(;,;od teeth are a great, blessing. Den

it has licen for years.

subscribe for Tine L’oukant whenever
and wherever you call.
( 01. K. V. Johnson, travcdiug agent
for the Rome Courier, brightened our
sanctum on Monday last.
Cartersville needs a cotton factory,
built not on paper, but on solid ground
with a large capital stock.
Our farmers are now composting their
manure* preparatory for an active spring
opening in {lie, way of putting in their
crops.
No cleverer or better conductor than
<'apt. *l. 10. Goode, of the E. and W. It.
It., ever pulled a hell line or punched a
piece of pasteboard.
The opera house was honored with a
large collection of handsome women
Monday’ evening last. There were a
lew tolerably handsome men there, too.
Several of our farmers have lost their
hogs recently. Some few have had sev
eral cows to die. Such items of news as
these are, do not till us with a great, wild
jy.
Mr. Felix Franklin, father of A. M.
Franklin, ex-sheriff of Bartow county, is
in very feeble health. If lie lives until
the 21st of April next, he will have at
tained his I'dd birthday.
Cartersville has more little boys be
tween tin; ages of ten and fifteen years
than any other town of her size in the
world. We guarantee ibis assertion and
have tlm figures to prove it.
Aromatic particles from tlie thought
to-be necessary guano, now float around
promiscuously on the pellucid breezes in
and about Cartersville. These particles
are no respecters of person.
George Waldrup has bought an interest
in the bakery and family grocery business
of A. D. Vundivere. Vandivere and
Waldrop will he a strong firm, and one
that, it will be hard to down.
Since prohibition carried in onr coun
ty, very little can be heard in the way of
brawls and st reet fights. On tiie other
hand everything is rolling along as
smoothly as a stream of oil.
Mr. Kinsley Stegall, one cf the oldest
and most highly esteemed citizens of
Bartow county, is as youthful in appear
ance and feeling as he was ten years ago.
May his valuable life he spared for years
to come.
Will not our county commissioners ex
amine tlie “Haney Hill” before their
next meeting, and see if tin*}’ cannot
help the traveling public to a little
smoother road over that famous hill of
I lillieulty ?
Our county never had a more compe
tent, painstaking and intelligent set of
commissioners than she has now. They
are all good men—they know what
ought to he done, and they do it w illing
ly and readily.
The public roads in Bartow county are
grow ing daily less and less trustworthy.
Large and long holes are wearing into
them at short and unpleasant intervals,
and we are now at a considerable distance
from the worst part.
Prof. Self, the writing teacher, is in
Cartersville. lie lias two classes—one
for the day and the other for the night.
He says that he has as tine timber to
work on as can he found anywhere. We
agree w itli him entirely.
A few of our farmers are prophesying
a short wheat and oat crop. In regard to
this they are, assuredly, too premature.
No man, at thL season, can tell with any
degree of accuracy what w ill be the yield
ol the grain erop. As yet all is dark.
Dancing parties, receptions and teas,
are all quite in the shade in Cartersville
at present, with social whist in the ascen
dency. At the now’ low ebb society
would probably he alarmed at the an
nouncement of a large sized hotel bail on
the topis.
The view from This Courant’s office
window is a beautiful one. Add to this
the busy crowd around the depot, and
the hurry of business in our streets, on
a clear, bright day, and Cartersville can
hold her ow n with any young city in
Georgia for attractive appearance.
One of the greatest banes to any town
or community is a man or woman who
has a morbid fondness tor “gossip.’
Such a person reminds us forcibly of a
plt'hian plug, and Vho smartness and glit
ter of a long life will never efface from
our memory the effects ol such gossip
ing.
Mrs. John Campbell died at her home ,
in Austin, Texas, on the 2nd instant,
tslu* was a sister-in-law of D. W. Curry,
and the wife of Mr. John Campbell, for
merly telegraph operator express agent
and depot agent of the Cherokee railroad
at this point. She had many friends in
Cartersville who will learn of her death
w ilh sadness.
The cold waves that come rolling over
us every few - days are calculated to wilt
the foe bug that naturally arises in our
during these intermittent at
tempts at spring westhor. During such
balmy—soft and delightful intermissions
our minds irresistably thoughts
of lugiring a large, well-filled basket to
some sylvan picnic retreat.
The school children of Cartersville, the
and the small ones, the old and the
young ones, the advanced and the be
ginners, all seem to be thoroughly satu
rated with a temperate supply of the jin
gle ami tizz of youthful existence. They
all seem to he robust, hearty, l appy and
contented. This lias a tendency to reju
v* nate us older people.
Jim Milam, Jr., a young man well
and favorably known in Cartersville, is
now telegraph operator for the Ka<t
Tennessee Virginia and Georgia R. R.,
at Chnuncy, Dodge county, Ga. Jim
has many of the qualities that make a
full blown man. His friends here have
an abiding faith in his ability to move
along serenely and prosperously in Ins
new home.
THE WEEK.
I Soinmary of (Social am! Interesting
Events—A Happy Marriage In C’arters
viHe--An Old Bartow County Boy
Drops into Wedded Bliss.
CAMI*—FIELD.
Married, on Thursday evening last, at
the residence of the bride’s mother on
Erwin street in this city, Rev. J. B
Robins, pastor of the Methodist church,
officiating, Mr. Ilurbert Camp, of Jack
son county, Ga., to Miss Maxcy Field,
; yofpgest daughter of Mrs. C. M. Field.
The marriage was a very quiet one,
only a few of the family relations and
friends being present.
Mr. Camp hut recently came to our city,
but during his short stay he made a host
of friends by his gentlemanly bearing,
fie is certainly entitled to our heartiest
congratulations for his success in pluck
ing from Bartow’s beautiful parterre, one
of its richest flowers.
now L A N D —WINTER,
On Thursday last at Augusta, Ga., Mr.
Charlie Rowland, of Atlanta, was mar
ried to Miss Lucy Winter, a beautiful and
accomplished lady of tiie former city.
The groom is a grand-son of tiie late
John 1,. Rowland of Bartow county, and
has been known from his early boyhood
by our people among whom he has a
great many friends who will heartily re
joice to know of his new found happi
ness. Of ail the accomplished young
ladies who have gladdened toe hearts of
lovers at the altar in Georgia during tne
last four months, we know of no one who
lias centered her affection upon one in
whose breast there throbs responsively
a bigger heart than swells the bosom of
our friend Charlie.
There is no social organization of any
kind in Cartersville at present. To
remedy this a scheme is now being dis
cussed by our young men whereby a per
manent organization is to he effected, the
purpose of which will be to bring onr
young people together at stated inter
vals for their iputnal benefit and enjoy
ment. It is advised that something of
the literary be injected into these meet
ings so that all will have an opportunity
of being benefttted while seeking re
creation and social enjoyment, John
Banton is engineering the scheme, which
throws around it a great likelihood of
success. We arc heartily in favor of tiie
movement.
Kingston,
For some time this town has had no
male teacher —young ladies have done
all the teaching. Now, however, Mr,
Stansberry, of Tilton, is there and is fast
building up a line school. Young ladies
teach well and faithfully, but the strong
arm of a rnan is needed to rule the tur
bulent spirits of rude boys.
Mr. Will Woodruff and wife have re
turned from a month’s visit to their old
home at Gridin, Mr. Woodruff tells of a
strange freak in his little terrier dog. The
dog has adopted his baby’s dolls,and will
cry w henever they are taken from him.
The man with the heavy cow’ was
in town this week. ller name

for New Orleans. Several others will
shortly follow him.

to Cartersville to see Blind Tom Monday
night.
Farmers are complaining of bad
weather. They fear another wet spring.
There are three young ladies in King
ston who are very anxious to see Will
Neel.
Base Ball.
The base ball season is drawing rap
idly close. Our young men are deter
mined to be equal to the occasion. They
think of organizing at an early day.
It is suggested that the clubs ot Rome,
Rockinart, Acwortli, Cedartown, Dalton,
Marietta and Cartersville, form what
will be called the “North Georgia Ama
teur League.” Each club is to play no
man who lives at a greater distance than
nine miles from the home of the club.
It will be arranged that each nine will
play a series of games with all tiie other
clubs. Much amusement may be ex
pected by our base hall loving people
during tin* spring and summer months.

Dear Cot kaxt —But. stop!—that is a
little too presuming in view of our lim
ited acquainted once,you have only called
on.*e* However, I trust we may yet be
real good friends —enduring friends.
Mr. Courant, I like your neat, hand
some appearance; your frank, prepossess
ing demeanor, and hope for you a bright
future, filled with peace, prosperity and
usefulness. May your good influence
grow with your growth and strengthen
with your strength, until, like the wide
spreading, far-reaching, deep-rooted
Banyan, you will be immovable. Thus
may you be a mighty power in our Sun
ny Southland. Since it is one of your
objects to gather and disperse the news
of the week, 1 w ill promise to be of what
ever assistance to you in that way, that
is in my power, if you, in return, w ill be
kind and forbearing. lam a docile ani
mal and will w ork with a good will al
ways for one who is appreciative, though
L can’t work with much cheer when 1
never hear a kind or an encouraging
word, Taffy, you know yourself, is good,
and I think, is harmless when taken in
small quantities. But now, Courant,
don’t think L am fishing to be paid ott'
in tatty, please, ’cause lam not. I only
wish a word now and then, as a faithful
servant would who has tried to do his
duty, just to to know whether I am of
use to you.
All is quiet at our little burg. The
Ironville school, which has been delayed
by the unfinished state of the academy,
w ill open Monday next. -
Maj. Smith, (“Bill Arp,) our inimita
ble friend and neighbor, will give us
soon another one of his benefits, which
will be a “feast of soul and flow of rea
son,” the proceeds to go to the academy.

public; all are invited. Help us all you
can, won’t yon good Courant?

We doubt if there is another country
office in Georgia that is so well fitted up,
in very many particulars, for business
and convenience. We occupy three sto

the basement, convenient to tire elevator,
which carries the printed sheets to the

Our business manager’s office is on tiie
main floor, while the composing and edi

A Proposition.
We have splendid schools in Carters
ville, and splendid teachers, and we de
sire to have their superior quality well
understood by our citizens here and in
the surrounding country. Now, we de
sire also that these different schools shall,
within this and the coming month of
March, require each one of their advanc
ed pupils to write.an essay upon some
given subject, selected by themselves or
by a committee of well-qualified citizens.
Ever}’ essay shall be written and com
posed by the pupils themselves, and a se
lection shall be made by each school of
the particular essay which shall embody
in itself the highest grades of excellence
and scholarship.
Then, we will carefully print and pub
lish the essay thus selected, one from
each of our different educational institu
tions, and we only make two requisitions,
namely:
Ist. These essays shall be original with
the pupils who claims the production.
2nd. That it shall not cover more than
two pages ot foolscap paper.
After this scholastic trial we shall make
a similar otter to the pupils under the age
of ten years in each school. What say
you, teachers?
We hope to receive the first essay for
publication in our issue of the 26th of
March.

KIND WORDS FOR THE COUKANT.
THE COURANT.
Long may its light and learning shine,
Down through the ages fall;
Diffusing wisdom, grace divine,
Truth’s mantle over all.
ACWORTH.
Telegraph and Messenger.]
We are in receipt of the initial num
ber of this enterprise. The papei is large
and handsomely printed. * * * The
facile pen of Mrs. Felton flashes along
its colutns, and a cursory glance rests
here and there on the marks of the culti
vated mind of the Doctor. The Courant
will prove a power in Georgia, and we
welcome so intelligent and interesting a
contemporary to our exchange list.
Rome Courier.]
We have received the first number of
the Cartersville Courant, bearing
the imprint of Dr. and Mrs. W. 11. Felton
as editors. It is an exceedingly neat
sheet, and well filled with good reading
matter. It is needless for us to say that
its editorials show marked ability, for
all who know anything of Doctor and
Mrs. Felton know their ability as writers.
The articles with the Doctor’s initials
are ratr.er too long for newspaper con
tributions, but doubtless a little exper
ience in journalism will lead to a correc
tion in tliis respect. We think, too,
that the latest news from Egypt will con
vince the Doctor that it is permature to
cry out “victory” for a favored army
even when it is “out of the woods.” We
shall always read the “Courant” with
interest, and wish it much success.
Dalton Argus.]
The Cartersville Courant is before
us. It is, typographically, a beauty. The
editorials of Dr. Felton are of a hefty
character, discussing tilings in a lofty
manner, rather out of the range of mod
ern small papers. Mrs. Felton also
shows her presence in an admirable man
ner. It is worth your while to apply
for a sample copy and judge for your
self.
Athens Chronicle.]
We gladly place upon our exchange
list the Cartersville Courant. The
initial number is superb in typograph
ical neatness, and our pencil is too weak
to pass a criticism upon its merits as a
public journal; but suffice it to say, the
editorial management is under the con
trol ot Doctor and Mrs. W. 11. Felton,
while that popular and gifted young
journalist, Mr. Walter M. liyals, Alls the
roll of city editor.
Constitution.]
The Cartersville Courant has made
its appearance. If future numbers keep
up the reputation of the first, it will
mark anew era in Georgia country jour
nalism. Mrs. Felton, who is its editor,
writes with a trenchant pen, and makes
even the most distant objects appear fam
iliar.
Rome Courier, j
The Cartersville Courant has a
very vigorous and truthful article, writ
ten by Dr. Felton, in support of the pol
icy embraced in Mr. Reagar.’s inter-State
comnunerce bill. We fully agree with
Dr. Felton In his denunciation of the
railroad abuses which the bill is designed
to correct, but we would prefer for the
remedy to be administered by concurrent
State action.
Albany News and Advertiser.]
We are in receipt of the first issue of
the Cartersville Courant, edited by
Dr. W. H. Felton and his excellent wife.
It promises to be a good paper. It will
be clean, incisiye and independent, in a
high and honorable sense. There is
work tor such a paper in Georgia, and
we welcome it into the field.
Savanah Times.]
We have received a copy of the first
issue of the Cartersville Courant, a
bright and capitally made up paper,
which has just been established in Car
tersville. * * * Mrs. Felton, is an
nounced as one of the editorial writers,
and her vigorous pen is plainly discern
ible in several of the articles. Mrs. Fel
ton is an accomplished lady, and will un
doubtedly prove a valuable assistant in
the conduct ot the Courant. Dr. Fel
ton, who is an acknowledged power in
the teal ms of letters, is also concerned in
the conduct of the paper, and, we should
judge from the initial number, is giving
considerably effort to making the Cour
ant, what we believe it will prove, a val
uable acquisition to the State press. \V e
welcome the Courant to the field of
journalism, and predict for it that success
which we feel assured its merits will de
serve.

“Housekeeping in the Sunny South.”
This is the title of anew cook book
gotten up by Mrs. E. R. Tennent, of
Marietta, Ga., and published by Jas. P.
Harrison & Cos., of Atlanta. No pains
or expenses have been spared to make it
the most perfect book of its class ever
published. The recipe for making F. M.
Jack’s famous bread is published for the
first time. It is alone worth the price of
the book. The great fault with most
cook books on the market are their ex
travagant demands, which render them
valueless to the masses. This will suit
the plainest and most economical as well
as the millionaire, who can afford the
costliest luxuries, The best housekeep
ers, bakers and confectioners not only of
the South, bvit of every section, have
contsrbuted their tried and valued recipes.
The list is indeed a brilliant one. The
boi.k contains four hundred pages, is ele

From experience, I think S. S. S. a very valua
ble remedy for cutaneous diseases at tlio same
time an invigorating tonic.

AN AGED BAPTIST MINISTER.
Two More Important Cases.
Your agent being in Columbus, Ga., a few days
ago and meeting the venerable brother J. if.
Campbell, we asked him for the news. His reply
was, “I have two more important cures effected
by Swift’s Soecific to report.” This venerable
man is known far and wide for his unremtting
labors of love in the behalf of the poor of Colum
bus. It will be remembered that the Swift Spe
cific Cos. has donated quite an amount of their
famous medicine, to bedistributed by Mr. Camp
bell among the poor of the city; hence bis remark.
He said:
“I have just seen a lady who has been greatly
annoyed by a tetter in one of her hands. Ithadgiv
en her much trouble and pain. She said she had
been treated by several physicians during the past
three or four years with the old remedies, but
without giving any relief. I suggested Swifts Spe
cific and she took four bottles and is now appa
rently perfectly well. Her hand is smooth, and
not a single sign of the disease is left. It is
marvelous how this medicine renovates the sys
tem.”
“What about the other caseF’
“Well, that was a lady also. She had been
badly affected with eczema for four years. Her
face,” hands and arms, as well as her body, were
covered with sores and scabs. It was one of the
worst cases of this terrible disease that 1 have
ever seen. The suffering of this poor creature
was beyond expression. She tried every remedy
at hand, including mercury and iodide of potash
but she only grew worse. She was in this condi
tion when 1 first saw the case. I soon had her
taking Swift’s Specific, and she has now only
onlv taken two bottles, but every mark of the
disease has almost entirely disappeared. Her
general health has greatly improved. It is one
of the most remarkable cures that has come un
der my notice, and in a ministry of sixty years
I have mingled with every class of society and
observed closely the variety of diseases which
afl'eetd humanity. Blood diseases arc the Jmosi
numerous and most difficult to remove. To over
come these diseases, it is my deliberate judge
ment that Swift’s Specific is the grandest blood
purifier ever discovered. Its effects are won
derful. and i consider them almost miraclous.
There is no medicine comparable to it.”
