It was sad that Joe Harris was not
at the press convention. His absence
was probably due to the fact that he
knew all the gang would be captured
by Prof. J. Willoughby Re<de, and
then, too, Matty Wallack wasn’t
there.

Cartersville. Ga , May 1 t‘h, ’Bl.
Mr. Editor: —This being the day
set apart bv the ladies Memorial As**
sociation of Cassville, for the annual
ceremonial services, your correspond
ent, hoping to dispel some of the
cares and anxieties of town life, paid
a brief visit to that village of memo
ries—Cassville.
The Cartersville delegation all
reached the cemetery hy 10 a. to.
an hour ahead of time, after
resting in the shadow of the Confed
erate monument, we all visited the
vntious places of interest on the
grounds. By 11a. m. the people were
all assembled, when the ceremonies
of the day began. The orator elected
by the association having failed to
put .in an appearance, no set speech
was raadn. and after the singing of
several hymns, aid prayer bv Rev.
W. J. Cotter, the ceremonies proper
concluded with the usual floral offer
ings. A meeting of the association
was the held, for the election of an
orator for 1882, whi'*h resulted in the
unanimous choice of Hon. Geo. N.
Lesser, of Marietta, for speaker, with
11**v. C, A, Nummlly, of Rome, and
lb V. C. A. Eva' s, of Atlanta, aswl-
s creates. An oppntunity was then
given to join the association, when
about thirty new names were enroll
ed, many of them being from this
placr.
Thus ended another of those ten
derly interesting occasions, wherein
the ladies of Cassville, with ruined
shrines, crumbling altars, and desert
ed hearthstones, emblemmatical of
their blighted hopes, still keep green
the memory of their brave defenders,
who fell victims to that unholy, in
ternecine strife. May the brave sons
of old Cassville, who sleep in distant
lands, find as fair, willing hands to
tend their last resting place.
Some of u* spent Lie afternoon in
riding about the village and surround*
ing country, recalling memories of the
past, linking them with the realities
of the present and forecasting the pos
sibifttk* of the future. Anew town
may yet spring from the as 'es of
the old, as there arc many signs of
life there; yet it seems more fitting
that the old place should not be dis
turbed by Him busy world, but left to
those sweet nc*l actions of an agw
that is gone, never to return.
But the drive home this beautiful
May evening soon dispelled ad mel
ancholy thoughts, connected w ith the
dreamy pleasures of the day.
Cartersville.
The Boy Burglar.
Marshal Lowry ha* received a note
from Governor Hawkins in response
to hU application for a requisition for
young Etlinger, who is now in jail at
Cartersville on the charge of burglar
ieinr Glass’ clothing house, stating
that be could not issue the requisi
tion without a certified copy of the
indictment, This whs done at once,
and the copy forwarded, and the re
quisition will he sent to the Governor
of Georgia to-day. Gov. Colquitt has
givtn the official* t CartersviiJe au
thority to hold him twenty days
without any fart her service of papers,
consequently he will be secure until
the requisition arrives. Policeman
Light, who has been at Cartersville
since Etlinger’s arrest, will return to
Chattanooga to-day.
Hie Meeting of the Press fenveatlon.
It is very evident that The Ex
press of this week is a little “off.”
We’ve been “off”—to the Press Con
vention. As a press convention once
assembled in Cartersville it is not m e
easnry for us to tell our readers what
kind of iastitutious they are. They
are never burdened with much busi
ness. About all the business done in
them is to puss thanks and resolu
tions and go around and get the things
thanked for.
Royally did Rome receive us and
royally did she eutertain us. The
white badge on the lippel was a suffi
cient passport everywhere.
A detailed account of the pro
gramme would be alike, burdensome
to our limited columns and uninter
esting to our readers. Rome merely
put her be9t foot foremost, and we
have heard naught but praisn of our
sister city from the members of the
fourth estate which praise is likely to
keep up very publicly for some time
to come.
The cordial address of welcome
Abounding in both mirth and senti
ment, the soul stirring sports on the
river, the beautiful entertainment by
the pupils of the Rome Female Col
lege at night where the editors were
led off into a dreamy sight of the
pearly shores, by the swiss muslins
and ns! sashes of the fair little per*
formers, the boat ride on the river,
the carriage ride over the city, theg o
rious banquet are ad matters of mon
umental remembrance in the minds
of every editor. The members of
the Rome press were untiring in
th ir efforts in behalf of their breth
ren, and their cflorts were seconded
and carried out by their people.
Many an editor envied the Rome
press their constituency.
Leaving Rome on Friday morning
the association with Wrenn at the
head were all landed in Chattanooga,
a point on the way to Nashville,
where the association was invited to
witness the exposition now in pro
gress. At Chattanooga the associa
tion was treated to ice cream and re
ceived several other attentions. Leav
ing at eight and iu the hands of Mr.
Peebles, of the Nashville A Chatta
nooga railroad and Albert Wrenn, of
the same road the association after a
ride through six hours of a beautiful
moonlight night, arived at Nashville
wnere quarters were found at th€N
Maxwell House, the most magnificent
hotel whose hash our innocent rural
anatomy ever compared. They say
there ?re bigger and better hotels
than the Max wed House. Wednu’t
believe it. We’ve never, seen them,
and it takes seeing to believe. Tnere.
is nothing nut what is finished and
elegant from the beer saloon in the
cellar to the elegant little nest in
which we stowed our weary limbs
way upon the extreme end, this way
of hfctvtn.
As wh took our breakfast and the
soft, delicious mushinesa of a rare
steak drew its slow length down apas?
our Adams apple we felt a desire
forgive every man who is getting this
paper for nothing. If any citizen of
this county ever goe3 to Nashville
without camping at the Maxwell he
may count it that he has lost just one
half of his life.
The boys oft ho press spent the day ,
in Nashville in divers ways. Car*
riages were provided them, they vis
ited Mrs- James K. Polk, who held a
bri >f reception. The capital was also
visited as well a- the Vanderbilt Uni
versity and other poiuts of interest
about the city.
In the afternoon the exposition was
visited by a large delegation ehaper
oM' and by Col. Oftrles Roberts, of tho
K j i lay Herald, and when we come
tn tdk of Roberts our pencil fails.
When entertaining hh friends he is a
bomb charged with a thousand and
.>!* attentions and kindnesses when
ftr*d makes the recipient fall down
and in his dying breath proclaim,
“Roberts forever!*’ Roberts enter
tained us with everything from a
glass of beer to an elephant ride at
the carusei.
The writer spent some time in the
American office where ei.% years ago
he chased work as a ‘‘mb” printer.
The feelings that pervaded in our
breast as we beheld the old familiar
faces of tho hist days of our expeii
ence “on the turf” were enjoyable.
The American is tho paper of the
southwest, and from the ground flo r
to tho top loft of its establishment
can he found nothing but business
like system and progressive Journal
ism.
We return home just in time before
our paper goes to press to write the
above brief allusion to our trip.
A Ceßtlenaa.
If you cannot find a gentleman to
marry, girls, do not marry at all. By
that term I do not mean a man who
is above the need of work; he may
be anything but a gentleman ; but a
man who knows how to work, who
has self-respect enough to keep him
from low habils both of speech and
action ; who is courteous and honor
able; who is not afraid of soiling his
hands; the farmer, the blscksrnith,
the carpenter, any man may be a gen
tlcman under dust and soot and chips,
but if he is ot, girls, don’t marry
him at all! There is enough trouble
in life without increasing it in any
way. Do not subject yourself to the
mortification that would be sure to
come with a husband who would con
tinually cause you to blush for his
lawless actions, for his coarseness and
bis roughness for his slippery deni
ings or for his hypocritical polish. It
is not sufficient that a man looks and
dresses well; he must act and live
well beside.
The Pleasares of BbsUcss.
No human mind is contented with
out occupation. No human soul is
satisfied without an aim or purpose
in life. The gr atest success in life
onsists not in the me*o accumula
tion of riches, but in being able to ac
quire wealth with a disposition toap
ply it in such a manner that it shall
be a comfort and blessing to others—
not in the mere giving away of
money, but in putting people 1n a
way to labor and help themselves.
There is no pleasure in oppression.
There is no joy in grinding and ex
acting gold from the poor ; but there
is a great deal of genuine satisfaction
iu being able to offer st ady and hon
orable employment to the many wil
ting hands that have nothing to do.
One of the greatest enjoyments of the
prosj erous business man consists in
being able to comfortably provide for
the many employes in his house and
manufactory. In doing this he is ful
filling his ogligatious to society ; he
becomes a useful and honored citizen;
businesMo him Is real pleasure; he
enjoys his successes, when they are
fairly won because he feels that he de
serves them.
When a business man has the right
Kind of a purpose iu life he enjoyH his
occupation, he feels a just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respect and gratitude of
those whom he directs and controls
in the management of his affairs, and
he feels that in benefiting himself he
is conferring a favor upon others.
Harper’s Yeung People.
This weekly periodical issued for
boys aud girls is full of merit. Every
line of its 16 pages, every engraving
that embellishes its columns sparkles
and glistens, and in it all members of
the household will find entertain

when the public schools are to be
closed, parents will find their cares
lessened by placing in the hands of

The other night a policeman ob
served a man hanging around the en
trance to a Michigan avenue hall in
a queer sort of away, and he asked
him if he belonged to the order (hen
in session up stairs* The man replied
that he did, and the officer inquired:
“Then why don’t you go up?”
“Well, I was thinking of it.”
“Haven’t been erpelled, have
you?”
“Qh, no, u
“ Aren,t afraid of anybody ?”
“No.”
“And you haven’t losf your inter
est ?”
“I might as woll tell you,” said the
man after beating around awhile
longer. *‘i went down to Toledo a
few days ago, aud somehow the story
came back here that I wag drowned.
My lodge thereupon passed resolu
I tions to the effect that 1 honest, up-
I right and liberal and a shining orna
ment, and that what was its loss was
jmy gain. 1 was drowned, as you see,
but kind o’ hate to walk in on ’em
and bust those resolutions. I*retried
it three times, and I can’t get higher
up than the fifth stair before I weak
en.”
1 Prayer
i May those who have deliberately
swindled us out of our paper never
j die.
May they ever be naked and hun
gry*
May they have to set type as wa
did last winter, in an old framed
house with the thermometer below
z**r<> and <ld field pine for fuel.
May black snakes creep chilly up
their bare legs at the dark hour of
midnight.
May their br ad be wormy.
May th‘*y be forced to read Con*
gressional Recordsaul Commissioner
Orr’s t durational addresses.
May their drinks be filled with spi
( era, dirtdohbers and blowflies, and
lizzards inhabit their ears.
May their beds be in the stables of
the Kentucky ass, and their covering
a spoiled cow hide.
May they never feci that divine
sensation which can only be caused
by the smacking of a pair of ruby
lips, but continually sucked by a
toothless old bag.
May they be duped by church fairs,
skinned by soap peddlers, banted
down by book agents, sewing ma
chine agents, lightning real agents
and fruit tree men.
And at last, when Gabriel shall
sound the great trumpet, may they
be deafened, and left to wonder over
the vast chaos left behind, perfect be
ings laden with curses innumerable.

Fashionable Affection.
There is occasionally a good deal oj
mutuality in people not wanting to
see each other. Yesterday a hand*
somely dressed lady called at a fash
ionable residence on Galveston ave
nue. There was the inevitable small
boy play tug in the front yard.
“Your mother is not in, is she?”
asked the visitor.
“Yes, she is io the parlor.”
“I thought 6he always went out
about this time in the afternoon.”
“I reckon she would have gone out
if she had know n you was coming y
she said so the other day.”
Just then the frontdoor opened and
the lady of the house appeared. They
