hig I air week, in our apology for
tha lack of locals in this inane.
The Fair
Is progressing finely. We were
fearful that there was too much diffi
deuee exhibited on the part of the cit
izeu* of Bartow couuty, towards an
enterprise upou which so much of her
future welfare vas staked, but we are
more than ever l>efore hopeful as to
its final results. The year has been a
▼ery inauspicious one for fairs. The
people are in debt. The wheat and
o and crops were almost an eutiro failure,
the cotton crop not much better, while
the corn crop will barely supply home
consumption with a considerable sup
of the old one to help. The hay |
crop has been very good, but unfortu
nately but little was raised for market.
In addition to all this, a grievous and
burdensome tax is npon us, which
most be speedily met and liquidised.
Under all these adverse circumstances,
we are truly rejoiced to seo such a
gratifying display of both the beauti
ful and useful handiworks of the
household and farm. Iu the ladies de
partment, while we do not find as
great variety us we would like to see,
and as we know, under more favorable
auspices, would have beeu exhibited,
yet that which is ou exhibition is of a
very superior quality, and will com
pare, as far as it goes, favorably with
any like exhibition iu the South. Just
enough is .xhibited there to show to
the world what our ladies can do, and
what they will do, when it comes to
the test. We challenge the world to
beat it as far ns it goes.
The dairy, garden and pantry, are
exceedingly thinly represented, which
we are sorry to see. Notwithstand
ing the year has been a hard one, we
know our people could have done
much better in these departments if
they had willed it. There is a consid
erable falling off here from last year.
The agricultural department, outside
of live stock, is almost a total failure.
This is more for waut of interest than
for lack of resources to make it inte
resting, and, we don’t know but that
the word “Agricultural” is a misnomer
when coupled with these fairs, for
there is not enough in this department
to make it even a side issue, yet every
farmer makes a little wheat, corn, cot
ton, outs, rye, barley, hay, bacon, etc.,
and might, if they would, make this
department passuble if uot exceeding
ly interesting.
The mechanical department is also
very thinly represented, but what
specimens are on exhibition, are truly
worth}’ to be. They speuk in louder
tones thau we can iu the praise ol
tue dosig mrs and executors of the
work.
The artistic department, though
limited, is not only good but very
good.
The live stock department is far
more numerous than lust year. Iu
fact, the exhibition should be called
the Stock Fair,” as this depart
ment seems to create all the sensation*
The speed ring well nigh absorbs eve
rything else. We are glad to see our
people interesting themselves iu the
improvement of live stock, and it
would iucrea.se our joy very much if
they would only muuifest the same in
terest in all other kiudred depart
ments. Then we would have an agri
cultural fair indeed.
Notwithstanding fill the drawbacks
which we have enumerated above, the
fair is interesting, olid allows us to
bo|>e that better things may be done
in the future. All that remains to put
it beyond a peradventure, is a little
more zeal and energy on the part of
onr people, whieh we are encouraged
to believe will be fully demonstrated
n the future. The greatest drawback,
fin our opinion, to the complete suc
cess of the enterprise, is the indiffer
ence shown on the part of the citizens
of Cartersville. We did expect that
inasmuch as the fair was at their
doors, and inasmuch as the business
men of Cartersville would derive more
benefit from the fair than anybody
else, that they would manifest a great
er degree of interest in it. But we
find in this we are mistaken. But a
very few of our mechanics exhibit any
thing. and not one in ten of our citi
zens even honor the occasion with
heir presence.
Ob yesterday the crowd was consid
erably increased from the day before,
and things looked a little more like
business. The able and practical ad
dress of Hou. Thomas Hardeman, Jr.,
of Macon, Ga., was replete with words
of wisdom and wholesome admoni
tions to the people of Cherokee Geor
gia, It was the effort of a master
mind, eloquent, logical and spirited,
and should be read and heeded by the
people of the entire JSta'e and South,
Misapplied <«cnii»*
Genius is a vigorous plant. In the
exotic splendor of the cultivated intel
lect or the weediness of an untrained
di-pravity it flourishes with equal
(strength; in the one it entwines with
j gentle thoughts, noble emotions and
i honorable ambitious; in the other it
chokes all these which are weaklings in
such a soil and absorbs them in its
own rack profusion. The sweet sub
limity of the juoet, the colossal grand
cur of the statesman, the sparkling
effervescence of the wit, and the com
prehensive coiiceptivenessof the mech
anician are but the cultured fruit of
the same plant that, bearing but pois
onous berries, luxuriates iu the brain
of tlie schemer, the forger and the
co .spirutor.
You may call genius by a hundred
other names when you see it gross and
base; it may be **mere low cunning,”
“cuteneis,” “sharpness” or “ingenui
ty,” but it is still genius; and you
may as well deny the cat consanguini
ty with the lion as say there is no rela
tionship between the mind that frames
a bridge to sp.m a river and the one
that forges a key to pick a lock; or be
tween the general who plans a siege
and the magsmun who concocts a bur
glary. Quickness, resolution and tact
are the requisites of each operation,
and these are essentially the qualities
of genius.
Opening the great book of human
nature, let us take a passing glance at
the way Band doings of misapplied ge
nius—the weed, not the fljwer. In
London it abounds on all sides, and
we need not seek far for a specimen.
There is a demi-semi-respectable
man sauntering down Regent street.
He is too anxiously peering into the
faces of the passers-by to be a loung
er, he is too careless of the gaudy win
dows to be a countryman, he is too
cleanly shaven, white cravated, and
well brushed to be a pickpocket, but
he looks what he desires to look, like
a waiter out of a situation. Suddenly
his little eyes twinkle with mischief,
and he darts among the c.tbs and car
ringes to the other side of the road,
ami for the next ten minutes dodges
the footsteps of a young genthman
who is strolling leisurely along, gazing
w’iih undisguised wonder at the shops
and the people. The quarry stops to
look at u photograph, and, with the
timidest tone and stealthiest step, the
hunter approaches him. “I beg your
pardon, sir,” says the misapplied geni
us in the accents of abashed modesty,
“but have 1 the honor to speak to Cap
tain Bigboy of the Blues?” and before
the fluttered and astonished young
gentleman can deny the imputation,
huadds: “Ah, sir, glad to see you’ve
not forgotten your friend Charles, the
waiter at the club, sir; but I am not
in the club now. No sir, as you may
remember, I went into the tobacco
line—don’t you recollect the subscrip
tion, sir?—and got on well till lately,
ami then, sir, if you only kimw what
I’ve gone through—but time hours
ago the bailiffs were put into the
house, and I’ve managed to smuggle
away from the shop five or six boxes
of cigars, which, sir, I’ve got in the
back parlor of a house close handy,
and if you will ouly purchase one from
me, Captain, you shall have it as cheap
as dirt. ’ For a moment he pauses,
and the young gentleman tells him he
is mistaken. There is such an air of
deep disappointment upon the coun
tenance of the misapplied genius, us
with a sigh he retires, that the good
natured young gentleman recalls him
and says: “If you really have the ci
gars to sell cheap—and five minutes
afterward he finds himself in the back
parlor alluded to. There awaiting
their arrival is a boy, ingenui v alt us
purr, ingrnuiaur purdoris, who is intro
duced as "my son, sir.” And several
boxes of cigars are brought forward,
and one selected for inspection, con
turning a couple of hundred of the
choicest Havanas, worth at least two
guineas a pound. The victim chooses
one cigar, lights it, finds it perfection,
and gives the ex-writer thirty shillings
for the box. More he would buy, but
having little over that amount in his
pocket, he is forced to refrain. “Jim,
wrap it up for the gentleman, while I
show him a merschaum, and the mis
applied genius produces one or two
• laborutely curved pipes from his
pocket, bul being unable to conclude
a bargain, shows the young gentleman
with much courtesy to the door, and
bows adieu. When that young gen
tleman reaches the quiet of his own
chamber, and unwraps the box he has
been carrying so carefully, he is not
pleased to rind it contaiu three two
penny bundle* of wooden spells.
Another misapplied genius stands
at Charing Cross. Iu his arms he
bears a little Maltese terrier of about
the size and whiteness of a ball of
worsted, and at the end of a string tug
two little shivering black and-tans.—
A lady passing by fulls in love with
his tiny ship of the white worsted as
pect, and, after a little haggling, buys
him for a sovereign. She hurries
home with her canine atom in a glow
of anticipation and delight, and fully
impressed with the mans directions
“not to let him go, as he is a lively
creeter.” The drawing room is reach
ed, the maiden sisters called to partic
ipate in the rapture, and the treasure
is placed upon the table. There is a
sudden start on the part of pet, a
frisk, a dash, a scramble at the win
dow curtain, and before ten seconds
have elapsed, quick as the harlequin’s
magic in a pantomime, all that remains
of the Maltese beauty is a bundle of
fur and a half stupefied, large brown
rat, who, by a copious narcotic dose,
hus been induced to play the role of
the puppy.
A gentleman’s servant iu a groom’s
livery, one hot summer’s day rested
for refreshment at the bar of a hotel
in the strand. In a common wooden
cage he had a bird, the beauty ana
gorgeousness of whose plumage sur
passed the bird of paradise in hue—
green, gold and crimson rivaled each
other in splendor, and when the by
! slanders were informed tliat he coaid
t "talk like a Christian,” their admira
tion was uubouuded. “But,” said tb<
man-servant, seriously, “he has one
fault—he swears—not often; hut when
he does swear, he’s dreadful.” And
here he looked approvingly at the bar
maid, who began to giggle. “Now,
my mistress,” he continued, “can’t
abide swearing, aud she’s sent me to
sill him to one of the bird dealers iu
St. Ma: tiu s lane for two-|xmnd-teu,
and she gave a ten pound uoteforhim
not four mouths ngo.” The landlord
was a too well to do man to let a
chance like that go away; so, calling j
the mau-aervant one side, he purchas- I
ed the bird for a trifle less than the
sum asked, and sent for an appropri
ate brass cage to put him luto. Tl at
same afternoon, the happy owmer was
exhibiting bis purenase to a friend,
when the beautiful bird stuck its head
on one side, gave a comical look at the
ceiling, and solemnly cried out, “Caw
Jack.” The plumage was a paradisai
cal, but the voice was the voice of the
vulgar; and the astonished laud lord
ami visitor stood aghust at the denoue
ment. Some w'ater and soap soon de
veloped the black wings and back of
the jackdaw', and I question whether
the host would at the present moment
take the two pounds, odd, he gave for
the bird three years ago. That same
unappreciated genius sold, simply in’
public houses, to the knowledge of the
first victim, no less than eight of those
variegated jackdaws iu London, to the
discomposure of the purchasers and
the aggrandisement of his art.
Here stands another genius. A man
on the pavement is selling little black
dolls, aud as he vends, he cries, “Here
you are, here you are, a little black
doll that squeaks like a child, and
ain’t no bigger than a man’s thumb.”
He holds up the tiny black effigy, and
squeezing its sides, a most ludicrous
squeak is emitted from its interior; a
well dressed man makes a hurried raid
upou the hawker, dashes down a pen
ny, and rushes off with his prize, fol
lowed by twenty little boys, yelling to
the top of their voices, “Please, sir, it
ain’t him that squeaks; it’s the man
that squeaks;’’ and that well dressed
mail quickly awakens to the reality
that he is dealing with a misapplied
genius, for the doll is dumb and he has
become an object of ridicule.
To guard against imposture you de
mand a sample, which he conveniently
has in his pocket and seek the wife of
your bosom, whose word in such mat
ters is undeniable. She reports favor
ably—very favorably—and you return
to the room with a coraphauce. All
that remuius for you to see to now is
that the bales are up io the sample.—
The test is again satisfactory, aud the
misapplied genius walks away with
the £ls, and leaves you a hieroglyph
ical receipt and a promise to call again
aud settle iu due time. But ten times
ten days have elapsed, and you go to
G Hawk’s Court, which you find to be
a squalid coffee-house where they nev
er heard of Kite but once, when he
called for some letters he had got per
mission to have directed there. If
you are a strictly honorable person
you will upou this insert an advertise
ment in the Times , informing Kite
that unless he fetches away certain
property left iu your hands it will be*
sold to pay expenses, and having fail
ed to receive an answer, when you en
deavor to carry out your threat you
will discover that the “pique” is sim
ply stamped cotton, worth about sd.
a yard, but so well gotten up that even
a haberdasher could hardly tell it un
til it had been watered, and then the
imposture shows itself with a ven
geance. If you are lucky you will get
a five pound note for your five bales,
aud some experience toward conduc
ting your next commercial transaction
with a missapphed genius.
But generally the advertiser, wish
ing to borrow money upon “ security,”
is a watchmaker, and brings you speci
mens oi his workmanship, which are
so carefully manufactured at Briming
ham that a j<-weller himsdf might be
taken into believing them valuable
property. Upon these he rarely fails
to raise money; but the introduction
of machinery lias rendered this branch
of industry nardly worthy of the at
tention of the nnsappled genius, who
is gradually forsaken it, for the “ prof
it ” is so small, now that we have ma
chine made watching, that much of
such industry is checked.
The daily newspaper affords a capi
tal emporium to the misapplied gen
ius, and enables him to communicate
freely with his less gifted bretheru.
Here he daintily baits his hook with
offers of diamond rings and pins, clus
ter brooches, or gold lever watches,
which an afflicted widow or a depress
ed invalid has been obliged to pawn
and whose “ tickets” she will sell you
for a trifle. In this speculation there
are generally two misapplied geniuses,
the adveit;ser and the p iwnbrokt rs;
for the articles are sufficiently gold to
swear by, and although the sum lent
upon them—or supposed to be lent
upon them—represents the double of
their value, it is difficult to prove col
lusion.
iwo misapplied geniuses made bul
'*&' r 'l.' a nio>t successful tour through
the provinces, exercising their profes
sional capacities with such tact that
there is hardly a watering place in
England in which they have not left a
trail of their footsteps. Into the best
hotel of the place would come two
dashing officers of Her Majesty’s navy
—the one a flue young fellow of twen
ty in a “ middy’s” uniform, the other
a genial rollicking, stout man of for
ty, sunburnt, with black crisp, curly
beard and pearly teeth. Calling for
ihe best the house afforded, the choic
est wines and costliest dinner, they
speedily ingratiated themselves vvim
tne landlord. In the possession of
the eld r was a magnificent stick, real
ly worth fifty pounds, which, of course,
fell iu for its share of admiration. Iu
the course of the evening the landlord
ami pci haps one or two favored cus
tomers were to share a bottle of
wme. Then fell from the lips of the^e
: affable squanderers stories of money
literally thrown away—of a two
roontus’ “cruise ashore,” a scamper
i over the continent, a raking week in
Loudon, interlard* and with so many
amusing adventures, that the listeners
sat entranced till the small hours of
, morning, whilst their enjoyment was
| uot lessened by the unbounded bospi-
I tab,tv of the narrators. On the uext
i morning there was a whisper over the
j place that these wild sailors had pawu
ed in Loudon some immensely valua
! bte jewelry, aud that the lucky land
j lord had, for a ten pound note, bought
j the ticket. The “ ticket” iu question
was l.ke a page from the leaf of a
fairy book, one long list of diamonds,
rubies, cameos and pearls: but when
the fortuuate landlord redeemed the
nr. idea at eighty or ninety pounds, he
found, to his chagrin, that they were
not worth forty. From the very wri
ter of this article these misapplied
I geniuses succeeded iu extracting thir
tj-fiv© pounds, and he met them at
One of the m* *st fashiouable club hous
es of a fashionable watering place.
Bu I had resulvod to restrict my
self to the very lower order of misap
plied genius—the rankest of the w eeds
aud I am already encroaching
upon a class above that I had inten
ded writiug about. Tuis more raudy
and more poisonous social nettle is
sufficiently common to deserve an ar
ticle to itself.
Now, if by the work of education
all these powers of evil could be turn
ed into agents of good; if all the
thought, resolution and courage spent
here in doing ill were brought to bear
on honest industry; if, instead of fight
ing society, all this misapplied genius
fought for society, a mine of wealth
would be added to the common good
and much misery spared; for the most
peculiar feature about misapplied gen
ius is that, however successfully it may
be for a time, iu ninety cases out of a
hundred it dies iu a workhouse or
jail.
JftaT "Sambo, is your master a good
farmer ?”
"Oh, yes, boss first-rate farmer; he
make two crops in one year.”
“How is that Sambo ? ”
“Why, he sells all his hay in the
fall, and make money once; Jen in de
spring he sell he hides of de cable dat
4ie for he want of the hay, and makes
money once.”

Richmond, Va., is the veritable oldest

General Presentments of the
Grant! Jury for the Second
Week of September Term,
1871, Bartow Superior,, Court.
The most of our time having been em
ployed in attention of other matters, we
have not give county matters the attention
we desired.
By our committees, we have exam ; ned
the Records of our county officers, and find
them to be neatly and correctly kept, as for
as we have had time to make the examina
tion.
We find the public roads in the county in
good condition, with the exception of the
road leading from Gilliam’s Old Ferry to
the line of the 4th district, towards Carters
viile, which we recommend the Commis
sioners of Kingston district te have worked
out immediately.
We recommend that the change, peti
tioned for, in the road leading from Adairs
ville to Fairmount, should not be granted;
and that the Ordinary suspend further ac
tion on tho same.
We also recommend that the road leading
from Cartersville to Capt. Puckett’s Ferry
be opened and put upon the original ground
where it originally was; and that the Ordi
nary be required to give a preemptory or
der for the same.
By referring to the presentments of the
jury of last week, we find that they recom
mend hands to be put on the road known as
the ‘’lsland Ford” road, in the 17th district
We find, on investigation, that said road is
not a public road; therefore, bauds cannot
be put on it.
We would respectfully recommend that
the Ordinary publish and let, out contracts,
in future, to build bridges, to the lowest re
sponsible bidder.
We do further recommend that, the prop
er authorities rent the dwelling house at
tached to the jail to the jailor, at a reasona
ble rent, and the proceeds go to the benefit
of the county.
We have examined the General Present
ments of the Grand Jury of last week, and
endorse the same as far sa relates to county
matters, with the exception of the “Island
Ford Koad” in the I7ih district.
We hereby tender to His Honor, Judge W.
F. Wright, our thanks for the ability, im
partiality, and able charge delivered to this
body. We do also, tender our thanks to the
Solicitor General, C. E. Broyles, for his
promptness, courtesy and attention to this
body.
W’e recommend that these presentments
be published in both the Cartersville pa

The Ameriean Washer Save**
Money, Time »;*. I>i iitlfct ry
The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer
Dreaded, but Economy, Einciency, and Clean
Clothing, .sure.
In calling public attention to this little ma
chine, a lew of the invaluable qualities, (not
possessed by any other Washing Machine yet
invented.) are here enumerated.
It is the smallest, most compact, most porta
ble, most simple in construction, most easily
operated. A child ten years old, with a tew
hours practice, can thoroughly comprehend
aud effectually use it. There Is no adjusting,
no soewstoja unoy, no d e t a y in adapting 1 It
is alvvaysread. v *dr use , t t ’is a pen'e i little
wonder ! it * s a M lujat U re giant, doing more
work aud of a better quality, than the luost
elaborate and costly. y, ut . half of the labor is
saved by its u sc \ an d the clothes will last one
half longer tha 11 the old plan ot the rub
board. It will ' va "hthe largest blanket. Three
shirts at a?‘tint®’ washing thoroughly 1 In a
wortl, the ablutio 11 of any labric, Ironi a Ljuilt
to a Lace-Curtai u or Cambric Hahdkerciiici,
are equally within the capacity ot this little
GEM! It cau be fastened to any tub aud faken
off at will. ...
No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment
this little machine is seen to perform its won
ders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and
utility are banished, and the doubter and de
tractor at once become the last friends of the
machine.
We have testimonials without end. setting
forth its numerous advantages over all others,
and from hundreds who have thrown aside the
unwieldy, useless machines. which have signal
ly failed to accomplish the object promised
in prominent and loud sounding advertise
ments.
It is as perfect'for washing as a wringer is for
wringing. The price another paramount in
ducement to purchasers, has been placetl so low
that it is within the reach of every housekeeper,
and there is no article of domestic economy
that will repay the small investment so soon.
fa.so.
AU that is asked for this GREAT
LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We
guarantee each machine to doits work
perfectly.
