A solid truth from the Columbus En

They are the spokesmen that speak
abroad and help to point the railroads

a sheet of which they will not be
ashamed.”

happy knack of convincing his merchant

want. We predict for him a big success.

It is amusing to notice the expressions
of surprise of many of our people when
shown some of the work turned out by
Cotiran t-Ame rican job office. “Why I
.had no idea you could do such work
here,” say many. Why, my dear sir, we
have one of the best equipped offices in
the State, and are always ready to do
anything in the way of printing that
a-n.v other house can do.

lect failed to make mention last week of

FROM LIFE TO DEATH
Ih but a moment If rheumatism strikes the heart
Thin disease Ih one of the most painful and the
most dangerous of all those to which the human
family is liable. All liniments and outward ap
plications are dangerous because they drive the
disease often to some vital organ and cause in
stant death. Rheumatism is a disease of the
constitution and blood.
Don’t experiment with liniments and other un
certain remedies. Use Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic
Cure, which has proven a specific never failing to
cure the most inveterate cases, as thousands of
grateful witnesses testify.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1887.
Gentlemen —We have sold large quantities of
your Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure, and have
never known any other preparation to give such
universal satisfaction ah a remedy for rheuma
tism. We consider it the most reliable rheumatic
cure on the market. Yoars, etc.,

A WONDERFUL CURE.
Mr. Albert Howell says: “A short time ago I
suffered terribly with rheumatism. It was impos
sible to walk even with crutches. I could not put
my foot on the floor. I found no relief from
treatment or remedy until I tried Hunnicutt’s
Rheumatic Cure. Before I had finished the second
bottle my rheumatism was entielyr gone. I put
my crutches aside and have never felt a twinge of
rheumatism since. I am well, and can say my
cure is perfect and permanent. It is a wonderful
medicine.”
Albert Howell, Union Ticket Agt.,
Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta, Ga., January 6, 1886.
Gentlemen—l have been a sufferer with kidney
troubles for seventeen years and have been
treated by prominent physicians of this State
and Alabama. I have used large quantities of
medicines advertised to cure blood and kidney
diseases without receiving the slightest benefit.
About six weeks ago 1 suffered such intence pain
—scarcely being able to breathe at times —I con
cluded to try “Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure,” and
after using one bottle was entirely and absolute
ly cured, and for the first time in seventeen years
I am without the slightest pain, and earnestly
recommend all who suffer to give your Cure a
trial. Yours truly,

A HAPPY OCCASION.
•Mrs. Postell Presented With a
Silver Pitcliei and Cup.
Last Monday evening about 8 o’clock
a number of the employees of the East &
West Railroad assembled at the depot o
the company in this city, and in a body
marched to the residence of Mr. A. 11.
Hudgins. Their movements were suspi
cious, and it was evident that something
was up.
A Courant-American reporter, always
on the watch for something to occur,
joined the crowd, and with the railroad
ers entered the parldl of Mr. Hudgins.
Capt. Posted and his wife were asked for,
and they responded with their presence,
much astonished and wondering what in
the world could be meant by such a
gathering.
They were not kept in ignorance very
long tor soon after all were seated Maj.
J. J. Calhoun, the general passenger and
freight agent, arose, and, after a few neat
and appropsiate remarks, presented to
Mrs. Posted, in behalf of the employees
of the East and West Railroad, a beau
tiful silver pitcher and cup as a token of
their regard and esteem.
The presentation was a complete sur
prise to both Capt. and Mrs. Posted as
the gentlemen interested had kept the
matter so quiet that they had no intima
tion beforehand of what was coming.
Capt. and Mrs. Posted expressed great
appreciation of the compliment and ad
miration for the beautiful gift. The let
ters engraved on the pitcher were: “Pre
sented to Mrs. Kate Posted by the Em
ployees of the East & West Railroad of
Alabama.”
For sale.

Good as new. Apply at W. A. Bradley’s

A Fine Showing,
From the proceedings of the last meet
ing of the city council as published in
last weeks paper, we quote: “The mayor
stated that after paying these accounts
there remained in the treasury the sum
of 1741.08.”
This is a fine showing for Cartersville.
She doesn't owe a cent and has a snug
sum to begin anew year with. This
may be attributed to the wise and
economical financial management of our
city fathers for the past several years.
But wouldn't it pay the town to get in
debt a little? It needn’t go into it very
deep, but enough to put on foot public
enterprises that are sadly needed and
that would be of lasting benefit to the
city. The most prosperous places are
those that have the enterprise to build
and keep up public institutions, and the
tax-payers are not mad because they
have to pay a few more cents on the
hundred dollars for such purposes. Let
Cartersville build something, no matter
what, so it makes one step toward prog
ress and prosperity. Water works, by
the way, would be a fine thing to
commence on.

For the Fair.
The Courant-American this morning
presents some pointers that no matrimo
nially inclined girl can afford to pass, by
without giving them due consideration.
The fact of the business is, leap year
comes only once in every tour years and
it is nothing but right that the young
ladies should be told through the col
umns of their favorite journal the
merits of every young man who poses
in the matrimonial market. Names
have been withheld, but it will be no
difficult task for the dear creatures to
distinguish every mother’s son of them.
Leap year is a great institution and
there should be more of them. We
stand stoutly and flat-footed in favor
of this proposition and think an in
crease ot leap years should be brought
about even if the aid of Congress should
have to be asked to do so. The exces
sive numbers of the feminine sex make
it neccessary at times to push the matri
monial market, and a law requiring all
unmarried men to regard every alternate
year as a leap yeap might go for toward
reducing the feminine surplus. Look
right around us in Cartersville and gaze
upon the large number of men who have
never been hauled in by Cupid and tell
us whether or not something should be
done. How many of them, do you sup
pose, might be had merely for the
asking?

An Item Corrected.
In the mention of the crop made upon
twenty-five acres of land, in the last issue,
by Mr. H. H. Milam, of this county, an
important item was omitted. Besides
the stuff grownon the land as was stated
iu the item nine and a half bales of cotton
were gathered. The following is what
was grown on the land: Nine and a half
bales of cotton, 450 bushels of corn,
1,700 bundles of fodder, 35 bushels o
corn, 1,700 bundles of fodder, 35 bushels
of potatoes, 50 bushels of peas, 10 bush
