Dorsey, ex-mayor oi Athens, lias, together with his w ife, have been visiting their relative, Mr, Dick Jones. Their visit was marie pleasant, and they enjoyed our pure mountain air and the company of our clever people. Mr. Dor sey cast more than one fond glance of some property hereabouts, and Carters ville may yet claim him as a citizen, lie is one of Athens’ most progressive citi zens, being largely interested in the clas sic city’s street railroad. He’s the kind of a citizen that Cartersville would ex tend a hearty welcome, Capt. Dick Hargis, the clever conduc tor on the Western Jfc Atlantic railroad, was the most surprised man iu the city last night. While chatting with some gentlemen, Capt. Will Dunlap walked up and presented him with a lieautiful enam eled gold pin, Tlie pin is a monogram of the “O. R. C,” and is an anusually pretty one. Capt, Dunlap made the pre sentation speech, and Dick made a hap py response. The pin was given to Capt llargis by some of his friends, and Capt. Bradley was there to see it well done.—■ Chattanooga Times, A CRYING NEED. CARTERSVILLE, TO SUCCESSFUL LY COMPETE WITH OTHER MAR KETS. MUST HAVE A COTTON COMPRESS. A New Invent'on tliAt Place* These Ma chine* Within Reach of All —Shall Cartersville Have One ? Of late years Cartersville has severely i experienced the necessity of a cotton compress. By rights ten or twelve thou sand bales of cotton should come to thin market where only four thousand come now. To allow such a state of affairs to continue will forever seal the fate of our town. While, it is true, this market ha s all along done the very best it could and in a large measure paid as good prices, taking into consideration the many ex horbitaut fees demanded from the far mer by other markets, as any of them. Here cotton is not graded as closely ns other markets. A fancy figure is not put up on a bale or so of extra quality and tne balance of the crop scooped in by lower prices. There is no disputing the fact that this is tlie case elsewhere, and has all along fooled the farmers into the idea that they were getting good prices. And, too, these markets had better railroad rates on account of pos sessing cotton compresses. These com presses have heretofore cost immense figures not within the reach of .small in terior towns.. Now, that a machine has been placed on the market at such a low price and on such favorable terms, tlu* future compressing will be confined to the interior towns where it belongs. Country towns for decades have acted simply as feeders for flu* larger cities. A change of programme is now in order and in a few years.we expect to see quite a revolution take place. That Cartersville needs a compress, ami that too, badly, no one will deny. That such an investment will prove a safe and paying one is of equal truth. With one, better railroad rates can be secured, which will bring back to us in a, hurry the ten or twelve thousand bales that we once enjoyed, besides enabling us to handle thousands of bales from neighboring towns. Already the far mers of this county and adjacent coun try are “catching on to” the wily schemes of the cotton buyers of other markets to defraud them of everything they can, and if signs amount to any thing tlu* prospect is that we will receive A larger share this season than former ly. it was only the other day that the Home Bulletin exposed a scheme of the Home cotton buyers by which the far mers wen* compelled to submit to their dictation as to how their cotton should be sold. The scheme was to compel the farmer to warehouse his cotton, pay the hundred and one little charges for the* “sampling,” “weighing,” “storage for a few hours, “handling,” etc. The farmer is not to be allowed to offer his cotton from his wagon on the streets and sell therefrom, but is to be made to store it before a bid can be asked. The farmers, especially the Bartow county farmers, are fast finding out this scheme to rob them, and will no doubt govern them selves accordingly the coming season. An effort will be made by our merchants and cotton buyers to offer inducements which will bring the staple here. There is no doubt that something will be done, for it's in the air, and the farmer that lias been attracted by the fictitious prices and “downed” by exhorbitant fees, etc., of other markets, may just as well make up his mind to haul his cot ton to Cartersville. The. first thing to be done will be to buy a compress, which will bring on bet ter railroad rates. A cotton compress is what we need first and what must be had. The invention of the “Boomer” press, by Mr. Geo. B. Boomer, of New York, places such a machine within the reach of our means. It will answer every purpose of this market. The person of means that is interested enough to look into the matter as an investment will find that it will pay better than any thing that he can put his money into. We had a pleasant call from the agent of this machine,’Mr. Walter T. Forbes, of Atlanta, who explained its workings to us as well as to others. It is priteed at a low figure, while the Morse and other machines are held at $40,000 and above. We believe there are a few pub lic-spirited men in this town that will take hold and push this matter through in time for handling this year’s crop. One of the “Boomer” presses has been sold at Demopobs, Ala., and for the ben efit of our iMiopia wg will publish the ac count of the trial, which proved to be very successful, and which decided the people of Hazlehurst and Greenville, Miss., to purchase one of the same style. This press is guaranteed to handle sixty bales of cotton an hour, which will meet all the requirements of exports and ship ping. The following report of the trial is taken from the Demopolis News: Friday last, the new -‘Roomer” cotton compress pressed its first cotton, The machinery did such splendid work, we take pleasure in making notice of its per formance. The compress is provided with two powerful twin engines and two 50-horse power boilers. Only one boiler was fired and not over fifty pounds of steam used in making the test, in fact the safety valve was set at fifty pounds. Tin* press accumulates its pressure in fif teen seconds and takes off tin* same in seven and one half seconds. With expe rienced labor sixty to seventy-five bales can be compressed per hour. The compressed cotton after it was ejected from the com press measured from twenty-four to twenty-nine pounds densi ty to the cubic foot, which is considera bly more than is required by the New Or leans Maritime Association for export cotton. The requirements as we under stand it, being twenty-two and cn * half pounds density |:o the cubic foot. The press was sold by Walter T. Forbes, of Atlanta, Ga., sole southern agent for the Boomer compress: It was maim, factored by the Boomer & Bosehert Press Cos., of Syracuse, N. Y., and erected under the personal supervision of Mr. Boomer. Everything about the press is very massive and strong, and reflects great credit upon the engineering skill of the manufacturers. A bale weighing 384 pounds was compressed until the platten and bed were but six inches apart, and one weighing 004 pounds was re duced to ten inches with as little appar ent effort as would be required for a man to lift a child, yet only one half the power pf the press was used. It being thought best by Mr. Boomer to give the machinery a little wear before putting it to its full capacity, lienee but one half the steam pressure usually carried was used on this occasion. The boilers are set separate so that steam nmy lie got up in one boiler and fifty or (One hundred bales pressed off with half a set of hands at the rate of thirty or forty bales per hour, with half the usual expense. Another test was made Monday op two bales of cotton weighing +3Q pounds each. They were first compressed, and then the two were put into the press to gether and brought down to fifteen inches, expanding to twenty-four inches when taken out. We interviewed Mr. Geo. Leder, super intendent of the Demopolis Oil Company, a thoroughly practical mechanical en gineer, and he says the Boomer com press is an unqualified success; heretofore he always thought it required a very pon drpfts and expensive machine to eom prees cotton to the required density but that this machine which costs less than half the price of compresses generally in use has convinced him of his mistake. Mr. I). F. l’rout, of the firm of Frouf & Robertson, being asked his opinion as to the success of the press, stated that as far as he was able to judge of such , things, it came fully up to the require ments for pressing cotton. OUR PEOPLE ARESTIRRING And Will Make a Good Showing at the Pied in nt Exposition. Last Saturday was the regular meet ing day of t he fair committees and it was ;ii this meeting that it was discovered that the farmer sand people of Bartow count," were taking a lively interest in the proposed r nty display. Mr. Mc- Cormick. who has been employed to can vass the county for exhioits reported his first week's work and a good report it was too. lb* stated that all the country people are interested and anxious to make a creditable display.

A Pleasant Entertainment. The .Constitution of Sunday, has this to say, of the most delightful ente - tainment, given by Capt. and Mrs. J. T. Lyon, last Thursday evening: The charming country home of (’apt. and Mrs. J. T. Lyon, on the banks of the classic Etowah, was, on last Thursday evening, the scene of much merriment and festivity. It was the occasion, of a most delightful reception given compli mentiary to the Misses Goldsmith, of Atlanta, Miss Lula Goldsmith, of Missis sippi, Miss Annie Goldsmith of Stone Mountain, and Miss Lou Malone, of Calhoun. It was an assemblage of Georgia gallantry and beauty, of the freshness-and buoyancy of youth. Captain and Mrs. Lyon received and entertained their guests with character istic ease and grace, Notliing was spared that would add to the comfort and pleasure of those present. The entire place was made beautiful and attractive. The magnificent lawn was brilliantly illu minated by a number of huge bonfires, and among the branches of the stately oakes were suspended inumerablq Chi nese lanterns, as bright and sparkling as if studded by so many stars, the whole presenting a sight of rare beauty and resplendence. The spacious residence was brilliantly lighted throughout, and everywhere was to be seen exquisite deco rations of flowers and evergreens, and various lovely and artistic ornaments. The evening was spent in dancing, prom enades and social converse. At 12 o’clock the guests were invited into the dining room to a repast fit for the gods. A more elegant or sumptuous feast is rarely served. After supper (lancing was resumed and continued until early morn, when the happy throng, intoxicated with the pleasures of a most delightful occas ion, dispersed, feeling grateful to the chivalrie host and qeenly hostess, tor their unmeasured hospitality. Come on, Gentlemen, when you want Shoes, try us and we will give you some that are solid, and no mistake, and at prices that you can stand. J. G. M. Montgomery.

A City Ordinance that Needs Enforc ing Very Badly. Those of our merchants that have been selling Duke's cigarettes, will, no doubt, be surprised to learn that there is a city ordinance in force forbidding" the giving away or selling of the naughty picture that accompanies each package. These pictures can be found in the pockets of nearly all the youpg boys, in whose hands they cannot possibly do any good, but to the contrary debases their better na ture and debauches their mind. The evil' has grown so great that our legislature will be asked for a remedy. In nearly all towns of any importance already sufficient laws exist to cover the ground and the trouble is they have not been enforced. We hope to see our clever marshal give those merchants that have been handling them timely notice, and we believe there will be no cause to resort to the law. The ordinance says that no one “shall exhibit re* ~<4i, or offer for sale any ob scene, vulgar or licentious book, picture or painting of any character whatever.” The ordinance will be found on page 14 of the new revised City Ordinances and it is clearly seen that the naughty pictures that are sold with the cigarettes come under its jurisdiction. Cigarette smok ing is injurious enough to the young boys and tjjp officers owe it to the parents of Cartersrille to stop tI)P vvqrser evil, the distributing of the vulgar aqd nasty pjm tures with them.

THE COMING MEETING. Extensive Preparations Being Made for Large Crowds. The regular annual Sam Jones Union Tabernacle Meetings will commence Fri day morning. September 9th. continuing ten days, four services each day. Exten sive preparations have been made and are yet lieing made for the entertainment of larger crowds than usual. Substan tial benches have been placed in the im mense auditorium, and the seating ca pacity increased. Those that attended the meetings last year will be agreeably surprised at the many improvements since then. Ample provision will be made | for the storage of baggage, etc., a house being erected for that purpose. A man will lie in attendance to receive it and give checks for the same. The preaching will be very fine, while the choir will be larger than usual and well drilled. The meeting promises irt every way to be a grand feast and great results can be confidently exjiected. Among the preachers that will lie pres ent it is announced that Rev. Hugh John ston, o£ Toronto, Canada, a distinguish ed divine who will tie here at the earnest solicitation of his friend Rev. Sam Jones. Though not positively stated, it is ex jiected that Mr. Leftwieh and Rev. Sum Small will be here also. Then there will . be Revs. J. B. Hawthorn, H. C. Morrifcon and J. W. Lee, of Atlanta. A. J. Jar rell, much beloved here, J. R. Kendall and Dr. Geoteheus, of Rome. The preach ing of this intellectual coterie will be lib erally interspersed with the home-driv ing, solid truths of our own distinguish ed fellow-citizen, Rev. Sam Jones. Prof. Excell will be on hand with his sweetest songs that are so much appre ciated by all who are so fortunate as to hear him. Every day a children’s meet ing will be held. Prof. Hudson, of Ohio, being in charge. The railroads will very liberally give good rates, and no doubt do a great deal towards making the meeting a success.

The Walker county Messenger, under the above caption, prints the following concerning the death of Mrs. J. E Patton m*e Miss Fannie Jackson: The “saddest death” often occurs in this world—when one, young, loved and cherished passes into the silent land. Such a death was that of Mrs. Fannie Jackson Patton, the wife of Mr. J. E. Patton who after a week’s painful illness and inexpressible suffering, died on the morning of the 12th, calm, happy, and triumphant in the faith that her earnest Christian life had ever exemplified. Few have witnessed such an end—a death more beautiful. “She was so patient and thoughtful of everything, and so grateful for every little kindness,” say those who watched by her bedside. Nothing was forgotten by her. In her own brave, firm way, she faced the inevi table. No one ever passed from life with all duties so'completely fulfilled. Husband, father, mother, brothers will keep as a life long possession the precious memory other dying words of love and tender thoughtfulness. An only daughter, a sister so loved by de voted brothers, and with an equal place in the affections of her husband’s family, the keen loss to both cannot be realized, irreparable as it is to the two motherless little girls who survive her. Upon the happy home that her presence made so bright, a shadow of deepest grief and desolation has fallen. For the four years that Mrs. Patton has made LaFayette her home by her bright cheerful disposition, kindness of heart, sincerity and true lovable woman liness, she had won an enviable place in the hearts and estimation of its people. In the church and society she will be sadly missed. The long procession, and the crowded congregation, that on Saturday morning filled the Methodist church, and listened in tears to the sermon by her pastor Mr. Thomas from the singularly appro priate text; “What Ido now, ye know not, but shall know in the hereafter,” and to a touching personal tribute by Dr. Fariss, and later followed the body to its last home in the town cemetary, attested silently to a grief and sympathy that was universal over the death of this noble woman. Decided Improvements. We are glad to notice a disposition on the part of a few West Main street mer- I chants to make their thoroughfare more attractive by the liberal use of paint. Nothing drives away the bad looking features of a dull looking town more than paint. In the next few months Cartersville will be seen by more people than she has been in some time. Thous ands will be here during the Tabernacle meeting. Train loads after train loads will pass through to and from the expo sition, some stopping over to louk at the country and good many probably spending their nights out of Atlanta during the exposition. An attractive looking town, neat stores and clean streets, catches the eyes of the home seeking individual. Let our merchants and people move as one body in the matter of giving the good old town a genteel brushing up. It does not cost much and may be the means of doing some good. Besides by thus doing they are only abiding by the blessed Scripture that says that “Clean liness is next to Godliness. let us get a “move on us.” We sell the old reliable 1847 Roge *8 Bros.

Reed, the well-known palace ear photographer, who spent several weeks here last year, was in to see us Tuesday afternoon. He has just invest ed largely in lands along the Chattanoo ga, Rome and Columbus road, buying two or three farms and a whole moun tain. He is also largely interested in the Etowah property, lie is a very clever gentleman whom all like and would be glad to see more of. He is thoroughly imbued with the idea that this section of Georgia has seen its worst days and that we are on the eve of great development and prosperity. He certainly believes in our future prosperity and shows his faith by iuvesetng considerable money to back it. A Fine Farm. A few days since, a representative of The Cot: rant-A me kican had the pleasure of q ride over Charlie Parrott's magnifi cent plantation, on the river. The place is now under the management of Thom? as Trammell, one of Bartow county’s cleverest and most enterprising young farmers. The splendid crops we saw at test Mr. Trammell’s knowledge of farm ing ami his capacity for managing such a large place. He has acre after acre of as tine corn and cotton as were ever grown in Georgia. One ten-acre field of cotton is unusually fine, averaging about five and a half feet in height from which he expects to get a bale and a half to the acre. I have a fine milch cow for sale, she gives 3 or 4 gallons of rich milk per day, C. T. Jones, “Red Corner.” A warning in time. j Farmers Ho n’t Sell Your Cotton Seed too Cneapl The timely warning published below, taken from the Griffin News, will proba bly 1m- of considerable importance to ! our Bartow county farmers. The dozen [or so cotton oil mills just established , throughout the south will no doubt ! cause an increase in the market price of cotton seed. The Standard oil company have heretofore controlled things and hammered down prices to suit them selves, but anew company has entered the field, and the competition between i the two will be of great benefit to the , farmers. Read the warning and govern ! yourselves accordingly, farmers: “We learn through a prominent and influential gentleman—one who is anx ious that the farmers should be pro tected in the sale of their crops—that parties are going around through the country buying up the cotton seed at from 1 2% to 15 cents per bushel, to be delivered when the crop is ginned. While this may seem to be a fair price to many who have been selling this article at these prices in the past, but now, since new cotton seed industries have sprung up all over the South, the price is com pelled to advance, in face of the increas ed demand. The gentleman further stated that this fall's crop would not, under any probable circumstances, fall short of 18 cents. In his opinion 20 cents will be about the price, though it will doubtless go higher. Our advice to the farmer is to keep posted as regards the market, and not sell their seed at a short price.” Go to Wikle’s drug store and get fruit jars and put up berries, as there will be | scarcely any peaches in this section. You I can get the jars at bottom prices. .lust received my third lot of Fritz [ Bros, fine Cigars that will down any’ J Cigars in the surrounding county. 2t J. W. Bridges. The Centenary College. Rev. Mr. Stuart, who so favorably im j pressed those that heard his preaching 1 at the Presbyterian church a Sunday or so ago, is connected with the Centenary College of Cleveland. While here he did some good work for his institution and probably a few young ladies from this section will attend at the coming open ing of the fall and winter session. Con cerning this college Rev. Mr. Leftwich well known here, said in a letter a short time since: “Centenary Female College, located at Cleveland, Tenn., has just completed the second year of its existence. Thegrowth of thits young college is marvelous to those who are not acquainted with Dr. Sullins, the President, and hisefficient co laborers, Professors Stuart and Stub field, and the business board back of them. No one need travel further to find the inspiration and condition of the most remarkable success known to mod ern college history. Beginning in a bare field, the finest, most imposing and con venient college buildings have been erec ted and finished, the campus laid out in walks and drives, and ornamented with trees, shrubbery, dowers,and fountains, making it a thing of beauty and a joy forever. These spacious and elegant buildings filled with 150 young ladies, haring over them an able and experi enced faculty of instruction, all closing up the second year with the staid agd quiet air of a college venerable with years and ripe in historic lore, could not fail to impress one with the intrinsic merit of an institution young and vigor ous with its fresh, growing life, presided over by the ripe experience and accumu lated wisdom of many years. The beau tiful town of Cleveland, with its shaded streets, embowered homes, and quiet walks, poured out a vast audience to listen to the Bacculaureate sermon by a stranger—all pulpits and congregations uniting to make the College Commence ment a great occasion and show their appreciation of the greatest factor in their Christian civilization. From the evidences presented, this wise and exper ienced faculty ol instruction are doing honest, faithful, and skillful work in the education of young womanhood for the highest social and Christian circles of the country. The holy Communion at night brought all of the young and the old life of flie college around the Communion rail as a Christian family, to testify to gether their love for our common Lord. It was an impressive scene and service that will longer linger as a rich benedic tion upon every heart present. All of our colleges should be Christian institu tions.” We have still a large line of Padan Bro.'s Celebrated Shoes. Come and try them, ladies, and you will want no others, at Montgomery’s. Old Man Poor. Pur citizens have probably noticed old man Poor wandering' aimlessly over our streets. Ilis condition needs attention from the proper authorities beyond doubt. He is no doubt crazy and seems to labor under the hallucination that he is night-watchman at the depot and as he says, “empowered to arrest any one on the square.” He says that he was appointed in Atlanta and made to come up and await for his commission. He has been at the postoffice every mail ask ing for his commission for several days. He got tired of this however, and yester day morning began frantically yelling for somebody to come forward to receive ids resignation. The promise of a com mission was no doubt a ruse of the At lanta policemen to get rid of the old man.

The East & West’s Diamond Drill. The diamond drill recently ordered by the East & West railroad company pass ed through town last week on its way to the coal fields at the other end of the road. In a few days this drill will be put to work boring for coal, on the compa ny’s property, at Broken Arrow. It will be sunk in a number of places and that section will be given a thorough investi gation. It is proposed to find out to what extent mineral abounds on the line of the road, and will no doubt be the means of opening up vast deposits, un known before. The East & West railroad will do more for the development of the mineral in terests along its line than any body or corporation. Their interests lie in the country through which their ties are laid, a fact they appreciate, and, of course, will give it a careful nurturing. If you would secure a bargain in cloth ing now is the golden opportunity, for we are determined to i lose out this branch of our business, and they must go within the n j xt thirty days regardless of price.
