Our ice factory is being rapidly pushed to completion. A general dog killing would be a good thing for this community. The gas lamps are being fitted up, pre paratory to turning on the light. The water works company have their pipes placed along the main streets. Mr. W. J. Hudgins and wife, of Gads den. Ala., are in the city aud will spend a while with relatives. The general spring cleaning up spirit should get hold of the streets. They need it bad enough. Mrs. J. L. Johnson, of Rome, is visit ing the city, being the guest of Mrs. J. VV. Akin and other relatives. Let everybody clean up, paint and whitewash freely, and ours will be one of the handsomest cit ies in Georgia. With public schools, Cartersville will offer a better field than ever fora first class, well-equipped female college. Miss Annie Jones came home from Cleveland last Friday, on account of sickness. She is rapidly improving. Miss Alice Hawkins may now be found at the store of J. P. Jones, where she will be glad to wait on her many friends. The beautiful new building of Raker & Hall is about complete, and they are al* ready beginning to place new goods in it. The average darkey seems to be un happy unless each iiiemb r of his family owns from one to three worthless dogs. Dr. M. M. Puckett has returned from from Dalton, where he was forced to wrestle several weeks with a severe Case of measles. Prof. J. I. Inghram,of Calhoun, who is a very popular gentleman and one of the foremost educators of our section, was iu the city last Friday. Let us move in the mutter of a cotton factory and cotton seed oil mill. These two industries are specially needed, and will pay handsome dividends. A building boom seems to have struck Cartersville in earnest. More houses are now being built here than at any one time in the past history of the city. Rev. Geo. H, Gilreath, sr., will preach at the Methodist church in this city, on the third Sunday in April, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Everybody is invited to turn out. The First National Bank of Cartenr ville will be ready for business in about two weeks. This, with the Howard Rank, will afford necessary baukingfacilities for a while, at least. Rev. A. C. Thomas, presiding elder of the Rome district, preached at the Meth odist church last Sunday night, and held the second quarterly conference for the charge on Monday morning. J. P. Jones, the live wholesale and re tail dry goods man, throws a bomb into the ranks of the trading public this week. Read his “stunners” in the way of bar gains in another part of this paper. The burning of the Whitlock House, last Saturday was a serious loss to Marietta. Many of those who formerly summered there might be well pleased, if they would try Cartersville this season. At the quarterly conference of the Methodist church Monday J. S. Leake and Martin Collins were elected delegates to the district conference, which meets at Cave Spring in July. Alternates, R. G. Mays, Miles Collins. from the New Orleans Christian Advo cate we learn that Rev. Joe Jones, of this city, has recently closed a most successful revival meeting at Friar's Point, Miss, lhe man and his work are spoken of in the highest terms. Rev. J. S. Hillhouse and Mr. Jno. TANARUS, Owen left yesterday, for Roswell, Ga., to attend tbeCherokee Presbytery. In con sequence of the absence of the pastor, there will be no preaching at the Presby terian church next Sunday. The city council should have every dog in the city to pay a dollar a head license j for running on the streets. They area growing nuisance that should bechecked. Let it be done before we have any horri ble deaths from hydrophobia. Rev. H. J. Adams, the much-beloved pastor of the Methodist church, has re turned to his work, wonderfully improved in health, and preached a most interest ing aud timely sermon Sunday morning. Many hearts rejoice at his recovery. The numerous beds of early flowers that adorn most .if thefront yards of the city are the source ol great admiration to the casual observer who passes about our streets. In their varied and unique arrangement they evidence that the hand of taste has directed their construction. Little Justine, one of the sweet little five-month old twins of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Cobb, died last Saturday, April Oth. A flower, too frail for earth's bleak winds, But for a short time given, To twine its tendrils ’round fond hearts. Then draw them toward heaven. You ought to see that beautiful stock now just opening at Geo. W. Satterfield A Son's. They have been wonderfully successful in making many drives for spot cash in buying, and they always share their good fortune with their cus tomers. A call will satisfy you that they mean business. Capt. Tom Lyon is an enthusiastic be liever in Cartersville's future and will probably build a home in the city and move his family iu when the public schools open, He says when lie is away he can hear Cartersville and Bartowcounty men tioned more frequently than any other town and county in the State. Mr. F. M. Durham is now naving two nice cottages erected on the lot adjoining on the west his home premises, that are for rant. The commendable effort of our citizens who can to furnish dwellings to our incoming population will be much to the advantage of the city, while the interest in rents on the investments will be quite satisfactory to the owners. Pornn Johnson rises to remark, with hat off, and his politest bow, that h s barber shop is better equipped than ever. John Glover and Frank Meadows are in his shop, and they always please. The ladies will be waited on at their homes by sending their orders. Bring in the chil dren and have them trimmed up stylishly. Shop at the City Exchange Restaurant. The public school board have a big job on hand. Forty-two applicants for the position of superintendent. The board met last Friday night, but postponed the election for two weeks. Many good men are offering, and we are bound to have an efficient officer out of the num ber. The board are doing their best, and after they have acted, the first who begins to kick, should be soundly bumped. Mrs. Geo. T. Kershaw died suddenly in Macon Monday. She was a niece of (’apt. John Posted. Mr. Kershaw was a.year or two ago freight and passenger agent of tin' East and West Railroad and during their residence in this part of the State, Mrs. Kershaw became known tomany as a lady of a model disposition, high cul ture and refined manner and inthesorrow that surrounds the husband and children among these there are many sympa thizers. Baker & Hall’s mammoth new building is such a huge affair that we thought they could store away a National Bank or two, and still have plenty of room left for the largest hardware stock in North Georgia, but we were mistaken in saying that the First National Bank of Cartersville would find quarters in the new building. That institution will oc cupy the old stand of Baker & Hall, on Main street and that live firm will fill up their huge store with their own business. While in Atlanta last week we spent some time looking through the immense stock of fine furniture displayed by Sharp & Ouderkirk, whose stock covers fifteen thousand feet of floor and is not only the finest but largest stock, perhaps, in the State. They handleonl.v first-class goods and their immense business enables them to sell the finest goods at prices that are bound to take; hence it is not surprising that the success of this house has been phenomenal. When visiting Atlanta, you will find it a grand treat—-a sort of furniture exposition—to visit this house. See advertisement in this paper. The meeting at the Baptist church continues through this week—at 8:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. The congregations increase in numbers and the services increase in interest from day today. Dr. Headen is with us again this week, and his powerful appeals for the cause of righteousness, backed by a sweet Chris tian spirit, cannot be in vain. Thefaith ful pastor is abundant.in labors of love, and has cause to rejoice at the prospect of a great work of salvation in the com munity. May the good work goon until its influence is felt in every home and every heart. Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer is becoming a universal favorite for re storing gray hair to its original color, and making hair grow thick and strong.

Evidences of Appreciation—General Hantl sliaking—His Impressions of tlie Coun try, the People, Newspapers, Etc. Rev. Sam Jones and family are once more at home, and happy amid the hearty welcome of their neighbors. Though showing some signs of fatigue, the evangelist’s appearance indicates that he was well taken care of, and that the balmy breezes of California agreed with himself and the members ol his family who accompanied him. While delighted with the consciousness that his labor was not in vain in the Lord.it is evident that the famous re vivalist considers that Ihe toughest soil, morally, that he has yet tackled. In casual talks with -him we gather the fol lowing impressions of the country and people: “Because Caalifornia has never had a revival it is hard for them to have one. There has been no general breaking down at these meetings, but many caine for ward, professing conviction at each ser vice. The pastors say they never saw so profound a religious interest iu San Francisco, but it is the toughest soil into which I have ever put my plow. I noticed, riding through the valleys on the trains, in breaking up the soil for wheat they have six or eight or ten hor ses hitched to the plow, and the inoral soil is a hundred times tougher than the physical. “With the exception of Northwestern Missouri, the blue grass regions of Ken tucky and the delta of Mississippi, these California valleys have the finest lands I have ever seen in America. The vast areas in wheat and the wonderful pro products are sights. I am told that ' hey uow have a machine, either pulled by a traction engine or twenty-six head of horses which they drive into the low est, field and which cuts down the wheat, threshes it, measures and sacks it all at the same time. I anticipated, before I reached California, good times feasting on apricots, pears, grapes, etc., but I understand they were all shipped East before I got there. As to California oranges they are splendid to those who have never eaten Florida oranges; but the man who has walked up under a Florida orange tree before breakfast in the morning and pulled off a luscious, sweet orange and buried his teeth in its side and Ills nose in its top and enjoyed the bliss of such a feast can never have it in his heart to eat a California orange and not look back to the golden days. It rained almost constantly for the first three weeks we were in the city. San Francisco climate is remarkable in this: It is never hot ' r cold. You wear the same clothing the year round, and you sometimes see a lady dressed in white wearing a seal skin cloak. The system is very susceptible to colds there though they are more easily gotten rid of than in further Eastern States. “I was more and more charmed with the California preachers; they are hearty, wholesouled and courageous. I was less and less charmed with the California daily papers. •‘The editor of the Pacific, a Congrega tionalist paper published there, told me that one of the leading newspaper men on that coast told him that a decent daily could not live on that coast. I suppose that newspaper man knew what he was talking about and, as most of these papers seem to be living, the pre sumption is that they are not fattening on the presentation of the moral side of things. Some of the papers see nothing in religion except a great big joke, while others seem bewildered at anything like a religious movement. “I have been published as gambling at faro and as a foul-mouthed liar, as a bigoted hypocrite, etc. I was hunting for bigger game, but occasionally could not resist the temptation to shoot a skunk, and you know r when you hit one by the odor he emits; but in all, Califor nia is a greatcountry. It mountains, its valleys, its cities, its people. But really I had very little time for sight seeing. “I preached twice a day, with the ex ception of two days, from the 12th of January, until the day of our departure SCHEUER BROS., *§ P RING §TO C K e are now prepared to show the largest, most varied, # the host selected, and by all odds the cheapest stock ever opened in this market.

The longing of the children of Israel for Egypt was no more intense than 11 if longing ol ,e aud children and myself for old Georgia that we all love ho well, for with all her red hills, poor lands, etc., her people shall be our people, and where they live we will live, and where they die we will die. It would doubtless beinterestingtoour readers if we could give, them the San Francisco papers’ graphic desetiptionsof the touching scenes at the closing ser vices—the warm hand-shakings, the res olutions passed by thecity ministers, etc. —but our limited space at this hour for bids. Suffice it to say that Sam Jones left the golden state with her gates wide open, and with hearty invitations to re turn often and stay longer. After a short stay at home—that means Georgia—he will return to the far West, aud first lay siege to Denver, Colorado. Tlie Favorite. The newest fashion in ladies’ hats will doubtless cause a flutter of pleasurable excitement among the fair sex. Ladies are always susceptible to the changes of a fashion plate; and the more startling the departure, the more earnest the gos sip over the new mode. Dr. Pierce’s Fav orite Prescription is a positive cure for the ills which afflict females and make their lives miserable.

Read printed guarantee on bot tle wrapper. Southern Mines vs, Northern and Foreign Capital. Editors Coubant-American:— lt was I think from a recent number of the “Christian Index,'’ of Atlanta, that an extract was copied in which a high dis gust was avowed in reference to a news paper controversy as to whether North ern or Southern capital had accomplish ed the most within ten or fiften years past in the march towards material progress on Southern soil. The writer has seen very little of the controversy indicated. He does not at tempt to read all the papers, they are too numerous, especially the cigar labels, all the patent medicine news, and all the police gazettes, a few plain incontrover tible facts are timely just now, and he commends them to Southern readers, bui< particularly to gentlemen from Eu ropean countries and the Northern States. He will hazard the record of Dixie land in her onward and upward growth since 1860 against the showing ever made by any race of people that the Sun has ever blessed with his golden beams. The South came out of the war which despoiled and devastated, and burned almost everything within hei borders (except her lands, a remnant of her war scarred veterans, and some of their impoverished women and children,) very floor, seemingly she was a hopeless Recoverable- wreck of territory. In the face of carpet bag rule, lasting for years, of legalized political plunder by the mil lion, in spite of sectional abuse hate and verification, in spite of enormous taxa tions, cruel legislation, and an untold catalogue of evils, she has become what : she is to-day. i The Northern States were left by the same war rich, powerful, aggressive, defi ant and filled with venom. Many visi tors from across the border even now call us lazy, or know-nothings, and do nothings, and yet the truthful and care ful observer expresses amazement as he traverses Dixie, and is startled at her steady march in every feature of tempo ral advantage. How and wherein any high mind South ern man can find “disgust” from any respectable recital or reference to the greatness or excellence of his own people is to the writer’s mind unnatural and de formed. If capital from abroad has been brought in large or small amounts within our borders—it is purely because the munificence of the God of the universe added to Southern pluck have proven that the South—beyond all chance of a doubt is a good place for it; “Only this and uothing more.’’ It is a slander on the blessings of the Divine being and on the people who inhabit a highly favored region to place it on any other footing. A few brief facts now to relieve the writer of any charge as to sectional spite in penning the above, facts easy to prove and he closes. He happens to be living just now in a Norih Georgia county that is noted throughout the whole lund for its prolific abundance of useful ores, earths, etc., iron, mangunese, gold, asbestus, baryta, etc. Like many others he happens to have gone through with a deal 01 severe toil to prove to the world that such deposits are in said county. Hie fellow citizens know that he has sought out, cultivated and entertained Northern men and foreigners who have moved to that county to make homes there, to look at lands, examine mineral mountains with pick and spade, or otherwise prospect the country. He has spent many precious hours aiding and laboring with such visitors without fee or pay. With now and then a rare ex ception, as far as he can hear or see, it is and has been the poorer Southern man who has done and must do the prospec tive work, the severe strain on muscle, nerve and bone, the labor, and the risk that brings back no immediate return or pay, i. e., the hazzard of discovery and the ascertainment of facts. There is scarcely a man owning mineral lands in his county who will deny to our much courted visitors the opportunity to per form these examinations without stint, and reward them with an interest beside, in case they find the interest. Why do they not take hold of this part of the work if they be so marvelously enterpris ing? Where is the man who would hesitate about buying a gold mine-with all of the gold in sight—or an iron mine either, for that matter. M.

Almost every spring this same feeling comes over you and you are left in a thoroughly debilitated condition. You must then have something to eradi cate these impurities, to regulate the action of the liver and set you on your feet again, as it were.
