MADDOX, Chattooga County. The American heartily congratulates the fifth congressional district in that she will return Hammond to congress. He is the strongest man in the lower house from Georgia. Our esteemed contemporary, the Ath ens Chronicle, comes to our table this week enlarged and improved. It is one of the leading papers of the state and enjoys a large and deserved patronage. 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 who is in favor of honest government be there to swell the enthusiasm. At the same time delegates will be elected to the congressional convention, which meets in Rome, and the guberna torial convention, in Atlanta. Let’s make the welkin ring to-day with genuine, old-time democratic en thusiasm. Interesting speeches will be made. MILxNEK FOR ELECTOR. We leam that Hon. Thomas W. Mil ner, of this city, is a candidate for elec 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 ent. He is thoughtful, eloquent and 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.” (Free Press please copy.) 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. Francis M. Ford, Foreman, John C. McTier, Jabez K. Gilreath, John J. Johnson, Robert C. Rowan, John N. Dobbs, Jacob W. Lewis, Caswell G. Trammell, John S. Leake, Wyatt Adcock, James Samples, Ezekiel T. Henderson, George A. Fink, Crawford P. Sewell, Jason T. Baity, Clayton Irwin, Johnson Adams, Samuel W. Leland, James C. Milam, Clerk. Ordered by the court that the within general presentiments be spread upon the minutes of the court and published as recommended, August Ist 1884. J. C. FAIN, J. S. C. C. C. 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.

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, BARTOW’S WEALTH. 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 Yalue of land $1,815,148 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 Value h’sh’ld and kiteli’n fur niture, organs, pianos, etc. 140,493 Watches, jewelry, silver pl’te 18.342 Value horses, mules, cattle &c 269,202 Value farm tools, libraries, &c % 88,228 Value property not otherwise mentioned 125,138 Total $3,477,350 Amount of tax on professions.... $ 540 Amount of tax on polls 2,582 No of lawyers 28 No. of doctors 24 No. of dentists 2 No. of hands employed 590 Value land owned by negroes... $22,274 Val. c’ty prop, owned by negroes 14.325 Val. other prop own’d by negroes 27,480 Total $64,079 Value Cartersville city prop’y.. $338,755 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. The writer of this speaks from experi 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.

Circular, Notice is hereby given that on and after the 20th of July, 1884, the East and West Railroad of Alabama will be open for transportation of passen gers and freight from Cartersville, Georgia, to Broken Arrow, Alabama. Passenger trains will be run daily, leaving Cartersville at 10:17 a. m\, arriving at Broken Arrow at 6;30 p. m., and leaving Broken Arrow at 8:45 a. m., arriviug at,Cartersville at 6:25 p. m.

CA Sew Corporation. ill be seen from our advertising columns that Miles G. Dobbins, Sr., Miles G. Dobbins. Jr., DeWitt C. Dobbins, E. E. Freeman and John D. Cunningham have made applica tion to the superior court for a char 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.
