The gospel of Christ, is being preached with power, and multitudes of souls are being converted and added to the church. Yet this revival in liuencc is not felt in every community as we would like to sec it. In many localities the religious dearth is very great, both in town and country, more particularly, however, in the former. Cartcrsviile, with her super abundance of ministers, is doing but lilile or nothing towards stirring up her people on the subject of religion. One minister waits on another, and one church waits an anoth er, to take the initiative step in this direc tion, and between them all nothing is done. Here, in and immediately around Carters villc are over three thousand souls, the lar ger proportion of whom are non-professors of religion ; and many, doubtless, who arc professors are not possessors, and yet the harvest season is rapidly passing away and the summer drawing to a close, and not a single shout of victory, perhaps, lias been heard in the camps of Israel, during thi 8 year—not one soul, out of this multitude of souls for whom Jesus died, has been re deemed from the thralldom of sin. “When tlie midnight cry begins, Oil what lamentation ! Thousands sleeping in their sins, Neglecting their salvation.” and who is to be blamed for this neglect?— The sentinels upon the watch-tower who see the enemy approaching, and fail to sound the alarm. We are admonished to “cry aloud and spare not.” The church is cold and the world is indiflerent; the former superinduces the latter, we fear. If the church was alive, sinners would be alarmed. “Awake thou that sleep est! and Christ wil! give thee life,” is the promise directed to us all. “Our faith is weak,” is the cry extort ed. “Lord, increase our faith,” should be our constant prayer,— “we would believe, Lord, help thou our unbelief!” “There are 100 many men trying to get a living without tilling the soil,” was an ar gument edvanced in our hearing, a few days since, ou our streets, by one of our staunch est citizens, in hid endeavors to account for the tightness of the times financially. “Not so!” was the reply of another, “There are already too many producers for consumers, and that is the mason our produce brings nothing in market, after wc have made and gathered it,” continued he. Wc thought that maws head was level. If our mineral and manufacturing interests were developed as they might and should be, they would bring iu a corps of consumers that would secure the sale, at fair prices, of every mar ketable product raised on a farm, besides throwing upon the markets of the world the vast resources of our section, outside of farming, which is now lying dormant and unavailable, and for which the gold and sil ver of the eastern, and the gcenbacks of the western, worlds would be readily exchanged, thereby giving our section a base of opera tions that would make all departments of business mutually remunerative and profit able. While we would say nothing detri mental of our agricultural interests and pur suits, for,-' upou its ifticcess hinges the com merce of the world, we do say that, at this period of affairs, in this section of country, farming offers less inducements than almost tn y other department of business, and for reasons above assigned—to-wit: there are 100 many producers for consumers. Look at the great W'est —a vast grainery and lard er—just ready to pour the contents of its teeming barns into the lap of the South, while our own farmers, in numerous instan ces, are unable to command prices for their produce sufficient to pay the onorous and oppressive taxes assessed and awaiting li quidation. The West must rely upon its agricultural resources to make money. YVe have other and greater resources, if we will only develop them. We cannot compete with tho West neither in prices nor quanti ty* They ean raise, pack and cure bacon at from 7to 9 cents. We cannot, therefore they can and will undersell us. But our mountains, hills, and vallies teem with rich 01 es, and our streams abound with magnifi cent w ater-powers, while our forests wave vv th timbers and lumber unsurpassed if equalled in the world. With these advanta ges we can and must and will win, it is only a matter of time. At least, ‘so we ihink. „ The Old Bartow Iron Works, between this place and Allatooua, is beginning to assume tbe appearance of a country village, yuite a number of new houses have gone up fur ij e employees, and workmen are now en gaged on the shed which covers in the furn nee. It will not be a great while before ! hese works will be in full blast. protracted meeting was commenced Felton’s Cross Koads M. E. Church, on ay night last, under tho direction of '■‘-'V.

Felton will preach the funeral of Mrs. Charlie Wofford, from the court- ' house in this place, on next Sunday morn ing. The funeral of old mother Stegall will be preached, at the same hour, from Ste-1 gall’s Chapel, across the river south of this 1 place, four miles distant, by Rev. 8. 11. | Smith. We make these announcements for the benefit of the relations and friends of both these deceased sisters and loved ones. We are glad to learn that the Messrs. Ro berts, of this place, are making arrange ments to put a fine, large brick Livery Sta ble, on, the lot between the Star Saloon and Charlie Wofford’s blacksmith shop, on the east side of the Ratlroad near the Depot.— We are rejoiced to learn that these two worthy and drive-ahead gentlemen are pre paring to settle down permanently in our midst. Give us a few more such men and Cartcrsviile will shove off upon such a sea of prosperity as will secure her a safe an chor in the harbor of consummate success. Wc have knowu them long and intimately, and can and do say truthfully, that they don’t know how to stoop to a low, mean act. Though not professors of religion, in their respect for the house of God, liberality, and due regard for religion, coupled with their high gentlemanly bearing and decision of character, they should put to blushes many |of those who are. We love them for their magnanimity of soul and integrity of char acter. LOCAL ITEMS. JT OW I\ M A.T TE lfc!-». «T. T. Gibson, Local Etlitor. BtsOF After several days of damp and muddy weather, old Sol has bgain showed his face, dispersing the murky clouds, and shedding his brilliant rays upon old mother earth, infusing now life, energy and vigor into all. J&SsT* Tho regular night passenger train from Atlanta, bound for Chat tanooga, on Saturday night last, was delayed at this place several hours, by a freight train running off above Cass Station. Nobody hurt. Her Our friend, W. J. McCarson, of Pine Log, has succeeded in captur ing three of the prisoners who broke Jail on Wednesday night last. Ho overtook them in Gordon County, on the road-side, asleep, and it is useless to add that he ‘disturbed their morn ing slumber.’ Johnson, Fulton and Carson, arc the three Mac caught.— The four yet at large, had better keep their eye3 “skint,” or Mac will have them before long. BST We are sorry to learn that our fellow-townsman, Mr. B. Scofield, was badly hurt on Friday last, by the fall ing of a scaffold, upon which he was standing, trying to hang a largo iron door, which he had made for the new jail. We hope for his speedy recovery. Business of all grades, pretty good, and getting “gooder,” and Gus Skinner says he don’t care a cent if is. BS3L. Several sable devotees of the shrine of Bacchus, imbibed freely of benzine last Saturday, it being a fine day for that business. MT When we consider the many heart-aches and troubles, the sighs and tears, the strong ties of friendship which have been severed and forever, by the speaking of an unkind or harsh word, it should influenco us to try and control our tempers, and be more guarded in what we say, and how we say it, lest in after and maturer years our consciences should smite us.— Who cannot call to mind, in retro specting the dark past, some unkind, cruel or harsh word, spoken in anger to some loved one, who now, perhaps, sleeps iu the cold and silent grave* the memory of which gives us pain’ and fills our hearts with sorrow. And how truly and sincerely do we regret it when, alas! it is too late; and how we wish to live the time over, and how differently would we conduct ourselves, if we could. Let us all strive to live iu such a way that in after years we can look back through the dim vista of time, and find nothing which will bring blushes to our cheeks, tears from our eyes or remorse to our conscience; no rash act, no cruel, unthoughted, unkind or harsh w’ord, spoken by us, jestingly or in auger, that caused oth ers trouble, or cast a shadow o’er their future happiness, and wo will be as happy as it is possible for us to bo in this world of disappointments, trials, troubles and sorrows. We take all that back about old Sol and his bright rays, for it rains awhile, and then it don’t, and when it don’t the sun shines, so it is impossible to speak positively—hence we remark, that it rains, during which time, therais no sunshine,|and then it ‘don’ts,’ and the sun does shine.

A gentleman in Sparta has cleared his house of cockroaches by scatter ing about a liberal supply of old-fash ioned red wafers.

A man who was driving a cow through the streets of Waupun, Wis„ was so much flustered by a sudden bow from a lady that, in return, he made a bow to the cow and threw a stone at the lady. Andrew Johnson was right when he said the internal revenue system is destroying public morals, and dividing the people into two classes—tho tax payers who seek to cheat the Govern ment out of all the tax they can, and the tax collectors who steal all of the tax they dare to, after they have col lected it. A Mississippi negro was recently set upon by a party of Ku-Klux. Oa being questioned he said his K. Iv. friends were of the colored persuasion.
