The American heartily congratulates
the fifth congressional district in that
she will return Hammond to congress.
He is the strongest man in the lower

RATIFICATION MEETING.
The democrats of Bartow county meet
at the court house to-day at twelve
o'clock to ratify the nomination of Cleve
land and Hendricks. Let every man

At the same time delegates will be
elected to the congressional convention,
which meets in Rome, and the guberna

Let’s make the welkin ring to-day
with genuine, old-time democratic en
thusiasm. Interesting speeches will be

MILxNEK FOR ELECTOR.
We leam that Hon. Thomas W. Mil

tor from the seventh congressidhal dis
trict, on the Cleveland and Hendricks
ticket. We desire to say that Mr. Mil
ner is eminently fitted for this position.
He is one of the foremost of the young
er democratic statesmen in Georgia. He
is well posted, conservative and consist

brilliant. He is a true democrat, and is
in hearty sympathy with the party. We
hope he will be placed on the democrat
ic electoral ticket from Georgia. His
personae magnetism will lend enthusiasm
to the ticket, and help to swell the ma
jority in this state to one hundred thou
sand. Bo far he has no opposition.
THE GRAND JURY ON PROHIBITION.
The following was handed us by one
of the grand jurors for last week. We
Himply give the facts for what they are
worth:
“The grand jury of the third week,
during an interval iu business, had a
free talk on some of the questions of the
day: After short speeches from Dr.
Leland and others, on the subject of
Prohibition, a vote was taken, showing
eighteen in favor, and one declining to
vote.
Never has there been so much unam
ity on any debnteable question, iu the
annals of grand juries.
The fence question was also voted on,
and resulted in sixteen for no fence and
three for fence.
The grand jury was composed mostly
of fanners, and nearly every district in
the county was represented.”

6B4NP JLIIV PILEsENTAIKNTS.
Filing of Justices’ Dockets in Clerk’s Office
—The Pauper Farm to be Sold—The
People to be lleard on Prohibition
—Freight Bates.
We, the grand jury of the third week
of the July term of Bartow Superior
court, beg leave to make the following
report:
Wo have had before us the books of
the following justices of the peace, left
iui examined by the former grand jury.
The dockets of W. B. Brookshire, J. P.,
of the 932d district, G. M., incorrect as
to overcharges for serving additional
summons. The docket of E. B. Ford,
N. P., 1041st district, G. M., incorrect
as to summoning witnesses in one in
stance. We regard these errors as un
intentional. The dockets of the follow
ing we find correct: B. F. Bibb, N. P.,
856th district, G. M., Isaiah Ingram,
N. P., 693d district, G. M., W. H. King,
J. P., 827th district, G. M., and J. H.
Stephenson, J. P., 1041st district, G. M.
It having come to our knowledge that
the old dockets and papers of the justi
ces’ of the peace and notaries’ public
from nearly all the districts have not
been returned and filed with the clerk
of the superior court as required by law,
we insist that this be done at once, and
that the justices’ of the peace and nota
ries public now in office secure the dock
ets and papers of their predecessors and
return them. This matter is important
to litigants, as their rights frequently
depend upon these records.
The first grand jury having made a
thorough examination of the condition
of the pauper farm, and an exhaustive
report thereon, we concur in their recom
mendation for its removal, and would
suggest that when the farm is sold, it be
done after due advertisement, and at
public auction before the court house
door.
We earnestly request that our mem
bers of the next General Assembly, urge
the passage of an act, amending the act
creating a railroad commission: giving
them further power so as to pi event the
railroad companies of this state from
combining and theredy discriminating in
the way of freights in favor of one point
against another.
We are glad to report our county in a
healthy and prosperous condition, with
good prospects of an abundant harvest
To insure the prosperity of our county,
our jury, by *, vote which only lacked
one of being unanimous, request our
members of the next legislature to see to
it that our county has an early vote on
the prohibition of the sale of spirituous
liquors.
Iu taking leave of his Honor, J. C.
Fain, the Judge, and J. \V. Harris, Jr.,
the Solicitor General of the Cherokee
Circuit, we take pleasure in giving to
them this our hearty endorsement as
faithful and efficient officers. Iu our
judgment the interest of society, and the
peace and good, order of this judicial cir
cuit could not be trusted to safer hands.
For courtesies extended to us by them
and other officers, during our present
session, we extend our thanks,
We respectfully recommend the pub
lication of these presentiments in the
two city papers at the usual half rates.
Respectfully submitted.

A DAY ON THE BANKS OF THE ETOVTAH.
Thursday morning a party of young
people started out fully determined to
have a splendid day. Cooper’s Iron
Works was their destination. Our wagon
started about eight o’clock, and a jollier
crowd you never saw.
We went out one of the most beauti
ful roads iii Georgia—the winding Eto
wah on one side and the towering moun
tains on the other. Wo went slowly so
as to drink in the beautiful scenery. It
was most sublime.
When we arrived on the grounds a
good many were already there. They
greeted us with shouts and waving of
hats.
We strolled about, played croquet,
carved our names on the monument,
climbed down the steep bank to the
very water’s edge, wrote in an autograph
album for our Texas friend, and many
things too numerous to mention did we
before dinner time.
At twelve there was a bountiful lunch
spread, and in spite of the distant roll
of thunder we fully enjoyed it. When
we were just about half through Mr.
Shelby A. and Mr. George Gilreath
came. We invited them to partake.
You just ought to have seen the fried
chicken, salad, cake, pie, pickles, grapes
and everything tjlse that Mr. Shelby
made to disappear. I just know he was
sick next day.
After everything was cleared away,
part of us started for the spring, and a
house near by, for the thunder warned
us to seek shelter. We had gotten about
half way when the rain came down iu
torrents. It was almost blindiug. We
had umbrellas, but they didn’t do any
good. After falling over fences and
climbing up hills through com patches
we arrived there safely, but oh! sad to
relate, we were drenched. Our white
dresses that just a moment before were
so nice and fresh hung very limp. We
were about the most forlorn looking
crowd that I ever met. As for me, I
didn’t want anyone to look my w r ay at
all. But we consoled ourselves with the
thought that w T e w T ere not the only pic
nic party that had ever got wet.
After the rain stopped, and the sun
came out once more, w T e went back to
see how the rest of the party had fared.
Most all had gotten in the closed car
riages and kept comparatively dry. They
had a good laugh at u.s, but we just had
to grin and endure it.
We then took a w T alk up to Maj. Coop
er’s. He greeted us very warmly. It
made one feel very sad to b k at the
ruins of his once beautiful home. He
asked us to sing for him. We all joined
iu “Sweet Bye and Bye” and “Shall we
Gather at the River.” Tears came into
the e3 r es of the grand old man.
As wo bade him “Good-bye” he cor
dially invited us to come again next
year.
We started home about six. We all
had spent such a pleasant day that our
joy found vent in singing, and we just
made those old mountains ring.
We resolved to go back next year and
try it again. One of the Party.

THE TATTLER TALKS.
A Tlclileri Boy— A Happy Prohibitionist
-Leglslattre Atplrantn-OrMpei
and Pin on-The Presby
terian FMtival.
During the trial of the divorce case of
Alford vs. Alford in the superior court
last week, a pompous, wordy witness
was on the stand and CoL Graham was
erfea-examming him very closely. The
■MRfiel was trying to get him to admit
that he had made various statements
al>out the case to different parties. The
witnass swelled up, and with something of
an injured air replied: ‘Til give you to
understand, sir, that I don’t run around
tattling in any such way.” Little Howard
Smith was listening very intently to the
witness, and when he so indignantly re
pelling the idea of being called a 4 ‘tat
tler,” Howard seemed to think
of something funny, and commen
ced to smile. When his eyes fell on me
he was so much tickled that he almost
tumbled off his seat. Wonder what he
was laughing at ?
Col. Stansell is the strongest prohibi
bition man in Georgia. I was amused
and pleased at the expression of his ca
pacious and comprehensive countenance
on last Friday evening when the pre
sentments of the grand jury were read,
in which they urged upon the members
of our next legislature to see to it that
this question was submitted to a vote of
the people. His eyes sparkled, and the
smiles seemed to break out and shine
around his face like a shekinah. He was
so full that he had to get up and come
across to the Tattler and shake hands.
Said he, “My son, that meanfe some
thing. Those men represent the intel
ligence of this county, and they demand
a hearing on this question. I wonder if
old man Willingham will write an edito
rial on this recommendation and de
nounce these men as fanatics?” Col.
Stansell felt very good over the recom
mendation, and I confess that I joined
him in this feeling. What is there so
sacred iu this question that the people
shall not be heard on it ?
The grand jury in their recommenda
tions last week urged upon our repre
sentatives in the next legislature to ask
that the prohibition question be sub
mitted to a vote of the people, and also
that an amendment be made to the law
creating a railroad commission so that
the commissioners can prevent railroads
in Georgia from discriminating in freight
rates in favor of one town against anoth
er. Col. Watt Harris laughingly told
the boys that he saw about six men.with
their note books making a memorandum
of these recommendations, and looking
wise, as if to say, “I’ll see to that when
I get to the legislature.” There are
whole families of dark horses ready to
be put in training for the legislature.
The Baptists of Adairsville are trying
to raise money to build a church in
their town. Mrs. E. B. Gaines has do
nated a beautiful building site on the
west side of town, and over SSOO of the
money to build the church has been
subscribed. The membership of the
church is small, and not rich. They
will be glad to receive contributions from
any one who has spare money to put
into a safe investment. A pretty church
building, on the elevation selected,
would be an ornament to Adairsville.
From all parts of the valley, and from
the surrounding hills, its spire could be
seen kissing the sunbeams. A church
is the greatest need of the town. If
this fair little village only had “a decent
church to top the neighboring hill,” it
would, indeed, he everything that Gold
smith said of “Sweet Auburn! loveliest
village of the plain.” Let all its good
citizens unite in this noble enterprise
and build a church that will ornament
the town.
As I was going home the other eve
ning, feeling tired and worn out from
an all day’s-sitting around the court
house, Mr. T. Warren White and his
good wife invited me into their cozy,
cool little cottage, and spread out before
me a waiter of the most luscious purple
grapes and a bucket of large mogul
plums. The command was to eat, and
for once at least, in my life, I did not
disobey orders, I did oat and was merry.
I never enjeyed a treat more. They
were so cordial and kiud, so thoughtful
and attentive, so generous and unselfish,
that it made me feel better to be with
them. Mr. and Mrs. White are two of
the best friends the Tattler has in Car
tersville, and their friendship is deeply
appreciated. I love old people and I
am proud of their attentions to me. I
esteem it the very highest honor to have
the respect and friendship of old peo
ple. The most laudible ambition I ever
felt w r as the desire to win and retain the
friendship of my superiors in age. I
love to visit them and I am always prof
ited by their conversation. The impul
siveness and extravagance of youth is
curbed and corrected by an association
with them. I may be, and am in many
respects a very bad fellow, but this is
one trait of character of which I am
proud, I love, respect, and reverence
age. Mr. and Mrs. White will accept
my heartiest thanks for the grapes and
plums.
The festival given by the ladies of
the Presbyterian church ou last Thurs
day evening was one of the most success
ful affairs of the kind ever given in the
vity. The uverage modern church fes
tival (and they are all modern I think)
has had a tendency to make people look
on them with suspicion. Doubtful
methods are sometimes resorted to in
order to get money. Mistakes are fre
quently made in change; exhorbitant
prices are charged for trifles; schemes
are plauued and snares set to get the
money of the unsuspecting. But no
charges of this kind can possibly bi
made against the ladies who had the
management of the Presbyterian festi
val. It was charming in every particu
lar, and liberally patronized by the best
people in the city. ‘The tables were el
egantly arranged and plentifully sup
plied. The prices charged were very
reasonable, and, in some instances, re
markably cheap. The arrangements for
entertaining the crowd were very good,
and on every side pleasant things were
said of the festival. I have no trouble
in telling of the good things to eat, but
it is impossible for me to describe the
beauty of the fair dispensers of these
good things who presided over the ta
bles. When I looked in on them at
nine o’clock Thursday evening while the
crowd was largest, and the young ladies
the busiest, the scene was bewilderingly
beautiful; white dresses,and gay ribbons,
and braided hair, and bright eyes, and
rosy cheeks, and gay laughter and mer
ry voices, all seemed to be mixed up and
floating around the room together. It
was youth and innocence and beauty ail
combined. If I were to undertake to
say what I think of Cartersville girls, I
would be accused of flattery, but I will
say here, in the midnight quiet of my
office, after the excitement is all over,
and the echoing laugh of the merry
crowd has died away, that our girls can
not be matched by any town in Georgia.
They made the festival a splendid suc
cess, and they are entitled to much
praise. The receipts of the evening
reached about S4O. Tattler,

Pacts Gathered from tlic Tax Digest of
1884, that will be of Interest
to our Readers.
The tax digest for 1884 is made up and
returned to the commissioner’s office. In
looking over it we have found many facts
and figures that will be interesting read
ing for our subscribers.
We give a tabulated statement below
that is worth reading:
Number of white polls 1,880
Number of colored polls 702
Total 2,582
Number of acres settled lands.. 276,838
Number of acres of wild lands.. 24,271
Total 301,109

Value city and town prop’ty. 432,045
Value money and solvent dt’s 359,695
Value merchandise all kinds. 169,204
Value stocks and bonds 57,300
Value capitol invsted mini’g, 4,500

niture, organs, pianos, etc. 140,493
Watches, jewelry, silver pl’te 18.342
Value horses, mules, cattle &c 269,202

Value Adairsville city prop’y... 38,140
Value Kingston city prop’y.... 23,720
Largest tax payer, J. M. Veach
Adairsville, value of prop’y... $76,000
Next largest tax payer, M. G.
Dobbins, of Cartersville, value
of property $63,286
The showing made this year is not so
favorable as that of 1883. We suppose
the hard times and scarcity of money has
made the tax payers feel poor, consequent
ly they have put a small valuation on their
property. The falling off from last years
figures is about $120,000. This decrease
is principally in money and personal
property, the falling off in the item of
money and solvent debts alone being over
$60,000. There has been a falling off of
167 in the number or polls—6s of these
are negroes and 102 whites. We are not
boasting of these things but we simply
state them as facts for the information of
our readers. It is not because of any
decrease in our population or wealth but
the people have been negligent in giving
in their taxes.
We find that Mr. Ginn has kept his
digest in a neat and intelligent manner,
so that anybody can understand it.
Whisky as a Preserver.
Whisky is good in its place. There
is nothing like whisky in this world for
preserving a man when he is dead, but it
is one of the worst things iu the world
for preserving man when he is living.
If you want to keep a dead man, put
him in whisky.
If you want to kill a living man, put
whisky into him.

ence, a most forcible teacher. Otis.
Cartersville, July 30th, 1881.
Growing strawberry plants need a
generous supply of water. From the
day when the first blossoms appear
until the well-developed fruit is
ready to ho plucked the soil where
strawberry vines stand should be
kept moist.
Sheop that have been uniformly
kept will have fleeces of the greatest
strength. A week of starvation, un
usual exposure to severe weather, or
often a very cold period in winter
with supposed good care, will stop
the growth of wool aud a weak place
in the fibre will be the result.

The above work is one of ‘he most
desirable books of the Rind we have
ever examined. We have never
known a better book sold by subscrip
tion and it is a pleasure to recommend
it. It should be in the library of ev
ery family in the country. Mr. M
A. Morgan, a student of Emory Col
lege is in Cartersville representing
this work, and will remain here fora
week or ten days, presenting the mer
its of his book to our citizens. He
bears a letter of recommendation
from Dr. Haygood, the president of
Emory College. He is a young man
of limited means struggling for an
education and is devoting his vaca
tion to this work. He is energetic
and deserving, and we hope our peo
ple will give him a favorable hearing.
The book he represents is worth twice
the amount charged for it.

ter incorporating them as the “Bar
tow Manganese. Mining and Manu
facturing Company.” The capital
stock is to be $50,000, $30,000 of
which has already been paid in.
This is a strong company. Mr.
Dobbins is one of the wealthiest men
in .North Georgia, and owns the finest
manganese property, perhaps, in the
world. Judge Cunningham is also a
man of large means and splendid
business capacity. The company
combines all the qualities for success.
Tney are men of judgment and busi
ness rapacity, and wear level heads
on their shoulders. The ma nganese
interests of Bartow county are some
thing immense, and there are for
tunes to be made out of it if properly
managed. The cool, clear-headed
men who compose this company are
not likely to make a “flash in the
pan.” Their traveling man left last
week to make contracts with the
steel manufacturers of the New Eng
land states for large quantities of this
ore. They will work their ore banks
on a large scale, and give employ
ment to numbers of men. The most
of the manganese lands of this com
pany lie from five to seven miles
from Cartersvilie. This city will be
their shipping point till they build
their branch road from the Y, above
town, direct to the ore beds, which
they anticipate doing as soon as the
w’orks are in active operation. This
company possesses the capital and
brains, the energy and enterprise to
make a grand success.
When ihe mining and manufac
turing interests of North Georgia are
appreciated and developed, the dawn
of anew day will burst upon our
grand old hills and flood our valleys
with bustling life, and stinting cn
ergy and generous prosperity. We
are glad the company has been or
ganized, and we predict that the en
terprise w ill be abundantly successfu 1.
The School Bonse Case.
The case of Thomas H. Baker vs.
the mayor and aldermen of Carters
ville was argued before Judge Fain
last week, the argument being con
cluded on Friday evening. Able
counsel discussed the case fully on
both sides. Graham & Graham and
Thomas W. Milner representing the
mayor and council, and J. A. Baker
and W. C. Glenn representing
complainant. The chancellor
held up on his decision in
order to investigate the case thor
oughly, but from intimations made
during the progress of the argument
he will likely render his decision in
favor of the complainant, and make
the injunction permanent. This is
only guess work, and we hope the
decision will be the other way. The
opinion of the court will be rendered
sometime during this week.
A Happy Agent.
“Walk into my parlor’’ proudly
said Mr. H. W. Gabb to an Ameri
can reporter yesterday morning,
“and see what you think of my new
quarters.’’ We accepted the invita
tion, and had the pleasure of looking
through one of the neatest, handsom
est and most conveniently arranged
little depots in Georgia.
Mr. Cobb looked very cozy, com
fortable and contented. Every ar
rangement for the convenience of
passengers and freight is almost per
fect, and things were moving like
clock work, The East and West has
many warm Iriends in Cartersville
Who rejoice at its prosperity.
