Cotton is opening rapidly, and already C > fields present a scene of activity. ( ommercial men are scenting orders , lll( i making a live effort for a good fall trade. i artersville offers a fine field for a na tional hank, with large capital, and we should have it. The children’s union meeting will be I.l‘ld at the Baptist church at 4 o’clock next Sunday afternoon. Nov-is the time for our merchants to now their fall ad vertisements, if they wish to reap a trade harvest. Head the new legal advertisements. Much valuable property is to be sold on the first Tuesday in October. Col. Stansell last week sold a lot, corner of Erwin and Leake streets, to Mr. E. Conner for $ 1,500. Our friend, Bailey Barton, says they had a good campmeoting at Pine Log, and if "<as greatly enjoyed. |{ev. George Gilreath (Uncle George) will preach at the Methodist church next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mr. G. H. Aubrey has moved into his new home at the head of Wofford street. He is making a most attractive place of it. The female college building should be pushed to completion at once. It will be a considerable loss to let the winter rains cat< h it in its present condition. If you want a good cow cheap, r**ad It. A. Barton’s advertisement in another column, and call on him at Pine Log. lie will give you a real bargain. Look out for the Courant-Amehican’h collector about the first of the month, aid meet him with a smiling counte nance and an open pocketbook. Everyday we are receiving requests for sample copies of the ( ocraxt-Amkiiican trom parties at a distance, who want, to know more about our growing city. The building committee will soon let out the contract for building the taber nacle at Pine Log. The advertisement for bids will be found in another column. The sanitary committee have been pushing the citizens in the work of chain ing up and have accomplished a good deal for the sanitary cause. Let the work go ou. 1 or a pleasant, clean shave, or a satis factory hair cut, call on Pomp .Johnson, at the City Exchange barber shop. Po lite attention and the best work, is his motto. We understand that Mr. Boardman, of the Jeter & Boardman Gas and Water Association, will be here next week, to see after the location of the waterworks plant. Next Monday is the day for examina tion of applicants for scholarships in the State School of Technology. The ex amination will take place at the court house at 10 o'clock a. m. Cartersville still maintains her reputa tion for healthfulness above almost any other place that can be named. There I is Wt'ji comparatively little sickness < f any kind here this summer. The fruit crop don't seem to have been so very short in this vicinity, after .all. A considerable quantity of apples, peaches, pears and grapes have marketed in Cartersville. We notice in the market a, good show of new potatoes. From the looks of the specimens seen, the seasons have b#en fa vorable to the growth of the tuber, and the crop promises to be immense. Our sanctum is redolent with the odor of August lilies, and ever and anon our eyes feast upon the lovely snow-white flowers—thanks to our thoughtful and aesthetic friend, Col. das. B. Conyers. Col. M. R Stansell is one of our most hopeful and enthusiastic citizens.. He considers the boom on a most solid foun dation, and is building another dwelling on his splendid Erwin street, property. Rev. H. J. Adams filled his pulpit last Sunday, having returned from his short summer vacation, which be enjoyed very much, until he began to think of the cruelty ~0l fishing tor trout with live minnows. The (.’artersville Cor u a NT- A m ekica n improve* with each is.4u*\ It is running its press bjr steam power, and is doing good work in showing up the advanta ges of Cartersville and Bartow county.— Atlanta Constitution. Our city fathers should jietition the W. & A. Railroad authorities to brush up their depot at this place. If the petition is not landed, the city should have it done. The looks of this old dej>ot is a drawback to the city. The largest plate glass ever brought to Cartersville are being put into the front of R. \V. Satterfield's new building, corner of Railroad and Main streets. They are 83x123 inches. This will be the handsomest front in the city. You can get a good square meal at very light cost at Pomp Johnson's City Exchange Restaurant. Pomp says the “chewing of.the bag is the proof of the pudding,” and he wants all doubters to justify his house a “few chaws.” 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 weekly mail they have l>een getting. 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 question of issuing bonds by the city for the erection of waterworks will be voted upon next Monday, and it is to be hoped that Gainsville, like Dalton, Cartersville and other growing cities will resolve to have them. —Gainesville Engle. The chair factory and new planing mill and lumber yard will be located near the transfer yard of the East and West Railroad. It looks now like this partic ular part of the town is to soon present a pleasing panorama of manufacturing enterprise. After the rain last week, several wai ters of most lovely flowers were seen floating in the air, and at last graced the counters and tables of the stores and offices. Many thanks. Nothing sweeter than pretty girls and flowers. 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. Attorneys, litigants, administrators, guardians, and all interested in legal ad vertising of any character, will please re- ! member that the advertising fees are I payable in advance. The law fixes the I prices at a low figure, and does not re quire the printer to complete service un til advertising fees are paid. 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. Douglas Wikle, Esq., of Cartersville, formerly editor of the Cartersville Cou kant-Amemc AX, is a candidate for solici tor of Cherokee circuit. The members of the Georgia Weekly Press Association a-e all for Wikle. An able writer, a cour teous gentleman, he won the hearts of all < f us. A lawyer of ability and energy he would make a faithful and successful •prosecuting attorney.—Cnthbert Liberal. 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. The Cartersville Real Estate Company, A. M. Willingham manager, propose to do a rushing j business. Property placed into that company’s , hands may be safely claimed as sold. They pro pose to boom the interests of their customers a. 11 is their own.

Folsom, who has been edit ing the Cedartown Standard for the past few months, passed through the city Monday on his way to Atlanta, where he goes to take charge of the Common wealth, the new temperance paper. We trust the new arrangement may be mu tually beneficial to the Commonwealth and Mr. Folsom. Whom would the boys and girls of our town welcome more heartily than they would Frank Anderson? Frank is one of Cartersville’s old society boys, who left nearly three years ago, and stepped off of the E. & W. train the other day to spend a week or two with his relatives and many friends. May his stay be a most pleasant one.
