Oct. 17tf Saturday evenings is always a busy time in town. The streets are full of colored folks, who come in to spend the wages earned during the week. They spend their money freel}’, and deny themselves nothing, which they take a fancy to, provided they can pay for it. JOSH BILLINGS COUNTER FEITED. BT S'MO\ S'.Af °ii NS.

In another column may be found a communication from our phat cor respondent, Mr. Gaines, who will keep our readers posted in regard to the mining interests in Paulding, Car rol, Haralson, and elsewhere.

Good Flour. We are now receiving ’arge shipments of Choice Western Wheat, and are prepared to furnish our customers with Good Flour, at wholesale and retail. I. C. Manstield 6c Cos, Holly Mills.^ The Rf.vival at the Baptist Church.— The meeting at the Baptist Church, in this place, continues with unabated interest. Fifteen more candidates were added to the church during last week, fourteen of whom were immersed in Pettit’s creek on Sunday evening last, one being too unwell to sub mit to the ordinance of baptism. The ad ministration of the ordinance was witness ed by a very large concourse of people. This makes thirty, in all, who have been re ceived into the church, by experience and baptism, during the progress of the meet ing. The Rev. R. B. Ilcaden, though young in years, is making a very efficient and ac ceptable pastor. But few young ministers could or would have stood up, without fal tering, as lie has, under such, weighty re sponsibility and arduous duties as were imposed by a protracted revival meeting of a month’s incessant, duration. Remember the i»oor. W/lien the wintry winds are blowing. And you have food in store ; When you’ cheerful fire is glowing, Then don’t fo’get the poor. Remember there are many Pressed by afflactions sore, Without a single penny, Or comfort in their door ! The man who shovveth pity, And give.h to the poor, In the eternal city Shall live forever more. Then when the winds are blowing Against your cottage door ; And your cheerful fire is glowing, Oh don’t forget the poor ! Pulaski county capers down to the front and claims the premium on a gourd-vine which produced fifty three large gourds, besides any num ber of smaller ones. To add to our confusion, the Dispatch says the vine is thirty-five feet in diameter. We had no idea that Woods would attempt to impose upon us in this manner. We give him one more op portunity to retract. Is the gourd vino thirty-five feet in length, or thirty-five feet in diameter ? If Woods still sticks to diameter, be can just name his time and style of fight. Woods is a friend of ours, but we wouldn’t allow even our first cousin to stick a gourd-vine thirty five feet in diam . v ,er, under our nose —Savannah News. The matrimonial market seems w be dull in our town at present. We suppose this indicates a mild winter. Our colored friend, William Codie, puts up a number one Boot and Shoo, and, is one of those freedmen who is trying to earn a living by honest labor. He is industri ous aud energetic in business, and deports himself in a respectful ami courteous man ner, and well deserves the contidence and patronage of all good people, both white and black, who wish to see his race making a living for themselves and families, by honest efforts and correct dealings. Benjamin Conley, Governor of the State of Georgia, in recognition of the Father of all mercies, and of his great goodness to us as a people, has designated and set apart Thurs day, THE 30th OF NOVEMBER, as a day of Thanks-giving and Prayer, and earnestly recommend the peo ple of this State to lay aside all se cular pursuits, and repair to their respective places of worship, and de voutly thank Him for His benefi cence in the past, and humbly pray for His continued blessings in the future. Important Law Suit. —A bill was sanctioned on Tuesday by Judge Parrott, enjoining the sale of the Cherokee, formerly Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad. The parties are Overton & Lewis, complainants, against H. I. Kimball & Cos., and the Georgia Railway Contracting Company, et all, defendants. It is alleged and charged that Rufus B. Bullock and Henry Clews were part ners of the firm of H. I. Kimball & Cos., and also stockholders in the Georgia Railway Contracting Com pany. The transfer of the bonds of the Cherokee Railroad Company is also enjoined. Jackson, Lawton & Bassinger, and Henry Jackson & Bro., Solid* tors for complainants. R. W. Murpliey, Esq., has some thing to say about the Liverpool and London and Globe Fire Insur ance Company, of which he is Agent at this place. That this is one of the strongest companies in the world, cannot be denied. The losses of this company by the Chicago fire was payed by a check on London without touching the American in vestment. General Wofford. A correspondent recommends Gen eral Wofford for Governor. The General has a brilliant war record lie is a man of nerve, prudence, hon esty, independence and ability. Marion Relieved and Union under Martial Law. Washington, November 3.—The proclamation attributed to report this A. M., has been promulgated. It releases Marion county, f S. C., The Atlanta Era says: A Blondin Mule.— Day before a mule, belonging to the stables of Messrs. O. H. Jones & Cos., deliberately walked out upon a plat form attached to the rear of the stone stable, and from thence upon the roof of an adjoining building ; climbing the roof, and crossing the comb of it, he descended on the oth er side of the roof to the M jumping off place,” and jumped off, alighting safely some fifteen feet down, in an open lot, where he was secured, none the worse for his marvelous Blondin feat. Washington; November 10— There is no.present intention of de claring martial law in Georgia or elsewhere, their being nothing ia the present condition of affairs to war rant such a measure. Senator Scott, who, it is said, urged the measure, himself denies it. Atlantic and Great Western Canal. —The Atlanta New Era says of this projected improvement: The survey is progressing satis factorily, and will be completed by the middle of December next; at which time we hope the bill now be fore Congress, granting aid to this great national work, will be called up and promptly passed. We also learn that Hon. W. P„ Price, our efficient Representative from the Vlth Congressional District —and who has been most zealous and active in this matter—is very sanguine of the ultimate success of the bill. He expresses confidence, we learn, that the national character of the proposed work will insure for it the aid asked. There have been only 182 mar riages in Floyd county this year. Several families left Dalton and vicinity last week for Texas and Ar kansas. At this rate Georgia will soon ioose all her simpletons. The Baltimore Sun’s Washington correspondent says : “ It is reported here that Governor Bullock has left the United States.” Gen. Grant is now employing his leisure time in preparing a text book for schools and colleges. It is enti tled “ Grant’s Speaker, or the Stan dard American Orator.” Orders re ceived at the White House. Intelligence, apparently reliable, comes from Utah that Brigham Young has bade adieu forever to the scenes of his greatness and glory, and, with a miserable retinue of a dozen men, is wandering up and down the earth in seach of a place of refuge. In the sterotyped obituary literature, “He leaves sixteen inconsolable wives and a hundred (more or less) interesting children to mourn his un timely loss.” Under the head ‘Effects of the Railroad Already,’ the Dahlonega Signal, of last Tuesday, says : A Mrs. Butler, of this county, re cently gave birth to three children, all of which occurred since the coun ty gave a majority vote in favor of the narrow gauge being built from Gainesville to Dahlonega. Now you men who are opposed to railroads, dry up. Cartersville aspires to the distinc tion of having a town clock. Five original suffrage-slingers es caped from the Bartow jail the other day, whereupon the Express remarks that “ neither the jailor, Mr. Hood, nor the prisoners are to blame.” So says the Savannah News. Now, that last paragraph is a mistake. Look again, Mr. News, and you will probably find your information in some other paper. You’ve got things mixed , by mixing something with your water, perhaps. Cartersville is now kicking up a dust over a lime-sink in her corporate limits. She wants to know how in the thunder it came there.— Sav. News. Well, why in the thunder don’t you tell us ?

The best Agricultural Fairs are farmer’s daughters. A toper sneered at a young man for wearing spectacles, when the lat ter said, “It is better to use glasses over the nose as I do, than under the nose as you do!” A greenhorn was offered at a pub lic table a plate of maccaroni soup but he declined it, declaring that they couldn’t play any boiled pipe stems on him. A man is said to be absent-minded when he thinks he has left his watch at home, and takes it out to see if he has got time to return home and get it.

I told the darn ed thing she’d lose me.” -> Two women in Kansas have gone in as partners into the law business They propose to be sisters-in-law.

Not so much to make so much noise about after The Directors of the Griffin and Madison rail road met a few days ago and resolved to changn it from a narrow to a broad gaugn, and make it a first class road in every respect. A portion of the negro Senattors refused to vote either way on the resolution repelling the attacks of Bullock upon the people of the State.

First Negro Nomination. —The following dispatch chronicles the first negro nomination in the Northern States. Rochester, N. Y.

There is an accredited rumor here that Bullock and Kimball will not return to this country —Macon Citizen. Two notable refugees are abroad in the country—Brigam Young aud Rufus Bullock. A guest at a Western hotel, see ing a long hair in his butter, order ed the waiter to bring him some “baldheaded butter.” A Salt Lake letter states that Brigam Young instructed Delegate Hooper to propose to Congress the admission of Utah as a State upon the abolition of polygamy, and the suits against Mormons to be with- I drawn. Wise Sayings. Few accidents are so unhappy but may be mended by prudence ; few so happy but may be ruined by im prudence. Men make themselres ridiculous, not so much by the qualities they have, as by the affectation of those they have not. He generally talks most who has least to say. To say little and perform much, is the characteristic of a great mind. He that does good for good’s sake, seeks neither praise nor re ward, though sure of both at last. Force may be subdued, but love gains; and he that forgives first, wins the laurel. A man that gives his children a habit of industry, provides for them better than by giving them a stock of money. To be a man’s own fool is bad enough, but the vain man is every body’s. The covetous, the angry, tke proud, the jealous, the talkatives, cannot but make ill friends, as well as false.

Without A Parallel. —The demand for Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Regula tor is beyond precedent in the annals of popular remedies. Orders come in so thick and fast that the Proprietor has, heretofore, been unable to fill them all. He is happy to state that arrangements are now complete by which he is prepared to manufacture Female Regulator on a scale equal to the emergency, and the public may feel assured that their wants can now be supplied. Physicians, of high re pute, are using this great remedy, in daily practice, all over Georgia.— Hereafter no woman need suffer from suppressed, suspended or irregular men struation. This valuable medicine is prepared by L. H. Bradfield, Druggist Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1 50 per bot tle by respectable Druggists through out America Be Guided by 'What You Know. There is an old proverb which says, “ Experience is the safest guide.” To this guide the sick and ailing naturally turn when casting about for the means of relief. They inquire what a medicine has done for others, before they adopt it themselves. Os all the remedies and preventives in use, llostetter’s Stomach Bitters meets the test most triumphantly, hence its immense pop ularity and vast sales. The sufferer from indigestion is sure to find someone among his friends who has been cured of that ail ment by the famous vegetable stomachic. The victim of lever and ague, liver com plaint, constipation, nervous prostration, or general debility, has only to make inquiry in the neighborhood where he resides in or der to discover what this standard restora tive has effected in cases similar to his own. In the published testimony to its merits he will find a volume of proofs of its sanitary properties, which it is impossible for his common sense to resist. He tries it, and the effect it produces on his system adds another to the host of witnesses in its favor Thus, its reputation, founded on faets, not assertions, continually grows and spreads. Charlatans and impostors, some of them mere local tricksters, and others who take a somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands and down the throats of in valids, their haphazard concoctions, as sub stitutes for the tonic which for so many years has been a medicinal staple through out the United States, Spanish America, Canada, and the West Indies, but only suc ceed to a very limited extent, In this rea soning age, the people, having ascertained what is really deserving of their confidence! decline “running after strange gods.” " CARTERSVILLE Car Factory AND BUILDING ASSOCIATION!
