The bar-room stock and fixtures, at the Bar tow house, was sold out, at auction, on Satur day last. Our merchants are all receiving their new stocks of spring and summer goods, and our streets are daily thronged with the youth and beauty of the laud, who are iu quest of super iieial adornments to make them appear more beautiful, iu the shape of a uew grenadine or a duck of a hat, together with “Ribbons and strings, And other pretty things." Our morning nap is daily eased oil' by the spirited medley of a charming uncaged mock ing-bird perched upon an old oak tree, the sur vivor of many wintry blasts and beating tem pests, standing in our back yard. For years has this faithful minstrel honored our locality with its mellode&us lays. It comes as the liar' binger of peace and good will to welcome in the new-born day and iloral year. Our brass band is preparing to afford music for the approaching May festivals, if onr peo ple can pluck up spirit enough to afford the festivals. We nominate our Fair Grounds as a suitable place, and Saturday, the 3rd day of May as a suitable day, for our usual May-day Pic-Nic.— This point is aceessable to both pedestrians and equestrians—from the city and the coun try. Let us have a grand social reunion of hands and hearts on that day. Let every body iu the county consider him or herself in vited who will bring a well tilled basket. As our little city seems to be overlooked by all classes of itinerant showmen, can we not get up soma hoine-in ideamusements, to break the monotony with which wc are spell-bound. Won't somebody say a speech, sing a song, tell and anecdote, inaugurate a caudy-pulliug, quilting, corn-shucking, log-rolling, house raising, cut down a tree, burn a brush-heap, or do something to raise an excitement of some sort by way of a diversion? Ifuot, then we feel like retiring to a hole in the ground and pulling the hole in after us. Our little city is being visited by large num bers of strangers —some drummers—some vis itors—and many are prospecting for mineral •md farming lauds, with the view' of locating here or hereabouts.

Many o( our citlceos are anticipating a move to build a Cotton Factory in or near thi* city. The matter ha- been on the tapis lor some lime, and the more they think and talk about it, the more they desire its early consnmma tion. We are of the opinion that If the ball was set in motion to build it, upon a sub stantial basis, the citizens would readily take hold of it. We heard a gentleman say, a few days since that he would be one of twenty raeu to subscribe ¥ 1000 stock in it, and that gentleman b not a citizen of Cartersville, tho’ he is ol the county. How many more are of a like niinJ ? An old Cotton Factory monger was here a few days since, we learn, prospect ing tor a good site for a Factory, and will re turn shortly to try his hand towards getting U P the stock to build one. Let us, one and al', think seriously about this matter. If Cartersville ever intends to do anything towards internal improvements, now is the time to begin the work in good earnest. The erection of a Colton Factory at this point would, in all probability, give our.city an im petus that would warrant the expenditure of millions of dollars in manufacturing interests to follow, with a corresponding ingress of pop ulation. Let these opportunities slip, and she has reached the zenith of her glory, we awful ly fear. Thk Puettik.st Silk Hats is Atlanta are at John A. Doane’s, Whitehall street, near the Rail read crossing. The great want of our city is harmonious action among onr citizens, and the only way to secure this is for a lick to be struck in the right direction. We have had meetings and passed resolutions, but these have dissolved like frost before the sunbeams. If resolutions would build rail roads, factories, furnaces, col leges, etc., we would not be able to sleep at night for the roaring of machinery. We have tried resolutions long enough to Know that the more of them we adopt, the weaker be comes our cause. Let us try a few licks in a Cotton Factory, by laying the foundations, and let all other projects rest until one is fully con summated, and then take them up in detail and complete them. These enterprises will unite the interests of the citizens, and thereby secure harmonious action tor all time to come. Don’t get excited! The good goods, the pretty goods, the cheap goods are at How ard & R amsauu’s. OUR IRON RESOURCES. No interest in the South is, at this time at tiacting more attention than that of iron.— Our mountains and valiies are being daily scoured by prospecting parties, w ith the view ot establishing Iron Furnaces with which to smelt the vast beds of rich iron ore, in which this country abounds. Parties are even preparing to raise the crude ore and throw it upon the market. We hope to see Furnaces as numerous over this section as schools; and we further hope to see a large Rolling Mill es tablished in this city at no distant day, where it can be manufactured into bars, aud sold to thooc from whom we have for a eentujy been buying it. Howard *& Uamsaur beat every body for ch&ip. The Fountain Pump.—Several of our citi zens have supplied themselves with" this little water ap'aratus, for which Mr. T. K. Sproull of Stiles boro, is agent. It ouly costs Ten Dollars —will throw water fifty feet either up or down—is a good tiling with which to irrigate gardens, flower-yards, &c., also a nice floor sprinkler, and fine for shower-baths. A little boy or girl can successfully extinguish fire with it, even in a two-story-building, if the flames be not too far advanced for the volume of water it throws. A common blue bucket is used for the reservoir. Our citizens all should have one to protect each other against fire. Don’t spend your money foolishly.

"Whose Handsome House is that?— Such was the inquiry of the traveller, as he pflpscd an unusually well finished reside nee not many miles from here. The style of sashes, the clearness of the glass, the beauty of the blinds and doors, the neatness of the columns and balusters around the piazza, the perfect proportions of the brackets and mouldings, all struck the traveller with pleasure and admira tion. All the above were furnishid by Air. P. P. Toale, of Charleston, 8. C. Prices sent free on application. apr 1 Cheap! Cheap! ! CHEAP!!! Astound ingly cheap, at the Cheap Store of How ard & Rams vuit. The opening of the new road via of Church street in the direction of the old Etowah Iron Works, affords our citizens a most interesting route for pleasure rides and excursions, by re turning by the river route, or going the river route and returning by the new road. The scenery is grand and picturesque, aud will amply reward the visitor who makes the trip, if there is any music or poetry in liis or her soul. Cash ! Cash !! CASH!!! The greatest in ducements to cash buyers. Will not be beat! Prices guaranteed!

Mrs. Sto vall is a lady of taste and culture, and is do iug her utmost to make it a house of public entertainment of w hich our citizens shall feel proud, but we are sorry to learn that our citi zens are doing little or nothing towards en couraging her in this very laudable undertak ing. The most of the custom she is getting is transient. Go to Howard & Rajisauii’s. C'artersville is located in a section of coun try between the cotton, rice and sugar grow ing seetioufraud the grain, grass, and tobacco regions of the South. We can raise all the products grown iu either or both of these sec tions, not to as great perfection, it is true, but all these productions can be made to yield a handsome percentage here, while neither of the other two sections can grow- each others’ products so as to make their culture profitable.

We hope that Col. Pritchett may continue to have abundant suc cess in the honorable and useful calling, for u hicu he is well qualiified.

You had better give them a trial, Jim, they are capita! fellows —those Likbmans are—aud they will sell you goods cheaper than anybody else in the city. IRON ORE IN BARTOW COUNTY. The vast amount of iron ore contained in the hills and mountains of Bartow County, constitutes a source of wealth, which, we sup pose is greater than most of our people im agine. Some, years ago we met one of the prominent men of the Scute at a furnace on Stamp creek, when he remarked to us, that if the people of Pennsylvania were told how much iron there is in our section they would regard the story as extravagant and incredible. The fact is, it is inexhaustible, and if it could find transportation, it would no doubt supply the world to the end of time. Already this vast interest is being developed to some ex tent, but more enterprise and capital is needed in this direction. There is certainly no invest ment that would pay a more handsome profit. The ore is abundant aud cheap, and when manufactured its value is increased ten-fold. There are several furnaces in operation in the vicinity of our city, but if we had one still near er it would certainly add greatly to our growth and prosperity. VYe have ore of the best quality even within our corporate limits. In an attempt to dig a well ou our lot of seven acres, we struck a bed of fiue ore, after going down a few feet, and were compelled to aban don that place and to seek another where there were fewer obstructions. We have also found it imbeded in other places and suppose that it exists iu endless quantities. And this is but a drop in the bucket when compared to the millions of tons which lie concealed in the mountains around us. Now we ask why should not this vast treasure be developed and utili zed by our people ? Why uot build up man ufactories in our own midst and realize the profits and untold advantages ourselves ? We need other Railroads, and the surest way to get them is to create a demand and even a ne cessity for them ; and this can be surely done by building extensive manufactories and thus increasing commodities which will readily find a market iu other parts of the world. Our sec tion is peculiarly adapted to manufacturing purposes. We have mountains of iron, fine quarries of stone for building, extensive for ests, water power in abundance , and perhaps there is no country on earth where there can be raised a greater variety of vegetable produc tions. Our valleys can furnish food for teeming thousands, and our mineral and other resourc es it developed would afford employment for as many. Then let us invite capital, enterprise and immigration, and if a proper impetus be given, the wheels of prosperity and progress will move with accelerated velocity, and at no distant day wealth and independence will be ours and the inheritance of our posterity.

Miss Fanny Boston, daughter of Mr. F. A. aud Mrs. Fanny Boston, departed this life at her home, her father’s house, iu Bartow county, Ga., on the 2tith of November, 187:2, with consumption. Her alliiction was pro tracted for over twelve months, but she bore her suffering with a great deal of patience, scarcely ever heard to complain, and when asked if she was suffering she would say, “Nothing but weakness.” The subject of ibis brief notice was born in the then Cass but uow, Bartow couuty, Ga., on the sth of December, 1848. Fanny was a du tiful aud obedient daughter, a loving and much beloved sister, a well respected and highly es teemed friend, by all who knew her. She nev er made a public profession of religion, hut she was often seen at the altar for prayer. She was conversed with some ten days before her death, by the writer, on the subject of religiou and her future prospects. She said that she was not satisfied at that time, but she would try to give herself up fully to God, and try to claim the promises of the Saviour. Three days before her death she was conversed with on the same subject by the same person. She gave some better evidence, aud said that she was better satisfied; so with the evidence that is before us, and knowing her as we did, we are bound to conclude that she lias gone to a better world than this; and when the mes senger came she calmly aud peaceably jour neyed with him to the goodly laud where she will die no more, iu a laud of bliss where the weary are at rest. Fanny leaves her bereaved parents, several brothers and sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss. A Fuikxd.

V Stokely), whose maiden name was Sarah He len Allen, was born iu Coeke county, East Tennessee, May Ist, 1831. Iu her youth she proftssed laith in Christ, aud united with the Baptise Church, at Pleasant Grove, in said county. She was married to D. V. Stokely June doth, 1853; was the mother of nine children, five sons and four daughters— seven of which are now living, three sous and four daughters; two little sous having preced ed her to the Spirit Land. On account of the persecution of Southern meu, in East Tennessee, after the close of the late civil war, she willingly moved from Ten nessee in 1885, and located in Bartow county, Ga., and joined the Baptist Church at Aeworih. She soon became of very feeble health after ar riving iu Georgia, but her health had improved considerably for the last few years, until Mon day 17th of March, 1873, she w r as taken quite 6ick and had a physician called immediately ; but seemed to obtain no permaueut relief, but got worse all the time, until Sunday the 23d of March, when sue, with her friends, was con scious that she was but a short time for this world. She called her children to her bedside, kissed them aud bade them farewell, aud ad monished them to meet her in Heaven. She a iid she was going to Heaven ; that death had no terrors for her; for her friends not to grieve, it was all well with her. About seven o’clock that evening, in the presence of her excellent family physician (Dr. J. R. Humphries), her husband, children, brottier and many kind friends, she breathed her last, as calmly as go ing to sleep, and appeared sensible to the last breath.

These counterfeits are the universal tributes which worthlessness pays to merit. The sterling worth and popularity of the Charter Oak Stove is attested by this standard. “Cartersville is too small a place for so talented a minister as Mr. Burkhead, and who knows but this is a providential opening for him ? Local of the Atlanta Constitution. In other words the people of Car tersville are such ignoramuses that they cannot appreciate talent, and, therefore, providence being aware of this fact, so ordered it that Dr. Wil son was removed in order to afford an opening for a very talented minister to take his place, and, at the same time, enable him to bestow his labors upon the people of a city with a larger and more refined and intelligent class of population. Wonder if the “Local” is a specimen of that class, if so, we think that Mr. Burkhead had better go there as a missionary. We can assure the “Local,” if the city of Atlanta should be so fortunate as to secure the services of Mr. 8., that we have enough of the same sort left to supply several other destitute cities.
