Stilesboro, Ga. Big fun, at the spelling bee Friday night. A special to the CoiiKtitution from Home, says: Cartersville is the boss cotton market of Bussection. Mrs. .John W. Akin left yesterday on a visit to relatives at Charleston. Hob Kirkpatrick, after a tough little spell of sickness, is on his feet again. The shingles are on tlie ground for putting anew roof on the Methodist elm reh. Mr. Znneri Jackson returned home Fri day last from si business visit of a week’s extent to La Fayette, Ga. The spelling bee is given for the benefit of the poor. Help them by attending, and enjoy the fun besides. The walking cane fakir held forth again on she square east of the depot last Saturday, attracting his usual crowd. The people do not endorse the verdict of the Eddleman jury, but everybody endorses Burton’s hand-made harness. Miss Eda Sands, after spending several days with friends in the city, returned to her Inane in Orlando, Fla.. Monday last. Thu melancholy days have come, Of ail the year the saddest, When coal dealers wear fh *ir sweetest smiles And ice men are the maddest. Former.-can get the lull market price for their cotton fit Cartersville, and save all the warehouse and other charges in other places. Col. I). B. Freeman, of that sterling weekly, the Cou rant-American, of Car tersville, Ga., spent yesterday in the city, —Rome Tribune. Frank Watkins says ha is all right on tin* tariff question and if elected for justi -a of the peace, which he expects to he b.v a handsome majority, he will marry everybody free of charge. I'M i tor Freeman, of the Cartersville Couuant American, was in the city to day. It is not threadbare platitude to *ny that his is one of the finest weekly newspapers in the State. —Rome Herald. Dr. E. H. Richardson, of Cedartown, was in the city Tuesday, and attended the sales, being an interested party in the commissioners” sale of the property of the iv E. Jones estate in this county. Mr. isarel Davis, who lives near the line of Polk, was m Cartersville at the *ale of lands Tuesday, He paid taxes on 11,000 acres last year, and why he want s more is the enigma of the season. Tv ' of Cartersville's skillful marks man, John Wikle and Charlie Wilkes, w*\i; down the East & West hunting last week. They spent two or three days around Stilesboro and nagged ninety quails. The Couhaxt-American is never sur prised atany good words it hears about br Headden. He is one of the brightest and best of the many men sent out by glorious old Bartow county to adorn the professions in other counties. Hugh Young, of this city, has been ap pointed mail agent on the W. & A rail road, vice C. M. D. Brown, removed. Hugh is one of our most popular and capable young men, and will prove an efficient man in his new position. Any gentleman or lady, boy or girl, who will spell with the spelling bee on Friday night is cordially invited to do s o, whether you have been asked per sonally or not, as it is impossible for the committee to see each one personally. Major John O. Waddell and Mr. R. T. Poole, of Cedartown, passed through the city last Saturday on their way to Macon to attend the State Fair. They had in charge Polk's exhibit of minerals, which H p they represented as beingquite creditable. Rev. W. If. Cooper, of this city, is con ducting a meeting at Adairisville, from which we have most gratifying reports. Many have been converted, the meetings arc largely attended, un 1 great good is being done, for which all good people will be thankful. The election is over—-now for the spell ing bee—Opera House Friday night. The pretty Cartersville Couraxt- American has reduced its subscription ju ice from $1.50 to SI.OO per annum. This makes the Couraxt-American one of the cheapest as well as neatest and newsiest exchanges on our table.—Cedar town Standard. The two large sycamore trees in front ot Baker A Hall's new building, on the corner of Railroad and Market streets, have been cut down ; and we hear some talk in favor of removing all the trees in front ot business blocks—for the reason that it’s not city-like, you know. An old darkey from the country was slightly hurt at the depot last Thursday while removing a bale of cotton from his wagon. He lost his balance and the bale wonld have fallen on him if some other hands had notcaughtit. He was knocked against the platform and his head some what bruised. Rev. Dr. R. 1). Headden, of the First Bap tist church, yesterday celebiated the fifth anniversary of his pastorate. A large congregation greeted him, and he preached a sermon of great force and eloquence. I)r. Headden is universally popular, not only with his own denomi nation, but all classes of our people. Cartersviile is already a long ways ahead in her cotton receipts. We have received nearly two hundred bales more than we had up to this date last year, notwithstanding the fact that the crop is shorter and began coming in nearly three weeks later than last year. This is a good showing, and indicates the grow ing importance of our city as a trade centre. Be sure that you attend the spelling bee at the court house* Friday night. Lets have some fun in recalling our child hood struggles with the old blue-back speller, which is the only book to be used on the occasion. Only ten cents admis sion and we promise you that you will receive at least the worth of your money in genuine fun. besides aiding the blessed cause of charity. A handsome compliment has just been paid tooneofCartersville’s brightest and most lovely young ladies in Cleveland, Tenn. Miss Annie Laurie Jones, who is attending college there has been made editress of her college jaj>er, a handsome one that is bound to sparkle under the management of the clever' a.nd bright young lady at the helm. Her many friends and admirers are happy to hear of her achievements Co 1 . Z. B. Hargrove, of Rome, (little Zacli), ]>ut in appearance here Friday to lay his claims for Congressional honors before an anxious public. The appoin ted hour arrived whe t he was to begin his talk, but the crowd was missing. Nine old gray-headed darkeys and three white men was the assemblage that gteeted his presence. He concluded to preserve his little peroration for some more appreciative locality. The Farmers' Improvement and Sav ings Association should be fostered and encouraged l>v all the jieople of the South. It was gotten up to afford form ers financial relief, without placing them selves at the mercy of foreign money lenders. In towns and cities it operates like the usual building and loan associa tions—enabling working men of small means to build homes and save rent. Lewis Allen, colored,yesterday evening had one ward too many. As the north bound train of the W. & A. stopped at the depot, on the platform of the second class coach aj) pea red a six-year-old negro girl. Some one said, “There is a child wants to get off here.” Lewis instantly seized the child and the train pulled out. The child, whose parents were aboard and were bound fora jioint farther north, as soon as she recovered from the sur prise incident to being snatched suddenly from the train, sobbed : “I didn't want to stop here, and I want my mamma, too,” and began a boohooing that at tracted much attention, and made Lewis the butt of a joke he didn't begin to relish. He was trying to pacify the youngster when last seen, and trying at the same time to decide what to do with his charge. A CARL*.
