Watermelons still continue to come
in from the country, by the wagon

prices.
foirge quantities of the finest honey
comb has found ready sale in this
market, this season. Our people are
turning their attention to the bee
culture.
It is a little singular that every
thing raised on a farm that is at all
marketable, finds sale in this market,
and yet the farmers are not happy.
The second crop of cloTCr i» being
mowed, and it is said to be as good

The blackberry crop in this region
this season, was unsurpassed, but is
rapidly drawing to a close. We see
none of the commodity offered for
sale on our streets. The blackberry
brigade has disbanded.
We have an abundant supply of
flies, which are very terrifying to
both man and beast. We don’t re
member to have ever before seen
common house flies so affectionately
inclined towards mankind. They
can’t rest for their caresses, day nor
night.
Query for our next Debating Socie
ty—What interest, if any, (outside
of individual) would the>-itizens of
Cartersville unanimously agree upon
and unitedly advocate?
Our young friends, A. P. Smith,
Devant, and others, are opening a
very fine slate quarry in Polk county.
We saw a sample of their slate, a few
days since, which, perhaps, is as line
as can be found on this continent.
We wish them abundant success in
developing this important resource.
On Friday morning last, the Reb
Bast' Ball Club, of Kingston, in an
swer to a challenge from the Etowah
City Club, of Cartersville, visited our
place to settle a little “misunderstand
ing’’ as to who were the champion
nine. The game was called at 4 p.m.,
with T. W. Baxter, formerly of the
Dixie Club, of Athens, as Umpire.
At the end of the fifth inning, by
mutual consent, the game closed.
The result was: Etowah City, 75;
Rebs, 23; Etowah City winning by
a majority of 52.
The Important Enterprises
our People are Contemplating.
—The Gainesville Railroad, North
Georgii and Ducktown Railroad,
Water-Works, Cotton Factory, and a
Male and a Female College. Now
which of these is to bo the first jOn
suimnated. We have now a Bank,
Car Factory, Town Hall, fire-proof
Ware-house, and the Cherokee It. R.,
all in full blast. But one of these
enterprises has cost the town any
thing, and that but little—the Town
Hall. We would like very much
to see the entire programme carried
out on this line, but are fearful that
it will not be, in our day. The air
castle work of the above eunumera
ted enterprises has been completed;
now, when will the real work be
commenced? What a pity that re
solutions will not accomplish this
end.
The Cartersville Car Factory and
Building Association, having recent
ly purchased additional machinery,
turn out from ten to fifteen thousand
icui ui urewiuu lemon a any. iTiey
are also prepared to supply the pub
lic with Doors, Blinds, Sash, Mould
ing, all kinds of Scroll Work, and
1 urning, as cheap or cheaper than
they can be laid down here from
New \ork. those wanting houses
built would do well to consult this
Association before letting out their
contracts. The attentiou of Railroad
men is invited to this Car Factory. In
the midst of the best yellow pine
timber, they put up cars that chal
lenge competition.
The political war is waxing warm
among our Cherokee county friends,
as will lie readily perceived from the
columns of our i>aper. The shells are
beginning to fiz and sputter around
us of Bartow county to a fearful ex
tent. In the meantime our own
county is beginning to marshal her
forces for the fray. We have never
seen so many of our citizens before
so regardful of the health of our fam
ily and so respectful to ourself. The
dear people are certainly becoming
more sociable and less selfish. We
are glad to see this indication of self
sacrifice on the part of many of our
citizens who have heretofore only
know n as at a great distance.
Remember the Excursion to At
lanta, on Saturday next.
The Etowah Dragoons have adopt
ed a uniform and the officers have re
ceived orders to hold an election and
they will have a meeting at Town
Hall, on next Saturday evening, 2
o’clock, at which time a general at
tendance of the members is request
ed. Important matters are to be
brought before the company. It is
expected that the company will be
armed and equipped, as the law di
rects, by the time our County Fair
comes off in October next, when it is
expected there will lie a grand pa
rade. Let old Bartow' present to the
eye of the Governor and the specta
tors a company worthy of the county
in which it is organized, and second
to no volunteer company in the
State. We have the material to
make it an honor to our people.

fruit crop is bountiful but not fine.
Considerable injury has accrued to the
unthreshed wheat. In some cases

It is the painful duty of the writer
te. record the death of James Robert
Hoffman, who fell asleep in Jesus,
July the 18th, 1872, near Liberty, Bed
ford county, Virginia, at the resi
dence of his mother. Age, 35years, 2
months and 12 days. Only a few
years ago this widowed mother was
called upon to pass through the deep
waters of affliction in the loss of a lov
ing husband, and ’ere time could heal
the wound, a loving and dutiful son
was snatched from her fond embrace.
But may she be enabled to say,
“ Though He slay me, yet, will I trust
in Him.”
James left his native State in Au
gust 1870, for Georgia, and there re
mained until a few months since,
when his painful illness precluded
him from attending his secular affairs,
and thence, he and wife came to his
mother’s, with the hope of his speedy
restoration to health, but alas! to
die!!
For several weeks previous to his
death, he was unable to lie down and
be refreshed in sleep, but during all
of liis long and painful illness, he did
not murmur, but bore his affliction
with Christian fortitude, and would
gently chide his loved ones, when of
fering sympathy, by saying, “It is the
Lord and He doeth all things well.”
He professed faith in Jesus, June
1870; was baptized by Rev. J. R.
Harrison and united with the Salem
Baptist Church, and on moving to
Georgia united with the Cartersville
Baptist Church, of which he remained
a most consistent member until his
death.
He was married Oct. loth, 1808, and
during his short married life, was a
most affectionate and devoted hus
band. His wife feels her loss most
keenly, but may she finds true com
fort in the religion which her husband
so fully exemplified in his life and
death. As death drew nearer, he had
his relatives and friends to assemble
around his dying couch, when he
talked to them of the comforts of the
religion of Jesus Christ, and of the
glories of Heaven, and asked each re
spectfully the question, “ Will you be
there?” and thus passed away, prais
ing God with his last expiring breath.
A mother, wife, two sisters, two
brothers and a large circle of friends
all left to mourn their irreparable loss,
but what is their loss is his eternal
gain.
Oil! there is beauty in the death of
the Christian, for it is written, “Bless
ed are the dead, who die in the Lord.”
Then dear friends, ye who weep for
the departed, be comforted and bear
your loss with Christian fortitude;
though we shall never meet our broth
er this side of Eden’s cloudless shore,
—— **»« Vult iwiuranw tl.nt fhd
dead shall rise.
’Tis dust to dust the atoms of the
body mingle with its mother earth,
but when the Archangel’s Trump
shall sound, each soul shall claim its
kindred dust, for God will watch over
and preserve it, and all the hills and
vaileys shall move a mass of life.
Then we shall see our brother “face
to face,” in anew robe, with a crown
of glory upon his head and palms of
victory in his hands.

SANITARY REGULATIONS.
We feel it to be our duty to call the
attention of the town authorities to
the importance of inaugurating meas
ures by which our town may lie
cleansed from filth. A scavenger
should lie employed to remove, du
ring this intensely hot weather, all
decaying and other offensive matter
from the streets and hack-yards, or
these things, we fear will prove to be
a prolific source of disease and death.
A few wirt loads of filth carried
away and a few bushels of lime sub
stituted in its plaee might prevent a
good deal of trouble.
The exercises of the Cartersville Fe
male Seminary will be resumed on
next Monday. It is very desirable
that pupils should begin the first of
the session, but they will be received
at any time and charged only from
the period of entranee.
The tuition is moderate, and the
course of study equal to that of the
highest collegiate institutions. As
the ladies who have the Seminary in
charge have leased and intend to re
tain its entire control for the term of
five years, they offer special advanta
ges for the completion of this course
under their care with thoroughness
and efficiency.
A Dark Picture.— lt is said that
there were about 2,000 suffrageites in
town on last Sabbath. A large por
tion of this number came on a rail
road “ ’ scussion ” from Atlanta, and
were met at the Depot by a concourse
of the same persuasion, who stay
here and in the region round about.
“ Meetin’ ” was the object of the con
vocation ; and our imp says they hold
a Quarterly Meeting at the colored
church here twice a week now!

Afraid of the Sun.—A gentle
man of the darkest hue was passing
with an umbrella over him near
where some little boys were at play,
the other day, when a mischievous
little fellow asked him if he was afraid
of being sunburnt. “Yes,” replied
the darkey, as he showed his ivory,
“ I is afraid of gittin’ black!”
To our Patrons and Friends in
Cherokee.
We expect to be at Canton on sale
day in August, when we will be glad
to meet with many of our old sub
scribers, and will be pleased to secure
as many new ones as possible. That
will be a good time to subscribe and
to renew subscriptions, and we hope
that all our friends who like our pa
per will avail themselves of a favora
ble opportunity of securing its week
ly visits during the campaign or
longer. It is expected that matters
of special, as well as of general, inter
est will, from time to time, be pre
sented for your consideration, and all
who do not wish to he “behind the
excitement ” should “ take the pa
pers,” and keep pasted in regard to
current events. It is our intention to
make the Standard A Express
second to none as a Family Journal,
and all we ask of the public is an im
partial examination of its claims to
the patronage of the people, and a
candid verdict as regards its merits.
SABBATH DAY REFLECTIONS.
N<>. l
PASSING AWAY.
One by one like autumn leaves they
fall. Almost every day brings us the
sad intelligence that some friend has
passed away to that mystic land, that
region beyond of which we know so
little.
Name after name is added to the
long roll of the departed, and the sad
truth is ever before us that we too are
“ passing away!”
Many a bright and tender being has
been with us for a little season, a mo
ment “sparkled was exhaled and
went to heaven.”
How transient was their stay! How
“ like the snow-flake on the river, a
moment seen then gone forever!”
Side by side with others have we
toiled and suffered for weary years,
and now, when we fain would greet
our old companions, as in former days,
we behold them no more, “ nor tread
the rough paths of the world by their
side.”
We all are passing away. Those
who have been mighty in tattle, who
have made nations tremble, and set
tled the fate of empires and kingdoms,
have fallen quietly into the grave, and
the world moves on as if they had
never been.
And those who have been lowly
born, dwelling in earth’s obscurest
dells, have passed the boundaries of
time, and together with the men of
might, they rest upon the lap of earth,
for
“ Death levels poverty and pride,
The rich and poor lie side by side
Within the grave!”
“ Passing away” sounds through
the corriders of time, and everything
around us, beneath us and above us
echoes the solemn sound and repeats
the mournful refrain ; and yet how
unconcerned we stand upon life’s
crumbling sands, or walk upon the
brink of death. The world is busy,
and the tumult of the multitudes is
like “the noise of many waters.”
All are seeking happiness and rest —
few are finding either, butall are pass
ing away, and giving room for those
who shall follow in the foot steps of
their deluded, disappointed predeces
sors. Thus generation after genera
tion “ passes awayfuneral knells
are perpetually sounding, the scene is
continually changing; and thus it
will ever be till the angel shall pro
claim the funeral of time; then will
close the wonderful drama, and life’s
last pilgrim will “ pass away!”

Editors Standard A Express:-- Tn
your issue of the 25th inst., I see a
(whole column) letter from J. o.
Dowda, which tears C. M. McClure’s
statement of the Canton District
meeting into small hits. While the
chairman of that meeting holds him
self guiltless liefore the conspicuous
gaze of the public, it is beyond a
doubt that there was “ wire-work
ing” in the machine. Let us suppose
that he knew nothing of it, which
we will not stop to criticise now. We
know by past experience that the
secretary of that meeting Is a gentle
man, and never has anything to do
with low, cunning trickery, if he
knows it. But the Canton gyre knew
it would not be possible to run that
machine successfully that day, unless
they had a blind. Lives there an
honest man in Cherokee county who
stood outside and watched the pro
ceedings of that meeting who can say
there was no fraud in it ? Any per
son could tell by the way that Capt.
Moss voted down any and all oppo
sition to the appointment of the
chair, that he was personally inter
ested in those men. Perhaps Mr.
Dowda done it by accident; but does
he deny that it was passed through
the crowd that none but the selection
of the chair could be elected as del
egates? If so, we ask him to think
the matter over again. When B. F.
McCollum rose up and denounced
the fraud of the meeting, why did
not our friend Dowda correct him in
the mistake? No, he let it pass un
noticed then, and now, because a few
dare to beard the trickery in the den
and vote for who they please, Mr.
Dowda tells us it meets its refutation
in the tally sheet. In a district
which has between one and two hun
dred voters, we would not like to
refer to a twenty-three vote tally
sheet to refute things for us. If Can
ton district had all turned out, likely
things would have been carried out
that was talked that day.
In order to show the people of;
Cherokee that there is something
wrong, let us say a little about the
Wild Cat meeting. Three days be
fore it convened, Capt. Moss and his
gyre invaded our peaceful shores.
They did not confine themselves to
the roads and houses, but the fields
(a strange place for some of them)
were visited, chairs were broken
down at places noted for anything
else but politics, the district was can
vassed through and through, and
what was all this for ? Why, Capt.
Moss w r as going around to tell the
natives that he would be at the court
ground with two gallons split-head
whisky, his favorite campaign bever
age, and that they must all come out,
(mind you, this visiting was all j
among the Moss men, and it seemed
that the Capt. knew exactly where ;
to go.) Well, the day come, and ■
since the day that Wisdom, Justice j
and Moderation -was sent out as a
motto for the people of Georgia, lias
such a crowd assembled at Wild Cat ?
There was a faction of all political
sects that ever has existed among us.
It was a variety crowd, from the
dearest lover of Bullock's policy up
to a sickly Democrat (all for Moss
and the whisky.) A gentleman who
goes for Moss because he has the '
promise of building a court house,
moves that Mr. (Moss’ right
hand man) takes the chair. He calls
for Bullock's left-hand man to help
manage the election, a full Moss
ticket is handed around, with in
structions that Ivy <i mo re, sets be put
out, one for Gault and one for Mc-
Clure ; they knew that with the help
of the whisky , and the other side di
vided, they were sure of success. A
gentleman who wore liis war disa
bilities out, and was pardoned with
out voting for Bullock , saw how
things were going, and moved a com
promise ticket, which was lost by
one of the Moss delegates voting no
four times. True Democracy just
then was disgusted and all hands
come away from the polls, with any
thing else but good feelings, candi
dates strolled around trying to tell
which side to electioneer with, but
the crowds were so near the same
number you could not get some of
them to say which side they belong
ed to. Cheers went up for the de
parted Bullock , because so many of
his old friends were once more to
gether. But we must close by say
ing to the people of Cherokee, cheer
up, by hoping that the ship of coun
ty will be guided right. Some of
our ablest men are at the helm—men
who run the machine successfully
long time ago. They tell us that
things must go right, and already
the signs of the times are better.
J ustice is on the wing, and ere long
she will alight, and then if a rene
gade from her is brought back, it
will be to punish him, and not to
make money on him. Then will the
cry of light tax go out, not for an
electioneering scheme, but because
things are managed with some econ
omy.
Mr. Editor, please excuse my sim
ple scrawl, for it is the best I can do
under the exciting circumstances,
and we folks up here have been kept
in the dark so long we want things
(now and in the futurej very plain.
More when necessary,
Done Come Away.
Editors Standard & Express: —ln
the last issue of your paper, I notice a
lengthy communication from a Jas.
O. Dowda, purporting to be a reply
to an article of mine that appeared
in your issue of the 11th inst.
He quotes at length from my com
munication, and then says: “ But for
the reference to me in the quotation,
and to the gentlemen elected dele
gates, I would not trespass upon your
space,” etc. Any one that will take
the trouble to read my article again
will see that the chair and the dele
gates are only alluded to, incidental
ly, while speaking of other things.
But he inquires, “ What does the
writer mean by ‘everything was ar
ranged beforehand.’ ?” I meant sim
ply this, that the delegates had been
selected and agreed upon before the
district meeting was convened, and
that there was an understanding as
to how the proposed delegates would
vote for Ordinary and Tax Collector
in the August Convention, and that
the proposed delegates should, if pos
sible, be carried through the District
meeting.
I may have been mistaken in this
matter; if so, it was an error of the
head, and not of the heart. Every
one who was present will form his
own opinion as to whether I had any
grounds for such a conclusion.
J udge Dowda was not in my mind
when I wrote that communication.
But the Judge wishes to display a
little learning. “ Every,” he says,
“is distribution,” and “thing,” he
supposes, in the connection used,
means “chairman, secretary, eom
mittee, resolution, mm ton? * etc. ’
Who does not know thfo f> lawyer
can make everything man almost
anything he wants it to.
The Judge places himself in the
category of “ tools ami appliances"
by his definition of “ thing,” and
then comes out in a long-. ertiele in
the newspaper, complaining of great
injustice, and calling on, me, as a
Christian gentleman, to D-raet what
1 had said about him. IK -avs some
thing about a charity thai thinketh
no evil. l>et him, In thy-exereise of
that charity, suppose that the word
“thing." in the eonie-'tion used,
means no such thing , as h>y first suje
posed it meant, then the truth i*
reached and his grievances are at an
end. *
“ But none could be ieceived or
voted for hut those appointed by the
chair, which,” he says, meets its
refutation in the tally sheet.” Well,
let us see how that is. Oi. taking the
chair, he suggested tin names of
James Stephens, F, M. Canid, and
Wilson M. Barton, who, roa motion,
were put in nomination fi r delegates
by a vote of the meeting. I don't
think any one objected. Mr. Grish
am then moved that all pres
ent vote for delegates, an;l that the
three receiving the highest vote he
the delegates. This motion was
voted down. The question was then
sprung as to whether it would be al
lowed for any to be voted for except
those suggested by the chair, and put
in nomination as stated. The chair
ruled that none others were entitled
to be voted for, unless they were put
in nomination as the ~irst three
had been. A gentleman^ then sug
gested three names, and moved that j
they be put in nomination. But the I
motion was rejected by a majority of
those voting. Three ether names
were suggested, but met with the
same fate. Now, in the face of these !
facts, the chair ruling tha'Uionecould
be voted for except they were put in
nomination, and a minority of those !
voting had twice refused io put any
others in nomination, I say, in view j
of these facts, I leave the*'reader to i
determine how far my*' statement;
that “ none could be received or
voted for but those appointed by the I
chair” meets its refutation in tne tal- j
ley sheet, indeed, there was no use j
of a tally sheet at all, no use for a bal-!
lot, as there were none others to vote j
for. And if there had bacn a hun- j
dred votes cast for persons outside of i
the nomination, as metiers then
stood, they could not, ofihght, have J
appeared on the tally sheet.
While I think tins rule was radi
cally wrong, I will do J uige Dowda
the justice to say that I TJ .n’t think
he intended to operate m favor or
against any of the candiortes.
After the Judge giveslfe his learn
ed definition of “ thing, H and puts it j
in “ plain English," so i , f p. common
minds can understand—having let
all the Solomon out, he turns iSauip- j
son, goes out and fells •* large tree, 1
splits it all to pieces,, dries it ini
the furnace, and, ha vinjgf'mnde ('very
thing ready for the master’s use, he
J stops, draws a long breath, and ex
i claims, “ How ridiculously absurd.” i
.So I think, Judge, and * -think also i
! that “ one can but lie impressed with j
i the belief that these cuti-fusions are
the result of some vague tiuicy,”
wither than drawn from anything
; contained in my communication.
Now, Messrs. Editors, so far as I
j am concerned, this mailer "is dismiss
ed. * • . .
I entertain no unkind feelings to
wards J udge Dowda—have no cause,
| that I know of, to indulge any—did
not know that Capt. Moss and 1 had
a quarrel on hand till 1 saw the
J udge’s article. I liavq no quarrel
for any one—never took lessons in

bda,. Read ! Read !! Read 11! —It
is well know'll to Doctors and to La
dies, that women are subject to nu
merous diseases peculiar to their sex—
such as suppression of the Menses,
Whites, Painful Monthly Periods,
Rheumatism of the Back and Womb,
Irregular Menstruation, Hemorrhage
j or Excessive “ Flow,” and Prolapsus
! Uteri, or fall of the Womb. The pro-
I session has in vain, for many years,
j sought diligently for some remedy
that w'ould enable them to treat these
diseases with success. At last that
remedy has been discovered, by one
|of the most skillful physicians in
I Georgia. That remedy is
DU. .?. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE KECILATOB.
Suicide !—At the present low price
of wheat it is financial suicide to
spend your money at these high
priced credit stores when you can get
the same goods twenty per cent,
cheaper at a cash house. You can
save this much on nearly all kinds of
goods, and more than that on a great
many kinds, by buying your goods
from Howard & Ramsaur. Those
who are selling their wheat now, and
making their summer purchases,
should bear this fact in mind. Go to
Howard & Ramsaur’s and you wilt
save money , sure.
It is a mark of the unsuccessful man, that
he invariably locks his stable door when the
horse has been stolen. This sort of wisdom
never thinks about bodily health until it is
gone. But just as much as any disease has be
comes seated, the power of the system to resist
and throw it off is weakened; hence time is all
important. For dyspepsia, all diseases of the
liver, stomach, skin and kidneys, and all that
begin in vitiated blood, do not wait until the
trouble is confirmed, but attack it by a timely
use of Dr. Walker’s California Vinegar Bit
ter-. f-1-41.
Beyond a Doubt.
More diseases are the result of the dcrt:ogo
me ut of the Liver than from any other cause.
When that organ is diseased, every part ot the
system sympathises with it, and general pros
tration and decline is the result. The best, saf
est and speediest remedy' for Liver i bmpl tint
and all the diseases that folh yv. is Tl'TT’s
VEGETABLE LIVER RIELS, they are pecu
liarly adapted to the South. They are sold by
druggists everywhere.

believer that there was no remedy for the com

half ago, us an experiment, I tried your \ ege

liml that they accomplished all the results, and
more besides of Blue Mass or Calomel, without
any of their bad effects. I was always an unbe-
I liever in Patent Medicines, bat can say this for

I have not taken a particle of mercury in any

one, and one that those yvho are in the habit of

A Perilous Season.
Gloriou- and delightful as the Sum in > w earn
er is. it- tropical heat i- a severe trial to tin-vi
tal powers. Even the strongest are somethin-*
prostrated by its effects. The common phrase
applied to this condition of the body is‘‘gener
al debility.” Now, general debility arises from
and includes a variety of ailments. The liver
is more or less affected, the bowels are cither
constipated or too much relaxed, the stomach
but half performs the work of digestion, the ap
petite is poor, and the spirits depressed. This
is what is called general debility. It is a
disarrangement iif all the nhyTtcal function*,
and requires »•- a remedy a medicine that will
regulate them a Jiostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters is specially adapted to this purpose. Its
general operation is not coullued to asingie or
gan. If the liver is affected, it restores its tone,
if the stomach is torpid, it regenerates it. If
the nerves arc tremulous and weak, it braces
and reinforces them. If the mind, which ever
sympathizes with the body, is gloomy and des
pondent, it relieves the difficulty, ' and soon
brings the whole mechanism of the body iato
harmony with the laws of health.
There is no civilized nation in the Western
Hemisphere iu which the utility of Ilostetter’s
Stomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective, and an
ti-billions medicine, i- not know n and appre
ciated. Throughout the Tropics it is consider
ed, both by the people and the professions, the
standard specific. While it is a medicine for
all seasons and all climates, it is especially
suited to the complaints generated by the
weather, being the purest and best vegetable
stimulant in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made ot acrid and dan
gerous materials, which unscrupulous parties
are endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their
name is legion, and the public bus no guaran
tee that they ure not poisonous. Adheie to the
tried remedy, Hostetler’s Bitters, sold only in
