Miss Lucy Newton, of Ma.vsville, Ga., is visiting her sister, Mrs. .1. B. Conyers. Remember the poor—if you would be happy, strive to make somebody else happy. Mrs. Senator Harper, nee Miss Eugenia Long, of Athens, Ga., is visiting Mrs. J. 15. Conyers. Mr. and Mrs. George M. Jackson are guests at present of Mrs. L. Dickerson, of La Fayette, Ga. Word’s drug store is one of the most attractive places in the city. Don’t fail to see his holiday stock. Misses Markham and Stegall, of Emer son, were guests of friends in this city for several days the past week. Prof. Lee, principal of East Carters ville Institute, left Tuesday fora busi ness and pleasure trip to Wilkinson county. It seems that Santa Claus has busted and made an assignment, turning his whole stock into Wilde's drug store. Just see their stock. The Baptist Sunday school will have a supper at the court house one night next week. The little folks (and larger ones too) will have a good time. Some changes of schedule on the E. & W. railroad will take effect next Sunday. Nos. 1 and 2 will run on Sunday hereaf ter. See the time table elsewhere. Anew ticket is announced for county commissioners this week. Out of the names now before the people, there will be no trouble about getting a good board. The turkey crop seems to have proven a success this year. They are plentiful. Brices range from 75 cents to one dollar and a halt—the latter figure getting a huge gobbler. Mr. R. L. Griffin, not wishing to serve as county commissioner, Mr. J. L. Jol ley’s name takes his place on the ticket. Mr. .1 olley is one of our best and most progressive citizens, and if elected, will do the right thing for the county. When von go to Atlanta don't forget to visit i)olbridge & Orr, 110 Whitehall street. They have the largest stock of Christmas goods in the city, and if you will mention the Courant-Amkrican to them, you will get special low prices on everything you buy. Col. C. P. Pall, manager of the E. & W. railroad of Alabama, returned Monday, after an extended tour in the interest of his rapidly growing and important, line. He is an indefatigable worker, and is giv ing himself entirely to the work in hand. Any legitimate ee ter prise is bound to prosper in the hands of such a man as Col. Pall. ■ 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 entertainment at her residence last. Thurs day evening, consisting of performances °n the piano by her pupils. Great ad vancement. was shown by the skillful touches on the key-board, attesting at. once the painstaking and proficiency of Mrs. Ware ns a musical instructress, file patrons of Mrs. \\ are s class were present and were much pleased. Rev. W. H. Cooper, pastor of the Pap- Cst church, has returned trom V\ ashing ton City, where he has been looking after the claim of the church against the gov ernment. Hesays he was kindly received and given every attention by the Con gressmen of both parties. Besides our Southern members, he succeeded in enlist ing such men asSenator Hoar, of Massa chusetts, and is highly encouraged at the piospeet of the bill's passing both houses. Mr. 8. L. Yandivere has resigned the Position of master of transportation of *; ie E, A W. railroad of Alabama, a posi tion which he has ably filled for a long fhiiic. He is succeeded by his brother, Mr. W. .1. Yandivere, one of the best posted men on the road. M e arenot ad as to Mr. Yandivere's luture inten sions; but lie is bound to make a success of anything he undertakes. As he is one of the best railroad men in the country, ’Oid railroaders iorin such a strong at tachment lor the business, we do not ex- Poet him to remain out of :hat line long. 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. At the St. James: S. A. Stevens, Oak dale, Tenn; W. M. Foster, Rochester, N.

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.
