Mr. Hasty and Miss Bryson were made ever
lastingly one Sunday evening last. Esquire
Shaw tied the uuptiai knot to a short metre
tune. Henceforth they will lie down auder
the same vine and fig tree, or words to that
effect.
We received last week a communication
signed “Casaville.” We have a rule that for
bids our publishing auy thing the authors
name being unknown to us. “Cassville”
writes a very creditable communication, and
we would be giad to hear from him every
week, if he will only let us kuow who he is.
John W. L. Brown has been appointed road
overseer. He knows exactly how to boss a
farm, and we guess he can oversee a road. He
will immortalize himself and bring the whole
community under obligations to him if Jtie will
make one good road iu the county.
Why can’t people swiug their gates to opeu
on the inside. We wore coming down the
street the other night at something like a 2:40
pace. We didn’t know the gate was there
till we tried to pick ourselves up from the
mud. Ob, no, we didn’t say anything, but
we thought—well, wc thought we saw a thou
sand stars.
Tbe’R. H. Jones & Sons’ manufacturing
company is how fully organized and ready for

/ Prof. L. C. Dickey, formerly principal of the\
Adairsville high school, and well known to
many of our readers, is now professor pf bis
tory and English literature in the Southern
University, Greensboro, Ala, Prof. Dickey is
•v i.e of tho udeutsU and rising young educa-
tors of tlie south, ar.d we are gratified to kuow
of his success. He displays his good taste by
subscribing for the American.
The smile that burst from Shelby Attaway's
profoutidest depths last Thursday morning
when he opened his mail and read Lis valen
tine, sounded like a horse and wagon running
away on a pike read. We have no idea what
was in the valentine, but his merriment broke
loose and! fairly deluged tbs town.
Spring is coming. We know because tin#
red-breasted robins are here, the doves are
cooing, the snakes arc beginning to move, the
bleat of the lambs are heard in the laud, the
faint odor of the violet creeps up on the eve
ning air, and that detestible old corn on our
toe feels like it was sprouting.
It is with no small degree of satisfaction
that we note the continuously increasing cir
culation of the American. We have recent
ly met. with great encouragement, and our
friends seem to appreciate the Cline wc are
making to give them a readable paper. Our
subscription list is constantly increasing.
Mr. Howard Harris has recently sold out
his interests in Cartersville, and will move to
Texas in a few days. He is a good citi/.- ti
and we regret to lose him from our -tan.-. H e
wish him great prosperity and much success
in his new field, and commend him to the
people among whom he may cast his lot.
The good people of the seventeenth district
want a bridge over the Etowah river, either at
Rich’s or Milam’s ferry. We think they are
entitled to this, aud should have it as soon as
the finances of the county will justify its erec
tion. It would add greatly to the convenience
ofaLirgeand wealthy portion of our county
as well as help the trade of Cartersville.
One of our grocery merchants reports that lie
has sold over one hundred barrels of syrup in
the last sixty days. Cartersville is growing to be
quite a distributing point. These evideuces
of prosperity are always noted with pleas
ure. Our city is slowly but surely climbing up,
and before we are five years older we expect
to have 5,000 inhabitants. Oh, no! we are
not bragging. Facts! facts I
Mr. John L. McConnell is erecting and will
soon have in operation a planing mill on
Leake street, near his residence. The mill
will perhaps start next week. It will be run
by a 20-horse power engine, aud have a capa
city for plauing thousands of feet of lumber
per day. Mr. McConnell will run a corn cus
tom mil] in connection with his works as soon
as he gels in good working condition.
Will Camp was here again last week. Ev
erybody knows that Will sells groceries lo
Oglesby & Meador, but the impression pre
vails here that more important business than
Silling meat and sugar and coffee brings him
to Cartersville so often. We know a certain
young lawyer in town who is green-eyed on
account of these frequent camping excursions
Mr. D. W. Curry’s bird dog, Fauny, at
tempted to committed suicide last Saturday
morning, or at least she was discovered sneak
ing out of the drug store with a hottle of lau
danum in her mouth, and wo can’t imagine
any other use she could have for it except to
terminate her troubles in death. It would
seem that dogs are getting to be as silly as
some men,
We are glad to know that Col. Tom Moore,
of Allatoona, is recovering. He received a
fall several days ago while undertaking to
jump from the train while in motion, inflict
ing injuries of a very serious nature. Some
of the veins in his neck were ruptured and an
ugly gash made on his head. For a time bis
friends feared that his recovery was doubtful,
but he is now considered out of danger aud
will soon be well, we hope.
Five negroes aud one white man left our
jail last week for the Georgia penitentiary.
The aggregate time for which they were sen
tenced is 27 years, distributed as follows;
George Reed, col., 2 years, Bob Smith, col., 2
years, Joe Moore, col., (5 years, Sam Cannon,
col., 0 years, Jessie. Harris, col., 0 years and
Carey Penley, white, 5 years. All convicted
at the last term of court, aud tlie crime charg
ed in each case, we believe, was some sort of
stealiug.
The services at the youug men’s prayer
meeting on last Thursday evening at the
Methodist church were very pleasant and in
strnctive. The meeting was led by Mr. Lee
Trammell, and entertaining talks were made
by Mr. John Head, Mr. Fletcher Walton, Rev.
Mr. Robbins and Mr. Theo. M. Smith. These
meetings are held regularly on Tburs lay
night at the Methodist church, and at two
o’clock on Sunday afternoon at the Baptist
church.
Judge J. B. Estes, of the north-eastern cir
cuit, was iu the city latt Saturday hearing the
motion to enter up judgment nunc pro tunc
on a verdict rendered some years ago discharg
ing John A. Erwin, now deceased, from the
joint administration of the Tumlin estate. Af.
ter hearing argument of counsel, Judge Estes
deeided that the judgment could be entered
up. Judge Fai was disqualified iu this ease,
owiug to relationship with some of the bouds
men.
Bob Pattillo says he don’t see how it is
that everybody smiles when they meet him
on the street. He says people meet him on
the streets, shake hands, and call him “Mr.
Barnum,” or “Mr. Robinson,” and then apol
ogize for the mistake, and laugh like they had
said something funny. “I’ll tell you wliat’s
a tact,” said Mr. Pattillo, iu his quick-motioned
nervous way, “Pm getting mighty sick of this
thifig. I’m too old to cry, aud can’t see any
thing to laugh at. I’ll throw a barrel of Irish
potatoes at the next fellow who comes into
my store and asks me about the show business
or whistles a circus tune.”
Mr. Henry Tumlin returned from the Geor
gia agricultural convention much pleased with
his trip. He says those south Georgia fellows
looked incredulous when he told them we
could make from one to two bales cf cotton
per acre in Bartow county. They wanted to
kuow how many acres it took to taise him,
and he told them he grew on less than au
acre, that he was considered a small sized
man in his county, and that everything grew
in proportion to the men. lleury tips the
beam, you know, at something like 350, Hen
ry says his refreshments cost him nothing af
ter that.
Fatal Accident.
Just before going to press we learn
from Mr. Miles G. Dobbins, jr., of a
fatal accident that occurred at the
Dobbins,ore mine, a few miles east
of town. The bank caved in at 2:30
o’clock yesterday, killing a negro
man named Jessie Minims instantly,
and fatally wounding Taylor Buford,
another negro man, whose recovery
i3 considered impossible. Miles Dob
bins was in tbe mine at the time,and
barely had time to escape before the
dirt fell in. The recent heavy rains
caused the banks of the mine to give
way, with the fatal results as above
stated.
Yankee Robinson's Double Show
Tbs lovers of fun can have #u opportuulty
of enjeying theinseivea to-night. Yankee
Robinson’s comedy compauy wii! give one of
their inimitable entertainment, at onr opera
house. Being ODe of the oldest aud most
successful showmen in the country, it is use
less for ns to sy much. The following, from
the .Joueeboro (Ark.,) Democrat, is sufficient
endorsement:
“We notice onr exchanges speak in the
highest terms of the world-renowned Aoifc
man, actor, and author, the original and only
Yankee Robinson and his talented company
of artists. We visited his entertainment last
night, and saw Yankee Robinson in his great
creation of Darias Dutton in the Romantic
Border Drama of the days ol seventy-six, in
which he has the very proud record of having
played in ail the principal cities on this con
tinent very many star engagements, in all,
over five thousand times. No artist can show
snch a proud record. It has rendered his
name tsecoud to no man living throughout
the civilized world.”
The following we clip from the W T est
Plains Mo., Journal: “Very similar to many of
our contemporaries, all of which we heartily
endorse, so also, does the large assemblage
of our leading families who where present
last Dight. Yankee Robinson’s double show'
was here Jut week, giving several exhibitions
to the eminent satisfaction of the large num
ber in at t den dance. It was voted to be the best
thing of the kind whichever visited West
Plains.”
A Successful Farmer
Mr. Arthur Davis i3 the most suc
cessful farmer in Bartow County. It
was a refreshing sight to see the long
line of wagons drawn up to the depot
last Friday evening and deposit their
burden of the fleecy staple, yclept the
king of the south. Mr. Davis deliv
ered at the depot sixty-five bales of
cotton on that day, for which he re
ceived an average of ten cents per
pound, and perhaps for some of it a
little more than that. Besides mak
ing from one to two hundred bales of
cotton per year, Mr. Davis generally
makes wheat to sell, and corn and oats
and meat euough to do him. He
came here after the war as a renter,
has been farming e ver since, and now
owns a farm worth from 120,000 to
$30,000, all made by farming, and yet
our young men go west! Go to work!
Go to work!
Moon Stuck.
Our paragrapher dropped in at Cur
ry’s store the other night to swap a
few remarks with the handsome four.
Walt Headden was standing at the
east window, intently gazing at the
head-light of a locomotive, with his
hand resting on his centre of circula.
tion, and a silla(bub) expression on
his face, “Isn’t the moon beautiful
to-night?” said he, lifting his finger
in a tragic way and pointing to the
headlight of the engine. It was
cruel to laugh, but it had to come, and
three'of the handsome four made it
roar, while Walt joined in with what
Skcet Attaway calls a “dry smile.”
Cobb says that Walt has these spells
right often but they are worse just
after be returns from a trip down the
Cherokee road. The te-sthetic name
of the disease in the “ lunar weakness,”
but “moon stuck” is a stronger term.
That boy needs attention. He is in
a critical condition.
T. Warren Akin.
We learn from the Bartow’ (Fla.,)
Informant that Mr.T. Warren Akin,
formerly of this city, has located in
Jacksonville, Fla,, where he will en
ter the practice of his profession. Mr.
Akin was for many years an active
practitioner at the Cartersville bar,
and ranked with the very best law
yers in the state. He is a close stu
dent, a clear thinker, a forcible
speaker, and a strong ad vocate before
a jury. He is a man of high integri
ty and strong convictions,aud is sure
to push hiinseif to the front as a law
yer in his new field of action. Col.
Akin has the good wishes of a host
of friends in Cartersville, who will
always be glad to hear of his success.
We commend him and his accom
plished wife to th 9 people of Jack
vide as worthy of their fullest confi
dence and esteem.

What hss gone with our prayer
meeting on Wednesday night? Why
don’t we attend the Sunday school?
Nothing adds to a town more than
its literary and religious facilities.
We have plenty of good schools, but
our church privileges are lamentably
deficient. We need more churches.
To think of a town that makes any
pretentions towards morality and re
ligion, having but one church. It is
an evident fact that a moral, religious,
church-going people are more signal
ly successful and paosperous than
those who not. Why don’t our ciii
zens take more interest in trying to
build churches in our midst? Where
are the children, and what are they
doing on the Sabbath when there is
no Sunday school or services of auy
kind to attend? What can we ex
pect the rising generation, reared
under such influences to be? Noth
very good or great. ‘‘No man liveth
to himself,” Everytning leaves a
history and an influence. What we
say,is transmitted In echoes that will
never cease. What we do, is trans
acted on a stage of which the whole
world are spectators. The spebrine
which we act may be small or it may
be great. It may be a fireside, or it
may be a village, or a kingdom, or a
great nation, but act we do, and that
ceaselessly and forever. Since, then,
we all exert a personal influence, our
word.-, and more especially our acts,
ieavo an indelible trace,it is our duty
to make that influence as potential for
good as possibi;. *The best inherit
ance patients can btqueath to their
children is a virtuous example, a
hallowed remembrance, and associa
tion. Then let them be taught to
attend church, prayer meeting and
Sunday school, not only qy precept,
but by example. ’Puella.
Allatoona Air-Bubbles.
Saturday was justice court day.
Col. Tom Moore is able to be out
again. He says the train was going

miles an hour when he jumped off.
Lewis Erwin was shaking hands
with his friends in Allatoona last
Saturday. He speaks of moving to

Joe Northcutt, cf Acworth, was

Two of the editors of the Ameri
can were on opposite sides of a case
in court here last Saturday. It seem
ed to be a three handed game in
which M*j. Foute also took an occa
sional term. We don’t know how
the case terminated, but the boyt*
made it lively for a while.
We begin to feel like we belonged
to Bartow’ county now, that we have
a bridge to connect us with Carters
ville. We feel that Allatoona has
been for a long time neglected, and
we very greatly appreciate the ac
tion of the grand jury aud the county
commissioners in giving us a free
bridge.
Allatoona has a constable w r ho
holds his office by right of prescrip
tion, having held it continuously and
peaceably for more than twenty
years. This is another way of saying
that he is one of the best constables
in the state. His name is George
Washington Tumlin.

Important to Farmers,
Farmers are beginning to learu that there is
as much differcnc in guano as there is in any
thing else. And as every man is not a chem
ist to judge in selecting his brand, the eafest.
plan is to buy only from deader# who are
honest and will not misrepresent the quality
of the guano they sell. We confidently rec
coramend Mr. J. C. Milam as a faithful,honest
capable businsss man. He has been in the
gnano business for several yeirg, and is fa
miliar with the brands best suited to our soil
and climate. He will sell the coming season
nothing but standard guanos, and the plauters
of this section will maka it to their interest
to consult him before making their purchases.
