It is rumored that a syndicate is con templating the erection of a $75,000 hotel in this city. Cartersville should be the leading winter and summer resort of North (ieorgia. A gentleman who bought a small piece of central property about three years ago, was last week offered even four times the amount lie paid for it; but the property is not now for sale. Mr. Geo. Geer is now pushing ahead with the buildings for the Cartersville Novell y Works and foundry, for the manufacture of a variety of small iron articles. This will be an important en terprise for our city. Already inquiries are coming from a distance in regard to C’artersville's annu al tabernacle meeting. The time should be announced as soon as practicable so that those at a distance can make their arrangements to attend. The Courant-Amhrican* is glad to see the increasing attention given to the cul tivation of clover. We would like for some of our farmers who are experi menting with clover and the grasses to give our readers the benefit ol their ex- perience. Bartow Superior Court will wind up the fourth and last week of the July term about Friday. This week so far has been devoted to the civil docket. A few crimi nal cases of minor importance, remain to be disposed of. They will probably be disposed of to-day. Thehorse hitched to Mr. IX Strickland’s delivery wagon took fright Saturday evening at the E. & W. transfer yard and ran at a vigorous gait to the city, throw ing the severai occupants out. Little Jack Cobb was slightly hurt, but the others were not injured. The loveliest drives in Georgia may be found in and around Cartersville. The river road to the Etowah Company's lands, is perfectly delightful, with its splendid shade and enchanting scenery. The truth is there may be found pleasant drives in every direction. Col. J. J. Howard has kindly given us copies of old Confederate newspapers published in Macon and Augusta in 1862 and 1864. We have been greatly inter ested in scanning their columns, and will shortly give our readers a column or so of interesting items from them. Cartersville and Bartow' county owe a debt of gratitude to the live men who compose t lie < artersville Land Company. In securing the first plant fertile turning out of pig steel by the Pratt system, they have shown consummate generalship, and broad liberality. They have been nobly backed by our people generally. We are sending out many extra copies of the Courant-Amerioan every week. Our merchants and business men should see to it that the business of the city is properly represented in our advertising columns. The life of a town can be seen better through the advertising columns of the local newspaper than otherwise. Our city council is made up of conserva tive, and .vet public spirited men, who have the interests of the city at heart. They are also men of sound judgment, and a strong desire to benefit the future as well as the present generation. They should be upheld and encouraged in their every effortfor the upbuildingof our city. Attention is called to the law card of Douglas Wikle, Esq., so well and favora bly known tfs one of the former editors of this paper. He proposes now to de vote his entire attention to the practice of Ill's chosen profession. Business en trusted to his hands will receive faithful attention, and lie is well equipped for fully protecting the interests of his clients. A preacher in charge of a certain work in this county, was m the store of one of his members last week, and saw a nice lot of playing cards displayed with the other goods. He deliberately priced and bought the whole lot, and then just as deliberately took the whole lot out into the road, and burned them before the as tonished spectators. It was a forcibly illustrative lecture on card playing, and it is to be hoped it will have a good effect* 4416 Fort Madison, low a, Democrat is going for our Sam Jones like all forty about disappointing a crowd of fifteen hundred people. The managers of some assembly grounds claimed to have had a contract with the evangelist to preach at a given time, and charged extra gate money, whereat the aforesaid editor is wroth. If Sam Jones made an appoint ment, there was some good reason for his failure to appear. Keep quiet, Air. Dem ocrat, will send your extra dime to you, just as soon as we sell our dog. We noticed at the place of one of our fruit dealers the other day a small crate of large, fresh, luscious looking grapes that would more than ordinarily attract the attention of the passer by. ,We were told that they were shipped from Judge Fain’s place at Calhoun. It is said he has one of the finest vineyards in the country. He is now shipping fourteen bushels of grapes per day to Cincinnati alone, besides quantities to other points. His success should inspire others to un dertake and push grape culture. We hear some kicking against the con tract between the city council and the Boston Gas Light Company. The mat ter should be thoroughly agreed upon and thoroughly understood, in order that there may be no trouble about it in the future. A large majority of those whom we have heard express themselves are in favor of the contract. AVe have great confidence in the wisdom and fore thought of our city fathers, and are will ing to leave the matter to them. But we want the gas plant as soon as possible. Next Sunday is the regular commun ion day at the Methodist church. A ! ove feast was held at the church last night. There is a general wish that the proba ble changes in the management of the E. & W. will not remove the clever officials of that road from our midst. They have all made many strong friends here, audit is evident that they have devoted them selves faithfully to the interests of the road. The Cartersville Cou rant-American, always one of the best papers in the State, is now in the hands of two able journalists—Mr. Elam Christian ami David B. Freeman. With such a team at the head the Coukant-Americax is bound to succeed.—Atlanta Constitution. Next Tuesday is the day appointed for the meeting of the County Democratic Ex ecutive Committee. Let the members bear it in mind, and be on hand. At this meeting the time and manner of selecting delegates to the Congressional conven tion will be decided on, and the matter of Democratic candidates for the legis lature will also be considered. The furnace grounds will be located just beyond the cemetery, between the W. ■&. A. Railroad and the old Cassvilie road. The twenty-five acres of land given by the land company to the fur nace company lies between the roads and runs out to Pettit’s creek. Nature lias prepared the grounds finely tor the pur pose. Little or no grading will be nec essary for the side tracks, or the spur track to connect with the E. & W. Rail road. There is water in abundance, handy bluffs for the reception of slag, and in fact, everything conveniently arranged. HON. J. C. CLEMENTS. Our Congressman Tells the People Whai He Has Been Doing. Fpon short notice, a goodly number of Bartow’s voters assembled at the court house last Monday morning to hear a speech from Hon. J. C. Clements, who has served this district in Congress for the past four terms, and is willing to serve another term, if the people want him to. Of course, he made a good, clever speech—characteristic of “ Jud” Clements, as lie is familiarly’ called. He started out by saying that his op ponents had never assailed a single vote or act of his in Congress—they were all agreed on the great questions at issue in the national compaign—consequently there was no controversy between them. Therß was but one point of difference — they raise the issue that he has been there long enough. The speaker dwelt pleasantly upon this point some time. He next took up the charge that he had “traded” for Gordon county, and Col. Rankin, with whom the trade was rumored to have been made, was present to deny with him that one word had ever been said between them or others authorized to speak for them on this subject. The speaker then took up that part of our national organization providing fur representatives in Congress, and showed the rights and privileges of the people, under its provisions, winding this point up with an apt illustration of the value of experience, even in the common business affairs of life. He also referred to thenumber of men in Congress who had been there for several terms, in evidence of the fact that it was by no means “peculiar’’ that the people should send him four or even five times. Taking np the tariff question, he talked intelligently and clearly upon the main points involved, and while denying the Republican charge that the Democrats were a five trade party, strongly endors ed the conservative position ol the party, as set forth in the Mills bill. The point simply is, that the war has ended, and the people should be relieved of burden some and unnecessary taxation, and the necessity for a reduction of the immense surplus which is so rapidly accumulat ing in Lucie Sam’s vaults. It was a plain, straight-forward talk and his hearers evinced their interest by the closest attention throughout the speech. He didn't use a harsh word or make an ugly insinuation, and strong friends of the other candidates could not complain of anything he said. At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Clements had a general hand-shaking— and few men have got the natural hand shaking gift in greater measure than clever Jud Clements. 18tli Ga. Regiment Reunion. Let it not be forgotten that the few remaining survivors of the above gal lant regiment will hold their seventh annual reunion in this city on the 10th inst. The tabernacle has been secured for the meeting. As the ranks grow thinner from year to year by the hand of the inevitable Reaper, let us cheer the remnant of this once strong and invincible body of noble Georgians, by giving them a royal re ception. Let everybody turn out with their baskets well filled. It is exciting and amusing to hear the old soldiers recount their various expe riences in the war. <'artersville Dynamite. By advertisement of Mr. Clarke Robin son in another column, it will be seen that he is now engaged in the manufac ture of dynamite and other explosives, at the Ladd Lime AVorks, near this city. Ihe country ’round about can be sup plied with a safe, reliable article by call ing on him or his agents, as advertised. SCHEUER BROS. A Hi L GOODSE^ =AT COST!= A Golden Opportunity!

He left here about fifteeu years ago, and this is his first visit since hedeparted. He says that Cartersville has improved wonderfully. Genial, warm-hearted Will Neel returns to Washington City to-day , to resume his work there. His visit has been a source of much pleasure to his many friends here, and their best wishes follow him.

Let’s have a county reunion—a sort of harvest-home jubilee—in the early fall. It has been a long time since we had such a meeting. 4’here have been divis ions, more or less —differences that pro duce feeling. Let us bury them for good. Good feeling—unity—now prevails. Let all hands, from eveyy part of the county, come together in a fraternal re union. Let us break bread together. An old-fashioned picnic and barbecue is the thing. Our old families could have reunions— old friends of other counties might meet them here. Visitors from a distance might be in vited, to see our county and enjoy our hospitality. But these are only crude suggestions. Think about it. Talk about it. Tell us how it strikesyou. Floyd’s Mass Meeting. Saturday witnessed a live mass meet ing at Rome. The question of prohibi tion had been brought in by the stand ing of the candidates on that question, and it is said the result was a complete victory for the prohibitionists. Col. Hidell seceded because the meeting sat down on his tariff and anti-prohibi tion resolutions. In the election for delegates to the congressional convention, Hon. J. ('. Clements' delegates received 201 votes and Hon. Jno. H. Reese's delegates 37. Collections. The Cou u ant-Am eme a n's collector will make regular rounds of the city about the first of each month. Look for him to-day, and meet him with a smile and an open pocket-book. Important Connections by the K. Jfc West. Yesterday an arrangement went into effect by which the E. & \Y. Railroad makes new and important connections. The 9:50 a. m. train from Cartersville makes close connection with the A. & C. Railroad at Duke's for Gadsden and At lanta. The transfer of four miles is made by hacks—the fare being included in Rail road ticket. The same train also makes close con nection for Anniston, Ala. This will be a great convenience to the traveling public, and will doubtless in crease the passenger traffic of the E. & W. East Cartersville Institute will resume its exercises on the 20th instant, and the indications point to a very large at tendance. The school deserves it.
