Some valuable property is to be sold by administrators on the first Tuesday in December. Next Tuesday is sale day, as well as election day. Sheriff Franklin will offer some valuable property at the court house door. Miss Eda Sands, of Orlando, Fla., but who has been with friends in Cherokee county all the summer, arrived in our booming town Monday last. The young ladies are anxious to know whether the goose club will reorganize this Xmas or not. The boys will decide soon and tell them privately it they organize. Farmers of Bartow and surrounding counties, bring your cotton to Carters ville. and you will get the top of the market, and be able to select your goods from as complete stocks as you can find in North Georgia, and buy at prices un excelled for cheapness. There are many inquiries now about Cartersville, her advantages and general prospects, and there are more people than the generality of our citizens are aware of that have their eye on the town ns a place to locate if the near future shows up solid inducements. Col. T. C. Milner, of Calhoun, visited tlie city Saturday evening. Me informs us that although the fire last week was a disastrous* blow to his town, there is pluck enough to rebuild, and substantial brick buildings will soon stand on the of the burned wooden structures. 1 artersville does not receive more than half the cotton that she ought to handle and could handle it proper means were employed to secure it. Our business men s hould look into this matter, and move promptly in the matter of “changing the drift” back to its natural channel. 1 he time for the election of mayor and aldermen draws nigh, and we hear but h'ttle said about it. It is understood bmt Capt, Wofford will not make the rue*- for mayor again, although urgently pressed by many to do so. The name of ,(J hn H. Wikle is freely spoken of in this Connection and J, 13. Conyers has been suggested. Mr. Henry Milner, of Leeds, Ala., the only brother of Mnj. Win. Milner, spent several da vs this and last week with his brother and other relatives. Mr. Milner is 71 years of age, but from his move ments you would not judge him to be over 40 or 50 years old. He is an old citizen of Bartow county, in his day known as Cass county. The new advertisement of Seheuer Bros, speaks for itself. This stirring firm have a peculiar nack of “blowing their own horn," and the people know there is something in the wind when their blast is sounded. See what they say and govern yourself accordingly. A brief look will convince you that they now have the greatest stock ever seen in this part of the country, Where Market street crosses the W. A: A. railroad, there has been always in wet weather a slop and slush that has b*en provokingly to the disadvantage of those getting on and off the trains. This an noyance is now to be prevented, il anew sewer, intended to carry the water wont to settle there into a surface drain and away, proves effective. Col. Chas. I’. Ball, the newly appointed receiver of the E. Ac W. railroad was in the city a short while last week, to start from headquarters and take a look over the line before assuming control on the Ist of November. Col. Ball has success fully filled the position of general super intendent of the A. G. S. railroad, and served one term on the Alabama State Railroad Commission. He is a first class railroad mail of large experience, and we predict a successful career for him in the management of the E. &W. Cartersville will give him a hearty welcome. Rev. G. S. Tumlin has accepted the pastorate of the Baptist church for another year, at an increase of salary from #I,OOO to #1,200. Mr. Tumlin is one of the ablest preachers in the State, and we trust he will remain in Marietta for many years. He is greatly esteemed and beloved by our people. He is doing a good work, and we are glad to see him appreciated by the church he serves so acceptably.—Marietta Journal. The Cotjrant-Amehican rejoices with Bro Tumlin’s many friends here over his success. He could but be greatly es teemed and loved by any people so for tunate as to have him in their midst. Rev. W. 0. Dunlap, agent for Payne Institute, preached at the Methodist church last Sunday, and told something of the objects of that institution. It is intended to prepare preachers and teach ers for the colored branch of the M. E. church South. Before the war about one-tlnrd of the membership of this church was composed of colored people, and col ored congregations were served by white members of theconferenee. After the war some 50,000 of these people refused to leave their white brethren to connect themselves with other branches, and they have set up for themselves under the care and advice of the white conference. Since then they have grown to a membership of 110,000. They get none of the money that Hie Northern churches re lavishing upon other colored denominations. They look to the white people of the South for advice and help, and they should have it. Apropos of the season — From sorghum mill With sound so dull Comes ’las e t candy Youngsters pull.
