Every dog has his day, but the nights are mostly given to the feline tribe. With a magnificent diamond a man can cut his name upon the hardest female heart. The Cot rant job office is now well supplied with a fine lot of material. Send in your orders. The beamy and chivalry of Carters ville proclaim Arthur Love’s Comedy Company a success. Mrs. Sam I’. Jones lias been quite sick since Sunday last. We are glad to state that she is improving. • 01. R. 11. Jones’ carriage shop has just received a coat of paint, which adds greatly to its appearance. To tell a young lady that some other m!-s is beautiful, is a sign that you haven’t enough sense to hammer sand. The minstrel boys had rather a small but very appreciative and greatly pleas ed audience at Marietta last Friday night. A large crowd of gypsies are camped near Cartersville. The favorite walk of the average Cartersvillian is to the gypsy camp. I’rof. Hubert Smith says that polite sarcasm is a paper of pins in a feathei bed, and that fame Is the to-morrow of endeavor. Apples are worth as much in C’arters ville as oranges. John Smith knows how to make quick sales and short profits. A woman rarely knows when to yearn after the infinite until she fall* In love and detects her loved one looking sweet at another girl. We prophecy a big crop of fruit this year. Won’t it be just too jolly to have plenty of nice fruit this year? We opine—wo wot—it will. Persons contributing spring poetry will hand in the names of friends whom they desire to act as pall-bearers, not for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. * 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 nament for the parlor. To ns, off-the coust, North Georgia people, it is some thing of a curiosity. The transition from one pastime to another in Cartersville is shockingly sud den. T.ast week base ball and progress ive euchre swelled out in bold relief ; 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 ter and bis brother’s little girl were 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. A fine lot of clean clover seed at bot tom prices at Curry’s. 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. The prescription department at Curry’s is headed by W. E. Miller, a gentleman with fifteen years’ experience in the bus iness. 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. The Golden Argosy.

Johnson, of the Atlanta Consti tution, was doing Cartersville Monday last. The Constitution is immensely popular in Cartersville, and its genial and indefatigable representative in the person ot C. S. Johnson, always does well when in our city. We had the pleasure of a call from Maj. Stovall in the Courant office. lie and Mrs. Stovall came over in January last to visit Hon. M. A.

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.

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. Scribbmck. CSDAHTOWW. Absence from town-prevented me from sending “dots” last week, and my “bet ter half” made me work in the garden this morning for about two hours and came very near preventing my writing this week, but I told her that I was hot and tired, and had “business of impor tance” to attend to, and I got off. Our merchants are having a good trade, for the season, and our farmers are taking advantage of this tine weather, and are planting a little corn and putting in guano for a crop of cotton. Everybody here seems to be well pleas ed with the beginning President Cleve land has made, although he did not give 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 ing to them, and the State of Georgia 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. “ Dr. S. A.
