THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1837.
In revising the old books of
the Courant and the American,
preparatory to getting up anew
list, those badly in arrears will
be left off. The new books will
be finished February 15th.
Editorial Brevities.
Cartenville’e boom does not depend
solely upon foreign capital to keep it
alive. Her locution, health, climate and
the inexhaustible wealth of natural re
sources surrounding her, ouly need the
confidence and united effort of her peo
ple .to give it vigorous vitality and
growth.
The South may be represented on the
the luter-State Commerce Commission
by ex-Gov. James Milton Smith. He is
a native Georgian, has been a member
of the bar of that State for forty years,
several limes has been elected to the
Legislature, was Governor from 1872 to
1877, and baa since been engaged in the
management of railroads, either as re
ceiver or president. He is said to be
one of the ablest lawyers in the South, a
man of judicial mind, and particularly
well versed iu railway law.—New York
Sun.
The country is agaiu shocked by
another terrible railroad accident.
Agaiu an express train, rushing through
the night, is hurled from the track.
Again cars tumble from the rails and tail
headlong dowu to a river bed and
scores of men and women perish the
most horrible of deaths. This time
Vermont is the futed State. Last Fri
day night the Montreal express which
runs from Boston to Montreal, was
crossing the White river, and a broken
rail threw it into the water fifty feet be
low, the engine and tender alone escap
ing. There were at least fifty lives
lost, and many almost fatally injured.
The account* given by the newspapers
of this most fearful easualty ate heart
rending, indeed, and impresses one with
the dreadful uncertainty of life upon the
rail.
THE ETOWAH COMPANY.
We regret to learn that the purchasers
of the Elowah property do not propose to
oiguuize and be chartered as a Bartow
county corporation. *
The lauds bought lie almost entirely in
this county, and here must lie the site of
their woiks and operations. Our Superior
Court, with power to grant the charter, is
in session, and local pride and local inter
est would have been gratified by this com
pany becoming a resident corporation—a
Bartow county citizen—one of us.
This iuitial movement may well inspire
distrust and the suspicion tint Cartersville
and Bartow county sre to be but slight
beneficiaries under the new regi me. It
would seem that the establishment of cor
dial relations with the people who must
o some extent affect their interests, would
have been more entirely subserved by ap
plying to that court for a charter which
must necessarily pass upon litigation now
pending, and perhaps much more yet to
be instituted
We wish the new company well; and
hope that it sincerely desires to benefit
that county from which it must draw nil
tLe profit ol its investment.
The jurorß of Bartow county are veiy
suspicious of corporate power ; and they,
in common with all the citizens, would teel
more cordially towards this new company
were its home offices located in the
county from, and out of which, it expects
to make its money. But we shall see what
we shall seo.
LAST WARNING.
We have repeatedly called attention
to delinquents on the old subscript ion
books of both the Couraut aud the
Americau, and asked that they cnne up
and settle the amounts they are due by
the 15th iust., or else their names would
be dropped from the books of the
Coubant-Amebican after that late.
Now, we are aware that such requests
have so froqneutly been made by papers
to no purpose, that they have come to
be looked upon os meaningless; hence
to be disregarded by those to whom
they are directed. We desire to again
reiterate this request, aud do so with
an emphasis.
All persons iu arrears, to either the
Couraut or American, up to Jauuaiy
Ist, the time of the consolidation of the
two papers, who have not paid the same
by the 15th inst., will have their names
dropped from the books of the Cocbant-
Ambricak.
It is our purpose to make the Cou
bant-Amebican a first-class uewspaper
in every particular, and to do so neces
sitates a heavy expenditure of money on
our part. We have already made con
siderable outlay in the purchase of ma
terial, presses, etc., until our office is
one of the best equipped in the State.
Few people realize the expense attached
to the publication of a paper the size of
the Courant-Amkbican, with 2,200 cir
culation. Coat of paper, coni[>osition
and incidental expenses aggregate quite
a large amount monthly, which must be
met promptly with the cash. Our pa
trons will see at once the necessity of
our establishing as near as possible a
cash basis. Sometimes the exigencies
of the case demand that we occasionally
indulge a subscriber, but this we shall
only do for a reasonable time, and then
where the parties aie prompt iu paying.
Those who fail to receive their paper
on and a! f er this issue will know the
cause; aud if they desire its contin
uance, or their names reinstated, it will ,
bo done upon their coming forward and !
settling up.
PULL TOGETHER.
It is time for the citizens of Barlow
couuty to wake up and pull together.
Our great need is aasocia‘ed effort d l .
rected to the bringing forward o! the
innumerable resources of our county to
the attention of investigating c.ipital.
In other words, we should now blow our
own horn, and blow it so long and loud
that Anniston and Decatur and Bir
mingham and Belma and Rome will
rush over to Bee what’s the matter with
us all.
The tide of capital seems sweeping to
the north rtf us, to the south of us, to
the eat of us, to the west of us, and the
good Lord knows wlieie else beside.
Why doesn’t it fl >w into Bartow ?
The great reason is we have uot been
properly advertised. The attention of
ctpitalists have uot been drawu this
way. We let the millionaires rush by
oar doors. We suffer the tide to turn
away and make no effort to control it.
We stick to our poverty-stricken ruts.
H ueU fore the rule of action has been
i tspired too much by individual selfish
new. We have had too many critics,
croikers and leaf ore. The proportion
of seat-patched breeches is entirely too
large. It has heretofore been too much
the habit when anew enterprise was
projected, for a proportion of the citi
zens, sometimes a few and sometimes
many, to immediately fall to work—not
to build it up, but to pull it dowr.
These are plain words, but they are
true ones.
We appeal to our citizens to discour
ago division. Let us have uuity of
spirit and action, and an intelligent and
combiued effort to seize the opportuni
ties which now present themselves, ere
it is too late.
Why cannot the citizens of Carters
ville, in a public meeting, pledge the
town to a hearty and material support to
any company which will at once build a
railroad from here to Gainesville?
Why cannot the citizens of Carters
ville, in public meeting, provide for the
employment of a competent mineral
ogist, who, iu connection with a com
mittee of intelligent citizens, can make
a thorough examination and report of
the various mineral resources of the
county, and this report be published iu
pamphlet form for distribution and iu
such Alabama and Georgia papers as
will most effectually attract the attention
of investors and capitalists ?
Why cannot the citizens of Carters
ville procure the presence and pen of
Mr. Grady? He is a Georgian of Geor
gians ill affection for his mother State,
and it would doubtless be a heartfelt
pleasure to him to contribute to her wel
fue by aiding the development of ap
portion of her common wealth.
Why cannot the citizens of Curters
villa rally around the Cartersville Land
and Improvement Company, and by
taking stock in it, organize, for the first
timo in the existence cf the town, a
combined effort to make hor blossom as
the rose?
Why cannot the citizens of Carters
ville, through the medium of the Laud
and Improvement Company, or through
a bureau or agency for that purpose,
make special and direct efforts to induce
the visitors of men of means and enter
prise, who would unite w-itli the citizens
here, to begin such enterprises as are
necessary to inaugurate the new era of
push and prosperity.
Why cannot the citizens of Carters
ville make the man who croaks or pulls
bade now move up into the extreme
northwest corner of Mechanicsville?
That’s the place for him. Fire him
out.
I.et grumbling, croaking and doubting
cease. It is all inspired by miserable
selfishness. Let it be at once recog
nized and thoroughly understood that
cur hearts are set and all our hands
locked for a hard pull, and a pull all to
gether for the good and prosperity of
Bartow- county.
“WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS
REP
There is a certain class in every com
munity that have never a good word for
the place of their residence, who are al
ways ready to cry down any enterprise
or enterprising feeling that may arise,
who are always ready to swamp anybody
to make a dollar or so for themselves.
Cartersville will “acknowledge the corn”
and the possession of a few of these in
dividuals. They are genuine and fully
up to the standard.
The few wo have, unfortunately for
the community at large, possess mineral
property, aud, “dog iu the manger
like,” refuse to sell or let go. Item em
ber wo’ve only a few of these, but they
are awful. One we have in mind bought
a lot of laud a year or so ago for a song,
which proved to possess some mineral.
When the etnbro boom struck town a
few days ago this individual became
restless and stopped digging in his dirt.
The few tons cf ore that was lying
around loose became gold iu his mind.
Every rumor that reached his ears en
hanced the value of his lot, and he final
ly got to the point if a man iu casual
conversation remarked that there might
be a boom in this section some of these
days, the little lot of laud rose several
points. Th climax was reached when
Gov. Joe Brown passed through our
town and casually remarked that we had
a mighty fine country. The individual
iu question banked ou Uncle Joe’s judg
ment and instantly declared his lot off
the market. And there it remains fo
this hour, a little is 2 hole in the ground
with a wild, raving owner. Real estate
men declare that it is hard to tell which
is the worst off: the little two-dollar
hole or the wild, raving owner. The
poor fellow in his rabies often speaks of i
his wealth that kas loug ago passed the
million dollar post. lie is unfortunate
and unless a boom does strike him he is
lost forever.
There are a few iu our midst that are
holding on to their possessions like glim
death, and if a perpetual boom of most
gigautie dimensions should come they
never would sell. This class, for'unate
ly, are few in number and what they
keep out of the market a ill not affect
anything. Acres upon acres aud miles
upon miles of the very best mineral
property are iu the market and at very
low figures. There are a great many
sensible men in the County who knows
a good thing when they sea it aud are
ready to sell ut a moment’s uotice. t
PERTINENT POINTERS.
Your Unde Joseph E. Brown, the
same long headed old gentleman that
never touches anything that does not
turn into wealth, the motor of our section,
the man who can turn more wealth into our
section than anybody, has became inter
ested in the good old county of Bartow.
The Governor has for some time, with
his great Dade Coal Company, been oper
ating among the minerals of the upper
part of the county, and rumors fly thick
and fast that the old gentlemen likes
Bartow dirt so well he wants more and a
heap of it. His company has invested
largely in our county, and if we had
nothing else to b ise a boom upon than
this fact we think it would be sufficient
We are led to make these re
marks by reading the following items
from the Kennesaw Gazette,
the official organ of the great
Kennesaw route, owned and managed by
Joe M. Brown, son of the governor.
Young Joe is a whole team within him
self and from the items below it will be
seen that he has considerable faith in our
county as well as his father:
The next boom, the one that is coning
to stay, will be on the line of the Western
<k Atlantic Railroad, in Bartow couuty,
Georgia, near Cartersville and Rogers
Station. “Dinna ye bear the slogan?’’
Undoubtedly the best location iu
America for the establishment of a
manufactory fur steel is at Cartersville,
or Rogers Station, Ga., on the Western &
Atlantic Riilroud. All the component
parts which enter into its composition are
either right there are with a compara
tively short distance. The rail communi
cation direct to these two points goes
immediately through the lands
where the ores, coal, etc,, are to be found.
The same number of the piper has
lengthy articles concerning the many
advantages of our section. Bartow
county and Cartersville is well advertised,
an advertisement that will pay most
handsomely.
The boom is coming for a fact, bow
long off we cannot say, but she’s coming.
New faces are seen on our streets every
day. Some transactions are made. Our
people receive strangers with open arms
and render them all the assistance pos
sible. Exhorbitant prices are unknown,
and capital finds ready and safe invest
ment, every one seeming interested in the
advancement of our county and section.
This is what makes a boom, and we be
lieve she is coming. “Dinna ye hear
the slogan?”
Astonishing Success.
It is the duly of every person who has
Boschee’s German Syrup to let its won
derful qua’.tics be known to their friends
in curing v ensumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact
a 1 throat and lung diseases. No person
can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieye any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con
sumptive, at least to try on' 1 bottle, as 80,-
000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine as the German Syrup
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
driurgiet about it. Sample bottles to try,
sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents.
Sold by all druggists and dealers, in the
United States and Canada. nov ly
It isn’t every young man who can in
dulge in a $1,000,000 drunk, but the
sou of Senator Fair, ol Nevada, did it
the other evening in Washington, when
he tried to shoot ex-Representutive
Page, of California, because the latter
refused t<s take a drink with him.
Young Fair had been promised a cool
$1,000,000 if he would go for a year
without drinking, and bad scored up
seven months of the allotted time, but
the temptation to go on a tear that
would cost a round million was toojrlit
tering for his little mind, and he fell.
Young Mr. Fail may never be a senator
or a hero, but geneiatious will rise up
and point to him as a man who treated
himself to one of the costliest druuks ou
record.
ADVICE TO MOTHfc.US,
Are you disturbed at night and broken
of your vest by a sick child suffering ahd

tarte and is the prescription of one of the
oldest and best female "nurses aud phy
sicians in United States, and is for.sale

Price 25 cents a bottle.
It took $315 worth of flowers to bury
the last alderman who died in New York.
When somebody asked Douglas Jerrold
for a sixpence to bury a bailiff, Jerrold
replied: “Here’s a shilling; bury two!”
The moral is obvious.—Boston Herald.
KNJOY LIKE.
What a truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives us grandeur of moun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands of
means of enjoyment. We can desire no
better when in perfect health ; but how
often do the majority of people feel like
giving it up disheartened, discouraged
and worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every suf
ferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof,
that Green's August Flower , will make
them free from disease, as when born.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint are the
direct causes of seventy-five per cent, of

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.
For over six years I have keen a terrible
sufferer from a troublesome kidney com
plaint, for the relief of which I have spent
over $240 without benefit; the most noted
so-called remedies proving failures. The
use of one single bottle of B. B. B. has
been marvelous, giving more relief than
all other treatment combined It is a
quick cure, while others, if they cure at
all, are in the distant future.
C. H. Robeets, Atlanta Water Works.
Dr. L. A. Guild, of Atlanta who owns a
large nursery and yineyard, has a lad on
his place, who was cuied of a stubborn
case of Scrofula, with one single bottle of
B. B. B. Write to him about the case.
“Consumption Can be Cured.”
Dr. J. S. Combs, Owensville,Ohio, says:
“I liava given Scott’s Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites to
four patients with better results than
seemed possible with any remedy. All
were hereditary cases of Lung disease,
and advanced to the stage when Coughs,
pain in the chest, frequent breathing, fre
quent pulse, tever and Emaciation. All
the cases have increased in w’oight from
10 to 28 lbs., and are not now needing any
medicine. I prescribe no other Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites,
Lime and Soda, but Scott’s, believing it to
be the best.” febS-lm.

EUHARLEE’S BOOM.
THE LITTLE VILLAGE WILD OVER
AN IMPORTANT FIND.
A Few Pointers Hist Mean A Great
Deal.
Eds. Cod rant-American -.—The Birm
ingham boom has struck our little town
ike a cyclone and lifted property fifty
per cent above par, over the recent dis
-1 covery of a fine marble bed on the farm
lof Judge Tumlin, a former resident of this
place. When the discoyery was first made
known, many of our citizens, adhering to
the old adage, that “All’s not gold that
glitters," were disposed to ridicule the
matter. Mr. W. B. W. Leeke was dis
patched to Atlanta to have a specimen of
the rock dressed and analyzed. It proved
to be a rare specimen of gray marble,
which is supposed to exceed the Vermont
marble for durability (in this climate) and
second to the Italian in quality. From
geological observations the vein seems to
be inexhaustible, as it extends over a one
hundred acre field; beside* there are out
croppings on several adjoining farms.
A joint stock company, composed of
energetic and monied men, is being organ
ized for the purpose of taking immediate
action in opeuing up a marble quarry.
Preparations are also being made to im
prove our streets, and divide up the prop
erty into city lots. Our citizens can
scarcely realize that these old rocky hills,
which have been eye-sores to most of us,
and banes to every bare-footed boy, con
tains inexhaustible beds of pure marble.
Messrs. Battey & Hamilton, of Rome,
have purchased a two-thirds interest of
Mr. C. Dodd’s iron ore beds, which are
situated four miles west of Euharlee. The
ore from these beds have been pronounced
by competent chemists to ba equal to any
in the Southern States. Some Northern
capitalists were down last week inspect
ing the mines with a view of com
mencing operations soon. If the authori
ties of the Reme and Decatur railroad
give us the “go-by,” we intend to build a
road of our own to your city in order to
ship our valuable minerals.

MRS. FANNIE E. JONES.
Died, at her resilience on 8 ndav, February
6th, at S-. 30 p. in., Mrs. Fannie E. Jones, the
wife of Rev Job J Jonos, aired 41 years The
inter uent took plaoo at the Bonham family
b uryinfr ground, Ilartow oounty, ou the even
ing of the 7th instant
As one wearied by a day of toil, of con
scious good for others, falls into gentle,
slumber when the night time comes, so
this gentle hear ed, sweet spirited wife
and mother glided peacefully and calmly
from this finite dream of life into the Um
itless realization of life eternal “We can*
understand death for the first time,” wrote.
Madam de Stael, “When he puts his hand
upon one whom we love ” Surely then,
the cherished ones so near and so dear to
this lovely woman have been taught by ;
their agonized hearts in the crushing blow
that has befallen them, the full and terri
hie force and import of death.
The deceased was a lady of rare and
exceptional character, a sweet devoted
wife, a tender, fond and loving mo her,
every earthly interest, hope and aspiration
was centered in her husband and children.
The constellation of her attributes shed a
g’ory over her household. She was thq
central sun of that household from which
its members drew inspiration, jdy antf
hope Her pleasures were in the Jiappijj
ness of her family Her self renunciatioq
for the good of’-otliers was a distinguish;
ing characteristic. Her faith in God and*
His promises was beautifully consistent
with her whole life. She believed with alj
the force and strength of her reason and
being in the infinite truths of God
enunciated by Christ. Her faith had ffq
foundation as deep as the depths of hist
grand Christian character, and she believ
ed that though “the hills may turn to dust
and the seas be drunk dry by south minds]
yet His word shall stand because it is the
Truth ” It may be laid of her, if it can
not be said .of anyone else, that she as %
mother was alo ving proxy for'God, fir as
the old Rabbis so beautifally said, “3c"’
cause God could not be everywhere he
made mothers.” Her love and care and
sympathy for the ones so near her heart
crystalized into an unequalled devotion,
Just as the sun was mingling his light
with the shadows of departing day the
precious remains of this true woman were
consigned to mother earth, and the bowed
heads and bruised hearts of sad and
weeping relatives and friends, who stood
by the yawning grave attested the nobl lity
and the worth of the loved one gone It
was a sad sight, yet sweetly sad, the be '
reft husband and cherished children,
wifeless and motherless, standing and
kneeling by, with tear bedimmed eyes and
hearts wrung with agony, and yet rising
superior to the sorrow which encompassed
them was the glorious consciousness that
“listening love indeed heard tlie rustle of
a wing.” And as the grand old patriarch
in the service of God, with tremulous
head and swaying form pointed to the
virtues and lovely raits of character of
the deceased, whom he had known from
infancy, there was not one in all the con
course of friends who heard him, I at said
in their hearts, truly this was a life td
live and this & death to die Her faith
indeed had built a bridge across the gulf
of death j
Mm. Jones was born in Lawrence, S. C ,
and was the daughter of Major John D.
Wright, a prominent man in his state,
and u patriot who laid down his life
for the cause of the Confederacy
Her mother was the daughter of Major
Willis Beuham, and sister of Dr. W. I.
Benham, of this county. When tLe
deceased was but au infant her mother
died aud from that time until her mar
raige iu 1866 she was in the tender aud
loving care of her grandfather. At an
early age she joined the Presbyterian
church, the church of her hither aud
mother and the church of her choice.
It was through her sweet counsel, earn
est, loving advice and yearning prayers
that her husband was brought to the
knowledge of Christian truths aud the
true worship aud eervice of God. This
devoted mother left six children, who of
a truth mourn her Ices—three of these
are very young, but, as Richter says so
comfortingly, “The smallest children
are nearest God, as the smallest planets
are nearest the sun,” let us have faith to
believe that God will keep all of them
under the Almighty shelter and covert
of his love. Death with this -sweet wo
man was hut the clearing up shower of
life, behind and through the scattering
clouds of which irradiated the serenity
and glory of heaven. F. J. T.

. Knoxvil'e is pretty well represented
ou tlie shelves of our merchants’ stores,
especially groceries. Ami this latter
line is dealt out .here in large quantities
through the unflagging energies *! Jno.
S. Beagle, the Bishop uf 0 >ne, S uel Is
& Cos., Knoxville. Now, in recognition
of our liberality towards his house and
the congeniality of our citizens towards
him, all were invited, not even the wid
ows or orphans slighted, to a banquet
served at the Stanton House last Bitur
day night.
The cuisine and arraigned tables were
sumptuous through those capable and
deserving ladies, Mis. Hilburn and .Mrs.
Bearden. Had we the advantage of
high Kimball and the splash of its
French, we might herald society of a
“recherche” au affair, but nothing pre
scribed was observed, simply a good
easy, enjoyable time. Toasts were ex
changed among them and a response
from Mr. Seagle. Lid and lassie
danced under, the strains of appropriate
music until the “tiunitu mris” command
ed a break rauks march. Thus -ended
a most delightful memento
of honest John .Beagle.
ANOTHER COKBESPONDEXT.
Mrs. Thos. J. Hilburn visited Mrs.

Mr. B. W. Lewis has returned home
from a visit to hi3 brother, Mr. Jno. Lewis,

week on account of sickness.
Miss Maggie Anderson visited the Gate
City some days ago. ; -
Mr. G. C. Golston, of Dalton, was here
the other day shaking hands with his old
friends and looking after his interests
here.
’ Mr. Nicholson, of A the s, was in our

Mr. J. P. Dyar has returned from a trip

Miss Bessie Anderson, of Kingston, is at
her grandmother’s, Mrs. Bowdoin’s.
Col. S. V. Stewart, of Charleston, was
here last week.
Mrs. Mary Williams, of Limestone,
Tenn., who has been visiting her mother
this winter, has returned home.
Key. Mr. McMurray preached at the
Baptist church Sunday, Dr. Felton at the
Methodist. The doctor will preach for us
every first Sunday this year.
Tue First Chance seems to be doing a
good business from the occupants that
haye beenin our lock-up, and the times
our city council have been forced to meet.
Our little calaboose had to hold six at one
time last week. This shows that we will
improve our town, but we wish our
neighbors had a law to carry irto effect.
We have ascertained by interviews that
the trade of the drinking people for pro
visions has fallen off over one-half with
our merchants, that is to say, the women
and children of our surrounding country
are doing on half rations. It is terrible to
tbiuk of.

Rev. J. M. W uite pvetiche! un interest

ufussdale is on a boom, at least the up
per part, where the railroad is coming
along and near the depot. The noise of
! the saw and hammer has been echoing
along our valley for a few days.
J. C. Herring has gotten his barn up,
thanks to the helping hands lent him by
his many kind and accommodating
friends. No community is quicker to
help a neighbor in time of sickness or
distress than ours. Town people don't
know how nice-41 is to get together and
help each other —not only the fun and
j merriment of the day, with a good diu
ner thrown in, but the approval of con
i ‘science' Tor having done as they would
wish to be done by. Now this is the
kind of material of which these Grass
dale folks are made.
Two men e died Rev. P. E. Hawkins to
the gate a tew nights ago, wanting to
stay all night. He detected they were
drinking and told them they had vvhis
key. One said, “We are not ped lling
whiskey, but will give you a drink.”
i He then pulled out a bottle and offered it
\ to Mr. Hawkins. They must have known
i he was a preacher, as they did not offer
the same inducement at other places.
The young peop e were given a candy -
pulling by Walter Hawkins, at his fath
er’s residence on Wednesday night last.
I can say from personal observation that
it was a most enjoyable occasion. The
guest3 were received and pleasantly en
tertained by Walter and his lovely sis
tors. The candy was splendid, especially
that pulled by .the young ladies, who
were thoughtful enough to bestow a
chunk upon ye scribe, as he is too old to
pull for himself. All was pulled very
white, except that of a few boys who had
not gotten all the dirt off th ir hands. I
am sure Will Rowland’s hands were
whiter than they have been since 113 was
at the last candy pulling.
Mrs. S illie Irick is confined by an at
tack of roseola.
Misses Aline Best, Lula Hawkins, Effle
and Lillie Montgomery spent Friday
night and Saturday with Miss May
Battle.
The young folks that were at Dr. Bat
tle’s favored us with a most delightful
serenade a few nights since. After giv
ing us several delightful songs we were
favored with a harp duett by Profs. Haw
kins and Battle, accompanied by Prof
Weems on the violin, which wois most
skillfully rendered and receivtd hearty
app’ause. After nearly freezing the
young ladies out, they were prevailed
upon to come in, where they partook of
substantial refreshments. Come back
again—always glad to see you.
Mr. William Rowland is improving.
With no backset he will be out before
long.
1 am £lad to see you have such a lively

4? Tried in the Crucible.
About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctor* pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialist*. The medicine tney applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the paper* teiliug what
S. S. S. bad done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before f had used
the second bottle the neighbors could uotice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health hud been ban for two or three year*—l ban a hacking cougn and *pit blood contin
ually. I bed a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottle* of S. S. S. my cougb isft
me and I grew stouter than I had been for several year*. My cancer has healed ovsr all bat
.a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it i* rapidly disappearing. I would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.
