COUNTY. I OKI). As hard a rain as we have had this season fell here last Thursday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers lost two of their children last week with scarlet fever. It was a sad affair. While the father was attending the burial of the first one news reached him of the second’s death. Chills and fever is raging here. Prof. J. H. Jolly attended the county school commissioners’ meeting last week in Cartersville. Eugene Dodd, of Atlanta, is vis iting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Dodd. The beef man of our vicinity has nearly reached his city cousin in price per pound, and we guess the next he brings around the will hit on to it snor nuf. Mrs. Bessie Dunwoody, of An* iston, Ala., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Henderson, of Ligon. Mrs. Zila Etheridge and chil dren, of Lyerly, are visiting her mother, Mrs. Mary Harling near Oak Grove. The people of this and adjoining sections divided up last Sunday. A party attended the Primitive Baptist association held near Mispah Methodist church, in Floyd, and the other portion at tended the tabernacle meeting in Cartersville. Mrs. Emma Madden, of Fair view, is visiting relatives in the neighborhood of Kingston. Some of our farmers will in all probability the incoming week place some new cotton on the mar ket. Mosquitoes are still sending their bills into us. We are sorry indeed to learn of the death of our president. It’s a sad affair and we hope God in His mercy will heal the bereaved hearts of all to their good and His glory. AV EST AI) A I RSY I LLE. Cotton picking is the order of the day in our burg just now.

The people are all very busy gathering in the crops that have matured. Fodder is not all pulled yet and but very little cotton pick ed. The community is very much stirred up over the untimely death of President McKinley. It is an outrage to a civilized nation. A great many went from this place to Sam Jones meeting. The crowd was immense and the services grand, is the way it was reported by those who at tended. We trust that good anc lasting impressions were made on each and every one who attended. The fourth quarterly meeting was held at this place two weeks ago. Brother B. P. Allen preachec several fine and instructive ser mons, and every one who listenec to him felt they were much bene fitted by his coming. We hope to hear him again soon. We were sorry to see Mrs. John R. Gibbons leave last Sunday, anc hope she will make her visit in Dalton short, and we will have her back with us again. Mrs. E. B. Dorsett left for her home in Anniston, Ala., a few days ago. We miss her very much indeed. The News and Courant is very much better since the change. We wish the paper great success. Peary’s Latest Achievements- Mr. Peary’s sledge journey in the spring ®f last year resulted in another most ecnspicuous addition to our knowledge of Arctic geog raphy. Greenland is the largest island in the world. With the neighboring islands that geog raphically pertain to it,this Green land land mass comprises proba bly nearly half of the total area of ,1. to Air.ic .If . it! uto fix the limits of this enormois ter* ! utcry, and this is the work that j Peary has done. He has surveyed the northern edge of the Greenland j archipelago, and it may now be j mapped with approximate accuracy The coasts of Greenland, extend ing for some thousands of miles, { have now been outlined except the I comparatively short stretch be | tween Independence Bay, discov ered by Peary nine years ago, and Cape Bismarck, on the east coast. The enormous task of determining the shape and extent of Greenland, in progress since the Norsemen discovered the island nearly one thousand years ago, is completed. Peary’s contributions to this work have included the survey of a part of the unknown coast of Melville Bay on the west coast,the determination ol the extreme north west coast and of the entire north and northeast coasts as far south as Independence Bay, and the rec tification of earlier surveys, mak ing important changes in our map ping of the long, narrow channel leading through Smith Sound to the part of the Arctic Ocean wash ing the northern shores of Green land. In addition to his coast work,.he has traveled 24000 miles on the inland ice cap, defining its northern termination, and has twice crossed Grinnell Land, ex tending further south the mapping of its western shores. Two ex plorers have attained a higher lat itude in the landless eastern part of the Arctic Ocean; but whether or not Peary succeeds next year in equaling or surpassing the ap proach to the pole made in the Eastern Hemisphere, he will al ways be known as the pioneer who who has made far larger additions to our knowledge of the extreme northern lands and of the most northern inhabitants of the world than any other explorer. Married- Again the wedding bells ring for one of Bartow’s daughters. On last Thursday as the mist hovered about the mountain sides around old LaFayette, and the clouds gathered and thickened and shut in the glorious sunlight, that ittle valley and town was over hung by a threatening gloom that darkened the heavens and made leavy the ethereal realm. But the smoky canopy was not dense en ough to overshadow the two souls that on that morning beat in uni son, the hands that on that morn ing clasped in confidence as the minister said, “I pronounce you man and wife.” As Father Time tipped the cir cle at 9:30 a. m., the little group of riends and relatives gathered at the home of Mr. S. Venable to wit ness the marriage of Miss Mary L. Venable and Mr. William Judson Shattuck, of LaFayette, Rev. S. P. Wiggins, pastor of the Methodist church officiating. The minister was seated in the center of the darkened parlor, where the guests had formed a cir cle about the room and were wait ing to see the happy pair made one. Miss Lillian Venable and Col. J. P. Shattuck first entered, then sep arated and parsed on either side, as they entered Bro. Wiggin’s rose, stepped back and leaned on his chair. Next came the happy cou ple marching to strains that only God and the angels can play, and paused in front of the minister.and after a beautiful and impressive ceremony they received congrat ulations and best wishes, after which they repaired to the home of the groom’s father at Bronco, where they partook of a beounti ful and elegant dinner. The bride wore a lovely suit of grey Venetian cloth and black pic ture hat and looked beautiful as she leaned on the arm of him who is now her protector and keeper ‘‘in sickness or in health.” Miss Venable is one of Bartow’s daughters, and is a fair represent ative of her county. She is a wo man with many womanly qualities and unusual nobility of character, and will ever be true to the man she loves. Mr. Shattuck is bookkeeper for the firm of Warthen & Sparks, is a noble young man with fine busi ness qualities and is worthy of the jewel he has won. They were the recipients of many handsome presents. May God’s richest blessings ever be theirs.

Writ# f or our free book, Before B*by it Born.” Our Patriotic Governor. Mr. J. H. Vivion has received the following letter from Governor Candler, which breathes the true spirit of loyalty and patriotism: September 19, 1901. J. H. Vivion, Esq., Cartersville, Ga. —My Dear Sir:—l thank you for yours of the 7th inst. I felt greatly shocked at the attempted assassination of the president, and when called upon by a reporter for an expression of opinion, I gave him the little interview to which you refer. It came from my heart. The assassination of any ruler is a great calamity, the assassination of any president of this republic is a blow at human liberty and Am erican institutions, but the assassi nation of such a man as President McKinley was not only a great calamity and a blow at American institutions and human liberty throughout the world, but it was a crime so heinous that words can not describe it. It is gratifying to me to know that good men and wo men throughout Georgia and the country are in full sympathy with me in my horror of this dastardly crime. Very truly yours, A. D. Candlkr. Asleep in Jesus- Lena Nell, only child of Melvin and Pearl Jones, was born near Cartersville, Ga., November Bth, 1899, and died September 13th, 1901. In innocence she came into the material world, and, having en twined herself as a sweet and pre cious object around the hearts of devoted parents and loving rela tives, in innocence, she likewise took her flight to realms of celes tial bliss. The loving and tender devotion of those most dear were helpless to save our precious darling or retard for one moment the appointed hour. She is not dead but gone on before to join the triumphant host and sing the songs of heavenly strains of sweetest music, holding the gate ajar for papa and mama Grandmother. A Dog Fall. Judge Fite heard 14th Saturday, the injunction case between the Cartersyille Telephone Company and the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Cos. A good deal of legal sparring back and forth occurred between Messrs. Akin & Akin for the Cartersville Company and Mr. John T. Norris for the Southern Bell. The judge did not decide the main questions, namely the validity of the franchise grant ed to the Southern Bell, and ex pressed no opinion on that ques tion. It seems that no process was attached to the copy served on defendant and for this reason Judge Fite held that the injunction could not be granted in the present state of the pleadings. The fight there fore resulted in a dog-fall, and the main contention between the par ties is still to be fought over. A Sustaining I>iet, These are the enervating days, when, as somebody has said, men drop by ibe sunstroke as If the Day of Fire had dawned. They are fraught with dan ger to people whose systems are poorly sustained; and this leads us to say, in the interest of the less robust of our readers, that the full eflect of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the propriety ot calling this medicine some thing besides a biac'd purifier and tonic, —say, a sustaining diet. It makes it much easier to bear the beat, assures refreshing sleep, and will, without anv doubt, avert, much sickness at this time of year. CITIZENS !#EFf And G. V- VoSoip to Tnoir row fit i y Qoith. A meeting of citizens of Cai ters ville and Bartow county was held at the court house Saturday to ex press publicly the common sorrow felt at the death of the president of the United States. Col. J. G. M. Montgomery was made chairman and Col. Paul l 4 ' Akin secretary. A committee consisting of Maj. A. M. Foute, Judge John W. Akin, Col. John H. Wikle and Mr. W. L. Goodwin are appointed to draft resolution, which were adopted and were as follows: Whereas, We have heard with profound sadness, of the death the president of this great country, the Jesuit of an assassin’s bullet. And, whereas, by reason of his kindness, conservatism, wisdom, and justice, he has endeared him self to the whole people, north and south. Therefore, Resolved, That we condemn, with strongest emphasis, the das tardly crime of his murderer and the infamous teachings which in spired it. 2. That in the death of William McKinley, president of tlie United States, the country has lost a good man, an upright citizen, a Christian gentleman and an honest, beloved chief executive. 3. That the tenderest love and sympathy of this people are ex tended Mrs. McKinley and her family in this hour of their deep affliction. Death of Little Agnes Lowry- Little Agnes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Lowry, was born November 21st, 1900, and died September 15th, 1901. How sad ’twould be this dreary earth to roam Without the memory of some child’s pure love, No little beckoning hand to guide ns home To waiting ones above. A once bright and happy home is now in sad and bitter tears, for a precious one from it has gone, a sweet little girl of ten months — gone from her father who held h- r so dear, and from a mother’s kind and loving care. The little sister too, how she will miss her, and wish for little Aggie so often each day. But sweet little Agnes has gone to heaven To dwell with the angels bright and fair, Gone, gone a little while, but not for ever, For ere long we’ll meet her there. Tog'v- lit le Agi-es up it is so hard, but oh! God! I pray thee spare tha dear ones left to cheer and brighten their home, and lead them safe to the land of the blest, where no pain, no sorrow, no part ing eyer come. Weep not dear ones, for my little darling rests “Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His loving breast.” Aunt Fannie. Rev- Alex W- Bealer at Grantville. Grantville, Ga., Sept. 17. —Rev. Alex W. Bealer, of Cartersville, preached at the Baptist church here Sunday, both at the morning aid evening hours. His sermons were both able and eloquent, and dem onstrated the fact that Mr. Bealer is a man of profound thought, and a power in the pulpit. His theme for the morning hour was the “Magnetism of Christ,” and he had the undivided attention of his large and intelligent audi ence for one hour or more. Mr. Bealer is quite popular her®, both as a man and minister, and his many admirers always extend to him a hearty and enthusiastic greeting when he visits our town. A Ministers’ Good Work. “I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamber lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured,” says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kansas. “My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea rem edy and he said, ‘No.’ I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty min ites if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured. I think it the best medicine I have ever tried. Forsale by Hall and Greene. Henry Braydon, Harris, N. C., says: “I took medicine 20 years for asthma but one bottle of One Minute Cough Cure did me more good than anything else during that time. Best Cough Cure.” C..—- - - ■.. s Hr I —iff! tl i 1 film * | AVegetablePreparationforAs- Jg similating HieF6odandßegula- |] ting the 5 tmnaeits and Bowels of il uacc; r&jar irvr'xsar- g*----*- Promotes Digestion.CteerPuL- £ ness and Rest.
