Dewcese, of this city, lias had his yard haudsomdy laid oil'and beautifully ter raced. His residence is now one of the nicest in the city. Hen. I’. M. B. Voting and Gen. J. E. Gordon, ol this Slate, have both bought property in Washington City. So wc learn from our ex changes. We learn that the ringleader in burning Col. Roper’s stable, and who escaped from theofii ecr, week befoie last, lias been rearrested and lodged in jail in this city, lie was apprehend ed, this time, by men of his own color. Several of our young ladies aud gentlemen went a pie-nicing to the Saltpetre Cave and Gillam’s Spring, on Saturday last, and had a pleasant ride and general good time of it, we are informed. They danced and eat and eat and danced, that is, a portion of them done the dancing and all hands engaged in eating. At the request of several of our citizens, we republish, this week, an editorial published in this paper some three weeks since, under the caption of “Answers to oft Repeated En quiries— Let tiik Public Head and Pon -I»EH—cA ISTERS VII.LE AND BaKTGW COUNTY.” We have printed an extra number of copies of the paper, this week, in order to supply the demand for them to send off in answer to en quiries abroad. John Keys, Bob Read, and others, wc learn, at the instigation of John Barleycorn and his accomplice, the devil, had a riot, at Puckett’s ferry just below this city, on Monday night last, in which Keys knocked Read in the head with a rock. They commenced the melee in the boat and fought ashore. Read was alive at last account. The rock with which Keys hit him can be seen at the store of W. A. Dewecse in this city. Picnic.—Owing to ilie inclemency of the weather, our usual annual picnic did not come off on Friday last, but has been postponed un til Friday, the ldth inst., when it will be held in the grove between Rowland and Douthilts Ferry streets in this city, under the regulations here before mentioned. CARTERS VILLE FEMALE SEMINARY. The commencement exercises of this insti tution will be held from June Bth to the 13th. The commencement sermon will be preached at the Chuich, on Sunday, June the Bth, by the Rev. Mr. Burkchead, of this city', and the Literary Address will be delivered by Gen. A. 11. Colquitt, of Atlanta, on the night of Friday, the 13th following. MARRIED. At the residence of the Bride’s uncle, Mr. P- J. Guyton, on the evening of the Ist inst., by Rev. E. S. V. Briant, Mr. G. Y.

Campbell Wallace, ol' Atlanta, has re signed the Presidency of the Georgia Western hailroad, and will visit our city this week.— He came very near settling here once, since tiie war, let us make it to his advantage to do so now, as lie is footloose again. He belongs to Bartow county, anyway, of rights. A Wandkßtko I'ifnic Party. —On Satur day last, in company with several young la dies, misses and masters, we took a little pleas ure excursion on foot. Our field of operations was along the banks of the Etowah river, be tween Tumlln's Mills and the railroad bridge, neai this city. It was a lovely, bright, sunny spring day, and congenial with the spirits of the youth in the party. They had been con lined in the school-room for several months, poring over the vexed problems with which their young minds came in daily contact, while pursuing their routine of studies, and longed to regale their spirits with the fresh, fragrant breeze of a rural atmosphere, and to recline upon the green grass beueath the shade of the trees which grew along the margin of the riv er and listen to the sweet song of its rippling waters. Some fishing-tackle and bait was car ried along by a few of the party, but the recent B howers had so swollen the river that it was thought inadvisable to indulge in piscatorial sport without some prospect of success. It being nearly noon when the party reached the ti ic, bold spring of water which gushed from beneath the bluff near the stream and just be low' the mill, the misses and masters could not, with any degree of complacency, enter upon the sports of the occasion, without first discussing the contents of the several little baskets which had been opportunely filled with nicknacks, as well as more substantial food. The table was spread, and the little troupe sur rounded it, a blessing invoked, and all hands set to work, in good earnest, in appeasing their craving appetites. The contents of sar diuc boxes and pickle bottles rapidly disap e ared, ils did also the rations of good old ham and biscuit, besides cakes, crackers, custards 1 <toe., &c., by the pound. There was also found a box of devilled turkey on the tabic, which went the rounds at a rapid pace. When through with dinner, we observed that ail the sardine boxes had floated up and lodged at one end of the table near which sat Miss 8., and at I the oppo site end lay a heap of pickle bottle ~ near which sat the Misses M. Miss F., who sat near the center, was heard to remark that “she reckoned that she had eaten, at least, half of a turkey, or at least, the box was marked ‘Turkey,’ and she had eaten half that was in it.” A few, a.s usual, did all the talking, and the remainder did tlie principal part of the eating. It is said that “still waters run deep.” After dinner, it w as determined by the pat ty to take a. stroll up the river in the direction of the fer ly and the railroad bridge, some half a mile above. We had to pass two mills on our route. Upon arriving at the first it was suggested by several of the misses that wc go in and weigh the party. Wc don’t recollect of ever passing a mill, in company \vith ladies, whether old or young, but what they wanted to go in and be weighed, notwithstanding, in town, where they lived, every oilier business house had a jalatform scale. The first mill, however, was locked, so we had to pass on unweighed. W c proceeded through the fields until wc reached the road leading from the city to the ferny. Here the misses and masters engaged in a few foot races, the misses invariably beating the race. On reaching the ferry the boat was about landing on our side, and about this time we heard a train approaching the river just in sight above us. Ail hands embarked aboard the boat, which was launched, .an l immediately floated out into the middie of the stream where wc witne:sd, with much pleasure, the train cross the river upon a high bridge. Returning to the landing from whence we had proceeded, we disembarked and resumed our march to the bridge, passing on the way another mill, upon arriving—at the mill the party called a halt, and the clamor was again raised for “a weigh,” but no scales were to be found, whereupon several of the ‘chicks’ struck up a game of marbles, while others as cended to the side of a bluff, in our front, which formed a natural amphitheatre, and there they poured forth a strain of music which made the valley resonant with the melody of their voi ces, in the rendition of‘Mabel Clare’ and ‘Tent ing on the old camp-ground,’ much to the dc , liuht of tUc older ones who wercsittbur stmae mill. Things went on as merry as a marriage belle for a little season, and ever and anon a midst the swelling notes of the singing troupe, one could hear exclamations of ‘vence,’ ‘kicks,’ ‘knuckle down,’ etc., as they emanated from the marble groupci. The next forward move ment brought the party to the top of the bluff and to the west end of the W. A. railroad bridge, which point no sooner had w-e reached ihau a number of the misses and masters went skipping along across the bridge to the east end, a distance of six or seven hundred feet and about eighty feet above the water, as ob livious to danger as if they had been so many kites flying through the air, much to the cha grin of the older ones who were witnessing their icrcal feats of agility. The bridge was a covered one, but a mis-step might have pro ven fatal beyond description. The situation being one fraught with such eminent peril, we tarried here but a short period, and then pro ceeded to the point we first set out to attain, which was the summit of a beautiful eminence surmounted by a confederate redoubt, and which overlooked the valley of the majestic > Etowah for miles up and down it. Upon this redoubt the party stood and viewed the land scape oe’r. It was a scene that made each heart pupate with emotions of pride and plea sure, as they thought on the goodness of the Great Architect who lavished so much beauty and lovliness upon the valley in whose bosom tlieir lots had been cast. We could only com pare the sight to that beheld by Mose3, while standing upon a projecting rock in the craggy sides of Mt. Nebo looking down upon the tents of the children of Israel in the plains beneath him. After surfeiting our eyes upon the grand panoramma spread out before and around us, all hands set to work picking and culling wild flowers, vines, Ac., from which the female por tion of the party ’twined wreathes with which they encircled their delicate brows, and, tints adorned, returned to the city, after a day’s wan derings and sportings across the plains, along the margin of the river, and upon the moun tain top, to repeat, that night, in their dreams, the perils and scenes which they encountered and witnessed during the day. Cols. Lewis Tumlin and Daniel S. Printup, have been appointed, by Gov. Smith, delegates to lepiesent this, the Seventh. Congressional District, in the Convention of Governors, to as semble in Atlanta, on the 20th inst. The Annual Celebration of .the Methodist E. Sunday School of this city, will come oft' at the M. K. Church on Friday evening, the f3d inst. A small admission fee of twenty-five cents will be charged, in lieu of taking up the usual col lection for the benefit of the school. A splen did programme is being gotten up for the oc casion and we may expect to witness an enter tainment that will feast the soul anddelg.ht the body. Songs, speeches, and impressive scenes will make up the programme pi'die eve ning. Programme next week. See advertisement o F K inship Cotton Cinq m another column. Coiton producers would do well to examine the Gin before making theK purchases. Messrs. Gilbert & Baxter, of this city, are Agents for the s.de of it. MR. W. A. MARSCIIALK. We mke pleasure iu introducing this gentle, man to our citizens. He is Agent for the Re public Life Insurance Company. The Repub lic is a live, liberal, strong, flourishing, and pre-eminently safe company. It has a capital stock of £5,000,000, distributed through nearly every State iu the Uniou. It has its central office at Chicago, Illinois, aud branch office’, in many prominent cities—Atlanta, Augusta aud Rome in this State. This company com. mends itself to the public for two special rea sons: first, it loans, or otherwise inverts its money in the localities where it does business; and iu tiie second place, it is perfectly safe. People often refuse to insure because they fail to see who is to pay their lo res. This is made perfectly clear by this company, as it lias among its stockholders a great number of the wealthiest citizens in the country, North and South, all of whom are responsible for the loss es of the company. Among the Georgia stock- are the following well-known capital ists: Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown, E. E. Raw sou, L. P. Grant, Lewis Scofield, A. Leyden, Meadow Bros., T. P. Branch, John P. King, aud many others of Atlanta, Augusta and Rome. Our c itizens will find Mr. Marschalk to be a gentlemen of pleasing address, and of first-rate business qualifications. t ANSWERS TO OFT REPEATED ENQUI RIES. LET THE PUBLIC READ AND PONDER. CARTERSVILLF AND BARTOW COUNTY. Many are the questions asked, by parties looking around for homes and investment of capital, about our immediate locality and its sarrouudings. Finding it impossible to an swer each applicant, by letter, we have con cluded to select the press as the proper medi um through which to convey the desired in formation. We cannnot enter into minute de tails touching the varied advantages and inter ests of tliis particular section of country, bat will simply glance at a few of its leading fea tures. We will begin with CARTERSVILLE. This city is located on the Western & At lantic Railroad at the juetion of the Chero kee railroad with that road, 48 miles North of Atlanta and 90 miles South of Chattanooga, Tenn.Jin the beautiful, fertile and picturesque valley of the Etowah, and two miles north of that stream. East and south of this city af ter leaving the sublime valley of the Etowah, the country is mountainous and broken, but rich in mineral ores and fertile ravines and coves ; northward and Westward the country is a beautiful succession of ridges, plains and val lies, extending into Tennessee and Alabama one of the finest mineral and agritnltural sec tions of the globe. Forty miles north of Car tersville, on the same road, at the junction of several railroads, st..nds the rising aud unique little city of Dalton ; twenty seven miles south, on the same line of road and midway between Cartersville and Atlanta, stands the classical little city of Marietta, on the highest point be tween the mountains and the seaboard, with the historical Kennesaw mountains smiling down upon her; while twenty-five miles to the west, locked in by the waters of the Coosa, Etowah and Oostanaula river, and at the head of navcgajion of the former stream, and at the junction of the Rome Branch with the Selma, Rome & Dalton Railroad, stands Rome, the queen city of tlie south. Cartersville, before the war, had a population of about five hun dred, with twenty-five or thirty business hous es, but not a stationary engine enlivened the vilage with it3 music. During the war Gen. Sherman laid it in ashes and wiped out the very foot-printts of her demoralized and refu geeing citizens, leaving but little more than tlie site where once stood tlie modest little village. At the close of the war, the most of her citi zens returned from their refugeeings, in great ly straightened circumstances financially, and went to work, with their limited means, to re gain their broken fortunes. Fire after fire swept off the products of their labors while struggling to get their heads above the waves of adversity. To-day Cartersville numbers a population of obout three thousand souls, (2,240 when the census was taken in 1870). — About eighty business houses now grace her streets, a good proportion of which are hand some brick buildings. A three-story brick ho tel and several boarding houses and restau rants stand open night and day for the accom modation of boarders aud visitors. A twenty thousand dollar courthouse and a fifteen thou sand dollar jail are among her public buildings. Seven churches— four whites aud three blacks —tlie whites are Baptist, Methodist, Presbyte rian, and Episcopalian, the latter not yet com pleted, the blacks are Baptist, African, and Northern Methodist churches. Five regular schools—two female and three male, besides a number of primary schools—the most im portant of tlie five regular schools is the Car tersville Female Seminary, which is taught by a corps of as efficient female teachers as any like institution in the south, and is attended by upwards ot eighty pupils ; the remaining four are taught by ripe scholars aud experien ced teachers, averaging about thirty pupils each. Au effort is now being made, with good prospect of success, to erect a first-class male college here, upon a cheap but substantial ba sis. Preparations are being made, by the city regular system of water-works. One bank— the Planters & Miners. One news, job and book printing office—tbe Standard & Express’ One steam flouring mill—Holly Mills—one steam grist mill, both run by engines. One car factory and one foundry and machine shop, both run by steam. Two planting, sash, blind and door manufactories, both run by steam, one not yet in operation. An effort is now be ing made to build a cotton factory, which promises success. Society good, climate healthy, scenery bcauliful, water cold and pure. Capital commands readily from one to two and a half per cent, a month, and since the usury laws have been repealed and the re troactive features of the homestead and relief laws declared unconstitutional, securities are ample. City property commands a good price. Rents are reasonable, from ten to thirty dol lars a month, for dwell ings from two to eight rooms, according to locality and conveniences. But few or no business houses to rent. BARTOW COUNTY, lias a population of about twenty thousand, with three commercial, centres—Cartersville, Kingston, and Adairsville —the former being the principal one and the county-site, while all are active; stirring places. The Western & Atlantic Railroad runs nearly through the cen ter of the county, north and south, a distance of about thirty-live miles. At Cartersville the Cherokee railroad leads off westward to Rock mart, a distance of 23 miles, to which point the trains are making daily trips, passing the villages of Stilesboro aud Taylorsville on the way. Near Rockmart are the famous slate quarries, from which large quantities of slate is being shipped. At Kingston, eleven miles above Cartersville on the same road, leads off the Rome Branch railroad, about sixteeu milc3 westward to the city of Rome, connecting the W. A A. R. 11. with the Selma, Rome A Dalton R. R. Adairsville is in the Oothcaloga valley ten miles above Kingston on the same line of load. It is surrounded by one of the best grain, clover and grass growing sections in northern Georgia. This county is well water ed by tlie Etowah river and numerous creeks, which abound with fine water powers, and the bottom lands of which, would rival, in fertilli ty, the historic Nile of the eastern world.— Iu full operation and now in the process of construction five iron furnaces, the four alrea dy in operation turn out from five to seven ons of iron per day. The Bartow furnace company is now engaged in erecting another furnace, just below this city, of thirty.tons ca. pacify, and the Rogers company is also engag ed in putting up a large furnace just above this city. Beside’, this near this city, on the E I,o wall river, are the old Etowah Iron Works, which, before the war, run two puddling fur naces, a rolling mill, foundry, and a flouring mill, the laltor turned out one hundred ban-els a day. A branch railroad also extended out from the Western A Atlantic Railroad a dis tance of four -mils, to these works, all of which were destroyed during the war, and the property is now offered for sale as will be seen by reference to an advertisement in this paper. Good mills in abundance all over the county. Real estate sells from ten to one hundred dol lars per acre, owing to their contiguity to this city. Good farming lands can be bought at a convenient distance from the city, at from twenty to thirty dollars per acre. The lands all produce cotton, grain, clover and the grass es, besides almost all other products that can be raised iu the Northern, Southern or West ern States, and that, too, profitably. The miuernl resources ol the count}' are unsurpass ed, while the agricultural cannot be excelled. No better field for the investment of capital can be found in the world than iu this county. We defy a contradiction of this fact. An ef fort is now being made for the erection of a large cotton factory iu or near this city, upon a cheap and solid basis. What we have here said is substantially true of Cartersville and Bartow county. If any one doubts it, let him come and sec for himself, and be satisfied. See Bartow Sheriff Sales and other legal no tices. Tjc new steam Grist Mill of Messrs. Fadgett, Gower & Cos., in this city, is now in operation, gee advertisement. LOCAL MATTERS. P. H. BREWSTER'S COLUMN. MEAN. A thief stole some of our onions one night last week. Wc have old doable-barrel ready for him now. ENGLISH PEAS. On last Sabbath, the 4th ins!., we had a mesa of English peas, which were grown iu our gar den. How is that for early? THE COTTON CROP. Farmers inform us that their cotton is just beginning to come up. It is well that it has been delayed, for the mornings have been too cool, of late, for a plant so tender. A MUSICAL PRODIGY. A little Italian boy, about 12 years old, has been moving the lovers of “the concord of sweet sounds,” by playing the fiddle on our streets for several days. The litue wretch saws his old fiddle in an awkward manner, yet he manages to make right good music. THE WHEAT CROP. So far as our observation has extended, the wn at crop is rapidly improving aud bids fair to do well. We do not intend, however, hv this remark, to put down the price. It will probably be high enough for the most of us auyhow, for iu our opinion a much less quan tity than usual has been sowm. FINE FISH. We saw a lot of fine fish at the Depot on last Saturday. They were of the “red snapper” variety, aud had been shipped from Savannah. We felt like we would have been glad to put our snappers on one of them, but were afraid they had been dead too long. PERSONAL. Mr. C. S. Steele, of Cherokee, and family j spent a few days with us last week. Charley | was looking about as well as usual, and usual ly looks as well as any body who looks uo bet ter than he does. He takes things easy, and enjoys life as well as any of us. It is always a treat to have liis sort visit us, and we hope that'such visits will not be like those which the angels make. MEASLES. There are several cases of measles in our city. We hope that no scriou.3 cousequences will result front the disease, as it seems to pre va’l in a mild form. We had it once, and they gave us muUen tea. With tlie experience we now have, we believe if we had to take the measles again or the mullen tea, we would prefer the former. Atteution to proper diet and to cleanliness is important in all cases, and especially so in measles. STEGALL’S. We attended divine service at Stegall’s M. E. Church, 4 miles from this place, on last Sabbath, and found a large and attentive con gregation in attendance. They have just or ganized n very iuterestiug Sabbath school at that place, aud there seems to have been a great improvement made in the moral tone of the community within the last 12 months. The Bartow Iron Works arc situated in the vi cinity, and quite a little town is growing up around them. Our Baptist friends have just completed a very decent and respectable brick church at Stegall’s Station on the Western & Atlantic Railroad, which is another gratifying evidence of tlie good taste and prosperity of the community. Til l-: Difference.— The editor of the Car tersville Standard and Express uses his coffee without sugar when a subscriber stops his pa per. Wc use neither coffee nor sugar ou such occasions. Sometimes it takes our appetite, away, entirely, and wc.don’t even eat any thing. —Home Commercial. < Jess so; but we ueysr have suckp. Uriua; to gather up a dozen or so subscribers. We al ways use sugar and coffee and cream in own. Talbotton Standard. Coffee in coffee! Well, that’s heavy! Wc guess lie means to say that he puts whiskey in Ilian. SUDDEN DEATH. Eiias Cain, an old citizen who lived near ■ Field’s bridge in Cherokee county, fell dead a short time ago, while dropping cotton seed. It is supposed that he had a paralytic stroke, which was probably superinduced by tlie pres sure of the cord of the sack around his ueck and shoulders. Mr. Cain was a very industrious, peaceable and inoffensive citizen, and his loss will be felt by the neighborhood in which lie lived. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved family, aud hope that the widow and tlie orphans may realize that “Earth hath uo sorrow that Heaven cannot . heal.” ALMOST AN ITEM. On last Friday morning while on our way to town, we saw a couple of young men in a bug gy, to which a spirited horse was attached, coming Jehu like through the grove between Mr. C. G. Trammell’s aud Rowland’s Ferry street. Before getting into the road it was necessary for them to pass between two posts which we thought were too close together to admit tlic passage of the buggy, but our heroes steered clear of both “Scylla and Charybdis,” and made it by the elasticity of the vehicle which bounced through. They went on “a tearing,” we breathed free again, and resolved to look up something else for our column. FISH PONDS. Why don’t our people have fish ponds, and raise their own fish ? There arc many fresh little streams iu the hills and mountains in our section, where ponds might be constructed and supplied with an abundance of fish at a trifling cost; and how pleasant would it be to ride out to a nice pond with a green border of grass and shrubs around it, and get a me :s of nice, fresh fish ! Could wc not have a city fish pond and park, in some pleasant iittle valley near us, where we nr'ght have our picnics and odie:- lestivties, and where the young and old might enjoy themselves in social intercourse? In the construction of a nice fish pond the beautiful aud useful would be blended, and |he pleasure and profit afforded would pay a hundred fold on the investment. Who will move in the matter ? Summerville, Chattooga Cos., Ga., ) April 30th, 1873. Editors Standard & Express: —You will pardon me, I trust, for the liberty of tresspass ing upon your valuable space with a few items from this county. Tlie wheat crop is generally unpromising, with but a few exceptions. I have heard how ever of a few fields which are heading. This is on clover fallows. We were visited on the night of the 20th with a destructive frost, which has ruiued the fruit crop aud seriously damaged the gar dens. The Rev. Mr. Burkchead, of your city, is vis iting the Presbyterian churches in this county, and is everywhere greeted with crowded hous es. He pleached for several days at this place, and is now preaching at Alpine. Although it has been a busy season lie is always greeted with a large and attentive audience. ' His hap py faculty of explaining his subject never fails to impress his hearers. His appointment will prove a blessing not only to his church, but to society at large. He rarely preaches less than three times a day; which his fine physical de velopment enables him to do without fatigue. Wherever he preaches there are large acces sious to the church aud numbers of anxious enquirers. Your charming city must keep a vigilant watch, or an effort will be made to get him elsewhere. Observer. NOTICE! ALL Persons indebted to L. Payne also to the firm of Payne & Green, are request • id to call and settle at once. Payne A Green having sold out, and dissolved copartnership by mutual consent, the books belonging to the linn have been transferred to L.

The Hoard of Directors of the Georgia Wes tern Railroad met yesterday afternoon—present Directors John Collier, J. A. Heyden, John 11. James, E. Y. Clarke, A. Leyden, G. W. Adair. Vice President James in the chair. The resignation of President Campbell Wal lace was accepted, as Major Wallace, for rea sons stated in his resignation before offered, but suspended at the urgent request of the Board, insisted upon its acceptance. We are glad to know, as the writer does, that Col. Grant, his successor, was the man of all others that Major Wallace prefered. This is an ex ample of conscientious action that many in higu positions would do well to follow. Major Wallace staled to the board that it would be his pleasure as well as his duty as a citizen of Atlanta to co-operate with his suc cessor, whoever he might be, (provided he was a man of sense and railroad experience) in fur thering the weltare of the road. Tuat he would go with the president and engineers to Talladega and aid them in any wav possi ble. It is due to Major Wallace to say that he has resigned an honorable position, with a good salary, because he could not conscientiously carry out th#*views of the City Council, and he admits the right of the Council to exercise their own judgment unless otherwise instruc ted by their constituents, but he was uuwil ling to receive pay lor work he could not pre lorm. We are happy to shite that Major Wallace was unanimously elected director to fill a va cancy, and we are satisfied will serve the com pany and city with all his powerful zeal and capacity. Colonel L. P. Grant, we trust, will accept the Presidency. This whole community will endorse his capacity, known ail over the South (as he is) as a practical railroad mau of great experience and ability. The Board determined to ask the city lor no more money at present, but to push the road with ail possible despatch, culled upon all in tenested in the road to come forward with their aid. Surveys will be at once throughly completed through the coal fields of Alabama. We cougnuulate our people on the deter mined purpose to prosecute the building of the road w ith unflagging zeal. — Atlanta Vau nt it at ion. THE RESIGNATION OF .MAJOR CAMP , BELL WALLACE. As will be seen by a report published else where, Major Campbell Wallace has finally re signed the Presidency of the Western Road Our regret at his resignation is only tempered by the knowledge that, as one of the directors, his services will not be lost to the road, and by the fact that, in Colonel L. P. Grant, liis suc cessor, the supporters of this great enterprise have the aid ox a gentleman ot ability and of long experience in railroad matters. While, however, we are sanguine that, under the new President the Western Road will be successfully pushed forward to completion, we are compelled to express mortification at seeing Major Wellace withdraw—a withdraw al deemed necessary by him for the preserva tion of his own sett re spect. Atlanta may rejoice that Major Wallace is determined to aid in building the road is spite of the manner in which he has been treated. While the present City Council may persist in assuming the attituds of a stumbling block iu the path of this work, it is consoling to know that they cannot continue their opposi tion longer than December next. The Wes tern Road must be built, and Atlanta must con trol it. Timid eonueilmeu aud economists will not be elected next tail; for as certain as our present municipal inlets persist in declin ing to put the question of the additional sub set iptiou to a vote of the people, so certain will the issue of the next local contest be the \\ esteru Railroad. And that the result will be in favor of the subscription is as positive as anything can be iuthis world. —Atlanta Her ald. MEDICAL BLUNDEHS. From the period when surgeons applied their salves to weapons instead of wounds to the present wide-awake age, the medical pro fession has often, unwittingly taken side with Disease in its conflicts with the human sys tem. Even yet, in spite of the teachings of centuries of experience, some physicians be lieve in depleting their patients, already se riously exhausted by sickness, with powerful cvacuants, emetics, salivants, eautliaridal plasters, of the lancet. But, providentially, public intelligence is ahead of these medical fossils, who belong, of right, to the era of the Crusades! That powerful ally of nature in its the masses to the paramount importance of increasing t-lie vital strength of the body when menaced by disease. They understand that when the atmospheric conditions are adverse to health, it is wise to reinforce the system with a wholesome tonic and stimulant, and thus enable it to combat and repel the depress ing influence of an inclement temperature. If the constitutional and animal powers were always thus recruited in the presence of dan ger, the mortality from consumption, bron chitis, chronic rheumatism, &c., would be much less than it now is. The causes which produces croups, colds, quinsey, diptheria and catarrh seldom effect a strong and active vital system ; and of all vitalizing preparations. Hosfetter’s Bitters has proved the most effi cient. It is not claimed that this standard tonic is a specific for lung and throat maladies as it is for dyspepsia, liver complaint and in termittents, but it is unhesitatingly asserted that it is the best known safeguard against all the atmospheric elements of disease. TRUTHFUL LINES. NOT BY BRET HARTE. Which I wish to remark, And my language is sane, That for drinks that are fancy, And drinks that are plain, Hans Sellers’ Saloon is peculiar, And the same, I now rise to exclaim. Hans Sellers’s his name, And I will not deny, That quite good is the same, When he wishes to buy, And a “smile” at the “Star” is a pleasure, And I frequent it often when “dry.” Where you can have a small game— With “lunch” near at band it’s called “Billiards”—the same Which all gents understand, And you “smile” as you stand by the table And order some favorite brand. Which I’ll furthermore stale, That the liquors are old, And I’m pleased to relate That none better are sold, And the “Star” is well fitted and finished, Till it glistens and glitters like gold. Which I wish to remark In language that’s sane, That, for drinks that are fancy, And drinks that are plain, The “Star” of Bans Sellers’s peculiar, And the same I’m about to maintain. 5 -S—wtf.
