Several changes in location have oc

Two negroes on Dr. Felton’s farm John
Brown and Phil Robinson, one evening
last week got into a difficulty when the
latter shot the former three times. The
balls took effect in an arm and leg and
produced only slight wounds. Robinson
came in to give himself up to the author
ities, and when a warrant was about to
be taken out, Brown refused to appear
on it as prosecutor. A jug of whisky is
thought to have been the fountainhead
of the difficulty.
The dwelling house of Haynes Milner,
a colored blacksmith, situated on Carter
street, was destroyed by fire Tuesday
evening. The fire originated. it is
thought, from a defective flue. The
flames had gained such headway when
the crowd attracted by the first alarm
reached the spot that it was found im
possible to save it. Some of the contents
of the house were removed and saved.
It took some lively work to save the
house of Mason Thomas that was dan
gerously close to the burned structure.

We notice that recently in a bee in At
lanta “accordion” was spoiled with an
“e” instead of “i.” The brain and finger
toilers of the Courant-Amebicax estab
lishment can say with truthfulness that
they have been under a spell of accordion
before the magnitude of which the Atlanta
spell pales into sickliest insignificance,
A*genial neighbor, a French gentleman

It is generally conceded by thore who
have given the matter thought, that in
any claim for “betterments,” theauthori
ties of the W. & A. railroad may make
against the commonwealth, no item will
occur covering expenditures on the depot
at Cartersville. It is the same dingy,
unsightly old structure it was twenty
years ago with the addition of the weath
er's effects for that space of time. The
city council would hardly offend their
constituency by asking leave and apply
ing paint to the exterior.
Some people are just as cross as a bear
they snap your head of when you hap

mean to buy a bottle of Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup, which would restore their good
nature.
