst masilusted by the
“ i.'d folk*,” chief among Whom wore
Cfcpls. Chas. Sbclrmni, Pri.chett and
Ms . Cunycjrs. They denied to enjoy
it immenst ly anti added greatly to
the pleasure of the day. Misses Mol*
tic Yancy and Pat tic Colbert, of Ce
dartown, were among the belies of
tbo •Kjcasion.
Joe Moon and These. Smith declare
tha'. Stilesboro can’t be beat. Carters
vills was well represented, and ail
seemed to be delighted. We shall
always deem it a special pleasure to
attend alike affairs gotten up by t-h*
17ih district. D.
Bartow 1 broad.
Our readers will remember that sev
eral week? since we noticed the visit
to Cartersviile of two gentlemen
of New York State. Mr. E. N
Northropp and Captain Williams,
who in company with Mr. Francis
Fontaine, commissioner of Immigra
tion of Georgia, wore making a tour
of the state with a view to locating
here. The genial Mr. Northropp,
(and may his tribe increase,) is writ
ing for his home paper, the EUicotts
vilie (N- Y ) Union, an account of hi*
trip. From a recent number we clip
the following:
We arrived in Carteraviile fifty
miles above Atlanta, about 10 p. m. f
and secured lodgings in the St. James
hotel. We found OartersviiJe a smart
young city. The wagon factory th-re
is a fine one, and an evidence of the*
increase of manufactures in the South.
We formed a number of pleasant ac
quaintances there, gentlemanly,
whole souied men, ready to bid us
welcome among whom I can mention
Mr. Willingham, the editor of the
bright, spicy Cartersville Express,
and T. J, Lyon.
At 9:80 a. m., March 9, we took
the train to Cans Station, five miles
further north, where we were most
hospitably entertained by Gen. W.T.
Wofford, who commanded one of the
confederate brigades at Gettysburgs.
He went with us on a long tramp out
to explore the country about there,
with which we were highly pleased
—the soil, climate, water and timber
all being fine, not to mention the
wealth of iron ore and limestone that
abound there, nod throu *hout Bar
low county* The General and Cap*
tain Johnston proved to be go<d on
a march, and ere a couple of Itourt
had passed, Mr. Fontaine and I found
ourselves separated from them, and
we did not find them again until after
our return to the station. One thing
that attracted our attention every
where at Atlanta, and where ver we
went, was the number of persons
who knew Mr. Fontaine and the
manifest love they showed for him.
And no wonder, for he bad a kind
word for all, and seemed to enjoy a
conversation with those we met ou
the cirs, and in the towns and field*,
whether rich or poor. As we were
walking togother across a wide, beau**
tiful, plowed field, I found I had no
matches to light my cigar, and Mr,
Fontaine not being a smoker was
aii&e unprovided. At a distance out
in the field we saw a team and wagon
in which was a man, while two small
boys were walking ahead, one being
considerably nearer to u*. Wo
shouted to him and he finally came
to us; and on being if he had
any matches, he said he had not, but
that his father had,and that he would
go for them. We saw r him arrive and
speak to his father, and then his
father came to us alone across the long
distance of plowed ground, and
brought me three matches, and he
had but one leg—the other having
been lost, and supplio by plain old*
fashioned, wooden one. I offered
him a quarter of a dollar, fori suw
he was very poor, but he declined it,
and I saw I had made a mistake and
hurt hia pride; but I quickly spoke,
“For the little boy, I me*u who came
over to us,” then he took it for him,
with thanks. He was chopping four
foot cord wood and draw ing it to the
Station, and selling it for $1.75 a full
cord, paying about thirty cents a cord
for it on the stump. I mention this
circumstance, and might mention
many others, to show the general
kindness and politeness of those peo
ple.
Next week I will, continue tny ao
count of that interesting section,
Northern Georgia.
Yours truly,
E. D. N.

FAMOUS FLAGS.
Macon Telegraph.
The first confederate banner made
in Georgia wn> the work ;f Mrs.
Thomas Hardeman. It was present
ed to the Floyd rifles on the morn
ing after the congress at Montgomery
had adopted the stars and bars as the
flag of the confederacy, and was tak
en by the rifles to Norfolk, Ya., in
April 1861. During the confusiou of
removal and transportation it was
unfottunately lost.
The banner borne by the Macon
Volunteers, during the late war, was
presented by Miss Marianne Cobb,
daugler of General H<well Cobb. It
was the sixth standard that had been
presented to that company, and was
destroyed in Richmond, Va., during
the burning of a portion of that city
at the close of the war.
The colors of the first Georgia regi
ment of volunteers, Colonel Henry
R Jackson commanding, were made
and presented by Miss Howard, of
Columbus, afterwards Mrs. Charles
Williams. She was the origumtor of
our memorial day, and in honor of
her memory, the grave where sht
rests, on the banks of the Chattahoo
chee, receives at every anniversary
of that day a most appropriate floral
decoration.
