Tax Collector will be in Cartersville Wednesday and Thursday of next week, 14th and loth. Fast call. Capt. Posted returned from New York Monday night.

The ladies of tho Presbyterian church realized over #7O from their supper at the St. James Hotel last Thursday night. This amount is for church purposes. Christines comes but once a year and if wedod't get out a paper that w<*ek, you needn’t put any big lot of satisfac- I ion. ( hristmas and its festivities affects the printers like other human beings. A few more healthy tines imposed upon those cureless about the peace and good order of the* town will bring* about a most desirable result. Our Mayor is handling “the boys” with “gloves off.” Dear delinquent, settle up with our agents, a list of whom may be seen on our editorial page. Do not handicap us in our desire to give you a bigger and betterpaper for next year. Please pay up. “Bar Harbor" is a daisy story and will adorn the columns of the prettiest paper ever published in Cartersville next week. In the language of that grand old time lionered chestnut, “subscribe now.” Cor the ninth consecutive time the col ored voter is promised a school house. The chestnut is old and deerepid with age, but candor compels us to assure our colored friends the school house will come tills time. Christmas “ads” will be in order next week. The new form of our paper will be with the view to accommodate any amount of advertising at the same time giving our renders a larger amount of reading matter. T.i kin*!,' our cash book as evidence, this has certainly been the poorest cotton your ever known. However, from the number of farmers bragging on their crops we are led to believe that our cash book is considerably “off” as an indicator of the cotton crop. The small boy needs curbing, and the parents is negh*cting a duty due to the community not to say anything of the injustice to the small boy himself. When propel' restrictions are not thrown around him, at least in so far as to their running about at night. Our present city council will go out leaving something in the neighborhood of SBOO in the city treasury. It may also be remembered that our city tax this year was lessened ten cents on the one hundred dollars from last year. This is how prohibition kills a town. The colored voter is being industriously cultivated by a few of our candidates. When the day of election rolls around the colored voter, generally s|teaking. are going in tor men that propose doing something good tor the town, men that believe in boring with something larger than a gimlet. •1. W. Bridges has sold an interest in his grocery store to one of his brothers. The new firm will greatly increase their present stock, and claim that they will be able, in a few days, to show one of the handsomest grocery stores in town. These young men hope to merit a liberal patronage from the public. The ladies of the t'ussville Methodist church have our sincere thanks for a box of delicious cakes. It is this kind of treatment that brings large gobs of sat isfaction to the average country news paper man and puts him in such a condi tion that he cares not whether school keeps or not. Thanks ladies, thanks. Mr. James (’.(’row, is a tine young farmer but he didn’t make 24 bags of cotton and 1000 bushels of corn on twenty acres of land, as our printers had it last week. Mr. Crow did make the cotton on the land but the corn was made on another piece of land, and the young man never puid out but forty dollars for extra help. Kev. It. E. L. Timmons, pastor of the Methodist church, concluded his work for this conference year last Sunday. He preached his last sermon at 11 o’clock to a large and interested congregation. Mr. Timmons has served his charge faith hilly and well, and whether lit is returned to the Cartersville church or not, he will have the love and esteem not only of his congregation, but of the entire town irre spective of denomination. Col. John 0. Waddell, of North Geor kia, with las home at Cedartown, was in town yesterday, with a monumental smile adorning Ids genial countenance. He Ims faith in oursection and his advice to our young men is, “bank on North beoigia.” The Colonel, as usual, shows hisgood sense.

M e recognize the fact that many of our friends who are in arrears and get their Cohrant-Americans at this post office, do not think of so small amount ns the price of a year’s subscription. It is but natural for one to forget such small matters and for this reason we moved our office last year next to the postnffice and hung out liberal signs. This has not had a most successful re sult., and we are now considering the propriety of hiring a brass band to stand in front of our office to attract your attention and notify you of the fact that you owe us and we want the money. True, brass bands come high but we are bound to make a fuss. We have some thing like fifteen hundred dollars out and our creditors need and demand it. • ■ Go to Word’s and buy a Chamber Set.

The business men, and the progressive people of Cartersville generally, owe it to themselves that men of known progres siveness with broad liberal views com pose tlie council for next year. Next year will most probably be the turning point in the history of our town and it is of the utmost importance that such kind of men have, matters in charge. The most important questions that have ever interested (air people will come up during next year, which will avail noth ing if our affairs are to lie left in the hands of incapable or disinterested men. A lukewarm council can freeze out of existence the grandest schemes that might be inaugurated by the mosfr pro gressive people in the world. Cadies, Attention!

City Council. The city council met in regular month ly session Tuesday night with Mayor W'ikh in the chair and the following al dermen present: Wofford, Collins. A. 4. Williams, llilbiirn, Griffin. Collins, A., and Gllreath. The regular routine business was trans acted. Accounts to the amount of #411.- 55 being audited and ordered paid. The Marshal re|K>rted as collected for the month: City taxes, #283.52; fines, #sfi.fio; sealt*s, s<; transient dealers, #7.50; cemetery, %11; dray license, #3, Total #3l 7.02. Mr, J. A. Baker appeared before the body with a petition praying that he be given a lease on the vacant lot belonging to the city, located just above the St. James Hotel. He wishes to erect there on a law office and wants to lease the lot with the privilege of removing the build ing in rax* tin lot is disposed of. Referred to Messrs. J. C. Wofford, A. Collins and A. C. W illiams as a committee with in structions to investigate and rejiort at the next meeting of council. A committee appointed at a former meeting looking toward the purchase of the old Johnson school house for a col ored school building, reported that the projierty was offend at #BOO. The com mittee was continued with instructions to look after suitable projierty for this purpose. Pending the discussion of this matter Judge Collins arose and moved that the votes of all measures hereafter in the city council Is* recorded along.with the min utes. ■’This question <>f buying a school house came before this body some time ago and a certain member voted and made sjjeeches against the measure and in view of the city election close at hand he denies it. 1 want the votes, recorded hereafter so as toq M . referred to in case of disjnite.” This brought Mr. Geo. Gilreath to the front as lie was the member meant by Judge Collins. He declared that he did not do anything of the kind but was in favor of buying the colored folks a school house, and (%ked the Mayor and the body to substantiate his declaration. The Mayor and Alderman Wofford failed t<> do So, and stated that the im pression made upon them by Mr. Gilreath at the former meeting was to the effect that ld“ (Mr. Gilreath) was ojiposed to tin* measure and fought it. This is file school housethatthe colored folks have been getting, k>. these many years. The motion to record till* votes here after prevailed. The Mayor ordered that an election be held for Mayor and Aldermen for the city of Cartersville for next year on next Wednesday, the 14th, in room rear of L. B. Matthews A Co.'s store, and ap pointed Messrs. ,J. B. Conyers, W. H. Barron and F. M. Walker as nutnagers of said election.

There are only three of them left now. The oldest brother was killed by a fall from the trajieze. Another was injured so badly that he died several months after in an asylum. Fred died lastyear in Furopeofconsump tion. Now there is left William, who is with the “Fantasma” company; Edward who has “LeYoyage en Suisse,” and George. William is about fifty-five years old, George is about forty, and Edward thirty-eight. George has full control of the finances of both companies. Every week a statement of what has been done is sent him. The money is also sent to him. At the end of the season the profits are divided into three parts, and each of the brothers gets his third.

The Supreme court of the United States, on last Monday, rendered a very important decision bearing upon the prohibition laws of the several States. The effect of this opinion is to declare valid the prohibition laws of the state of Kansas and is, of course, a victory for the prohibitionists. The court said that the case came up under the laws of Kansas declaring the maintenance of a building for the manufacture or sale of liquor to be a nuisance, and making the manufacture or sale of intoxicants a mis demeanor. It was contended thaf this law was unconstitutional because it abridged the rights of citizens, and de prived a citizen of property without due process of law, a building used as a brewery being of little value for any other purposes. Justice Harlan said it had been held repeatedly that the right of state to reg late the sale of liquor did not invade the constitutional rights of citizens. It was contended, however, he said, that no state legislature had a right to prohibit any person from manufacturing liquor for his own use, or for export, for the reason that it was an invasion of per sonal liberty inherent to citizens. It must be observed, however, he said, that the right to manufacture drink for one's own use is subject to the restriction that it shall not injuriously affect the public. The right to determine what was inju rious had to exist-somewhere, and the right of determining what measures are necessary for the preservation of public morals, health and safety had therefore been vested in the states by the constitu tional right given them under police power to regulate their own international concerns. While this police power could not be abused, and must only be exer cised for objects of real merit, this court would certainly not say that the liquor tralflc was not one which the state could not lawfully prohibit, because it was well known that the abuse of intoxicants was productive of paujierism and crime. The ggxt ground of contention, the justice said, was, that as breweries had been erected prior to the passage of the prohibition law, and as they were of little use except for bi-eweries, their property FROM LIFE TO DEATH Is bat a moment if rkewotbrn strikes t*M heart.

The state of Kansas had the right to prohibit the liquor traffic. It did not, thereby, takeaway the the proji erty of brewers; it simply abated a nui sance.

In sailing round the world eastward the days are eaeh a little less titan twenty four hours, according to the speed of the ship, as the sun is met every morning a little earlier. These little differences added together will amount in the course of the circumnavigation to twenty-four hours, giving the sailors an extra day, not in imagination, hut in sober truth, as they will have actually eaten an extra day’s food and consumed an extra day’s grog. On the other hand, in sailing westward, the sun is overtaken a little each day, and so each day is rather longer titan twenty-four hours, and clocks and watches tire found to be too fast. This also will amount, in sailing round to the starting point again, to one whole day, by which the reckoning lias fallen in arrear. The eastern ship, then, has gained a day and the western ship has lost one, leading to this apparent paradox, that the former ship has a clear gain of two whole days oven the latter, supposing them to have started and returned together.—Cham bers-’ Journal. Found at Pompeii. The excavations that are lteing carried forward at Pompeii are giving most in teresting results. In the beginning of the month a wooden case was dug up, con taining a complete set of surgical instru ments, many of which are similar to those used in the present day. A few’ dajs later four beautiful silver urns of considerable height were found, together with four smaller cups, eight open vases, four dishes ornamented w ith foliage and the figures of animals, and a beautiful statue of Jupiter seated on his throne. Besides these silver objects several gold ornaments were also found, such as ear rings and rings. The excavations are be ing rapidly pushed forward.—Rome Cor. Loudon News. KflHiliiiK for Ward Rooms, j '"Since you are curious to know what is read in ward rooms,” writes a naval officer. “I will undertake to give you a I general statement. Old newspapers, par | ticularly local papers and cheap novels, form the bulk of our literature. There are a few omnivorous readers among us, and now and then a critical one. I have a friend who enjoys the whole of Her bert SjK'ueer, and in my last ship there were three who appreciated Stevenson, Meredith and Jane Austen. Perhaps something of this latter result was dim to missionary effort.”—W. D. Howells in Harper’s Magazine. Tlie .Personal Equation In AVar. The official records are invaluable and in themselves compose a large part of tho history of the war.
