We call attention to the advertisement
of Messrs. Geo. M. Montgomery & Cos.
the new real estate firm. They are men
of the best standing, and having been
residents of Cartersville so long, are well
posted as to property in and around the
city. They are live, energetic men, and
all business entrusted to them will be in
good hands.
Judge J. R. Wikle, who successfully
grows a variety of small fruits, left at
this office Monday a bountiful supply of
the finest grapes we have seen. They
were large and luscious and show what
our lands will produce in that line by a
little judicious culture. The judge is an
old newspaper man and has an idea
what suits an editor's tooth. Thanks.
West End Institute opened last Mon

The Tribune extends congratulations
and best wishes to Messrs. Christian and
Freeman, the new proprietors and edi
tors of that sterling and valuable news
paper, the Cartersville Courant-Ameri
can. They are worthy successors to the
retiring gentlemen, Messrs. Wikle and
Willingham, than whom there are no
better newspaper men in clear old Geor
gia.—Tribune of Rome.
“You like to see interesting relics,
don't .vou?” said friend John H. Wikle,
at the court house, yesterday. Of course
we do, so he showed ns an old hickory
stick with a coon's head cut on it. It
belonged to Ah*. H. C. Ramsaur, and was
brought by his father from North Caro
lina, during the old Harrison coon skin
campaign, some forty years ago. It
ought to be sent to Hon. Benj. Harrison.
A gentleman last week sent a job of
printing to Atlanta. He was horrified
when he found he could have saved fifty
per cent, and had better work done at
the Courant-American office. AYe can
duplicate the prices of any city in Amer
ica. There is no excuse for sending any
money away from home for work in this
line, and the man who does it will lose
by the operation in more ways than
one.
Rev. Elam Christian, formerly of Tal
lapoosa Journal, and Maj. Freeman, oj*
Cedartown Advertiser, have bought the
Cartersville Cotjrant-American and
taken charge of the same. They are
both good newspaper men and the high
standing to which Messrs. Willingham Ac
Wikle had brought the Courant-Ameri
can will doubtless be fully sustained.
We hope they may succeed grandly.—
Canton Advance.
A good one is given us from one who
overheard two gentlemen discussing the
farmers’ alliance and its effects in differ"
ent ways. They were a merchant and
lawyer. The former said to the latter:
“If this new movement accomplishes
what is intended, the merchants will be
killed and the lawyers put to work.”
“Then,” said the.former, “I will have the
advantage of you. for I am swamped if I
hadn't rather die than go to work.”
All hands and the devil return thanks
to our young friend, Willis Benham, the
seventeen year-old son of Dr. W. I. Ben
lmm, for the finest watermelon we have
sampled this year. It weighed within a
fraction of fifty pounds, and is a fair
sample of his melon crop. He also has
a splendid crop of corn and cotton, and
bids fair to be one of Bartow's best far
mers. The country would be better off
if more boys were following Willis’ good
example.
Our friends, Messrs. Elam Christian
and 1). B. Freeman, since their purchase
of the Cartersville Courant-American,
are showing what two experienced and
capable journalists can do in giving the
people a splendid, live and able paper.
It is well patronized and they have one
of the best and richest counties in the
State in which to work. The paper will
rank with the best in the State, and they
have our best wishes for success.—
Alarietta Journal.
The gas company propose to speud at
least ten thousand dollars in improve
ments on the twent.v-five acres given
them within three years. This twenty
five acres will probably be located in the
southern part of the city, as land owners
in that section propose to donate the
land. It will be systematically platted,
streets, avenues and parks laid out and
beautified, and will doubtless soon fur
nish homes for a stirring, shifty colony
of Massachusetts people.
AYe are to have the waterworks also.
The last issue of the Courant-Ameri
cax is a daisy. It is one of the prettiest
weeklies printed in Georgia.—Cedartown
Standard.
Some copfous showers in the last week
have buoyed the growing crops again
and brightened the already bright pros
pects.
The pastor of the Methodist- church
will be absent next Sunday and the Sun
day following. Rev. John T. Norris is in
charge until he comes back, and he and
other of our Cartersville preachers will
supply the pulpit.
Air. J. R. Knight, a live gentleman of
Pittsburgh. Iras bought the stock of
goods of Air. Nelson Gilreath on west
Main street, and removed his family here,
and will locate as a permanent citizen.
Mr. Knight a while ago made up his
mind to come South, and hearing of Car
tersville, wisely selected this point as his
future abode.
Rev. H. J. Adams, pastor of the Aleth
odist church, has been tendered a short
vacation by his charge, and after at
tending the District Conference, will prob
ably visit Northeast Georgia on business
connected with the Alission Board, of
which he is secretary. The regular ser
vices of the church will be held by others
during his absence.
( artersville, the center of the mining
region of Georgia is beginning with con
siderable justice to herself to assume the
position of a health and pleasure resort.
The people, in addition to showing you
pretty scenery and giving you good diet,
can put you on track of more invest
ments which will be to your profit than
are to be found in any other little city in
Georgia.—Kennesaw Gazette.
Messrs. Alorrill Ac Garrison deserve the
liberal patronage of our people. They
have, at considerable expense, fitted up a
fresh meat market on Main street that !
is a credit to the city, and are making it
a point to furnish their patrons with the I
very best of everything in their line.
Their huge refrigerator enables them to j
keep their meats in fine order for any j
length of time. Their establishment is
as neat as anew pin, and you cannot
find more clever and obliging gentlemen
to deal with.
The Episcopal church in this place will
be exceedingly lucky if they succeed in
securing the services of the Rev. Samuel
Hall as rector. Air. Hall has been rector
of a large and flourishing parish in Alor
ristown, New Jersey, for many years and
more recently in charge of a parish in
Atchison. Kansas. His physicians ad
vised him to go AYest on account of some
affection of the eye, but upon trying the
western country found that the alkali
dust acted as an irritant and was then
advised to locate somewhere in the Pied
mont region. He has held services at
Ascension church three or four times and
on last Sunday administered the Holy
Communion. His sermons are models
of elegant diction and beautiful rhetoric,
his figures of speech being in all cases
apt and well chosen and show his won
derful familiarity.

Jack Majors, of the Rockmart Slate,
