Mr. Will Glenn, of Dalton, was in

of the most finished speakers in
North Georgia.
One of the cleverest boys and most
faithful business men in Georgia is

Mr. F. M. Flemming brought to
the “Tattler’s” office last week a

While in Atlanta last week we

C. Sanders, of Cochran, who former
ly taught school iu Adairsville. The
professor is still unmarried, and
looks happy, handsome and prosper
ous. He was a deligate to the state
temperance convenlion.
One of the greatest draw-backs to
Cartersville’s trade and development
is the lack of freight rates. If we
could get through rates to our city,
this could be made a distributing
point for a large section of North
Georgia. This subject demands the
thought of every business man.
The new depot of the East and
West railroad is about completed and
will bo ready for occupancy in a few
days. It is the neatest and most tas
tily finished railroad building in any
town between Atlanta and Chattan
ooga. We like the Ea9t and West,
and wish it the most abundant pros
perity.
Mr. C. W. Langworthy and son,
F. Herbert Lang worthy, both of
Rome, have been in our city for the

ally fine pianist. We hope their stay
in our city will bo extended several
days yet.

family of Mr. C. G. Trammel in a

ble lady and has many warm friends

glad to welcome her to our little
city. It will be a long time before
the names of Misses Safford and
Moon will be forgotten by our peo
ple.
The lawyers are complaining very
greatly of the hot weather. Our
court comes in the most trying time
of the year. January is the coldest,
and July is the hottest month in the
year. We wish the time could be
changed—but then perhaps we are
complaining, and it may be best as
it Is. If the judge and lawyers can
stand it, so can we.
Hon. A. W. Fite announces him
self in this issue as a candidate for
tno legislature. We take great pleas
ure in recommending Mr. Fite to
our readers as in every way worthy
of their support. He made an effi
cient and faithful representative dur
ing the last session, and he will re
ceive the endorsement of the best
citizens of Bartow county for the
second term.
Mr. James 11. Gilreath showed us
yesterday, the most beautiful line of
carpets, rugs and mattings we have
ever seen in Cartersville. Some of
the most lovely patterns of Brussels
carpets and the most exquisite de
signs in rugs ever shown in this mar
ket are in this collection. Mr. Gil
reath will tell you through the
American how it will be to your
interest to buy these goods from him.
The excursion over the East and
West R. R., from Cartersville to Sul
phur Springs, Alabama, last Thurs
day, was a most enjoyable affair. On
account of the farmers being very
busy the crowd was not very large.
Still, a goodly number went over.
The enterprise and push of this rail
road is very commendable, and the
officers and employees of the rsad
are as competent and geutlemanly a
set of men as can be found on any
railroad in the country,
Mr. W, W. Roberts announces his
name in this issue as a candidate for
sheriff, in connection with Mr. J. A,
Gladden as deputy sheriff, Mr. Rob
erts is one of the best citizens in Car
tersvilleand a man of the most unr
questionable integrity. He will
make a fine sheriff. Mr. John A,
Gladden is the present sheriff of our
county and has made a most accepts
ble officer. We are glad to see such
men as Roberts and Gladden offering
for these positions. It is a strong
ticket,
Almost fta Aeddtnt,
On last Friday morning Mr. J. M.
Harris, of Kingston, came very iu*ar
being run over by an engine backing
down the track of the W. & A. R. R.
at the court house crossing. He had
been standing near the track in con
versation with W. J. Noil while a
freight train was backing down on
the East & West track, and did not
notice the engine on the W. & A.
track which was also backing Iu the
same direction. Having finished his
conversation Mr. Harris stepped up
on the W. & A. track, and stopped
for the freight on the narrow guage
to pass down. 11 is back was partial
ly towards the engine which was
mooving down on him at a some
what rapid ruu, and he did not see it.
The noise made by the engine was
drowned by the rattle of the freight
boxes that were passing. He stood
thus unconsious of his danger until
the engine was almost upon him,
when Mr. Neel happened to look
hack and saw his danger. He at once
called to him excitedly and almost
simulteneously the engine whistle
rang out the alarm. Just as the rear
of the tender struck him, Mr. Harris
gave a backward leap and cleared
the track. He was not a second too
soon, and as it was he received a con
siderable shock and a bruise on the
hand.
Quite a number were standing iu
front of the court house and saw the
dangerous position and narrow escape
of Mr. Harris, who was so much un
nerved from the shcck that he got
excused from court and sought a
place to rest. Mr. Harris’ friends
congratulated him that his injuries
were so slight.

cieam from 2 p. m., to 10 p. m , on

A Wheat Country.
The best wheat country in Geor
gia, and as far as we know iu the
south is Oothcaloga Valley, surround
ing Adairsville. The past season has
proven a good one for wheat, and
the yield has been very satisfactory.
On the Scott farm (formerly known
as the Fitten farm,) one mile from
Adairsville, over three thousand
bushels were made. On the Gaines
farm, two miles from Adairsville,
over three thousand bushels were
made, and on the the Trimble farm,
two and one half miles from Adairs
ville, over three thousand busheL
weie made, making a total of nearly
ten thousand bushels made ou three
farms. These farms join each other
and make up the “garden spot” of
America. The average yield was
from twenty to thirty bushels per
acre.
