CURRENT COMMENT.
Why Joes she hold her head so high
And look so supescilious,
And pass the other maidens bjr
As it they made her bilious?
Well may she proudly walk the street,
The while her pride increases;
Her crazy quilt is just complete,
Made of ten thousand pieces.
Cool weather again.

Mrs. Geo. T. Fry, of Atlanta, is visiting
in the city, looking at some property
with a view to purchasing. The city is
to be congratulated on the prospect of
such an accession to our cultivated so
ciety.
Mr. Edward Murray, a former citizen
of Bartow county, died in Anniston,
Alabama, on the 28th of April. The citi
zens of this section unite with those of
Anniston in deploring our mutual loss.
To his interesting family we tender our
sympathy. He was one of the most ac
tive, energetic gentlemen who ever lived
in our midst, and the loss of such a hus
band and father is irreparable.
A sneak thief concealed himself in Mr.
L. 15. Mathews' store Saturday night and
was locked up and helped himself to a
few dollars, a silver watch and other
tricks that were handy. He got away
without trouble. His success encourag
ed another light-fingered rogue to vic
timize Mr. William Satterfield much in
the same way on Monday night, getting
more money and less of other things in
the last venture. If this sort of thing
continues it will become monotonous
after awhile.
Mrs. Thomas Amos, (laughter of Mr.
Johnson Adams, (lied on the 27th of
April, at was buried at Pine Log, on the
38th. We chronicled the death of her
father three weeks ago, aud she was
then in flue health. She took pneumonia
and her system soon gave way under it.
She was twenty nine years old, and
leaves four children. She joined the
Baptist Church when she was* about six
teen, and her trust in her Saviour never
faltered. Of course, she wanted to live
for her children, to whom she was a most
devoted mother; but she was willing for
the Lord to do His Holy will with her and
hers. She had every attention from her
friends and neighbors, and the bereaved
husband and kindred return hearty and
grateful thanks to them for their sympa
thizing attention and neighborly kind
ness.
The sale of the valuable property so
long advertised in the Corn ant has been
postponed. The defendants to the suit
obtained an injunction which will be
heard before Judge Fain, on the ISth.
Then another day of sale will be ordered,
if the injunction is not sustained, and if
it should be sustained the property will
not go to sale until fall, if then. The
times are unfavorable at this juncture for
selling large bodies of real estate, owing
to the depression in tinaucial circles, and
continued failures in Crops, and we
would be glad to see the property bring
priees that would be just to all parties
concerned. An honest effort to build up
the business interests of Cberofcee, Qeor
gia, should, at least, receiva the sympa
thy it deserves.
The Pearl reading and Social Club
met Monday evening at the residence of
Mr. W. C. Elwards. The election of
officers was tirst in order, and Mr. Ge<v.
W. Maddox was re-elected President;
Miss Maggie MeCanless, Vice President;
Dr. J. A. Dobbs, Secretary, and Miss
Ida Dobbs, Treasurer. The regular ex
ercises were gone through with, and each
member acquitted themselves with cred
it. The club decided to picnic on Sat
urday, the 16th instant, at Mumford’s
Mills, and the Ironville Club and their
friends are to be invited to join us. A
vote of thanks was tendered Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Elwards for hospitality. The
next meeting will be held at Capt. P. L.
Moon’s residence, on Monday eveuing
next, wheu a very interesting program
me will be presented. Tu* Couraxt is
invited.
Ice, Ice, Ice,
J. R. Audersou will keep a large stock

wishing ice on Sunday can leave orders

Mrs. Veal, nee, Miss Lucy Peacock, is
visiting her parents in the city. A sight
of her well remembered face is a treat to
her old friends. Little Frank Veal is a
sprightly young gentleman of five
months, who accompanies his mother.
If there is a vacancy for the legisla
ture, which is now most likely, since
Hon. A. W. Fite has been appointed to a
deputy collectorship under Internal Rev
enue Collector Crenshaw, there will be
an opportunity for some patriot to sacri
fice himself for the good of the county.
The farms adjacent to Cartersviile are
needing rain. Unless Jupiter Pluyius
should decide to visit us, the oat and
wheat crop will never get up high
enough to cut. Young clover and grass
are also suffering, and corn and cotton
will not come up unless a gentle shower
should chance to reach us soon.
Mrs. Martha Todd, the mother of Mrs.
Thomas Rogers, who was buried on last
Thursday at the cemetery, was once our
near neighbor and friend. It is pleasant
to hear testimony to her excellence and
fidelity in every relation of life. She
looked well to ihe ways of her household
and war always ready for every good
word and work. Earth is poorer by her
departure, but our loss is her gain.
Harold Baxte-, the bright little boy
who was so dear to many of us, was
buried at the cemetery on Thursday af
ternoon. Harold’s gentle manners and
beautiful deportment won him many
friends among the children, and grown
people also, and we are grieved that his
young life, so full of promise and good
ness, was cut off so suddenly. We ten
der our sincere sympathy to the bereav
ed friends and relatives.
There has been a change of schedule
on the W. & A. Railroad and the Rome
Express. The Limited Express now
leaves Atlanta at 1:30 p. m., and reaches
Chattanooga at G:SO p. m. The Rome
Express leaves Rome at 8 a. in., and gets
to Atlanta 11:15 a. ra. The former noon
train at this place now reaches Atlanta at
3:15 p.m. Wo incline to think both the
Rome Express and the down train are
too late for passengers from this section
who wish to run to Atlanta for a day
and return. The former schedule was
much the best as to time, but Carters
viile does not always get what she wants
in railroad matters as a rule. We think
it will be again changed very soon.
Harold Akin Baxter,
Was born near Cartersviile, Ga., July
23, 1873. and died in Atlanta, Ga., April
29, 1885. He was the only child of our
late fellow-townsman, Mr. T. W.
Baxter, by his first wife,
nee Miss Eliza Akin, a daughter of the
late Col. Warren Akin. The disease
which carried him away was a malig
nant type of soarlet fever.
Thus died a child of unusual promise.
Intelligent far beyond the average, cour
ageous, bright, full of life and sprightli
ness, with a certain nobility of character
which shone from beaming eyes beneath
a brow of fine expanse, it would seem in
this case indeed that “death loves a shin
ing mark.” In his books he was apt and
quick, and in the few years of his life
had acquired a considerable degree of in
formation. Out of his books, the activity
of his mind amounted almost to intellect
ual restlessness. Of keen discernment,
clear judgment and quick decision, he
gave promise of an intelligence which,
when mature, would have made him a
marked man in any community.
His manners were unusual for one of
his years. Those of our readers who re
member the sweet gentleness of his
sainted mother, and how beautifully were
blended in her a mind of unusual
strength with a heart rich in all that
makes woman lovely, were not surprised
to see in her son so gifted a boy.
lu almost inspired verse, the poet sang:
‘■Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb.”
Ah, faithful tomb! To thee we com
mit our flowers. Keep this opening bud,
as thou didst the Rose of Sharon, until
in immortal beauty it blooms in that
land where flowers never fade!

Stilesboro Picnic.
About one hundted persons, of all
sizes and ages, all wearing a happy and
expectant look, boarded tbe E. & W.
train last Saturday morning, for Stiles
boro. The train makes good speed, and
the party were soon landed at that depot-
Several gentlemen with buggies were on
hand, ready to convey the fair sex to
the picnic grounds. On the spot were
gathered about five hundred people,
mostly bent on having a good time.
Pretty girls were numerous, also bent on
captivating the young larks, who were
brushed up in their Sunday best for the
frolic. The older persons had laid aside
the cares of life for one day, and met to
gether to talk over the past and encour
age each other for the future. The prin
cipal attraction was the base ball ground
in the forenoon and after dinner the ball
room. A string band from Rome fur
nished tbe music and the dancers enjoy
ed the pastime hugely. Dr. Cochran
was considered the best dancer on the
floor. Mr. Cunyus’ store house was a
good place for the fun, and they “tripped
the light fantastic toe” until train time.
Anybody who ever attended a Stilesboro
picnic understands the quality of the
dinner. It w’as a tiptop banquet this
year and no mistake, and the whole
crowd were hospitably and generously
entertained. Cartersviile was well rep
resented in Mr. and Mrs, J. W. Akin,
Misses Mamie Wikle and Annie Stansell,
Mrs. Gerald Griffin and Mis3 Stephens,
Misses Lula and Fannie B. Jones, Miss
Isa Williams with a bevy of Mrs. Brame’s
charming pupils, and many others too
numerous to mention. Miss Smith, of
Atlanta, was there, the guest of Mrs. J.
W. L. Brown, a very popular and at
tractive young lady. Misses Grace and
Dean Cochran represented their section
handsomely, as did Miss Lola Calhoun,
of Cedartown. Rome was represented
by Messrs, Lee and Trout, Dr. Cochran,
Capt. Shelman and Joel T. Conyers, Esq.
and Col. Charley Patterson were the
mauagers of the day, and everybody
agreed that it was ‘done up’ to perfec
tion. The academy will be arranged for
the amusements of next year’s picnic,
and all the good people of the county are
invited to be present.
It was a most enjoyable day, taken al
together, and these social reunions are
great things to invigorate the heart and
mind. The Stilesboro people extended
their invitations to all to come again.
Pomp Johnson was there, of course, in
all the glory and noise, of “Ice cold lem
onade!” “Ice cream frozen hard!” and
the various changes on both that Forap
has acqnired by long practice and com
placency.
The game of base ball was played be
tween the clubs of Cartersviile and Ce
dartown. Mr. John W. Akin was um
pire, Jim Milam and S. E. Smith, of
Rockmart, scorers. Cartersviile came
off “second best” in the heat, but as this
was only a practice game, the best of the
nine were not present. The captains
agreed to give another game in Carters
viile soon, though the date was not fixed.

Petit’s Creek Club.
This club met at Mr. W. W. Cotton’s
last Saturday afternoon, all the members
except three present. The cultivation of
cotton, corn and peas, were the topics
for discussion, Mr. R. L. Rogers giving
s splendid talk on the subject. The so
lution of the labor question, as discussed
by tbe Courant a short time since, is,
that the negro is the best laborer for the
south. Not the negro in Afrioa, but the
negro born and raised in this country.
But he must be watched. The landlord
must give his attention to him and his
work as the merchant would his mer
chandise. The negro has been raised to
be controlled, and he don’t expect any
thing but that the landlord should watch
him. If he commits one offense tell him
of it, if the second, do not hesitate to re
buke him and he will then feel and
know that the white man is his superior
and that he must submit to his dictation.
If several offenses are committed before
he is rebuked, both he and the landlord
will get mad and the negro will leave the
landlord in the lurch.
The next question far discussion is of
vast importance to the farmers not only
ot the county but the whole state. It
embraces three distinct heads.
Ist. Should the royalty for the analy
sis of fertilizers be reduced to actual ex
penses ?
2nd. Is the agricultural department
of benefit to the farmers of the State ?
3d. Would the establishment of ex
j perimental farms by the legislature be of
advantage to the farmers?
A resolution was passed requiring each
member to keep an accurate account of
the time and manner of plowing each
acre that the premium is offered for, and
how said acre shall be measured. The
; club adjourned, tQ meet at Hon. W. H.
Felton’s, the first Saturday afternoon in
June. _

Fun Ahead.
On to-morrow afternoon (Friday) there
will be a mammoth game of town ball
played in this city. Everybody is in
vited, who is over forty years old. None
younger need apply for any position in
the game, but all the ladies, the youngs
ters, the chaps and the pretty girls may
stand by and see it well done.
It is no new fangled game of base
ball that is on docket—it is old fashioned
town ball. A. R. Hudgins, Esq., will
call time, spit on the chip and throw it
up, and Aaron Collins, Esq., will be on
hand to give the game a push. We ap
pend some of the names affixed to the in
vitation; for the country boys ever forty
are all invited.

There are but a few exceptions as to
age that are now agreed upon. Henry
Turnlin is so lean that the town ballists
are willing to take him, for the base ball
crowd wouldn’t have him. Dave Curry
can play, a3 his hair is getting so thin
on tbe top of his head that he needs the
company of the old folks to feel at home.
Now if this town ball play don’t lay
all tbs base ball affairs in the shade the
Courant is mightily mistaken. Kings
ton, Stilesboro, Adairsville, Cassville,
Cass station and Altoona can send in
their best men, for tbe town ball club
say they can play twenty or thirty on a
side without any trouble. To compare
the “town ball forty” to a “base ball
nine” would be like comparing the
United States army to a squad of bush
whackers. Come one, come all, and look
on if you are not old enough to be en
titled to a share in the game. Being
young is not your fault, but your mis
fortune this time, and if you live long
enough you can recover from it.

Mr. William White
Father of our countyman, Col. James
White, paid the Courant a visit a few
days ago. He will be eighty-one years
of age next Saturday, wa3 born in Pen
dleton district, S. C., moved to this
county in 1838, when the Indians were
being collected to be carried West of the
Mississippi, He owned the lot of land
on which ’Possum Trot is now located.
His wife is still living. They raised
thirteen children, ten boys and three
girls. Of these one son fell in battle and
two died in the Confederate army. Nine
of the children are still living—and
they have now one hundred and five
grand-children and some great-grand
children. He is a hale, vigorous man,
spry and active as to bodily strength and
remarkably bright as to mental vigor.
Ilis reminiscences of the old times,
when this country was new to the whites,
are very interesting. He was well ac
quainted with many of the prominent
characters mentioned by Judge Under
wood. He now owns a mare, that is in
good working order, which was ten
years old at the surrender, making the
faithful animal over thirty years old. Mr.
White was, he tells us, a sickly boy, and
took to chewing tobacco to help his health,
and he has chewed regularly, not ex
cessively, however, during his long life,
and yet he so well preserved. When he
was a boy he says tobacco was the only
crop that went to market. It was rolled
in hogsheads to Charleston, there to
be inspected before a pound could be
sold, in looking at this hearty veteran
one cannot help wondering if the race of
strong men is running out. We see so
few who can com Dare with them.

A Dangerous Railroad Crossing.
A3 James Tumlin, Esq., with his
wife, Mrs. Jerry Field and her two chil
dren, were driving down the Tennessee
road from Cartersville to Allatoona, on
Tuesday afternoon, they narrowly es
caped a very serious accident. Just as
they reached the crossing on Mr. Puck
ett’s farm, the Home Accommodation
train blowed its whistle right before them.
The curve in the wagon road and an
excavation for the railroad track pre
vents either the engineer or the traveller
on the wagon road from seeing each oth
er until a collision is frequently threat
ened. Had not Mr. Tumlin been a very
athletic and active person, his family
would have been seriously injured, if
nothing worse had occurred. It seems
to us that there should be some remedy
for this evil. This crossing has been a
source of arix’ety and danger to travellers
for thirty years. The writer narrowly
escaped a very serious accident at the
same spot from the same course. There
is no danger signal to travellers unac
quainted with the road, and, in fact, we
doubt i? anything but a change in the
wagon road will ever meet the trouble.
Our county commissioners would do
well to examine into the matter and we
are assured Mr. Puckett w'U be as gen
erous as the county, in obviating the
trouble by granting anew right-of-way.
Mrs. Vaughn.
Since writing the notice of Mn.
Vaugn, which appeared in last week’s
Cocraxt, we have ascertained the exact
number of ner descendants, and also her
exact age. Her grand-children, great
grandchildren, and great-great-grand
children, number one hundred and
eighty-five. If she lives she wiU be 98
years old the 12th day of next July.
Can the world beat this remarkable old
lady ? She lives near Pine Log, Bartow
county, Georgia.

Stegall’s Ficuic.
The friends who met last Friday ; t
Stegall’s for a day of plaasure and* re
creation, came away delighted. The
Acworth Presbyterian Sunday School
met the visitors from other points and
all had a good time. The Girls’ Brass
Band, from Cartersville, was on hand,
the boys soon began to “steal partners’ *
and jump around to the ninsjc. The
old loiks had a good time with a gan e
of ball, and Win. Everidge, Esq., just
beat the crowd for agility and adroitness.
Words fail to represent the dinner, it
was superb. Those of us who had been
stretching out the time with a little tur
nip salad and a few radishes, felt like the
lines had fallen to us in pleasant places
that day. The fun, the dinner, the
girls and the spry old folks, just eclipsed
anything in the market. The old folks’
bail game is catching, for we are told
Cartersviile determined to outdo Stegall’s
on the same line of action Friday.

PiNE LOG-
Farmers are all up with their work.
Cotton and corn coming up briskly.
Miss Mamie Addington and Benjamin
Schooler were married on Sunday even
ing at the residence of the bride’s father.
Pine Log had her annual picnic on
May 2d, and it passed off nicely. The
young folks had a platform and danced
to the music of the Cartersviile band.
Citizens trom Cartersviile, Fairmount,
the 6th district and Salacoa, were with
us. Mr. Houk and Miss Reuse were
there from near Sonora. One of the fea
tures of the dinner was a line wild tur
key killed by Mr. Joe Dysart, which
weighed, we are told, twenty-five
pounds, and the old bird had a beard
nearly thirteen inches long. llovv long
the gobbler roamed the woods around
Pine Log, nobody knows, but he was
seal fat and delightfully well cooked and
toothsome.
The health of the community is better
than for some weeks past.
Rev. F. A. Owens preached an able
sermon at Oak Hill last Sunday.
John A. Gladden enjoyed the picnic
hugely.
Dearest Cousin Grace: —As you
asked the Ironville school to write to you
I will do so with the greatest pleasure.
All the little girls will thank you for
asking them to write you, whether they
can write or not, and they will thank
dear Mrs. Felton just for giving them a
corner in her newspaper.
Papa takes the Couraxt and likes it
very much, and I do too, especially the
children’s corner. I am going to school
now and hardly have time to speak for
getting my lessons; if I miss a word I
can’t get a perfect card in the evening.
I think they are so nice pasted in a scrap
book. I would do almost anything for
them. You know children like picture
cards. I am a little girl twelve years of
age; have made three calico quilts and
have started a worsted quilt but cannot
finish it until school is out. I will lie so
sorry when school is out I won’t know
what to do; yes, I do, too, I will go to
see my dear teacher and playmates, for I
love them so, and they love me so, that
we cannot stav apart. I will close to get
my lessons. Yours, truly,
Nannie M. B.

£ KISS BY MOONLIGHT.
From time immemorial, no one will pretend to
deny the fact that k sses have been held in high
repute by both sexes—whether active or passive.
It has been decided that a LEGAL KISS implies
ACTION on both parties; but when a lady sim
ply consents to be kissed without action of her
lips, it constitutes only a PASSIVE kiss—a sweet
deprived, of its nectar.
Snugly enconsced within a moss-embowered
and vine-clad verandah, and almost hid from
view amid sweet-scented honeysuckles, was
seated a fair Atlanta nymph, whose beautiful
dark eyes, alabaster complexion and voluptuous
contour, seemed to DAZE the young gent by her
side, who ever and anon,while circumnavigating
her slender waist, gave her a BUSS and then a
HE-BUSS to the amazement of a pedestrian who
happened to he passing that beautiful moonlight
night. At that moment the lover was heard to
ask, “My dear darling Sarah Jane, you are be
coming more beautiful every day; your eyes
sparkle with more brilliancy, your once pale
cheeks have been painted by the roseate hues of
nature, and you seem to have entirely regained
your health. Will you tell me the cause of the
change?”
“I have simply used that wonderfully effective
blood remedy known as B. B. B.”
The Atlanta Constitution,
In a long article relating to the B. B. 8., of that
city, says:
The Blood Balm Company started one year
ago with $162.00, but to-day the business cannot
be bought for s*o,oool
The demand and satisfaction given in said to
be without a parallel, as its action is pronounced
wonderful.
We are glad to announce that our druggist
have already secured a supply, and we hope our
readers will supply themselves at once.
It is said to be the only speedy and permanent
blood poison remedy offered, giving entire satis
faction in all cases, before one battle has been
used. For Blood Diseases, Kidney Trouble,
Scrofula, Catarrh, Old Ulcers, and Skin Diseases,
try one bottle B. B. B.
Blood Balm Cos., Atlonta, Ga., will mail froe
of cost, a book filled with information about the
blood, the Kidneys, Scrofula, etc., etc.
