When a woman wears a corset,

Taking booze and getting tight.

Capt. D. W. K. Peacock has been
appointed commissioner for Bartow
county to attend the “World’s indus
trial cotton exposition” at New
Orleans. No wiser selection could
have been made, for no man in Bar
tow county is better informed as to
our resources, than Capt. Peocock,
and no one has the good of the coun
ty more at heart than he.
Much damage was done in Ala
bama by the recent heavy Hoods.
At Anniston the railroads, depots,
and the foundry, which are located
in the lowest portion of the town,
were considerably damaged. As for
Oxana, it is a fortunate thing that
this town was built on paper. The
main thoroughfare, a large slough,
called an avenue, preceded by some
high-sounding name, was equal to a
surging liver.
The elegant new register at the
St. James hotel is a credit to the ho
tel. That portion of the register
whereon is printed the “location”
of important places, begins thus:
“Cartersville is the capital of Bartow
county, the garden spot of Georgia,
the banner state of the union.” In
another place it says: “Good streets
and pavements lead to the various
churches. The traveller will find
the town a pleasant place to spend
Sunday. Besides the many attiac
tions of the Etowah valley, the St.
James hotel offers special low rates
to commercial mco oo Sunday.

The flood last week uncovered an
Indian graveyard in Henry Tumlin’s
field. No one knew that a burial
place was in that field, but the recent
washings of the flood have discover
ed piects of skeletons, Indian pots,
etc., plainly indicating that there
the aborigines of this country buried
their dead.
Oar Vlly Last Sight.
I It is with honesty that we say
“Our Nelly” was good last evening.
Indeed quite an improvement on
the performance of last Tuesday
night. Tiie audience was small but
appreciative. It is no exageration to
say that Cartersville has never wit
nessed a better amateur performance
than the one last night. We con
gratulate each and every mem
ber of the troupo on their complete
success.
The “Merry Makers;Minstrels”will
make it lively for Friday night next.
They play for the beuefitof the Meth
odist church. Be sure and go.
Memorial I>ay at Rome.
The Ladies Memorial Association
have decided to postpone the dec
oration of the soldiers’ graves until
the 10th of May, on account of the
scarcity of flowers. Mr.JohnW.Akin
of Cartersville, has accepted the in
vitation to deliver an address. He
says in his letter of the 11th iust: “I
will take pleasure in being present
and saying what I can to perpetuate
public interest in acustom which is
honorable in its origin, honoring to
its advocates, and honored of all who
love those martyrs to liberty, whose
death it commemorates. With due
appreciation of the honor conferred,l
am, very respectfully yours,
John W. Akin.
Mrs. T. W. Alexander,
Prtsident L. M. A.
—Rome Courier.
Mr. Akin is one of the most prom
ising young men of the state and a
very entertaining speaker. The la
dies of Rome have made a fine selec
tion and we feel assured that he will
do credit to himself aud hcyior to the
occasion.
The Flood in Allatoona.
We learn that this district suffered
considerably by the heavy rainstorm
last week. The farms were badly
washed, and all work greatly retarded
The county had two bridges washed
off near Aliatoona, but one and per
haps both will be recovered. Mr. T.
C. Moore chairman of the Board of
county commissioners sustained the
heaviest loss of any individual in this
district and we suppose in the coun
ty. His mill, cotton gin, bloomery
and nearly all the machinery was
completely destroyed. Mr, Moore’s
loss including damage to land will
be over S4OOO.
Decoration Day.
The ladies of the Cassville Memo
rial Association have appointed next
Saturday as the time for decorating
the Confederate soldiers’ graves at
that place. This is a beautiful cus
tom, and one worthy of the women
of the south, who established it. It
is to be hoped that our people will
attend, and carry their offering of
flowers.
W. J. Neel has been elected to de
liver the annual address, and has
accepted the invitation.
The Pnblic Bridges.
The county loses only one bridge
of any importance outright—the
Frank Smith bridge in the 17tli dist.
The river bridges stood the test with
out injury, except slight damage to
the approaches which will not
amount to over $25,00
The statement that the Douthitt’s
ferry bridge peers had given away
was a mistake. The peers aud bridge
are all right.
The Etowah river road leading to
the old Cooper works was washed
out badly last v.e°k and will take
considerable work to make it passa
ble.
Jus t received, 500 pieces of new llambuig
which we sell at very low prict s.
SCHFUER BROS.
Flood in Uorkmart.
The people of Rockmart have
never before seen such a rain as fell
there on last Tuesday. The water
stood from three to five feet deep in
the stores and dwelling houses. Men
were seen wading waist deep in
water to rescue their wives and chil
dren from impending death ; aud the
loss of property was really appalling.
The E. & W. railroad was badly
washed.
Simpson’s mill, on Euharlee creek,
a short distance from Rockmart, was
completely washed away by the
high waters, entailing a loss of about
$2,500.
Cochran’s mill, located on the same
stream, was totally destroyed, to
gether with 800 bushels of grain,
which was stored in the building.
The mill itself, one of the most sub
stantial in that section, was valued
at $9,000.
All the bridges over Euharlee
creek were washed away, including
a large new structure just completed,
Swiss Edging, Xrish Print, Torchous-laces,
iu Urge varietiesjust received at cheur Bros.

Amataer prauiaiit Fnttrtaiumrnt.
The Musical and Dramatic Society
gave a most delightful entertain
ment at the Opera House on last
Tuesday evening, for the benefit of
the liDrary. The programe was a
very interesting one, consisting of
duetts,quartettes,song by the L.K. C.
and a two act drama entitled “Our
Nelly.” The L. K. C. elicited en
thusiastic applause when they sung
“Gwine back to Dixie,” indeed, the
young genlemen rendered It in a
manner that would have done credit
to trained minstrels.
Misses May Johnson and Lula
White, in their vocal duet afforded
one of the most pleasant features of
the evening, so charmingly did they
sing it. It is a rare thing to find two
superior voices in an amateur
performance; and the Dramatic So
ciety should feel fortunate in claim
ing them among its members.
The characters in “Our Nelly” were
well cast, Mrs. J. A. Baker assum
ing the role of Mrs. Coddleson, the
mother doting on a weak, overgrown
goslin of a son, in a manner that
would have become a professional.
Mrs. Baker has much histrionic tal
ent, and her acting always meets
with favorable criticism.
Mr. W. H. Best, as Augustus Cod
dleson, acted well the young gentle
man who had overgrown his
strength and who was unconscious
of the fact that the head was intend
ed for the brain.
Frank Anderson, as Giles Freckle
face, a Yorkshire nugget, never ap
peared upon the stage without bring
ing down the audience Frank is a
capital commedian for an amateur,
and with a little more experience
and training he would make an or
nament to the boards.
Mr. J. A. Baker took the charac
ter of Emmet, the scheming father,
to good effect.
Mr. Theo. M. Smith, as Thomas
College, filled the role of the wild,
reckless, scape-grace of a college stu
dent, in a most admirable manner,
and afterwards, the accomplished
doctor and generous, manly, digni
fied landlord, with fine success.
Miss May Johnson, as Miss Thur
low, the honest, frank, open-hearted
girl, too generous to be selfish and
and too brave and independent to be
dependent, played her part with her
usual grace and ease.
Miss Maxcy Field, as Dame Hur
dle, was well received.
Miss Ida Price in the character of
Susan, the saucy servant girl, evinc
ed fine talent. She played her role
for all it was worth, and that too,
with a naturalness and ease that
would have done credit to one more
accustomed to the stage.
Miss Nelia Jones, as Nelly,
the heroine of the play, was a
decided success.
Mr. Walter M. Ryals took the
part of Alfred Emmet,the docile son,
100 proud to work, but ambitious
enough to seeK a fortune through the
hand of some unsuspecting woman.
Mr. ltyals appeared perfectly at
home in this part, aud his elocution
was fine.
Will Montgomery appeared well in
everal minor parts.
The entire performance was a suc
cess, and much appreciated. Our
amateurs have received very favora
ble comment, and we are glad to
know that they will present another
play at no very distant day.

MON*;* TO LOAN.
George H. Aubrey will be found at the law
office of Graham & Graham, in the Court House,
Cartersville, Ua., every Tuesday, Thursday

lands, at a very low rate ©1 interest. m&tf
Insurance.
The fact that the rate of insurance
in the city, runs as high as 4 per cent.,
should bring the authorities to a sense
of the necessities of the people. No
city in Georgia, perhaps in the coun
try, has less appliances for the ex
tinguishment of fires, than we have—
in fact, we have none. The treasury
is in a condition to afford it, and the
authorities should make some pro
vision for the checking of fires. The
cost of four cisterns would be small,
and there are numberless chances to
purchase a hand fire-engine, almost
for the freight charges, and oui citi
zens would be thus roused to the
pitch of competition, to show who
would be the first to answer a fire
alarm. Gentlemen, let us have some
thing in the way of a fire depart,
ment.
Snnlight and Shadow.
At the depot one day last week, a
dilapidated darkey and a more dilap
idated mule, were tussling to obtain
a “posish” to take on a load. The
cart was of ye olden time and plainly
showed hard usage. After fearful
gyrations, such as a circus would be
proud of, the darkey was successful
in landing his mule in a proper po
sition. Tbe mule went to sleep, and
the usual small boy came along and
poked him in the ribs. The mule
was asleep and the boys were bound
to awaken him, so they kicked him
and threw gravel at him, but no
good resulted—just then, one of the
precocious genous picked up an
oyster can and lifting the mule’s
tail placed it where it, the can,
would do the most good, and the
mule—well, he arose in his wrath,
kicked the boy through the platform,
smashed a tierce of lard to atoms,and
flow through the square in a wester
ly direction, leaving ihe driver on
the platform with a bedstead and a
wash-boiler in either hand, singing
“meet ’er w’en de suu goes down.”

Cassville.
Dr. Felton preached an able aud Instructive
sermon here Sunday, April 13th, to a quiet
and attentive audience. Our Sunday School
will picnic Saturday before the first Sunday in
May at Best’s mills. Would’nt the “Tattler”
like to have an invitation? We think he is a
little partial to our neighborhood auyway, and
if he will promise not to tattle too much he
might get one. “The leap year April fool
party” will be dramatised here soon and
shown up in its real light which promises to
be something laughable. Mrs. Lipscomb,
of whom we spoke in-our last article, died
here on the 16th inst. We tender to the be
reaved husband and family our heart-felt sym
pathies. The annual decoration of the
graves of the Confederate soldiers' hare will
take place on Saturday, the 26th inst. All
who leel interested are invited to be present,
Mr. Will J. Neel, of Cartersville, will deliver
an address. Dr. Griffin’s father and mother,
from Walker county', have been spending a
few days with the Doctor. The very heavy
rains that fell Monday and Monday night have
damaged the farmers considerably, washing
their lands aud scattering their fertilizers,
which had been put in broadcast over the
fields. Mr. It. N. Best’s mill dam was washed
away at ore end. The damages were light, I
understand. Mr. John A. Crawford, col
lector ofiuternal revenues, was in our town
Friday relieving the boys of their surplus
change. Col. Sharp, of Cherokee county,
one of the directors of the Kiugstou, Walesca
an& Gaiuesville K. R. now in contemplation,
spent a few hours in our town yesterday. He
is looking out the most direct and available
route for the road. He seems to be in fine
spirits and thinks the road will be built. ——
We were very much gratified to see Miss Geor
gia Gibbons, who hus been sick for some time,
in our village Friday looking 60 well. She is
improving very fast now and we hope to see
her enjoying perfect health soon. There
are two young men of your city who are run
ning this route pretty regularly now. Mr.
Kit Conyers is still improving from the attack
of Biekuess he had last week. Another ne
gro, Sam Robiußon, died here last night.
There are a great many of them being buried

There is water! water! water! everywhere-
The 15th inst., will be a great era in the
i history ol Euharlee The creek was 19 inches
higher than it was during the great freshet
four years ago. At 12 o’clock na. t Mr. Steph
ens had to almost swim his horses to move
out of his bouse. The creek continued to rise
until 10 p. m. It was then running under the
court house. Our little calaboose was com*
pletely hidden from view, aud when the wa.
ters receded the poor little thing was nowhere
to be seen. The greatest loss sustained was
tbe bridge. It made our hearts sod to see such
a hue structure reut into fragments aud car
ried away by the augry waves, 1 his outburst
of the “laughing EuLarlec” gives us a laiut
idea of the great destruction wrought by tbe
overflow of the father of waters. It was
court day here last Saturday and quite a crowd
were iu the village, cousequeutly there was a
good deal of driukiugand some lighting. If
anyoue wishes to see the evil results oi “li
cense” let him come here ou Saturdays and
court days and see what man, the noblest
work of God, cau make of himself. It is sad
to think that a man made in the image of God
aud imbued with rniud aud conscience should
so abuse the taleuts that ood has given him.
It we want good laws and a good country let
us vote for good meu uud put them iuto office
Kingston.
We are lonesome about Kingston and feel
sad; the fearful washouts on the W. dc A.R. R.
have stopped uearly ail the trains. Ouly one
passenger train passes us each way during the
day, aud the saddest part is the death of the
meu. Man can soon repair the road, but he
cannot restore the dead. —The Rome road is
so torn up lhu-j it will require several duys to
repair it. The livery meu of Rome have
established a hack line to carry the mail and
passengers. *Guy Deg and Miss Mattie
Rail were married on the 12th. Miss Anna
Parrott of Calhoun, has been visiting
Mr. J. M. Davidsou aud family. We
have had a very interesting protracted meet

MACHINE.
A Saint I come to everv home,
Aud by my presence cheery,
I banish care, and burdens bear,
Of women worn and weary.
I run so light and look so bright,
The ladies dote upon me.
No noise I make, no threads I break.
Though back and forth you run me.
Through every kind of goods I go.
Silk, muslii, cloth and leather.
Though all machines refuse to sew.
Yet I sew on forever.
No heads I pain, no eyes I strain,
To tlni! the w ay to thread me;
No holes have I, save needle's eye,
To make a cause to dread me.'
I’m cheap and good, and if you should
But for a moment doubt me.
Be sure and try, and then you’ll buy.
And never be without me.
Chorus.—l seam. I hem. I fell, I bind,
I rufile, tuck and gather;
And a!l machines 1 leave behind.
White I sew on lorever.
