THE COURANT. i’tifrrtd in fht'Pbtoftc at CarUrttilU, On., a* eron4-ckt* matter. \r ami.u M. EY MA, < ITI EDITOR. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12. 1886. CURRENT COMMENT. OIi! tlial our pen could only write In letters liold and shining bright, The name of that gossiping sprite, “Somebody.” Sain Brown is not dead, butsleepeth. Mack Johnson is making a good record as mayor of Cartersville. Job work in genuine city style can be done at this ollice on short notice. Tin*. Superior court stopped grinding last .Saturday. We feel thankful. George .Maguire is prospecting with a view of going to the land of flowers. Bartow Leake is shoving along the in surance business at it gratifying gait. Our agricultural article is from that sterling farm journal, Southern World. The applicants f<*r the post sfllce at this plaee aie work quietly but well. A great many sensible and apprecia tive people lire in Adaiisville and King ston. Sarah Keys, who lived near this eity\7ncd List Saturday mot ning in her £6th year. (;,;od teeth are a great, blessing. Den tal work is cheaper in Cartersville than it has licen for years. |h> not let an opportunity slip, but 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 is Juno. She is four years old and weighs between 3,500 and 4,000 pounds. Mr. J. W. Oglesby leaves to-morrow for New Orleans. Several others will shortly follow him. Mr. Whit Bailey leaves this week for Alabama where ho goes to take charge of a school. John McElvy and Whit Bailey went 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. Ironvllle Items. 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.

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.

One of our gallant swains, Will Row land, says he “has it b-a-d,” Mr. Bob lienfroe, as he “goes spark ing Sunday” eve, rides merrily, singing the while, unconscious of the outside world: “Up the road, birdie, la, la, I am going to se# , yes, I am.” I will not subscribe myself ’till I see w hether you will “ let me come in.” The Courant Ollice.

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.

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.” Treaties on B 1 ood and Skin Diseases mailed free The Swift Specific Cos., Drawer 3 Alanta, Ga. febl2-lm K. E.
