Harry Young, ol‘ Home, was in town Sunday. Charlie Wikb paid a visit to Anniston, Ala., the past week. A large iron safe lias just been placed in Receiver Ball’s office. The chewing gum “cult” is dying out among the society girls. Mr. \V. S. Crosby has just rallied from a severe little spell of s ckness. Effects in stripes for men’s clothes are losing a long-enjoyed popularity. Vandivein A Alley are having built a twenty-foot extension to their store. Mrs. N' s it Wingfield, of Chattanooga, visits relatives in the city this week. Miss Annie Morris, of Danville, Ya., is on a visit to Misses Mary and Annie Jones. Miss Lena Wofford, of “Hopedale,” Murray county, is on a visit to friends in the city. Cartersville has not had a ten-ornt circus this fall. We have lots to be thankful for. Missis Saxon, Battle and Best, of Orassdalo, were the guests of Mrs. W. H. Best last week. “ Prepare thyself to give thanks,”says the minister, “and to eit mince pie,’’ says the small boy. This is thanksgiving day and all should unite in giving praise and thanks unto the Giver of all good. The news at a barbershop on Satur day evening: “I see thut Brazil has shaved off her Imperial.” Rev. John Moon and family have been in the city this week. Mr. Moon is at tending conference at Cedartown. “ 1 have but one request,” said the proud turke v, just reconciled to his sure fate, “ Don’t stuff me with onions.” Young ladies constantly come in to see our steam press work.

Married, on the evening of the 25th inst. at the residence of the bride; by the Rev. W. 11. Cooper, Mr. Joshua Kiimett, and Mrs. E. M. Byrd. The latest wedding custom is not only to shy rice at the groom but to trickle some ol'it down his neck in spirit ol wi.d cordiality. A slight in cident occurred on the East and West railroad Tuesday afternoon, three ears being thrown off' the track near tlio Junction. Miss Emmie Norris returned home a few days ago from Marietta, where she enjoyed a short stay with her friends the M isses McClatehy. A well bred lady, who would not dare to put a dash of rouge oil her cheeks, does not hesitate to paint her ears a beautiful sd.e.l pink. The origin of the term, “best girl,” is attributed to Shelly, the yoet. There is poetry in the term, to the moonstruck youth, to say the least. The North Georgia Conference met in Cedartown yesterday. Nearly all of the delegates have passeil through Carters ville on their way to that place. Wise virgins, who keep their lamps trimmed and burning, have commenced the task of making such of their Christ mas presents as are made at home. The parade given by the hand con nected with Al. (i. Field A Co.’s operatic minstrels, is said to be one of the finest ever seen with a traveling company. As much as the Harrison administra tion has been scandalized, the last cut is the worst. Anew brand of cigarettes has been named after the president. The East and West railroad lias just received at Cedartown three lino Rhode Island bro-d gauge engines and they are ready for service as soon a* the track is widened. Pecan culture, like many other untried tilings, might lie made a profitable indus try in this section. Miss Barron, of Cass ville, last year sold lifeeen dollars worth of these nuts from One tree. The seven handsome medals awarded to the splendid ores of Bartow county at the recent Piedmont exposition, have been put in a neat frame and are on ex hibition at Wikle’s hook store.

Tin* ladles of last week’s entertain ments clssire to tliauk al of those who were so kind in helping them in their entertainments, and to especially thank Mrs. Ham Jones and Miss Kotge for so kindly lending their instruments. At 11 a. m., the hand connected with Al. Field A Co.’s operatic minstrels, under the direction of Louis Kerr, will give a free musical concert. The l|and numbers some tine soloists, and the free concert will attract a large crowd- Cartersville is now the headquarters for the counties of Bartow, Cherokee, Cobb, Paulding, Douglas and Haral son, for the collection of revenues, in stead of Atlanta as hefetofote. Deputy- Co' lector Galloway has his office here. Hev. F. M. Casey, who lived on the McDow place, about three miles from Adairsville, died last Monday morning from heart disease. He was a Primitive B iptist minister and was regarded as a good man. Joint Flemings, who live in the Seven teenth district, was assaulted by a negro ono day last week. They had a dispute over an account and terminated in the negro picking up a lightwood knot and knocking Fleming senseless. I lie meeting of the literary club has been postponed on account of Thanks giving service. The club will meet at tho h. iii > of Rev. Sam Join s Thursday night of next week, it is hoped ail members wiil he present. A nice pro gr 'llllllO will bo arranged. Some cruel bohemian of the press lias generated this baso libel oil the small boy: “Now the lad who through'tho summer Has wandered lancy free Begins to cultivate the church, v\ it'i an eye on the Christmas tree.” -Mr. and Mrs. Pleas Sliollnian have tented the St. James hotel for next vear, and the name shall be changed to the Sliellman house. They are born hotel keepers and will make the Shell man house the most attractive hotel in this section. Cartersville is to be congratu lated. There is one crowd of sports who will not brag to any considerable extent of tlie results of their hunt. It was a pariv that went out after ’possums a few niglrts ago and after walking about five miles Escovered that the dogs had deserted them, and then of course had to start on their homeward tramp. Rev. 11. J. Adams preached his fare well sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday morning. A large congre gation was in attendance. Our people will part with this good man with re gret, as all classes have learned to love him during his ministry here. The best wishes of all will follow him to liis new home. The Young People’s Society of Chris tian Endeavor will meet at the Baptist church on Friday night of this week, in stead of Thursday night as before. \Ve are authorized to say that all young men and young ladies, boys and girls who desire to grow in usefulness and conse cration to Christ are invited to join this society.

Tho major s family toca v:g thee for several weeks and the pleasure of joining them and meeting old friends and neighbors will indeed bo great. The clever gentleman’s host of friends will wish for him a happy time and safe re turn with his family. Those who did not have forethought enough to lay in their supplies of coal are now having a great deal of trouble in getting the article. The dealers are nearly all out, and oil account of the lack of freight ears and the miners being behind with tlieir orders, the future supply is uncertain. Fortunately most of our people are supplied and there is very little suffering. The price of coal here is 10 cents a bushel on the cars. HIS CHII.II GOT WELL. Swift’s Specific ( S. S. S. ) cured my little boy of scrofula, from which he had suffered a long time. I had tried physi cians and grout quantities of other med icines without aval . A few bottles of S. S. S. did the work.

Very Respectfully, E. Strickland & Bro. INSURANCE RATES. Some Kicking Over Them by Car . tersville’s Citizens. The insurance rates for Carters ville have always been considered high, but it was thought that when the waterworks were built and a fire department organised, they would be very materially lessened. They will be lessened, but not as much as it is thought they should be. The rating agent oi tiie Southeas tern Tariff Association was in town last week and the new schedule he will establish will amount to about twenty per cent, reduction. There are from $12,000 t > >' 1 ,000 annually paid out to insurance companies on Cartersville property and the twenty per cent, reduction will be a saving of from $2,400 to $3,000. It is said there will be little, if tiny reduction on residence property, while it will be great on store prop erty. ft is thought that the proposed reduction is not enough when is considered our excellent system of protection against fire. Many think, Gather than to submit to such rates that our people should carry their own risks. A company could be formed here for tills purpose and it would lie of great financial benefit to the town. It costs $750 per thousand to in sure a frame residence. The high est insurance in the business part of the town is on the frame row of buildings above Peacock’s furniture store, which are insured for $6.50. The lowest is Dr. Johnson’s corner, \. inch is insured for $1.50. The use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla purifies tfie blooil, stimulates the secretions, and imparts new life and vigor to every ftnetion of the body. For nearly half a century, it lias remained unrivaled as th* best blood medicine ever discove red. Be convinced hv a trial. ONE FACT Is worth a column of Rhetoric, said an American statesman. It is a fact, estab lished by tlie testimony of thousands of people, that Hood’s Sarsaparilla does cure aerofula, salt-rheum, and other (In cases or affections arising from impure state or low condition of the blood. It also overcomes that tired feeling, creates a good appetite, and gives strength to every part of tho system. A Municipal Ticket.

Field’s minstrel company will appear in the city next Monday evening. The Evansville, (Ind.) Journal has the following to say of the company: At. Field’s minstrels appeared last evening at tlie opera house and gave a most delightful entertainment. They are superior in everything ir their line to anything that has appeared hero tliis season, and Evansville has paid to see what is alleged to bo the host traveling combinations on the road. Tlie special ties are all first-class in the burnt cork line. Tlie female impersonator lias a fine voice, and sings without effort sweet soprano notes that caught tlie house by storm. Leonzo, the juggler, out-Japs the Japs, for his wonderful fiats of bal ancing keep one in a strain continually to “help” him in his jugglery. The whole show is first-class, in fact, and with continuous applause from tlie rise to tlie fall of the curtain.

About 2 o’clock Thursday of last week the freight train pulled by the Campbell Wallace was knocked off the track near the transfer yard. A cow was the cause of the acci dent. The engine struck the ani and dragged her about fifty yards under tlie wheels, when it was thrown from the track and six coal cars following were also piled up on both sides of the roitd. Fortu nately no one was hurt, and the es cape of the fireman and engineer may be regarded as something mi raculous. They both stayed in the engine. The fireman started to jump but was held by his brother, engineer Brice, and was thus saved from what would have been certain death. The wreck was soon cleared away and the trains were running on their regular schedule.
