TUESDA \ , JUNE 10,1884.
President Arthur will have time
enough next spring.
The republican party is in agony with
its jumping Jim Blaiue toothache.
Atlanta has certainly been brought to
with a jerk on the walking match Craze.
Mrs. Logan says if she can t be tirst,
she guesses she can be second. Hurrah
for Mm. Logan !
The dark homes did not trot well at
the late convention. Perhaps they will
do better next time.
Senator Brown’s late speech on the
“bigamy bill,” is like all of his speeches
—able and convincing.
The “dark horse” administration is
nearly ended. At this let us all rejoice
and be exceeding glad.
It is now put beyond peradventure
that Hr. Felton will represent Bartow
county in the legislature.
The nomination of Blaine puts grand
old Virginia squarely and firmly back
into the democratic party.
It is about time for the Tilden boom
to collapse. The “old sage” will never
be president of the United States.
Historians and grammarians have at
last succeeded in scoring one success.
Blaine and Logan should feel very grate
ful. _
The Constitution in its new dress looks
like a genuine metropolitan paper. It
continues to flourish like a green bay
tree.
Henry Grady’s pen pictures of the
Chicago convention were splendid. V f
enjoyed reading them very much in
deed.
We wonder if Conkling will take
Blaiue to his bosom now? If he does,
we imagine that he will make a very
wry face.
The oflice-holding republicans in the
south are not very enthusiastic over
Blaine’s nomination. They will go
whether Blaine is elected or not.
Gen. Teeumseh Sherman does not
like the water plugs in St. Louis. It is
thought that he will leave that city on
account of the high price of water.
Johnny Logan says that he is going to
“raise Cain,” grammar or no grammar,
when he gets fairly under way on his
campaign tour. Hurrah for Jolmny !
— -
Atlanta went over to Macon last Sat
urday to show this latter city how r to
walk. She went back home thoroughly
satisfied that Macon w T as just one notch
too high for her.
The hotel keepers in Chicago will have
another fine chance in about a month.
Atlanta ought to have the next conven
tion. The new Kimball will be comple
ted by that time, w e suppose.
It is said that president Arthur is very
angry and very miserable. He and his
much beloved colored friends of the
south heartily sympathize W’th each
other in their sore disappointment.
Tilden will probably be nominated,
but there are grave doubts as to wii eth
er he will accept. Why not nominate
Bayard ? He would accept, and lie
would take his seat next March, too.
John Sherman failed to arouse just a
little enthusiasm at the Chicago conven
tion by referring to the Danville and
Copiah mob. He and his little ensan
guined ftg tumbled into the background.
Bill Mahone, that rascally little rene
gade, has been completely squelched at
last. The lusty huzzas for Blaine at tlie
Chicago convention must have sounded
like harshly grating thunder on his dear
little ears.
The “colored contingent” from the
south is just getting home from Chicago.
He looks sad, very sad. His legs are
weak, his eyes blank and rolling, his
fingers tw 7 itcli disappointedly, uncanny
aud very dry smiles play around his
mouth, and he wears an expression as
forlorn as it is pitiable.
Soon, very soon, will tlie annual col
lege commencements hurst upon us,
when the shades of Calhoun, Clay and
Webster will be made ashamed of them
selves, and the gay little college girl will
be richly described in the daily papers.
The people continue to flock to these
gatherings, only to make martyrs of
themselves.
THE REPIBLICAN PLATFORM.
The platform announced by the late
Chicago convention is like unto all the
preceding ones. It contains a profusion
of promises that cannot be fulfilled. For
a party that lias been in power for twen
ty-four years, and, that has been making
promises only to break them during all
this time, to say that its legislation shall
be of benefit to the working man and to
the country at large, is as absurd as it is
silly. Nobody is going to believe it.
This platform favors a high protective
tariff, that our industries may be foster
ed and our laborers encouraged. It goes
further and declares against Chinese im
migration.
But all of these blustering promises
are made simply to catch votes. The
republican party has no more idea of
fulfilling these promises as made in their
Chicago platform, than they have of al
lowing a democrat to take his seat if
elected by a small majority.

M R SCHOOL HOI SES.
We offer no apology for again referring
to the snbjetf of dartersvilie’s miserable
school houses. It is a subject in which
all of us ave interested, either directly or
prospectively, and is not only worthy of,
but demands our earnest consideration.
It is a source of mortification to every
true citizen of the town that we have no
school house that is worthy to be called
such. We have many things in Carters
ville to be proud of, many things ot
which w e can justly boast, but of our
school houses—or rather our lack of
school houses—we should honestly be
ashamed. There is no reason under the
sun why we might not build a five thou -
sand dollar school house. It certainly is
not because we are too poor. It is not
because we have not children enough to
fill it. It is not because we do not need
it! We venture the assertion there is
not another town of Cartersville’s size in
Georgia tliat cannot boast of a respecta
ble school house building. Tt is wrong,
almost criminally wrong, to make deli
cate children sit in open, leakey, tumble
down school houses, on board benches,
through the heat of summer and the cold
cf winter, year in and year out.
We appeal to every man who has a
child to educate, to every citizen who
has the good of the town at heart, to
wake up and help build a school house
in Cartersville. We do not offer any
suggestions for the plan to pursue. We
simply desire to fix public attention on
this subject and get the ball in motion.
We can never hope to be anything more
than an old, poky, pulseless country
town while we neglect to build a respect
able school house. In the name of pub
lic policy, in the name of our future
prosperity, in the name of the teachers
who labor so earnestly, in the name of
the suffering children who arc helpless
victims, and in the name of common de
cency aud self-respect, w T e appeal to the
fathers of the town to think about and
act on this subject.
HI. A INK AM) LOGAN.
Last Friday, June 6th, the national
republican convention at Chicago nomi
nated Hon. James G. Blaine for presi
dent and Hon. John A. Logan for vice
president of the United States, This
makes a very strong ticket, and one that
will be hard to defeat next November.
Since Garfield’s death Blaine has
been working for the nomination; and,
although he did not openly solicit votes,
yet he was, at all times, a keen aspirant.
He is a bold, dashing, brilliant man, and
he has a record as valuable as it is bril
liant. He has defeated the stalwart fac
tion of the republican party. This fac
tion is a very strong one, and bitterly
fought his nomination. He was respon
sible for Conkliug’s overthrow and hu
miliation. He will not be able to carry
New York, New Jersey or Indiana, and
it is probable that he will not be able to
carry a single one of the pivotal states.
His campaign will be a dashing and daz
zling one, if we are to be allowed to
judge from his public career. He is,
beyond a doubt, the most popular man
in his party, but he is not a safe leader.
Strong minded business men will not be
willing to follow his leadership.
Logan’s name will not strengthen the
ticket. He is senior senator from Illi
nois, which state would be carried by
the republicans with anybody.
The southern delegates at the con
vention were enthusiastic for Arthur.
With all of his machine power Arthur
was distanced by Blaine, who had noth
ing to assist him but his innate tact aud
inbred brilliancy. To the sable, and now
disgruntled, republicans of the south,
Blaine owes nothing.
oi r SCHOOLS.
The closing exercises of the various
schools in Cartersville have demonstrated
beyond any sort of a doubt that we have
a corps of teachers in our midst who are
earnest, energetic, painstaking and thor
oughly competent. The physical, moral
and mental training of our children is in
safe hands. No labor has been spared,
no pains withheld, to give Cartersville
as good schools as any city in Georgia.
Any one who has attended the public
examinations at the different places where
schools are taught in the city, or who
lias witnessed the concerts and enter
tainments given at the opera house, will
heartily endorse what we here say. Not
only have the minds of the little ones
been cared for, but the morals have also
been jealously guarded, and to-day we
defy any town of the same size in Geor
gia to present a more polished, refined
or truly educated set of children than
can be found here. We are proud of
this, and to boast of it is pardonable.
The hope of our fair little city is centered
in these children, and it is gratifying to
think that hope will not be disappointed.
The duty of developing these brilliant
young minds rests largely with the school
teachers. They are equal to the respon
sibility and will not disappoint our hopes.
We give our teachers and the children
praise. Laboring, as they have, under
difficulties, their success is almost incom
prehensible.
The people of Bartow county will
never have a better opportunity of dis
playing to the world our illimitable re
sources, than will be afforded them at
tire New Orleans exposition. Let us
make such an exhibit as will show to
the capitalists of other countries that we
possess one of the garden spots of the
world.

BARTOW’S EXHIBITS.
The following is recommended as the
proper way in which to present agricul
tural products at the New Orleans oxjxv
sition:
The small grains should be exhibited,
threshed and in the sheaf. Corn shelled,
in the ear, and in the shuck. Grasses,
wild and tame, in bales and sheaves.
Pull the grass up by the roots.
Forestry, farm, and garden seed in
glass show lH>ttles.
Collective exhibits si towing all the
preparations and products of each agri
cultural plant. For example, from the
cotton plant, the fibre; the oil, cake,
meal, hull ashes from the seed; fibre
prepared from the stalk and representa
tive cotton manufactures.
Rice, wheat, oats, rye, barley, etc.,
and their mill products. Sugar-cane,
sorghum, and their products. Illustrate
these mills and factories by models, dia
grams, pictures, etc.
The cold storage will he useful for
preserving butter, milk, dairy, and
creamery products. The homes, farms,
and lives of farmers, should be illustra
ted by photographs, drawings, etc., of
farm buildings, gates, and enclosures,
farming operations, and, in fact, every
thing that can be photographed.
The minor industries, like silk culture,
bee farming, etc., should be represented
by collective exhibits, included in the
general state exhibits.
I have published the foregoing that
the people of Bartow county may have
full information in regard to the prepa
ration and arrangement of articles for the
exposition. D. W. K. Peacock,
County Com.
The man of few ideas, and a limited
vocabulary, is generally chipper, snappy
and glib. The man of many ideas and a
copious vocabulary, speaks deliberately,
and hesitates now and then to pick the
word he wants. Of all people in the
world, young women are the most fluent
in conversation. It is no trouble for
them to pick their words, as they have
but few at their command, and are
ready to repeat them over again. In
this connection it may be noted that the
man of few ideas and much misinfor
mation, expressess himself in long
words. Short words are used for the
expression of stalwart ideas. Grand
thoughts are always expressed in few
and simple words. What is commonly
called fine language is seldom employed
by the greatest writers and speakers.
For all the purposes of grandeur, beauty
and force, our plain Anglo-Saxon is am
ply sufficient.
A nice imitation gold match sale, filled with
wax matches, for 2d cents at Word’s.
A box of tooth powders for 15 cents at Word.
Medicine glasses, 10 cents each, accurate
measurement, at Word’s.

Word’s liver pills. They are lar ahead of adv
thing on the market. Only at Word’s.

1 are located in Brevard, Monroe, Dade, Manatee, Orange, Polk, Sumpter,

SUBSCRIBERS to these Bonds really get DOUBLE value. The Bond
itself is worth its face value, and the land is clear gain, and worth more
than the full subsriptien, tneretore we confidently recommend the bonds as
a most desirable investment and shall be glad to furnish full particulars re
garding the same.

It is the opinion of able men who have examined inis project, that the
canvass for subscriptions will be very short; that the wants of the Railroad
Company will be speedily supplied, and that this offer of lauds will be soon
withdrawn. It would be a comparatively easy matter to negotiate the
whole issue of bonds with no eastern or foreign syndicate, which would
gladly secure the 3,000,000 acres of land offered as a clear bonus, but it has
decided to make a popular canvass and offer the bonds in small sums and
ou easy terms, so as to interest thousands of men who may become settlers
along the line of road. An emigration plan as well as a railroad project is
included in the programme. No such offer has ever been made in the past
and probably never will be made in the future by any other railroad com'
pany,
