<Joptirtner»fii|» Notice.
Ail hail I to the readers of the Ex
press—a merry Christmas and a hap
py NEW YEAR! After a short peri
od of recreation —social re-unions and
holiday festivities, where all was as
merry as the marriage bell, we again
congratulate you, one and all, upou
year good fortune in a safe transit from
the old to the new year, with such
happy surro ridings upon its entrance,
and so glorious a prospect aw iit
ing you in its future. The first day of
the new year EiyJtteen Hundred and
Seventy-One, dawns upou us in radiant
beauty, while daiue nature smiles and
chants the praises of Him who sc.li
ters and directs the invigorating sun
beams as they imprint the kiss of re
conciliation and good will upon the
cheeks of God’s fallen but intelligent,
creatures—sons of toil and sorrow—
and to light up the thorny maze of life,
imparting life and health and peace.
We begin the new year under some- j
what different auspices to that with
which we dosed the old one, having
associated with us, in the interest and :
conduct of the Express, our friend and i
fellow-townsman, Col. James Watt J
Harris, a gentleman of eminent ability J
both as a writer and speaker, and oj!
antecedents as clear as the noon-day
sun. His character and standing in
this community is too well and favora
bly known for us to add anything
thereunto in the shape of eulogies.—
He is a ripe and finished scholar, and,
consequently wields an able pen—a
Christian gentleman and Man of God
in whom is blended the higher and
nobler attributes of character essential;
to his useful life in the origination and 1
promulgation of facts in morals and \
useful knowledge and general informa- i
tiou, through the columns of the Ex
press. With his sage counsel and en
lightened wisdom to aid in its direc
tion and conduct, the Express has, in
the future, the prospect of a brilliant
and useful career. S. H. SMITH
We have the pleasure, therefore, of
introducing to our readers, and the
fraternity at large, our worthy asso_
date and co-laborer, Col. Jas. W. Har
ris, in the following brief card :
■
The undersigned having associated j
himself in the conduct and proprietor- j
ship of the Express, with its well-known I
and popular Editor, S. H. Smith, will, j
for the future, devote himself, with
what ability he may have, to its exten- ;
siou and usefulness. With no kuowl- \
edge of journalism he flatters himself
that he may nevertheless be able to
cull somewhat from the passing events
aud literature of the day, which may 1
not prove unprofitable or uninteresting J
to its numerous readers. With sincere j
distrust of his abilities to discharge]
properly the duties which he now as
sumes, he begs the indulgence of the ;
patrons of the Express, aud the kindly
notice and sympathy of the Editorial
fraternity, assured of the fact that suc
cess in this department of business is
not a gift to be obtained by the mere
taking, but is the slow growth of long
and dilligent labor aud practice. On
ly a co-laborer with friend Sam, the
most'that he can promise is to lighten |
something of his burthens, yielding to
him always the chief place in the col
umns of the Express, and the favor of j
the public.
In reference to the overwhelming
complimentary plastering with which
he lias been pleased to introduce me to
bis readers and the press, and which
lay modesty disclaim as altogether un
merited, however kindly said, I reply j
that it reminds me of an anecdote well
known to the older members of the
Bar of the former Western Judicial
Circuit, in this State, lhere lived in 1
the town of Lawreusville, in Gwinnett
county, some years r.go, a well known
hotel keeper by the name of Jemmy |
Wardlaw. Jemmy had provided large
ly and industriously'for the Superior j
Court then iu session, and everything
was ample and abundant, save aud ex
cept the single article of butter, which
was very scarce and selling at a very
high price. It so happened that a par
ty of Kentucky horse-drovers stopped
at his house during the term of the
Court, and being gentleim nos robust
appetites, applied themselves vigorous
ly to the store of good things placed
before them on tbe table, paying, un
fortunately for Wardlaw, special atten
tion to the butter. They cut it, tney
hacked it, they hewed it, they gouged
it, hunk after hunk disappeared be
j tween their capacious jaws, as if the
! miserable tavern keeper had all the
dairies of the Wae grass region at his
command. Ward law because fidgety
—uneasy. He coold not hold himself
1 still, or conceal his anxiety and dis
may at this terrible Kentucky ou
! s’aught upon his butter dish; fttfd
there he stood behind them .is they
sat furiously wasting away his butter,
eagerly, yet involuntarily, gesticulating
j at every fresh gash of their knives, and
fiercely stroking* his own throat at ev
ery swallow of his rayeuous guests,
when Bob Doughertv, a facetious mem
bet of the bar, famed for bis fun, and
an eye for the ridiculous, observing
WurJhw's perplexity, stepped up, and
slapping the disconcerted host upon
the shoulder, meaningly and quizieaUy
said. “1 low do you like it, Jemmy ?”
“Dud-burn it, Squire,” said he, “I don’t
care a suap for the butter, but the
Lord have mercy upon me, just see
how they spread it on !”

The style of the firm, in the future,
will be known and distinguished as
S. 11. Smith A Cos. All subscriptions
for the paper, not paid in advance, will
from and after the Ist January, 1871,
be due and paid to the new firm, and
advertisements inserted from and af
ter that date, as also all job work, will
be due to the new firm. All job work,
advertisements and subscriptions prior
to that date is due to and be collected
by S. H. Smith, and contracts for ad- j
vertising made by him prior to Janu
ary Ist, 1871, will be carried out by !
the new firm but payable to S. H. j
Smith.
In order, therefore, that our future
: dealings and intercourse may be har-
J omnibus, we call upon our old patrons,
j who may be in arrears for job work,
subscription and advertising, to come
forward and pay up at ouce.
With the assistance of Col. J. W,
Harris, Associate Editor, and other
able and spirited writers who have
promised us regular and occasional
contributions, we can promise the
readers of the Express a paper, in ev
iry respect, worthy of their patronage
and support.
The Semi-Weekly Cauteusville Ex- j
press, is one of the very cheapest
papers published in the State. It be
ing as large as a majority of weeklies,
and two papers a week, at ONLY i
TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, strictly in !
ADVANCE, certainly places it in the ;
grasp of every family and individual
newspaper reader in Bartow and all I
the surrounding counties. We do not |
hope to make any clear money on our j
subscription, but the circulation is
what we are after and intend to have.
As soon as we get such a circulation j
as will authorize it, other and superior
arrangements will be made to increase
its dimensions and capacities for use
fulness. Let one fact be remembered,
and that is, our two issues weesl/ en
ables us to give as much reading mat
ter as any country weekly paper in the
State, and at as low, if not lower, sub
scription price.
The Express, will continue in the fu
ture, as in the past, politically, Demo
cratic to the core, while its columns, in
the main, will be devoted to the Ntws,
Agriculture, Literature, Science, Art,
Home and Foreign Intelligence, and
more particularly to the development
of the resources of our beloved Chero
kee Georgia, the building up of our
growing and prosperous town, and
the advancement of the material inter
ests of our county and section.
Hoping that we may have a pros
perous year, and that peace aid good j
will may abound all over the laud, we
close these introductory remarks by
wishing you, one and all, a happy new
year! * S. H. SMITH.

flgl* A certain Judge, while attend
ing court in a shire town, was passing
along the road, when a boy was just
etting down the bars to drive some
cattle in. His father stood in the door
of his house on the opposite side of the
road, and seeing what his hopeful was
doing, shouted out, ‘John, don’t you
drive them cattle in there: I told you
to put them in the pasture behind the
house.’ The boy took no notice what
ever of the remonstrance, and his fa
ther repeated the order in a lou ler
tone without the least effect, and th e
third time gave postive orders not to
drive the cattle in there. The sou did
not look up, and disobeyed the paren
i tal order in a way that positively shock
ed the Judge, who looked at the eitl
; prit, said in a tone of official authority,
! ’Boy, don’t you hear your father speak
| ing to you ? ‘Oh y-a-s-s!’ replied the
! boy, ‘but I don’t mind what he Says.
Mother don’t neither and ’tween she
and I we’ve about got the dog so he
don’t.’

BEAUTY AND BOOTY IN PETTICOATS—THRU,-
UNO EXPERIENCE OF A GUERNSEY COUN
TY FARMER—HOW A LADY LOST HER GAME
j Bt A TKDFUSE DISPLAY OF LEATHER.
The following incident, which oeeur
i ltd la.->t week iu Guernsey county, has
la flavor of tic* times when Dick Tn’ pin
and kindred spirits w >rked their own
sweet wills upon the people of “Merrv
1 England.”
j A gentleman going to Cambridge in
j a two-horse carriage, for the purpose
of paying taxes, was accosted by a well
I dressed lady, who asked the privilege
jof riding with him to the village. He
I hail a pair of excitable horses, and lies
1 itated about risking a lady’s life be
rkind them. But she declared she was
jnot a bit afraid, aud the gentleman at
last consented to let her share his seat.
She was a sprightly companion, and
the geutlemau was beginning to-con
gratulate himself upon having her so
ciety, when, in changing her position
the lady displayed —not the and linty an
kle and accompanying stocking that ho
expected to see, but a pair of unmista
kable men’s boots!
Here was a surprise-indued. Install t
-1} T visions of all the burglaries aud high
; way adventures that have recently
made Guernsey county as pleasant an
abode as a mining district of Califor
nia, flashed across his miud. The roy
ial Dane was not more app died at the
appearance of his fatherly ghost, than
I was our farmer friend at these iuno
■ cent pair of boots. No more he thought
jabout
“Her feet beneath her petticoats
Like little mice stole in and out,”
; but only of the awful things which
| might happen from a pair of boots ap
pearing in such a place. True, it might
have been Olive Logan, or some other
strong-minded one, practicing behind
the scenes at wearing the breeches,
aud beginning, as it were, at the be
ginning. But our rural friend couldn’t
or didn’t see it iu that flight- “Rob
, oer” was the only exf>Tt»T»ftk>n that ap-
I peared possible to him and acted
upon that idea. v
Politely ignoring the liberal (fr "*l
of calf, (it was tanned in the regif.v’lJ,
way and therefore mentionable
jhe drove along as if nothing had b' a P" •
pened, less profuse in his compliments*
but thinking very rapidly. Sudden
ly he dropped his whip by the roadside,
and as he could not leave his horses in
charge of the young lady, he was reluc
tantly compelled to request her to get
out and return it. Exercising the usu
al carefulness of her sex in protecting
her feet from the gaze of vulgar men,
she descended, picked up the whip aud j
handed it to her companion. This
was the supreme moment of his life!
Instantly striking the horses one tre'
mendous blow, he sped away with the
speed of wind, aud left the fair damsel
staring after him in vacant wonder.
After driving a mile or two, he toned
down his chargers and made an inspec
tion of the lady’s muff, when he discov
ered a beautiful revolver, with six holes
in one end and the other filled with lit
tle brown metallic cases, all ready for
immediate action. In the satchel of
the fair stranger was a nice set of bur
glar’s tools, with vn hich slie doubtless
practiced in her moments of relaxation-
The gentleman, of course, imagines
that bo fell in with a dangerous man—
a burgler and highwayman, in short—
but as it is the sex’s privili ge to carry
revolvers, and use them, if need be, of
course lie.is mistaken. He merely saw
the velvet drawn back from the tiger’s
claw --a sight which many a poor fel
low is often regaled with, without be
ing surrounded by such piquant cir
cumstances. Os course the tale will be
told in a differ way, and the country
gentleman will seek to be the hero of
the hour; but our readers not to be- 1
lieve a word of it. He merely ran a
way from a “Pu s in Boots.” — Barnes

Immortality.
Turn whithersoever we will, we find
the belief in immortality. In every na
tion ever known, in every race that has
ever lived, in every aga of this cuang
ing world, we find it. Every language
known to man, as dow or Heretofore
spoken among the babblers o f this
earth, is constructed in accordance
with it. In all ages, men iu dying have
looked, on death as simply the soul’s
putting off its tabernacle. Thera are
exceptions, but they are so few that
they hardly attract onr attention,-and
do not destroy the practical accuracy
of onr statement. The belief iu im
mortality is one oi the universal com
victions of the race.

SQL. In compliance with public no
' tice given by the Governor iu October,
, bids were receved for the lease of the
Western aud Atlantic Railroad until
the 25th instant On opening the bids
the road was let to a company of the
| following gentlemen, to wit: John P.
. King, Joseph E. Brown. Alexander H.
• Stephen*, John T. Grant, Benjamin H.

|Cook, Thomas A. Scott, William T.
Matfcli wa, William B. Diustaore, H. B.
Plant , Thomas Allen, and their asso
ciates, making iu all twenty-three.
Other bids were made, but parties fail
ed to comply with the law requiring the
rendering of sufficient security. The
successful company is one of the
strongest ever formed in the South,
The shareholders represent, in their
own right, over fifteen millions of dol
lars. They give by securities the fol
lowing railroad companies: The Geor
gia, the Central, the Southwestern, the
Macon and Western, Atlantic and
West Point, the Macon aud Brunswick,
and Albany, in Georgia: the Nashville
! and Chattanooga, of Tennessee, and
the St. Louis and Iron Mountain, of
Missouri. The companies signiug as
securities are worth twenty millions.
The high cnaracter of the lessees and j
their undoubted solvency, and the large
capital of the company, are ample
guarantees that the road will be well
managed and the terms of the lease
faithfully complied with. The rental
agreed to be paid to the State is $25,
000 pei’ month for twenty years, and
the road is to be returned in as
good a condition in every respect as it
now is at the end of the lease.
Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown resigned
his office as the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court before putting in the i
bid, and has been unanimously elected
President of the new company to whom
the road is leased.

Dear girl! what faith and courage

She was going to Jesus through the

was not afraid. That is the kind of;

[For the Express, j
The Common School.
Mr. Editor ; I see, iu the last issue of your |
paper, the name of Col. J. W. Pritchett sug- |
' gested by ‘‘Many Votnra,’’ as a suitable can
| didate for a member the Beard of Education j
i for the 822 District, and as the Act provides I
for a member from each incorporated town,
i in addition to those to be elected by the dis.
j ferent Maßtia LisdiL-ts, I beg leave to sug
gest the name of Rev. Theodore E. Smith aa
a candidate for member from the town of
Cartersville. Although the t tfi-e has no sal
ary attached to it, and the service rendered
; will be entirefy gratuitous, still, it is an im
portant one to the people of the town and
county. The efficiency of the Common
•School Law will be in | r< -port ion to the in
tcligence and energy of the Board cf Coin
; mission erg, ;uid th ir devotion to the cause
of education. It therefore behooves the peo
ple in each 1 istriet and incorporated town
to see to it th t their most intelligent, ener
getic and self-sacrificing citizens are nomi
nated for Commissioners, and prevailed up
on to serve.
W hile upon this subject, I recollect that
the law provides that three Trustees shall be
elected from each District and incorporated
Town, to perform certain duties in conncc.
tion with the Common Schools; and presum- j
ing that there will be no nominating couven- 1
tion to put out candidates, your correspond
ent takes the liberty of nominating the fol
lowing uamed gentlemen, as candidates for
Trustees for the town of Cartorsville, vii.
Col. John 'J*. Coxe, Judge John L. VVikle
and James Attaway. Esq. These gentlemen
: have not been consulted in reference to this
j matter, but we feel assured, from the known
patriotism and philanthropic character of
the gentlemen in question, that they will not
hesitate to serve the people in this matter
affecting the public weal, even at some little
sacrifice of their private interests. These
nominations are made in order to get the i
matter iu ship shape, and to secure an or
ganization. If anyone has a better ticket
than this, let him bring it forward. If not,
et. us all support this one. Let each Dis- i
trict in the county bring out candidates for
Commissioners and Trustees with side refer
ence to their cfjicirnqf, and studiously avoid
anything like party polities in this matter. ,
In this way, and this way only, can we ex
pect any good results from this comman
school law. It is undoubtedly a good law,
if it can be properly carriod out. If not, it
will only prove a burthen, without any cor
responding benefits. Let us strive to secure
the benefits A. CITIZEN.
