The Presidentof the republic of France

West Virginia began on last Tuesday

Dan Lamont and Gov. Hill had a se
cret caucus in N**\v York Sunday, the
purpose of which, it is said, was to de

The good jieople of Floyd county will

A taiu latki) statement of the growth
of Chattanooga, for the past year, shows
an addition of working capital in the
sum of $2,308,500; the increase in the
numbers of hands employed by 2,420;
the growth in value of total output by
over $5,000,000; an advance of $752,-
000 in the total wages account. These
figures are indications of marvelous pro
gress for this growing young city.
The demand for Mrs. Cleveland's pho
tographs is as active as it was at the
time that lady first entered the white
house as its mistress. The photographer
who persuaded her to give him sittings
for twenty-five negatives last summer has
sold over 50,000 and is still printing
them at the rate of 200 a day. He thinks
Hint when the full year of sales is up
100,000 of his pictures will be sold. The
net profit for the first eight months after
the negatives were taken was $7,000, al
most as mueh as the president received
for a year’s servi e as governor of New
York. What portion of this goes to Mrs.
( leveland, if any, the photographer omits
to mention, but a man shrewd enough to
secure the sittings would not be apt to
overlook the matter of caring for most
of the profits himself.
The fact that Prof. I’roctor and other
eminent scientist have predicted that the
supply of coal oil in the northern part of
this country will soon be exhausted leads
the New Orleans Tiines-Democrat to ex
press the opinion that cotton seed oil
mist, in time, take its place to a large
extent. It says: “There is a possibility
that ]x*troleum may be found in paying,
if not in large quantities, in the coal re
gions of the gout h. There have been sev
eral evidences of it here, but the search
lias not been as thoroughly made as it
should hav • been. Another point to be
considered in this matter is whether the
exhaustion of the petroleum supply of the
eonntry and the scores of other products
which come from petroleum will not have
some elTec t in advancing the value of
other oils, and particularly vegetable
oils like the product of the cotton seed.
Petroleum took the place of the whale
when the w hales were killed off: will not
cotton seed oil follow it in time? The
c Eton seed crop of the south is able to
day to produce half ub much oil as the
petroleum wells of Pennsylvania.”
OUR BOOM AND TUB LAND COM
PA NY.
In referring to Cartersville’s boom, in
liiKt week's issue, our reporter in speak -
ingot the agreement l>etween the Land
and Improvement- Company and the Eto
wah Iron and Manganese Company, was
in error in saying that the contract by
which tho latter company Imd obligates]
it self to erect furnaces, etc., had
keen “signed and sealed.’’ While this is
not the case, yet, it is true that the
terms of agreement are fully understood
ami are in writing ready to be signed up
just as soon as the land company is in u
condition to comply with its part of the
contract, this, it is hoped, they will soon
be able to do. The company is now fully
organized, and the plans upon which it is
to be conducted are agreed upon. When
all the stock of the company has be-n
subscribed for, then opeiations will b
gin. The promoters of the enterprise
have been extremely careful and cautious
in arranging every detail of its organiza
tion. They have formulated a scheme
that iH, in many respects, sujterior to any
similar undertaking in the south. It
commends itself to capital, as affording a
save field for investment. Indeed, so
well has the plan on whichjits business will
be conducted been r.rranged that it barely
premits of a possibility of loss, but gives
every reasonable promise of handsome
returns to stockholders.
Now, we want to impress upon the
minds of the citizens of Cartersville that
this company, which can be made the
means of aceoniplishing great things for
cur town, will not be a success unless it
receives more substantial encouragement
than some of than have given
it. If it fails it can only be attributed io
the lack of interest manifested by tl e n.
We again appeal to our people not to
sit with folded hands and delude them
selves, by every favorable indication,
into sanguine expectations or false hopes.
If you ]s*rsist in so doing you will prob
ably let pass an opportunity that will be
hard to recall. Remember that a few
men, however zealous they may be, can
not develope a great enterprise that must
directly or indirectly put money into
your pockets, without your sympathy
and aid. Its success dejtends largely
upon every man coming up to the full
measure of his strength in whatever way
he cun. Then, we venture the prediction,
that Cartersville will experience a boom
beyond the expectations of the most san
guine.
We have not written this in the light
of discouragement, on the contrary, we
believe Cartersville’s outlook was never
brighter, but to remind her citizens what
their duty is in the premises.
Joshua Baker, a Mormon elder, arrived
in Chicago the other day, accompanied
by three wives and eight children. He
was on his way to Alabama to preach
his creed, but the hard hearted Chicago
police thought he had too many wives
and so they arrested him on the charge
of bigamy and locked him up. He
doubtless wishes he had left his family at
home.
“ For Vice President—Grady.”
* We print elsewhere an editorial of the
New York Herald advising the Demo
cratic party to nominate “our Henry”
for Vice President in 1888.
We desire to second the suggestion.
If the “Solid South” does not demand
his nomination it will Is* proof conclusive
that indcisi “a prophet is not without
honor, save in his own country and in
his own house.”
Mr. Grady stands before the country as
the accepted representative and exponent
of the patriotism, the progress, the pres
cut and the future of the new South. W.
venture the opinion that he is the only
Southern man whose name would lend
any strength to the ticket in the doubtful
Northern stab's. His nomination would
Is* accepted by the country at large ns
an indorsement by the Sontlf of those
patriotic and statesmanlike utterances
which have already made his name fa
mous. Itwould silence the bloody-shirt or
ato s, whose hope is to revive, to some
extent, the lingering passions of the war.
As the foremost representative of h<r
peace, her patriotism and her progrt ss,
the new South would do well to present
his name and insist upon his nomination.
Such action would be the most conclus.ve
proof possible that we have quit the ruts
of fifty years ago to take to the asphalt
of the nineteenth century. How long
shall we hug the delusion that none but
the lean and slippered pantaloon must
fill high office? How long shull we pin
our faith alone to “lawyers?” Dehold
the certainty of their work in our inter
state commerce bill. Tennyson could
have done better.
When the verdict of the w hole country
is that Mr. Grady did more in twenty
minutes to establish a clear understand
ing of the condition, the attitude and the
purposes of the South than her whole
delegation in congress accomplished in
twenty years, it behooves us to consider
candidly whether such work does not
merit the eompletest recognition possible
for the South to return.
“Cleveland and Grady! It sounds
well. Suppose we nail that flag to the
masthead, and clear the decks for battle.
What say our brethren of the press?
RAISE HORSES.
The Macon Telegraph makes some sug
gestions to the farmers on the subject of
horse raising that are worth their con
sideration. It says:
Now that the planters of the south seem to have
token anew hope and enterprise they should pay
attention to a most important and profitable
industry. Every farmer cannot have a stock
farm, hut almost every farmer ean keep a brood
mare or two with advantage.
Within the last week sales of blood yearling's
have taken place at several points in Kentucky
and Tennessee. We append a couple of averages.

At one sale the Dwyer Brothers paid over six
thousand dollars for a yearling colt by Ten
Broeck. He may turn out to be worth less than
sixty dollars, but this will be the misfortune of
the purchasers, not the man who raised and sold
him. If, on the contrary, he should develop great
form, stamina and speed at his debut, he will be
worth sixty thousand, and will he safe to bag
more than a hundred thousand in stakes.
A colt of good pedigree, sixe and points that
can come to our state fair and run three-quarters
of a mile in his two-year-old form, with weights
up, 1:16, will sell for more than the cotton crop
of any farmer in Georgia. But all colts well
bred and well raised will command handsome
prices.
The days of divine worship in primi
tive buildings are not yet entirely passed.
The congregation of the Reformed church
of Campbell county, Dakota, has built a
church of sods, eighteen by tweenty fret
high. The roof is also made of sods,
which are laid on limbs of trees. Each
side has three windows, and a door at
one end. The walls inside are plastered
with a mixture made of clay and flax
straw, a plaster with which the Russians
of Dakota plaster their houses and stables
inside and out. The pews are made of
rough boards placed on blocks of mud,
and the pulpit is a one hundrad pound
coffee box, which serves as a platform,
and a few rough boards in the shape of a
desk. There is no floor in this church
except the virgin Hoil. On this church
there is still a small debt for windows and
doors. And during the winter just pass
sl the worshipers participated in all the
services, though a few blazing logs, the
heat from which was insufficient, furn
ished the only contrast to the biting
blasts of a northwestern winter. And as
regularly as the Sabbath comes the little
fioek assembles to a man, not a fair
weather Christian being known for miles
around.
E. W. Petts, a convict iu camp near
Albany, writes to the Principal Keeper oj
the Penitentiary giving a graphic his
tory, well written, of his life. He asserts
that he was once a highly esteemed cit
izen of Hall county, w ith a happy family,
but was led into crime by wicked meft,
who blighted his life and ruined his home.
He is very repentant and will reform
when he gets out. He suggested if liis
.sentence is commuted to four or live
years he will furnish evidence to capture
eleven long-term convicts, mentioning
their names, crimes, sentence and the
date of escape, and will further furnish
evidence to convict a dozen or more des
]>erate criminals who have never been
apprehended. Petts was convicted
under divers aliases iu Lumpkin county
in ISH4 for horse stealing, ami sentenced
to twelve years. He escaped last year
but was caught and four years were ad
ded to his sentence. Col. Towers will in
vestigate his proposition.
A syndicate composed of Evan Howell,
Henry Grady and others, of Atlanta, to
gether with James A. Benson, E. Y. Hill,
and (’apt. W. G. Cade, of Washington,
have purchased a tract of land consist
ing of HO or more acres from L. A.
Moore, which lies adjoining the Hillman
well. A pit has bet>n dug ou this preperty
and water found which is said to possess
all the alleged qualities of the Hillman
well. It is said that these gentlemen will
build a line hotel there, laying off a fine
driving park in the beautiful valley just
below the Hillman hill, and make other
mcessary improvements. The purchasers
a e not at present, however, quite
certain as to what they will do. There
is no question, however, of the fact that
the trade for the laud has been con
summated.
The New York Sun, in discussing the
country editor’s trials and tribulations,
says: “If country newspaper proprietors
were to publish the names of the sub
scribers who take, read and enjoy and
are gratified by, yet refuse to pay for
their home paper, the reputation of most
c immunities for moral honesty would
depreciate twenty per cent.

freedom from hereditary taint or humors to the

as milk crust, scall head, scarf or daudruff, sure
to develop into an ngoniring eczema, the itching,

prolonged torture unless properly treated.
A warm batli with Cuticuba Soap, an exquisite
Skin Beautlfler, aud a single application of Cuti
cuba, the Great Skin Cure, with a little Cuticuba,
Resolvent, the New Blood Purifier, is often
sufficient to arrest the progress of the disease,
and point to a speedy and permanent enre.
Your most valuable Cuticuba Remedies have
done my child so much good that I feel like say
ing this for the benefit of those who are troubled
with skin disease. My little girl was trouble-1
with Eczema, und 1 tried several doctors and
medicines, but did not do her any good until 1
used tlie Cuticuba Remedies, which speedily
cured her, for which I owe you many thanks and
many nights of rest.

Our oldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six mouths old, was attacked with a viru
lent, maligant skin disease. All ordinary reme
dies failing, we called our family physician, who
attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost
inerediale rapidity, until the lower portion of the
little fellow's person, from the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly, pain
ful, blotched, and malicious. We had no rest at
night, no peace b.v day. Finally, we were advised
to try the Cuticuba Bemedies, The effect was
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a com
plete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow s
person as white and healthy as though he huil
never been attacked. In mv opinion, your valu
able remedies saved his life, and to-day he Is a
strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition
of the disease having ever occurred.
