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. Bob Bail. 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. Cason, Mr. Will Vandivere, also Mr. Phil lips, of Chattanooga, and to Miss Alline Best, Miss Weems and Miss Sallie Battle, of Cassville, , 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. Sunday Rev. Dyer preached to a small congregation at the Baptist church ow ingto the inclement weather, lie isapop ular preacher and draws a good congrega tion. Our town is still improving. Gaines & Lewis have the lumber to build a store house on a lot fronting the depot, Mr. 0. C. R. Ware has bought the beautiful cor ner lot near the Gillam store, ijnd will erect a store and dwelling house. J. M. Davidson is re covering his house. So old Kingston is moving along. Capt.
