Angel sleeves on a fur cloak seem inappropriate. The children are now counting the days and nights. Air. A. O. Granger arrived from Philadelphia yesterday. It can’t be said why they do, but the girls still chew —gum. Mr. Bob Henderson, of Atlanta, was in town last Saturday. Mr. J. A. Trawick after a severe sped of sickness, is up again. Major It. T. Pouche, ot Rome, was in the city last Tuesday. Eye glasses for dolls are among the new things in their outfits. Last year’s broken resolutions are being mended for future use. The season consecrated to even ing recreation and gayety seems now at full tide. Rev. Wm. IT. Cooper will preach Ids fourth anniversary sermon next Sunday morning. All the Sunday schools and socie ties are preparing entertainments for Christinas week. Cartersville was rather surfeited with music of the itinerant organ grinder kind last Monday. Airs. Wesley Roberts and children are on a visit to the parents of the former at Sweetwater, Tenn. Major C. H. Smith has returned from his trip to Kentucky and is delighted with what he saw. Some of the iron for the East and AVest railroad bridges passed through Cartersville Tuesday. Alartin Doyal, whose arm was caught in the gin one day last week, is improving very rapidly. A good organ for sale cheap. Ap ply to Miss Ida E. Johnson, residence .corner Church and Erwin streets.

Miss Lessie Durham, after spend ing some time in the city, has re turned to her home in Greensboro, Georgia. Miss Fannie Howard, after spend ing several months at the home of Mr. R. L. Griffin, at Ligon, return ed to the city Friday. “Does she love him?” “Indeed, she does. Why she never made the least effort to find out how much the engagement ring cost.” Mrs. W. A. Bradley left Tuesday morning for Florida to visit her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Espey. Her many friends wish for her a pleas ant visit. The entertainment of the Chil dren’s Society will be re peated Saturday afternoon, the per formance to be given at the opera hause. Admission 10 cents. Mr. Woodson Watters, an old Bartow county boy, who is now re siding at Hot Springs, Ark., lias been meeting with his friends in this county for the past week. John Brown’s smoke house, on tiie Rowland place, was broken open a few nights ago and a quan tity of meat taken therefrom. A most careful search has failed to discover the thief. Mr. James Mclntosh lost a hat which he purchased in town the other day. It is a broad brimmed fur hat, blue black in color, with blue silk lining. Finder will oblige him by leaving it at Garwood Bros’. Miss Cora Lyon, who is attending Lucy Cobb Institute, Athens, Miss Bailie May Akin, who is at Wes leyan, and Miss Frankie Gilreath, who is in scho >1 at Savannah, are expected home to spend the holi days. It is anew idea, and has not yet caught on in this city, but as it is English it probably will. Bridal presents, instead of being displayed at the home of the bride’s mamma, will be exhibited at some public place. Maorj A. M. Foute and family leave today for Florida. While so- jourhing in the land of flowers Alajor Foute will plant out an orange grove. The Courant-Ameri can wishes him a pleasant stay in that state. Nearly every day this week Sheriff Roberts has had public sales at the court house. Horses, mules, cattle, corn and such are the prin cipal things that come under the hammer. Many good bargains art picked up at these sales. James Pickett was brought to the city last week and was tried in the city court. He had gone to a merchant of Pine Log and obtained goods under false pretenses. He was sentenced to four months on the chain gang. The cold wave will probably snip the second crop of blossoms on the trees, and will also interfere with the domestic plans of a couple of misled blue birds, which have selec ted a home and made arrangements to go to housekeeping. Air. Ellis, the new pastor of the Methodist church, will probably move his family to the city next week, when it is hoped the parson age will be ready to receive them. He will not preach next Sunday, but will occupy his pulpit the fol lowing Sabbath. Captain Thomas J. Lyon and family will move to the city about the first of January. They will hoard for a while, hut the captain intends building a home and be coming a permanent citizen of Car tersville. M. F. Word has a notice in this is sue withdrawing his proposition to give away Christmas presents. He is, however, selling goods at re markably cheap prices. His stock is complete in every respect, and no one should fail to examine it. There will be an entertainment and oyster supper at George Ifead den’s, in Cassville, for the benefit of the Cassville Baptist church, Mon day night, December 23d. All young gentlemen and young ladies are requested to attend and are prom ised a good time. Wesley Daniel, a gentleman of color, is now experiencing the way of the transgressor, and will have plenty of time to meditate over the wickedness of raising chickens off the roost after dark, without the permission -of the owner, before the time for the next terra of court arrives. Air. Frank .T. Cohen, of Atlanta, was in the city yesterday and paid the Courant-American oflk-e a pleas ant visit. Mr. Cohen is the editor of the American Press, a monthly devoted to the printing fraternity —a gem, typographically, and with much valuable information of in terest to printers and publishers. Owing to the number of other en tertainments in the city this week the ladies of the Episcopal church have postponed their dime reading until next Monday evening. It will then take place at the residence of Mr. George Gilreath. A nice pro gramme will be arranged and all who go may expect to spend a pleasant evening. There is a beautiful doll, “little Bopeep,” in the show window of Garwood Bros., and beside it sits a glass jar filled with corn. The lit tle miss who pays a dime and comes the nearest guessing the number of grains of corn in the jar will have by far the prettiest Christmas doll in the town. The proceeds are to go to the Episcopal church. Every body should take a guess. FOK SALE ! A good, gentle horse, guaranteed to work anywhere—except head downward or in the lead of a locomotive—an almost new one-horse wagon, and new very heavy harness for same. The wagon lias spring seat and a good brake, and was made by Mr. Bradley.

A Negro is Assaulted and Relieved of Twenty-Five Dollars. Last Friday about dusk, near McGinnis, on the East & West rail road, a negro was attacked and robbed of $25.00. He was beaten into insensibility and was left for dead. The attacking party was another negro. The two fell in with each other at Rockmart and traveled together from there to McGinnis, The would be assassin had seen the other draw the money and planned for its possession. When they neared the home of the victim the scoundrel, without a moment of warning, dealt a fearful blow on his head with a bludgeon and rained another and another until the man was beaten into insensibility. Then snatching the money from his pockets he made off and hasn’t been seen since. The wounded man was able to give but little infor mation about the matter, his as sailant being an entire stranger to him. The name of the negro who was assaulted we were unable to learn, but the above information was given to the reporter by sev eral parties from the neighborhood who have been in town. NOTICE.

It con sisted of sacred songs, instrumen tal music, and the building of the missionary ship. The latter was a charming story admirably illus trated. It began with the laying of the keel, and as each plank gave the vessel shape and each equip ment was placed a child gave an expression of some Christian virtue. When it was finally completed, with sails set, ready to start for the be nighted shores, representatives of heathen lands, in the persons of the young ladies, made appeals for the sending of the word of God to the souls that were perishing in these countries. The story so beautifully told carried with it a most impres sive lesson. The opera house was filled on this occasion and the entertainment was a great financial success. DON’T DELAY.
