All of the official advertise
ins> of Bartow county will be
found in the American.
It is said that the estate of the late
Judge McCoy only amounted to S3OO,
A monument to the charity of a good
man and a great lawyer.
Bob Ingcrsoll’s throat is reported to
have gotten well, but the Macon Tele
graph thinks that he is still suffering with
paralysis of the conscience.
Tt is currently reported that Attorney
General Garland will be asked to resign,
aud the office will be tendered to
Congressman elect Buckalaw, of Pennsyl
vania.
Chas. Francis Adams died at his home
n Masachusotts last Sunday morning.
Thus another one of America’s great sous
passed away.
Sunday’s issue of the Constitution con
tained a graphic description of Rome’s
wonderful growth since the freshets of
last spring. The Hill city seems to be on
the biggest boom of her history.
1 The Cedartown Advertiser has greatly
improved within the past few weeks.
Its new dress is becoming and makes it one
of the handsomest weeklies in the State.
The flourishing little city of Cedartown
should give the Advertiser a healthy
succor. It merits it.
Mi;s. W. H. Felton, on last Thursday
presented to the Legislature a memorial
from the Woman’s Christian Temperance
Union., protesting against the present
convict system. It is said to be an able
document. We hope to give it in full to
our readers next week.
Judge VanEpps, of the City Court of
Atlanta, read a strong lecture to one of his
juries last Saturday, on the frequency of
mistrials. It is an able and timely pro
test against this crying evil, and should
be read by every juror in the State. We
will publish his remarks in full next week
and truth that they will be read by every
juror in Bartow county.
On last Thursday the Confederate
Monument at Gettysburg was unveiled
and dedicated, The monument is of
Richmond granite, about one hundred
feet high and bears very full historical
inscriptions. This monument is erected
to the memory of the Second Maryland
Infantry, aud is the first Confederate
monument erected in the field.
Senator Pringle has introduced a bill
requiring that physiology and hygiene
be taught in all the public schools of this
State, paying strict attention to alcohol
upon the human system, and requiring all
teachers to be prepared to pass a satis
factory examination upon these subjects
by January Ist, ISBB. This is a wise bill
but we doubt the practicability of enforc
ing it.
Dr. Felten has introduced a bill to es
tablished a reformatory school for young
criminals. This is one of the most im
portant bills that will come before the
present session of the Legislature, and
one that commends itself to the wisdom
and sympathies of the members. The
wise and Christian purpose of a State,
ought to be, to elevate and improve the
depraved and criminal among her young.
Under the present system it cannot te
done. We hope to say more on this
subject hereafter.
The New York Herld evidently thinks
that Mr. Cleveland is the man for 1888
It says:
“If the Democratic party cannot elect
Mr. Cleveland it cannot elect any man to
the Presidency in 1888. President Cleye
land lias, by his wise and conservative
course, won the respect and confidence of
the country, not merely for himself, but
for the Democratic party. His adminis
tration of the nation’s affairs has allayed
the suspicions and fears of Democratic
success which the Kepublicans sowed
broadcast in 1884, and so successfully that
thousands of Republicans unwillingly
voted for Mr. Blaine or Mr, St. John rather
than ‘risk a Democrat,’ as the saying
went in those days. Democrats who
wish the continued success of their party
must see that they can get it only with
Mr. Cleveland at the head.”

FX-ritESIDENT ARTHUR DKA I>.
Ex-Presiden Chester A, Arthur died at
his home in New York city, last Thurs
day morning at five o’clock. His illness, 1
which comprised a complication of most
distressing ailments, extended over many
months. The end came suddenly but
not unexpectedly, by his physicians, for
while his vigor apparently seemed to
overcome the vooges of the disease,
the final termination was considered at
all times, only a matter of physical endu
rance.
Mr. Arthur, though not the choice of
the people as expressed at the ballot box,
for the Presidency, and though he came
to it through a most terrible tradegy, the
assassination of Garfield, yet he occupied
the great responsibility imposed upon
him tp r the Constitution with so much
modesty’ and bore himself so honorably
and well,that no President ever went out
of the office with more cordial esteem of
the people of all sections aud parties.
His death will be received with sadness
throughout the country.
In the face of all the embarassments
under which he entered upon the duties
of the high office, he bore himself so pru
dently and well,bringing to the adminis
tration of the government such methods
of dignity, order and prosperity ihat he
soon won the confidence of the people,
aud all party difference was for a time
assuaged. His conservative conduct
throughout his administration and his
utter unselfishness in the discharge of his
duties made for him a name which liis
friends will love and his countrymen will
. honor, as that of a patriot and a gentle
man . i
Judge Speer, in adjourning the U. S-
District Court, in Savannah, through re
spect to the Ex-Presidents memory, thus
eloquently sums up his character:
The motion is eminently appropriate.
I knew Mr. Arthur personally and
officially, with some degree of intimacy.
In soundness of judgment, in comprehen
sion and accurate knowledge of men and
affairs, in liberal and patriotic sentiment*
in a desire to do justice to all sectious of
his country, in true appreciation of the
great trust committed to him, he lias
scarcely been surpassed by a predecessor
in the presidential chair. Towards all
men he was a graceful and courteous
gentleman in his demeanor and lan
guage. At the expiration of his presiden
tial term lie, with dignity and composure,
and with a spirit of lofty courtesy to his
successor, laid aside the robes of office,
and left behind him a record of pure and
exalted administration to which not even
a suspicion had assigned the vestige of
impropriety. This is the opinion of the
country and will be the verdict of his
tory. In respect to his memory as a
statesman, a patriot and gentleman and
his distinguished services to his country,
the court will stand adjourned until
Monday next, and it is so ordered.
The court then adjourned.
BOItROYVING MONEY.
The following editorial in the last issue
of the Sunday Telegram, under the above
head is so full of healthy advice, that it de
serves to be read by eyerybody:
“The business of money borrowing and
lending would be fir healthier if iudors
ments we,e left out of it. The borrower,
if entitled to credit, should be able to
raise the money on his individual note
and other collateral security of his ovvu.
To ask his neighbor to lend him the use
of his name is to ask him to asurae all
the risk of p lying the debt. Has he the
moral right to put his friend in that po
sition? Certainly not. He is asking him
to assume the risK of paying a note with
out having yalue received. He is asking
him to jeopardize his credit, to have
worry and anxiety of mind and too often
to pay a dent without having received a
dollar or equivalent. It is wrong in the
ory and worse in practice, for its his
tory is full of despair and bankruptcy.
The merchant who owes money for mer
chandise should never go security for a
friend. He wrongs nimself, his creditors
and his family by so doing. The mer
chandise is not morally his own until fully
paid for. Ilis first duty is to pay his
own bills, and not to guarantee those of
his neighbor. Asa rule, merchants have
enough to do to attend to their own pay
ments, withont concerning themselves in
the debts of their friends.
ARBOR DAY.
In another column will be found
Governor Gordon’s proclamation ap
pointing to-day a3 Arbor day for Georgia.
Of course it is too late to expect any
great-deal of tree planting to be done this
year; yet the appointing of such a day
will serve to remind the people of the im
portance of looking after their forestry
interests, and will be the beginning of a
system which has grown popular through
out many of the States, and should be
come so in Georgia. The rapid destruc
tion of the forests of the country has been
the occasions of much thought, and has
caused the organization ot a forestry
Congress made up of leading and thought
ful persons, whose chief object it has been
to check the ravages, and to repair the
damages already done. Let Georgia’s
Arbor day become one of her annual
events.
BARTOW IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Bartow lias every reason to congratu
late herself on her representatives in the
Legislature. Maj. Foute and Dr. Felton
have been placed on good committees,
among the best in the House. Maj. Eoute
is on the General Judiciary,which is re
garded as the first committee. He is also
a member of the committies on Banks,
Enrollment, Military Affairs and Peniten
tiary. Dr- Felton is chairman of the
committee on the Lunatic: Asylum, also
a member of the committees on finance,
State of Republic and on Temperance.
Neither of our representatives are making
much fuss, but are doing good and affec
tive work. Though it is Maj. Foute’s
first Legislature experience, he takes to
the duties wqh the grace of an old baud,
and has by liis affable manners won the
QSteem and ri&pct of all the member's. i
EORGIA’S ARBOR DAY.
Acting on the memorial of the Southern
States Forestry Congress; Governor Gor
don lias designated the Fourth Wednes
day in November as “Georgia Arbor

WHISPERINGS FROM THE MAGIC CITY
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 22, 1886.—We
welcome with great pleasure many of our
Georgia friends in our boomiDg city.
Among the number is Mr, Walter Ryals,
one of Georgia’s brightest young men.
He has commenced the practice of law 7
here and we congratulate the Birming
ham bar on their reception of such a gen
tleman.
Among the numerous enterprises of
Birmingham is the erection of one of the
most elegant union passenger depots and
car-sheds in the South.
The president of the Georgia Central R.
R. was in the city a few days ago, and w r e
are informed that the road will be extend
ed from Goodwater here at once, and that
the grounds for the depot have been pur
chased.
We will soon have in full blast two
new furnaces added to our list. We can
almost imagine now that we are in Pitts
burg, but let the good work go on.
Birmingham will soon complete about
four miles of street railway. She already
boasts of more miles ot street railway in
proportion to her size than any city in
the Southern States.
The Alabama State Bank is now taking
stock and will soon open as the Alabama
State National Bank, with about double
her original capitol.
Around County-Line.
Mr. Allison Thompson has moved to
Polk county, where he will engage in the
lumber trade.
Messrs. Magre Sc White, successors to
Thompson, are getting all the ginning
they can do.
Rev. D. M. Burgess was re-elected
pastor of the Stamp Creek Church. Mr.
Burgess has served the church two years
aud has done great and lasting good.
Our ’possum crop is splendid. Mr.
Joe Abernathy went out the other night
and gathered nine, one of which he sold
for seventy-five cents.
John C. Irwin has gone to Alabama.
Never mind ; lie’ll do back some time.)
Our school is toleranly good now.
Robt. Alexander, of Cherokee, is attend

The writer had quite a treat on the
25th inst.; helped to eat a watermelon
that would have weighed twenty pounds.
Horse-swapping is on a boom.

Our farmers are quite busy finishing
their cotton picking.
Those who had wheat sown in October
and had concluded they would have to
sow their grouud over are encouraged
since last wnek’s showers, and now hope
they will have a pretty fair stand.
Mr. Lovelace, our contemplated school
teacher for next year, was in our viciuiiy
last week working in the interest of the
Cartersvllle American. We are glad to
say that most of our people have paid
them up, and those who haven’t are just
as clever as they can be, for they promise
to pay soon.
Mr. \V. F. W 7 eems, of Rome, Ga., was
in our town Monday. He was wearing
that usual business-like expre-siou.
We sometimes wonder what Mr. Akiu,
our County Sunday-School Superintend
ent, is doing about the Sunday-School
banner, as we haven’t heard anything of
it since the grand rally at Cartersville.
However, we want to give him ample
time to prepare for the presentation.
Our esteemed friend, Mr. James Lewis,
says he intends hereafter to pay very
spooial attention to “keep the Sabbath
day holy.” Wo don’t know exactly how

Those who have -hfld the noblest posi

Awe. Graft’s Colored Servant.
Harr won, the colored body servant of
Gen. Grant* is earning a living as a com
positor In the government printing

who hs'4)esn. working alongside of Har
rison titffts this atjiiry with reference tc

and pl&Sbi it in an envelope and told
Harrisofl to deliver it to Mrs.

The not* was equally delivered on the

instead the third, because of the pres

A FToaJt Nature.
This is * time of the year when every
other man complains that his feet hurt
him. It is always so just before spring
sets in %ud before eold weather arrives.
It is not because men wear tight shoes,
but it SWXU3 fa he a freak- of nature in
this olirrfftte. f £he rest of the body may
bo pleasantly warm, but the feet seem
to be to a heating process that
the loosest or most perfect fitting shoe
can not prevent. Shoemakers observe
that they have mure complaint on ac
oount of'shoe* made during the two
periods I'liave mentioned than at any
other time during the year. I merely
state the-fact flora my own experience
and observation, and leave it for the
scientist or physician to explain.
Speaking of shoes, I wonder why it is
that boots have sb largely fallen from
the grace of fashion. Ten years ago
men wore boots, jiow a shoe store will
not sell two dozen pairs during the win
ter. Xam speaking, kow 7 ever, only for
the city, as in the country boots are as
popular as ever. Perhaps there is good
reason for change. Boots are not as
dressy as and they are not a bit
warmer than Shoes, for the leather
gives K'fctle protection against cold to
the calves.—-Globe-Democrat.
Statue of Franklin.
A Bo*tbn newspaper man says that
Greenougli’s statue of Franklin in that
city is worth studying, because it illus
trates *t fheory Tor which the sculptor
had the authority, of fhe great physiog

human represents different phases
of human nature, rntui being a dual ani
mal, wifh a double set of characteris
tics. Ott one side of the bronze face of
Franklin, Greaxough has depicted the ex
pression of the me* of science who drew

Free Trade.
The reduction of internal revenue and
flie taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefitted the consumers, as well
is relieving the burden of borne manu
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green’s August Flower and Bos
chee’s German Syrup, as the reduction
f thirty-six cents per dozen, has been
added to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-fifth more medicine in the 75 cent
dze. The August Flower for Dyspepsia
nd Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the hugest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage
f increased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and
afflicted, in every town and village in
civilized countries. Sample bottles for
10 cents remain the same size. tf
