Just at this writing, Cartersville
can boast of some of the handsomest
dry goods stores of any city of its
size in Georgia. The only thing
they lack to fill them with admiring
customers is the use of printers ink.
In other words they ought to adver
tise.
A strapping tramp claiming to
be from Jerusalem, was perambulat
ing our streets last Saturday, dressed
in an outlandish costume and beg
ging for money. All such tramping
vagabonds should tie tried lor va

per Georgia, and will smile on his
friends when they go to Atlanta in
search of cheap goods.
The decision of the Supreme
court in the famous Shorter will case

nounced in May. This is a case in
which much interest has been mani

rendering adecisiou. It Is an im
portant case, however, and the ques
tions involved require much inves

Letter From W. F. €orUn.
Editors American — I have re
cently been invited by some of our
leading citizens to meet with them
for the purpose of organizing a socie
ty encouraging immigration toßartow
county, and for other purposes. On
account of being behind with my
crop, And the day appointed for the
meeting being a favorable one for
farm work, I did not attend, but
would have been pleased to be there.
While I differ with some of my
friends as to what kind of an organi
zation would best promote our mate
rial and social interests, yet I feel as
sured that something ought to be
lone. The most important thing to
be done, and done first, is to endeav
or to reform the citizens we now
have; and I do think if all those in
l'avor of peace and good order through
out this country would unite their
efforts in some way to restrain all
kinds of wicked and immoral con
duct, first by moral suasion, and
when that utterly fails, then apply
the law, thus showing to those who
disregard law and order that they
are determined to put a stop to such
things ; and also encourage the set
tling of all matters of difference be
tween neighbors without resorting to
law’, thus saving court expenses and
relieving us of some of tlie burdens
of taxation; and also endeavor to
iiiake right principles and good mor
als popular, and try to root out all
bitterness and old grudges betw’een
neighbors and bring the people to
gether upon principles of truth and
justice, that something of this kind
would really be of more benefit to
our people, and at the same time be
more encouragement to other good
citizens to come and settle among us,
than any other step we could take at
this time. Let us carefully consider
this matter and try to start right.
When we get right ourselves, others
will have faith In the promises we
hold out to them.
Very respectfully,
W. K. Corbin.

This admirable troupe, composed
entirely of home talent, gave an en
tertainment at tho opera house last
Friday nierht. The performance had
been well advertised, and the large
audience who assembled in the hall
were prepared for a clever show, but
notwithstanding thefact tbatexpecta
tion ran high on the part of our citi
zens, they were most agreeably sur
prised. The boys fairly took < the
house by storm and held their un
divided attention until the last cur
tain was rung down. We have heard
many expressions of a complimentary
nature from those who are competent
judges of such a performance. We
have not space to mention the young
men in detail, but we cannot refrain
from commanding the admirable act
ing of Frank Anderson and Will
Skinner. They take to the stage as
naturally as a duck takes to water. It
is no flattery to say that the boys
covered themselves with honors—
and flowers, too. We repeat that the
show was good, aud reflects credit on
our boys. The music was fine, and
added much to the evening’s pleas
ure.

Several of our citizens are having
cyclone pits dug The recent rain
storm did no very serious damage
around here The Polytechnic soci
ety, composed of our best young men,
meets every Friday night at the acad
emy. Their discussions are spirited
and interesting. The last question
discussed, to-wit: “Resolved, that
the discovery of steam has been more
beneficial to the human race than the
invention of printing,” was gained
by the negative An election was
held last week for captain of the

much pleased with the country
Mr. Scott Hunt has retired to the

Independent occupation of farming.
Mrs. Alf llilburn has been very

April, at the residence of the bride’s
father near Adairsville, Miss Rosa
F. Martin to Mr. D. P. Kenyon, of

happiness. Mattie Lee Price was
billed for our town last night. Will
tell you about her next time A
close observer might have seen the
“bell” of Cleveland, Tenn., on our
streets last Saturday morning
Last week a photographer’s tent wag
on passed this way, and a little five
year old boy, curious to see what
sort of anew fangled vehicle it was,
was peering curiously at it from the
crack of the fence, The driver yelled
at the rustic infant that he was en
route to heaven and extended an in
vitation to Albert to join him. The
little fellow chirped out that he was
not quite ready and besides he didn’t
want to go by that route.
Broken Arrow,
The hardest rain and hail ever fell to
the earth must have fallen at Broken
Arrow on tho 14th inst A reliable
man from Talladega, Ala., said that
the railroad starting near his place
would certainly make itsappearance at
Broken Arrow by the Ist cf Septem
ber I notice from the Cartersville
papers that the Cherokee railroad
shops of Cedartown, Ga., are to be
moved, either to Broken Arrow or
Cartersville. If the company that
owns the shops would meditate a
while they will certainly move to
Broken Arrow, because they own
all the land here which is the most
valuable miueral land in existence.
As for water,a creek runs through the
place; as for health, people have to
leave here to die The drummers
are through our town every day. I
think they will rejoice when the E.
& W. railroad gets through to Bir
mingham, so they can sell goods to
merchants along the line L. D.
Carse left this place owing the peo

and a pair of shoes he had borrowed.
We hope he may be caught.

Sixth District.
We have quite an abundance of
rain this week. Until yesterday
morning the farmers seemed sad,but
the beautiful sunshine soon arrested
their drooping. This morning the
sun seems to shine brighter than
usual, and the “haw” and the ‘ gee”
and the “go on,Beck,”and the “come
here, Joe,” are heard through the
vicinity. It is said that the darkest
night brings the brightest dawn, so,
perhaps, the lagt gloomy, rainy,
sloshy day may bring beautiful days.
The public debate last Thursday
night, given by Prof. Hendricks and
the young men of the Cedar Creek
high school, was well attended,andthe
discussion was very interesting. The
debators well acquitted themselves.
Their speeches would do credit to
much older heads who have consider
able experience. But four of the young
men and Mr, Hendricks took part.
T. J. Laytou, being unable and not
prepared, was excused Uncle
Jimmie Bartow, the noblest farmer
of the sixth, is very ill Mrs. Johu
Anderson has been quite ill for
several days past but is now conva
lescent Mr. Anderson has on hand
a beautiful variety of spring goods,
which will, perhaps, bring the smiles
from the girls of the sixth.

A Saint I come to every home.
And by my presence cheery,
I banish care, and burdens boar,
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 buck and forth yon run me.
Through every kind of goods I go,
Silk, muslir, cloth aud leather,
Though all machines refuse to sew,
Vet I sew on forever,
No heads I pain, no eyes I strain,
To llnd the way to thread me;
No hoies 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 aud try, and then you’ll buy,
And never be without me.
