Bartow county lias two of the strongest
men in the House, and a Senator who
ranks with the foremost men of that
body. Bartow always gets there.
Judge J. C. Fain bavingresigned, Hon.
Sam P. Maddox, of Dal ton, was on Tues
day elected by the Legislature to fill the
unexpired term, which ends January
Ist, 1889. __
The result of th# Birmingham riot is
terrible to coi template, but it is a great
mistake to condemn the law officers for
resorting to desperate measures, when
necessary to uphold the majesty of the
law. '
Carters ville’s further advance on the
road to* progress, depends upon the
united action of her live men. Croakers
and slow coaches should not be allowed
to block the way. Let the watchword be
onward and upward.
How long wid the people of this great
-country allow the present undemocratic
method of electing a President to stand?
7u the late election nearly 100,000 more
citizens voted for Cleveland than for Har
rison, and yet the latter carried a major
ity of the States, and takes the office.
The first great mistaxe at Birmingham
was the failure of the mayor to call °ut
the military at the first indication of
trouble on account of the Hawes murder.
An ounce of preventive is worth a pound
of cure. The military is intended to pre
vent riots rather than to quell them —and
prompt action by the proper authorities
will almost in variably preserve the peace.
The Cartersville Furnace & Steel Com
pany is pushing its work rapidly, and
•enlisting influences that will make this
enterprise far exceed in magnitude any
thing heretofore contemplated by our
people. Let them be encouraged by a
prompt compliance with their agreement
on the part of our people. The subscrip
tions to this work should by all means
be promptly met, as the installments are
called for. An enterprise that promises
so much for our city, should have every
man’s shoulder to the wheel. Carters
ville expects every man to do his duty,
and now is the time to act.
Christmas.
Our friend, W. F. Word, the druggist,
has something to say this week about
Christmas goods, and he has the goods,
too. It will prove a grand treat, just to
look through his magnificent stock of
useful as well as ornamental articles. He
is prepared to meet the wants of all classes
in the way of Christmas presents. There
is no end to the choice perfumery, lovely
toilet sets, and a thousand and one fancy
articles, too numerous to mention.
You should be sure to see Word’s stock
before Santa Claus makes any of his ar
rangements to make your folks happy.
Read Word’s advertisement.
Election Tickets.
The Courant-American is prepared to
turn out election tickets on short notice.
Candidates all over North Georgia will
find it to their advantage to send us their
orders. •
Mammoth Stock of Toys.
Old Santa Claus has arrived at the 10
cent Store with his entire stock of toys.
He will expect little, big, old and young
to see him, and will make the young
hearts go pittapat.
County Commissioners.
The following named gentlemen are
suggested as suitable men to serve the
county as County Commissioners, and
will be earnestly supported by
Many Citizens.
Ranse Griffin,
J. G. Lowry,
W. L. Adams,
Jno. P. Lewis,
• J. C. Milam.
TAYLORSVILLE.
The farmers are about through gather
ing and selling, but many dejßs will re
main unpaid. It does seem that if some
farmers would try as hard to pay their
debts as they do to “shirk” them they
would not only be able to pay, but have
something left for a rainy day. His to
be hoped that the alliance will do some
good towards bringing about a spirit of
economy among the farmers.
The pound party given at Squire
Leek’s, in. honor of J. F, Sproull, Jr., was
quite an enjoyable occasion. Mr. W. P.
Whiteside was on hand distributing his
sweetest smiles among the ladies.
Mr. Jack Edwards, our friend, has the
sympathy of the community on the sud
den death of his brother, who was buried
here last week.
There will be a Christmas tree at the
Baptist church at tin’s place for the
children of the Sunday school.
We have just been informed that a
citizen of Euharlee is negotiating for a
beautiful country seat three miles west
of said village. We will not say how or
why it is, but it looks very suspicious.
Our postmaster at this place has not
resigned on account of Harrison’s elec
tion, but can’t say what others will do.
We are in the midst of the fall trade
now, on the nickel scale, and business is
so pressing that the clerks do not have
time to smoke over half dozen cigars
per day.
Veritas.
HALL’S MILL.
We are very much stirred up on the sub
ject of mad dogs, catamounts or some
thing of the kind. It passed through
last Friday night about midnight, fight
ing dogs, and wounding several of them
so they are hardly able to get about.
None of them have gone mad as yet. J.
B. Lumpkin shot it, and says he pro
nounced it a dog. Mr. Edwards also
shot at it. It frightened the people
very much.
Last Wednesday evening just below
here the passenger train knocked from
the track and instantly killed Mr. Tom
Kenney. He had been walking the
wagon road and hadn’t been on track
more than two minutes when he was
knocked off. He w r as walking very rapid
ly with his back to the train. He was
to move among us shortly and had just
fitted up a blacksmith shop. He was on
his way home, near Kingston, after his
first day’s work in his shop.
W. H. Sherman is all smiles this week,
caused by being inverted from “old man
to papa,” expects to make a minister
of him I suppose from his name, “Paul.”
Mr. E. M. Dyar’B family had a vel-y
sad occurrence last week in getting most
of their wearing apparel, together with
four or five new quilts and other things
consumed by fire. Mrs. Dyar also got
her hands very badly burned. They
ha ve our s.vm patliy.
Mr. Joe Barrett lost a very valuable
watch last week around his gin, and
either thinks it is in the seu.l room or
pressed in a bale of cotton that sold for
9% cents per pound.

KING TON.
The oyster supper given by the ladies
of the Kingston Academv, Friday night
7th, was one of the pleasant occa
sions that wejiave had in our burg dur
ing the year. It was well managed and in
counting up the cash it amounted to fifty
six dollars. Misses Kate Beasly and
Nora White received the mirror and
album and Mrs. E. H. Bell the doll and
Miss Florence Bruce the as the most
successful contestants for the prizes, and
seventeen dollars were the amount of the
vote. The Ladies are under many obliga
tions to gentlemen of Cartersville for their
liberal patronage, Mr. M. Scheuer. I)r.

Our quiet little city was startled Tues
day morning at 6 o’clock by the tap of
the bell at the Methodistchurch, which is
the alarm when fire breaks out, our
bucket ifire company, which consists of
every citizen, white and black, old and
young, was quickly out. The fire was
located in the roof Mr. E. H. Bell’s kitch
en, and was soon extinguished with very
slight damage and all left with a good
appetite for breakfast.
