COURANT- AMERICAN. TZ-vmxy Tlx\.r<s..3r. CAKTKR.SVII.LK, GEORGIA. Official Organ of Bartuw Cooatj. i Edltort * nd Propri * tor - 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 crying with pain of cutting teeth?

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 such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpi tation of the Heart, and other distressing symptoms. Three do3es of August Flow er will prove iis wonderful effects. Sam ple bottles, 10 cents. Try it. tf 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.

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. “Hawkeys.” 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.

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.

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.
