A lad from the country, the other day, exclaimed, oa seeing tl.e vestibule of the new Metnodist church, “Well! ff yonder aiut the b'ggest ch'rr.ney that ever 1 did see! and it’s got windows in it, too! If that don’t beat all!” Religious services at the Court-house ou last Sabbath were quite interesting. Dr. Leak preached in the morning, and the ven. erable Mr. George Glireath in the after noon. Plain, practical, earnest, old-fashion ed preaching is very refreshing to some of us, in these fast, hifalutin, degenerate days! Superb lot of Handkerchiefs, Extracts, Colognes, Toilet Powder Setts, &c., for the Ladies at Loyless. 1 Those who amended church ou Sabbath evening last, and who returned before the rain was over, were not iu a good condition to burn as this deponent can testify. The thunders muttered hoarsely on that occa sion, and the rain fell in torrents. In order to keep up a •time-honored” habit, we went fishing on last Saturday cven i ng. We failed to entice any of the finny tribe to engulph into their denticulated mouths a barbed hook upon whose point was affixed a dainty allurement, but we got a glorious nibble. Tub times may be bard about this town, but the streets are not, about this time. The weather is very wet, especially under feet, an l raiher warmly. The Cartersville market is well stocked with dry-goods aud groceries at present, as will be seen by referiug to our advertising columns. We don’t know who is to wear all the goods, and eat all the provisions which arc to be found in town, but wc sup pose the people and others and the inhabit ants round about will take them all off on some terms, after a while. The merchants, who advertise iu our paper, say they intend to sell goods “mity cheap” between now and Christmas. Large StooK of Linseed, Kerosene, Tan ners, Lard, and other Lubricating Oils, now being received at Loyless.. We would direct attention to Messrs.

The cures accomplished by this remedy, as reported, are truly marvel lous. Messrs. Bliss, E ekne & Cos., are reg ular physicians of high standing, and tho roughly reliab'e. If that gravel walk leading from the “Star Saloon” to the Railroad were taken down about a foot, it would not be so high, by about twelve inches, and vehicles could pass over it with greater facility. Besides this, that pond of water would not be there then. But water is ono of the w ants of the town, and we haven’t another word to say. Mammoth Stock of Fresh and Fure Drugs just received- A'o old goods offerd— Entire Stock Fresh at Loyless. Mb. Wm. Kay, an old citizen of Carters ville, died a few days ago. He had been sick for several days, but his condition was not considered dangerous, and his death was rather sudden and unexpected. It is said that he wandered away lrom his room on the night preceeding his death, in asta.e of unconsciousness, and lived but a few hours after his return. He was, or had been, a member of the Methodist Church, was quiet and inoffensive, and we hope the poor old man has gone where the weary find rest, and the and infirm shall flourish in immortal youth. Cm friend, Tom Gibson, expects soon to have his Kock Mart Reporter under way. H*e congratulate our neighbors, the Rock inartens, on the prospect before them, and have no doubt but that they will be fully up with the Ct.rlcvH-villians in some respects, before long. 2000 tts White Lead on hand and to arrive at Loyless. The result of a reduction in prices o f goods is invariably a larger consump lion o f them. This is abundantly verified by the example of Howard & Rarasauv, placing a their goods at the lowest possible prices ; the people have found it out and there t ley most do congregate. The proprietors are kept as busy as bees. It is not saying much for this young house, that they ave already saved their customers many dollars in money, and built for themselves the larg est cash trade in town. Go and save mon ey by buying there. SYNOPSIS OF A PROPOSED BILL TO INCORPORATE CARTKRSYILLE AS A CITY.

Lotless. “ MURDER WILL OUT.” For the past six months Kingston, m Bartow county, has been the scene of a series of burglary exploits that rivalled Jack Shephard, and greatly perplexed the citizens of that notable burg. First the Rome Rail road office was several times entered and efforts made to carry off the safe. Next, T. V. Hargis & Brother were robbed of over a thousand dollars ; then J. G. Rodgers & Cos. had their store entered and relieved of all the cash and valuable paper on hand. A few day*, since the store of Mr. Ros enbaum was broken into and deplet ed to the extent of a goodly quantity of goods and money. No clue to the perpetrators could be Lormed until a few days ago, when Mr. Hargis, having long suspected n negro named Henry Roper, who recently left his employ, telegraphed to Cartersville and had him arrested. Upon searching Henry’s trunk, some of the goods stolen from Mr. Rosen baum was found; whereupon Henry confessed the whole matter and im plicated two or three others. Upon being arraigned before Es quire Couch, the parties all acknowl edged their gnilt, except one. It seems they, in concert with others (negroes), planned and perpetrated all the various robberies above men tioned. They were bound over to appear at the next Superior Court of Bartow county. Failing to give bail they— Henry Roper, Josh Earp and George Blake—were committed to jail yes terday morning.— At. Constitution. AN EXCITING TIME. On Sunday evening quite a con gregation assembled at St. John’s Church, anew edifice constructed at the corner of Irvin and Rolling Mill streets in the Fourth Ward. As Rev. C. A. Evans was reading from the scriptures, the words, “ The Lord upholdeth all those that fall,” the center pillar gave way, precipitating the congregation into a conglomera ted msss of shrieking, struggling, and scared humanity in the center. Fortunately no one was injured. The floor was some four feet from the ground. The pillars, we learn, were very slight and flimsy, and great in dignation is justly felt against the builder for his criminal neglect. The congregation met on the green sward in front of the church and or ganized a Sunday School, with forty two pupils and ten teachers, just the same number as were in the organi zation of the School in the Third Ward. W. W. Thomson is Superin tendent. W. J. Haygood, Assistant Superintendent, and B. C. Chamber lin, Librarian. —Atlanta Constitution. The wheat crop of this section is a very extensive one, and is looking remarkably well, all that is up. Farm ers not yet done sowing. The largest stock of leather and the low. est prices are at Howard & Ramsaur's One of the heaviest rains ever wit nessed, fell in and around this place, on Sunday evening last. It was at tended by severe thunder and light ening. The Rock Mart Reporter print ing office material has a-rived, and w ; ll be shipped ever the Cherokee Railroad to its destination, in a day or two. We understand that a Bill is being pre pared to present to the Legislature, to change the name of Cartersville to “Etowah City.” We suggested that change some time ago, and still think it ought to be made. We are not certain, howeveI’, 1 ’, but that we would prefer the name Etowah without the affix. Etowah is appiopriate, suggestive and pretty. Howard & Ramsaur are nevei, in any case, undersold in the same goods. It can not be done successfully. This fact should be noted by parties about to maEe their winter purchases. HANDSOME STORK. The crockery store of Messrs. P. Mafsh & Cos., of this place, is truly an ornament to our town. Its arrangement, to say nothing of the quality of the stock, evidences good taste. It is realty a treat to visit and look around at the many pretty things displayed on all hands. These gentlemen have but recently made heavy additions of goods to their stock, and they now have a choice se lection. where purchasers cannot fail to make their purchases to their own satisfac tion. We hope onr citizens generally will call aud examine their goods and prices. CHEMICAL MANURES.

They offer bargains. Oct. 17tf The people here all seem to want money. They talk for money, they walk for money, they run for money, they write for money, they think for money, they smile for money, and scratch and pray for the “spondulix!” The complaint is contagious, and we’ve all caught it. 0 bring us money, and we’ll be in a good humor, and love every body, and every body will love us, while our money lasts ! Madam Rumor says that several weddings are expected to come off in this region be tween this and Christmas. The parties suspected of a determination to commit mat rimony ore said to be a number of young men and about as many young ladies. We forbear to mention the names of those thoughtless youths, and shall continue to withhold their names from the public, un less circumstances shall seem to justify a different course. An old friend from the country wonders what Messrs. Roberts & Tumlin mean by building a two-story livery stable! Says he don’t see how they expect to get bosses up and down the stairs. We can’t explain it to him, but guess they will raise them with a block and takle. How is that for high? A good deal of cotton has been brought to our market during the past week. The advance in the price h s bad good effect, and we hope it will continue to be remuner ative for all time to come. Farmers should demand a just and fair equivalent for the products of their labor, or withhold them from market, until consumers are willing to pay something like what they are worth.. “Live and let live ” is a very good motto for all. Tiie health of Cartersyille, and the coun try surrounding, has been remarkably good during the present year ; and this conside ration should fill our hearts with gratitude to Him who is ‘- the author of every good and perfect gift. ” A few households have been made sad by affliction and death, and we have been called to weep with the be reft, but how many of us have been spared and exempted from weariness and watching in the chamber of sickness and death. So general, has the public confidence be come in l>r. Ayer’s medicines, and so great the demand for them, that unprincipled vil lains are attempting to deceive the unwary by imposing upon them their worthless nos trums under a similarity of name. (Jherry Pectoral Lozenges, Dr. Ayer’s Troches. Ayer’s Pastiles for Coughs, Cherry Pecto ral Cough Drops, Ayer’s Fever and Ague Cure, Dr. Ayer’s Indian Pills, &c., See., (none of which are of Dr. Ayer’s manufac ture or composition) are specimens of this villainy and deceit. They not only defraud the sick of their money but of their health, or the recovery of their health, which is far move important than money. From actual counterfeits the people are protected by law which the Doctor promptly enforces, but these evasions sometimes evade the law, and purchasers must protect themselves by refusing to be deceived by them.—Dover (N. H.) Bee. MAXIMS for farmers. If Horace Greeley had written nothing but the following maxims they alone would mark him as a man of varied and extensive informa tion and of rare and valuable pow ers of observation. These maxims afe the concentration of wisdom on the farm, and wc hope our readers will cut them out and preserve them, lliey should be posted up in a con spicuous place and read every day. Success and independence are sure to come to him who follows them : 1. Only good farming pays. He who sows or plants without reasona ble insurance of good crops, annual ly, might better earn wages of some Capable neighbor than work for so poor a paymaster as he is certain to prove himself. 2. The good farmer is proved such by the steady appreciation of his crops. Any one may reap an ample harvest from a fertile virgin soil; the good farmer alone grows good crops at first, and better and better ever afterward. 3. It is far easier to maintain the productive capacity of a farm than to restore it. To exhaust its fecun dity, and then attempt its restora tion by buying costly commercial fertilizers, is wasteful and irration al. 4. The good farmer sells mainly such products as are least exhaus tive. Necessity may constrain him, for the first year or two, to sell grain, or even hay T ANARUS; but be will soon send off his surplus, mainly in cot ton, or wool, or meat, or butter and cheese, or something else that re turns to the soil nearly all that is taken from it. A bank account daily drawn upon, while nothing is deposited to its eredit, must soon respond “no funds.” So with a farm similiarly treated. 5. Rotation is at least negative fertilization. It may not positively enrich a farm ; it will at least retard and postpone its impoverishment. He who grows wheat after wheat, corn after corn, for twenty years, will need to emigrate before that term is fulfilled. The same farm can not support (or endure) him longer than that. All our great wheat growing sections of fifty } 7 ears ago arc wheat growing no longer, while gngland grows larger crops thereof on the very fields that fed the ar mies of Saxon Harold and William the Conqueror. Rotation has pre served these as the lack of it has ruined those. 6. Wisdom is never dear, provi ded the article be genuine. I have known farmers who toiled constant ly from daybreak to dark yet died poor, because, through ignorance, they wrought to disadvantage. If every farmer would devote two hours of each day to reading and reflection, there would be fewer fail ures in farming than there are at present. 7. The best investment a farmer can make for his children is that which surrounds their youth with the rational delights of a beauteous, attractive home. The dwelling may be small and rude, yet a few flowers will enrich and gladden it; while grass and shade are within reach of the humblest. Hardly any labor done on a farm is so profitable as that which makes the wife and chil dren fond and proud of their home. 8. A good, practical education, including a good trade, is a better outfit font .youth than a grand es tate, with the drawback of an empty mind. Many parents have slaved and pinched to leave their children rich, when half the sum thus lavish ed would have profited them far more had it been devoted to the ed ucation of their minds, the enlarge ment of their capacity to think, ob serve and work. The one stucture that no neighborhood can afford to do without is the school-house. 9. A small library of well selected books in his home has saved many a youth from wandering into the baneful ways of the prodigal son. Where parental strictness and sever ity would have bread notding but dislike and a fixed resolution to ab scond the first opportunity, good books and pleasant surroundings have weaned many a youth from his first wild impulse to go to sea or cross the continent, aud made him a docile, contented, obedient, happy lingerer by the parental fireside. In a family, however rich or poor, no other good is so cheap or so precious as thought ful, watchful love. 10. Most men are born poor, but no man, who has average capacities and tolerable luck, need remain so. And the farmer’s calling, though proffering no sudden leaps, no ready short cuts to opulence, is the surest of all ways from poverty and want to comfort and independence. Oth er men must climb ; the temperate, frugal, diligent, provident farmer may grow into competency and ev. ery accessory to eternal happiness. Each year of his devotion to his homestead may find it more valua ble, more attractive than the last, and leaves it better still. A bill to provide for the sale of personal property to rescue loans and other debts with the amendment of Mr. Nunnally: Provided : The con sent of the wife shall first be obtain ed, was taken up in the Senate and passed. This bill provides for the absolute sale of property as security for a loan, the right of redemption being reserv ed to the vendor, said property to re vert and become subject to the claim •of homestead only upon redemption. A bill changing the time of the meeting of the legislature, was also passed by the Senate. A bill to authorize they payment of costs to officers of courts in Bar tow county, has passed the House. A bill to increase the pay of jurors in Bartow county, also has passed the House. A bill to exempt lands in incorpo rated cities and towns when used for agricultural purposes, from taxation, was lost in the House. The Legislature will adjourn on the sth ot December, and meet again on the 1 1 th ot January, to inaugurate v he new Governor. s. & 11. LIEIM IV NEW GOODS, CUM T mrCEMMI'S!
