CARTERSVILLE, GA,:
THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1873.
Why are clergymen like brake
men ? Because they do a good deal
of coupling.
A writer asks, in an agricultural
paper, if anyone can inform a poor
man the best way to start a nursery.
Certainly, get married.
A young man in Tennessee was
presented with a fancy pen-wiper by
his sweetheart, and wore it to church,
thinking it was a cravat.
The Bt. Louis Repuplican recom
mends an ambitious debating society
in Kansas to take as its next subject
“ Which is the butt end of a goat ?”
The Saturday Review says: “There
is always one side of a man’s charac
ter which will bear the light, and on
which the funeral sermon can expi
ate comfortably.”
Thin party (to street urchin):!
“Boy, what do you suppose that dog j
is following me for?” The youngster j
cast a knowing look at him and read- j
ily replied: “Guess betakes you for -
a bone.”
Uh! said a poor sufferer to a den- j
tist, that is the second time you’ve
pulled out the wrong tooth ! ‘ Very
sorry, sir, said the dentist, but as
there was only three when 1 began,
I’m sure to be right next time.
A Stomngton, Conn., man stopped
his paper, and took out his “ono
square ad,” because the little black
and-tan dog of the editor nipped a
pet cat in the bud by chewing her
tail off. Let Congress step in now
and decide whether a newspaper man
has any rights.
A bill is before the Illinois Legis
lature to prevent men from whipping
their wives, and it will no doubt pass.
Thus one by one the Christian be
holds his inestimable rights and priv
ileges torn from his grasp by the mur
derous hand of a tyrannous Legisla
ture.—Courier Journal.
AN HONEST MAN.
“Mr, Brown, you said the defend
ant was honest and intelligent.—
What makes you think so? Are
you acquainted with him ?”
“No sir, I have never seen him.”
“Why, then, do you come to such
a couclusion ?”
“Because he takes ten newspapers
and pays for them in advance.”
Verdict, for tigfqptpnt
A man whom Dr. Chalmers en
gaged to manage a disorderly Sun
day- school, kept his eyes wide open
during praying, and when one' boy
thrust a pin into another he marched
up the aisle still cuffed
that boy’s ears, and wentjback again
praying all the way. After that he
was master of the situation, for the
boys thought that a man who could
watch and pray like that could not
be put down.
“Father, you whipped me the oth
er day for biting Tommy.” “Yes
my son, you hurt him, and I shall
always whip you for biting.”
“Well, then, father, I wish you
would whip sister’s music teacher,
for he bit her on the mouth this
moruing, and 1 know lie hurt her a
good deal, for she put her arms
around his neck and tried to choke
him.”
A good story is told of an Irish
hostler who was sent to the stable to
bring forth a traveller’s horse. Not
knowing which of the two strange
horses in the stalls belonged to the
traveller, and wishing to avoid the
appearance of ignorance in his busi
ness, ho saddled both animals and
brought them to the door. The trav
eller pointed out his own horse say
ing:
“That’s my nag.”
“Certainly, yer honor, I knew that
but I didn’t know which one o’ them
was the other gintleman’s.”
“I rise for information,” said one
of the dullest of the members of an
American legislature. “I am very
glad to hear it,” said one who was
leaning over the bar, “for no one
wants it more than yourself.” An
other member rose to speak on the
bill to abolish capital punishment,
and commenced by saying:—Mr.
Speaker, the generality of mankind
in general are disposed to exercise
oppression on the generality of man
kind in general.” “You had better
stop,” said one who was sitting near
enough to pull him by the coat tail;
“you had better stop you are coming
out of the same hole you went in
at.”
A young mother was in the habit
of airing the baby’s clothes at the
window ; her husband didn’t like it
and believing that if she saw her
practice as others saw it she would
desist, he so directed their afternoon
walk as to bring the nursery window
in full view from the central part of
the town. Stopping abruptly, he
pointed to the offending linen flap
ping unconsciously in the breeze, and
asked sarcastically: “My dear what
is that displayed in our window ?”
“Why,” she replied, “that is the
flag of our union.”
Conquered by this pungent retort,
he saluted the flag by a swing of his
hat, and pressing his wife’s arm clo
ser within his own, said, as they
walked homeward: “And long may
it wave.”
Without ax Enemy'. —No man
can dodge enemies by trying to please
everybody. If such an individual
ever succeeded, we should be glad
of it—not that one should be going
through the world trying to find the
beams to knock and thump against
disputing every man’s opinion, fight
ing and elbowing, crowding all who
differ from him. That, again, is an
other extreme. Other people have
their opinion, so have you ; don’t fall
into the error of supposing that they
will respect you more for turning
your coat every day to match theirs.
Wear your own colors in spite of
wind or weather, storm cr sunshine.
It costs the irresolute and vacilla
ting ten times the trouble to wind
and twist and shuffle than honest,
manly independence to stand its
ground.
“DIED POOR.”
“It was a sad funeral to me,” said
the speaker, “the saddest I have at
tended in many years.”
“That of Edmonson ?”
“Yes.”
“How did he die?”
“Poor—poor as poverty. His
life was one long struggle with the
world, and at every disadvantage,
fortune mocked him all the while
with golden promises, that were des
; lined never to know fulfillment.”
“Yet he was patient and enduring,”
remarked ono of the company.
“Patient as a Christian—enduring
as a martyr,” was answered. “Poor
man! He was worthy of a better
fate. He ought to have succeeded,
for he deserved success.”
“Did he not succeed?” questioned
i the one who had spoken of his pa
j tienee and endurance.
“No, sir. He died poor, just as I
have stated. Nothing that he put
his hand to succeeded. A strange fa
tality seemed to attend every enter
prise.”
“I was with him in his last mo-:
meats,” said the other, “and thought
he died rich.”
“No he left nothing behind,” was
replied. “The heirs will have no
concern as to the administration of
. his estate.”
“He left a good name.” said one,
j “and that is something.”
; “And a legacy of noble deeds that
j were done in the name of liuman
i ity,” remarked another.
! “And precious examples,” said a
I third.
“Lessons of patience in suffering,
of hope in adversity, of heavenly
confidence when no sunbeams fell
upon his bewildered path,” was the
testimony of another.
“And high truth, manly courage,
heroic fortitude.”
“Then he died rich,” was the em
phatie declaration. “Richer than
the millionaire who went to his long j
home on the same day, miserable in
all hut gold. A sad funeral, did you ,
say ? No, my friend, it was atrium- i
phal procession ! Not a burial of a
human clod, but the ceremonies up
on the translations of the angel.
Did not succeed ? Why his whole
life was a series of successes. In every
conflict he became the victor, and
now the victor’s crown is on his
brow. Any gasping, soulless, sel
fish man, with a moderate share of
brain, may gather money, and learn
the art of keeping it; but not one in
a hundred can conquer bravely, in
the battle of life, as Edmonson has
conquered, and step forth front the
ranks of men a Christian hero rich
in neighborly love and rich in celes
tial affections. And his heirs have
an interest in the administration of
his affairs. A large properly has
been left, and let
through false estimates and ignorant
deprecations. There are higher
things to gain in this world than
wealth that perishes. He dies rich
who can take his treasures with him
to the new land where he is to abide
for ever; and he who has to leave all
behind on which he places his affec
tions, dies poor indeed.”
HOW TO CONSTRUCT A FASH
IONABLE LADY.
The Richmond Enquirer publishes
the following recipt to make a wo
man of the period:
Take ninety 'pounds of flesh and
bones—but chiefly bones—wash clean,
bore holes in the ears and cutjoff the
small toes; bend the back to couform
to the Grecian bend, the Boston dip,
the kangaroo droop, the Saratoga
slope, or bullfrog break, as the taste
inclines; then add three yards of lin
en, one hundred yards of ruffles, and
seventy-five yards of edging, eighteen
yards of dimity, one pair of silk cot
ton hose with patent hip attachments,
one pair of false calves, six yards
flannel, embroidered, one pair balino
ral boots with heels three inches
high, four pounds whalebone in
strips, seventeen hundred and sixty
yards of steel wire, three quarters of
a mile of tape, ten pounds of raw cot
ton or two wire hemispheres, one
wire basket to hold a bushel, four
copies of a New York paper (triple
sheet) one hundred and fifty yards
of silk or other dress goods, five hun
dred yards of point lace, fourteen
hundred yards fringe and other trim
ings, twelve gross of buttons, one box
pearl powder, one saucer of carmine
and an old hare’s foot, one bushels of
false hair, frizzled and fretted ala
maniaque , one bundle Japanese
switches, with rats, mice and other
varmints; one peck of hairpins, one
lace handkerchief, nine inches square,
with patent holder. Perfume with
“Atter of Roses,” or sprinkled with
nine drops of the “Blessed Baby,” or
“West End.” Stuff the head with
fashionable novels, ball tickets, play
bills and wedding cards, some scan
dal, a great deal of lost time and a
very little sage, add a half grain of
common sense, three scruples of re
ligion, and a modicum of modesty.
Season with vanity and affectation
and folly. Garnish with ear-rings,
finger-rings, breast-pins, chains,
bracelets, feathers, and flowers to suit
the taste. Pearls and diamonds may
be thrown in if you have them; if
not, paste and pinchbeck from the
dollar-store will do.
Whirle all aronnd in a fashionable
circle, and stew by gaslight for six
hours.
Great care should be taken that the
thing is not overdone.
If it does not rise sufficiently add
more copies of a New York paper.
This dish is highly ornamental,
and will do to put at the head of your
table on grand occasions, but is not
suitable for every-day use at home,
being very expensive and indigesti
ble. It sometimes gives men the
heartburn, and causes them to break,
and is certain death to children.
If you have uot the ingredients at
hand, you can buy the article ready
made in any of our large cities —if you
have money enough.
Tiiequestion- 44 wil 1 wasps freeze?”
has been decided by a Peoria man
who found one in a frozen nest one
day last week, and took the insect in
the house, and held it by the tail
while he warmed his ears over a gas
jet. You wouldn’t believe it, but the
Peoria naturalist says its tail thawed
out first, and while its head was so
stiff and icy it couldn’t wink, its
“probe” worked with inconceivable
rapidity, io the great distress of the
minister who was present, and was
dreadfnlly distressed by the hideous
profanity consequent on each and
i every movment of the probe afore-
I said.

j * BAMA.
Rome, Ga., April 14, 1873.
The Board of Directors has estab
lished a central and working office in
this city, and in connection with it
an Exhibition Room at No. 77 Broad
street, for the pnrpose of collecting
and exhibiting, at all speci
men- of farm, garden and orchard
products in their seasons, inanufac
tured articles, wood for building and
manufacturing purposes, minerals,
fossils, etc., raised, produced and
manufactured within your limits.
They do most respectfully and earn
estly request each and every one of
you to aid and sustain them in this |
important enterprise, which you all
must admit is well calculated to be
productive of great good to you in-!
uividually and collectively. You can !
do this by bringing or sending ro the !
Exhibition Room such specimens as
you may have or can procure. Those
complying with this request will
please attach labels to their speci
mens so as to enable strangers to
locate the place from whence they
came or find the party bringing or
sending them; manufacturers will
please attach cards to their samples
of goods, wares, etc. The object of
the Board is to demonstrate the fact
that Cherokee Georgia and Alabama
can produce a much greater variety
of cereals, grasses, timber for build
ing and manufacturing purposes,
more and superior water powers,
more elements of wealth, health and
prosperity than any other section of
the- United States, und we’ll do this
if you will but co-operate with us in
this good work. The rooms will be
open at all times for your reception
and for inspection, but more espe
cially for the stranger.

| ‘ENFORCEMENT” IN MISSIS
SIPPI.
Under “de civil rights enfostment”
of Mississippi, the negro barbers of
of that State are in much tribulation.
If they shave the blacks they lose
the patronage of the whites, and if
they don't shave the blacks they are
hauled up at once before some negro
“trial jestice" who gives them Jesse.
In consequence, Mississippi is full of
tonsorial martyrs. Sometimes they
get desperate, and old parson Adams
used to say—they “o’releap the limits
of control,” and in a sudden thirst
for vengance sacrifice their individu
al safety to a popular outbreak of
Ethiopian indignation.
Thus at “Chrystal Springs” (charm
a uio ct/ttuu
patch, entered the “Hair Dressing
Saloon” of the Hon. George Wash
ington Gingerbread, throwing him
self into one of the scarlet plush easy
chairs, demanded to be“shampooded,
and his hair dressed in the mos
scrumptious style.”
George Washington eyed this cus
tomer with face-blazing indignation,
and then, of a sudden, his temper
outrunning his judgment, he pulled
down a bottle of carbolic aciu and
gave kink-head a libation which
made him howl like a first-class Mis
sissippi steamboat whistle.
Kink-head put out the front door,
yelling murder and vengeance, and
the Hon. George Washington sloped
out of the back door in the other di
rection, leaving his shop, wigs, wax
dummies and general stock in trade
a peace offering to indignant Ethio
pia, and all were sacrificed on the
spot in the course of the next forty
minutes.
This moving tale illustrates the ag
onies of the tonsorial crisis in Missis
sippi. The great question, “choose
ye this day whom ye will shave,”
has taken an appalling form, and
there is at least one class of negroes
in Mississippi who deplore “de en
fostment” as a device of Satan.
A Billy Goat’s Raid on a Pan
ier. —An amusing case of assault and
battery took place yesterday on the
corner of Sixth street and Virginia
avenue. Three respectable ladies
were taking a quiet walk, dressed in
gay colors, and while in the locality
named were astonished by the head
and horns of a billy goat coming in
contact with the prominent portion—
as fashions go—of the outlines of one
of the promeuaders, making sad hav
oc of the fixings. The ladies scream
ed at the top of their voices as the
irate quadruped persisted in chasing
and butting them right and left. A
crowd soon assembled and among
them Officer John N. Berry, who,
without the authority of a warrant
took the dilemma by both horns, and
thus relieved the frightened ladies,
who scampered off some to repair
damages. The assailant was persuad
ed to the first precinct station house,
where he butted the boards off his
stall before his wrath subsided. This
morning, after hearing before Lieut.
Gessford, he was turned over to the
tender mercies of the pound men
without security.— Washington Star.
AN IRON ROAD IN THE AIR.
We are indebted to the New York
Tribune for the following facts, which
we condense to accommodate our lim
ited space: A double track is to be
laid from Chamber street, New York,
to Forty-second street, a distants of
over three miles, by the middle of
October next. How high in the air
this iron way is to be is not stated;
but the object is to have it out of the
way of travel and business under it.
The contract for supplying the iron
needed is the largest ever made in
America, and is given to the New
England Company at Boston. Five?
million dollars are placed in the
hands of trustees to be paid out
monthly as the iron is supplied, not
to exceed 95 per cent, of the amount
furnished. Building iron roads in
the air, and for miles under cities in
terra finna, is anew feature of civili
zed life, in this iron age.
“Walter, where does this hotel
buy its beef?” inquired a railway
passenger, the other day, as he quit
sawing on a piece of sole-leather
steak. “Os Mr. Jones, sir,” respond
ed the waiter. “Jones! ah! I knew
him in Troy, years ago, very eccen
tric man, that Jones. He always
made it his leading object in life to
kill nothing in the shape of a beef
that wasn’t five hundred years old.”
The waiter reflected a moment, and
then went after a piece nearer the
riba.

STRAWBERRIES.
Strawberry beds must be kept free
from runners, if you desire fruit
rather than an increase ot plants.
It is better to cut than to pull them
off. Mulch and water the plants, if
a long bearing season be desired.
j To Wash Calico. —To prevent
calico from fading while washing,
infuse three gills of salt in four quarts
lof water; put the calico in while hot,
and leave it till cold. In this way
| the colors are rendered permanent,
and will not fade by subsequent
i washings.
GRAPE VINES** AND FRUIT
TREES.
| Grapes vines will throw out extra
! shoots and suckers, which should Ik*
rubbed off at once. Young peach
trees should be looked after for the;
same purpose. Mulch newly-planted i
trees and vines to keep the ground
moist about the roots. This is bet
ter than watering.
Frozen Custards. —This is a nice ■
disli for dessert, and verv easily pre
pared. Boil two quarts ofrich milk:
beat eight eggs and a teacupful of su- j
gar, together, and after the milk is
boiled, pour it over the eggs and su
gar, stirring all the while. Pour the |
whole mixture into your kettle and
let it conic to a boil, stirring it con
stantly, then take it off the fire and
let it become cold. Flavor with
whatever essence you prefer, then
freeze it.
FARMERS O RGANIZING.
Col. Col man, editor and proprietor
of the Rural World, of St. Louis, has
this paragraph in his paper of April
19: “Since closing the last issue of
our paper, we have addressed a Large
convention of farmers at Chillicothe,
Mo.; Brunswick, Mo ; and at Mt. Yer
non, 111. The farmers turn out in
large numbers, whether the weather
is good or bad. They feel that relief
is needed and that it must be had
and like drowning men, they r •
reaching forth for anything that
promises assistance. At all the points
we have spoken, the work of thought
organization has begun.”
INDIGNANT TO FARMERS.
The following is one of a series of
resolutions passed by a farmers’ club
in Illinois:
“That, in view of the fact that the
cost of sewing machines is from five
to seven dollars, or with tabj# wnirty
complete from ten at from
doi tos, we are often reSiffiS'thS
fact that we pay
manufacturers and miudie-nren. —
Now, therefore, resolved, ‘That we
will use old mowers, reapers and
plows, wear our old hats, coats, pants
and bonnets and paddle our own ca
noe generally, until we can purchase
at prices somewhat corresponding to*
the prices we get for our products and
labor.’ ”
KEFP THE SOIL MELLOW.
A mellow soil is capable of absorb
ing in twelve hours, when exposed to
a dry atmosphere, an amount of wa
ter equal to two per cent, of its
weight. If any argument was need
ed to keep the soil mellow, here is a
most powerful one to convince us.
For this property possessed by a mel
low soil is one that, in a dry season,
is able to give it the power of matur
ing a a hardened suaface
would be unable to do so. A surface
that is impenetrable to the atmos
phere could not of course absorb any
of the moisture with which the at
mosphere is charged. But when ren
dered free from lumps by repeated
plowing and harrowing, each change
of temperature causes a circulation of
air throughout the mass of soil,
which is free to them to absorb all
the moisture coming in contact
with it, unless it is saturated.
A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND
EQUALLY HORRIBLE RET
RIBUTION.
Memphis, April 16. —The Augusta
(Arkansas) Bulletin publishes a let
ter from Thomas Warren, of Union
county, Ark., giving an account of a
horrable outrage upon and murder of
a white woman by a negro in that
county. A few weeks ago a marri
ed woman went to a neighbor’s
house to remain several days, but
found no one at home and start
ed to return, when a negro stopped
her horse, took her off and drove,
pushed and pulled her eight miles In
to the bottom-lands, where he tied
her to a tree and ravished her, keep
ing her there for three days. On the
second day, while still tied to the
tree, she gave birth to a child. On
the third day the husband of the un
fortunate woman not finding her at
the neighbor’s, but discovering her
horse where the negro had left it tied,
collected some of his friends and be
gun a search, which resulted in find
ing her dead body tied to the tree,
the negro having murdered her by
blows upon the head, inflicted with
a club.
The murderer was soon afterward
captured by a party of negroes, who
were assisting in the search. At the
husband’s request the negroes built
two log heaps, and setting them on
fire placed him between them. They
were twenty-four hours burning him,
and, at intervals, subjecting him to
horrible torture, such as cutting off
his toes and strips from his body.
There were three other negroes con
cerned in ravishing the woman.
They were subsequently caught and
shot.
The Atlanta Sun says: Yesterday
two collisions occured on the Western
and Atlantic railroad between freight
trains. One was near the Chattahoo
chee river, the other above Rockmart.
The extent of damage was the des
truction of the several engines and
some freight cars. The debris on the
road prevented the arrival of the pas
senger train at the proper hour.—Sa

THE OLD COAT OF GRAY.
BY BLOXDIXK.
It lies there alone; it is rusty and faded,
H ilh a patch on the elbow, a hole in the side;
Bat we think of the brave boy who wore it,
and ever
Look on it with pleasure and touch it with
pride.
A history clings to it; over and over,
F e s . et ‘ a proud youth harried off to the fray,
>V ith his form like the oak, and his eye like
the eagele’s.
How gallant he rode in the ranks of “the
Gray!”
It is rough, it is worn, it is tattered in places.
But I love it the more for the story it bears;
! A story ot courage iu struggle with sorrows,
And a heart that bore bravely its burdeus of
cares.
It is ragged and rusty, but ah ! it was shining
lu the silkiest sheen when he wore it a wav,
And his smile was as bright as the glad sum
mer morning,
When he sprung to his place in the rauks of I
“the Gray.”
r upre’s a rip iu the sleeve, and the collar is
tarnished,
The buttons all gone with their glitter and

Tis a thing of the past, and we reverently lay it
Away with the treasures and relies of old.
As the gifts of a love, solemn, sweet and un-!
spoken,
Arc cherished as leaves from a long vanished i
day,
We will keep the old jacket for the sake of the i
loved one
Who rode in the van in the ranks of “the
Gray.”
Shot through with a bullet—right here in the
shoulder,
And down there the pocket is splintered and
soiled,
Ah ! more—see, the lining is stained and dis
colored !
Yes, blood-drops the texture have stiffened
and spoiled.
It came when he rode at the head of the col
umn,
Charging down the battle one deadliest day
\S hen squadrons of foemen were broken asun
der,
And Victory rode with the ranks of “the
Gray.”
Its mem’ry is sweetness and sorrow commin
gled,
To me it is precious—more precious than
gold,
In the rent and the shot-holes a volume is writ
ten,
Iu the -tains on the lining k agon-, told.
That was ten y ars ago, when, life's suuuv
morning,
Tie rode with his comrade? down into the
fray,
And the old coat he wore, and the good sword
he wielded,
, Werc all that came back from the ranks of

And it lies there alone, I will reverence it ever,

The Now York Evening Post reproduces
from its columns the following poetical effu
sion published in 1816, when former Congress
men raised their own salaries:
Oh! won’t you hear
What roaring cheer
Was spent by Johnny Congress, 0!
And when so gay
They doubled their pay,
And doubled the people’s taxes, 0!
There was Clay the scold
And Johnson the bold,
Who did not shoot Tecumseh, O!
And Ormsbey and Lowndes,
All as eager as hounds,
On the scent of the loaves and fishes, O!
Arrali! by my shoul, it would make your heart
leap for grief to hear the poor soldiers beg
ging for their pay, the widows for the pen
sions, and the oliicers for new loaus, while
all the members arc drinking and singing
merrily.
Twelve dollars a day,
Twelve dollars a day,
Twelve dollars *i day’s the dandy, O!
There was Clay in the chair,
■With his flax-colored hair,
And signing the tax bills cheerily, 0!
And smiled as the rabble
So loudly did gabble
The audience scarcely could slumber, O!
It was aye, it was no;
’Twas too high, ’twas too low—
“ The ayes will rise,” said the Speaker, O!
And quickly arose
Two eyes to the nose,
And the Salary bill was carried, O!
Yes! by my shoul, they arc unanimously disa
greed upon every question except the Sal

proposes to give us all a yearly salary ol
fifteen hundred dollars, and myself three
thousand. Shall it pass? Aye! aye! aye!
The ayes have it, therefore they all bogie
to sing,
Twelve dollars a day,
Twelve dollars a day,
Twelve dollars a day’s the dandy, O!
Bat ocli! by my slioul,
They all stared like an owl,
When the people hissed their ditty, O!
Said Clay, We’re all broke,
They don’t relish the joke,
The devil has got in the rabble, O!
We have pat on their backs,
A mountain of tax,
An army, a bank, et cetera , O !
Which so tamely they bore,
That we all could have swore
They were perfectly broke to the halter, O!
How shall we creep out of this scrape ? says one.
Says Clay, I will persuade the people that
twelve dollars a day is too little to support
myself and wife. Says Hardin, I’ll turn the
thing off in a joke. Says Onnsbey, I’ll beg
pardon of my constituents, and promise
never to do the like again. “Well done,
my lads !” says Johnson, and so they all
begin to sing again,
Twelve dollars a day,

Twelve dollars a day’s the dandy; O!
