It is estimated that to collect a pound j
of honey from clover 62,000 heads of
clover must be deprived of nectar, and
3,750,000 visits from bees must be made.
The busy bee must certainly very busy
be.
The people of the North will flock
South during the fall montfis. The town
of Cartersville must attract as many as
possible by putting on a busy look. It
must not be counterfeit, either, it must
be real.
The proper way to build a city is to
express full confidence in all the public en
terprises started. Some people should
remember this and not try to tear down
any enterprise by the too free use of
idle tongues.

If the people of Bartow county will ex

will do that which would be vastly more
beneficial to the county. Let them turn
their attention to this now.
Two Cartersville girls graduated from
the Dalton Female College last week.
They were Misses Lillian Green and Julia
Pinkerton. Both stood well in their

proud of her daughters. g

Rev. W. F. Weems, of Rome, was in
the city last Monday. Mr Weems has
been for years one of Rome’s commercial
tourists, but he recently resigned his
position that he might devote his time
to the Master’s cause. Ho held a big
meeting at Rockmart last week, and, we
understand, met with great success.
Mr. George Geer, of Connecticut, the
proprietor of the industry, now in course
of erection, for the manufacture of hard
ware specialties, accompanied by his
wife and child, arrived in the city last
Friday. They will reside at the place
formerly owned by M. L. Johnson, on
Erwin street, and which was bought by
Mr. Geer.
Capt. Peacock has been in Atlanta a
few days looking after the material wel
fare of Cartersville. The Captain has
disposed of all conflicting interests now
and is devoting his entire time to the up
building of our town, operating through
the Land Company, of which he has been
made manager. .
Mr. George Waldrup spent several days
in Gainesville last week, being in atten
dance upon the State Sunday School Con
vention, which convened there. He has a
great deal to say about the progress this
queenly little mountain city- is making
and was particularly struck with the
electric light plant of that place. He
says it proves a big adyertisemenj for
that place.
Under the heading of “Where to Spend
the Summer,” the Kennesaw Gazette
says: “Cartersville, the center of the
mining region of Georgia, is beginning
with considerable justice to herself, to as
sume the position of a health and pleas
ure resort. The people in addition to
showing you pretty scenery and giving
you good diet can put you on track of
more investments which will be to your
profit than are to be found in any other
little city in Georgia.”
Mr. Henry Woodruff, of Rome, accom
panied by bis brother, Mr. Chas. W ood
ruff, and Mr. John Jones, passed down
the W. & A. on the Rome Express yes
terday morning. The party was bound
for West Point, Ga., where the former
young gentleman will this morning wed
Miss Dora Williams, a most estimable
and attractive young lady of that place.
Mr. Woodruff is one of the hill city’s
best boys, well liked by all who know
him. The Courant- American extends to
the happy pair its best wishes.
Col. Aaron Collins left last Sunday for
Chicago, where he takes a hand in nomi
nating a Republican candidate for the
Presidency. Mr. Sam Galloway also
went to be a spectator at the great free
show.
Services have been going on in the
Baptist church ail this week. Rev. W.

the preaching. Considering the hot
weather and the excitement in politics
and other matters, the attendance has
been very good. The meetings are grow

through the week.

Nearly every town of any importance
is having these enterprises established.
All of them are essential to the growth
of any town and where the people are
thrifty and enterprising they will not do
w ithout them. If you do not believe that
towns about the size of Cartersville are
moving in such matters you can be
thoroughly convinced of your mistake by
visiting the enterprising towns and cities
of Georgia. We believe it is imuossible
for any one to go to such places without
coming home thorougly imbued with
progressive ideas. If there be a moss
back among us the best investment that
could be made would be to make an appro
priation to defray his traveling #xpens( s
and passing a law compelling hi in to take
a run to the booming towns of the
South. If he is not then cured he can
be put down as being no good whatever
and an enemy to the town.

Cartersville Girls at LaGrange.
Among those who graduated at the
Southern Female College, LaGrange, were
Misses Hattie Peacock and Julia Hall.
The LaGrange Graphic has the follow
ing to say of their graduating essays:
“ ‘Eloquence of Words,’ was the sub
ject of Miss Hattie Peacock, of Carters
ville. Language was God given, the life
of ideas, physical and spiritual in char
acter, the interpreter of the human
heart. This essay was strong in concep
tion and was read in the best manner.”
“The four remaining subjects com posed
a ‘musical quartet’ being Spaces, Lines,
Flats and Sharps, Miss J. Hall, Carters
ville, in telling of ‘Spaces’ described her
difficulty in getting a subject suitable for
a graduating essay and how she finally
made her decision. Music was made up
of spaces. The world was full of spaces,
whereon the notes of our lives were writ
ten ; centuries, but so many spaces in
time, were filled with the notes of great
men and daring souls.”
The Little Huckleberry

A Fine Sermon.
The educational sermon for the East
Cartersville Institute was preached in the
Baptist church in this city on last Sab
bath morning by Rev. Win. H. Strick
land, of Gainesville, Ga. Our people had
prepared themselves for a rich, intellect
ual and spiritual treat, and their expec
tations, high as they were, were all fully
realized. For nearly an hour the ele
gant divine held the rapt attention of
one of the largest congregations that
has gathered in this church for many
years. His thoughts were grand, and
his language, while terse and strong, was
exceedingly beautiful and chaste. The in
fluence of the sermon will live long in
the hearts and lives of the people pres
ent, old and young.
Effect of a Change of Water.
At this season when people are travel

Nashville, Tenn. May 2, 1888—I

have warded off a seyere attack of rheu

to 92 degrees. Columbus was 94, Gaines

THE DEMOCRATIC STANDARD UN
FURLED TO THE BREEZE.
And the Contest of 1888 Opened
WITH THE CONSTITUTION BATTLING
IN THE FRONT RANKS.
The triumphs of the Constitution in reporting
the campaign of 1884 are well remembered! It,
was the tirst Southern paper to announce Cleve
land’s election and majority, and Atlanta had
celebrated that event before other Southern cities
knew of it! The Constitution led all Southern
papers in 1884.
Our arrangements for reporting
THE CAMPAIGN OF 1888
are fuller than ever before. We have established
correspondents in Boston. New York, Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco—and mem
bers of the Constitution staff will make frequent
trips through the doubtful States.
Through special and exclusive arrangements
with the Boston Herald, New' York World, Chi
cago News and St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the
progress of the campaign will be detailed in t!i •
Constitution as in no other Southern newspaper.
Special letters will be printed weekly from the six
leading correspondents of the country.
The Constitution stands, as it has always
stood, high in the coiifidence of democratic lead
ers, and their views will be expressed through its
columns. We pledge our readers that the great
campaign in 1888 will be
Reported With a Fullness
and accuracy never before attempted by a South
ern n nvspaper. Substrioe n>\v for the campaign !
The dully will be furnished for sl.ot) per mouth,
