(Mir county correspondents, like every body els*>, have succumbed to the hot wave. There is no pleasure or protit in doing anything just now. The fin* l work of the street force on Erwin street leading to the cemetery is highly pleasing to our people. It is an improvement of decided importance. The presentment* of Just week's grand jury w ill Is* found on the first puge, and will be rend witii interest by those that Lim‘P up w ith the affairs of the county. In th*. l bright lexicon of youth there is no such word ns fail, but later on, when the youth gets into business for himself, then the word shows up in good shape. Kev. Mr. Timmons will preach at the Methodist church next Sunday, taking as his subject, ‘‘Christ our Pattern,” which no doubt will lie a fine effort and enjoyed by all w ho hear him. The correspondent of the Macon Tele graph at this place, writes that paper that Sam Jackson, brother of Tobe, lost a leg in Tennessee last week by being run over by a train. “Fritz” Strickland is engaged in writ ing an epic on the prevailing summer solstice and would have finished it in time for this week’s issue if the Hying jenny hadn’t arrived. Mrs. Elias Skanall, of Louisiana, a sister of our clever young friend “Dock” t unyiis, arrived Sunday with her husband and children and willspend several week’s w ith relatives in the country.

Cartersville society is just now enliv ened by the presence of Misses Fannie and Minnie Baldwin, daughters of Judge Baldwin, of Madison. They an* most pleasant young ladies and it is liofted they will enjoy a pleasant sojourn with us. They are stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Pattillo. The commendable efforts of Wylie Bridges to keep our people cool during the prevailing hot sjiell should meet with a hearty patronage. He has rented tile ice house on the depot platform at great expense and keeps a large lot of ice on hand at all times. Ice is simply in dis|leasable these times. W. F. Stephens was admitted to the bar lust Saturday. He has been study ing in the otfico of Judge .1. M. Nee! for some time.

Dobbs, who lives on the northern border of town, died Saturday night after a long and painful illness. She was a most estimable lady and devout Christian, fond mother and dutiful wife, whose pres ence will le sadly missed. Her remains were followed to their last resting place Sunday afternoon by a large concourse of mourning fviemls and relatives. At conference of the congregation of t lie Methodist church, last Sunday morn ing, a month's vacation was voted to (In* pastor, llev. B. E. L. Timmons. This is a deserved rest to a faithful and ener getic servant. Mr. Timmons will proba bly not take his vacation until August, when lie will likely sjiend a couple of weeks of the time at Round Lake, X. Y. A few young gentlemen will take a cruise down the placid Etowah and sub lime Coosa rivers shortly to Mobile bay. A twenty-foot bout is now lieing built and will be ready in a few days, in which a small engine and screw profiler will le placed. Henry and Hamp Stiles, Harry and Harris Hull, and possibly one or two others, will be in the party, and it is proposed to return by rail. It will Vs* a pleasant trip and the boys will no doubt have a fine time. THE EAST AND WEST. Its Office# arc Moved to Cartersville, and the Machine Shops Kemaiu in Cedartown. For some time it lias been rumored that the East and West Hail rood antici pated the removal of their offto-s from O dartown to this place, but no divided in formation could be ha*l for the benefit of the inquiring public. Nothing positive was known until a carload of desks, office furniture, etc., hod lwen dumped on the depot platform last Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. This furniture has Isen placed in position in the elegant rooms over the depot proper, and it can now be safely said that the general offices of the East ami West railroad of Ala bama are now located in Cartersville. It looks very much that way, and if neces sary for the benefit of a certain newspa ]**r man out on the line, we’ll swear to it. The offices are here and no mistake about it. In the removal of these offices to this place the management only looked to the liewt interests of the road, and think that Cartersville is the point where its in terests can be better looked after. The machinery department, under charge of clever Charlie West, remains at Cedar town. Upon the part of our people we wel come the clever coterie of gentlemen that compose the force, to our pleasant little city, and hope for them and their plucky road the full measurement of success. Mr. J. J. Calhoun, the gentleman in charge, is an old citizen of the county and is already well know n, and his re turn to live with us is looked forward to in pleasant anticipation. He will most likely move his family here in a very short time and will probably occupy one of the most pleasant homes in town. The Colonel and his interesting family will I>c quite an accession to Cartersville society. Mr. I’urse, the book keeper and audi tor, is a Savannah gentleman, who has but recently became connected with the road. He; with family, is boarding with Mrs. Memmler; on Market'street. He is an excellent gentleman of thorough bus ness qualifications and the road is fortu nate in securing his efficient services. His father, Col. Thomas Purse, was the first sui*erintendent the Central railroad of Georgia, and it was he who first inaugurated the time table, before he got up a schedule, trains were made to run a trip and return to headquarters before another one would be let out on the line. Col. Purs*} conceived the idea of arranging schedules for two or more trains, when the engineers and train hands struck and would not go out on (lie line until strongly importuned by the president of the road. The average reader have no idea how a time table is so arranged that scores of trains on every schedule can run up to a station to a minute and knows w here it is to side truck and wait for another. The time chart in the East and West offices shows how this is done and is quite a study for the curious. Mr. George Cobb is in the office. He was formerly yard master at this place. He is fin excellent gentleman and a handy one at figures. Master of transportation, Sanford Vnndivere, has had his office here some time and lie was happy enough when the train rolled in with the balance of “the boys.” Track laying on the extension has been progressing very favorably and the road will soon be finished to Pi'll city, (named for the president of the road.) Here it will connect with the I’alladega and Coosa Valley road. (’apt Postell is in New York. His many friends in the community welcome his advent into our midst. A BL MOlf. A sensational rumor to the effect that the Rome & Decatur road has bought the Rome R. It. was out yesterday. Atlanta and Home papers this morning have nothing to say of it. The Home Hail road stockholders held their regular an nual meeting yesterday, electing the *>l*l officers, and probaly this fact gave birth to the sensational rumor. Railroad ru mors are very uncertain these days any how. The Grand Jury Alter the Boomers. The grand jury last week got after some of our whooping boomers with a sharp stick. There was quite a discrep ancy between the figures of some prop erty that were held at and the figures given in to the tax receiver. The grand jury was after thsse discrepances and from the way they improved property, or at least the price of it, was enough to dazzle the eyes of the most energetic cor ner lot speculator. Prices were “bulled,” so to speak. Lots of land, known to have concealed beneath its unpretentious looking stones and rubbish, princely manganese banks, and given in by the ow ner at a figure about what the rub bish would bring, wen? sized up in a min eral poiat of view and assessed accord ingly. People, next to beating a rail road, had rather beat their own native state and county than anybody. A few mine owners throughout the county will be somewhat surprised at the amount of tax they w ill have to pay this fall. One man who owns a lot that he bought a few months ago fbr $l2O, refused SB,OOO for the mineral right on it alone. He gave this valuable piece of property in at the price he gave for it, $l2O, but the grand jury changed it con siderably. In their presentments the jury complains that a great many have given in their tax too low and presented several parties engaging in such busi ness. Several members of the jury were in favor of asking the judge for the ap pointment of tax assessors for the coun ty, and no doubt this question will be considerably agitated in the near future. Mr. Jones’ Movements. llev. Sam Jones and his estimable wife arrived last Saturday morning from Newcastle, Iv.v., w here the balance of the family is now sojourning with the moth er of Mrs. Jones. They left again Mon day night for a long visit north, Mrs. Jones going direct to Newcastle while Mr. Jones takes in the Ijikc Side (0.) campmeeting, and fills engagements at Cincinnati, Chatauqua, X. V., and other places, lie will, with his family, be at Hound Lake, one of the loveliest spots oil the universe, situated ia New York, from Aug. 13th to the 23d, where a campmeeting of large proportions is to be held. Mr. Jones will remain away on the present trip some six weeks aud will visit numerous points in the north and north west. His health, as tvell as that of his entire family, is as good as can be. Court Pr*jc<}*xl ing The second wi-ek of Bartow Superior Court convened at 10 o’clock hist Mon day, Judge Fain presiding. There being no grand juries to charge, the traverse juries weir soon organized, and the court ready for business. The first case called was that of Emsley Stegall vs. Thomas 1L Baker. This case was quite lengthy, involving some important legal points. Its trial lasted until Tuesday evening, and result ed in a verdict for the plaintiff for SOOO. The cases plai-ed upon the boards for trial this week,stand in their order as follows: Monday, July IH—Emsley Stegall vs. Thos II Baker; Thos H Raker vs. Ems ley Stegall; J B Humphries vs. E B Hol combe.

NOTES. Judge C. 1). McCutehen is present at this term of court. Col. W. K. Moore, of Dalton, is sweat ing it out with his brother Attaway this week. One of the stoves in the court room has been removed, and Ab Baker now manages his cases with a great deal more satisfaction. Col. W. R. Rankin, one of Gordon county's most popular sous, and a splen did lawyer-legislator, was in attendance upon court last week. It. M. Hodges, Esq., <u prominent at torney from Ilawkinsville, assisted Judge Neel us counsel for the plaintiff in the case of Hodges vs. Crawford. An unusual amount of business was dispatched in court last week. About sixty cases were tried and cleared from the dockets. Notwithstanding the op pressive heat, Judge Fain pushed tilings in a vigorous manner, and permitted the loss of no unnecessary discussions or wrangles. The same zeal and energy is being put into this week’s business, and the trial of cases is being rapidly pushed. It will be a source of gratifica tion to our people to know that our Su perior dockets are fast being cleared, and before a great while, no business will be carried over from one term to another, without cause. With Judge Fain's de termination to hasten the trial of cases, and the assistance of the City Court, Bartow county will soon be annoyed as little with long and expensive terms of court as any county in the state of equal size and business importance. It is the approach of a happy state of affairs, and the jieople should, and do, rejoice at it. Judge Fain ordered the re-opening of the windows fronting the W. & A. R. R., and the court room looks less like a dun geon, and is decidedly more comfortable. No of men deserve more sympathy these hot days, than the wilting jurors, who sit under the blistering, dripping eloquence of the jirolix attorneys. But the jioor fellow s are patient und long-suf fering. The grand jury of last week returned their presentments Saturday morning. They presented some of our largest prop erty owners for making false returns. There will be a grand jury for next week. Mercury stands so high in the court room this week, that the stiff collar and immaculate shirt front wilt in his jires ence. The ease of the state vs John Hender son. sinqile larceny, was tried yesterday; verdict guilty in on*} case and a jilea of guilty in another. John is the negro ar rested in Atlanta some months ago, charged with stealing several horses. The offenses for which lie was arrested was for stealing a couple of horses last April—one belonging to Ben Akerman and one to George lleadden, ofCassville. In the first ease the defendant was sen tenced to twenty years’ hard labor in the jienitentiary; in thesecond, where a plea of guilty was entered, fifteen years were allowed. The defendant took his sen tence very coolly, and betrayed no emo tion. The call of the criminal docket w ill be continued until it has been cleared. COL. FRANK J. TAYLOR DEAD. Hk Dies in Cincinnati at Three O'clock this Morning. Probably no announcement will cause more surprise than the one made in the above headlines. The follow ing telegram was received at 11:80, just before closing our “forms" for the prees: Cincinnati, .lul.v 21, ISS7. Coubaxt-American : Col. Frank J. Taylor died this 3 a. m. at Palace Hotel. M. J. Maxwell. There were no particulars. The deesased has many friends ia this community, he having for a few months been connected with the Cocuant before its consolidation with the American. He has been for the past several months private secretary to Rev. Sam Jones. He has been spending the past few weeks with a sister in Virginia. He was a talented young man aud made a friend of every one lie met. He has been connected with some of the best journals of the country, and the an nouncement of his death will Im* read with regret. We will endeavor to give full particulars next week. Seventy-five eases of School Supplies just received at Wikle’s Book Store. Low cash prices. PIF. DM< >NT F.XPOSITION. Bartow County Committee llolil* an In teresting Meeting—Col. •!. F. Hanson to Bjeak on the Tariff. Pursuant to adjournment, Bartow's committee appointed to arrange exhibits for the Piedmont fare, met at the council chamber, at 10 o'clock, Saturday morn ing. Representative men from various sections of the county were present, full of enthusiasm over the prospects of Geor gia's banner county making a grand dis play of her varied and wouderlnl re sources at the ex position in Octolier. Mr. It. M. Pattillo, the committee chairman, was present, and presided over the meeting. The members present made encouraging reports. They are meeting with much success in enlisting the hearty co-ojieratlon of the citizens gen erally. Some complaint was made, how - ever, that a few gentlemen appointed on the committee were uot interesting them selves as they should. This ought not to be the case. We ai*e all alike interest ed in this matter, and there should be undivided, harmonious, energetic effort ujion the part of our entire peojile to give Bartow county’s advantages and resources a full anil fair exhibit. It can not fail to result in great material good to every interest in the county. It is a matter in which we are all alike inter ested, and we will all reaj* any benefits that may accrue therefrom. A resolution was passed requesting every member of the committee to can vass his immediate vicinity for exhibits in farm products, minerals and timbers of various kinds, und to make a report of his progress at the meeting of the committee to be held on Saturday, 30th inst. Parties having articles which they de sire to place on exhibition, will leave them with Mr. G. 11. Aubrey, the secre tary,* who will properly accredit and store them. Every exhibitor will have his name attached to the article exhib ited and receive full credit therefor. The meeting called for Saturday, July 30th, will be one of the most interesting yet held, and it is important that as many, not only of the committee, but of the citizens generally, should be there. Talks w ill be made by some prominent gentlemen, and Maj. J. F. Hanson, of Macon, has been and will be jiresent, and deliver sin address on the tariff. Maj. Hanson is perhaps the best jiosted man in the state on this impor tant question. He has given the points involved much study, and discusses them from solely a business standpoint. While not a politician nor a candidate for any office, yet he is a fine speaker, and his speeches ujion this subject are said to be masterly efforts. This is a question upon which our people need light, and we are glad tliul Maj. Hanson has consented to speak ujion it. As many of our jieojile as possible should take advantage of the occasion and come out and hear the ad dress. The committee then adjourned to meet again Saturday, July 30th. A lla|>tist Minister Charged with a Grave Offense. The grand jury of last week created quite a little sensation when it was an nounced that it found a true bill against the Rev. Mr. Allen, who lives near Adairs ville, charging him with the crime of in cest. Considering the heretofore high standing and character of the accused in the community in which he lives and his robes as a minister, it hascaused no little sensation. Public opinion, however, is much divided as to his guilt. Many of the most prominent members of his own church yet have confidence in him and stoutly protest his innocence while others condemn him severely and express no doubt as to his guilt. The witnesses against him, they claim, to be of unques tioned veracity and their testimonw is direct and jiositive. On the other hand it is declared to be a piece of blackmail, and ujion the trial of the case that fact will be established, and the fair name and reputation of the defendant will be clear ed of this stain, made by the charge of this most shocking and heinous offense. As it is a matter that involves the name and reputation of a preacher of a great denomination, and as the truth or falsity of the accusation must be left to an impartial investigation by the courts of the country, we refrain from going into details of the matter as they have been stated. The case was called yesterday and passed over until tlie adjourn term in November. No Kooin lor Itickers. Saint Peter, it is said, sits out by the heavenly gates, his hands on the strings of a lyre, and he sings as lie sits, a low song, as he waits for the souls of those who expire. He hears in the distance the chorus of song that swells at the foot of the throne, and he smiles as the music is wafted along, aud warbles this lay of his own : “There is room in this region tor millions of souls, who by sor row and woe bereft; ’tis for those who have suffered the melody rolls, but the kickers must turn to the left. There is room here for people who w hen they were young, persisted in sowing wild oats, but who boom up their city with sinew and tongue; but the kickers must go with Hit* goats. There is room for the people who pointed with pride to the beauty and growth of their town, who kept sing ing its praises aud charms till they die, but the kickers will please amble down. They’d say that the music was all out of tune, and angelic robes hand-me-downs, and they'd send for a jeweler off to the moon, to sample the gold in their crowns. So while there is room for a million of souls, who by sorrow and woe were bereft, we want no complaints of the music that rolls, so the kickers will turn to the left. —Ex.

Mrs. William Alexander, of Adairs vn. le, Blows iieb Head off With a Shotgun. Our little sister city of Aduirsville is just now undergoing u sensation that is convulsing her from center to circumfer ence. The town is usually a quiet one, hut yesterday morning it was thrown into the wildest excitement. One of the most high-toned and respected ladies of the town deliberately took a heavily loaded shotgun from its resting place, and more deliberately pulled the trigger, sending the deadly load through her head. Mrs. William Alexander was prob ably one of the most happily situated la dies in this section. With a kind hus band, two talented and interesting daughters, with her every wish gratified, her’s was indeed a happy lot. A few months ago her health began failing, and two or three weeks ago it was no ticed l>3 r her family and closest friends that her mind was giving way to the dreadful march of disease. She was get ting worse every day, notwithstanding she had the best medical attention that money could procure and the most at tentive nurses that love could command. Yesterday morning she arose from her couch where she had rested very well the night preceding and went into the kitch en to assist her daughters. The young ladies called her attention to her weak ness and begged her to return to her room, which she did. A few minutes afterwards a loud report was heard coming from the room. The family instantly congregated thither and the sight that met their gaze beggared description. There stretched out full length of the floor was the poor invalid wife and mother, dead, the top of her head being entirely blown off. The room was a ghastly scene indeed and the feel ings of the horror-struck family were given vent to by the most pitiable wail ing of the deepest anguish. The neigh bors came pouring in and found the en tire family on the floor caressing the body of the deceased lady, and acting in the mildest manner. Her body was taken up, and made ready for burial. The family has received the kindest at tention from the clever people of the town, each member is very popular and consequently the whole town and neigh boring country has been cast into the deepest gloom. Her remains were fol lowed to the grave late yesterday by the largest concourse of people ever assem bled in the town on a like purpose. The deceased as well as the entire fam ily are members of the church. The hus band, one of the solidest men of the com munity, is nearly crazy with grief, and the heart of every one goes out to him and his children in this their greatest grief. A kinder and more considerate husband never lived, and it was of com mon remark in the town that his was the happiest family in the community. This terrible affliction must surely bear with a crushing weight upon it. “Where is My Hoy To-Night.” Foiul Cartcrsville mothers need not wonder just now at the whereabouts of their boys, for they are at the flying jenny in the rear of this office. Baseball and working in the garden have no charms for the youth of our country, when the strains front a grind-organ is wafted on each summer zephyr and the prancing steeds of the flying jenny are covering space at a 2:40 gait. Old men stop in their real estate transactions, look and behold, catch the inspiration and wish they were young again. Child less married men, taking in the situation, get in the swim, and ride some other man's boys to their hearts'content. They were boys themselves once upon a time and just now they are “cussing" the day when old Father Time brought them over that interesting stage of life when they could formulate some immense fi nancial scheme by which they could coral a sufficiency of shekels wherewith to ride the prancing and dashing and un tamed steeds of the flying jenny to the grind-organ tune of, “I won’t be home till morning." Such is life. The Coming Tabernacle Meet ng. In the course of his remarks Sunday morning at the Methodist church, Rev. Sam Jones gave it out that the regular annual Tabernacle meeting would com mence Friday, the 9th of September, and hoped that the people would pray for its successful management. He stated that Rev. Hugh Johnson, a distinguished divine of Toronto, Canada, would be present, arrangements to that effect hav ing been already consummated, and probably Dr. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, and Rev. Witherspoon, of Nashville, would be here also. The tabernacle meeting promises this year to eclipse anything of the kind ever held in this section, grand preparations are to be made and larger crowds than usual will be on hand. It is expected to do a great amount of good, which no doubt it will. The.se meetings are eager ly looked forward to by our whole peo ple who enjoy them to the fullest extent.

He fell out with a col ored woman by the name of Hannah Moss, about some trivial matter and pro ceeded to inflict a severe beating upon her. He knocked her down and beat het up fearfully. Her injuries, according to the attending physician, are serious and Hannah will not be able to get about for awhile. She was hurt internally. Albert was carried before Mayor Wi lde Monday morning, fined fit) and put under a ssobond to appear at the court. He failed to pay his fine or give bond, and as a consequence now languishes be hind the bars of our county jail. His case has excited much indignation among the colored people. A bad case will be made out against tlie one-armed pugi list, and his future is not at all strewn with the brightest raj s of sunshine. Bartow county can very safely prance Mr. Jim Waldrip forward as her cham pion watermelon raiser. He never fails in bringing in wagon loads of the largest, and most luscious of the king of fruits. His crop this year is fine, a sample of which we are digesting this a. m. Some time since a first-class two-horse wagon was presented to the Tabernacle to be sold for its benefit. The wagon was specially made for this purpose, ex tra good material being used in its con struction. It is now proposed to sell it and anyone wanting it can see Mr. R. M. Pattillo or Robt. N. Hudson. From tlie Press to the Pulpit. Rev. Tom Gibson, an old Cartersvil lian, who successfully ran a paper here several years ago, but now more success fully dispensing the word of God, preach ed at the Methodist church Sunday night, and despite the close atmosphere a fine congregation was out to hear him. lie delivered a fine discourse and made a splendid impression. Mr. Gibson was the first one to discover the fact that run ning a country newspaper and preaching the gospel were two separate and distinct professions that no man could creditably and consistently run them together, lie tried it a few months, and quit the news paper with all its evil enfluenees, and de voted his entire time and talent to preaching. ______ Married. Mrs. Kittie Deweese, relict of the late Wm. Deweese, was married last Sunday morning to Mr. P. 11. Larey, of Rock mart, Col. R. 11. Jones, officiating. The groom is well known here having once practiced law in this community, and was the leader of Bartow's first volun teer company to the war. He has been practicing law at Rockmart of late years and quite recently has connected himself with the Rockmart Slate. The bride is well known and greatly liked in a large circle of friends. She is the only daugh ter of Capt. Edward Puckett, one of our oldest citizens. We are making extra reductions on everything in our line, especially on Clocks and Musical Instruments. Turner A Baker.

That happy moonlight under whose mystic influence lovers take bliss in by the pores. He grew fervent. He clasped her hand. She gave him back a gentle pressure. “Tell me,” he whispered with the hoarseness of emotion, whispered as if he feared the murmuring surf might catch the question and bear it to some other ears. “Tell me, have you ever loved?” She trembled. She hesitated for a moment aal he thought he felt her blushes glow into his eyes. She trem bled, and in a still, soft whisper, gentle as the summer breeze, answered: “Not this summer.” Reading matter for everybody at Wikle’s. Notice. The Suntlu.)
