Dr. Lindsay Johnson says he would not fear any spread of the disease it a yellow fever patient were brought to Cartersvillo. Mr. McLain, of Cobb county, was here Saturday looking into the matter of es tablishing a chair factory. Good thing —let us have it.

A canning factory could be giving em p’oy merit to quite a number now, and doing a good business. We should hate one established by next spring. Cartersville’s hotel accommodations will fall far short of meeting the demands the coming winter, that large hotel project should take shape at once. We learn that Mr Eaves is preparing to establish another brich manufactory in the northern part of the city. I here will doubtless be a large demand for them. J The City Exchange Barber Shop lias Ibeen fitted up in good style, and hasfirst- Icluss tonsorial artists. If you want a Ltisfaetory shave or hair cut, call oy, Pomp Johnson. Another candidate for tax receiver is announced this week in the person of Mr. Albert Smith, a good citizen, who is well and favorably known. He will make a good officer, if elected. The family of Mr. Kuhns arrived from Nebraska a few days ago and he has taken up his permanent abode in our growing city. Our people are ready to •welcome yet more like him. AhjL Willingham isoneof Cartersville’ s He is sending out ( ar tersville literature nearly all the time, and talks boom like a veteran. He has i ugh hopes of our city’s future. A bevy of beautiful girls invaded our stablishrnent Monday, and made a full investigation of newspaper making. God j Jess the girls, they carry sunshine vherever they go. Come again. Cartersville is interested in the notice )f [lev. AY. H. Cooper, which appears ‘1 sew here, in regard to bids for the loca ioti of the high school proposed to be “stablished within the bounds of the ,'lk verkee Baptist Association. We | hould have this school, and by prompt me! proper action, may secure it. Let is begin to move in this direction now. The “Sam Jones Mills” hav*e been thor uglily overhauled and new machinery ►ut iu from wheel-pit to root and the mill i now as well equipped to do first-class /ork, and to do it rapidly, as any cus orn mill in Georgia. I solicit your pat onage, and guarantee satisfaction, but I* ffer no ehromos, nor will I haul your rain to or from town. You must do | our own hauling.

Felton Loveless, the accommodating carrier, will take your name, and leave you the paper promptly every evening at six o’clock. Ten cents per week pays for it. Our merchants are preparing for an extra heavy trade the coining fall. They will offer some of the largest stocks ever seen in these parts, and at prices that will draw trade from a large territory. Keep yOur eye on our advertising col umns. We would say to any who might be jealous of Cartersville’s glorious chances that obtain in her general solid pros pects, that there are none of her enter prises that could be properly character ized as “merely on paper,” but her topo graphical maps. Toledo (Ohio) Bee: A letter from J. T. Bell, now of Cartersville, Ga., says that Cartersville is to have two ‘furnaces, a rolling mill, water works, and a gas plant, all contracted for in one dav, August 0. It is a second edition of the wonderful Birmingham. According to the papers, a l ] the cities of the country are wonderfully healthy now, except Jacksonville. Most of them remind us of the fellow who skinned his shins getting over a tall fence, and turn ing to the dog that chased him, said: “Bark on, durn ye, who’s afraid?” Pomp Johnson is one of our most public spirited citizens. His City Ex change Restaurant is a very popular place about meal time. His tables are well supplied, and he feeds many of our best people. His rate* are very low, too. Try him when you want a square meal. Rev. I)r. W.H. Mclntosh, the appointee of the State Baptist Association to the office of instructor of colored ministers, is on a visit to this part ot the State. He occupied the pulpit at the Baptist church in this city Sunday, and his sermon was highly appreciated by his large congre gation. R. W. Satterfield’s splendid and commo dious two-story building, on the corner of Railroad and Main streets, increases in beauty every day, as the touch of the skilled hand of A. K. Forester, the paint er, brings it nearer and nearer to com pletion. It is already an ornament to the city. The office of the Cartersville Furnace and Steel Company is located in the St. James hotel. Mr. G. W. Ware, Dr. Pratt, and Mr. Stuart T. Martin, will alternate m keeping open doors for the next few weeks. They are all live, clever gentle men, and well posted in the business in which they are engaged. Next Tuesday, 21st inst., is the day that Congressman McKinley will speak on the tariff question at Chautauqua. We have heard several sppak of going to hear him. He is the brightest of the Re publican orators, and it will be a treat to hear him, even by those who differ with him. Of course, Georgia Democrats are not afraid to listen to both sides of any question. A gay party, consisting of some fifteen couples of Cartersville’s young people in three big wagons, took a delightful straw ride out to Dr. Benham’s country home last Monday night. They were re ceived by the family on their arrival in a way that bespoke a hearty welcome, and spent a pleasant hour. Some huge and delicious melons were cut and the party had a magnificent feast. Dairymen and truck farmers will find Cartersville a mpst desirable place for their business. The rich soil, and many clear running streams for stock, with pasturage nearly all the year, offer every advantage, while our climate is suited to the making of nearly all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The markets are con venient, and the rapid growth of oui own city will soon make a splendid home market. Lands can now be bought at comparatively low prices. The increase of travel on the East & West R. R. of Alabama, has been such of late as to necessitate the putting on of another passenger coach —one coach each on the morning east bound and evening west bound trains—coaches just turned out at Cedartown and vying in attraction with any on other roads. Notwithstanding the embarrassed con dition of things they strive under the officials of the road are bound to keep up their end of the row when it comes to accommodating the traveling public. Having heard some reference made to the “jug trade in prohibition towns,” in a pleasant conversation on the streets the other day, we asked Mr. B.R. Mount castle, express agent, how it was in Car tersville. His reply was, “it will not av erage one gallon a week.” He said that this office handled j ugs that went through to other towns, but those shipped to this point were few and far between. We heard an intelligent and well posted man gay recently that there was less viola tion of the prohibition laws in Bartow than any county that he visited. The Episcopal church is being greatly improved in appearance and comfort, both inside and out. W e looked in there yesterday morning,* and were struck with the great transformation that is taking place. The ceiling and walls have been given a splendid oalf finish, and the pews are being finished to match them. The work shows fine taste and first-class skill, reflecting much credit upon our friend, A. K. Forester, who has it in hand. Our city is fortunate in having such a workman, just now, and lie should be encouraged by a liberal patronage. The farmers of Bartow county have long been noted for raising the finest melons of those of any of the North Geor gia counties. This year, however, the crop seems to have been extra abundant and specimens the finest of any hereto fore observed. The market here has been glutted, every business place, al most, having stacks of luscious, looking ones weighing from twenty-five to sixty pounds each constantly in view. Wag ons loaded have been driven around and picks of the load offered singly at 5 cents each. In lots they have brought from three to fifteen cents. Douglas Wikle, Esq., of this city, for_ merl.v one of the editors of this paper ? and one of the most popular of the “press gang,” while in the business, is a candidate for solicitor general of this cir cuit, and he has most flattering assur ances of support, from various portions of the State. Mr. Wikle is highly esteem ed liere where he was raised, and has a very extensive and favorable acquain tance over the State. He is naturally a man of good parts, and his experience in the practice well qualifies him for the office which he seeks. If elected, he would doubtless fill the office creditably and ac ceptably. Cartersville is at the head of the pro cession in many things and we dare say no place oan down it in the novelty and variety of the turnouts daily to be seen on her streets. The primitive ox cart, of which now and then one is seen, is not the least of the novelties; neither is the goat wagons of the youngsters, of which there are a score; neither are the Shet land carts which the dainty looking equines of the Rev. Sam Jones draw glee fully around, but if you haven’t seen you should see several donkey carts that fur nish a feast for the "eye in their quaint ness and comical abandon. Then, when it comes to elegant roadsters, the handy road cart and prepossessing phsetons, there are those likewise. The broom factory is gradually work ing its way to becoming an important enterprise in our midst. The industrious young gentlemen managing the enter prise are showing a spirit of push that is worthy of results equal to any hopes they may have cherished. They are turning out fifty dozen or more a week of substantially and neatly made brooms and they are getting orders equal to the full product of the enterprise. They ob tain their corn, staff's, and other mate rial from Nashville now, but will try and induce the growth of corn to supply them at home, and will add facilities for mak ing their own staffs as soon as practica ble. They should receive every aid and encouragement from business men and our citizens. There are times when one’s dignity is offended and the act becomes a, joke the very pointedness of which seemingly shuts off all avenues for resentment. In a neighbor town a few years ago a prom inent and worthy citizen was leaving the place one morning, accompanied by his wife, for his farm. Stepping into a small shop kept by a respectable German and his wife, he asked for a glass of beer. The foaming fluid was quickly set before him and he fumbled about in liis vest pocket for small change, and finding none, was obliged to inform the shopkeeper he had left his money at home. The good old German, with a nonchalance that be spoke his feelings, quietly responded : “Veil, ( urnel, tat is all er riat, I moost say alretty any more; I no lose um, I shust trink um mysellef.” Notice.

His many friends are always delighted with his visit. Our Roman friends will be well pleased with Bro. Coopers's sermons, too. A Peculiar Ending:. In the hurry of getting to press last week our remarks about Rev. Mr. Hall, of the Episcopal church, w£re brought to a rather abrupt end by an oversight of the printer. We had intended to say that he was “familiar with all the arts, literature and sciences.” This gentltman is doubtless the most learned and purely intellectual rector in the diocese. If he remains with us, his time will be divided Between this city and Cedartown. SCHEUER HROS. A 1j L GOODS— =AT COSTt= A Golden Opportunity SCHEUER BROS., * The Leaders of Low Prices.

His many friends are delighted to see him. Mr. Soule Redd, of Columbus, Ga., the live and efficient treasurer of the Pratt Steel Company, has been spending some days here, looking after the interests of the company in this city. He is enthu siastic over the prospects of our furnace, and Cartersville generally. Dr. N. A. Pratt, and Mr. Stuart T. Martin, of the Pratt Steel Cos., returned to the city Tuesday, accompanied by Mr. W. A. Pratt, a skillful engineer. They are now engaged in surveying and locat ing the furnace grounds, and side tracks, of which there will be more than a half mile. Dock Cnnvus, one of Cartersville’s most popular and deserving young men, is to leave the city, much to the regret of all who know him. He will go to Rome and take a situation with H. B. Parks & Cos., a well known extensive dry goods firm of that city. We congratulate the firm on securing his valuable services. Mr. W. W. Young, who for some time has been with J. R. Wikle & Co.’s drug house and is known as one of Carters ville’s most clever and worthy young men, left this, his old home, on Monday, for Rome, where he will Reengaged with the prominent wholesale establishment ot I). W. Curry. The best wishes of a host of friends go with him. Mr. J. A. Trawick, of Wildwood, Fla., arrived last Sunday evening and has since been at his father-in-law’s, Mr. Todd’s,uintil yesterday, when he left for Cedartown. Mr. Trawick has seen enough of Carters vill# to have become a believer in her future, and may conclude to locate here. He is a worthy, energetic young man, and would be warmly welcomed. Mr. Albert Scheuer left for New York last Saturday. He will spend some four or five weeks in the markets, laying in a mammoth stock of fall and winter goods for their popular house in this city. He is accompanied by Air. Isadore Scheuer, of Cedartown, who goes for the purpose of supplying their Cedartown store. !
