It was reported last week that Rube

a sensation on him on the shortest notice
imaginable.

in the future. It is gotten out amid the
confusion attending a change and con

column quarto, and will be garbed in the
beautiful and tasty new dress of the Ex
press, which we think will make it the
handsomest weekly paper in Georgia.
The Macon Evening News contains the

pointed deputy United States internal

age, and was connected with the revenue
service twelve years ago under* Andrew
Clarke, and eight years ago was one of
Walter Johnson’s deputies.
The Spelling Bee.
The best ten cent show ever given in
Cartersville was the spelling bee last
Tuesdav evening. A large audience
greeted the spellers.
It was about 8 o’clock when Mr. John
W. Akin, master of ceremonies, announ
ced that “the animals have arrived and
the performance will begin.” A nice mu
sical programme was a charming pre
lude to the evening’s entertainment.
The vocal duet of Misses Jones and
Elwain won great admiration. “Come
where the Lillies Bloom,” by a quartette
composed ofMisses McElwain and Jones
Messrs. Gruuger and Simpson, was ar
tistically given. The Misses McDade in
a duet won great applause. The recita
tion of Aliss Connally was an admirable
feature of the entertainment. “Rocked
in the Cradle of the Deep” by Mr. Gran
ger was enthusiastically received. The
flower song by Miss Etta Rowan was
given with charming grace and the au
dience manifested great delight. Asolo
by Mrs. Granger closed the musical per
formance.
Then the selection of spellers began.
Messrs. Christian and Akin were the
choosers and Prof. Robeson gave out the
words from the blue back speller. Each
selection brought forth applause Mr.
Dennis Yandivere was Mr. Christian's
first selection and Mr. E. E. Freeman
Mr. Akin’s. Soon the opposing sides
were arrayed ou the stage and the fun
began. The words went around before
there was a miss and soon thereafter
both sfdes were considerably thinned
out. Several ludicrous attempts at
spelling were made, but a number held
on well. It was finally narrowed down
to Mr. Hillhouse and Mrs. Memmler ou
one side and Carl Smith on the other.
Carl finally foundered and Mrs. Memmler
soon after spelled a word according to
Worcester while Webster spelled it dif
ferently, and amid upplause Mr. Hill
house was declared the hero of the occa
sion.
A Basket of Chrys inthKiDums.
The gloom of the sanctum was dis
pelled Tuesday by the glories of the
chrysanthemum, the queen of autumnal
flowers. A basket, containing several
varieties of this superb flower, and ar
ranged artistically, were sent in, with
the compliments of Mrs. Sam Jones. The
array of innumerable varieties, the be
wildering display of beauty in color and
shades and the wondrous forms of grace
of the flowers, would delight even the
eye of the Mikado.
These flowers, as in other cities, are be
coming popular in Cartersville, and un
der the loving care of our ladies increase
in the number of varieties and in grace
every year. The flower gardens are made
to-glow with their beauty.
J. R. Wikle & Cos., druggists, are re

A Beautiful Suburban Home.
Last week a trade was closed which will
have as its result the location as a citi
zen of Cartersville a most important
acquisition. It was the purchase of the
beautiful home place of Mrs J. C. Young,
located in the western part of the city,
by Mr. A. O. Granger, of Philadelphia.
This is one of the most desirable places
around Cartersville, being a most charm
ing rural retreat and near enough to the
town for all business purposes. The
Coerant-American greets Mr. Granger
and family as citizens of Cartersville!
Mr. Granger will make several improve
ments on the place before he moves. The
family of Mrs. Young will perhaps move
to the city.
