■ A sad suicide oceured in Cedar town
Sunday morning. Mrs. Lila Crabb, the
wife of Charlie Crabb , and a bride of
only two months, committed suicide bv
fhooting herself through the head with
a pistol. The young people married
against their pareut's wishes, but ap
peared to live very happily together,
and no cause whatever can be assigned
for the rash act.
Mrs. S. ,T. Ware gave a very interesting

present and were much pleased.

piospeet of the bill's passing both houses.

Bigger fun than ever at thespelling bee
Friday night.
The Sunday school of the First Baptist
church have determined to have a sup
per on Thursday night, December 27th
1888, at the court house, m which the
members of the church are cordially
invited to join them with well-filled
baskets. Let the purse strings be loosen
ed and provide bountifully and let all
have a good time.
Step in friends, and whisper the news
you may have in the editor’s ear. We
will be thankful for all the points you
give us as to the movements of persons,
etc. • Don’t let you r u ncles or your cousins
or your aunts, visit town, go to Califor
nia. get married, and say nothing to the
editors about it, and then kick like a
Texas pony because the event was not
duly chronicled in the paper. Give us all
t * news you catch on to, and thus help
us make up an interesting paper.
“Handy Feet” is one of our best cor
respondents, gathering up news items
and putting them in short, sharp para
graphs. Don’t thinkyonr letters are not
acceptable if, sometimes it becomes neces
sary to cut them down, or they get in
too late for a place, or are crowded 4imt.
These remarks apply to all our county
correspondents. It is best to send in the
letters not later than Monday. II any
thing happens later than that, drop a
postal card afterward.
At the last teacher’s meeting of the
MethodistSundav-sehool, it was resolved
to give the children a supper and pound
party at the court house on New Year’s
night. At the same time and place there
will be a re-union of all the members of
the church. We are requested to say
that those who feel able are requested to
contribute to the supper; but it is es
pecially desirable that every member at
tend, and none should feel backward
about it because they are not in a condi
tion to contribute.
The fall term of West End Institute
closed last Friday. A number of the
patro sand friends of the school visited
it that day to witness the closing exer
cises. Quite an interesting program had
been prepared, the pupils all did their
parts handsomely, the visitors were de
lighted, and the hard-working, faithful
teachers were encouraged. This school
is like one big happy family, with system
and order enforced in such a way as not
to be oppressive. The children seem to
study for the love they have for their
books. We congratulate the principals
and their assistants upon the evident
success of the term just closed.
Prof. Peter Zellars has retired from the
faculty of East Cartersville Institute.
On last Thursday he bade good bye to
his numerous friends and boarded the
train for Lincolnton, his native home.
The teachers and pupils of the school are
unanimous in their praises of Prof. Zel
la rs, and in all sincerely regret
his departure. He had endeared himself
also to thecitizens at large, and, especial
ly, to the members of the Baptist church,
with which he was identified. Too much
can not be said in commendation of one
possessed of his moral stamina. In busi
ness he was characterized by punctuality,
energy and fidelity to every duty. Social
lv, lie is refined, genial and entertaining.
Cartersville will always welcome him and
give him a cordial grip.

Hunnicutt Medicine Cos.:
Gentlemen—My two-year old child had
whoopint? cough in its severest form, and
I cukl find nothing to relieve it until I
procured a bottle of Hunnicutt's Throat
and Lung Lure. After taking about one
l’ourtn of same, the dear little one was
cured completely, and has not had the
slightest cough since. I have used the
remainder of the bott e in my family since
for colds and coughs, and in every in
stance a cure whs affected, especially in
my own case. I had an aggravated sore
throat and. bucking cough of three weeks’
standing, and was cured with four doses.

A S I UNDERSTAND THE LAW, I AM
xY required to furnish the County Commis
sioners a.list of the registered voters, ten days
before the January election, which takes place
on the 2d day January, IKS9. Therefore, I can
not register any names for that election after
the 22d day of December. Young men who have
become of age, and old men who are not due any
tax should have their names registered so they
can vote if they desire. This is a duty the law
requires me to perform, and 1 hope the people
will feel interested enough to attend to the re
quirements of the law. I wish every legal voter
to exercise that privilege if he so desires, and if T
make mistakes I am always sorry when I find I
have done so.
Again, the Legislature last year passed an act
requiring tax collectors to issue two fi. fa’s,
against persons due poll and property tax. and
while 1 can see no good reason for the law, I have
no discretion in the matter, but must comply
with the law. Respectfully,
