Somebody found an obi foot ball last
Monday, and ever since that time the
business men and loafers on Main street
have been having a magnificently royal
time.
The new Estoy organ at the Methodist
church is a splendid instrument. The
tone is rich, strong, full and melodious.
The singing at this church last Sunday
and Sunday night was very good, indeed.
Our astrological observation a .week or
two ago that there would be an early
and startling marriage in Cartersville,
seems to have been a mere flash in the
pan. We perused the signs in our pro
phetic zodiac too rapidly.
Passenger train No. 2, on the East and
West railroad, due at Cartersville, 5 p.
ni., was three hours behind Monday after
noon last. This delay was caused by a
small-sized run oil a short distance be
low Hebron, Ala. Nobody hurt.
The exhibition at the opera house
Tuesday night was a success. We have
seen larger audiences in that hall, but
we have seldom seen there an audience
of better quality. Arthur Love and
George Ilurtch are a show themselves.
Joe Bradley’s little son, while playing
with his brother last Sunday morning,
had two of his fingers chopped off with
a meat axe. Mr. Bradley is one of the
best citizens of the county, and we are
very sorry to learn of his little boy’s
mishap.
Mr. E. O. Eutch, of Brunswick, Ga.,
has sent Mr. J. E. Marshall, of this
place, the shell of a star-fish. The shell
has a star shape and is a very pretty or

thing of a curiosity.
The transition from one pastime to
another in Cartersville is shockingly sud

this week foot ball has seized upon our
fun-loving citizens and has shaken them
up from center to circumference.
There is less drunkenness in Carters
ville now than there has ever been be
fore. This we say on the authority of
our oldest citizens. To a superficial ob
server there may appear to be less busi
ness transacted than before prohibition
carried. But there is simply less bluster,
swearing and loud talking, while the real
business is equally as good if not better.
Mr. Will Gilbert, of Cassvillo, his sis

thrown from a buggy at the corner of
Erwin and Market streets yesterday
morning. The mule they were driving
became frightened, ran away, and the
buggy was overturned. Beyond a few
bruises, nobody was hurt. The little
girl was very badly frightened.
There has been a marked and steady
increase in the attendance at the Carters
ville Sunday schools for the past few
weeks, and the juvenile pastime of at
taching damaged tinware to the canine
caudal, is now a thing of antiquity. Even
the tough and flinty-hearted printer is
gradually softening under the mellowing
beams that radiate from the Methodist
Sunday school.
“Early to tied and early to rise,” is a
maxim invented by an old philosopher
for the especial benefit of boys. Gentle
youth, when you hear your mother’s
voice crawling lazily up-stairs in the
morning, calling “John!” don’t jump
out of bed as if your life depended on
beating the record in getting to the
breakfast table. But if she calls you In a
voice full of italics and small-caps,
bounce and go at once, it is unhealthy to
linger longer.

Real Miry.
We sat at our desk buried in thought,
with an expression of deep concern on
, our mobile brow, while a perfect, cloud
| like aureole of imaginary glory hovered
| over our bead. We were getting ready
to mount the highest stump in the litera
ry field, and to hurl as far as possible
among the many readers •f the Cou
raxt great chunks of gilt-edged local
hits, sarcasm, ridicule and wit. Our
mind was moving along as rapidly and
placidly as the emblematic American
bird sails in his highest flights. When,
lo! a cat-like scratching on the stairway
leading to the office creeps through the
air and strikes the unprotected and deli
cate tympanum of our acute ear. We
recognized the sound instanter, arid at
once proceeded to feel bad, and to wish
that we had never been born, or that we
were immured in a Florida swamp with
alligators as our companions. A weird
like, chilling, soft and gentle as it was
ghostly, knocking was heard at the door.
Tremblingly we opened the door and
our visitor glided in. She was a female
with high-heeled slippers. Whether she
was a blue-eved, golden-haired blonde,
or an old faded blonde, or an aged bleach
ed blonde, or an antique manufactured
blonde, or a willowy brunette with an
air of clinging iyy-ness, we do not know,
nor are we going to guess. While puz
zling our agile mind to stir up something
to say, we blusliingly led her behind our
desk and bowed her into a revolving
chair. Her glittering eyes peered out
from under brows that had undergone
the storms of many winters, and by the
light of the window, near which she sat,
we discovered that she was a lean and
sadly faded blonde, whose wavy loeks
and silver-tinged ringlets hung limp and
loose around her prodigally powdered
face. Agonized and expectant we waited.
But only for two seconds.
She opened a capacious wallet and
began to roll out the distillations of her
spectre-like intellect. Poems on spring,
odes on biblical subjects, eulogiutns on
deceased friends in heroic verse, hec
trammic verse, and short-metered, dac
tylic verse, were unrolled before our
staggered gaze. She explained the
meaning of what she said. We told her
that we were only an humble local
scribe, and could not give her valuable
sml soul-stirring effusions a place in the
paper without consulting the managing
editor. As this was not the first, second
or third time that she had called on us,
she thought that we were trying to es
cape or deceive her. Gathering togeth
er her thin and pristine lips into a tight
ly compressed knot, she began to dissect
what we had said. With ruthless hand
she hurled at us the diplomatic mud of
her disappointment. She ripped up our
statement asif it had been tissue paper,
and then she essayed to knock us silly
with envy by the bedazzling bedad kind
of splendor with which she clothed her
electric thoughts. For ten long, anxious
minutes she held us spell-bound in mis
ery. She filled us as full of real agony
as the treasury is, immediately after the
tax upon bug and stagger juice has been
collected. A farewell and angry frown
corrugated her ancient forehead, and she
swept out with all the majesty of a queen
coupled with the blood-curdling noise
lessness of a departed spirit.
Completely overcome we sank into our
revolving chair. If our many friends
have noticed an unnatural seriousness
on our face, they will please attribute it
to the above incident.

Bartow County’s
Wealth is attracting attention in Europe.
Col. Thus. P. Stovall, of England, has
been in Cartersville since the 7th of
February last. He is representing a
very wealthy English Company who use
large quantities of manganese. He has
been shipping to England samples of the
different varieties of ore found on the
lands of Capt. M. G. Dobbins, in our
county. English capitalists pronounce
the ore of the finest quality in the world.
A.s refined iron ore and steel, in the
manufacture of which large quantities of
manganese is used,can be more easily and
cheaply shipped than the raw r material,
it is very probable that the company rep
resented by Col. Stovall will establish a
colony of Engtishmen near Carters Ville
at an early day for the purpose of manu
facturing these products. We know that
such a thing is being contemplated; and,
taking into consideration the many natu
ral advantages held out by old Bartow,
■re think it more than likely that a
wealthy company will soon begin to
utilize the rich and’ inexhaustible sup
plies of valuable ores and other mineral
deposits that now lie dormant in our soil.
An Intelligent Dog.
East Thursday, while rink Hoyle, a
colored man, was plowing on Levi
Shaw's place, he lost a small tobacco
sack which contained thirty-six dollars
in gold and silver. He and Mr. Shaw
searched diligently for several hours
without finding it. Mr. Shaw then sent
for Jim Sproull and his dog “Don.”
After some little coaxing, they succeeded
in showing the dog what they wanted.
He at once began the search, and, in less
than thirty minutes, he found the lost
money, which was nearly covered up
with loose dirt. Jim Sproull was within
about thirtv yards of the dog when the
money was found. This, we consider
very good for a dog.

A Curiosity.
There was found on Henry Tumlin’s
Indian Mound near this place, day before
yesterday, a beautiful and perfect
instrument. What it was used tor, we
do not know. Perhaps it was a “tree
barker,” an instrument to take the hark
from trees. It was about two and a half
feet long, with one end beveled, broad
ened and blade-shaped. As Col. Thos.
Stovall, of England, remarked, it is
worth its weight in gold.

Doss farming in Bartow county pay ?
This is a question that presents itself to
the thinking mind, and is one of difficult
solution. Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens
asserted that a great majority of the peo
ple of the State were getting poorer
every year, and I fear his words were
too true. When we look over our coun
ty, on the one hand, and see its broad
acres of fertile lands, interspersed with
hill and dale and beautiful undulating
sweeps, watered by a broati river, innu
merable creeks and branches, with bub
bling springs at nearly every homestead,
we are impressed with, the fact that an
All wise Providence has lavished in pro
lusion His rich gifts upon this county
and designed it as the home of a prosper
ous and happy agricultural people. When
we look at the tax books, on the other
hand, and sec that the aggregate amount
of the property of the county is less than
four millions of dollars, and w hen we
ride over the county and see so many
desolate looking farms, going still farther
to rack —see so many empty cribs and
hear so many people complaining of hard
times, we are amazed, and are forced to
the opinion that there is a great fault
somev here. The has
the capacity of supporting many times
the population, if properly cultivated.
When we bring into comparison our fer
tile fields, balmy climate and great range
of production, with the cold, sterile
lands of New England, and their limited
crops, whose fanners survive, prosper
and grow rich, we are still farther im
pressed that we are poor fanners, indeed,
or are guilty of gross mismanagement.
We conceive that one great reason for the
want of thrift and prosperity is, that
many of our farmers are in debt, and are
forced to buy supplies at the exacting
and ruinous rates charged by supply ven
ders. It is an axiom in business life,
that no trade will th.kve that has to be
supported by borrowed money at a great
er rate than seven per cent. Is it a won
der, then, that farmers are kept with
their “noses to the grind stone,” when
they pay one dollar a bushel for corn,
which ca*h will buy at sixty cents (GG~ 3 '
per cent, per annum), coffee, sugar,
grains, calico, aud other necessary sup
plies at fifty per cent., acid at forty per
cent, and so on through the catalogue of
supplies ! This is the sovereign sway of
King Cotton; cultivating him to the ex
clusion of corn, wheat, clover, potatoes,
sorghum, meat, and other things that
can, with ease, be raised, and are so nee
essary to the support and independence
of the farmer and his family. These
credit supply buyers have to sell their
produce nearly always on a dull market,
a regular suicide of their brightest hopes
of prosperity. The general rush to mar
ket of those who aie compelled to sell
out, aggregates the evil of low prices.
Now let us prescribe a remedy which,
we think, will insure convalescence and
finally perfect lieAlth— get out of debt,
pay cash tor what.you are compelled to
buy, and raise your every supply at
home, making cotton your surplus or
money crop.
Our pumpkin farmer had a dream, not
long since, upon which he bu-es ttie pre
diction tii it the present year will he a
propitious one for the pumpkin crop. He
says he dreamed that the war was still
going on and that he was engaged in a
fierce!}- contested battle. He had fought
long and well, and just as the sun was
sinking in the '.vest, in a charge in w hich
they drove the ent y, he reached a beau
tiful little knoll in a weli plowed field
and stopped to reconnoitre the position of
the contending forces. There, amid the
screaming of the shells, hi-sing of the
minie balls, and the havoc and carnage
of the battle field, he stood, calm and col
lected, until he was struck by a shell,
which severed his head from his body,
leaviughirn stiU conscious and with the
power of vision. lie watched the head
as it rolled ofl down the knoll and saw it
burst, scattering iu every direction
pumpkin seed. Boon as if by magic,
vines grew in every direction, blooming
and maturing pumpkins. He stood
transfixed, the arena of war vanished and
no sound was audible save the pushing,
groaning and grunting of the pumpkin
vines as thej£ said to each other: “Git
fudder, git fudder, gib me more room.”
Happy at the result of the campaign he
j stepped down, put a pumpkin on for a
; hea l and went home rejoicing.
I see that your intelligent correspond
ent, “Bartow,” has another communica
tion ou the subject of the assessment of
t !xcs, in reply to some strictures I made
on his first article. lie writes as one
who having assumed a position and
“convinced against his will, is of the
same opinion still.’’ I will, without fur
ther argument on the sufficiency of the
law for the remedy of the evil of which
lie complains, state that the cost of the
system of appraisement would he an in
superable objection. It would create
thirty new officers for the county that
must be paid for their services out of the
hard earnings of a poor and already tax
ridden agricultural people, suffering un
der the depression of two bad crop years.
It would take at least twenty days each
year for the assessors to visit the farms
and critically scan the property of the
tax payers of their several districts; this
would cost at least twelve hundred dol
lars, an amount to be added and collected
in addition to our already burdensome
tax. Our law, as it stands, is ample and
sufficient to correct the evil, and to fer
ret out these false swearers, who will, for
the sake of a few paltry pennies, stultify
themselves before God and man.

Everybody here seems to be well pleas

any of us a place in his cabinet. Well,
he did not promise us anything, and so
I guesa we have no reason to complain.
I have not applied to him for any place
yet, and do not intend to, as he has dis
posed of all that I would have, unless he
would send me as minister to Paris, or
Berlin. I guess I could preach to them,
although I have never tried it. Ido not
want to be minister to London, some of
those dynamiters might get into my Con
gregation when I would get to preach

cannot spare me yet. Let some one else
take the risks, if the Government wants
to send, either ministers, plenipotentiary
or missionary, to England, I will not go.

Gentlemen:
I have been using your wonderful remedy,

virtues and curatiTe power* as Ido. I have
used a great deal of it siuce the birth of my last
child, aliout a year and half ago, and I do think
had it not been for this valuable medicine, I
. would have been

“But my friend, said the man, “ you got hold
of the wrong medicine. Go to the drug store and
get one bottle of B. B. 8., and before using all
of it you will teel better. It is a quick cure. It
will cure all sorts of sores, Scrofula, Blood Poi
son caught on the wing, Itching Humors, Ca
tarrh, Blood and Skin diseases and Kidney
Troubles.”
“1 be so thankful for your Kindness, and will
go get B. B. B. to-day,” replied the monkey.
EYES OF FIRE.
“Oh, might I kiss those eyes of fire,
Ten thousand scarce would quench desire;
Still would Isteep my lips in bliss,
And dwell an age on "every kiss.”
That yonug dude needs something for his
blood; he is utterly too fresh. B. B. B. is the
best thing for him, because one bottle will cure
him. But that dude is not all alone m his ter
restrial glory—not by a “jug full.” Many others
are considerably “rattled” just now about-that
blood poison business, but B. B. B. will cure for
the least money and in the shortest time. The
boom is coming. Purify, Purify.
“Oh, Josie,” said little gleeful Maud,” “we are
going to have some honey made at our house.”
“llow do you know?” asked Josie. “Because
mamma sent the servant after three B’s, and .1
don’t know what bees are for only to make
honey.”

PILES I PILEsTT - PILES!!!
A SURE CURE FOUND AT LAST!
INTO OIS7TG IST HI KX) SUFFER.
A SURE CURE FOR BLIND, BLEEDING,
jjL Itching and Ulcerated Piles has been dis
covered by l>r. Williams, (an Indian Remedy,)
called Dr. Williams' Indian Pile Ointment. A
single box has cured the worst chronic cases of
25 years standing.
No one need suffer five minutes after applying
this wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions,
and electuaries do more harm than good. Wil
liams’ Pile Ointment absorbs the Tumors, allays
the intense itching, (particularly at night after
getting warm in bed), acts as a poultice, gives
instant relief, and is prepared only for Piles,
itching of the private parts, and for notlung else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Coffinberry, of
Cleveland, says about Dr. Williams’ Indian Pile
Ointment: “I have used scores of Pile Cures,
and it affords me pleasure to say that 1 have
never found anything which gave such imme
diate and permanent relief as Dr. Williams’ In
dian Ointment.”
Hon. Judge W. P. Coons, Maysville, Ky., says:
“I have suffered for years with itching piles, and
have used many remedies. I have used Dr.
Williams’ Indian Pile Ointment and been cured,
while every other remedy has failed.” For sale
