Ask Miller, of Curry’s drug store, what
was the first thing he thought when his
feet refused to hold their grip Sunday
last.
Drs. Bartow Fite and Burtchalter, stu
dents of the Southern Medical College
Atlanta, Ga., are spending Christmas in
town.
The marriage of the young man of the
American office has been indefinitely
postponed, much to the regret of the
young man.
Ati unexpected marriage is not an un
frequent occurrence in Cartersville these
days. Don’t be surprised to hear of any
one’s marriage.
Christmas day will be observed as usual
at Ascension church. Services begin at
11 o’clock a. m. The public cordially in
vited to attend.
There seems to be a feeling pervading the
whole of Bartow county, that a much bet
ter time is in store for us next year. May
propituous gales waft it hither.
The Christmas tree to be held on the
night of the 24th inst., at McGinnis’s, is
changed to the 25th, but don’t forget to
come, “we will have the bossest time on
ice.”
Mr. and Mrs. Ale* M. Willingham re
turned to Cartersville last week. Their
many old friends were delighted to see
them. Alex looks the very picture of per
fect health.
Wikle & Cos. have an immense stock of
beautiful Christmas and New Year’s cards,
at from 10 cents to $2 each. Orders by
mail enclosing the amount, promptly at
tended to. Good selections made.
Sam Conyers and Wallace Stansell are
at home from the State University to

an l hearty looking and report Athens as

\V hen you are buying your Christmas
goods and making yourself happy, don t
forget that F. M. Shaw is a candidate for
re-election to the office of justice of the
peace for the 822nd, district G. M., Bartow
county.
Mrs. W. IT. Felton returned to her home
near this city yesterday. ' This estimable
lady has been quite sick in Atlanta for a
few weeks past, but, we are glad to state>
she is now enjoying her accustomed good
health.
The new manager of the St. James ho
tel took charge of the same last Monday-
He is a man of long experience in the ho
tel business, and his wife is said to be a
remarkably skillful manipulator of the
culinary department.
The American will begin the new year
with flying colors and with much bright
er prospects than ever before. Our read
ers who are in arrears will convey a great
favor on ns by paying their dues. Notice
the cross on your paper this week.
Dave Taff and Jim Sproull, while out
hunting near Stilesboro a few days since,
killed a white rabbit—white all but the
ears, which were brown. When they
first espied the snow ball-looking object
going across the field at a swinging gallop,
they knew not what it was. But they
banged away and laid it low all the same.
We know somebody’s little darlings are
Bure to be happy this Christmas. We
saw numerous mothers and fathers in
Wikle & Co’s book store last night. The
house was brilliantly illuminated, and the
beautiful stock of holiday goods appeared
to splendid advantage. After tea this
evening would be a suitable time ior the
city people to call and finish making
their selections.
The whole number of votes cast on the
whiskey issue last Wednesday was 2,084.
Bartow county, on a full vote, can poll
about 3,300. So it i safe to say that 1,000
voters tailed to take advantage of their suf
frage, and of this number, at least ten to
one would have voted for prohibition. It
is our candid judgment that there is a maj
ority against whiskey in our county of
1,000 at the lowest estimate.
1 here will be a marriage in Cartersville
this evening that may surprise some of
our very quiet citizens, but the more
knowing ones will nat be shocked. May
zephyrs fan the cheeks of this happily
mated couple, during their sojourn on
this mundane ball; and, when they come
to lie down and die, may they be gently
wafted to where they can lap it in Ely
sium, and where all will be pure delight,
with pastures and clover up to their
necks !

Holiday Vacation.
The fall term of Mrs. Brame’s school
closed last Friday evening. A sociable
was given by Mrs. Brame to her pupils on
Friday night. Bright faces, light hearts
and merry voices made it an occasion of
gladness for the children. Mrs. Brame
has one of the best ordered schools in
Georgia, and her students have earned
their holiday respite from study. The
American wishes each and every one of
them the merriest and happiest C hristmas

JohDou I nite Hands and Hearts
at It}men'.; Altar.
Last Wednesday evening at half-past
four o’clock a select party of invited guests
assembled in the parlors of Mr. M. L.
Johnson’s handsome residence, on Erwin
street, to witness the marriage of his sister
Miss May, to Mr. Harris Best. The cere
mony was performed by Rev. J. B-
Robins, in a brief and beautiful way, and
they were made man and wife amid the
smiles and good wishes of their friends.
The attendants were: M. L. Johnson,
Miss Maria Freemaa ; S. R. Phillips, Miss
Nelia Jcnes; F. M. Johnson, Miss Mattie
Dobbins; J. Hugh Young, Miss Mamie
VN ikle ; VV. M. Graham, Miss Sarah Par
rott ; Theo. Smith, Miss Ida Price. The
bride and bride’s maids were dressed with
perfect elegance and tasto. The toilette
of the bride being one of the most beauti
ful and expensive ever seen in Carters
ville.. We will not attempt a description
of them. After congratulations w T ere ten
dered, the entire party repaired to the
residence of Dr. Best, on Cassville street,
where a reception was tendered the bride
and groom. Every luxury and delicacy
known to the land, was spread in the
most lavish and prodigal profusion. Mr-
Best and his beautiful young wife are
happily married, and no one more heartily
wishes them a eontinuation of this happi
ness through life than the American.
They were the recipients of many beauti
ful and handsome presents.
Began—Yonug.
On last Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock
at Forest Hill, the beautiful residence of
tlie bride’s mother, Prof. John P. Rogan,
Assistant Ethnologist of the Smithsonian
Institute at Washington, D. C., was mar
ried to Miss Francis J. Young. There
were no cards, only the immediate family
and a few intimate friends being present.
Rev. Mr. Rankin performed the ceremony
in the beautiful and impressive service of
the Presbyterian church. The groom is a
young gentleman of high character, de
serving of the splendid position he holds
and of the confidence imposed in him by
the department he so ably represents,
while the bride is a fine specimen of true
and noble Southern womanhood and one
of Cartersville’s ‘ most highly esteemed,
popular young ladies. We can but con
gratulate the fortunate groom and wish
for the happy couple a life of unsullied
happiness and prosperity.
Married.
On Sunday morning December 14th,
Mr. J. R. Cox,ofßainbridge, Ga., was mar
ried to Miss Amelia Renfroe of this coun
ty, Rev. F. M. Daniel of the Baptist
church officiating. During her short res
idence among us, Miss Renfroe made
many friends, who unite in wishing her a
happy married life. The happy pair left
for their home on the morning of their
marriage.
Married.
At the residence of Capt. John Marchi
son, his daughter Miss Viola B. Marchison
to James S. Goodwin by Rev. G. S. Tum
lin on 18th instant. The bride is much be
loved for amiability, and Mr. Goodwin is
a young man of 'worth and fine business
attainments.
Don’t Bead 't his.
It was a wise man, who said, no man lias
a right to bring up his children without sur
rounding them with boeks. 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 witli
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 AVikle & Cos., and make
selections from their large stock of choice
books.

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.

I was in Acworth when the news came
that Bartow had gone “against whisky,”
and I assure you it was refreshing to see
the people rejoin. They had a regular
hallelujah time, if there had been a fire
in town tlie people would not have made
more noise or manifested more excite
ment. Capt. Mitchell lost his accustom
ed judicial dignity, tossed his hat high
in the air and sent up three lusty cheers
for “Bartow and prohibition.” In this
he was heartily joined by the crowd.
Those good people have tried prohibi
tion and they know the know the good
there is in it. In addition to this there
have been two bar rooms on tlie line of
Bartow that have been a continual
source of annoyance to Acworth. They
send through the Tattler their congratu
lations to Bartow and rejoice with us in
outffreedom from whisky.
* *

I have been asked to write something
about old Uncle Bob Patterson, who died
last AVednesaay morning in the rear of a
bar room in this city. I scarcely know
wliat to say. There was something piti
ful in the life he lead, and there is some
thing pathetic in his death. In the long
ago he was respectable, well-off, ad had
around him a happy family. The demon
of drink fastened its clutches upon him
and he began to fall. His property
melted away—liis friends and family left
him—bis self-respect was gone, and in
bis old age he wandered around our town
a poor, pitiful, helpness pauper.
Through it all his love of drink shadowed
him like grim despair. Ido not know
wliat noble desires to reform may have
moved in his heart in his
earlier life, but in liis old age he seemed
to lose his powers of resistance and
yielded himself up to the bowl. Often
and often I have passed liis poverty
stricken tenement at niglit and looked in
on liis desolate loneliness. No fire, no
family, no comforts. Feeble, forlorn,
forsaken. How I pitied him! Yet he
did not pity himself. The very vice that
had ruined Lini was still Ins constant
companion. He hugged it to his bosom
with hooks of steel. The war “against
whisky” seemed to worry him and I am
told that he had sworn on tlie night be
fore election day to vote “ ‘for whisky
iu spite of hell.” That wash rash vow
As the first grey streaks of day were
chasing the shadows of the earth last
Wednesday morning, God laid liis liana
ou the old man and called him away.
Before the polls were opened the form of
Bob Patterson was cold and pulseless.
It may have been old age that killed him
—it may have been whisky. At any
rate his time had come and plunged into
an unknown eternity with the rash vow
to vote for whisky almost warm on his
lips. Whatever may have been the
cause of his dea’.li, one thing is sure,
spread consternation on many faces when
the news of it was circulated on the
streets. It may be that prohibition
would have been defeated but for his
death. ‘‘God moves in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform. Aside
from the effect it may have had on the
election. I feel iu my heart a strange
loneliness when I think how he died
J write I can almost see his old
shrunken form as it lay on a bundle of
sacks in a bar room dead. No soft hand
to arrange his grey locks—no warm lips
to kiss his wrinkled face —no pleading
voice too woo him bacx to life—no tears,
no sobs. Who would live such a life?
Who would die such a death? And
above all who would not save our boys
from such a life and such a death?
