The proceedings of the Sunday School Convention of the Middle Cherokee As sociation, lately assembled at this place, appears on our first piige. 1 lie matter was intended for our last issue but came in too late. If the fellow that stole our lye pot will come and get the brush lie will be in a fair wav to get the cleaning up that ho no doubt needs. It is a hard-hearted fiend that would steal the lye pot from a country printing office. Two engines on the W estern and At lantic road attempted to pass each oth er on the same track, at McDaniel sta tion, last Saturday. The usual result followed. Doth engines were lauily wmast ed up. Nobody hurt. A dreamy writer says it would be curious to follow a pound of Bilk fn>m its spinning until it becomes a ladies dress, No doubt, but most men would prefer to follow it after it become a dress and while the lady was in it.

The large gate that To Sunday School Superintendent*. A’our attention is called to the notice from the Executive Committee of the Sunday School Association, which ap pears in another column. Please com mence in your schools such preparatory work as you may deem necessary to en sure a full attendance and creditable ex ercise on the occasion referred to.

Warren Akin, County Superintendent. has heretofore been at the steep and dan gerous incline has been moved further down and a smooth rood has been graded. Along with the other young crops, the gross is getting there with a rush. Ihe farmers are waging a vigorous warfare against “General Green. It is asort of a hand to hand tilt, and a free for all light. The farmers at the last account were on top. In the account of the Stegall's sale last week the printer accidentally measured off lots 75x90 feet when they should have been 75x195. There seems to lie a dis pute as to the number of lots sold, some Haying that 10 was the number while others say 12. Holman, the Dalton murderer, has been respited. He has l**en laboring under the idea that he will not be hung, con sequently has not made any prepara tions to" die. A short respite has been given him in which to make his jieace with his God. The closing exercises of the Stilesboro Institute will occur to-morrow (Friday) night. We acknowledge the receipt of an ‘invitation from the clever and effi cient principal, Prof. Etheridge.

Every office is to be filled then, and it is presumed that everybody will run for something. By the way, it Is Bartow’s time to furnish the state sen ator for this district. Mrs. John Williams, of Acworth, was struck by lightning yesterday afternoon and instantly killed. She was taking in some clothing at the time. Mrs. Lemon was also stunned. The deceased was an excellent lady, and her sudden ami shock ing death hus cast the town into the deepest gloom. When the streets of Cartersville are well worked, the traveling public can iic complish their respective journeys with more safety and ease, for it is anything but ease to l>e suddenly dropped into a ditch 2,000 feet deep and be hauled up by means of a derrick. Such proceedings al ways insures small church congregations. We suggest to the authorities that a splendid means of getting rid of the dogfennel would be to have it cut down before the seed mature. It is spreading every year, and will continue to do so as long as the seed are left to ripen and bo scattered throughout the town by every breeze. In our last issue we inadvertently failed to notice the death of a former townsman. Col. J. W. Pritchett died at his home iu Atlanta on Saturday night, the 28th lilt., and his remains were brought here for interment the following day. Col. Pritchett was a gallant soldier ami clever gentleman who had many friends in this section. Of late years he had been con ducting a successful law business in At lanta. About the happiest man in all Georgia, is Editor Chapman, who passed down the road this morning with his bride of a few hours. He was married to Miss Niua Boaz, of Calhoun, this morning, and they were on their way to Talbotton on a kind of double-leaded bridal tour. Chapman looked as happy ns if he had just received a double column advertise ment, paid for in advance. Good luck, old fellow. George Briant, who went to Rome with scarcely nothing and is now worth in the neighborhood of SBO,OOO, is going to move to Chattanooga, and has made application for store room. As straws show which way the wind blows, this might be taken as a good sigu that pro hibition will prevail in Floyd county at the election in July.

Five Hamby brothers have severally taken the five Starnes sis ters into wedlock.

So lie walked over and married the widow llaniby, the mother of the five boys. The feather men are working up this county handsomely, and we venture the assertion that the majority of our people sleep I letter at night than any on the globe, all on account of the thorough wav Messrs. Rankin & Cos. have reno vated their feather beds. These gentle meu will turn their attention to the feath ers of Kingston in a day or so, and it goes without saying that they will make them fly. In the midst of a heavy run of work last week one of the Cou hant-American force became very sick and had to take his bed. This is one time we had an op portunity to try the efficacy of Curry s Diarrhoea and Dysentery Specific. A few doses were given the workman aud he re ported for duty in a few hours. It is truly a great remedy and a bottle should be kept in every household. The hospitable home of Capt. Tom Lyon has been made a scene of much pleasure this week by a visit from Miss Lula Goldsmith, a beautiful young lady of Meridian, Miss., Miss Maude Gold smith, of Atlanta, and Mrs. Cora M. Gray, of Adairsvillc. The Captain and his clever lady are happy over the antici pation of another visit from the young ladies of greater length during the coin ing summer, when au elegaut party will be given them. The rnauv friends of Rev. F. M. Daniel will be gratified to know of his great suc cess in his work at Griffin, Ga. In a meeting recently closed sixty new mem bers were added to the church, making a total of about one hundred that have come in since his pastorate began there. As an evidence of their appreciation of his labors, and with a view to further fa cilitate his work, his brethren have re cently presented him with a fine horse, bridle aud saddle. Rev. Sam Jones returned from Tennes see Tuesday morning, where he has just delivered several prohibition speeches. lJe will leave for Kansas next Saturday, where he will remain four or five days be fore siiending twelve days at a camp meeting at Red Rock, Minn. He will also soon deliver the commencement address at Pierce s Business College, in 1 hiladel phia. Probably one of the most pleasant engagements Mr. Jones will fill tins sea son will lie at the camp-meeting at New castle, Ky., the old home of Mrs. Jones. Mr. Jones will make a few more speeches in Tennessee before the election in Sep tember, and lie is hopeful that the state will be carried for prohibition. Veare glad to notice the fine health of our dis tinguished fellow-citizen, which news will be also gratifying to his thousands of friends throughout the country. We have got a nice assort ment of V\ ash Dress Goods in Seersucker, Lawns, Mus lins, Ginghams, Chambrays, etc., and we want .to sell them to you and we are go ing to do it if prices are au obejet with you.

The city council met at their chambers Tut?sday night with Mayor Wikle in the chair and the following aldermen present: Aaron Collins, John Crawford. Gerald Griffin, A. C. Williams. Jack Collins, George H. Gilreath and John Hilburn. The minutes of former meeting read and confirmed. On motion of Mr. Griffin it was re solved that during the summer months the city council will meet at 4 o'clock iu the afternoon on the first Tuesday in every month instead at night. Mr. Griffin also carried a motion to the effect that hereafter all accounts against the city must be prepared and handed to a member of the financial committee liefore noon on the day of meeting or else if not presented iu time it will be carried over to the following meetiug. Mr. Gilreath complained that he saw no revenues derived from the public scales, stated that tin* city was pat to consider able expense in keeping them in repair and wanted to know why some revenue did not come in, as he hud noticed par ties weighing ores etc. on them. Marshall Wilkerson stated for the ben efit of the council that the ore men were allowed to weigh on the scales at a cer tain amount ]>er car; that the number of cars were generally learned from the books of the railroad and accounts presented; stated that several accounts were unpaid. On motion oT Mr. A. Col lins the marshal was instructed to get up the accounts aud present them for payment. It was ordered that 150 cop pies of re vised ordinances and laws Is? printed for public distribution. The ordnance com mittee will go to work at once revising them aud put in hands of printer. The question of appointing city asses sorscame up, as also the assessment of city property. It was first ordered that this question be set for a special setting of the body for next Monday but the time was changed to yesterday after noon. Pending the discussion of the question, several of the body participat ed in a discussion as to how much ad vance was to be made on the value of city property. Mr. Griffin thought that property had advanced some in value and should be assessed accordingly, while Mr. Gilreath thought that there were many people in the community who were of the opinion that property was not now worth any more than last year. John Hilburn made an oratorical to the effect that so far as the boom had struck town and jieople were holding property at booming figures, lie was in favor of appointing boomers for tax assessors. Vlr Hilburn is somewhat of a boomer himself. Marshal Wilkerson reported that there were about eighty street tax defaulters; that they'had been served with notices to appear with pick and shovel. The time set for the hearing of excuses from the same; they to appear before the city council, sitting as road commissioners, was the 15th of the present month. In the meantime defaulters can pay their street tax and be receipted therefor without extra cost. The dog question has struck the city council but the discussion was postponed until yesterday at which time an ordnance was to be ready to be‘pre sented to the body. A Mr. Williamson had a difficulty with his brother-in-law, Mullins, and was fined $3.50. Wiliamson was before the body asking for time in which to make the payment. It was ordered that the time be extended until the 20th inst. Mr. Aaron Collins, chairman of the street eommittue, reported that cemetery end of Erwin street was in a precarious condition,that is wasextemelv dangerous and asked some instructions from the body in the matter, as a building of a sewer the entire length of the large ditch there, would cost considerable money. He knew no remedy for the difficulty only to cut a large ditch to intersect with the railroad ditch in rear of W. R. Sadler’s lot. The matter was reffered to street committee with instructions to move iu the matter at once. It at last looks like that this most dangerous place is to be done away with. It ruius one of the prettiest streets of the town besides making the town in a good place to get a damage suit on her hands. It has long been an eye sore and its doing away with will be gladly welcomed by our people. The council adjourned to meet yester day afternoon at 4 o’clock. yesterday’s meeting. The city council met at the appointed time. No action was taken as to dogs, only to postpone the discussion of the matter until the 15th inst. Probably a tax will be levied on canines in this com munity. Messrs. M.L. Pritchett and J.C. Milam were elected city tax assessors. To the Eddie* of Cartersville. If you have an old Sewing Machine that is giving you any trouble, don’t worry over it and trade it off for anew one, but send it to me and I will guaran -I:ee to make it equal to anew machine iu doing its work.

Neel, sq., graduated at the law department of Georgetown University last week, taking the first honor aud the first prize, amounting to $ 100 in gold. This announcement will be a source of genu ine pleasure to his numerous admirers aud friends throughout this section. To lead the class of 1887 in this most splend id school is no small achievement. In it were representatives from nearly every state aud territory in the Union, and it was unquestionably one of the best av erage law classes in the country, com posed of young men of culture and intel ligence, all giving promise of distinction in the ranks of the honorable profession which they have chosen. The following is Mr. Neel's general av erage for the year: Contracts 98.43; Ecquity 100; Evidence 99.15; Notes and bills 97.33; Pleading 94.25; Practice 98.30; Real Estate 99, making a general average of 98.07, which is unusually fine, showing au earnest, industrious applica tion.

Well grounded in subtle the legalprinciples of the law and accomplished in its ethics and modes of procedure, and with his fine na tive powers his future opens up with bright promises. His friends predict for him a a brilliant career. Go to Wikle’s drug store and get fruit jars and put up berries, as there will lie scarcely any peaches in this section.

Quite a large number from our neigh borhood attended the protracted meet ing at the Presbyterian church of your city Sunday. Mr. W. E. Quiilian, son of B. B. Quil liun, of Atlanta, occompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Sellars, visited relatives here during the week. Chas. and Will Schulte placed a gun in their corn crib for a thief who had lieen stealing corn. They arranged it so that when the thief put his hand through the crack to get corn, a string would pull the trigger. The gun remained in that position for ten days. One night last week some one attempted to get them some more of the coveted corn, when they received a small load in their urm. The wound did not prevent their gettiug away. Mr. Schulte has not missed any corn since. He has been unable to as certain who the thief was. W. C. W. GRASSDALE. We have had a fine season. Have not plowed a furrow for one week.

Grassdale is all excitement over the unexpected announcement that one of our most popular boys has taken unto himself a better-half. On Thursday night last, at Marietta, by the Rev. Sam Tuinlin, Mr. Murray Hawkins and Mies Daisy Cox were married. In behalf of the Grassdale people I extend to the happy pair our most hearty cougrutula tious aud hope for them a long aud hap py life together. May no chilling frost ever come to nip this beautiful Daisy which Murray has been so fortunate to get as his own, and may it grow brighter and more attractive as it grows older. The young lady may consider herself one of the most fortunate in the matrimonial drawing. Had she sought far aid near she could not have found a kinder and bigger hearted partner, nor one that will strive harder to please and make her life a happy one. There is one great pleasure she will be deprived of, one which has given others a great deal of satisfaction (I speak knowingly) that is, no hair to pull on the top of his head. Oh! Murray, thou art a most fortunate man. Croktox. m ♦ Cologne* in great variety at Wikle’s drug ore (Cuiry'n late stand) at bottom prices.

The great number of mad dogs that have been killed recently are causing our people to think seriously of some reme dy. Last Saturday afternoon, Tom Williams, who lives with his father, near the Deweese bridge, came near being bit ten by a dog showing unmistakable evi dences of hydrophobia. The dog came “lopiug” down the road and when Mr. Williams’ dog ran to the fence, Tommie went out and was leaning on the fence when the outraged dog flew at him over the fence, but was knocked down with a heavy stick. Tommie ran to the house and secured a shot gun, and he together with a gentleman followed the dog down the road towards Stegall’s, lie was overtaken and dispatched. No one knows the dog and from appearances must have been running for some time. A dog law is badly needed, aud the justly alarmed people are clamoring for one. A few weeks ago a worthy mechanic of Thomusville was bitten by a worthless flee and died from the effects, and imme diately the town turned out and com menced killing dogs. It remains to be seen if our people will wait until some one is bitten before measures are taken. Public School Teachers. 1 will examine applicants to teach In the Pub lic Schools on Saturday.

Farmers you will save money by calling on Glenn Jones. We Mast Have a Fire Engine. Our article of last week caused many to think of the danger that is in store for our town. That we need a fire en gine no one disputes but it seems a slow matter to get a live party to put the ball in motion. Two of our well-known citizens could easily secure subscriptions from our merchants and property hold ers, and what is lacking the ladies of Cartersville would cheerfully assist in raising.. They are us much interested iu the protection of our homes and prop erty as anybody, and when the time comes we will wager that the ladies will do more than their share. Now let some of our live business men start the ball in motion aud give the town a thorough canVassiug on the matter. In insurance alone the cost of a fire engine and cisterns can ba saved iu a short time, and it is nothing but the veriest business economy for our merchants to take a lively interest in the matter. Let us have an engine and cisterns. A Falsb Notion Prevails with many married ladies that to nurse their own babies is alwas desir able.
