THE COURANT. £vt+rf'i in the roetofflct iU Cartr*tilU, Oa., a eernnd-ela* matter. Tin'll DAY, MAY 7„ 1885~ "~ 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. Judge Underwood, of Home, wan in town last week. Hon. 'V. K. Moore, of Dalton, was in the city Tuesday. * The singing at the Methodist church i9 very good. *4 Itev. Ham Jones has anew daughter— haven’t heard the name yet. Mrs. John Stocks, of Atlanta, is visit ing friends and relatives in town. I)r. Tichener preached a very good sermon at the Baptist church last Sun day. Young men’s meeting did not show up much last Sunday afternoon. What’s the matter ? Rev. Deo. 41. preached one of his characteristic sermons at the Metho dist church on Sunday afternoon. jt weis announced that a protracted meeting would be held in Rev. Mr. Dan iel’s church, beginning next Sunday. Court has adjourned to the 18th. A summary of 1 lie business transacted last week will lie found in another column. Stegall’s picnic was a real success. The Courant was sorry not to be on hand,but editorial duties and the replant ing of corn got in the way. Mrs. J. M. Veach, of Adairsville, is visiting the family of Maj. Foute. She lias a multitude of friends in this vicini ty who are always glad to meet her. Rev. Mr. Robins preached a good ser mon at the Methodist church in the fore noon, and also a good one at Felton’s chapel in the afternoon, on last Sabbath. Lem Munford and John Smith are hack from the Exposition. Both are de lighted vvitli the fun, ttie sights of the show and the cheapness of the New Or leans markets. Miss Mattie Buford, accompanied by her charming young pupils, Misses Sallie May Battle and Nannie Bradley, gave Tin; Cor rant a call on Saturday. They are always welcome guests in the office. 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 ot ice on hand all the time. Parties wishing ice on Sunday can leave orders at Anderson's livery stable, on Erwin street. wy7-3t 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! ‘ A. N. D.

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. Crockery in new shapes— just received by V. L, Williams Cos. All-Wool Nuns Veiling at 18c, worth 30c. Jones Bros. & Cos. 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. _ Lace Buuting at 10c at Jones Bros. & Cos. —i ♦ - Patent Battercake Griddles —every housekeeper should have one. For sale by V. L. Williams & Cos.

White Mountain Triple Motion Ice Cream Freezers at m 7 V. L. Williams & Cos. 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. A Collins D Hamiter A R Hudgins J M Young I Jno Anderson Henry Turnlin j Martin Collins George Cobb I M Maxwell G W Satterfield J W Callahan J D Wilkerson lsham Alley W Satterfield Martin Walker Dan Keever E Majors J H Harrison A A Dobbs J A Gladden Aaron Knight F M Daniel Gus Franklin J C Wofford L M Matthews W C Edwards F M Ford J K Rowau E Payue J Summer A L Barron J R Wikle C C White D W K Peacock J A Stover M A Collins Win Brooks J D Harwell I H Williams J N Dobbs Col Montgomery Mr Clinkscales Starling Robert* R W Satterfield W Hayes R M Pattiilo Milton Loveless Lawyer Stansell 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. Dotted and striped Swiss, “beautiful styles, 18c at Jones Bros. & Cos. 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. Linen Lawns at 1712 C, worth 25c. Jones Bros. & Cos. — 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. 4-THREE stores in ONE.I diaixiberlain, Johnson c & Ooxnpanjr. DRY O OODS, CARPETS, SHOES!

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. - Beautiful line of Embroideries and Laces at Jones Bros. & Cos.

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. Best quality Pacific Lawns, yard wide, 10c, worth 15c. Jones Bros. & Cos. Jones Bros. & Cos. are selling great bargains this week.

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.
