Bell's correspondence with reference to the future prosperity of the South. The following gentlemen have been ap pointed to represent the seventh Con gressional district in the Interstate Far mers’ Association, to meet at Raleigh, X. C., August 21st: John F. Waddell, Cedartown; (’apt. Pierce Horn, Dalton; J. I). (Jaillard, Rome; G. W. Waring, Ce ment; Col. T. J. Lyon, Cartersville. Let every good housewife prepare a basket and attend the 18th Ga. Veteran’s reunion at the tabernacle to-morrow. Let everybody see to it that the old sol diers are made to feel at home in our goodly city. We hope all the Union sol diers in the county will also turn out. The “old Confeds” will give them a royaj welcome. 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 day under most auspicious circumstances, and the outlook for the tall session is promising, indeed. The principals in form us that arrangements are on foot for having stenography and type writ ing taught by experienced teachers. They are determined to keep this splen did institution fully abreast with the times. 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.

Prof. Ronald Johnston, principal of the public school at Cedartown, with his family is paying Cartersvifle a visit. Prof. Johnson taught here for years and many of his pupils are now known among the most influential and useful citizens of the place. These and many other friends will appreciate the oppor tunity of again grasping his hand. Mr. AY. P. Laramore, whom we claim as one of Cartersville’s boys, was in our city and called to see the Courant -A me rican Monday. Mr. Laramore has been con nected with the Coosa Coal and Coke Company a number of years and his ef forts for success have availed phenome nally. He has now started with anew company some iron mining operations near Rockmart. Jack Majors, of the Rockmart Slate, came down to Bartow’s metropolis the early part of the week to find out what was going on in this lively part of the world. The atmosphere was so rushing that he concluded to rush a Cleveland stove-pipe and carried one home with him. In Rock mart’s coming conspicn. ous boom we hope Jack and his beaver and his Slate may all “get there.” Air. D. B. Freeman is getting ready to remove his family to Cartersville. Friends will be sorry to part with him and his ex cellent. wife, and they will be sadly missed in Cedartown society. Mr. John Barr will occupy the beautiful residence on College street which they are vacating. Air. and Mrs. Freeman have spent much money and pains in making it one of the most charming homes in town.—Cedar town Standard. Rev. Geo. S. Tumlin, of Marietta preached at the morning service. Though comparatively young in the ministry, he is justly regarded the most prominent Baptist minister in his association, and one of the leading men in his church in the State. He is a clear and forcible speaker, evidently a close student, and destined to rank among the foremost ministers of the time. Dr. Hawthorne’s congregation was delighted with his ser mon yesterday. Christ and the woman af Samaria, was the subject of his ser mon.—Constitution. Glad to hear’so fa vorable a report from an old Bartow boy. They always “get there.” G. M. MONTGOMERY. J. G. M.
