Now for that electric light plant.
Now let Cartersville kiss and
make up with itself.
The worlds fair, and that the
gratest of worlds fairs, closes De.
cember i.
Mr. Roosevelt now has a pretty
chance to show himself president
of the United States.
Don’t abuse Cartersville. Look
around for something good to say
about this city and say that, and
keep on saying it.
The faithful republicans, each
wanting a job, will make quite a
demand on the office despeusing
powers of the party.
When you hear a kick or a'growl
coming about Cartersville, pour it
back in the jug and look around
for something good to say.
Call it obduracy if you will, but
Russia doesn’t near consider herself
whipped, notwithstanding the not
able string of reverses shto has
been up against.
If we can’t have everything our
way, let’s take the other fellow’s
way and make a long pull and a
strong pull for Cartersville and
Bartow.
Cut out the abuse and the knock
ers. We have no time for that
kind of thing any more. Every
body together for the good and the
growth of Cartersville and Bartow
county.
Our children who will live in
Cartersville alter we are dead are
clearly entitled to as harmonious,
united and aggressive a community
as anybody else’s children. Will
we leave it to them or not?
Persistent praise in the way
of advertising has made articles
of mediocre merit well known
throughout the world. Persistent
abuse has wrecked great enter
prises and Icilled the value and
usefulness of things of great merit.
You can build a city by talking it
up. Yon can kill it by talking it
down.
GEORGIA AT ST. LOUIS.
Sure Exhibit Secures Prizes on Hay, Corn,
Field Peas and Cotton.
* ..ft,.
News comes from the world s fair
at St. Louis that Georgia has taken
the grand prize for the best collec
tive exhibit of bar and cornfield
peas and has also secured the gold
medal for the best cotton exhibit.
Considering that our state had on
ly $30,000 available for its exhibit
and that other stares had up to
teu times this amount decides their
vast possibilities in 2- agricultural
line. This achievement is a good
triumph for Georgia. lowa is con
sidered to be the king corn state of
the union, her yield per acre being
from seventy-five to one huudred
bushels. Texas, Kansas, Nebraska
and other western states also pro
duce enormous quinuUes of corn
and bay, but it is a well known
fact the quality of out corn is great
ly superior to that of the western
states, though under present con
ditions its quantity per acre is
vastly less. Still it has been de
monstrated time and again that
the old red hill* of Georgia tan,
with proper management, emulate
the western states as to the yield
per acre of this cereal! Our farmers
by planting peas with their corn
greatly increase the value of their
crops. It is greatly to Georgia’s
credit that she should have sur
passed Kentucky, Kansas and Ne
braska, in hay.
That Georgia shonld surpass
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas in
cotton is as surprising as that it
should win over the western states
in corn and hay. There is life in
the old land yet.- —Marietta Jour
nal.
Thanksgiving—A Suggestion.
St. Peter one day sent two an
gels from heaven, each with a has
ket, to bring back the prayers aud
thanksgivings of those on earth.
The angels of thanksgiving started
with a large hamper, the collector
of petitions with a small basket;
but when they returned each was
in trouble. The petitions overflowed
the basket, and filled a sack as
well; while the angel of thanks
giving only had three in his ham
per. So we are ever ready to pray
for the things we want, but, hav
ing received them, too often forget
the giver.
The charge can be made against
most of us that we are to unthank
ful. Yet if there ever was a time
when the people of Georgia, and
especially of the county of Bartow,
should be thankful to Almighty
God it is the year of grace 1904.
The memory of the oldest citizens
cannot recall a more prosperous
year. Very nearly every seed has
made its yield. Prosperity is within
our gates. The giver of all good
has smiled upon us. Should we
not pause a moment and give
thanks?
Next Thursday, as all are aware
is the day set apart by the chief
executive of the nation as Thanks
giving day. And a proclamation
comes to us from the governor of
our own state, calling upon us to
turn aside and render thanks. It is
mete that we should. The writer
ventures to suggest to the business
men of Cartersville that they close
their places of business upon next
Thursday and in the house of God
or by their fireside express their
thankfulness for a year of mercies
and unnumbered blessings. Why
not all get together and make it a
concerted movement? _ '
Fellow citizens! let us make
Thanksgiving day a day of devout
jubilation, and send heavenward a
glorious chorus of hallelujahs and
harping symphonies! ’’Let every
thing that .breathes praise *the
Lord.”
“The Illinois house is stroungly
republican,” says a news dispatch.

I will answer, tell you gladly, listen!
while I whisper softly, this is woman's

These are Federation women,

This their milestone of progression,
They have come from every hamlet,
From the city and the village,
Cony to let the pale face know it,
They are learned, and they can show
it;
Show it in their finished essays,
In discussion bright and witty,
In their science and their fine arts,
In their by laws and their year books,
In their libraries and their rest
rooms,
In their social and their house life,
Travele 1 far to let men know it,
They can he both learned and loving,
Loving wife and loving sweetheart,
Loving mother and loving sister.
This is what the Federation
Meanetli to the pale face master,
Still the sunlight of his mansion,
Of his cottage and his cabin,
Still the Federation women,
Go you eastward, go you westward,
Go you northward, go you southward,
You cannot escape this Woman,
For the Federation movement, •
Gathers members and momentum,
As the years are gliding onward.
Blessings on these peerless women

May Akin to the secretaryship of the
state Federation of women’s clubs.

tion in Augusta where Miss Akin
went to represent the Cartersville
music club and that this honor was
rightly placed is well Known to her
many friends and admirers. Miss
Akin is an intellectnal young woman
and a most capable club woman.
The song service at the Presbyte
rian church last Sunday night was
thoroughly enjoyed by every one
present and the wish was expressed
that this service might he hut the
beginning of aseries. For the amount
of musical talent in the different
churches of our city, the muqic pre
pared for our religious services is
deplorably little.

Mrs. J. W. Jones from a trip to St.
Louis-

Society of the Presbyterian ci.urrh.
A goodly sum was realized and a
pleasant evening spent.

This is the season when we may
take off a tor hats to the chryi
acthemums girl! She has, arrived
with rosy eheeks and emetic step trr
qaeen if over the social world fora
month or two. She is not altogether
avelflah young creature; she is queen
supreme while she is queen but sle
soon abdicates gracefully for tie
American Beauty. We like the chrjß
anthemums girl; she is so jolly, fo
fall of health and mirth, she cn
chase the rabbit across the fields In
a crisp November day with the sane
exuberance as she can scamper acr<ss
the ball room for her cotillion furer.
The chrysanthemum girl is no li>t
house plant; she is a bundle of flanrel
and fur, ever ready-for a tramp kero s
the autumn hills.
Whence does she come? The chrys
anthemums girl is of lafe’ origin; a
decade, gone she was scarce known.
She came aloug wite the love of out
door sport.
The demure little button which
had bloomed patiently in grand
mother's garden for years neglected,
was found by this vigorous out door
girl. She took the astonished button
to her heart by pinning it on her
jacket lapel and putting it into her
window pot. The florist, passing
and on the alert for something new
in his profession, borrowed the idea
from the chrysanthemum girl.
He coaxed the button, he grafted,
hxperim eted - Nay, he did more,
he ' named his beauties after the
fashionable women and the beauties
‘of his town.
Mrs. George Childs was the first
honored. Thus the chrysanthe
mum girl’s pet flowers expanded mul;
tiplied and took cn fresh beauty,
until now the chrysanthemum is
queen of the floral world from Oc
tober untill January. The buttons
are now maumoth halls with flukes
of every tint, form and twist.
So, by evolution from a neglected
garden weed to the favorite of the
high and the mighty, the chrys
anthemum queen came.
She is sovereign of every realm but
most powerful in Japan. There are
many gardens in Cartersville abloom
now with the rich warm tints, red and
white, pink and yellow.
Yes, just now it is truly hats off to
the chrysanthemum girl. Each year
she wears a bigger flower and there
is a deeper glow to her cheek.
She is not a sentimental girl for
she does not care for perfume.
She seeks not the delicate, soft
tints but likes flowing colors and
adores contrasts.
She enjoys the flower with circum
ference as big as a dinner plate and
with petals that curl.
- The chrysanthemum with foot
ball hair is the most to her liking.
The girt who wetors a chrysanthem
um \n her hair now tucks it under
dhe ear where it sets off her whole
he*m And the girl who dresses
up ht r avening gown with them is
the one who uses them for shoulder
ornaments and who carries them also
tacked under her wing.
On the foot hall fields the chrys
anthemums is in its glory, for here
are shown the college colors. Each
year the number of colors is greater
while the growers say that ere many
seasons wane the chtysanth'.m ms
shall have its own distinct perfume
and they hope to bring into the floral
world a genuinely blue blossom and
so the chrysanthemum girl comes
hack with the first breath of every
autumn and finds this flower awaiting
her. Right happy is she to greet it.
l! supplies her a something which no
other flower gives, for it is of a com
panionable order, and in its broad,
< cheerful face she sees her own bon
camaraderie reflectejl.
