A liberal price will be paid for the rent of a four or five room cottage for the balance of the year. Apply at this office. Croakers in Cartersville ought to be “crowded out to make room for more in teresting matter,” to use the printer’s phrase. Mrs. Nellie Watkins, who has been vis iting her sister.

The one and two-horse drills sold by Torn Lumpkin last year have all given eminent satisfaction. He has more of the same sort that he wants to sell. Cleveland and Thurman hats were rushed by quite a number of our boys on last Sunday. More would have been out if the boys could have gotten them. Mr. Oliver Williams, of Chattanooga, Tenn., is spending several days with his parents.

Our court reporter last week, in naming the case in which V. L. Williams & Cos. were parties, inadvertently got these clever gentlemen on the wrong side of the jury’s verdict. Mr. Luke Ginn, who lives in the north ern part of the city, lias been quite sick for several days, but his many friends will bo glad to learn that he is much bet ter. and will be out in a few days. A golden opportunity is now offered by Scheuer Bros. They propose to sell off all their summer goods at cost. They mean what they say in their loud adver tisement elsewdiere in this paper. The Walnut Ridge, Ark., Telephone gives a glowing account of a revival meeting now being conducted at that place by Rev. .Toe Jones, assisted in sing ing by our young friend, Gilreath. The Courant-American would like to hear from some live correspondent at Adairsville. It is one of the best towns in this section, and surrounded by the finest farming lands in the State. Write to us. Mr. 11. A. Chapman, editor and propri etor of the Calhoun Times, gave the Courant-American office a call last Fri day. Mr. Chapman accompanied his wife on a visit to her sister, Mrs. J. S. Hillhouse. The corn patches around Cartersville are about ready to have fodder pulled. It has been suggested, owing to the gi gantic height attained by the stalks, that step ladders will be necessities in the operation. Many a heart in this community has been made sad by the announcement of the death of Mr. David Underwood, which occurred at his home in this city last Monday. He was a good man, and will be greatly missed. The foundation for Baker & Hall’s brick block, on the corner of Railroad and Market streets, is about ready for the other work to proceed. This will be one of the best and most attractive buildings in this end of the State.

Free man have taken charge of the Courant- American, Cartersville, one of the finest newspaper properties in the State. Both are successful newspaper men of life-long experience, and they will make a great success. Friends of Mr. Freeman, in this city, by whom he is so well and favorably known, will forever rejoice in his success. Cedartown Standard. The moon will be totally eclipsed on the night of the 22d of this month. The eclipse will occur about midnight, and will be visible in all parts of the United States. Mr. B. L. Durham offers himself as a candidate for tax receiver. He is one of our best citizens, well qualified for the discharge of the duties of the office, and, if ejected, will doubtless make a faithful and efficient officer. Mr. R. W. Satterfield is rushing his brick building, on the corner of Main and Railroad streets, along at a lively rate. It is a splendid two-story struc ture, and will add much to the appear ance of that part of the city. Mr. J. P. Stegall, of Emerson, showed us yesterday a lot of the finest millet we ever saw. It was nearly six feet tail, when blown down before maturity by last Sunday’s heavy wind. It was planted about the middle of May. Rev. C. B. LaHatte, of Gainesville, Ga., is in the city for the purpose of institut ing a council of the Ro.val Arcanum, a mutual insurance association which is rapidly growing all over those sections in which its constitution allows it to work. Mr. F. M. Dellinger, of Pine Log, a good citizen and deserving man, well known to many of our readers, asks the good peo ple of Bartow to favor him with the office of tax collector in this week’s Courant- American. Read his announcement in the proper place. Col. W. 11. Rankin, of Calhoun, was among the visiting attorneys at Bartow court last week. The Colonel is a candi date for representative of Gordon county, and if elected, with his large experience and ability, will do his county and sec tion good service. Mr. T. A. J. Majors, of the Rockmart Slate, was in town Monday visiting his people. Jack is publishing a live little sheet down at, Rockmart, and the people of that town should show their appre ciation of his work in their midst by a continuous liberal support. Our correspondents will please make it a point to mail their letters so as to reach this office on Tuesday. However, special items reaching us by noon on Wednesday will find a place in the cur rent issue. Don’t forget this: Write on only one side oi your paper. While near-by points North of us have complained of the dry weather some, this locality, as well as points South, have had a sufficiency of rain to keep crops growfng, and a cheering prospect now greets the farmers. The outlook for corn and cotton is exceptionally good. Mr. I. P, Harris, who runs the Davitte lirue quarry and works on the East and West railroad, has put in machinery and is having his own barrels made instead of obtaining them elsewhere, finding it much cheaper. It is such expedients as that tell iii the success of enterprises. Col. T. C. Milner, of the Calhoun bar, is among the attendants at Bartow Su perior court. Tom has not taken on much avoirdupois in the last few years, but he is the same genial, big-hearted fellow Jio was when he claimed old Bar tow as his home. His many friends here are always glad to see him. Car tersville’s band was out one even ing last week in a series of serenades. Under’the direction of Vesty Harwell, the members are making good headway, and play several pieces nicely now. We hope the present organization will be a lasting one, and that ere long their pro ficiency ma.v be one of the boasts of the citv. If the farmers of Bartow county, would determine to pool their capital and build a cotton factory here, it would be a big thing. If they would take the initiative step in this direction they would soon be joined by all the capital necessary. When we go to manufacturing our cot ton at home we will see the farmers who raise it growing richer and richer instead of poorer. The way for the agricultu rists to get “protection” for their indus try is to go to manufacturing the raw material themselves. This they can do, if they will. Bitten hy a Snake. On last Friday Wesley Smith, the in dustrious twelve-year-old son of Mr. Lee Smith, who farms the Green Foster place six miles west of town, was bitten on the foot by a rattle snake. The lad was turning at the end of his row which he was ploughing and thought the bite only a scratch from a blackberry bush. He soon began to turn sick aud his father, who was with him, found and killed the snake which had three rattles. The boy’s foot and leg are very much swollen aud the doctors are doing all they can for him. Another Excursion to Tybee. Mr. John G. Purse, the competent and clever auditor of the East & West Rail; road, who got up the delightful excur sion to Tybee Island a month ago, pro poses that those who would like to pay a brief visit to this popular ocean resort shall have another chance on the 24th instant. The round trip fare from Car tersville will be $7.50. From Cedartown to Cartersville and return the fare will be $1.50. which will give all who wish to go from the former place the low rate for the entire trip of $9.00 Tickets will allow for a three days stay at Tybee. The farmers will find it to their advan tage to consult Tom Lumpkin when they want to purchase farm machinery of any kind. Get ready for the sorghum grinding. Tom Lumpkin has the very thing you want. SCHEUER BROS. ' ' - i U ■ - : ;;■ -- \ . : GOODS— =AT COST!= A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. SCHEUER BROS., The Leaders of Low Prices. A City Cart. One of the most obvious needs of Car tersville just now is a city cart to be kept employed in scavenger work and other odds and ends around the streets. The removal to a point out of Lie city of all rubbish, and matter that if left to decay would breed sickness, would be a great contribution to the cause of health, and as well to the comfort and convenience of those who must find a place for such accumulations about their own premises. The cart with a cheap hand when not busy at taking up matter that might be collected and left at convenient places by the owners of property, could be kept filling ruts and holes about the streets that if neglected might cost a great deal more to repair at regular street work’ ing time, and also spreading macadam. Our city fathers should see that we have a city cart and their constituency will soon rise up and call them blessed. Rev. R. .T. Bighatn, of Covington, has been appointed presiding elder for the Rome District, to supply the place of Rev. J. W. Roberts, who has been ap painted financial secretary for Emory College* A Dastardly Threat. Mr. A. G. B. Yandivere, the mail con tractor on the route from Cartersville to Talking Rock, has received the following anonymous communication: “Mr. Vandder we will in form you that you must stop your negro from drivein the mail for we will not a low it it will be best foru to stop him at once if not he will be heart and you too. Your Friend.” Mr. Yandivere, asking the privilege of our columns, furnishes a reply as follows: “I consider the above too absurd for my notice, but would say, if ‘your friend’ should carry out his or her threat, the United States law governing such matters will be sternly and rigor ously enforced. A. G. B. Yandivere.” Ladies call and see that lot of combina tion suits of calicos at Montgomery’s, How often does the patient mother who has just laid away the littleone that died from the effects of teething, ask this question. If she had known of Dr. Rig gers’ Huckleberry Cordial, life might have been brighter. Where is happiness found? In the dic tionary, and in the use of I)r. Riggers’ Huckleberry Cordial, which saves so much pain and anxiety in relieving the the little ones from teething and cholera infantum. The Furnace is bound to be built.

Treasury engages the attention of our : Statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is the leduction of the Surplus Consumptives. Since the discovery and introduction of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, there has been a marked decrease in the mor talit.y from this dreaded disease, and it is possible to still further reduce the number of Consumptives. How? By keeping constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King s New Discovery and using according to directions, upon the appearance of the first symptoms, such as a Cough, a Cola, a Sore Throat, a Chest, or Side Pain. Taken thus early a cure is guaranteed. Trial bottles free at J, R. Wikle & Co.’s Drug Store. 4 Magic Compound.
