The Methodist Sunday School had its annual picnic at Gains A Lewis' mill on last Friday. It was well attended, and all returned after spending a most de lightful day. The many friends of Miss Mattie Brail ley are glad to see her home after an ab sence of some time in Florida; her broth er John is also 100 kin our midst. We give them a hearty welcome. Col. it. If. Cannon, at one time a lead ing citizen of this county, and who has many friends here, is up from Florida on a visit. His health is good, if apperanees are to be taken as a sign.

This week we windup the “Helen Lake man " serial, a story that has been read with intense interest by our readers. Next week we commence another entitled “Fare to Face.” a fact related in seven well told fables, by a very tine writer. Messrs. George Aubrey, and Charlie McEwen have formed a part ner. hip to handle coal the coining sea son. With such energetic men in charge there will hardly be any famine iu that necessary article next winter as was last. A prize of #I,OOO is to be awarded the county that makes the best .agricultural display at tin* state fair. With all the tine seasons just passed, and the way "truck" is hustling, what is the matter with old Bartow walking off with the prize? At Chicago the other day Sarah Bern hardt’s pet tiger, Minette, severely bit the hand of a waiter in a hotel. Sarah was very sorry—for the tiger, but soon regained her equanimity when she found that none of the animal's teeth were broken. Miss Kittle, a daughter of Mr. Thomas McGinnis, in the Seventeenth district died Saturday morning from injuries re ceived a year ago by being thrown from a horse. She was an excellent young lady and much beloved by the people of her community. The farther of Rev. Mr. Hillhonse, of this place, died at his home in Calhoun this week, lie was nn old citizen of Gordon county, and much respected and much loved for his many good qualities. Mr. Hillhonse has the sympathy of our whole people in his loss. “How does it hapjien that there are so many old maids among the school teach ers?" asked a reporter of a teacher the other day. “Because school teachers are, as a rule, women of sense; and no woman will give up a sixty dollar posi tion for a ten dollar man," was the reply. To show the popularity of Curry’s Diarrluea and Dysentery Specific. Mr. Curry has informed us that over a thous and bottles of it has been sold so far this season. Mr. L. B.

Mr. Bradley, together with his son Newton, have established and well fitted up shops oil West Main street and can turn out as good work as any body. They respectfully ask a share of tlie patronage in their line. Our city fathers having had our streets put in better condition, and this being the growing season, it behooves our citizens to turn their attention to the weeds and fennel upon the side walks in front of their resident lots. Let these be destroy ed before the <*ed matures and we can rid our town of them. Otherwise we may expect their annual coming.

Mr. Bishop was about seventy five years of age, and was a man of many fine qualities. He was well known throughout the country, aud was univer sally liked. In his death Bartow county loses an old aud respected citizen. The closing exercises of the Stilesboro Academy hist week were brilliant and were well attended by the Cartersville folks. We were promised a full report, but up to the time of going to press it had not put in an appearance. This re minds us of the fact that Stilesboro is not represented ip our couut.v corres pondence. There are a great many good jieoplc in that section from whom the Coukant-Amkrican and its readers would like to hear from every week. Who'll write? Several lazy clubs have been organized around the square lately. A report of some of the meetings would be highly in teresting, if the actions of a certain club the other day are to be taken as a sam ple. A. member was arraigned for work ing in the garden, and it was with the hardest work he kept from being fined, ami only then when he proved by a brother member that his wife was doing the work and he was simply “bossing" the job. Just as the club adjourned a blind nigger came along and asked for a drink of water, whereupon the president led him to the town pump near by, fol lowed by the whole gang, who proceeded to slake their thirst while the blind nig ger pumped.

Death of Alls* Bettie ( leghorn, Miss Bettie (’leghorn, aged about sev enteen years, died at the residence of her sister, Miss Lou ('leghorn, on Main street, at six o’clock yesterday morning, after a brief illness. The deceased was a (laugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. I). Cleghorn. A few weeks ago she was in the vigor and strength of young girlhood, but when her little brother was stricken with the fatal malady, from which he died a few days since, she became so constant and devoted in her attentions to his suffer ings as to exhaust her strength, and from which her last illness began. Miss Bettie was a young lady of beautiful character. Her life was one of simple pu rity and full of good deeds and splendid exemplifications of the teachings of her Master. Rv her gentle manners and sweet, amiable disposition she won the esteem and love of all her companions. Just blooming into womanhood, with a bright, intelligent mind, and many ad mirable qualities, hev’s promised to be a life of much usefulness. The funeral took place at the Metho dist church this morning, and were con ducted by Rev. W. H. Cooper, assisted by Rev. Mr. Timmons. The church was crowded with sorrowing friends to pay their last sad rite to her memory. The sermon was eloquent and impressive. One of the most touching features of the services was the mark of esteem and love shown by her former schoolmates, they all attending in a body. They occupied the middle pews in the church, and their sad faces and the tears that would till their eyes as the preacher dwelt upon her many virtues and her beautiful Christian life, was a more eloquent tribute to her memory than any eulogy from the lips of man could possibly be. The remains were interred at the fami ly burial ground, in the country. CRAVING FOR THE REMOVAL OF A COUNTY LINE GROCERY. Just in the edge of Cherokee county and abount 12 miles from Garters ville, is situated the whisky store of John AY heeler, who sells considerable of the fluid to peop’eofthesurrouudingcountry. It has been pronounced a nuisance by many of the good people of the immedi ate community and they have set about to do away with it. A petition to incor porate the County Line church has been industriously circulated and has received a good many signatures of the best peo ple of the community. The petition asks that whisky not be sold inside of four miles of the church. The petition, or at least the most salient points, read thus: “YVe, the undersigned, being the heads of families and owners of lands in, and adjacent to, the community known as County Line; and others, who are citi zens of said community, have recently organized a church and Sabbath school at County Line, in the 1041 dist., in said county, and near tin* line of Cherokee county, all in said state; and as there is a grocery or a place where whisky is sold in less than one and one-half miles of said church, and as there is much drink ing and carrying of whisky iu jugs through our neighborhood, together with all the vices and influences for evil which forever surrounds the doggeries, we find it impossible to counteract the evil done our church and our families — eternity alone can tell the evil effects of these baneful influences on our youths. We therefore, pray that our honorable legislature take such steps and enact such laws as they (the legislature) may deem proper to remove this curse from our community, and forever prohibit the establishment of such a nuisance nearer than four miles of our church. And we will ever pray the blessings of God upon you individually and collectively." Dog Ordinance. In obedience to an ordinance adopted by the mayor and aldermen of the City of Cartersville, on and after the Ist day of July, 1887, all dogs found at large in said city without a tag will be taken up and impounded and held for 48 hours, and if not claimed, cost paid and tag procured within that time, will be killed. Tags and collars can lie had by apply ing to the city marshal, upon payment of one dollar. Attend to this tiefore the Ist of July. J. 1). WILKEIiSON, June 15, 1887. City Marshal. THE CITY COURT. •Judge Neal Turning out Cases in a Hurry —An Interesting Case. The .Tunc term of the City rourt con vened last Wednesday. Judge J. M. Neel presiding. No time was lost in organ izing for business. The jury is composed of Geo. W. Head den, J. AV. L. Brown, J. P. Johnson. H. F. Jones, W. W. Cotton. W. B. Brook shire, S. C. Pritchard, Geo. W. Rogers. J. L. D.vsait. J. H. Gaines, Aaron Collins and Jno. W. Hill. The civil docket was first called and the following eases disposed of: C. C. Sorrels vs. T. C. Moore, complainant ; verdict for the -plaintiff for #97.20 lie sides interest. Baker A Hall vs. J. D. Murchison, complainant; verdict. #112.- .70 principal, #4.20 interest and #11.25 attorneys' fries. On Tuesday morning the following cases were tried: The state vs. James playing and betting. A demand having lieen entered of record in this case at a former term of the court, and the defendant being ready for trial and the state not ready, it was ordered by the court that the defendant lie dis charged. The state vs. Joe Clarke, charged with playing and lietting; the state lieiiig ready iu this case a demand was taken. W. A. Gillum vs. Nellie Wool ley, complainant ; verdict for plaintiff for #22.70 principal, besides interest and attorneys’ fees. The next case called was that of Mm. F. ('. Memmler vs. W. W. Roberts, sher iff. This ease is jierhaps the most im portant one of the term, made so espe cially beenuse it involved a very nice le gal question. The suit was for three hundred and seventy dollars. The case arose in about this way: It appears that at the term 1H8 —, of the old county court. Dr. Memmler, husband of the plaintiff, was arraigned upon the charge of wife-beating, tried and con victed, whereupon the.court sentenced him to u fine of three hundred aud sev enty dollars, or in default thereof to serve at hard labor in the chainguug for the space of twelve months. The defend ant’s counsel carried the case through the projier channel until it finally reach ed the Supreme court. There the case was carefully reviewed, and the judgment of the court below was affirmed. The defendant’s last hope was in a petition to the governor asking pardon. Imme- diately after the decision of the Supreme court, the defendant became a prisoner in the hands of the sheriff, whose duty it was to execute this sentence of the court, to either collect the fine or enforce its al ternative. On the 20th of January, 1886, while the petition for pardon was being considered by the governor, the defend ant, rather than be imprisoned, paid to the sheriff the full amount of the fine (#•470), taking from him a receipt stipu lating that the money was being paid by his wife: and, further, that in the event of a pardon, the said amount was to be returned to Mrs. Memmler. On the eve ning of the 20th the fact of the gover nor's refusal to interfere was telegraphed to defendant’s counsel. That night the defendant died very suddenly. The money thus paid to Mr. Roberts as slier iff is the amount for which this suit was brought to recover. The plaintiff bases her right to recover upon the ground that the wife cannot be made responsible for the husband’s debts. Mr. Roberts’ counsel moved to dismiss the case be cause it was brought against individ uals, and the evidence showed that he received the money as an officer of the law. This motion the court overruled. The further point was made by defend ant's, that this was not a debt, but a penalty imposed by the law, for which the wife could be responsible, and pay ment of which would preclude any right of recovery. The case was ably argued by Col. E. D. Graham and Maj, AY. I. Heyward for tho defendant and John AV'. Akin, Esq., for the plaintiff. A epdict was rendered In favor of the plaintiff for #.470, with interest at seven per cent, from January, 1886. Of course, this case will not stop short of the Supreme court, where this important question will be settled. In the case of the state vs. Samuel Jones, assault and battery; verdict, not guilty. Baker A Ilall vs. A r . AW Davis, com plaint; verdict for plaintiff for #6O prin cipal, besides interest, cost and attor neys’ fees. Baker A Hall vs. John A. Goodson, complaint; verdict for plaintiff for #27, besides interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. Baker A Hall vs. John H. AValdrup; c omplaint; verdict for plaintiff for #16.70 besides interest and cost. Baker A Hall vs. AY. F. Alford; com plaint; verdict for plaintiff for #3l, be rides interest, cost and attorneys’ fees. J. B. Conyers vs. J. J. Findley, com plaint; verdict for the plaintiff for #267, besides interest and cost. \\\ A. Giilam vs. F. A. Elrod; com plaint; verdict for plaintiff for #217.77, besides interest and cost. The state vs. Ed Henderson; misde meanor; violating the prohibition laws: verdict, not guilty. <*• The state vs. L. C. Rainey, principal, and AA r . B. AN'. Leake, security; forfeiture of bond. The state vs. Dan Ray; misdemeanor; selling whisky; plea of guilty; sentenced to pay a line of #100; or, in default there of, to serve for the space of twelve months lit hard labor in the chaingang. The state vs. Samuel Jones, misde meanor; using obscene language iu the presence of females; verdict, guilty; sen tenced to pay a flue of #7O; or, iu default thereof, to serve at hard labor in the chaingang for the space of three months. One of the most important cases tried at this term of the court was that of Thos. N. Fulton vs. the Phoenix Fire In surance Company. The plaintiff was Only represented by Col. J. A. Baker, and Ihe defendants by Jno. C. Reed, of Atlan ta. The case consumed the greater por tion of yesterday iu its trial. The jury I'eturned a verdict at 4 o’clock for the jdaiutiff for #I.OOO principal and #22.40 interest, besides cost. This is the amount sued for. Judge Neel, as usual, has been pushing business, a number of cases ha ving been disposed of. The court adjouruod at noon to-day. 10 Reward.

Sims, a former citizen of this county, and who is a mem ber of the saw mill firm of Sims A Auchmuty, near Cedartown, discharged a negro from his employ. On the even ing of tin* day of the discharge the fami ly of Mr. Sims became sick, save Mrs. Sims. It was thought that poison was pat in the water bucket and some of this water was used in making coffee for the evening meal. As Mrs. Sims did not drink any coffee? or water it was from this fact that she eecaped. Upon investigation it was found that the servant that brought the water had stopped on the way from the well at a tenant shanty where the dis charged mill hand, Dave AA'hatley, was visiting, and it is thought that lie there put poison in the bucket. He had been heard to make threats by several against Air. Sims, but was not arrested. Last Sunday morning the mill was dis covered to lie on fire, aud before Mr. Sims could reach the mill, it was past control The same negro is suspected, and he and his whole family are under arrest, and the preliminary trial was set for Tuesday. Facts, as near as can be ascertained, are these: The negro was working at the mill and wanted to leave for a day, but they would not release him unless la* got a man in his place. He left anyway, and they, having to stop the mill till another hand could be em ployed, discharged the negro. He made threats of waylaying Mr. Sims between the depo£ and mill. Shortly after that the whole family, consisting of eight per sons, were poisoned. The negro left v/hen discharged and returned the day of the poisoning. He then left and was not seen in the neighborhood till the day of the burning. AA’hile the family were suf fering from the effects of the poisoning the mother of Dave AA'hatley told some of her neighbors that if they recovered they would burn them out. The threats of the negro and his mother, together with the appearance of the negro at the time the deeds were done, with other evi dence, will fasten the crime on him and all the family. One instance of the evi dence was that the evening before they bought oil at the commissary of the the mill, and the mother says if her son bought it he did not bring it home. It seems as if J>e AA’hatley family have de termined to exterminate Mr. Sims and his family. Close of the Presbyterian Meeting; The meeting at the Presbyterian church ceased last night. From the very commencement of these services, the interest upon the part of. the people has been earnest, and perhaps no previous meeting held at any of the churches, ac complished more real good in touching and awakning the hearts and consciences. Dr. Bachman has preached at nearly every service, and his plain practical discourses have had wonderful effect in causing a deeper interest in religion, not only upon those without the pale of the church, but those on the inside, l lis forcible yet plain and simple expositions of the truths, as they are, have made many lasting impressions. A number have been brought from the paths of darkness into light, and all of our churches have been quickened and stimulated. On last Sunday morning, his sermon to men only, was a grand effort. The church was crowded and every word he uttered fell upon an attentive and inter ested congregation. Many a stout heart was softened and stirred by the almost irresi,stable appeals of this man of God. The closing service last night was largely attended, the church being crowded to overflowing. The sermon was a strong one and the services throughout im iiressi ve. A Dangerous Disease. Out in the Bishop neighborhood there is a disease similar to dysentery that is raging fearfully and seems to be an epi demic. Mr. Dempsey Bishop, an old gen tleman well known here, having been one of the first settlers of the county died and was buried Thursday afternoon. Two of his grand children had preceded him only a few days before, djir.g of the same disease, His son Thomas Bishop is now very sick. Miss Bettie Cleghorn, who died yesterday morning, was taken siek in that neighborhood and was brought into town for better treatment and attention. There seems to be a dreadful fatality in that neighborhood and is creating considerable alarm. “Fido” and “Carlo” Must Pay for His Howling.
