Editors Standard <fc Express:
In a recent number of the Atlanta
Constitution , Hon. J. H. James an
nounces himself a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Govern
or. To those who are acquainted
with Mr. James, no commendation
is necessary. Ills friends do not claim
that, in statesmanship, he is theequal
of Mr. Toombs or Mr. Stephens, or
that, as a soldier, he ranks with lx>e
or Jackson; but they do claim that,
for sound common sense, practical
business habits, and acquirements
and sterling integrity and devotion
to the interests of his State, ho cer
tainly has no superior among the
known aspirants for Governor of Ga.
In the common acceptation of the
word, Mr. James is no politician ; he
is totally unacquainted with “the
ways that are dark and the tricks j
that usually icin" of the modern states- j
man. He is surrounded by no set of
men whose bread depends on his e- j
lection to office or retention in office. !
He commands no patronage by the
distribution of which to appeal tothe
patriotism of the office-seeker. He
possesses no power or political secrets
with which to silence the unfriendly
criticism of the public press; nor has
he any reason to shrink from any im
partial criticism. He does not deal
in the “glittering generalities” of
promiscuous promises and play with
the anxious hopes of expectant office
holders. Put he comes before the
people as an upright, intelligent, pub
lic-spirited citizen, and asks them to
consider his fitness for the position.
His character, his qualifications, his
habits, are before them; by these let
the people judge him. He possesses
the qualifications which the times
and tiie office demand. With your
consent, we propose, as soon as we
can command the leisure, to review,
in an impartial but free and indepen- j
dent spirit, the merits and preten-.
sions of the known candidates. The
people have the right to discuss and
to understand these merits and pro-:
tensions; and when they are candidly
and impartially discussed, we will be
able to make our selection.
Mr. James and his friends invite j
discussion, and do not fear compari- j
sons. Bartow.

Dear Sir:— l see a communica
tion published in the Rockmart Im -
porter, taken from the Cartersville
Standard & Express, over your
signature, setting forth the impor
tance to the citizens of Cartersville,
and of the counties through which
the road would pass, of building a
Railroad from that place to Duck
town. I think you are on the right
line, regarding it one of the most im
portant routes yet to be developed.—
Your letter is full of facts and sound
reasoning, and I think it will do
much to encourage the people of the
'section of eonntry through which the
road wouid pass. I know those ;>eo
ple want this road, and I know they
need it as badly as any people in
Georgia.
It would be a fine opening for cap
italists to build the road and invest in
the minerals which so richly abound
all over that country.
The Ducktown Mining Company
are endeavoring to build the Cleve
land & Ducktown Railroad. Indeed,
as I am informed, they have already
proposed to the East Tenn., Va. &
Georgia It. R. Companies, that if they
will furnish iron, lay track and equip
the road, that they—the Ducktown &
Cleveland Company, will grade the
road—commencing immediately.
The distance from Ducktown to
Cleveland is thirty-nine miles.
The propriety of extending it back
to the Coal Fields —a distance of 25
or 30 miles—is also tieing discussed.
Extending to the Coal Fields it would
tap the proposed Cincinnati South
ern Railroad route, which, as you
understand, would make it a most
important line of Road, and if nar
row guage the more economical, effi
cient and profitable. After a few
weeks i can be at your service on
short notice.
Respectfully and truly yours.
R. M. McCLATCHY,
Civil Engineer.
C’ARTERSVILLE, GA., )
July 2d. 1872. >
i 'Maj. It. B. McClatchy, Civil Engi
| neer.
Dear Sir:—l have your favor of
j 22d. inst., three days since. With
| press of correspondence, please excuse
delay.
I am gratified that you, and many
others, express the opinion that my
letters will be useful to the enterprise
of penetrating the country referred
to, and eventually reach Ducktown
by rail.
I am now preparing the charter,
which will doubtless be obtained du
ring the approaching session of the
Legislature—ten days off.
A charter will also be had, incor
porating Cartersville as Etowaii
City, with authority to make a bond
subscription of some $200,000 to this
Road. Happily our citizens, in this
enterprise, are neither lukewarm nor
divided—but in favor of pressing on
with the work, as the one of first im
portance to all the interests involved—
assured that it may be built, and will
be built speedily, and be one of the
; best pay ing Hoads yet built in the State.
Fortunately for this occasion, our city
! has no bonded or other indebtedness,
her population energetic and thrifty,
: resources ample, and yearly increas-
I ing. In the midst of the finest agri
! cultural portion of the State, Cartcrs
| ville, as one man, feels that she is
| strong, both in position and resources',
i that for all practicable good works,
[ she has the thews and muscle, and a
hearty good will. In this great
work, so beneficial to all concerned,
the subscription is a benefit conferred
—is really a speculation, and not
burthensomo in view of what may
be demonstrated, but to say nothing
of the increase of business which this
Road must bring to her, say nothing
of the increasing population, nothing j
of the increasing value of property,
nothing of the increase of manufac
tures, trades and professions, nothing
of the aggregate increase, and conse
quent increase of revenue to the city,
and yet it is a speculation. And
why ? Recause it strengthens her as
a thrifty and attractive centre, such
as capital invariably seeks. Really,
however, not only is the city specu
lating, but so also is every commer
cial, manufacturing and professional
interest. The property holder, the
builder, and every Branch of mechan
ical interest, and every industrial in
terest—the press, the clergy, the
butcher, and the undertaker, as well.
All speculate, or if the expression is
preferred, all are materially and sol
idly benefitted. The city is not bur
thencd, because from the nett earn
ings of the Road, the semi-annual
dividends come, whereby she meets
her semi-annual interest. In like
manner 5 per cent, per annum goes
to the sinking fund, or Bond Re
demption Account. At maturity of
the bond, say 20 years, the annual 5
per cent, sinking fund is ample for
bond redemption, etc., and thus the
city speculates. She holds the
amount of her bond subscription in
the stock of the Road, and continues
to receive her semi-annual dividends.
In view of the magnitude of the in
terests to be promoted by this road,
it would seem important to reach
Ducktown at the earliest practicable
time. From careful consideration it
may be seen how the cooperation of
the Ducktown Mines with us might
facilitate other connections, alike im
portant to the Mines, and those inter
ested in carrying this work forward
to speedy completion.
With the road constructed and
equipped to Ducktown, by the actual
resources of the Company, the line
thence to Cleveland, and to the Coal
Fields beyond, could be built on the
bonds and stock of the Company
alone, or with very little outside aid.
Every eflfort will be made to get the
charter through with the least delay.
Immediately thereafter the engineer
ing will probably commence.
In conclusion I take occasion to say
I am glad we are agreed in the com
manding importance of this line, and
that it should be none other than a
three foot gauge Itoad. If run by
Ducktown to Cleveland, thence to
the Coal Fields, there is no unoccu
pied line of 130 miles in the South
superior to it.
Respectfully yours,
Robt. A. Crawford.
The Narrow Gauge Railroad Con
vention in St. Louis.
This body organized on Wednes
day. Col. Hulbert, of Georgia, was
temporary secretary. He was also
made one of the permanent Vice
Presidents. Erastus Wells was
made permanent President. Col.
Hulbert was also placed on the Com
mittee to prepare a comprehensive
report on the merits and demerits of
the narrow gauge.
Mr. Greenwood, of the Denver &
Rio Grande Narrow Gauge, said 117
miles in operation; that this road
had capacity equal to a broad gauge;
the average speed was 25 miles an
! hour; its loaded freight cars weighed
; less than broadgaugeempty ones; no
I accidents had happened; the cost of
building was 60 per cent of the broad
! gauge cost.
i Col. Hulbert made a speech, show
ing Georgia resources, and how nar
l row gauge would develop them.

! Narrow Gauge Railway Securities.
Narrow Guage Railways are rapid
ly gaining favor, not only among
praelical railway men, but with cap
italists. The securities of these roads
are eagerly sought after, and are now
in many cases commanding a premi
um. \V r hile broad Gauge bonds are
selling all the way from 60 to 85, the
narrow gauge is in the 90s, at par,
and in some instances, at a premium.
In Canada they have about 400 miles
of narrow gauge railway in process
of construction, with grades of 104 ft.,
and curves of 350 ft., with rails from
25 to 30 lbs. per yard. The means of
these roads are twenty year bonds at
; G per cent.
They have thus far been sold at 100
ito 104. -These bonds are mainly city
I and township bonds along the lines*
[ of these SM,
Messrs. Editors.—ls you should
be favorably impressed with the ob
ject of this communication, sufficient
ly so to allow it a place in your val
uable paper, I will adopt this method
of inviting public attention to a few
points of local interest, bearing, in the
opinion of the writer, upon the future
of your town—affecting to no incon
siderable extent several important
interests to this community. It is
pretty generally conceded that the
country lying contiguous to the W.
& A. Railway, is now the rising por
tion of the State; that no part of this
particularly favored section, taking
everything into account, possesses
any advantages over your own coun
ty of Bartow.
It is likewise said and believed by
I many good people residing abroad —
and they are right in this — that your
own town of Cartersville exhibits, in
spite of the hard times, more signs of
life—expansion, enterprise and pros
perity—than any other town in the
, State, of double its population. If
this is true, and no one can deny it,
who has visited other towns in the
| State, within the last two years,) then
there must be many solid reasons for
it, some of which propriety may al
low mentioned here. First, the town
is favorably located as to Railway fa
cilities, the climate is good enough,
the country will compare favorably
with any other as to health, the pro
ductiveness of this soil, its adaption
to a variety of crops, is now entire
ly beyond dispute. The mineral
wealth yet stored away in the hills
hard by, together with the recogniz
ed fact that this is, and will be for all
time to come, preeminently a white
man’s country, these facts, (and there
are yet many others) all conspire to
make this section of country very de
sirable, especially so to many good
people who are now anxiously look
ing around for favorable, permanent
locations. When the eyes of the sev
eral sections of the State are turned
toward our community, for these reas
ons, or for others equally good, it is
easy to see the population will in
crease, the county will fill up, and
that too in a day not too far in the dis
tance for many of us to hope to live
to see.
Here then, we have a solid and
surely laid foundation for future pros
perity, for a rising, thrifty, enterpris
ing town—yes, even a city.
If all this is true, (and who will at
tempt its denial ?) it is certainly wise
in your present population, if such
growth and prosperity should be de
sirable, to do all in their power, in
every legitimate way, to build up
her good name abroad, as well as fa
cilitate her enterprise and steady
march of expansion. Should we not
eagerly take hold of these advanta
ges? A city is offered to us. Let us
name it at once, and go on to fortune.
Other people have done so, under cir
cumstances far less favorable. Now,
to further all these objects by the
same means, and at the same time,
would it not be a move in the right
direction to apply to the Legislature
soon to assemble, for an amended
charter of incorporation, giving to us
a City Government, with other nec
sesary city privileges, and that too
under anew name, say Etowah City,
or some other euphonious name,
without the appendaee of ville, burg,
or burough. These terminations cer
tainly indicate that there was no
other way to stop on this line. As
we are not apt to like that which is
forced upon us, let us take anew
route altogether. For it is always
expected that a young, beautiful and
growing city, in which people are in
vited to settle, for business, for pleas
ure, or even for ambitious notoriety,
should assume a name equal, at least,
to its pretensions; not connected with
Cartersville, Cartersoats, Button’s sta
tion, or any other half slang name,
that seems like making sport of these
pretensions, and asking others tojoin
us in it. Take a clear name referring
to no paramount title over our heads,
or acknowledging that we are a com
munity of squatters.
Can there be any objection to a city
Government? Would expenses be
increased in any way? Such a gov
ernment would cost no more than it
does to live as we do. The streets
would certainly be no harder to work,
the police regulations neither harder
to keep up, nor would these officers
be harder to pay off.
Aldermen, it is well known
never think of wanting pay, even for
distinguished services, while at posts
of honor; and there is always suppos
ed to be plenty of good men in every
community who would pay no in
considerable sum to be installed into
the Mayor’s office. Some people nat
urally breathe easier, any way, when
covered by the Judge’s ermine. But
little noise is made now-a-days about
the burthens of office. Ah! verily it
has been found out that the chair of
authority is always cushioned. Some
of this patriotism could be brought
into power, and yet leave the ordina
ry amount of buttons on the clothes.
How then, could there ever be a
demand for higher taxation, especial
ly if the act of incorporation should
not interfere with light, air and wa
ter, leaving these about as they are?
Can there be any well-founded objec
tion to changing the name of the
town? Would it not be to our ad
vantage, either at home or abroad?—
Many of your best citizens favor such
a change. They are, like the writer,
silly enough to believe much depends
upon it. A name is not an empty
sound, as some may lightly suppose.
A favorable judgement by the wisest
of us, is often based upon mere eu
phony, in this respect; and condem
nation as often left to depend alone
upon a sound that splits the drum of
the ear.
To show up the power and influ
ence of a mere name more fully, and
to bring the effect nearer home, let us
enquire how you would like to be
called on to vote for a man for Gov
ernor of your own loved State, hail
ing from the wire-grass and frog re
gions below, by the name of Squire
Friddleshin, of Tadpoleville, or J udge
Nizzlebuzzard, of Tallertown! Such
a request would cause both your eyes
to start from their spheres—your
hair to stand on end. Nausea and
disgust would cry out within you for
open air, and demand no Governor
at all. Why, a man would quit his
party before he would allow such a
name, even on a clean paper, to be
poked down one of his hollow trees
with a ramrod.
There is just as little poetry in the
name of Greeley as our people are go
ing to stand. Some of them are curs
ing, and in the camp there are signs
of rebellion. Does a name really
mean nothing? Come a little nearer
home still, and let, us see. Suppose
you were looking out a place on your
iuap tor a borne, and should find a
country well situated as to latitude,
water privilege, railway facilities—
having a good soil and fine schools.
Suppose you should find that this
otherwise delectable spot lay on
Smoke l*iver, in ’Por-sumtail county ;
that the town where you would have
to trade and post-mark your letters,
wherein diplomas are proposed to he
issued to your daughters, should bear
the name of Goggle-eye; that the
Rev. Messrs. Pealeg A Ashheel
Quaddlebung controlled the literary
department; that the civil affairs
were managed exclusively by his
Honor, Mayor Felix Clodpelter;
would you ever think of going to
look at this place to see whether you
really wanted to move there or not?
No, you would get your map again,
and look out a home in any other
part of the world, or wait for the town
to change its name, and for the peo
ple to move away; and you would
act wisely. A man’s children raised
up with such surroundings would
grow haiir-lipped. His dogs would
drop their tails, and point their bris
tles toward their ears, from pure ill
nature.
| But if a name means nothing, why
not move there, carry your dogs, and
raise your children ? Bring this mat
i ter of a name, with its more delicate
| influences, entirely home. Bring it
to the parlor, to the best of silk and
crinoline, and suppose again you
were a young man, (I mean a hand
some young man,) and should chance
to be at some fashionable watering
place, commencement, or in attend
: ance upon a session of the Legisla
' ture, and should be suddenly intro
j duced to a young lady, as beautiful
as the tints of the rainbow; as sweet
as morning’s loveliest breath; with
eyes so heavenly the very motion of
which should collapse and expand
your soul, ns a small bellows in the
hands of a strong man. Let the name
of this nymph-like form fall upon
your ear, Miss Drewsiller Hump
rump, of Boxankle! Y'ou would he
staggered, shocked, as though a man
had struck you from behind a tree,
or you had met a half-opened door in
a dark room. The sensation would
be something similar to swallowing
a ‘yaller-jaeket’ on your honey-coinb.
Why if you had fallen in love at
first sight, and had gone deaf, dumb,
and blind on it, and that too under a
rising thermometer, you would not
publish your marriage to this wo
man. Why not, if a name means
nothing? There would be a smile, it
is true, in one corner of the mouth of
the whole community, and perhaps a
little vermillion in the region ofyour
own shirt collar; but what of all that
if a name means nothing?
No, Mr. Editor, a rose would not
be found practically to smell quite so
sweet by any other name. At any
rate you could give it such a name as
to rule it out of everybody’s garden.
Now while it is not pretended that
Cartersville is a shamefully ugly
name—not bad enough, it is true, to
make the ground crack open and fall
in, yet it does not strike the ear as a
place of note, commercial importance,
thrift or enterprise. Let us get a lit
tle further away from the idea that
this is a place once started to be built
up at the cross-roads, near the corner
of Mr Carter’s old field. Everybody
has not been to Cartersville. They
all don’t know what sort of a place it
is. While it bears its present name
some may never know.
Did a foreigner ever ask you for
the number of inhabitants? When
you told him, was he not astonished,
as though a limb had fallen upon
him ?—all for the reason that our name
by common consent makes us under
stood abroad, just as you would be if
you were selling a pony, and should
say: ‘he is a pretty good fellow, not
large, not fast, not fine-looking, not
suitable for draft, plowing, double
harness or saddle, hut answers a good
old fashioned purpose in shafts, if the
burthen is light, and a woman or a
hoy will drive, and nobody in a hur
ry.’ In market or out, would you
bid for this pony ? Just as soon as a
stranger would move to a town where
the very name was snggestive of a
small place and hard up people.
Let us get out of these shafts. Let
us imitate the example ot Atlanta, i
and strike off the ville. Martha was i
surely as clever as the old gentleman !
Carter ever claimed to be. Neither
her nor her heirs, so far as we are in
formed, ever made any fuss or objec
tion to changing the name. And
Martha is still remembered. And
Atlanta seems to be doing well after
the second christening. Let us as
sume a name that necessarily means
something like what we pretend—
that we are marching on. We talk !
about laying track on the Ducktown
road. What a name! Building col
leges, making a canal, and opening
up the Etowah for shipping—while |
all of these things may come to pass
—and we would rejoice at it—yet j
long before these shall transpire, if
the people will do right, you may
expect to see this same town under
her new name, leaving the cross
roads at Cartersfield swiftly—like a
doctor when called to a rich patient—
and coming up out of the wilderness,
leaning on her own strong industri
ous arm, marching to the music of
the engine, the mill, and the ham
mer. ___ Citizen.
DANGERS AHEAD.
Editors Standard <£• Express:—Hav
ing sent two manuscripts of a politi- |
cal type to your office for publication,
and as yet no appearance, I am dis
posed to inquire if you intend to en
ter the canvass purely ex parte f I
believe all the facts and arguments
pertaining to the present political sit
uation should be fairly presented to
an enlightened people.
I seriously apprehend error at Bal
timore, and we should be prepared
for every possible contingency that
may arrise. I want to be right, my
self, and want the Democracy to ac
quit itself wisely and patriotically. I
have read the articles and speeches of
; some of the greatest thinkers of the
day, but have Jived to learn that
great thinkers make great mistakes.
I perceive in nearly all a strong dis
position to do too much. To concede
every thing, and merge Democracy
into Republicanism. Men young in
; Democracy, and who say they are
i not, nor never were Democrats, per se,
have nothing to l<x>se. Such men can
! form an alliance, upon conventional
stipulations, with Greeley, that they
may elect Grant, but what will be
come of Democracy as a distinct live
organization? I distrust a leader
that says he is no Democrat. The
danger is, that when Greeley is elect
ed, those who are merely cooperating
with Democrats, will demand a re
ward of the New Departure party,
and say “/ never was a Democrat. —
Let the Democracy cooperate with
Greeley as auxiliary or subbidary,
but neverby subsidized. Hold on to (
the cognomen, the distinct organiza- !
tion, untrammelled with alliances.—
So sure as the Baltimore Convention
formally indorws, ratifies, or nomi- J
nates Greeley, it sounds the death
nell of the unterrified Democracy.— j
i Not its elements, for they are indis-1
tructible, hut the embodied Democ- I
; racy. Beware of anew party, anew I
name , in order to complete fusion.— !
; The Democracy alone conserves the j
; elementary principles of constitution
al liberty. Whenever we change our
name, we will divest ourselves of
what remains of true Republicanism.
Let every Democrat who is worthy
of the name, vote for Greeley, hut
vote as an individual patriot, to save
the country from inevitable ruin, but |
not as an organization. The Democ
racy is already claimed by Radical
ism in advance. The danger is in
doing formally and unnecessarily,
| what ought to be done virtually, in
directly, and substantially, on princi
ples o f non-committalism. Come
boldly to the rescue, but not under
articles of eopartneaship. Send vol
untary aid, but keep your honor ; co
operate, but preserve the independ
| ence and integrity of the party.

Editors Standard & Express: —Just
returned from Newton, Morgan,
! Greene, Walton and Clarke counties.
I Crops promise well. It strikes me
i there is a larger breadth in cotton this
year than usual; certainly riot less.
Crops seem well cultivated. From
Social Circle to Monroe, in Walton
county, saw but one crop illy culti
vated. Lands in those counties, com
pared to Bartow bottoms, are thin ;
but the yield of wheat and oats has
been good this year. There has been
much less rain there than in Bartow;
in Clarke and Walton rain is needed
considerably. There was an election
in Clarke on the 29th June, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of
the negro Representative, Richard
son. Dr. Durham, an old and sub
stantial citizen, was elected by a very
large majority. That ends negro and
scalawag domination in Clarke. That
certainly is a glorious result. There
is one thing I will call your attention
to, Messrs. Editors, and that is, that
the candidates have established the
wholesome custom in Clarke of
thrashing the Editors. Mr. Lump
kin, the opponent of Dr. Durham, in
furtherance of that proper reputation,
administered to the editor of the
Banner a most hearty beating. I will
not pretend to approve the conduct
of the candidate in this particular in
stance, for I think he exceeded prop
er bounds, but merely to commend
the general principle. If the practice
should he thought appropriate in
Bartow, I, personally, desire to plead
my quaker proclivi ties, and leave my
friend Sam Smith in the considerate
hands of Tom Tumlin, Dave Stokely,
John Branson, Joe Neal, and others,
to get what he richly merits.

CONGRESSMAN FOR STATE
AT LARGE—HON. LEWIS
TUMLIN SUGGESTED AS ONE
OF THE CANDIDATES.
Messrs. Editors:— The Atlanta San,
in Saturday’s issue, calls attention to
the fact that the two new Congress
men allowed to this State by the Ap
portionment act passed at the last
session of Congress, will probably be
nominated by the Convention on the
24th., and elected from the State at
large. If this course be p ursued there
can be no doubt that the nomineees
of the Democratic Convention will be
elected. I suppose it will be conced
ed on all hands that North Georgia is
entitled to one of the members, and
the only question then to be deter
mined, so far as this portion of the
State is concerned, is, who shall re
ceive the nomination? Hon. Lewis
Tumlin is suggested as a gentleman
well qualified for the position, com
petent to the discharge of the high
trust imposed upon a member of Con
gress, and in every way worthy and
deserving of the honor implied. Col.
Tumlin is a representative man of
that class of our citizens whom we
ought to take special pride in honor
ing. He is a tried and true Demo
crat ; he is a man of an acute and
comprehensive intellect, of extraor
dinary business qualifications, of
large and varied experience, always
liberal-minded, and of great benevo
lence ; he is a self-made man—having
begun life without other capital than
an active intellect, a genial nature,
and an honest purpose to go to work
to better his condition in life, and be
ing now probably the wealthiest citi
zen in North Georgia. Col. Tumlin
is a farmer, the large majority of his
large property consisting of farming
lands, and stock for cultivating them
—his“interests being thus identical
with those of the great majority of
our people. His property was accu
mulated, not by engaging with
“rings,” in disreputable speculations,
but by lioneest, untiring, energetic
work, and it cannot be denied that
his management of it in the past and
in the present shows the rarest busi
ness qualifications. He is not an of
fice seeker, but he would doubtless
accept this high trust as he would
undertake to perform any other du
ty. Moreover Col. Tumlin has spe
cial claims upon our own citizens,
greater perhaps than any other man
in North Georgia. He has a large
amount of capital invested among us,
and gives employment to many la
boring people. He has done more
perhaps than any other man towards
building our Court Houses and
Churches, establishing our Schools,
and supporting our poor. Again, 1
repeat, our people ought to take pride
in honoring such men as Col. Tumlin.
He is honest, capable and worthy,
and I hope his claims will not fail to
secure from the Convention the con
sideration they merit.

The Continuation Portable Fence is a
portable fence that will not blow down , nor will
cattle or horses push it over, but can be readily
taken down and changed from place at pleasure
All portable fences I have ever seen or heard
of heretofore would blow down, and that is the
very reason this has been invented and patent
ed, and now offered for sale. But the impres
sion prevails that a portable fence must needs
blow down. This has been severely tried by
wind and stock, and in no case lias it failed.
Being well satisfied that it will stand any
thing short of a hurricane, I make this
PROPOSITION :
The first man that shall find his fence a fail
ure— blown down— having a farm right, and the
fence made according to directions and proper
ly put up. shall be entitled to a right lor a
whole county without charge, or If helms
purchased and paid for a county right, he shall
be entitled to Ten Counties Free of Charge,
in either or both cases to make their own se
lections in Georgia or any other territory not
disposed of. Application must be made with
out delay, with reasonable evidence that the
fence did actually blow over, and that it was not
in consequence of the sill slipping, or of the
ground giving way under the sill, and I will
assign and set over to him, a right for a whole
county, or ten eounties, gratis, as above spec
ified.
The right to tliis fence has been secured by
Letters Patent for the United States, dated
April 16, 1872. (to run 17 years) and I am fully
authorized to sell Farm, County and State
rights.
Please examine a specimen of this fence on
the public square near the depot at Cartersville
