A gushing Cartersville miss was one of a party at a posenm stipper a few nights ago, and she was real provoked because she could not find a single wishbone in the dish. On account of a typographical error in his previous notice the Ordinary has made the time the stock law goes into effect in the 1423rd district the l3th of May, 1890. Politics has done much to popu arize the use of the word “barrels.” Said Ben Mountcastle, the doorkeeper at the opera house Monday evening: “Come right in; there's barrels of room left yet.” Thanksgiving day will be a legal holi day and the banks and postoffice will be closfd. The postotfice will be open two hours during the day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Last Sunday was a pretty day and as a consequence the churches werecrowded. Bishop Beckwith had as many to hear him as could be accommodated with seats and the other churches had good congre gations. Gentlemen who expect to become con testants for municipal honors are slow about announcing themselves. We really begin to fear that election day will go by default on account of a lack of candi dates to vote for. “There wilk be a great awakening in Cartersville within the next six months,” is a remark attributed to Hon. Joseph E. Brown. He refers to a great indus trial development here. The times seem ripe for such an event. A canning factory will be built in Car tersville in time for next season’s crop. It will be put up by Messrs Dick Jones and Miller, of this city, and parties from New York. It will have an out put of ten to twelve thousand cans per day. It was reported last week that Rube Burrows, the famous Alabama outlaw, was seen near Cartersville. If all the reports are true, Rube has a habit of getting around in a right sprightly way, aud it is a slow town that cannot get up a sensation on him on the shortest notice imaginable. The girls’ industrial school goes to Milledgeville, the legislature refusing to leave the matter open for bids by the different towns. Cartersville aimed to be a bidder for the school and would have donated a building far superior for the purpose than the old executive mansion. Brice Broyles, aged 25, was shot and instantly killed by Elmore Johnson, aged 22, atChattanooga, Tenn., Sunday. Both men were firemen on the Western and Atlantic railroad, and both have brothers who are conductors in that company. The remains of Broyles were , "hipped to Dalton for interment. The murderer escaped and lias not been | Caught - Both men are of good families, j and have borneexcellentreputations. A fashionable way to make tea for | callers now is to use a hollow silver ball, I freely perforated. This is filled with dry leaves, and is let down into a cup of boiling water by a tiny chain, remaining there until a sufficient amount of aroma and color of the leaves has been impart ed to the water. | About 1 o’clock Monday night an i alarm of fire sounded and firemen and I citizens, in all kinds of attire, rushed out. Some persons had made a bonfire in the southern part of the town and turned in the alarm. Roth companies were out and water was thrown. It was a big sell and caught a large number. Last Thursday Major A. M. Foute, representative in the legislature from Bartow county, was presented with a hundsonie ebony, gold-headed cane, by the members of the temperance commit tee, of which he was chairman.

Miss Geneva Attaway, of this city, guessed the nearest to the number of shingles ou a log house which was a part of an exhibit of Cooledge Bros, at the ex position, and won thereby enough paint to paint a house. The number of shirr gles on the bouse was 7,377 and Miss Geneva s number was 7,372. There were about five thousand guesses, ranging all the way from 400 to 5,000,000. The Cotjrant-Amekican this week is not a criterion of what the paper will be in the future. It is gotten out amid the confusion attending a change and con solidation. Next week it will be eularged from a six-column quarto to a seven 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 following: “J. A. Crawford has been ap pointed deputy United States internal revenue collector to succeed William Huff, of Macon. Mr. Crawford assumed his duties at Savanuah Saturday. He is from Cartersville, is about 33 years of 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.
