Ken Akermau is at the exposition with
a eoupiepof spans of beautiful horses,
which are attracting considerable atten
t ion.
On account of the absence of the pas
tor, Kev. J. S. Hillhouse, there were no

the latest styles and novelties. The
enlarged storeroom of the Scheuer Bros.,
w ill lie packed to its utmost this season.
Albert says that the styles this season
are exquisite and more attractive+thun
usual.
Visitors to the exposition will bear in
mind that the train at the Whitehall
street crossing in Atlanta is the best and
quickest way out to the grounds. A
would-be street railroad monopoly has
run up its prices, and it is from the greedy
grasp of this we would advise our friends
against.
Curtersville has some as live citizens as
any town, who will not rest content until
the old town takes the place that Nature
assigns iter. The croaker has had his day
in Curtersville, and it is “just the thing”
to lie a live man now. The right kind of
spirit is in them, and just look out for
tiie future of the old town.
Those wishing to invest in farming
utensils, mules, horses, etc., will do well to
attend the administrator's sale near
Adairsville, on the 20th of the present
month. This property belongs to the
estate of the late John H. Benson, and
the sale of his household effects and
farming tools and stock will be largely
attended.
Mrs. M. E. Williams and son, of Annis
ton. Ala., have been in the community
several days looking after their property.
Mrs. YV. is the widow of the lute Hiram
Williams, so well known and whose
memory is so highly revered in this com
munity. She has faith in the future of
Curtersville and is holding her property
accordingly.
“Talk up your town,” was the advice
given to our people by Rev. Sam Jones
Sunday night. It is advice of the right
kind and if only the people will do it,
good results may l>e expected. It is
hoped that the day of croakers is passed,
for time is too precious just at this stage
to allow them the least encouragement.
“Talk up our town” and out talk the
croakers!
That fellow Eubanks that does the
hustling for H. A. Boynton, of Atlanta,
in this section, was in town Monday,
stealing down to Rock mart to see his
girl that night and returning the follow
ing day. He likes Cartersville very much
ami from the amount of orders lie takes
he must be mighty popular with our mer
-1 hunts. He is a fine boy and deserves his
great popularity.
I'here is no disputing the fact that
there a better feeling among our
1 People, looking towards the future pros
perity of our town and county than ever
was experienced before. They are drop
ping what few personalities and bicker
•ngs they may be afflicted with and will
P.ull together as one man hereafter. The
Dine has come when every moment is
precious and cannot afford to be lost in
listening to the one-horse ideas of a few
antiquated and slow-dying croakers.
Dalton is highly pleased with her free
seliool system; in fact, did you ever hear
u a town that adopted the measure re
gret the step? Movements are being
made at present b.v a few to bring fhiH
matter for decision before our yieople, and
it is hoped that what few croakers there
may be to discourage the movement, will
continue their drowsing and not wake up
in time to croak. Let them keep up their
record for sleeping over their l**st in
terests pending the discussion of the fire
school subject.
Will Neel says that no where in his
travels lias he “seen a section of county
that is at all comparable to Bartow
county in natural beauty, fertility of soil
and mineral resources.” When compared
to other sections, its superiority inspires
him with a strange love and attachment
for the old county. No one who hits once
enjoyed the pleasures of a home within
her limits and leaves for a season, can
but return with the same opinion and
feelings of Mr. Neel.
If the antiquated “baclis” could see
the standard gunge heavenly smile of
“Chuck Wolford, and learn its cause
they would commit matrimony before the
next frost —if they could. It is the ar
rival of another young lady at his house
that has broadened his smile and made
him recklessly offer railroad tickets
cheaper than ever. His name is certainly
not a misnomer, for he is doing a great
amount of “chuckling” just now.

IN THE CAUSE OF CHARITY.
The Ladies of Cartersville Organizes “The
Improvement and Henevolent Union.’’
In well doing and looking after the dis
tressed and poor Cartersville has always
maintained a record second to none of
any town of its size in the State or in the
South. It has been the history of the
town and her people that if a case of
worthy charity was brought to their at
tention succor was not asked the second
time.
Tiie ladies of Cartersville to better
facilitate their work of this character,
and to better lay their plans, have or
ganized themselves into a society called
“The Improvement and Benevolent
Union,” having for its motto, “Love thy.
neighbor as thyself,” a very broad one,
indeed, and upon which a large lot of re
ligion can be piled. The organization is
not yet quite perfected but will be in a
few days and will consist of the ladies,
married and single, with a few gentlemen
as honorary members. Its purposes are
to look after the distressed as far as
possible, look after their wants, console
with the bereaved in the their hour of
distress, make cheerful the hearth stone
of the disconsolate widow and unhappy
orphans, both by their presence and the
donations of substantiate. The union
will be divided up into investigating
committees in every ward and on every
street, to keep their eyes on the lookout
for any one that needs their assistance
and report back to the society.
It will be seen from a glance that the
union is a noble one and will no doubt
amount in great good and have a suc
cessful career. The pastors of the town,
upon whom most of this class of w T ork
has heretofore devolved, are in sympathy
with the movement.
The ladies of Cartersville, always in
the lead when anything good and noble
is to be done, deserve much praise for
this laudable undertaking, and every
man, woman and child will accord them
every honor and give them every en
couragement.
To raise funds it is proposed to give
semi-occasional entertainments oi a lit
erary character, edifying to our people
and at the same time improving the
minds of those engaged. Mrs. John M.
Purse, lately of Savannah, to whom is
largely due the working up and organiz
ing the new society, has had considerable
experience and will prove valuable assis
in managing these entertainments.
Call on us for anything in the Jewelry
line, and if our long experience and close
attention to this business is of any
value, you shall have the full benefit.
Turner & Baker.
Our Opera House.
The theatre-going peojde of Carters
ville and vicinity will no doubt be glad
to learn that the management of our
opera has !>ren placed into hunds that
insures More and better troiqies to our
town. There is no disputing the fact that
this community turns out handsomely
to a decent attraction, but if anything
comes along that smacks of a low order
or worthlesnpss it is given as cold a shake
as possible, one that generally strands
the show at once and impresses the minds
of the managers with the idea that we
will not put up with “just anything.”
Messrs, lleriiert and Charlie Milam,
two thorough young business men, have
been given charge of our opera house for
a term, who will see to it that we get
only good troujies, and, of course, they
will defiend largely upon our jieople for
encouragement. They are in correspon
denee witli several attractions and it is
highly probable we will have something
good in a few weeks. YY’e look for a great
improvement under the new order of
things.

A Fine Silver Mine.
Old Bartow county still holds her posi
tion at the head of the column when it
conies to mineral. The latest discovery,
one that is creating much talk among
mineralogists and real estate men is the
recent finding of silver in great quantity
by Mr. John Baker on his farm, nine
miles east of Cartersville near Stamp
Creek. Gold, as is well known, was long
mined successfully on Stamp Creek and
the finding of silver in the immediate sec
tion was no surprise to those.that were
acquainted with the section. Mr. Baker
has shown to us some tine specimens
which is pronounced by knowing ones to
be splendid. The prospect for successful
mining is good and work will be com
menced at an early day.

Slate Roofing.
Tuesday The Courant-American re
ceived a pleasant call from Mr. Ellis
Davis, the veteran slate roofer,, of Rock
inart, who was up looking after some
prospective contracts. Mr. Ellis, aside
from being a clever wholesouled gentle
man, is a fine workman whose work is
heartily commended throughout the
many states where it has been given a
trial. He gave us some interesting in
formation about slate that would hardly
be amiss to our readers, especially those
that contemplate putting on new roofs.
No. 1 roofing slate will last a century,
keeping all the while a fine appearance
not becoming moss covered or dingy
with age. Tiie big item in slate roofing
is the matter of insurance, which is
greatly decreased where the property is
covered with slate, there being so much
difference that the cost of tiie roof is re
gained in a short while by lessoned in
surance rates.
A Sound Legal Opinion.
E. Bainbridge Monday, Esq., County
Attorney, Clay County, Texas, says:
“Have used Electric Bitters with most

very low with Malarial Fever and Jaun

medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters
saved his life.”
Mr. D. I. YVilcoxon, of Horse Cave,
Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He
positively believes he would have died
had it not been for Electric Bitters.
This great remedy will ward off, as
well as cure, all Malarial Diseases, and
for all Kidney, Liver and Stomach Dis
orders stands unequaled. Price 50c mid

PINE LOG.
The weather continues tine.
Everybody healthy, wealthy and wise.
Are you going to the exposition? is the
question now.
Messrs. David Turner and William
YVoody were ordained to ministerial ser
vice in the Baptist Church at Olive Vine
ou last Saturday.
YY’e were glad to see the increased inter
est in the Sunday-School, and also the
class meeting at Pine Log on last Sun
day. The young men's prayer meeting
is also attended with much interest.
YYe have heard some floating reports
that the anticipated school at this place
was a failure. YYe wish to state that the
prosjiects have not for years Ihhmi so flut
tering for a school, and for the general
upbuilding of our country at large. Why
not, since we have every assurance of
perfecting congenial arrangements for
both teacher and academy, and then we
have a nice, clean, highly elevated locali
ty, clear of all swamp or creek malaria,
and free from the curse of the liquor
traffic, lieing in the time-honored dry
county of Bartow. Let it be understood
far and near that there is to be a school
and that boarding places and dormitories
will be furnished at reasonable rates; also
that our Church and Sunday-School
privileges can’t be surpassed in any
place. We have*four Churches within two
miles of our village—two Baptist, one
Presbyterian and one Methodist. YY’e
also have near us three mills and two
cotton gins. YYe have in the village one
drug store and postoffice, two stores of
mixed stock, two blacksmith shops and
wood shop, one shoemaker and two doc
tors, who do the practice for a large
scope of country. A. C. S.

Mr. C. M. Quillian, we are sorry to
state, is quite sick with intermittent
fever. YYe hope that he will soon recover.
There is not as much cotton being
shipped from (’ass to Rome as lias been
in the preceding years. This shows that
most of it goes to Cartersville.
Mrs. Walton, with Mrs. Taylor, spent

A crowd of young ladies and gentle

about 6:30. There is no telling what
time they arrived at home, for we learned
they had a battle on the way. Come

KINGSTON.
Death visited our town again on the
morning of tiie sth October, and claimed
Mr. J. S. Ii arris. He had been greatly
afflicted for fifteen months. His remains
were carried to Connaseena cemetery and
consigned to the silent tomb, October
6th. A large number of our citizens
were present to perform the last sad
rite to our deceased friend, Rev. J. M.
YY'hite officiated at the grave. He had
been a citizen of Kingston twenty-four
years, and would have been fifty-eight
years old the day he was buried. Landed
in Kingston about the same time of day
twenty-four years ago that tl{f funeral
procession started out of town to the
cemetery. Brother Harris will be greatly
missed at the Methodist church and Sun
day school. His seat was rarely empty,
and his class of little boys always found
him at his post until the past few months,
he was not able to be present. He leaves
a wife and several grown children and
many friends to mourn his loss. Much
more could be said, but your correspon
dent does not wish to violate your cus
tom. YY'e feel sad over the thought of so
many of our good citizens have died dur
ing this year.
Many of our citizens speak of visiting
the Piedmont exposition. YY r e expect to
have our town gather at the depot on
the night of the 17th, and every one
have a torch or Japanese lantern, so we
can see how to give President Cleveland
and wife a salute as the special train
passes.
Last week Mr. E. Kailey, company G.
93d 111. Regiment, of Lena, 111., in full
uniform of tiie G. A. R., spent two days
with us, visiting tiie places that was
familiar to him during the late unpleas
antness. He was anxious to go on to
Atlanta and meet with the old boys that
wore the gray.
YY’e notice Mr. James Roper, of Florida,
visiting his brother, Capt. J. C. Roper,
and other relatives in and around King
ston.
Miss Nellie Howard has returned, after
a pleasant visit of a week or so to her
parents at Salisbury, N. C. Jackie.
GRASSDALE.
The young people are still at the front,
but this time they were considerate
enough of the old folks to invite them,
and all the old folks need is merely an in
vite ; it takes no persuasion to induce us
to attend the social gatherings. The first
sorghum stretching of this season was at
Mr. Tom Pittard’s on Tuesday night
last, given to Miss Anna Cox, a niece of
Mrs. Pittard, from Burke county. I ven
ture to say there has not been a more
general gathering in our midst for a long
time, nor a more enjoyable occasion.
Cassville was represented by five couples,
who had the pleasure of a straw ride.
Mr. Sam Jones seemed to be chief in com
mand of this delegation, especially the
beautiful young ladies, who were Misses
Gertie Chun, Lillie Gilreath, Mamie Alex
ander, Lillie YY’oodley, from Adairsville,
and Miss Odinell, from lower Georgia.
The candy was well cooked and nicely
pulled, and was real sweet. I know, for I
had a piece from most of the couples.
YY’ill Rowland came along and took my
partner from me. If it had been a good
looking young man I would not have felt
so bad. I had one consolation—they
dropped their candy on the ground and
nobody would eat it.
Two of our boys were in Rome last
week, saw two fires; they made quite a
display, but I must not tell on them.
Miss Bettie Pittard has gone to Ac.
worth to visit her sister, Miss Crenshaw.
From there she goes to Atlanta, where
she will remain until after the exposition.
Two of our ladies were in a dentist’s
office a short time since, waiting there to
have some work done, were sitting up
looking very dignified, thinking they were
making some others believe they were
town people. You can imagine how they
felt when a man from the country told
them he thought they were from the rural
district.
Bro. YY’hite was at our prayer meeting
Sunday night. He spent the*night at J.
L. lrick’s.
Frank YY’eems, from Rome, has been
among us.
Miss Sasie Glenn, from your town, was
at our prayer meeting. She was visiting
Miss Alice Ilenfroe.
Mr. and Mrs. Herring were in Adairs
villo on Monday, s|>ending the day with
friends, and to tell Mrs. Yeach good-bye
on the eve of her retore to Florida.

Here is What an Old Atlanta
Man Says.
I have been troubled with acute rheumatism
most of the time since 1840, and a large portion
of the time to so great an extent as to deprive
me of attending to my business. It finally got
into my left side, hip and leg, and for tbe last
eight or ten years I have been troubled with it in
my right shoulder, arm and both feet, so it was
nearly all over and through me. I have tried the
most extensively advertised remedies in the
South ; of one 1 took seven bottles and of an
other three, neither of which did me any good.
Finally I was pursuaded to try Hunnlcutt’s
Rheumatic Cure. After taking one bottle and
before the second was all taken I began to im
prove, and before I had taken the sixth bottle I
was cured sound and well and 1 now feel like a
new man. lean now walk miles in a day and
work outdoors in any kind of weather without
the slightest inconvenience. I do not believe your
Rheumatic cure has an equal in the world. I
have recommended it to many of my friends,
who have used it and are highly pleased with the
result. Ido not believe there is a case of acute,
inflammatory or chronic rheumatism that your
remedy will not cure if taken according to direc
tions and persevered in. I have almost daily
calls from persons inquiring about the Rheumatic
Cure. One old man came into my place of busi
ness yesterday and told me that one bottle had
done him more good than all the medicine he
had ever taken for rheumatism.

BARTOW COUNTY.
Is one of the best of the twenty-one counties comprising what is known as Chero
kee Georgia, or that portion of the state lying northwest of the Chattahoochee river.
Bartow, by virtue of its soil, its crops, its water powers, its minerals, its society
and its transportation facilities, stands, if not at the head, second to none. The
riches*lands are to be found in the valleys, of course, but the magnificent timber
that clothes the hillsides shows that strong, productive soil is not wanting there as
well. Almost every character of soil known to the state, can be found within the
limits of this county. From the dark alluvial of the river and creek bottoms to the
light gray or mulatto lands of the uplands is an easy and quick transition, and all
are equally productive and responsive to good tillage. All the products of the north
can easily be grown here, in addition to those of the south. The cereals, wheat, oats,
corn, barley, rye, all the grasses, and especially clover, find here a congenial home.
With abundant streams of never-tailing purest water, and a mild climate, this should
be a nursery for mules, horses and cattle to supply the great southwestern market.
A fortune awaits the man with the brain and capital to seize this opportunity. Be
low will be found so ms statistics taken from the census of 1880.
The climate lacks both the enervating qualities of the extreme South and the
bitter cold of the North and west. For healthfulness it cannot be excelled. Pro
tected on both sides by mountain ranges from the extremes of cold, its altitude of
about 1,000 feet above the Gulf insures cooling breezes and pleasant nights during
the summer.
The average death rate is about 28 in 10,000 from pulmonary diseases, taking
all Cherokee Georgia as an example. In the Eastern States the rate sometimes runs
as high as 190 per 1,000 from the same causes. The average annual temperature
about 54° to 60°. In her mineral wealth Bartow has few equals, and no superior in
this State, and the range of choice is wide from Brown Iron Ore to Ochre. Here
are found in large quantities Manganese Ores of high grade, and while the business
of mining and shipping them is of larger proportions than ever before, it is in its
infancy. For transportation facilities we have that great artery of commerce, the
Western A Atlantic Railroad from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and the East and West
Railroad of Alabama, which, starting from Cartersville runs via Cedar-town 105
miles into the Broken Arrow coal basin of Alabama to Birmingham This latter
road solves the question of cheap fuel for us.
Bartow's water power is not to be surpassed,one shoal of the Etowah riveroffer
mg by actual measurement a power of 12,000 horse. Smaller streams are numer
ous. Bartow’s principal town is Cartersville, the countv seat, whose 2 500 Inhabit
ants, clustering about the junction of the W. A A. and' the E. A W. railroads, have
formed a charming little borough, where much more may be done. The merchants
aie eneigetic, thriftj and wide-awake, who, recognizing the ueeds of the hour, are
prepared to extend a warm welcome and a hearty co-operation to any stranger who
among her citizens, the man with small means but-large views need feel no hesitancy
ma,\ wish to cast in his lot with them, and there being no extremes of wealth
for fear of being crowded out by a bloated monopoly. Religious privileges are
ample, there being a church of each of the principal denominations. School facili
ties of the best, and last, but bv no means least, by a popular vote the sale of spirit
uous liquors is prohibited within the limits of Bartow county. According to the
census of 1880, Bartow has 1850 farms, valued at $2 162 212, and their products
for that year were valued at $908,688.
The State has 138,626 farms, valued at slll 910 546, and their annual product
valued at $67,029,950. ’
New 1 ork State has 241,058 farms, valued or assessed at $1,0;>6,176, <4O, and
their annual product is valued at $177,025,695. So from these figures, which we
may presume to be correct, it is seen that while New York farms annually produce
about 18 per cent on their assessed value, those of Georgia produce over 50 per
cent. “A word to the w-ise is sufficient.”

COULDN’T HEAR IT THUNDER.
An interesting letter from Mr. .lohn W.
Weeks,superintendent of DeKalb Pauper
Home;
From a feeling of gratitude and a
desire to benefit others, 1 voluntarily
make this statement. I have great
reason to be thankful that 1 ever heard
ol B. B. 8., as I know what a blessing it
has been to me. I have suffered with
Bronchial Catarrh for a number of years.
Six months ago I was taken.with severe
pain in right ear, which in a few days
began to discharge matter, with terrible
and almost unbearable palpitation and
, all sorts of noises in my head. In ten
l days after the commencement of dis
charge and pain in my earl began to
j grow deaf and in six weeks I was so deaf
] that i could not hear thunder.
I 1 wan then compelled to use conversation tube,
i and it was often that I could not hear with the
tube. 1 then commenced taking B. B. Is. and the
running of my ear ceased running in five weeks,
and can now hear without the tube. My general
health has improved, palpitation ceased, and
feel like anew being, and appreciate the benefit
I have received from B. B. IS. (made in Atlanta.
I Ga.) with gratitude to God and thankfulness to
' the Proprietors for such a medicine. 1 cheerfully
recommend It to all who are affteted with deaf
ness and catarrh. Try It; persevere in its use
and you will be convinced of its value.
