big majority when you vote on the first

splendid school. The people of Cass Sta
tion are to be congratulated on securing
the services of such an excellent man at
the head of their academy. The spring
term of this school will begin on the first

consented to serve as a commissioner from
that part of the county, if elected. Mr. Vin
cent has made a very competent com
missioner for the past four years, and if
re-elected will make a capable and honest
official.
It is understood that the anti-prohibi
tion men are endeavoring to make capital
out of the closeness of the municipal elec
tion in this place. In reply to that kind
of an argument we would say, that there
was nothing in the result of the election
that would approach a victory for anti
prohibition, as every candidate in the field
was either a doomed prohibitionist, or else
afraid to declare himself against it.
The usually spry young clerk putteth
on more than ordinary dignity when he
seeth his fair love walking along the street
he moveth onward with a majestic step
and a proud look, and noticeth not the
wheelbarrow that standeth in his way-
The w T heelbarrow ariseth up and smiteth
him to the groud and poketh its leg
in his ear, which causeth great and ex
ceedingly wrath to boil and rage in that
young clerk’s breast. Selah!

Mr. Cooper and all the members of his
excellent family have made many warm
friends during their short stay in our
midst, by their uniform kindness and po
liteness to everybody. The good wishes
of our people go with them to their new
home.
Don’t Read Ibis.
It was a wise man, who said, no man has
a right to bring up his children without sur
rounding them with books. It is wrong
to his family. He cheats them. Children
learn to read by being in the presence of
books. The love of knowledge comes with
reading, and grows upon it. And. the love
of knowledge in a young mind is almost a
warrant against the interior excitement of
passion and vices. Let parents heed this
advice and go to Wikle & Cos., and make
selections from their large stock of choice
books.
Our City’s Election." 7
List Wednesday passed off quietly.
All the candidates were good men, and
their name was legion. Every body that
was an aspirant for municipal honors that
day worked hard, and everybody got a
good vote. The result was as follows:
Mayor—M. L. Johnson, Aldermen —
J. C. Wofford and S. M. Roberts, A. L.
Barron and J. K. Rowan, Virgil Wil
liams and J. A. Crawford, W. C. Ed
wards and Aaron Collins.

A Card.
Cartersville, Ga., Dec. 14,1884.
I have this day withdrawn from the
race as a candidate for deputy sheriff. My
reason for so doing, is, that a number of
citizens decline to support Mr. Franklin
on account of my association with him
for deputy, because I discharged my duty
whilst tax collector, and issued certain
tax fi. fas. to enforce the collection of tax
es. Those opposing me on this account,
either forgetting or not knowing that I
was obeying peremptory instructions from
state authorities, and, further, that during
that period I was not permitted to place
fi. fas. in the hands of an officer for collec
tion, but was requested to make my own
levies and returns, and had only a limted
time to do this in. Ido not think the good
people of Bartow intend, willingly and
knowingly, to *do me an injustice, but it
seems I am to suffer fora conscientious
discharge of duty that was also impera
tive and that duty I discharged without
favor or partiality.
Thanking those friends who so warmly
supported me and gave me such evidences
of their friendship and good will, and
trusting they will give their undivided
support to Mr. Franklin, I am very res
pectfully, W. M. llicn.

Mr. Beecher says, that a little library
growing larger every year, is an honorable
part of a young man’s history. It is a man’s
duty to have books. A library is not a
luxury, but one of the necessaries of life.
Mr. Carlyle says a library is not like a
dead city of stones, yearly crumbling and
needing repair, but like a spiritual tree.
There it stands and yields its precious fruit
from year to year and from age to age.
Let every young man who has not begun
a library go to Wikle & Cos. and lay the
foundation for one,and every one who has
go and add to it fruit from their abundan
supply.

RKSOLFTIOYS ADOPTED BY THE ADAIRf-
YILLE RIFLES.
At a meeting of the Adairsville Rifles
at their armory, Dec. 10th 1884, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted by a
unanimous rising vote.
Recognizing our seuse of obligation to
the good ladies of Adairsville and the ad
joining country, who so willingly re
sponded to our wishes in providing the
several features of our late fair the
Adairsville Rifles on company meeting
do resolve;
Ist. That we doff our helmets and ten
der to our noble women the most sincere
thanks for their generous contributions
and for their willling labor in making
the fair of the Adairsville Rifles a charm
ing entertainment and a substantial suc
cess. That we recognize in this devo
tion of theirs to our service a disposition
to encourage us in the culture of a true
cliivalric spirit and a willingness to aid
in the development of the graces of an
elevated manhood, and that we promise
them in return, by a gallant soldiery
bearing, to be ever worthy of their re
spect and sympathies.
2nd To the gentlemen who so kindly
aided us we present aims aud assure
them that we highly appreciate their
courtesy. Where so many did well it
might appear improper to make discrim
inations, yet we believe it but just espe
cially to recognize the generosity of Mr.
Thomas Johnson, Mr. Manning, Mr. J.
E. Tinsley and Messrs. Bibb and Elrod,
of Adairsville.
3rd That the bright smiles, the happy
hearts and gentle words of our young la
dy friends have left an aching void in
the ranks of this company which cannot
be filled except by their return at some
auspicious day in the near future. In
the mean time we assure them that the
incentive to action which their presence
has given will move us on to yet higher
attainments.
4th That a copy of these resolutions
be neatly engrossed and hung in the ar
mory of the Rifles, and the secretary re
quest their publication in the Carters
ville, Rome and Calhoun papers.
A true extract from the minute book.
