Trippe, which occurred at her residence*in Atlantaon bust Saturday. Mrs. Trippe was a model young wife, and during her lesidence in Cartersvilie, by her pleasing and amia ble disposition she won universal admi ration and esteem. The young cigarette smokers will no doubt be sorry to learn of the probabili ty of the passage of a bill by the present legislature forbidding the sale of cigar ette packages accompanied by the usual picture of nude women. This will, it is hoped, stop the wholesale use of the poisonous cigarette bv Ute youths of our state. A few days ago Mrs. Lindsay Johnson missed a *250 diamond ring. Suspicion ivsted upon Millie Clark, the colored fourteen year old servant girl, who was accused of the theft. She stoutly denied it until Marshal Wilkinson began to work upon the ease. She finally acknowl vdged the theft and reproduced tin* valu able ring.

Call and let us know your feelings in the matter, and do not wait to be called upon. Anew and very fresh law of Alabama requires that all railroad men shall have good eyes, which are to be examined every five years. The new law is getting a full quota of abuse from the railroad ers that are so unfortunate as to come under its jurisdiction, while some of the most reliable railroad men in the state are losing thei** j.dts. The East and West ruil'OctU will probably lose two of their men by its exactions. The law seems to be foolish enough, and assures us of the fact that all the bad legislators do not live in Georgia. Considering the weather, the union ser vice fjr the young i*eople was well at tended laet Sabbath afternoon at the baptist church. The 20 minutes’ ser mon. by Rev. 15. E. L.

REPEAL OF THE ORDINANCE REL ATIVE TO THE COWS. Proceeding* of (lie City council in Regu lar Monthly Session The regular monthly meeting of the city council was held in council chambers Tuesday afternoon, with Mayor Wikle in the chair, and a full board being present. Messrs. Aubrey & McEwen, coal deal ers, presented a petition to the body, to the effect that they have the privilege of weighing coal on the city scales from Au gust until the first of April next for the sum of *ls. The jietition was granted. Mr. Ben. R. Mountcastle wanted the assessment on his house and lot scaled; claimed that the figure was too high. Asa meeting of the body lias already been held for the hearing of such com plaints, due notice of which was given by publication, the jietition was re fused. Chairman A. Collins, of the street com mittee, repoated satisfactory progress in the improvement of Erwin street, leading to the cemetery. On motion a fence was ordered erected on the line between the Ea t Car tersvilie institute and the premises of Mr. S. L. Vandivere. The city marshal, J. D. Wilkerson, re ported the following sums collected the past month: Dray license * 3 00 Fines Id 50 Show license 5 00 Impounding dogs 1 00 Impounding cows 1 75 Sale of dog collars H 75 Street tax is 00 *53 75 The resignation of Mr. Miles A. Collins as trustee of East Cartersvilie institute was read and accepted. Kev. W. 11. Cooper was selected to till the vacancy. JOHN HILBURN H PET MEASURE. For several weeks Hilburn, from the Second ward, has been endeavoring to get through the council an ordinance, to theeffect that all beeves sold in this mar ket shall be insjiected before sale, and an inspection tin* charged. He made no progress until the present meeting, when an ordinance to tlmt effect was drafted and presented by Alderman Griffin. The measure went through without a mur mur of opposition. The ordinance will be found in full in another column of this paper. The question of appointing an inspec tor next came up, when Hilburn pro posed that a citizen of the town be se lected, and not any of the present offi cers he mads to fill the position. Judge Collins hoped that the duties of the new office be put on some of “our numerous city officers.” “The town is already offi cered to death,” exclaimed the judge with a flight of oratory that would have par alyzed Julius Caesar, “and 1 hope to see the time when the people of Cartersvilie will not be taxed to keep up so many of ficers, and that the number of aldermen be reduced from eight to four. I’m in fa vor of giving the duties of the insiiector to one of our already numerous city offi cers.” Thereupon the mayor graciously ten dered the job to the doughty judge, which was peremptorily refused. Fpon motion an outsider was agreed upon, and Mr. Martin Collins was selected to fill the position of inspector of all beef offered in this market for sale. The sons of Mr. S. F. Milam were granted leave to use the unused stairway under the opera house as a fruit stand free of charge, provided, on the motion of Alderman Gilreath, “they do not al low cigarette smoking on the premises,” “Travis,” is the name of an old dog be longing to Win. Puckett, and is said to be a valuable canine. “Travis,” on ac count of his usefulness in tracking crim inals in their flight, his efficiency in that respect lieing fully established when lie led the pursuers after a jailbird a few months ago, he was allowed a collar free of charge, and now he may be termed an officer of the town. When the mo tion was carried, extending “Travis” the freedom of the city free of charge, Alderman Crawford moved that the tax collected on dogs be refunded and the dog ordinance be declared repealed. This motion was irredeemably lost. William White, light in name but dark in color, wanted the tax refunded on his dog, a collar for which he paid the city for. Williaih said that some one had shot his dog. and thought the town should reft ml the tax money. The ald ermen thought, too, and acted accord ingly. MULEY WILL MOSEY AS USUAL. The average reader will by the time this portion of the council proceedings is reached come to the conclusion that the meeting was devoid of interest and importance. Theold saw that proclaims “a calm before a storm,” holds good in regard io the present meeting of the council. The business of the body had proceeded thus far without any apparent energy or spirit, but when Alderman George Gilreath startled Cartersville’s al dermanic board with the proposal to change the time of putting up the cows from August 1 to the 15th of October, this brought the honorable body to its feet, and for a while intense interest was manifested in the proceedings. Aider man Hilburn, who is professedly against letting the cows run loose, amended Gil reath *8 motion by making the time the Ist of October. This brought Judge Collins to his feet again, when he had another glorious chance to orate. In moving to repeal the cow ordinance al together, he used some caustic language as to the stability of a certain member of the council. He was tired of the agi tation of this subject; thought that the matter was settled long ago, and the purposes of the law were to be carried out. But if this matter was to be con tinually kept before the people and every body hurrussed to death by it, he was heartily in favor of repealing the ordin ance, and made a motion to that effect. This motion received a vehement and positive second from Alderman J. C. Wofford. The language of Mr. Collins was spirited, and threw out some allu sions of a not very complimentary odor, which John Hilburn appropriated wholly to himself. Hilburn got the floor, and was making a speech of much warmth, interspersed pretty lively with some in sinuations as to the motives of Judge j Collins. Hilburn tired away, and was i ruled out of order occasionally by the J mayor. He accused the judge of not toting fair, and said the motive of the judge was to postpone the measure to gain more votes for it later on. Hilburn was apparently very warm and sulphur ous air was beginning to prevail, when the mayor had to call him to ordor, and then he put the question of repeal to a vote. Those voting for its repeal were: Messrs. A. Collins, J. A. Crawford, J. C. Wofford, G. H.Gilreath and A. J. Collins. Against the repeal: Gerald Grittin, A. C. : Williams and John Hilburn. | It will be seen that “old muley” has her I friends, who will see to it that she will have her liberties undisturbed. She will continue to mosey around in the streets, passing her time away in fooling her friends with the idea that she will con vert into sweet lacteal fluid the tin cans, dog fennell and sparrow grass that grow luxuriantly upon the thoroughfares and boulevards of the town of Cartersville. To say that the friends of “old muley" are happy, would be but half expressing it. It is said that when it was generally known that the ordinance was repealed, a large gob of satisfaction was heard from every cow in the town, and they kept up their congratulatory lowing dur ing the entire night. After passing upon and auditing ac counts, the council adjourned. BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT. Clrauil Jury Presentments for Third Week July Term. 1887. We, the grand Jury selected and sworn for the full term of Bartow Superior court, 1887. make the following present ments : Finding the grand jury of the first week had examined tlie public records, and being satisfied with their report, we made no examination of the records of the ordinary, clerk of the court, sheriff or treasurer. The books of the county commission ers are Ijefore us. We find no entries on the record for the year 1887, since January 4th. We call the attention of the board to this as a grievous over sight. We examined the dockets of the jus tices of the jieace of districts Nos. 857, 036, 822, 81 'J and tire* X. I*, of district No. 822. Several justices of the peace and nota ries public have failed to bring their dockets before this or the former grand jury, to wit: J. P. district No. 828 and X. Ps.' district 819,903, 1041, 930, 828, 850, 952. Our county school commissioner came before us, and made a verbal report of the condition of the schools of the coun ty. This not being the term ot the court at which he is required to submit his books for examination, we accepted a verbal report, lie reports the schools generally in good condition. From his reports, however, we would suggest that greater cure lie observed in the selection of teachers, especially among the colored people, as many of their teachers are not able to reach a grade above the fourth, and do not take that interest in the sub ji*ct of education which should charac ize those to whom is entrusted the train ing of the young. Many of these teach ers never avail themselves of the advan tages offered them for their improve ment in the art of teaching, although such improvement would cost thorn noth ing but the time and trouble of attend ing the monthly meetings of teachers. He has on his list 98 teachers, at an an nual cost of between five and six thou sand do”urs. We take pleasure in en dorsing our county school commissioner as an efficient and faithful officer, who should lie aided and encouraged by the patrons of the schools in his efforts to advance the educational interests of the county. We find there has been some frauds practiced by false returns of teach ers. The parties have been indicted for false swearing. We have, to the best of our ability, through reports from different sections of the county, examined into the condi tion of the roads and regret to report them in generally very bad condition. The road between the bridges over Pettit's creek is in very bad condition, and in times of high water is a very dan gerous place. We recommend this place be so fixed as the best judgment of the commissioners may suggest, so as to make it passable in the winter and safe in times of high water. The road between Hardin's bridge and Cossville is in great need of work. Trees have been lying across this road since last April, on the same road are two gates, which are reported as nuisances to the traveling public. That portion of the road leading from Cartersvilie to Canton, lying in Stamp Creek district, is in shamefully bad con dition, not haying been worked since the fall of 1880. The road leading from Cartersvilie to Cassville, between the residence of Z. W. Jackson and that of Minus Rogers, has on each side of it a large gully, without sufficient room for wagons to pass each other. These gullies render the road un safe, and are becoming more and more dangerous. Some parts of the Alabama road, one near Raccoon creek church, and between the church and Stilesboro, and one near the residence of Arthur Davis; on the sides of this road are dan gerous gullies, in some places from 8 to 12 feet deep; and at Raccoon creek is a very bad place—a large mudhole. The road leading from Cassville to Ce dar creek, which has been reported in un safe condition to a former grand jury, and ordered to be repaired, is still in as bad, and even in worse condition, than when its unsafe condition was reported to the grand jury of January term of 1880. The place known as Jolley’s pond, in the 17th district, has lieen reported to a number of grand juries as being a dan gerous place. The grand jury of the January term of 1880 called special at tention of the commissioners to this place, and insisted that the commission ers liave the roadbed raised, and thus made safe and passable. M e learn from parties living in the neighborhood that nothing has been done to improve this road. Road leading from Cassville to Canton, and road leading from Cartersvilie, to Wolfpen are in bad condition; in many places these roads are not of sufficient width. The roads in Allatoona district are reported in very bad condition — what few roads have beeu worked in this district have been run over in such a careless manner as to lie of very little benefit to the roads. The road from the iron bridge to Paulding line, known as Douthitt’s mountain road, is in bad condition. We would regret the necessity of pre senting the commissioners of roads for not having the roads kept in good order, and trust that this gentle hint may be sufficient to render it unnecessary for a future grand jury to do so. We, by committee, visited the jail, and found the veranda of jail in bad condition, caused by a leak in the roof. There are several leaks in the roof over the cells, and some bad leaks over the cook room. The grates in the windows are too open, the spaces between the bars being suffi ciently large to enable parties, so dfs posed, to hand tools of considerable size through to to the inmates of the jail. This could be easily remedied by putting in a closer grate on the inside and sever al inches from the other grates. We no tice some of the blinds belonging to the jail building lying in the house with the hinges broken. We recommend these re pairs and alterations be made at once. We further notice the floor in the sher iffs office in the court house is sunken in one corner. We concur with the former grand jury in reference to the improper use of the j court house yard. We do not concur ' with the former grand jury in their recommendation in reference to changing : the number of grand juries from two to ! one for each term. We call attention to the great incon venience and loss of time occasioned by the almost constant noise of heavy trains of cars passing and rcpassing along the railroad tracks and switches during the sessions of court. The aggre gate cost of one year in the loss of time amounts to no inconsiderable sum, and the aggregate for a few years would lie sufficient to pay the cost of anew court house and grounds in a suitable location. The court house is, in our judgment, un fitted for the uses for which it was de signed. by reason of its location along side the railroad tracks. We therefore recommend that the court house and grounds be sold at the best price and on the best terms obtainable, and that the proceeds arising therefrom be appro priated to the erection of anew court house in a suitable locality. We suggest that this important matter has been too long delayed, and that as early and prompt action lie taken as possible. We recommend that the county com missioners pay A. M. Franklin, sheriff, *8.35. amount paid out by him for rail road fare, etc., for witnesses out of the county. Also that the amount of *3.05 be paid to H. It. Towers, constable, paid out for expenses in bringing Richard Robinson, charged with the offense of burglary. We thank the court and the officers of the same for the courtesies shown our body. We recommend these presentments be published in the county paper at the usual rates. Jxo. T. Norris, Foreman. Starling M. Roberts. James B. Shelhorhe. Rout. F. Jolly. Th aiieus S. Hawkins. Joseph A.

This May Ist, 1887. A Trick of III* Rome Cotton Iluyers that Our Farmers Should Remember. Under the caption of “It is not Right,” the Rome Bulletin i litis exposes a gigan tic trick to fleece the farmers that sell their cotton in that market: “If the cotton buyers persist in tin* programme that we understand they liave inaugurated, the city of Rome will be injured no small amount. “We learn that they are forming for the purpose of forcing the farmers to sell their cotton at a warehouse scale; that the warehouses have combined together not to bid against each other; that after the farmer lias put his cotton in the warehouse he will be forced to take the bid offered by that house. We also learn that they have, or are about to agree, that they will not buy cotton from any farmer unless he brings it to the ware house of some buyer. This is all wrong, and cannot but tend to injure our mar ket. There is no use arguing the point at all, but if they persist in this there will be men brought into Rome to buy cotton and they will buy it on the streets. “Another thing, the legislature passed a law that no more than 10 cents should be allowed for weighing cotton. The evasion of this is a fraud, and those that indulge in it know that it is wrong. Therein not a jot of Christianity con-' neeted with it.” The Bulletin is right, and now if it will just forge ahead and expose the many other schemes that are resorted to by which to bring cotton into that market, it will do a good work, one that will be commeneded by all good people. Under the belief that they are securing good prices for cotton, the farmers do not take any consideration of the many and exhorbitant fees that are paid on every bale that is sold in the Rome market. We are glad the Bulletin has exposed this new scheme to rob the poor farmer. Goodness knows the farmers of this coun try are burdened sufficiently. To those of our Bartow county far mers who are in the habit of selling their cotton in Rome, we would especially call their attention to the above significant warning. Kindly Remembered. Jlvery day we are more and more con vinced that the life of the country news paper man is not one of continual trouble, anxiety and unpaid bills. Occasionally a small rift of sunshine floats into the dismal gloom of the sanctum in the shape of a fifty pound watermelon, a basket of peaches, and “sich like.” This office has fared well the past week, in fact its condition is somewhere at the head of the column. Henry Tumlin has paralyzed us'with a monster melon. The paralyzing was kept up by Capt. Newt Dobbs and Jim Waldrip. ltro. Collins, from the poor farm, do nated a basket of fine “boss" apples to a suffering crowd of printers. Last but not least, our clever friend Mr. Jas. C. Herring, of Grassdale, pranced in with a basket of as luscious grapes as were ever ourgood fortune to demolish. They were delicious, anil besides the never failing memory of their reception we believe the taste of them will be more lasting than life itself. Yes, we are doing well this summer, in fact, the printers are growing fat and saucy. It has only been eight hours since they demolished a fine melon from a friend, and already they threaeu to inaugurate a strike if another is not forthcoming very soon. The bridging over to 'possum time by this paper seems to be an assurety, Later —Just before going to press Mr. John Stover sent in a very fine and lus cious melon, for which he has our thanks.

We have been informed that an item appeared in the Oedartown Advertiser of last week which read about like the para graph below. As the subscribers of that paper are no few and far between, it was impossible to get hold of a copy so us to give the paragraph in its exact words: “The Cartersville Courant-Amerlcau has cut us from its exchange list, for spite we presume. As we are still exchanging with the Atlanta Con stitution, St. Louis Republican, and others we can make out without the “A Melican.” The simple fact that an oversight on tin* part of our mailing clerk should call forth such a lot of silly stuff' shows conclusively that the visits of our paper is of considerable importance in the Ad vertiser office and fully dissipates the assertion that that paper can get along without us. We admit that we cannot do without the Advertiser. We have occasional spells of insomnia, for which the editorial col umns of that paper proves an infallible remedy. So send it along Bro.

Court Proceedings, The fourth and lust week of the July term of the Bartow superior court con vened last Monday, Judge .T. C. Fain presiding. There being no grand jury drawn for this week, the traverse jurors were sworn in, and but little time was consumed in getting the court in work ing shape. The first case called for hearing was that of Mrs. C, M. Fields et al. vs. C. C. WillirighaTa, principal; Thos. 11. Baker, J. 0. Wofford, et al., security, complain ant. This case had been specially set, and it is one of more than usual import ance, not so much on account of the amount involved, but the many and complicated questions raised by the de fendants in the case, going to show that they are not liable on the note sued upon. There has perhaps been no case tried this term, in which every inch of ground was so stoutly and ably contest ed, as in this one. It is the second time the case has been tried, the first trial being in November, 1585, but upon mo tion of plaintiff's counsel anew trial was granted. The hearing of the case lasted until Wednesday morning. The case of the state vs. W. M. Gra ham, charged with shooting at another man, was next called. NOTES. Judge Fain will probably hold a four weeks’ rdjourned term in November. Court will adjourn Saturday. The recoftimendation of last week's grand jury, as to rhe building of anew court house, is favorably received by the people. The necessity ior a change of a location is recognized on all hands.
