CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY L 9, 1884. The Cartersville American. Entered at the Post Offiee at Cart/nrsville, Ga., May 9f A, 188>-, as second class matter. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY. 19, 1884. Sifted Shimmerings CULLED PROM THE any spread out <# v Before our Readers. A gentle rain o’erspreads the main, The streets are soft and gritty ; Now’s just the time, ’tis very plain, To clean our dirty city. A little slash will now and then Creep into certain papers, Wh'ch makes it plain to thinking men ’Tis time to cheese such capers, Gen. Grant is getting well. Turn off the gas when you go to bed. President Arthur goes fishing in July. Winter will Huge- in the lap of Spring. David DaVis sits down on a cat —the cat dies. Senator Colquttt has a good memory lor names. Washington City seems to be a paradise for negro ruffians. Statesmanship and holding office are nearly synonymoustisms. Joe Blackburn will not go thirty days un - heard in the senate. It is announced that Queen Victoria rides a tricycle. What next ? So-called independentism in Georgia has grown stark and stiff. President Arthur, the grand master dude, spends $5,000 a year for flowers. A fat wallet maketh a merry heart, but a light purse maketh a heart heavy. Great floods in the west. Thousand* of people homeless. It will be our turn next. The moon and the stars see more evil in a single hour, than the sun in his whole day’6 circuit. The once tarnnas operatic gem, 11 We won’t go Home till Morning,” is rarely sung now except in station house cells. Divinity clearly had nothing to do with shaping the eads of Folger and Brewster. Divinity never touches garbage. Rome will edopt the electric fire alarm sys tem as soon as she his $3,500 in her treasury. This will probably oe about July. The perspicuity of advertising literature gleams in its brilliant refulgeuce like a retired oyster can flashing in the moonshine. The republican press is engaged in a fusil ade on the Morrison tariff bill. They forget that they are drilling holes through their own plank. A lady iu Lowndes county, Georgia, has made and sold 900 pounds of butter in one year, nor did she milk Jerseys—common piney woods cows. * r The reason why so many temperance lead ers go into the milk business is, that they want to put water in aa attractive form before ram drinkers. The question remains unanswered —will the president remove Fred Douglass from the of fice on the ground that he has outraged eivili zatiou and decency. The floods iu the west are worse than they have ever been known before. The Ohio river at Cincinnati is one hundred and seventy feet above low water mark. The American hog—Vanderbilt—went to the Montreal carnival on a special train. There will be nothing more independent on Cana dian ice than that hog, Two of Brigham Young’s boos have died drunkards, two of his daughters have the same husband, and one of his son’s sons writes poetry. Mormouism must go. Speaker Carlisle might nave been United States senator from Kentucky bad he desired to be. He possesses a first class prospect ol securing the democratic nomination for presi dent. Don’t take long walks on an empty stomach. If you want to walk on a stomach at all, try and find a full one, as it is softer traveling. A stomach is not a good place for a long walk anyway. A gang of young Washington burglars have been sent to the reformatory. They called themselves “Sons of Re6t.” They have chan ged the name now by adding an “ar” before the “rest.” Don’t forget to take a drink of pure water before breakfast. It settles things after the last night’s seance, reduces the size ot the head, and, besides, makes one appear like u temperance advocate. An exchange says "a crazy quilt is one that is too short at both ends.” While it is ad mitted that this is true, still the craziest quilt is the one that persists iu crawling off the bed onto the floor on a stinging cold night. A dead congressman is very dear to the country. It cost 6, ou an average, about three thousand dollars to get one sttrted toward Heaven by the underground line; but when the accompaying delegation and the other weeperi assuage their sorrow from the flow ing bowl, the bill is a thousand or two more. If the time speDt In telling what “I am go ing to do,” and in what “ should like to do,” was spent in endeavoring to do, instead of talking, much more would be accomplished and fewer men would look upon their lives as unsucceeful. An exchange reports the case of an Ohio school girl who was strung np by the wrists because 6he refused to sit with the boys. The effect of this immoral discipline is likely to be shown later on in life, if the girl is not trans cendemally moral. A Florida knight of the qnill has discovered that his friend, jolly Dick Saunders, is the happy father oi the largest baby born in the town oi Jimplecute “since the war.” How can the war be consistently mixed np in this kind ol business ? Judging from the style of alleged writing that comes to this office, the ghost of Horace Greely is not only abroad in the land, but is engaged in writing. No man ever made the marks he did wheu he wanted to express his thoughts on paper. Joe Blackburn is elected to the United Stales senate. If any ancient fossii in that body attempt to suppress Joseph by sitting down npon him, he will think the base ot his braiu has secured the deepest regard of a large size and very sharp darning needle. The western neck-tie soc ial system is work ing its way east. A lynching parly was held in Ohio last week, and a murderer was sent to a higher court lor trial. If this tbing gets to be general, the insanity dodge won’t save a murderer’s neck in any stale iu the union. “No sparking after ten o’clock,” says Dr. Graham. “No dancing unless he and she are in separate rooms,” say- Dr. E iton. Some body else will presently say “N • kissing until after marriage,” and the fool killer will spit on his hands and get in some good work. The manufacture of presidential broomlets is on the increase in Washington. The style of the firm for the present is Arthur, Logan, Sherman, Blaine and Edmunds. The broom lets ure steeped in lye to keep them fresh un til they can be packed and seut to Chicago for sale. .The suppression of crime in the south is again under serious discussion in northern papers. Why southern more thau any other crime should be suppn ssed, is not set forth iu the indictment. To the man of broad guage ideas, it would seem that all crime should be suppressed. Don’t be so vulgar and slangey in conversa tion as to ask your girl to go roller-skating. It isn’t proper. You should 6av: “Will you kindly join me in zampilarotation this even ing ? ” Then if she wants to enjoy the exer cise, she will reply: “I will zamp, you can wager your existence.” Texas journalism is in a most flattering stage of prosperity. Twenty-three editors iu that state have each been presented with a boy baby since New Year’s day. But Carters ville can beat that, for, with hardly one-mill ionth of the territory of Texas, we have had in our little city, in the way of babies during the past thirty days, an increase of population of twelve. Chicago is not happy. It has been discov ered that a Georgia woman has four feet ou two extremities. Her shoes have to be made in the shape of a cross. She has four heels and twenty toes. It is all well enough for Georgia to be ambitious and endeavor to ex cel Chicago, but no one will ever hanker after such feet except some dime museum manager No indeed, a woman with four heels and twenty toes will never replace the old-fashion ed kind. The papers are telling how a certain Geor gia man, now worth fifty thousand dollars, never wore a pair of shoes until he was tweu ty-one years of age, Ol course the iotent of the paragraph is to injure the boot and shoe trade by insinuating that a man will become rich if he will go barefoot until he is twenty one years of age. But the scheme would not have worked a few weeks ago. Too much chillblaiu weather. About as sad a spectacle as oue can wish to see, and one that arouses all the sympathetic nature in a human being, is to see a woman with the mumps. Forced to keep her jaw still she is unable to express an opiniou to her husband for remaining at the lodge until mid night or to give her views on the latest sensa tioual development in her neighborhood. Being iu this condition her neighbors lose all interest in her, and she, poor thing, is obliged to be a martyr alone, with nothing but the mumps to keep her company. It is awful. An experimentalist in stenches the other evening went to a densely-attended negro ball, and, when the odor d’Afri Was at its ze nith, threw a Limburger cheese on the floor. The light between these awful smells Was so terrific that the ball room was left to itself The experimentalist is an enemy of England, and the inventor of the Limburger bomb. He will sail for London soon, and experts, with his new combination odor, to take the breath of the English race away in less than a month after arriving there. Montana is putting on' “civilized airs." A preacher in that territory * 8 trial f° r having indulged bis taste for driving fast horses, roll er Bka'iug, consorting with sinners, etc. This roller skating busiuess is one of the greate t temptations ever held out to a Christian, and it is not one in a hundred, no matter how firm they may be in the faith, not even a preacher, can put on a pair of roller skates and not fall from grace. It will bring them down every time. No Christian should mon key with roller skatee unless he knows what he is doing. There are respectable, intelligent, educated men in the District of Columbia who strenu ously maintain that it is an inherent right of all citizens of the United States to marry whom they please, regardless of color or any thing else. No citizen of the United States possesses au inherent or other right to do any thing that will injuriously affect public moral ity or tend to bring into centempt a legal so cial institution. Inter marriage of whites and blacks would speedily debauch public moral ity, and bring into contempt tbe institution of marriage. Other conditions of great strength might be presented against this particular ‘ inherent rigut” theory, bat “the game is not worth the caudle.” 7HE TATTLER TALKS. Farts and Fancies Gathered Here and There aad Teld by the Tattler U Tickle the Gossips and Toni the Tediois Honrs into Talk. The Tattler was standing at the j depot a few evenings ago, when Mr. S. T. Cantrell,the popular road master : of the Cherokee railroad, motioned us to enter the car where we were i shown an elegant gold headed walk ing cane. It was indeed a beauty, and was finely finished. On the head of the cane was the following inscription: “Presented to Capt. J. Postell by employees of tbe Chero kee railroad.” Mr. Cantrell and Mr. J. E. Good were then on their way to Cedartown to formally pre sent the cane in behalf of themselves, and the following named gentlemen who are all employees of the road and who contributed to its purchase, John H. Cobb. S. L. Vandivere, C 'V. Gearheardi, WiM Hudgins, R. H. Wells, H. F. Lester, J*ek Edwards, Henry Harris, J. M. Dor sey and others. Capt. Postell was much surprised when these gentle men entered his elegant residence, and Mr. Good,in a neat and appro priate speech, presented the caue. The Captain gave expressions to the appreciation of this unexpected mark of favor in his generous off-hand way. The occasion was very pleas ant, and Capt Postell furnished elegant refreshments during the evening. We like to tee these to kens of friendship and expressions of kind feelings passing between em ployers and employees. It shows that the working class know how to appreciate those who hold positions over them, when they are kindly and justly treated. Capt, Postell is one of the rising railroad men of the south, and justly popular with the men of the Cheroaee road. He proves his fitness for the position he occupies by his wisdom in seiecting such men as Torn Cantrell, John Cobb, Will Hudgins, Sanford Van divere, Frank Lester,and the other gentlemen named to assist him in managing the affairs of his company. The Cherokee is now one of the most popular and best paying roads in the state. During the last term of our court the Tattler was one night sitting around the fi r e at the Tennessee house in company with four or five grand jurymen from different par*/ of the county. Among that number was the foreman of the jury who lives in of our neighboring towns which has voted whisky from its limits. We asked him if there was any force in the argument used by the anti-prohibition men that the prohibition of the sale of whisky in jured the general trade and business of a town. Said he: “I am a strong prohibition man. lam opposed to the use of whisky in any form. I do not believe that its use accomplishes any good, but on the contrary lam sure it is the greatest curse with which our county has to contend. I am now over fifty years of age and I have never yet seen any good that whisky has accomplished. I have seen our most promising young men ruined by its use;l have seen women walk barefoot and ragged ou our streets because their husbands spent their earnings for whisky. I have seen our town in a perfect uproar and riot because of intemperate use and I have seen men cut each other to pieces and shoot each other down because they were wild under the terrible influence of this enemy ol mankind. In answer to your ques tion I say that our town has been made infinitely better by the prohi bition of whisky. I know that trade is as good as it was when whisky sold there, and better than this I know that our boys are saler and our citizens happier, A lady can walk our streets now without Tear of being offended and insulted by staggering, swearing, half crazed men. The negroes at our last election, after we had tried prohibition for one year, voted very largely to sustain it. I know negroes in our town who had hogs to kill last fall, who were never known to do such a thing before, Negroes who used to lie around town waiting for ten c< nt jobs that they might get a drink of whisky, now do regular work and provide for the wants of their fami lies. No, sir, we do not want any more whisky sold in our town. I am a merchant, and I know that it does not injure U 9 in a business point of view. lam very sure our town is better and more prosperous, and I shall hail the day with a glad heart that banishes whisky from Georgia.” We were impressed with the earn estness of this honest, intelligent man’s talk, and we are sure there is a growing sentiment on tbe part of the more thoughtful aud intelligent of our people to save their boys and young men from the terrible temp tation of bai rooms. This will be a live issue before the people of Bartow before the year is over, and one of graver importance will rarely be pre sented. We took a run up to Adairsville a few days ago, and w saw a great many things that were pleasant to look upon. We saw a clean, thriv ing, prosperous town of about 600 in habitants. We saw a cotton factory in which spindles were running and looms were thumping. (We will have more to say of this in another article.) We saw the largest mer chant flouring mill in north Georgia. We saw the beautiful valley of Ooth caioga which surrounds the town,than which there is not a more fertile or productive body of land in the south. We saw field after field of sprouting wheat just tinting the brown land with green. We saw barn after barn full to overflowing with clover hay. In fact we saw a thriving town and a prosperous country. We love to go to Adairsville, perhaps that is very natural, as there are a great many inducements there to us. But we love to go more particularly because it is the place of our nativity and the home of our childhood. The old house where we were born still stauds there, to remind us, when we return, of happy days. We love to go and sit there for an hour or two, under the old oak tree by the well, and live over the past. The sun shine seems to be warmer there than any where else, and the blue moun tains that stretch away towards the east seem to be more beautiful. There is a sacredness about the old place that renders every oojeet dear to us. Even the old peach tree from the branches of which we have received many lasting impressions, has grown now to be an object of leader re gard Then there is the old fence row, along the panels of which we have so many times called up from their little rounded holes in the ground those old time doodles. We can even now remember, and almost hear that low, tnonotonous call as it came up from the fence corner in pleading tones, “Doodle! doodle! doodle!” and we can see the little red-headed, freckle-face boy as became tenderly along down the dusty lace, with one suspender down and one breeches leg roiled up to his knee and a triumphant look in his eye, with a handful of doodles. We could almost wish sometimes to be that boy again. But we are making an unpardonable digression. We intend to say more of Adairsville,its Industries, and its prospects, but we row defer this for another time. You don’t wonder that we love Adairsville, do you? “Home, home, sweet, sweet home!” The Tattler was reading a book the other night—Campbell’s poems we believe—and our eye fell on the following verses: I bad a heart that doted once on passion’s boundless pain, And though the tyrant 1 abjnred I could not break his chain; Bat now that Fancy’s Are is quenched and cannot burn anew, I’ve bid to lore for all my life, Adien, Adieu, Adieu! I’ve known, if ever moital knew, the spells of Beauty’s thrall. And if my song has told them not my sonl has felt them them all. But passion robs my peace no more, and beau ties witching sway Is now to me a star that’s fallen —a dream that’s passed awsy. Hail! welcome tide o( life where no tumnl tuous billows roll! How wondrous to myself appears this halcy on calm of aoul! Tbe wearied bird blown o’er the deep would sooner quit its shore. Than I won Id cross tbe gnlf again that time has brought me o’er. Why say they Angels feel the flame? Oh spir its of tbe skies! Can love like ours that dotes on dust iu heav enly bosoms rise? Ah, no! the hearts that best have felt its pow er, the best can tell That peace on Earth itself begine when love has bid farewell. We have an idea that the fellow who wrote this had been desperately in love but his girl had “kicked” him, and he was trying te “brace up Simmy”and cnnviocehimselfthat he didn’t care. We may be mistaken in this. Joe Moon says il is a favorite poem of his,an reflects his sentiments exactly, and nobody would suspect for a moment that Joe hud ever been ‘•left” in the love business. It’s very fine poetry, but we shall not paste it in our hats for reference. We’ll bet the fellow who wrote it and who was trying to convince himself that he was very happy, looked like “Pa tience on a monument smiling at Grief.” We don’t want any such philosophy in ours. Give us the warm hearted boy that believes In jove, that has a sweetheart aud is proud of her, that looks forward with a bounding heart and glowing cheeks to the time when she will be the light and life of his home and the joy of his heart. Oh, no, we don’t believe “that peace on earth itself begins where love has bid farewell.” We may be mistaken but “ignorance is bliss” with us, and we don’t care to be made any wiser. Tattle*. NUMBER 42. PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH. To those of our readers who are in terested in the future welfare of our dear old southland, the following ed itorial from the Manufacturers Reo ord, a weekly journal published in Baltimore, Md # , and devoted to the manufacturing interest of the country at Urge, will be highly enooaraging. Let those who are skeptical in regard to southern progress divest them selves of their incredulity, for the at mosphere is literally filled with straws —in fact with sapplings—indicating the direotion of the winds. “The rapid development of the south, aud the progress of new enter prises in that section at a time when bu&iness is so quiet in other parts of the country, is well calculated to at tract the attention of thinking men throughout the world. That an in dustrial revolution of vast extent is in progress cannot be questioned, and we believe that its force will be tar greater than the business men of the country have any couception of. In fact the people of the south have not yet realised the ningnifioent future to which tbwir country is so rapidly has tening “That the industrial interests of the north are to be destroyed we do not believe, nor would ouch a national lose be of hem fit to the south. But the most rapid progress tvi.l hereafter be found not in the north nor iu the west, but in the south, and much of the cap ital and enterprise now invested in t hose sections will soon he found diift ing to the southern states. In fact, this is already in progress, and the signs of the times ail point to the in vestment of enormous amounts of out side capital in southern industries within the next few years. Uuder the heading “Construction Department*' we give every week In the Manufac turers’ Record a fall list of ell new in dustiial enterprises of every kind to be started in the south, giving the location aud the names of the pro jectors. “This list is of remarkable interest, as it gives each week an important chapter in the history of southern progress. It te Is exactly what is being dooe in tbst section, and, as closely as we have watched the development of the south, we confess that we are sur prised week after week at the number and magnitude of the enterprises es tablished there. “Within the last few weeks we have reported the organization of new cotton milla, woolen mills, saw mills, cotton-seed oil milla. machine shops, mining companies, >ads, and in fact almost every kiSti of industrial enterprises, the construction and op eration of which will require many millions and teus of millions of dollars. The most enthusiastic friend of the south could hardly ask for a grander and more glorious future than to which the southern states are so rap idly hastening.” INJUSTICE TO JEFF DAVIS. The people of the south have a pro* found respect and affection for Mr. Davis, but it sometimes crops out in the wrong direction. The legislature of Mississippi has invited him to ds liver an address oo Sargent S. Pren tiss. Of course Mr. Davis cannot comply. He is old and broken down by disease, disappointment and per* secution. Whenever he is invited to make an address, it is the signal for a portion of the northern press to open upon him their batteries of bil ltngrgate. He should not be expos ed to this ordeal. Sargent S. Pren tiss has been dead these many years. Two biographies of him have been published. In the Mississippi valley there are men who have preserved the traditions of his every act and speech.
