It is thought that Col. A. E. Buck, of
Atlanta, will be the .Southern representa
tive in General Harrison’s Cabinet. He
recently visited Indianapolis on invi
tation of the President elect.
Col. Buck, who has visited President
elect Harrison, indictaes that so-called
protection Democrats must do some
Republican voting before they can expect
“recognition by the Republican admin
istration.
Let theoonvicts be put to work on the
public roads of the State, and while suf
fering the penalty of crime, they will ben
efit the State by their labor. Under the
lease system, they come in contact with
honest labor, and build up big fortunes
for a few lessees.
The Constitution is doing some lively
guessing at Congressional candidates for
the next race It places Dr. Felton, Mr.
Clements and Judge Maddox in the field
in this district. Its picture of Dr.Felton
would indicate that he has found Ponce
de Leon's long sought fountain, and
renewed his yout h.
Two men at Decatur, 111., bet $750 on
the Presidential election. The money
was put into the hands of a stakeholder.
Before the election the man betting on
Cleveland went back on the bet, and
ordered the stakeholder not to turn
over the money. Hethen seed the stake
holder for the money placed in his hands,
and the court gave a decision in his
favor.
It is said that a non-paying member of
one of the churches in a neighboring town
complained to the pastor that he didn't
circulate among his flock enough, when
the parson replied, “My flock is not com
posed entirely of sheep, some of them are
hogs, and I can’t afford to circulate much
among hogs.” There will not likely be
any morecomplaintfrom thosamesouree.
More home-made hay will be consumed
in Bartow county the present winter than
ever before. This is one of the most
auspicious signs of the times. There is
no good reason why such a county as
this should not make all her hay, all her
meat and bread, raise all her horses and
mules, and help to supply thedemand for
these t hings in less favored parts of our
State.
Who says farming don’t pay? There
is said to be living in Baldwin county a
widow lady who is the mother of seven
daughters, but has no sons. She owns
some land upon which she and her
daughters manage to raise a small crop.
Last year one of her daughters went to
the woods with an ax and cut out and
made a plow-stock, fastened on a plow,
and with a little steer plowed the entire
crop, making seven bales of cotton and
considerable amount of vegetables. Still
ome folks say that farming doesn’t pay.
Rev. Sam Jones, in Iris sermon at the
First Methodist church two Sundays ago,
handled the saloons and soloon-keepers
with gloves off. Mr. Jones said he pro
posed to be in Atlanta during the next
Prohibition campaign with his big tent,
and “sit up” with the rum-sellers. Sam
Small has also announced his intention
to be with us about that time. With the
two Sams, backed by our own Prohibi
tion leaders, we may expect things to be
kept reasonably warm during the coining
canvass next fall.—Atlanta Common
wealth.
Juppe Barrett’s decision that the
Sugar Trust is a conspiracy against the
public, and that the companies which
have entered into it have forfeited their
corporate rights, will probably be sus
tained by the higher courts. The “com
bines” generally will undoubtedly soon
make common cause against the public
in the courts, but they will have to go
all the same. Three or four hundred
sugar, coal, pretroleurn and other sorts
of inouoplists will not be permitted to
oppress the other 05,000,000 people of
the country, at least not for any long
period of time.
If Uncle Sam lias a headache trying to
devise ways to best spend his spare cash
let him appropriate $50,000,000 in
building and subsidizing first class
steamships to send the products of this
country to the ends of the earth. If this
were done we would in all probability
control the markets of South America
I and Mexico. This would De a far better
kay of spending the money than in some
lr the nonsensical manners suggested by
bills constantly introduced in Congress.
Charlie Echols’ lawyers having asked
for bail for their client, Samps Cohen has
made affidavit to certain doings on the
night of the famous Covington murder,
which will doubtless prevent the grant
ing of bail to Echols. He says that
Echols, about time they were going to
bed, said he had to go out awhile but
would return and stay with them.
Cohen told him they would leave the
door open for him. Cohen and Thomas
were soon asleep. The public is acquain
ted with the scenes of the next morning.
Cohen says Echols carried the wagon
standard with him, which was found in
the room.
I>R. FELTON’S POSITION.
The C'ourant-American’s brief inter
view with Dr. W. 11. Felton, is attract
ing attention all over the country, and
has become a State issue. The doctor is
well able to hold his own, when any of
his positions are attacked. Ilis ability
and devotion to principle have always
been conceded by fair minded men who
differed with him.
Some of tfie papers, however, are be
hind the times as to doctor's entering
the ranks of the organized party. He
declared his purpose to do this at the
opening of the last State campaign, and
lias been elected to the Legislature by an
overwhelming majority, as an organ
ized Democrat.
The Athens Chronicle remarks:
“It is now conceded that I)r. Felton
will be a candidate for Congress from the
seventh district. The fact that the doc
tor calls himself a Democrat, and is in
perfect sympathy with the organized
Democracy, together with his gallant
record as the champion of education,
temperance and reformatory prisons, in
the Georgia Legislature, will place the
weapons in his hand with which lie will
fight his way successfully to Congress,
and regain the seat which he adorned
with such credit to himself and such
honor to the people of his State.”
On the other hand, the Grffin Sun says:
We are glad to learn that Dr. Felton
lias become an organized Democrat. lie
says he believes in party organization
through and through, and favors nomi
nations for every office from Governor
down to bailiffs. You would have been
welcome if you had called earlier, Doctor,
but better late Mian never.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS
Of tii Grand .Jury, nai tovv .Superior Coart ,
January T-rm, 1889.
M e, the Grand Jury, drawn and sworn
for the January term, 1889, of Barlow
Superior Court, find that the books of
the following Justice’s of the Peace and
Notaries Public, are correct:
Ingram, Notary Public 9G3 district;
Adair, Notary Public 827 district; Atta
way, Notary Public 822 district ; J. C.
Martin, Notary Public and Justice of the
Peace 850 district; T. F. Colbert, Notary
Public and Justice of the Peace 851 dis
trict; L. Burrough, Justice of the Peace
952 district; J. C. Paris, Notary Public
and Justice of the Peace 828 district; J.
P. Hawkes, Justice of the Peace 828 dis
trict ; W. E. Lee, Notary Public and Jus
tice of the Peace 819 district; J. C. Bell,
Notary Public and Justice of the Peace
1041 district; Fountain Whitaker, Jus
tice of the Peace 1423 district; T. J.
Haney, Justice of the Peace 1041 dis
trict;!. T. Bailey, Justice of the Peace
851 district; J. L. Vaughn, Justice of
the Peace and Notary Public 827 district.
We find the books of Ordinary correct,
with exception of thirty dollars in one
administrator’s return. We append
herewithjan inventory of office:
Eleven records of returns; 2 records of
wills, 3 records of bonds, guardians and
administrators, 6 records of marriage
license, 3 records of appraisment, distri
bution and sales bills, 2 records of letters,
1 record of county officers bonds, 1 record
of minutes, 1 code, 1 Russ’ manual, 55
Georgia reports, 20 acts legislature, file
of county papers from 1885 to date, 1
round table, 1 square table, 1 book case,
1 standing desk, 1 large case and staud.
Ismail case and stand, 1 case United
States weights and measures and case
for same.
Have examined the books and office of
Superior Court clerk, and find the books
are neatly and well kept, papers on file
regularly, and in order.
Wefind books of former sheriff fairly,
and in main correct. Through oversight
or neglect, he fails to make proper en
tries of disposition of ten prisoners not
now in jail.
Wefind in hands of county treasurer,
seven thousand six hundred dollars and
fifty-eight cents ($7,000.58.) We find
the books of treasurer correct except*as
to the fgllowing items:
1. Thirteen vouchers amounting to one
hundred and fifty-one dollars and twenty
nine cents ($151.29) not endorsed.
2. Five vouchers on pauper fund,
amounting to seventy dollars and fifteen
cents ($70.15) not endorsed.
3. One voucher for two dollars and fifty
cents ($2.50), expended on public well in
town of Carters ville, signed by J. C. Milam
clerk, and paid to Janies Wilkerson. We
recommend this statement of account of
treasurer, to notice of Board of County
Commissioners.
Wo find the County Commissioners
have not complied with the law, in hav
ing semi-annual settlements with county
treasurer.
We also find the clerk of Board of
County Commissioners, makes charge for
extra work in addition to salary as clerk.
We recommend clerk be paid one hundred
and sixty dol ars ($1(50) fn addition to
salary as commissioner and no perquis
ites.
We find books of School Commission
ers neatly kept. Total receipts from all
sources, fifty-nine hundred and thirteen
dollars and seventy-nine cents {5.913.79.
Total disbursements, fifty-nine hundred
and seventeen dollars and eighty-eight
cents (85,917.83). Wefind proper vouch
ers, except for seventy-eight dollars and
ninety cents ($78.90). After investi
gating the common school system in this
county, we find that there have been
children deprived of the benefit of their
share of the school fund, and that in
some cases non-resident children have
received the benefit. We also find that
the school board is composed of citizens
of Cartersville, who do not and cannot
know the needs and wishes of thecountry
people. We also find that many children
in order to receive the benefit of the
public fund, are. forced to enter private
schools that are designated as public
schools, and to pay additional charge,
which practically closes the dpor on
many poor children, who should be the
first recipients of the State's bounty.
We do not concur in the action of the
County Board of Education in regard to
school text books, but we most emphati
cally recommend that a uniform series of
text books be adopted for the whole State,
and not by counties. Weask our members
of the Legislature to use their influence
and votes to that end.
We find Tax Receiver’s books correct,
but also find that he is too lax in re
ceiving returns from taxpayers, much
property being returned to him in sums
far below its just valuation. We ask
that he more closely scan returns, and
when improperly made refuse to receive
them.
We find eighteen inmates at pauper
farm, houses clean and comfortable, in
mates well taken care of, and all seem
satisfied except Mrs. Huggins, who is
giving trouble, and Mr. Goode asks to
be relieved of her. The cost per capita
is six dollars per month. We find on
hand one mule, one one-horse wagon,
one cow and cad, 140 bushels corn, and,
200 bundles luthier. The oveiseer’s
house, barn and crib need repairs, which
we recommend lie made.
We tied tile court house and jail in
need of repairs, and recommend the
County Commissioners have them put in
r>afe and comfortable condition.
We return to the Court for neglect of
duty the Road Commissioners of the
following districts, 819, 822, 828, 851,
936,952, 1,041,1,424. and 1,425, and
in this connection we find the new cat
road from Kingston to Carters ville has
been abandoned. The road laid out
from S. T. Dent’s to the new cut road
intersecting the Kingston and Carters
ville road, at Harrison Lovelace's, we
find has never been opened and worked.
The road from corporation line on West
Market street, Carters vide, to the old
Baxter farm, is in dangerous condition.
Both of these roads have been specifically
mentioned by two, if not three Grand
Juries, and we now insist that they be
given immediate attention by our County
toinnussioners. The road on south
side of Hardin’s bridge needs attention,
there being a dangerous wash-out on
one side, and fence on other, leaving
roadway too narrow.
We make the following recommenda
tions :
First, We recommend that Board of
County Commissioners give Mrs. Carter
and daughter (wife and daughter of
Austin Carter, deceased), Stamp Creek,
the sum of four dollars per month.
Seciflid, We recommend that County
Commissioners relieve James Riddle, of
Salacoa district, from longer keeping up
bridge over Salacoa creek.
Third, We recommend that County
Commissioners establish a county chain
gang for Bartow county.
Fourth, We recommend that County
Commissioners pay Colonel It. H. Jones
one hundred and fifty-five dollars, the
amount paid by said Jones in putting
bridges across Stamp creek.
Fifth, We recommend the levying of a
tax of forty-five cents oil the hundred
dollars for county purposes for the year
1889.
Sixth, We recommend that the County
Commissioners erect court houses in
every district where necessary.
Seventh, We recommend that Joel T.
Conyers be appointed to fill the vacancy
on Jury Commission made vacant by the
election of R. H. Dodd to Board of
County Commissioners.
Eighth, We recommend the following
gentlemen as Notaries Public: Shelby
Attaway for 822 district, Henry Holland
for 1,425 district, Scot Hunt 85£ district
and J. J. Murphy 93(5,
Ninth, We recommend the passage of
a special law for Bartow county, to work
roads by taxation; that two dollars per
capita be levied, and balance of tax
necessary be raised from property both
personal and real. We ask our Repre
sentatives to have such bill passed.
Tenth, We recommend the County
Commissioners sell pauper farm, and es
tablish a home of alms on or
near Western and Atlantic railroad.
This has been recommended by previous
Grand Juries, and we are of the opinion
that recommendation of such Juries
should be carried out.
Eleventh, We recommend that these
presentments be published in the county
paper at usual rates.
In taking our leave we wish to express
our appreciation of the courtesy with
which we have been treated by the Court
WHAT IS
SCROFULA
It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro
duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifestar
tions usually ascribed to “humors;” which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Feiug the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
“CURED
By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof
ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one of them after
growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became
a running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hood’s Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
;i 11 indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy
child.” J. S. Carlile, Nauright, N. J.

You’ve said .you would grant me a favor,
And you now think, what can it be?
And so I’ve decided to ask it,
And see if you'll go back on me.
The favor’s a very simple one.
And I’m sure it’s nothing - amiss;
For all that I have to ask is,
That you will only give me a a kiss.
Now, I’m sure there is no harm in it,
That is one thing I know real well,
And in the name of all that is good,
I declare that I will never tell.
May this fair girl, in the coming years
Always enjoy a life of bliss.

AYdrtt ‘•A'eculiar” Means.
Applied to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the
word Peculiar is of great importance.
It means that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
different from other preparations in
many vital points, which make it a
thoroughly honest and reliable medicine.
1c is Peculiar, in a strictly medicinal
sense; first, in the combination of reme
dial agents used; second, in the propor
tion in which they are prepared; third,
in the process by which the active cura
tive properties of the medicines are
secured. Study these points well. They
mean volumes. They make Hood’s Sar
saparilla Peculiar in its curative powers,
as it accomplishes wonderful cures
hitherto unknown, and which give to
Hood’s Sarsaparilla a clear right to the
title of “The greatest blood purifier ever
discovered.” til feb 1-i

Before the use of Prickly Ash Bitters
became general throughout the South
and West, it was a fearful dose of “Blue
Mass,” and daily doses of quiin in l , that
was forced down the throats of sufferers
from all malarial troubles. In place of
spell obnoxious, harrowing curatives,
Prickly Ash Bitters, with its mild, sooth
ing action now holds supreme sway, and
after one trial, its use when necessary, is
forever established. You who have sick
headaches, sour stomachs, diseased liver
or kidneys,can do no better than to give
it a trial. til leb
A great mistake perhaps was' made
when Dr. Sherman named his great rem
edy Prickly ash Bitters; but it is pre
sumed that at that time all remedies for
the blood, etc.,iwerecalled Bitters. Had he
called it Prickly Ash “Regulator,” “Cura
tive,” or almost anything but Bitters, it
undoubtedly would have superseded all
other preparations of similar character.
The name Bitters is misleading; it is
purely a medicine, and cannot be used as
a beverage. til feb
One Fact
Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman-. It is a fact, estab
lished by the testimony of thousands of
people, that Hood's Sarsaparilla does
cure scrofula, salt rheum, and other
diseases or affections arising from im
pure state or low condition of the blood.
It also overcomes that tired feeling,
creates a good appetite, and gives
strength to every part of the system.
Try it.
