Timmons, the pastor being absent in Cedurtown attending the Holi ness meeting. Mr. Charlie Parrott has recently placed on his farm near here a tine drove of Devon cattle. This cattle is very supe rior, both us to milk and butchering. W e wish Mr. P. much success in this new venture. Cotton picking in the daytime, chasing the sleepy headed but delicious 'possum, at night is about the sum and total of the average darkey’s occupation just now. There being no elections to “Hus trate" they are putting in good time. Miss Eula Whitehead has sent to this office a second growth .June apple from a tm> in her father’s yard. It was of good size and goes to prove that any thing and everything can be raised on Bartow dirt in any and all seasons. The idea of building a speigel furnace is a good one, and onr people by building it will show to the outside world that we have faith in our illiberal wealth and will bank our money on it. This assures the prospector and the consequence is capi tal will flow in to help us. One hundred thousand hills looks like a great lot of printing to do, but The Cocuant-A.vikiui’AN is fully equipped to handle such an order, and is doing so for the Florence Elmore troupe. Such nn order as this would scare an average country office to death. Mrs. (). D. Anderson, after spending several months with relatives and friends in our town returned last'Friday to her home at Apopka City, Fla. She was accompanied by Mr. B. E. Lewis of Adairsville, who goes to Florida for t he w inter. 'l'lie Daniel A. Kelly “Shadow Detec tive" Cos., played in our opera house Tuesday evening, n slim audience being in attendance. Thus a good troupe has been given the go-by. It was ail excel lent performance, which was missed by most of our people. Cartersville must do better in attendance, or else the town will be blacklisted in a theatrical sense. Mr. \V. A. Bradly, the carriage maker, has been turning out some splendid re pair work lately ns well as some new vehicles. He is well prepared for the ex ecution of good work and his customers are srtUnding his praise far, near and in loud tones. Mr. Forester, the artistic painter, flourishes the beautiful sublime around this establishment. “Hit 'em hard,” may be very good ndvice in reference to t lie robbery of our premium but it comes with poor grace from a man who never appreciated the fact that a newspaper was being publish ed in his town, by inserting his adver tisement, or subscribing. Backed up by proper encouragement from its own peo ple, a paper can always “hit hard” with a great deal more emphasis. If is refreshing to notice the great in terest the Cartersville ladies are taking in everything that pertains to the ad vancement of their town. They talk of enterprises with ns much vim as the veriest “boomer." Their noble efforts in the entertainment of our Talladega guests is highly commendable and im mensely appreciated. They are always to be found ready and willing to do more tlain their share. One of the editors of the paper is mft livling well just now. Not being “used to" the good things of this earth and the clever Indies of the (li ussdale settlement having recognized that fact and sent in a gracious- supply of the most delicious dclcctubles and the solid substantial, the aforesaid editor acted rash and tried to do too much at one time. Thanks ladies, the feast was enjoyed immensely and the kindness which prompted the re membrance is highly appreciated. At the last meeting of the V. M. C. A. it was decided to disband the association. Veeordingly all the furniture of the asso ciation, consisting of clmirs, carpet ■, sofa, lamps, stove, mirror, book case etc., is advertised to be sold to the highest bidder, to-morrow (Friday) night at 7 o'clock. If those who are inclined to pei pet uate the institution will meet at the imll at the time appointed for the sale, an opportunity will be given to reverse the above action. Ifthis is not done the sale will take place as advertised. Our Guests. A Reputation of thirty of Talladega, Alabama's most prominent business inon, reached Cartersville via the E. A M . it. U. of Ala., on a special train, in charge of Mr S. L. Vundivere, at a o’elock yes terday evening;- They come as our specially invited guest, and while our columns are too crowded to give an ex tended notice of their friendly visit, this week, we can only say, that they met a most hearty welcome, and our people me proud to entertain them, and have the pleasure of extending to them their warmest hospitality. The special train was met at Cedar lown by four gentlemen appointed from the general reception committee. "Upon the arrival ot the party, they were escor ted to the St. Janies hotel, w here they mv being entertained. At S o'clock they were tendered an elegant banquet,, pre pared by the fair hands of Cartersville's "able women. As to its success, and trusts and the eloquent responses, we will speak in another issue. This morn nig H:1 a o'clock, our guest will be car * 'ed ( *n a special tram to Senator Brown's me beds, returning atll o'clock, when 'hey will leave for home. As the foreman emphatically cries _ ‘ . up the forms, we take the time to ■‘gain say, gentlemen we are glad to see •'° u und give you a brotherly shake of he naiid and bid you welcome.

A lew more cuol rcccptions like the one given to Miss Florence Elmore Monday night and ('arfersvilht may as well turn over her opera house to the hobgoblins, mts and mould. Never was a letter op portunity given our jteople to show their appreciation of real merit than the occa sion of Miss Elmore's visit. Although laboring under the disadvan tages ot a limited audience and inade quate stage furniture. Miss Elmore and her support did admirably well. The au dience, although, lacking in size made up in enthusiasm—it was an appreciative one. In “Julia in “The Hunchback." Miss Elmore has no superior. Her acting was admirable, showing that the lady was a studuous child of her calling, in emotional acting she’s simply siqicrb and t he great number of encores given her at tested the appreciation of this by the au dience. The brave little lady, mastering the humiliation of jK-rfornting to a mea gre house, gave the audience the lull Ixm efit of her wonderful genius and excellent acting, something very hard to do, in deed. Her support was good without a sin gle exception, everyone a master in his or her role. Mr. Collins, in “Master Modus,” and J. \V. Tully, in “Fathom," for exceeding drollery could not le beaten. Their quaint humor and quin teseence of ridiculousness was immensely enjoyed. Miss Bayard made a typical and always-wanted-to-be-loved old maid, with an eye always onto* the main chance, and her role of “Helen" could not have been given into better hands. The support all around \fns fine, and the troupe impressed our people as bring a very clever and meritorious party of ladies and gentlemen. Now, a word to tin* good people of ("artcrsville and surrounding country. As is well known onr people have been imposed upon by “snide" performances for the past few years. This was caused to a large extent b.v the loose ntanage ment of tin* opera house in allowing such to hold our boards. The people have been “taken in” so much that they have about lost all hope of getting anything good any more. This state of affairs has ceased to be. When the Messrs. Milam secured the control of our opera house a week or so ago, it was the first edict that went out, “No snide shows.” These gentlemen appreciate the fact that a limited number of good and merito rious attractions aie much more desira ble than an army every week of “snides,” audit is upon this line that they pro pose to run the business in Cartersville. That they should be appreciated and given the hearty support of our people, is no question whatever for debate.

Dodd, a (‘lever gentleman from Tennessee, is in Cartersville and will remain here for several weeks. Mr. Dodd’s business is that of putting up anew in vention in the shape of lightning rods made of copper and zinc, of first class material. He completes the circuit nec essary for the passage of the destroying element over an entire building and with two earth connections. Smoke from chimneys cause rods to rust and take from them their glistening appearance, so necessary. The brighter the rod the better conductor it is. Mr. Dodd has placed rods on the residences of several of the citizens of Adairsville, among whom we will mention, Dr. J. 11. King, W. M. King, Thomas Turner, Andrew Eittleffeld, Mr. Love, and Mr. Hannah. Ib“ has also placed them on the resi dences of Messrs. J as. A. White and J. W.

This is a noble work and should enlist the hearty co-operation of ever v noblewoman. Aon who have com fortable homes and warm clothing should remember that there are many needy ones in our midst who would be grateful for cast-off clothing, shoes, or anything that can be spared. m ♦ • Last week I gave away ten barrels of “Cream of the South/' this week my sales on it have been more than any three houses in the city, on any other brand of flour. Every body likes it, whole sale and retail by J. J. Skinner. I* KOSPKKOUS F A KM ERS Ihe Uonram,.American Has a rieawat C’lat With a Typical Flautt-r. It is it gratifying fact to know that the farmers of Bartow county are in better shu|*? this Heoaoii than has l*i?u known for years. It was with one of the most prosperous of these Thk f ’or it a nt-A m kr n an had the'pleasure of listening to last week. Mr. John who lives a mile or so out from Cartersville, who, with his brother, Thomas, might Is* termed “cot ton planters." They make aliout the largest crops of cotton than any two tanners in the county, so we are informed. Mr. l>eake, in speaking of the’ crop that is now I#*ing gathered, said that it is con siderably I letter than it was thought to lie a tew weeks ago. Cotton that prom ised. scarcely anything but stalk and leaves has fruited well, and considerable cotton will vet fruit if the weather is favorable, lie pronounces this year's crop good, while that of corn was never better. “Old Bartow" exclaimed he, “was never in better shape, her farmers were never more prosperous than they are to-day. Take the farmers ol Bartow county and compare them with those of other coun ties, it will lie seen that ours are more en ergetic. more prosjierous, and in a whole a better class of farmers. They work their lands well, thereby assuring the best returns. They tire an honest, reli gious set, and to-day they tire nearly till out of debt with money ahead. HVe have till to make the farmer happy in our county. Lands of the richest, lying well and easily cultivated, with fine climate and water, there is no reason to think that the lot of the farmer is not a happy one in old Bartow.” Mr. Leake explained the modes and means by which cotton buyers of sur rounding smaller towns get the reputa tion of giving fabulous prices for cotton. "At the beginning of every season,” says he, “the merchants of the town get to gether and band themselves together to buy cotton. Each makes up his mtnd to iose some money on the cotton, say #2OO. Now, ten merchants at that rate will lose #2,000, but in losing this they are enabled to give as good or better prices than any other market.” “How do they make anything you say? Why, when a merchant with a good stock of goods pays a farmer for a bag or so of cotton he can safely calculate on getting one-third of the amount back for goods. It does not take a great many sales to be made to make sufficient profit to cover the loss of the #2OO he has set out to “lose" at the start. Thus the town gets up a good reputation as a cotton market and the amount of trade that is brought to it by these means is simply immense.” OVER THE COUNTY. 01’It CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. Anil IHkli Them Up in :i Delectable Shape For Our Headers. PINE LOO. Not all joy that produces laughter. If you want to keep your boys at home make it pleasanter for them than the streets. There are two occasions when we do not trust a man—one is when we do not know him, the other is when we do. We are glad to see our county paper take so much interest in the upbuilding up of Bartow and the surrounding coun try. We believe the Couhant-American is the best county paper we ever saw and we do believe it ought to be heartily sup ported by all, and especially our own county people. We are glad to see that the school ques tion is agitating the mind of our people, but sis usual there are just a few of those who always predict evil instead of good. 1 believe, Messrs. Editors, you very prop erly call them old croakers. They are always ready to say that Mr. So-aud-So will not do thus and so. We believe that is very wrong. You can tell a boy he is the meanest the town affords and that he will sneak around and do low down, dirty tricks, and that boy is sure to prove your faith by his works. Now lets see how this will work-let our people come together, unitedly lay their plans on a sure footing, work up to them by every man doing his best for the school. Friends, talk up this matter, let’s have a meeting in the inter est of our school. * * CASS STATION. 1 did not come out last week as I was so mashed up at that affair that they call the “Piedmont Expostion,” and I hud’nt quite recovered sufficiently. Misses Lucie and Leila Hargis of Kingston, visited relatives at Cass Sunday. Mr. Bob Bridges, Jr. died in Atlanta Sunday Oct. 23rd of typhoid fever. His remains were brought here and interred in the Hargis graveyard. Rev. Mr. Dale; of Atlanta, conducted the funeral services. (’apt. and Mrs. K. K. Hargis spent last week in Macon, where f hey went to place their little blind daughter, Lucy May in the blind asylum. They also took in the State Fair. Dr. K. I Battle and son Willie, of Grass dale, was at Cass Monday. Mr. George Batty, of Rome, was in town last week. • Mr. John Murchison, of Kingston was here during the weeek. W. C.W. GRASSDALE. The blizzard has truly struck us. On Sunday our folks looked as if they had drawn tip several inches, and every man that was on the road was into his over coat just its deep as he could get. Satur day was such a beautiful, pleasant day that we were considerably surprised at so great a change in so short u time. The festival on Friday night last for tin* benefit of Wofford Cross Roads Church was quite a success, much more so than was anticipated by the most san guine friends, especially as the weather had been so very unfavorable. The night turned out to be very pleasant. 1 don’t think l ever was at. a better arranged en tertainment. There were two rooms in which there were several small tables, seating from four to six persons very comfortably. Crackers,cheese and pickles were on each table, to be nibbled at until your plate arrived, but you had no relish for these as soon as the filled up plate of turkey, ham and salad was set before you so well cooked and nicely seasoned. After you bad done ample justice to this course, then came custard and great heaps of the nicest of cakes. All during the meal we were waited upon by a bevy of the prettiest young ladies that could be found anywhere. (I can prove this by several of your young men, and more so by a couple of your old bachelors—Dennis Vandiver© and Charlie Wikle.) There was also plenty of oysters. I am sure there will be no trouble hereafter in getting the boys from your town who were present to come back again. ’Hie proceeds were nearly fifty dollars. One of our folks when at the exposi tion, after having seen the President, was feeling big rich, concluded he would buy ffini a fine chicken and thereby get above his neighbors, so after looking around he finally found one to tickle his fancy. After talking to the party who had it in charge and getting all the infor mation necessary he got his courage up to where he offered five dollars. The par ty said : “My friend, there is only ninety five dollars between us and a trade,” so Grassdale is to-day without the fine chicken and will remain so until they drop a little in price. Mrs. Herring is confined toher bed with remittent'fever. “Miss Laura Chambers, who lias been visiting Mr. Montgomery’s family, has returned to her home in Rome. Willie Battle has gone to Rome, having POSTPONED! On account of the lain, the Laml sale ad vertised to take place on the -7th ult., was postponed until the 10th of November. The sale will take place that day, fain or shine. Twenty-Four Railroad Front and Business lots to be sold to the high est bidder. Nine close in business and Residence Lots. Now is the time to invest in the City of Cartersville, the coming Steel-Making City of the Sourli. On Thursday, Uov. 10, at 12 o’clock sharp, will sell, without reserve, at auction, the thirty-three lots as shown on large plats over the city. Sale absolute and no reserve. The prop erty belongs to a syndicate of gentlemen who think that for the good of the town they should throw this property on the market at what it will biing, looking to the future growth of the town for their reward. Terms one-third cash, balance in six and twelve months with 8 per cent, interest. W. M. SCOTT & CO., Real Estate Agents, Atlanta, Ga. obtained a position in the drug house of 1). W. Curry. We are sad tit giving up Wfll, for he was a general favorite, could make himself agreeable to both young and old. Next to his own relatives and one other, I am sure no one will miss him more than myself. I predict for him a Success; for he has all the requirements necessary and the energy and determina tion to use them. Cuoftox. * * CASSVILLE. The citizens of Bartow will rejoice at the appointment of Maj. Andrew F. Woolley tts inspector of fertilizers and oils for North Georgia. It is a well merited appointment and our farmers may feel satisfied that during the coming year a due and thorough inspection will be made ot till commercial fertilizers, and that the tags will give a guarantee of an honest inspection. Judge C. H. C. Johnson has been in our town the past week looking after his Hardy farm. He is offering this valuable property for sale at low figures. Some body will get a bargain. Judge Hawks “has no hair on the top ftf his head” (on the side either for that matter,) “the place where the wool ought, to grow.” Theclippers and old age have done the work. George Headden and Rev. Mr. Allday had their pockets picked at the fair, the former losing five and the latter forty dollars. Our Sant Jones and his Chattooga sweet heart inspected the fine stock at the exposition. He lias a notion of going into the stock business we presume. All kinds of fruits, and country produce always at Skinners. Death of a Good Man. Cartersville Was startled yesterday morning by the announcement of the death of Mr. James Carroll, a gentleman long identified with onr mining in terests. Mr. Carroll had been sick for nine days but his family and friends never dreamed bis condition was serious. He had been suffering with a complication of diseases and the fatal result was no doubt caused by being exposed to the damp weather and the great jam during the Cleveland demonstration in Atlanta. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn the loss of a true husband and fond lather. A man, who always had a good word for every body, fully iden tified and greatly interested in the up building of his adopted home, he will be sadly missed. Nothing but the very fin est groceries at Skinners. America’s Pride. True Amrican men and women, by reason of their strong constitutions, beautiful forms, rich complexions and characteristic energy, are envied by all nations.

Turner & Baker. a Mfii Who fheals Oat in the Meetings, W B. WYNNE. Here is What an Ohl Atlanta Man Says. I have been troubled with acute rheumatism aiokt 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 m.v left side, hip and leg, and for the last eight or ten years I have been troubled with it in m.v 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 Hunnicutt'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 I now feel like a new man. 1 can 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 equpl 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 m.v 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. W. B. WYNNE, Gadsden, Ala.

M’GLYNN His Priestly Robes to lie Restored, Hut His Old Parish Will Not be Given Him. Pittsburg, Penn., October 28. — Rev. Father Brennan, rector of the cathedral at Newark, X. .J., was a passenger on the limited, on his way to Joliet, 111., where he goes to take part in the ceremonies of the ordination of Rev. Father Burke ns bishop of the diocese of Joliet, which will take place on Friday next. While at the depot he was interviewed, and made the unexpected announcement that Rev. Dr. McGlynn would shortly renounce the Henry George party and return to the folds of the Catholic Church. Father Brennan is a pleasant faced gentleman, apparently fifty years of age, and an ex cellent conversationalist. When ap proached by the reporter, he said : “1 nni on my way to Joliet, and expect to be gone but a few days, as I have busi ness of importance to attend to shortly in New York City.” “What do you think of the George movement in New York, father?” “It is apparently making some pro gress, but as to what its strength is I will tell that better after the coming election is over; but that reminds me that the probabilities are the George party may lose one of its strong adherents before long.” “What is that?” “Father McGynn. The fact of the mat ter is this: Father McGlynn, Rev. Dr. Bertzel, Bishop Moore, of St. Augustine, Florida, and myself, were all classmates in the American college, at Rome, and we have, ever since his fall from grace, taken a deep interest in him, and itone of us more so than Dr. Bertzel, of New York. Recently Bishop Moore, myself and Dr. Bertzel met at the house of the last named gentleman and discussed Dr. Mc- Glynn’s case. As an outcome of this meeting we consulted with Archbishop Corrigan, and lie sanctioned a course we had determined upon pursuing. That course was nothing more nor less than to send for Dr. McGlynn and imorm him that we had interceded for him with Archbishop Corrigan, and that if he was willing to ask forgiveness for his offenses, there must be some hope of his being re stored to his church again. Dr. McGlynn met with us shortly afterwards, and ex pressed himself as being willing to repent. This was as far as we could go at present, as the case will have to lx; adjudged by higher church authorities than any in the country, but I feel safe in saying that Dr. McGlynn will shortly be taken back into the fold. He will become a priest once more', but will not be given a parish, of course. Bishop Moore, Dr. Bertzel and myself will use every effort to bring about a reconciliation between Rome and our old and once respected friend. When l return to New York the matter will lie pushed forward with untiring zeal. When Dr. McGlynn is restored he will likely be placed in a monastery. He is a goble man and a brilliant scholar, and was always, previous to this mis step, a pride to his church. I know he is now sorely troubled, and I hope, by the grace of God, to lift the sorrow from his heart.” * ; Rope and Twine Production. The entire annual production of the cordage mills of the United States, it is stated, is about 120,000 tons, valued at about $24,000,000. Of this, about 40,- 000 tons is binder twine, and the balance is ro[e of all sizes, from the largest hawer down to the ordinary manilla tarred rojte most used by sailors in splicing and repairs.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Edison was asked the other day by W. A Croffut: “What do you think of the Keely motor?’’ He answered: “I have never seen it, so 1 have no opinion about it. But all the results he is said to have obtained can be got from com pressed air. All the air in this room can be condensed into a liquid that could be carried in a filbert shell, and its explosive force would be tremendous. Skilfully re leased and reconstructed it would move a great machine.” Rev. Dr, Strong says, that, out of the 00,000,000 jjeojde in this country, 30,- 000,000 rarely if ever enter a church.
