Mr, H. E. Wolfe, who lias just returned
from the Augusta Exposition, places up
on our table a piece of the new pine straw
bagging. It has proven a genuine curi
osity to all except the few who have seen
the commodity before.
The number of buildings finished in the
last lour months and now in course of
erection—big, little and all—will number
about twenty. There are numerous
others in contemplation. This is a show
ing that Cartersville people may feel
proud of.
Clever Charles Patterson shows us a

lin, of this place, was last week appointed
deputy collector of internal revenues for
this district, the position resigned by
Hon. A. W. Fite. Mr. Tumlin will make

Will somebody lend us a hat for our
tears? It is saddening to contemplate
that the ides of January are so soon to
find the leap year of 1888 pushed into
the vast and dismal space of the subse
quently, and so many of'our magnificent
male catches left in the blank, bleak
realm of single cussedness.

A citizen pointed out to us the other
day two small dwelling houses that cost
him sll7 to erect and ho had been
offered $240 rent per annum for them.

put up more. The demand is still great.

ble of practicing with success in a general
way and in the several specialties he
names. fie is worthy of patronage
throughout a wide range.

mitted to jail.

Wednesday. His hat and a quid of to
bacco he had thrown from his mouth

There has been, more real estate
changed hands in Cartersville in the last
four months than tor any period of two
years iu the past ten, says a citizen who
has been a close observer and professes
to know what lie is talking about.
This activity fn Cartersville property
augurs well for the immediate future,

exist until recently.
A large chicken hawk a few days ago,
flew down into the yard of one of our cit
izens in the thickliest settled portion of

chicken, it was preparing to bear it off in

to the scene with a broom and with a
blow broke the prowler’s, wings. It at
tempted to fly, but failing, darted into
the dwelling, where it was soon caught.

The people of Bartow county .hail with
delight any new avenues that are opened
to her in the great field of commerce.
Dick Jones, one of our clever and wide
awake merchants, the other day shipped
a car load of pumpkins to Atlanta. This
is the initiatory in the pumpkin indus
try, but there will now be pumpkins and
pumpkins, and Bartow pumpkins will be
in extensive demand.
Col. Stiiart T. Martin has just returned
from a visit to important centers of cap
ital in the North and from a conversation
with him we are prepared to say the pre
liminary matters have been arranged
whereby not on’y Georgia, but Carters
ville, especially, is promised the early
benefits of an industrial scheme and a
concentration of capital that is greater
than announced for any Georgia town in
years. We hope to be able to give some
details in our next.
Col. G. S. Smith, representing the Age
of Steel, of St. Louis, attracted by the
wonderful stories of the undeveloped
mineral wealth of our section and town,
is hei-e for a few days. After in vest igating
so me vv hat oursu rr o u lid in gs heex p r esses
himself as convinced that we have, veri
tably, one of the most promising towns
in the South. He will doubtless give us
some of the benefits of his ready pen, as
he intends returning in a few weeks to
canvass for subscriptions.
Last week Mr. 11. C. Pentland, as agent
sold 3/2 acres, about one-lmlf, of the
property known as the Arbagast prop
erty lying in the city’s suburbs on the
Rowland ferry road, for $3,700. The
purchase was made through Messrs.
Hoke and Burton Smith, of Atlanta, for
some New York gentlemen, it is under
stood, who contemplate the erection on
itofseveral nice residences for rent. Thus
we see another-evidence of the city’s ad
vantages, which are such as are attract
ing outside capital to be invested in dif
ferent judicious ways. _
