Hereafter when I hear people
peaking of the paupers’ home as
[he poor house,” I will know it is
ightly called. Indeed it is poor
a more ways than one. . The poor
reatures who are inmates of this
oor place are poor in health, poor
, body and mind, poor in spirits,
wr of bedding and clothing, or
nything else that goes to make
pthe comforts of life.
One who has made a visit to the
lace can readily see why the sick,
fflicted and destitute of the county
3 struggle and rebel against being
arried to the “poor house.” It is
ie last resort with stricken and
elpless humanity when they con
inl to go to this place. In proper
:rms it is simply a place of exis
:nce and not a home.
And why is all this true of the
(auper home of Bartow county,
hich prides herself on being one
[ the richest counties in this em
njre state of the south ? Some
jffing is radically wrong and the
Bors should be corrected by the
Boper authorities. and if they will

Billed to them, then some other
Beans should be found by which
Be condition of these helpless peo-
Be, would be improved.
I The luxuries perhaps they do
lot miss, as they know little or
Bothing of them, but warm cloth-
I. good bedding, nutritious food
Md cleanliness are essentials to
Be comfort and well being of hu-
Banity in any class of life; so why
Bou’.d these be denied the poor
Bfortunates of our county ? Some
Ble-bodied person should be em-
Boyed to scald and scour their
Boms, and wash their clothing as
Bften as it becomes necessary to
Beep them in good order. A coat

ive a much more inviting and

And the inmates certainly ought

KINGSTON,
After the heavy rain for a day
and night it feels this p. m.. that
we are on the verge of hog killing,
and we can all have spare bones
and back ribs intersperced with
cracklin or shorten corn cake,
souce, chitlens etc,, to sa nothing
of sweet potatoes and possum.
And that reminds me our city
fathers have granted a truss on
our city market and propose to as
sess our butchers with a fifty dollar
licence and that lboks like if we do
not possess a fat pig or stall fed
chickens, our tables will be rather
thin on the meat line.
Now laying all jokes aside we
were all highly entertained by at
tending the Methodist church Sun
day and heard two fine sermons by
the pastor, Rev. C. A. Jamison,
who has been returned by confer
ence with us.
I perhaps could say a little more
but the train is due in a few min
utes and I must close with good
wishes for the success of the Cou
rant American and all its friends
provided they work for the down
fall of “King Alcohol” in old Bar
tow and the state a£ large.

SUPERB CONCERT.
St. Cecilians of Shorter College De-
I' ETht Cartersville Audience.
One of tlie most delightful mus
ical treats the people of Carters
ville have had an opportunity of
enjoying in many a day was the
concert given bv the St. Cecilians
of Shorter College, of Rome, at the
opera house last Friday night.
I lie St. Cecilians are attendants
at Shorter College and are music
pupils of Mrs. Simmons.- They
kindly came over to Cartersville
at the instance of the Cherokee
Club and gave the proceeds of the
concert above their bare expenses
to th*? library, and they were com
plimented with a splendid audience.
Those who were present feel better
for having heard these bright and
talented young artists.
Miss Anne Worrill has a sweet,
rich well trained voice and her
singing sent a glow of ecstacy over
all who heard her. Her singing
has received deserved high com
pliments wherever she nas been
heard and she bids fair to rank
with the most accomplished songs
ters. Her “Cavatina Non Fu
Sogno” was a severe test for com
pass, but her rendition was without
flaw.
Mr. Will McWilliams, the young
gentleman attache, proved an ap
plause winner and his singing has
been complimented on all sides.
The piano playing of Miss Fret- 1
well was fine. Her strength of
technique, lightness of touch and
heartinessof expression were really
wonderful.
In the “Solos in Unison” t
the voice-training received by each i
was favorably emphasized, not the l
least jar in melody being notice- !
able.
Altogether, the visit of this
cheery little company of mists
was an event greatly enjoyed in
Cartersville. The members were
Misses Worrill, Brett, Fretwell,
Patterson, Treadwell, Comer. Stall
ings, Culpepper, Wagner, Mr. Mc-
Williams.
