THE undersigned, determined to give the

where they propose to pu. up everything in
their line in the neatest, most substantial and
durable raannor, and at prices that will
defy competition. They flatterthem
selves that they can and will do work, which,
in every respect, wiil compare favorably with
any work done North or South, both in
quality and price. Let no one ig
nore our work because it is done in the South,
nor our piiees, before giving us a tiini, for that
is all we ask to secure trade. Our work is all
warranted and that is a sufficient guar
antee to purchasers. Wc are determined to
build up a name and business in Cartersville
that will be a heritage to our children after
us, if prompt attention, good work, and mode

altogether, was under discussion.
Whether. the ernu’a will m.. ,• — |
.Cii ancient ropsi is a matLc «f aomet
doubt, but judging by the fact that
hniureds, and, if not to §ay
havfe iflready giy-eu aip the trees, and
roost on the ground, vve incline to the
opinion that when there arif no more
trees all will content themselves with a
bed on mother earth/ A gentleman
who lives, near the roost, aqtl who has
•a locust grove in front of his house, was
surprised one evening to see it black
with crows. For a time alt went on
well, but the roost became popular, and
every evening there was a wrangle to
see who would get it.
“As the desirable place, would hold
only a few hundreds, and there were
some thousands who nightly applied
ior lodging, the noise and confusion
became intolerable. Sometimes in the
middle of tire night an overloaded limb
would break, and then a battle would
ensue, lasting Hot unfrequently until
daylight. Fired out with the. din that
banished the idea of sleep, one night
the old fellow and his 9011 sallied out
with shot guns and slew some hundred
or more of their annoying visitors. So
next morning the crows Were all gone,
and returned no more to the grove.
‘‘The other evening- vve drove out to
the roost, and witnessed a sight we
shall not soon forget, ft was 4 o’clock
when we arrived on the ground, and
already tile crows had began to arrive.
At sun down they were coming from
all directions, and long lines continued
entering the woods from every quarter
until dark. Bach flock had a liler or
leader, who flew over the tree-tops un
til he found his roost, when the bead ed
the column lighted, the rest circling
around andhfodnd Winding themselves
about their chief. Only a few crows
would light on the same tree where the
iioss lighted, from which fact we judge
he is a sort of aristocratic personage
who does not associate with the com
mon herd, and that the persons who
slept on his tree were his royal family
and crows high with authority in the
dock.
“The crows did not seem afraid df
us, and were evidently used to human
visitors. We drove up quite close to
trees bending beneath their weight, but
these birds, usually so shy, did not
mind us much until any companion im
itated the explosion of a gun, when a
scene that beggars description followed
Instantly cries rose from all parts of
the wood, and thousands of crows flew
into the air, circling round and round
us, cawing vociferously. At times the
noise was so great, although sitting side
by side in the buggy, that we had ,o
speak loud so as to be heard by each
other. Having raised a great distress
with our black friends, we drove away,
but fo r miles we saw flocks in the air
still coming to roost. The rustle of
their wings as they were flying was
one of the most peculiar sounds ive over
heard. A large drove passing silently
over our heads, we paused to listen at
them, and could liken the noise to
nothing but the flutter of a million fans,
or the rumpling of vast pieces of silk.
‘‘When the firing continues for any
tifoe they will fly into the open fields
and there sleep until daylight. As
soon as the day begins to break, they
guit their roost and go, no one knows
wheie. It has been estimated a
crow will fly a hundred miles for Fa is
breakfast, and return after supper, and
we have not the least doubt that many
of the crows who sleep in Kentucky
are citizens of Ohio and Illinois. We
judge that one million crows sleep at
the Church Roost, and about the last
of March they will leave us and scatter
themselves over the northern states,
returning again next fall to spend the
winter with us.- A gcnltennn who bus
closely observed them for imnv tears,
( says that tfrey deer"r.sp in nr miters,
and that they are siowiv passing a*vaV,
and in time, like the poor Indian, wd!
become a defunct race on this conti
nent.

Already, for yoii,Spring is coming, Ihe

elements of prosperity, and we expect
ere long to hear that the advantages
which Bainbridge posSrS have made her

But Cartersville will not be a laggard
in the race. She built one hundred

But, Bainbridge, we miss the Jear
Ethsop. The places which kuew Cuf

An Excuse for £*.eoKisa, —In the
reign of James the I, of tobacco-hating
notoriety, the boys of a school acquired
the habit of smoking, and indufg. o it
night and day, using the most ingen
ious expedients to conceal the vice from
their masters, till one luckless evening
when the imps were all huddled to
gether round the fire of their dormitory
involving each other in vapors of their
own creating, lo ! in burst the master
arid stood in awful dignity before
them.
“[low now,” qunththe dominie to the
first lad ; “how dare you to be smoking
tobacco ?”
“Sir.” said the boy ,“I am subject
to headaches, and a pipe takes off the
pain,”
“And von ? and you ? and you ?” in
quired the pedagogue, questioning every
boy in his turn.
One had a “raging tooth (** smother
cholic ; the third a cough—in short, they
all had something.
“Now, sirrah,” bellowed the doctor
to the last hoy, “what disorder do you
smoke for ?”
Alas’ all the excuses were exhausted
hurt the interrogated urchin, putting
down his pipe after a farew'ell whiff and
looking up in his master’s face, said
in a whining, hypocritical tone: “Air,

KISS mi.
Avery funny incident occurred not
a thousand miles from this city a few
days since, 'and one which is too good
to be lost. One of of our ctlebtaied
composers has written a very pretty
song entitled ‘Kiss Me.’ Avery pwtiy
blushing maid having heard of the
song, and thinking she would get it
with some other, stepped into a music
store to make a purchase. One of t*’e
clerks, a modest young man, stepped
up to wait on her! The young l uly
llnew her veil back, and said :
‘I want ‘Ruck Me to Sleep.’
The clerk got she song am! put it be
fore her.
-Now, l \yanl the ‘Wandering Refu
gee/
"Yes, nta’an:’ said the clerk, bowing,
and in a lew initiates he produced the
‘Refugee.’
‘Now*. ‘Kiss Me/ said the young
lady, of course meaning the song above
mentioned.
The poor clerk’s eyes popped lire
almost, as he looked at the young lady
in utier lor he was no:
aware of the fact that a song by that
name had been written.
‘Why what did you say, Miss !’
‘Kiss Me !’said she.
♦I can’t do it; I never kissed a
young lady in my life,’ said the clerk.
And about that time a veil dropped,
a vouug lady left it* a hurry, dark ItU
sick, and dealer lost the 4 sde erf •time
music.

The Anoel Gabriel. —.Mv friend,
Major C., had an old darkey to whom
lie was much attached. One evening,
at a party, Peter from imbibing to free
ly of various mixtures, began dancing
around with a waiter containing some
ice and cakes, and soon became uproa
rious. Observing his conduct, the .Ma
jor publicly reprimanded him, and at
once dismissed him from the post of.
► waiter for the t railing *and appointed
another servant in his place. This last
stroke was too much for old Peter, and
;lie retired to his bed-room in dispair.
That night Captain K., a joily young
officer in the room adjoining Peter’s,
liearin'g sohs and groans in the next
I room, rose lo enquire w hat was the
matter, He opened the door of Pe
ter’s room and re.couuoitered.
Peter was kneeling by a window and
praying. Amid bis loud ciies the cap
tdin heard the billowing :
