The Western and Atlantic railroad is doing an immense business. All of its rolling stock is In constant use. Scores of trains, passenger and freight, run up and down the road daily. F. M. Shaw and W.

Cartersville does not look like a moral grave yard, nor are drunken men frequent on our streets, nor is her business shrunken, whining llenry Walker, of Home, to the contrary not withstanding.

Some of the recommcfedn tions, however, seem to he a little unwise. Now is the time to speed the plow. Let every farmer in llnrtow county select two acres of j ind, one for corn, the other for cotton; let him see if he cannot make two bales of cotton on one, and one hundred bushels of corn on the other acre. The extensive and prolific manganese beds which lie near this place and which are owned and operated by Capt. M. G. Dobbins, are in a nourishing condition. Capt. Dobbins will ship two tons of manganese to England during this month ami next. The bast) ball season is swinging back to us at a rapid rate. Our young men seem deter mined to organize and practise as early as possible . No doubt Cartersville will boast of as good an an atotir team as can be found iu North Georgia this season. We respectfully suggest that a special tax ho assessed on the people of Bartow county for the purpose of raising funds to compromise the fifteen year-old litigation that is spread over thousands of pages of our Superior court records. It would save thousands of dollars to the county. Clever and genial Frank Lester has just re turned from where the flowers oloom peren nially and where tile sweet-scented orange blossoms shod their fragrance all the time.

Will C. Glenn, of the Palton bar, has been attending our Superior Court for several weeks. He is a young man of brilliant parts, and no lawyer of his age in the State is superior to him iu legal attainments and in skili in tiie manage ment of complicated cases.

The Grand Jury Pr imtnier.t* for Third II erk January Term 1883. We, the Grand Jury, selected and sworn for the third week of the January term of the Superior Court of Bartow county, beg leave to make the following presentments, to-wit; This body being composed of represen tatives largely from the rural districts of the county, have had an opportunity of learning the financial condition of its farmers and farming interests. We have great reason to feel thankful and grateful To the Great Giver of all good, that the people of Bartow are emerging from the panic of 1883-4, and that business of every description promises activity in the near" future. While there is great complaint of the scarcity of money, there is an abundance of.gram and provender to supply the ne cessities of the county until another har vest, but that prosperity may -be as sured, we would respectuliy advise the most rigid economy: raise plenty of corn, oats, clover and everything required on a farm, and then, with cotton as a surplus crop, plenty prosperity may be ex pected and"fully assured. W e have inquired diligently into the condition oi the public roads of the county, and find them, with few excep tions, in fair condition. The road leading from Cartersville to the irou bridge on the river is reported as having some bad mud holes that need draining and filling with gravel. The river road in the lower Stamp Creek district is reported in bad condition. The crossing of Allatoona Creek on the road leading from the old Canton road to Webster’s Ferry, on the Etowah river, is impassable much of the time during the winter months, and we would respect fully call the attention of the County Commissioners to this fact, and if in their opinion the necessities of that neigbor hood and the traveling public require it, to build a bridge at that point, provided, it shall not cost exceeding one hundred and fifty dollars. The roads in the 17th district reported good with the exceptions of the crossings, many of which arc in bad condition and dangerous. Yv e would recommend that the Road Commissioners in each district be re quired to have posted at each lurk of the roads in their several di.~.trices distinei sign boards. Good roads are truly the index and auxiliaries to the prosperity of a country, and we would urge those in authority to see to it that the roads in the county are put in first-class order during the year. We are glad to be able to report in creased interest manifested upon the sub ject of education. W e attribute much of this interest to the untiring and efficient management of the County School Com missioner. By committee we gave the books and records of his office a thorough inspection and found them neatly and correctly kept. We would suggest that the County Board of Education lay off school dis tricts of a radius of two miles, and com mission and contract with only teachers best qualified to teach the schools of those localities, discouraging as much as possi ble the small fourth grade schools which have a tendency to retard the formation of schools of the higher grades. We would urge tire local Trustees to take a greater interest in the work of their official positions, and aid in every posi sible nuinnejr the efforts of the School Commissioner that the system may be as effective as possible. \Ve find that there were ninety-three schools taught in the county during the year 1884, and there was disbursed to teachers $5,702.05 out of the common school fund. The number of white children taught in the common schools of the county during the year was 2,508; colored chil dren, 1,108; making a total of 3,010. Many children of the school age failed to avail themselves of the tuition. It is certainly better than no system and all children should avail themselves of its benefits. By examination of the books of the County Treasurer, we find the finances of the county in a healthy condition. Cash in the Treasury January first, 1885, was $2,964.55, with tax executions for $3,000.00 more, most of which we are reliably informed will be collected. This amount, with the 52 cents on the SIOO recommended to be levied by the Grand Jury of the first week, will be ample, in our opinion, to meet the ordinary current expenses of the county for the year 1885. By committee we have examined the records of the other county officials and find them (as far as " we are able to judge from the necessarily limited ex amination given,) to be neatlj’ and cor rectly kept, and as they were critically ex amined by experts last year, we deem the recommendation of the previous Grand Jury appointing A. F. Woolley, Is. C. Sayre and Elias B. Earle, as unnecessary and an expense that should not be in curred. We do not concur in the recommenda tion-of the Grand Jury of the first week asking that a special bill be passed by the General -Assembly for Tax Assessor for the County of Bartow, deeming that the remedy is "already supplied by our statutes, if the "Tax Receivers and Grand Jurors will do their sworn duty. By committee we inspected tin ■ jail build ing and find the prison and residence need ing some immediate repairs, such as replac ing broken glass in the windows, Ac. We would call the attention of the County Commissioners to an .inspection of the building, and would recommend that such repairs as may be absolutely needed for the preservation of the property, the Sheriff’s family and the security of the prisoners be made. By committee we visited the Pauper Farm and find the inmates cheerful and comfortable. We commend the Superin tendent for doing all in his power to economically take care of the county's paupers. We would recommend that the Superintendent' be allowed to employ an additional farm hand during the making of this year’s crop, the cost of the hand not to exceed seventy-five dollars, and that he use the labor and team to haul stock to the saw'mill to get lumber to put lofts in the houses and to make other nec essary repairs. We find much dissatisfaction in por tions of our e ntity as to the manner in which our QouutV Commissioners are chosen, and a strong desire to have them elected as to represent all sections of the county. We would recommend that our members of the Legislature have the act creating the Board of County Commissioners for Bartow county so amended that the Cartersville district shall elect oue Commissioner, Allatoona and the 17th district combined shall elect one Commissioner, Adairsville and Kingston combined elect one, Cassville and "the 6th district combined elect oue, Pine Log and the two Stamp Creek dis tricts combined elect one; that the electiou for the said Commissioners shall be biennially ou the Ist Wednesday in October, the same day that members of the General Assembly are elected. In view of the crowded condition of the dockets in the Superior court and the great and necessary expense in the trial of cases in said court, we ask our Represeutatives to secure such legisla tion os will abolish the present C aunty c6urt and establish iu its stead a City court for the whole county with civil ju risdiction from one hundred dollars to oue thousand dollars and with criminal jurisdiction of all misdemeaners. And further to have the bill so framed as to prevent appeals from said court to the Superior court but corrections may be J made by writ cf error to Supreme court. Aud further that there may lie no coh * flict of interests and accounts between flie two courts we recommend that the j officers of the Superior court be ex officio the officers of the City court. We find * uo fault with the officers of the County | court but make tiiis recommendation with the desire that litigants may have their rights determined with more dis patch and less expense to tax payers. We heartily endorse *Tudg<‘ G. 8. Tum lin as a most fit person for the position of Judge of that City court of Bartow and j respectfully recommend him to his Ex cellency, the governor, for appointment. ; In surrendering our commission as j Grand*Jurors of Bartow Superior court, we desire to tender our thanks to his s Honor, Judge Fain, and to Solicitor General Harris for their uniform courte sy and kindness to this body. We recommend that these General Presentments be published in the two ! county papers provided it can be done at the accustomed half rates. Christopher B. Conyers, Foreman James L. Trick, Alford G. B.

While his oeath was not alto gether unexpected, yet it brought deep sorrow to a large circle of friends. For nearly thirteen years he was ope rator at this point, and well and faith fully did he perform ail the duties en cumbent upon him. For several years he assisted the W. and V. depot agent. So unquestioned was his honesty, that no bond was required of him when he was entrusted with immense suras ot money —much larger sums than pass through the hands of the tax collector of Bartow county. He was never behind by the fraction of a cent. For eighteen years be was a truly consistent member of the Methodist church, and never, by word or deed, did he step beyond the pale that is thrown around a professed Christian. With all the railroad men who knew him, he was very popular, lie made friends by the score, and lie never lost one. He was as mild and modest as a woman, and ever acted to wards others as he wished others to act toward himself. lie died as lie had lived, an honest man and a Christian gentle man. ♦ -4*- ♦ A.

Xoneof them even attempt to ex plain it. Several gentlemen from the audience mounted the stage and the fun began. In turn, each one was jostled and twisted j about like a reed in a storm. Some of our dignified and very strong townsmen essayed to overcome the strange force by main strength,but with no avail. Hearty and unrestrained laughter greeted each vain endeavor to hold a chair to the floor, to put a chair or a billiard cue to the floor, to push the young lady off her balance, while she stood on one foot, to hold with both hands an umbrella while slie gently touched the handle with the palm of her open hand. Indeed, the lu dicrous clement of the exhibition was strong, hut it tlid not assert itself so for cibly sis to overshadow its more wonder ful and serious points.

There seems to be an idea prevalent that coughs, colds, hoarseness and like complaints are not to be regained as dangerous; that, in nine eases out ot ten, nothing is necessary except to let nature take her course. Such a notion is very deceptive. Many young people are brought to early graves, and many older ones are pushed oil into eternity by diseases that are very often the necessary sequence of a slight but neglected cold. “A -'deb in time saves nine,” is an old saying, nevertheless it is too true to be heedlessly disregarded. If you have a hacking cough, a soreness about the breast and throat, or inflamed lungs, you nee-1 not call in a physician. All that it is necessary for you to do is to go to your druggist and caii for a bottle of Taylor's Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein. The rapid and, vve might say, phenomenal success of this wonderful medicine is a good recom mendation. It proves conclusively that there is merit in the preparation.
