CASSVILLE Farming is the avocation of over three fourths of the people of Bartow county, and is the basis of all her wealth and prosperity, yet how crude in many re spects is that farming. Many things are done after the old style—“carry a jug in one end of the sack and a pumpkin in the other.”. The cause of this lethargy, this want of progressiveness, is attributa ble to a great extent to a want of organ ization. There is no successful avoca tion in our whole country but what is thoroughly organized. The hankers have their organization, the millers theirs, the manufacturers theirs, the railroad corporations theirs, and in fact every successful business has its clubs and is thoroughly organized. Yet the poor farmer, in his isolation, goes on from year to year scratching the ground with his little old scooter plow, disdain ing book farming, as he calls it, with no information to guide him but his own dearly bought experience. We are glad to know that in some parts of our county they are getting out of this old fogy way of doing, and have farmers’ social clubs formed, meeting once a month, alternate ly at each of tho farms, where the day is spent in discussing some appointed sub ject of agriculture, and engaging in so cial converse, free and unrestrained. Now, if there were no other benefit to be derived from these clubs than the beget ting of a closer social intimacy between neighbors and Inends, much would he accomplished. But the grander features of the organization is its experience meet tings, its purchasing of improved machin ery and phosphates direct from the manu factories without the extraordinary in tervention of middle men. One of the clubs of the county purchased this sea son 80 tons of acid phosphate, payable Lt day of next November, at S2O per ton, a clear saving, to the club of SOIO over the price charged by guano agents. The advantages of these clubs, if well managed, are almost inestimable. Think of the subject seriously, farming friends, and determine to take the first step of progress. We pause to drop a tear to the memory of our friend, C. B. Conyers, and ex press our heart’s sympathy with the great bereavement ot his family. We have known Kit from our early boyhood, intimately and well, and have never known a more affectionate and devoted husband, a more doting father, and a firmer friend. IT is impulses were all for good, and in his death Bartow county has lost ouo of her best citizens and many of us our most sincere friend. Green be his memory ! The last cold spell-has injuied mate rially the stand of wheat in this section, especially that sown broadcast. The wheat sown with a drill is much less in jured. The fall sown oats are all gone. Farmers should he in readiness to avail themselves of the first pretty weather to resow their oats. An oat crop is mate rial to the prosperity of the farm. We hope the editorial headed “Iron Ore,” in last week’s edition, will be read and studied by the moneyed men ot Bar tow county. It is a strong paper, replete with stern facts. “Nothing (as asserted in that paper) is more assured than the poverty of a county or Slate which habitually and persistently ship from their borders the bounties of nature, unconverted into the useful by human labor.” This equally applies to our cot ton, to our wheat and to our hay. Every thing shCuld be sold from ©ur borders in its highest perfected state. When foun dries convert our ores into iron, factories weave our cotton into thread and cloth, and the wheat crops are made into flour, and the bran and hay and gram is converted into fine beef for the city markets, then, and not until then, will Bartow county have de veloped the full measure of her resources and assumed her position as the banner county of the Empire State of the South. Will Patton, the “Tom Acton” of the Courant, with broad smiiles, a candi date’s bovy-do-you-do grip, with old “banjo picker,” is making a close canvass of the county. Tills cold, cold weather, is enough to freeze the beautiful but premature spring warbles of “Tattler.” Scribbler. ADASRSVILLE. The farmers were all busy preparing for planting corn and cotton until the recent rains prevented. Some of them fear that they will have to cultivate part of their wheat land because of the wheat being killed,. Misses Lumpkin, two beautiful and sweet young ladies of Cedartown, liaye been visiting Mrs. Gaines for the past week. Mrs. James Lovelace and Miss Homer Lovelace, of Rockmart, have been spend ing a few days with relatives in our vil lage. Messrs. J. M. Veacli&Co., are run ning their mill fourteen hours per day aiul are having ready sale for all their flour. Adah -vilie boasts of a fine young ar tl.-t in the person of Mr. Alec Capers. Some of his comic productions are very amusing. We hear that an Adairsvllle nine is in cluded in the North Georgia Base Ball Association. We suppose from this that some of the town hoys are going to or ganize one, for as vet we have not heard of any. KINGSTON. We are practically on the line of our Cassville friend. We want to tell of crops Jind new mown hay, but can’t say much such weather as this and at this time of the year. Two negro boys went rabbit hunting the other day near this place. One of them shot the other badly but not se riously. Rev. G. S. Tumlin, for a little recrea tion, went out hunting during the recent snow. After almost exhausting himself searching for game, a rabbit jumped up before him. In a very excited rnanuer he pointed it out to his companion lain- ter. forgetting that fie had a gun and could shoot. Judge Branson proved himself a suc cessful huntsman this week. lie and his party bagged 58 birds in one afternoon. One of our young merchants boasts of the largest middling of meat ever brought to Kingston. He supplied his customers for a whole week, and had enough left to begin business Monday morning. Col. Shannon, of Franklin, Tenn., has been in our town for a few days. Mr. James Rollins had his hand badly sawed at his mill a few days ago. Capt. Woolley says that on his way to Brunswick he saw land that was only useful to hold the world together. IRONVILLE. News is sparse hereabout. Yet though we haven't any ot that commodity, we have, like “A. C. S.” of Fairmount, “a beautiful mill pond,” whose silvery sheen oft gladdens our hearts and bids us rejoice. Thus we live in anticipa tion of the bright and joyous days of the “June-titue,” when the snow-clouds will have “folded their touts like the Arabs, an 1 silently stolen away.” This same pond—in the language of my sex l should say this lovely pond—is on the clear, winding Petit’s Creek, and sup plies the water which furnishes the power w hich turns the mill which grinds tlie grain lor our enterprising citizens, ihe Munford Bros. Again, this pond is the favorite resort of our people of the various grades and ages in the balmy springtime, when the days are long and sunny. They go there, what think you they go for? They go there to walk and to ride, to fish (?) and to talk, to laugh and to dance, to flirt, and to meet one another and have a good time. In the spring, dear Courant, perhaps we may meet there, too, with the others, when we hear the first whipporvvill’s song. Grain crops badly killed out. Farmers are busy getting ready to plant more. Ladies are longingly looking to their gar dens, but it is of no use, the ground is too cold, so they try the next expedient and sow r some seeds in boxes. Since neighbor “Scribbler” lias “little regard as to w hether Miss so and so is visiting so and so,” he leaves the gap of bis precinct down to my tattling pen. Miss Lollie Haynes,who is spending some time with her mule, Dr. Griffin, of Cass ville, expects soon to go home, then somebody will be so sorry. Oh ! Lordy. Dr. G. can’t stand it any longer*, he must go and meet Mrs. G. at Oxford, on her way from Florida, lie says it’s all Tom foolery, this way living apart, “so when she goes again I go too.” KIND WORDS FOR THE COURANT. “lt. ia a Great Happiness to I>© Praised by Them That are Most Praiseworthy.” We have before us a handsome weekly paper, published and edited at Carters yille, Georgia, by our old and respected friends, Dr. and Mrs. W. 11.

Cedartown Advertiser.] Number 2 of The Cartersville Cou rant lias reached uS. The Courant bears at its head “Doctor and Mrs. W. 11.
