The fruit crop don't seem to have
been so very short in this vicinity, after

peaches, pears and grapes have
marketed in Cartersville.
We notice in the market a, good show
of new potatoes. From the looks of the

the crop promises to be immense.

Our city fathers should jietition the W.

The largest plate glass ever brought

A daily mail was put on the route from
Cartersville to Erwin’s last week for the
first time. The people along this route
will highly appreciate this new step that
gives them benefits over the old tri

Among the prominent visitors to our
city this week is Mr. Lyman Dana, of St.
Louis, who is already interested in our
city’s welfare, and enthusiastic over her
future outlook. He is a valuable acqui
sition to Cartersville’s list of friends.

The chair factory and new planing

After the rain last week, several wai

The Methodist Sunday School has just
received a splendid library of new reading
books, and they were in big demand by
the children last Sunday. The library
consists of 300. well selected books, suited
to the children of different, ages. Few
cities in Georgia have finer Sunday
Schools than Cartersville.

Remember the Democratic mass meet
ing at the court house on the first Tues
day in September—next Tuesday. Dele
gates will be appointed to the Congres
sional nominating convention, ai.d a
new executive committee will be selected,
and such other action will he taken as
may be best for the party’s interests.
Tiie talk about an independent candi
date for the State Senate from this dis
trict has about ceased, and it is probable
that the Democratic nominee, Col. J. W.
Harris, Jr., will have a walk over. He
will make us an able and efficient repre
sentative, and will doubtless rank among
the first men of that honorable body.
Messrs. Soule Redd and H. H. Epping,
Jr., of Columbus, Ga., and Mr. Lyman
Dana, a well known capitalist, of St.
Louis, Mo., are in the city. They are al
ready largely interested in our present
enterprises, and are organizing another,
with a cash capital of $75,000. which
within six months will cause the eyes of
many to open wide in amazement.
It- is said that anew broom sweeps
clean. The Cocrant-Amekican ought to
be cleaner than ever since being presented
by Mr. Henry Williams, foreman of the
broom factory, with one of the finest
brooms ever made in Georgia. This is
an enterprise that should receive tie
hearty support of our people, and their
splendid brooms are bound to make
their way to a wide scope of country.

he would make a faithful and successful

The Methodists held a most enjoyable
love feast last night. This is a service
peculiar to that church. It is simply a
social meeting in which the members
come together, eat bread together, as an
evidence of their brotherly love for each
other, and tell of the Lord’s dealings
with them, and has no connection with
the ordinances of their church. This ser
vice is observed on each Wednesday
night before the first Sunday, which is
their regular communion day.
r \ he announcement of G. W. Hendricks,
Esq., for ordinary appears in to-day’s
paper. Mr. Hendricks was born and
raised in this county, and is a gentleman
of good moral character and well quali
fied for the office. Four years ago he
was a candidate for ordinary and came
within about ninety votes of election,'
and his friends say lie is stronger now
than then. At any rate he will make a
l vely race, and, if elected, will make a
good ordinary.
Mr. J as. Field killed a dog, supposed
to lie mad, last Tuesday. The dog had
l>een given away, and eturned. acting in
such a way as to lead to the conclusion
that he was mad, and was speedily de
spatched. Sic semper maddogarus.
We met a prominent member of the
last legislature on the train the other
day, and he asked us if Maj. Foote would
be returned. Wetold him the Major was
a candidate, and as popular as ever.
Then he went on to say: “Foute was
one ot the best men we had in the last
House. He was always in his place,
watchful, painstaking and careful in
evev.v act, and always commanded the
attention of the body when he spoke.
Few new meinlters ever had as much in
fluence in that body. You Bartow folks
certainly ought to staid him back.”
So far, two’can didates have announced
themselves through the press as candi
dates for the legislature—Maj. A. M.
Foute, who has already filled one term
in that capacity ably and faithfully, and
Mr. John Crawford. It is also under
stood that Dr. Feltou and Mr. Dick Har
gis are candidates. We hear of no oth
ers that will likely enter the race. It
seems to be generally understood that
there will be no nominations made for
these positions by the Democratic party
—so we will have an open field, and we
trust a fair fight. So tar, there is no ex
citement over County politics.
Inquiries are pouring in from every
quarter regarding the Sam Jones taber
nacle meeting. Some want to know the
exact date of opening, others want infor
mation regarding accommodations for
visitors, etc. There are numerous par
ties who would like to tent during the
larger part or all the time the meeting
runs. It has been suggested that if
some enterprising party or parties
would secure for renting purposes, a
number of tents from the Chautauqua
meeting just closing, it would furnish
needed accommodations in a certain line
and profit those procuring them.
The Republicans.
Wade Robinson, chairman of the
county executive committee, has called
a mass meeting of the Repub
lican party, to be held at the court house
on the 22nd of September, “to-take such
action as is best to the interest of the
party in the approaching Presidential
election.”
Ouick Work.
The trestle at Suck Creek, on the E. &
W. Railroad, near Broken Arrow, was
burned last Sunday! or at least thirty
three feet of it, and some quick work was
done in replacing it, as the trains were
not delayed but. a few hours. Few rail
roads have a liver set of officers and
workers than the E. & VY.
Dr. Felton to Speak.
We are requested to announce that Dr.
W. H. Felton will speak upon the politi
cal issues of the day, at the court house
the first Tuesday in September—next
Tuesday.
In convertation with Dr. Felton we
gather that he considers the W. & A. R.
R. the most important item in the State
campaign, and take it for granted that
he will devote himself mainly to that
question. He is well posted with the
whole situation, and will doubtless make
it interesting to all who hear him.
Anil W Are to Have tlie Chair Factory.
Mr. McLain, of Acvvorth, who has been
prospecting in Cartersville for the estab
lishment of a chair factory, paid the
city another visit Monday. He was bet
ter pleased than ever, we learn, with the
inducements the place offered through
the contiguity to valuable timbers, ad
vantages as a distributing point, exten
sive local developments assured and gen
eral importance as a. business centre. He
told parties, on taking his leave, that he
would at once order the bill for the lum
ber and go right to work pushing for
ward the enterprise. Thus it is, our city
is attracting just such enterprising in
stitutions as she has long since needed to
give her the first healthy push to pros
perity.
liuportaiit Movement.
Col. J. J. Howard, of this city, left for
Pennsylvania last Tuesday to perfect ar
j rangements for buying cotton at this
! point for some of the most extensive
spinners of that State.
This arrangement does away with the
| “middle men,” and enables a buyer here
i to give better prices than could be paid
! under other circumstances.
This will inure to the benefit of the
farmers who bring their cotton to this
market. Cartersville should receive
more cotton the coming season than
ever before.
In thi connection we would remark
further that our merchants are taking
special pains and making special heavy
purchases of goods in order that they
may be able to sell goods as cheap, if
not cheaper, than any other city in
North Georgia.
Cartersville will be ready to pay the
top of the market and a shade over for
j cotton, and sell goods a little under rock
I bottom prices.
The truth is, our people do not pro
j pose to get left on any liue of progress
j and enterprise.
