The Cartersville American. TUESDAY, AUGUST 5,1881. TOWS AHI) COUMTY. ■ BITS OF GOSSIP. Use none bnt Smiih’s Worm Oil. The coiubatthickens! On ye brave, Whojfight for office or the grave! ./ Graphs are plentiful. ? / Sweet potatoes are coming in. Saturday was a good day for trade. The “dog days” tiring plenty of rain. The Presbyterian festival was ele gantly managed. Judge Branham, of Romo, was in the city last week. The Presbyterian festival netted nearly forty dollars. The Superior court will adjourn the last! of this week. A communication from “A father” crowded, out this week. Eggs are cheap, and chickens are not an expensive luxury. The grand jury last week said “let the people speak on prohibition.” From all partsof the country comes the report, “my corn is fine.” Everybody says the corn crop is the best Bartow ha3 had since the war. Very few true bills were found by the grand juries of the present court. Read notice in another column of the opening of Miss Lucy Carpenter’s school. M. G Dobbins is erecting a residence at Cass Station and speaks of moving up there. The case of Bates vs. Jones tried last week, will be carried to the Su preme court. The “amiable editor” of this paper has returned and his “hired lieuten ants” are happy. The grand jury is interested in freight rates to Cartersville. Read their presentments. After court adjourns several of our lawyers speak of seeking summer resorts for a few weeks. The lawyers will give a sigh of re lief next Saturday when the sheriff cries the adjournment of court. Mrs. Cox and daughter, Miss Daisy and Mrs. Barker, all of Marietta, are now stopping at the St. James. Mr. Trammell Starr, of Spring Place, and Mr. O. N. Starr, of Cal houn, were at our court last week. The quarterly conference of the Methodist church was in session yes terday, Rev. Dr. Pierce presiding. Miss Lillie Williams will leave in a few days forjuka Springs, Miss., where she goes to spend the summer. The Moberly (Mo.) Headlight, of which Mr. Alex. M. Willingham is editor, is a neat and readable paper. Mr. M. R. Wilkinson, of Atlanta, who has been sick for several weeks at Rev. F. M. Daniels’ in this city is rapidly convalescing. Miss Willie Oates returned to her home in Tilton last Sunday morning after a pleasant visit to the family of Mr. Mitchell on Tumi in street. Miss Allice York and Miss Maggie Byrd, two pleasant young ladies of Marietta are visitiug the Misses Whitehead, on Main street. The man Pink Pettitt, who com mitted the fiendish crime of wife murder in Murray county last week, was once a resident of this county. The lightning struck and demol ished a tree near the residence of Dr. Liudsay Johnson, on last Wednesday night. No other damage was done. Mr. George Noble, of Anniston was in the city last weak on business important business. Congratulations will be in order soon we expect. The value of Cartersville real es tate in 1883 was $489,475. In 1884 it is sslo*llo, an increase of $29,635. This Is a good showing for our city. Robert J. Pritchett, of Marietta, is spending u few’ days iu this city. He is a clever, bright boy and has scores of warm friends in this, his native town. Our Adairsvillecorrespondent sends us a readable batch of news this week. We are fortunate in having such an able correspondent from that thriving town. Mr. James H. Lowe will leave iu a few days for Wilmington, N. C. where he will in the future be lo cated. He will be missed in Car terßviile. Mrs. S. F. Brame and Miss Isa Wil liams left last week on a pleasure ex cursion to Gainesville. They will re turn in time to open school on the 18th of this month. Mr. B. T. Cooper, of Chattanooga, arrived last Friday. He is an ener getic, thriving young man and has many friends in Cartersville. He wil 1 be with us a few days yet. Rev. Dr. Pierce, the presiding el der of the Rome conference preached an able sermon at the Methodist cburch last Sunday morning. His theme was “Reconciling God’s grace with His providence.” The largest onion on record is that reported by our Adairsville corres pondent, which weighs one and one half pounds. So far as heard from Mrs. Swain is the champion onion raiser of Georgia. The neighborhood prayer meeting at the residence of Mr. Nelson Gil reath last Thursday night was largp-' ly attended. The next meeting will I be held at the residence of Mr. J. A. Johnson in the first ward. A picnic party from Cartersville and the surrounding country spent a pleasant day last Thursday exploring the ruins of Cooper’s iron works, and enjoying the magnificent scenery of -that romantic place. The frightful crime of rape seems to be getting too common in Georgia. The wretch who would perpetrate "Such a crime deserves to be burned, and the law should be swift and cer tain in his punishment. Frank Lester, the clever and genial East & West conductor, is laying off duty this week recruiting himself, lie has scores of warm friends in Cartersville, on whom he is smiling and by whom he is being smiled on. There is some complaint among our city tax payers that the assessors have valued their property too high. We expect these complaints would come the other way if they were compelled to sell at these figures. We hear numerous expressions of satisfaction in our county over the nomination of N. J. Hammond, for congress in the fifth. He is a strong man, and the people of that district will do well to return him to Con gress. James B. Cmyers announces him self this morning a candidate tor the Legislature. He is a mao of fine in tellectual qualities, has many warm friends in Bartow county and will make a faithful representative if elected. No man in the South is looming into prominence more rapidly than Rev. Sam P. Jones, of Cartersville. He is a revivalist of great strength and power. Mississippi is fairly trembling under the influence of his preaching. Our citizens rush to the post-office on Sunday morning to get the Con stitution with as much eagerness as a boy looks for a letter from his girl. The Atlanta Constitution is a big in stitution, and has a firm hold at this end of the line. The visiting young ladies, notably Miss Davidson, oi Selma, Miss Pat tillo, of Atlanta, Miss Newton, of Athens, and Miss Caldwell, of Ten nessee, contributed largely to the success of the Presbyterian festival last Thursday evening. We publish in another column the announcement of C>l. R. W. Mur phy as a candidate for ordinary. Col. Murphy has been a resident of Bartow county for about 15 years, and he has not troubled the people fur office. 110 ia well Known as a lawyer, and if elected will make a faithful ordinary. The name of Mr. Bailey A. Barton appears in our columns this week as a candidate for tax collector. We will not take up space in praising him. Everybody knows Bailey Bar ton to be one of the best officers Bar tow county ever had. He is a high toned gentleman and a good officer. “Nuf sed.” Next. Col. Henry D. Capers, of Adairs ville, has been elected to deliver an address at the re-union of the 12th Georgia regiment on October 31, in Macon. Col. Capers is a fine speaker and his address will be fall of inter esting reminiscences and instructive facts. The old 12th could not have made a better selection. We are requested by Mrs. Theo. E. Smith, Vice-President of the la dies society, of the Presyterian church, and under whose admi rable management the recent festi val was given, to return thanks, in behalf of the ladies, to the merchants and others of the city who rendered valuable assistance, and contributed to the success of the festival. Moses Scheuer has just returned from New York City, where he has beeu for three weeks past. His mis sion to that city was to accompany his brother, Albert Scheuer, who is in a precarious state of health. Mose reports New York booming. He re turns to his home the same genial, clever, irrepressible Mose, and we tender him a cordial welcome. Another announcement for Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff appears in this issue. Mr. A. M. Fraualin for high sheriff and Mr. W. W. Rich for deputy sheriff. This makes a strong ticket, that will be hard to beat. Mr. Frank lin and Col. Rich both have filled the office before, and have made most acceptible officers. The contest for Sheriff will be warm and spirited. Bob Wright, a colored train hand on the the Western & Atlantic rail road, got his arm mashed at Rogers station last Saturday night. The wound was very painful and it be came necessary to amputate the arm just below his elbow, which was skill fully and successfully performed by Dr. Lindsay Johnson, of this city, on last Suuday. Misses May and Belle Weed on, two elegant and beautiful youag la dies who have been spending some weeks in our county, left on Monday last. They were quite favorites with all who met them while here and all regret exceedingly their depar ture. The ladies may feel assured that a hearty welcome awaits them whenever they pay our section an other visit. They were the guests of Miss Amelia Renfroe. One of the handsomest young men men of the Georgia press gang is Mr. W. Addison Knowles, of the Geor gia Home Journal. We say this not because we are glad of it, but because it is true. We could almost wish it were otherwise, as he knows our Na coocheo girl, and his good looks makes him a dangerous rival. If W. Addison wishes to preserve Ins good looks, he will do well to move care fully in Nacoochee. In a letter from an old resident of Bartow, now in Atlanta, the follow ing strong and sensible language is used : “I hope you will impress the great question of prohibition so deep ly in the minds and hearts of the voters of oid Bartow that they wiil rally tothe polls like true and gallant men and free the empire county of Georgia from the curves of the liquor traffic.” Y’et there are a tew men in this country who say we shall not be heard on this question at the polls. But we wiil be heard, BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT. The Weelt’g Work Briefly Outllnetl- Tlie Movingg of the Machinery of Justice. The time of the court was very largely taken up last week in the tri al of three important cases, to wit, Tumlin vs. Thompson and Scott and F. P. Gray claimant, Mary J. Alford vs. W. F. Alford, lbel for divorce, and H. J. Bates, executor vs. C. M. Jones. „ The case of Alford vs. Alford attracted much attention and listened to with great interest. It was a suit for total divorce by the plaintiff. Mary J. Alford against Floyd Alford on three grounds, Ist, cruel treatment, 2nd, diunkenness, 3rd, adultery. Col. W. M. Bray, of Atlanta represented the libellant. His speech in the case was able and eloquent, and was very favorably commented on by our local bar. Below’ will be found the record of the work done.

This week will conclude the labors of the term until sometime in Oct. or Nov. when an adjourned term of two weeks will be given to the W’ork of this court. Bartow,s Classical anil Scientific Institute. Col. Henry 1). Capers was in the city yes.erday. He informs us that the Bartow Classical and Scientific Institute, of which he is principal, opens up this week with the most flattering prospects. Quite a num ber of students from other points will go to Adairsville this session to enjoy the advantages of this institu tion. It is gratifying to know that Col. Capers’ efforts to give Adairs ville a first class school are meeting so much encouragement and success. Editors American: Is there a law prohibiting drunkenness on the streets of this city? If so whose fault is it that said law is not enforc ed? Do you not think a nuisance that it should be abated, and if there is no such law ought not our mayor and alderman pass such a law and see to it that the officers execute the same? Citizen.
