l’he Methodist Sunday school, which meats
at three o’clock iu the afternoon, is largely

be found loafing on the streets go to Sunday
school iu the afternoon, when, if in the

The different schools in the city are well at

you think we need *otue school houses.

The time of th* court was consumed in the
trial of the case of Mr. M. G. Dobbin* vs.

was not finished. Do you have my idea how
much tho trial of this case will cost the coun

It seems liko, as soon as the grand Jury gets
in session, the negroes are smitten with a
mania for stealing. The Georgia chain-gang
is a popular resort and is very liberally patron
ized by our colored population. Board is
cheap and accommodations are said to be
ample. But it hurts the Bartow county tax
payers like blazes to support th court.
Dr. T. H. Baker is having the St. James

Tie grand jury is still in session. They

They have made it hot for violators of the

investigation. Their presentments will ap

Cue of our uncharitable .cotempoaries has
charged us with the crime of being young

are guilty, we kuow that the more charitable
of our friends will pardon us,aud wc promise
to try and grow older.
The eight-legged-calfui tu, who “did” Car
tersville last week, undertook to skip the
town without paying his board bill. A tele
gram caught him at Dalton and he was made
to “pony up.” The amount of the board bill
was $1.05. but ou acepunt of his smartuess it
cost him $9.95. Served him just right. A few
mean capers of this kind will laud him in the
chaingang,
We learn ihat Emory has refused to accept
the challenge made by Athens to meet her
boys iu public debate. Beu J. Conyers, of
Bartow county had been elected by Athens to
represent her iu this public debate, hut owing
to the failure of the Emory boys te accept, the
debate will not come off. Mr Conyers, how
ever, was chosen as oue of Athens representa
tives to meet the Mercer boys. It will be
“Greek meets Greek,” when Ben Conyers aud
Ed Kyals come together ou a public debate
They are botl |born leaders, and r both hail
from Bartow. There isn’t anoth.u county in
the state that can eud out such a pair.
“Five hundred people” said Mr. Fletcher
Walton yesterday, “have congratulate 1 me
upon my good fot tune since the report got
out tLat i had fallen heir to one hundred
thousand dollars by the death of a rich rrla
live in New York city. ‘‘Do you really think
there is anything in the report” w* asked. “I
know nothing except I got a letter a few days
since, from New York signed by a firm, who
claim to be lawyers, saying there i out
hundred thousand dollars in bank in that city
which I can get by giving satisfactory proof*
of my identity. lam somewhat doubtfui
:,bout it, bat 1 do know that 1 have some rel
atWes in Now York who ar<* report ey to be
wealthy, it is worth an investigation and J
an going to look into the matter.” Mr. Wal
ton left yesterday evening and may not adorn
in several days, We hope he will find the re
port is true. Mr. Walton i a moet deserving
yonng man and deserves bi good fortune it
t proves to be such. Ho’H put hia money in a
good use it he gets any.
A Rising Young Southerner.
Mr. George T. Brown, of Belton,
3. C\, (general agent for the south
ern states of the Taylor & Cox steam
fire extinguisher co., left yesterday
after spending several days in our
city and county. George is a pro
gressive, energetic, competent busi
ness man, and a cleverer or better
fellow, or a traveling man, never got
loose on the road. The Fire Extin
guishing Cos. couldn’t have found a
bettor man for tho very responsible
position which Mr. Brown holds if
they had scraped the south with a
fine-tooth comb. He is a regular
hummer, when it comes to first-class
business, and can sell more state and
county rights to the square inch, than
any man in the business. He is a son
of Dr. Brown, of Belton, S. C., and
nephew of Senator Joseph E.
Brown; and for push, enterprise and
business qualities, he discounts his
ancestors.
It does us good to note the prosper
ity of young southern men. All that
it requires to make a success of
life, in the south, is ordinary sense,
coupled with old-fashioned “git-up
and-git.” Mr. Brown has that, and,
as the old Irishman would say,
“More better nor that.” We know
him of old. He was a room-mate
and classmate of ours at college, and
he’ll do to tie to—we’ve tried him.
He’s a jolly “Kid,” and, all in all,
a regular “Daisy.” We hope he’il
get haudaomer every day (if sttch a
thing be possible), grow rich and die
very, very old.
A Peculiar Stock Company.
Talk about Cartersville being a
slow town, or pokey, or behind the
times! It’s all stuff and nonsense.
You can’t find a more progressive
town iu Georgia. The latest thing
out, and the only thing of the kind
out, is a stock company to exhibit
the Bartow county wonder,—Miss
Mattie Lee Price. The company is
composed of Mr. Robert M. Patillo,
Col. A. P. Wofford and Mr. Dock
Cunyus—All Bartow county men,—
They propose to put Miss Price un
der a short training in order to fully
test and develop her powers. An
elegant war droba will bo prepared,
au& iu a week or two she will be
ready for the road. The first exhibi
tion will be given at Cartersville, and
if it proves satisfactory they will at
once map out a tour and take iu all
the southern cities. Mr. Patiilo is
very sanguine and has given her
peculiar powers a sufficient test to
satisfy his sceptical mind. Dock
Cunyurs will make a mashing stage
manager, and don’t you forget it.
Success to the new enterprise, Hope
they will all get very rich and divide
the profits with the printers.—Hurrah
for Bartow county! still ahead!
Fire! Fire!
The fire fiend scored another vic
tory in Cartersville last Sunday
night. This time it was a large house
on Forest street, known as the
Vaughan property, now owned by
Mrs. Charley Moon. The house was
one of the largest in the city, and
cost, when built, about $2,000. It
was occupied by Mr. William
Vaughan. The origin of the fire is
not known. Mr. Vaughan thinks it
was set on fire. There is something
a little strange about it. The family
of Mr. Vaughan were making an
evening cal!, at a neighbor’s, about
the hour of seven o’clock Sunday
evening, aud nobody was in the
nouse when the fire was first discov
ered by Mr. Rause Sellers, who lives
just across the street. He gave the
alarm and ran across to find the
fireboard of tho front room ablaze
and the ceiliug be ginning to
catch. By the prompt action of sev
eral neighbors, who responded to the
alarm, the fire was extinguished.
Mr. Vaughan and his family re
turned home when the fire alarm
was sounded and assisted in putting
out the fire. After the excitement
subsided, Mr. Vaughan went down
town sto buy something for his wife,
as she was in bad health aud was
very much overcome with fright.
While he was absent, Mrs. Vaughan
says some one came to the door and
tried to enforce an entrance. She at
once gave the alarm, and Mr. Sellers
ran over again, but could find no
one. When Mr. Vaughan returned
from town, he and his wife accepted
an invitation to spend the night at a
neighbor’s house, as all their bed
clothes had been wet in putting out
the fire. Mr. Vaughan says they had
not been away more than thirty
minute*, when their house was dis
covered in a light blaze, and before
anything could be saved, the roof
was falling in, and the whole build
ing was soon in ashes.
Mr. Vaughan thinks the house
was set on fire, while others are of
the opinion that it caught the first
time from the fire in the fireplace,
and that it whs not fully extinguish
ed, but slowly burned, until it burst
forth again, about eleven o’clock.
Mr. Moon hid an insurance of
SSOO on the house,
We desire to sty one more time,
with all the earnestness of our na
ture, that Cartersville needs some
protection against fire. Its greedy,
licking tongue will lap up our
homes and spread irreparable ruin
in our town before any steps are ta
ken to hold it in check.
Kingston Kindlings.
Spring is coming. We have Had a
few very pleasant dsysandour farm
ers are making good use of the lime
in getting every thing in readiuea to
begin the crop. Old plows, hoes and
all the agricultural implements a?e
being hunted up and put in position,
and the fertilizers bought, and I am
sorry to see that several farmers are
buying corn and meat, but we will
have to forgive them this time when
we remember our last crop was so
short.
Messrs Shannon & Duke, represent
ing the Nashville hedge company,
are canvassing our county gettiug
orders to plant hedges this spring.
Several of our farmers are giving
orders. They claim to have a secure
fence in three or four years that will
turn all stock and that it will be an
ornament to the farm, easily kept up
and only requiring pruning once a
year.
Our quiet little burg was consider
ably excited over the presence of a
bailiff serving summonses on a great
many of our citizens to appear
before the grand jury, and for what
was the great inquiry. Some sup
posed that it must be for persons
that it had been getting whisky from
our adjoluing towns during the cold
weather to cure snake bites, or at
least have it ready in case of accident
Others thought that perhaps it was
for persons selling bitters. I. suppose
vve will learn next week why they
were wanted by the grand jury.
lam glad to see our post master
Mr. C. C. M. Bruce, on the street
again. He has been quite sick
during the past week.
Our old friend Bill Arp wa3 pass
through Kingston a few days since
bound for Cartersville. He stepped
off the train to shake hands with his
many friends and did not notice
when his train started, and being
notified was gone looked mighty
sorry and bearan to enquire for the
next train, but alter the disappoint
ment passed off, he made himself
very pleasant by talking about his
fine grand children.
Tom Hargis, I expect, is the
proudest mm iu town —a pair of
girls at his house, and he will not
come out on the streets to give his
friends an opportunity to congratulate
him.
Mr. J. A. Thompson has a good
school at the academy. Hope he may
succeed, as we are in great need of a
male teacher to manage our big
boys.
Prof. Guy Deg has a nice tent up
near the postoffice, and lam told is
taking good tin type pictures.
I was pleased to see Mr. Willing
ham,Sr., of the Free Press, iu Kings
ton a few days since.
I would be pleased to see all the
old confederate soldiers meet at some
place during the spring aud form
an organization. Let each one enroll
his name, giving rank, company,
regiment, brigade,division aud corps.
The meeting would be very interest
ing. No doubt all the old veterans
of the lost cause would be proud to
meet each other and talk over the
different engagements they were in
Who will second the motion?

Miss Mattie Lee Price, a daughte
of Mr. G. W. Price, h poor, unpre
tentious citizen wh o resides about one
and a half miles from this place, was
hand-billed last week to exhibit a
mysterious, electrical power, which
she claimed to possess, at the acade
my on Wednesday night. Upon the
whole the thing was a huaihug. But
we went up simply to gratify carios
ity. On arriving at the academy, we
found a small audience who bad
come to see this second Lula Hurst
When Miss Price weut upon the
-stage, we judged her to be about four
teen years old, and weighing about
ninety pound*. She is rather slen
der, has dark complexion, blue eyes
and brown hair. She was plainly
out neatly dressed.
She began the performance by plac
ing her hands upon the back of a
chair, in which sat the portly local
editor of the .Free Press, but his av
ordupois was too much for her elec
trical powers, and the chair didn’t
move worth a cent; but, when he
caught it iu his arms, she skipped
him around with perfect ease. Then
Tom Culpepper sat ki the chair. Tom
weighs two hundred, and is the best
man in the community. Presently
he made three “buck” jumps across
tho stage and brought up on the
floor. Mr. Joel Conyers then sat on
his lap, but they were hurled to the
floor with all ease. We then went
upon the 3tage aud caught hold of a
large stick, and Miss Price placed one
hand gently on one end, and we be
gan to slip aud slide about the stage.
Uncle Peter Hammond then weut
to the stage, declaring that he was
stout. He caught hold of the stick,
and Miss Mattie placed her hands
against each end of the stick, and he
began to “swing corners aud prome
nade.” While Miss Price certainly
does possess some mysterious power,
yet ail this was—augmented by her
physical strength, which she un„
doubtedly exerted.

Death of W. G. Anderson.
Monday morniDg, of last week,
Mr. William G. Anderson was on the
streets in as good health, apparently,
as usual. Monday evening he was
taken with a ehill, which lasted till
Tuesday night, wdien he died.
No man was better kuown than
‘Buff” Anderson (as ho w T as famiL
iarly called by his friends). He w T as
a genial, generous, jolly, whole-soul

reaved family we tender our sympa

pecially with the fond mother who
loved her boy so devotedly, and
whose loss is irreparable, do we tern*
derly sympathize.
The Devil and How to Kill Him
Wa3 the subject of a lecture at the
opera house last Wednesday night by
Rev. J. A. Munday. Whisky was
the devil, and how to kill him was
to let him f.lone. Mr. Munday is
quite a pleasant speaker and knows
how to entertain an audience. His
experience has been a chequered one,
and he is familiar with the world as
it really is. He was for four years au
actor on the stage, has been a gam
bler, a drunkard, and a clown, Sev
eral years ago he reformed, professed
religion,joined the Baptist church,
and is now an ordained minister of
that denomination. He was educa
ted by John 11. Janies and Joseph E,
Brown, of Atlauta, Ga., and has been
pastor of the second Baptist church in
Augusta. He expressed himself as
much pleased with his visit to
Cartersville, aud says whenever we
want him again he will come. During
the lecture he referred to the ballot
box as an effective means of killing
the devil, and in that connection
used the name of Capt, Harry Jack
son of, Atlanta, as the proper man to
elect to Congress from the sth. Capt.
Jackson happened to be in the au
diance, and the complimentary allu
sion to him was loudly applauded,
and he blushed like a girl.
