A dainty card, with “The Compliments

a large bovl of the very finest strawber
ries we have seen in years found its way
into the Corn ant otttce last Monday. The
name of the particular variety we have
not yet discovered, but they were superb
ns to size, sweetness and color. After we
prepar~d them for the table, and while
. they were enjoyed by all the editorial
staff, Miss Bettie’s right ear must have
burnt —according to the old saying. “If
your right ear burns somebody is saying
good tilings about you.” We will be
obliged to return Miss Bettie's “compli
ne nts with good words at this writing ;
but when our ship sails iu, and brings us
something nice, her name is booked for a
divide—on the top line. It was sweet
ami kind in our bright eyed litile friend
to remember us. and we hope her future
w.d --rant her all the joy and success that
her girlhood promises.
We are headquarters for Pearllne.

The Pearl Reading Club’s Picnic.
Dear Courant : The picnic of
Pearl Reading and Social Club at Mum
ford Bros. Mill last Satui day was a per
fect sucoess. About 8 o'clock some twen
ty five of the dub and invited guests left
town in wagons, etc., and in due time
were on the grounds. A letter from ihe
Ironville Club, received a day or two be
fore-hand, satisfactorily explained their
failure to meet our club, nevertheless we
found several persons ready to receive us
and assist during the day to enhance
pleasure. Among them were Miss Mattie
Pittard and her sister, Miss Etta Bradley,
Mr. Will Rowland, Robert Renfroe, and
others whose names we failed to get. Iu
the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Mumford
called, and we were mortified to learn
they didn’t consider themselves invited to
spend the day with us. The secretary of
our club extended an invitation to the
Ironville club and their friends, and we
naturally presumed them to be included.
This Is the only thing that occurred during
the day to mar our pleasure. Fishing (in
the creek and on the land), boat riding and
other amusements were engaged in until
the dinner hour arrived, when* all pleas
ure ceased and the business of eating
claimed everybody’s attention. There
was enough and plenty to spare. Several
members of the club distinguished them
selves as noble eaters. We noticed one
cake Wfeautifully embossed and bearing the
symbolic lettets, “P. R. & S. C., 1885/
prepared by Miss Maggie McCanless,
which was admired by all. The other
viands were as nice as nice could be, and
this particular cake is noticed on account
of its symbolic dressing. After dinner
the crowd repaired to the mill house and
engaged in some romping plays, and from
there, upon invitation, we had some choice
music on the piano from Misses Lila Dan
iel and Ida Johnson. Mrs. George Mad
dox and her son, Emmett, gave us a few
pieces on the piano and harp, which were
well received. Some of the boys engaged
in a game of base ball, so throughout the
entire day all seemed to enjoy themselves
to the utmost. The sun sinking in the j
west admonished us we must soon be j
going, and by five o’clock the ent:re party ,
were on their way home, where all arriv
ed without any jar or mishap, and all
were loud in their praise of our first picnic.

House Moving, Raising, Etc.
Many Carte rsvillians now have, for the
first time, an opportunity of seeing a house
moved. Rev. Sam Jones is having his
residence removed to a more suitable loca
tion in his superb lot, and Messrs. Pim &
Taylor, of Atlanta, have tho contract for
doing the work. Workmen have been
engaged for a day or so in putting under
timbers preparatory to moving, and the
moving process is now going on. 1 lie
work will be dono well, as the gentlemen
who have the work in charge are expe
rienced and have the very latest equip
ments. Messrs. Pim & Taylor would like
for thoso that contemplate having work
done in their line to call and examine the
work now in hand. Their permanent ad
dress is 150, Davis street, Atlanta. They
give the best satisfaction and guarantee
all their work. Our people, who have
not seen a house moved, should go out
and see Mr. Jones’ transplanted on an
other spot, and not a nail drawn or a
blemish on the building to show that the
house had undergone a change of its lo
cality.
Ice, lee, Ice.
J. It. Anderson will keep a large stock

A SLIGHT CO It RECTI ON.
Atlanta, May 18, ISBS.
Editors Cor rant I have read with
marked interest the articles contributed to
vour columns by Judge Underwood, whose
prtriotic example should be followed by
others, in gathering and preserving the
memorials of Georgia’s past history. The
time will come when such data will prove
of great value to the historian 01 the
future. I desire, however, to correct a
slight error into which. .T udge l nderwood
has fallen. He says Milton county was
named for John Milton, a distinguished
Georgian. The Judge probably referred
to Col. Homer Virgil Milton, the father of
John Milton, who became Major of tbe
Thitd U. S. Infantry in 1808, Lieutenant
Colonel of the Fifth Infantry in 1810, and
Colonel of the Third Infantry in 1813. In
1814 he was in command in the territories
of Mississippi and Missouri, and was
looked upon as a distinguished soldier and
distinguished citizen. His son John
moved to Florida and became governor of ;
that state. Many persons have supposed j
that an eminent fellow-citizen. Dr. Homer i
Virgil Milton Miller, so widely known as j
the “Orator of the Mountains,” was |
named after a trio of ancient poets, j
although he has no poetry in his soul. He ;
derived his poetical and high-sounding j
name from Col. Milton, and feels prouder
of the fact than he would to have been
named after the immortal poets of old.
In closing, permit me, an old journalist,
to compliment you on the handsome ap
pearance of your paper, as well as the suc
cessful efforts you are making to fill its
columns with matter that can be read with
profit as well as pleasure. \ou deserve
'he most abundant pecuniary returns for
your good endeavors.
Yours fraternally.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.
I CASSVILLE
The readers of the Atlanta Constitution
have had a number of letters Irotu our in
imitable Bill Arp on the subject of
Texas, from his half-comic, half-serious
standpoint, which have created a wide
spread intt. rest. Thinking that the earn
est views ol a country-raised boy, who
has been sojourning in that great state
for the past eight months, watching with
a critical eye its good and bad qualities
with a view of determining whether or
not to make it his future home), would
he of interest to your many readers, we
have put ourselves to some trouble to in
terview our friend John W. Irapp,
who is fresh from the prairies of the
northern part of the state. Mr. J rapt) is
an exemplification of what a poor young
man can do under adverse circumstances
who" has the nerve and determination.
Without means and without friends,
he has acquired a good common school
education and accumulated in the mean
time some little money, thereby proving
the truth of the old adage that he is fully
able to “tote his own skillet.” I love to
watch the rise and progress ot these poor
boys as they breast the current and swim
superior to every difficulty. It is their
peculiar province iu this free country of
ours to contest for the prizes in the race
of life, where merit alone stands the test,
and where “honor or dishonor from no
condition rise; act well your part, there
all the honor lies.” We shall give the
interview in as near his own words as
we can remember them, trusting him im
plicitly for a true version of the good and
bad qualities of the state.
“How are you pleased with the state
of Texas?”
“There are many things I like very
much, while there are other things that
are very unpleasant. Texas, as you are
aware, is a large state, having an area of
a little over 274,000 square miles, extend
ing from a semi-tropical region to a
higher southern temperature. In this
vast territory you find the soil varying
from the poor sand barrens to the rich
est alluvial bottoms, and capable of pro
ducing in the lower latitudes the orange,
banana, grape fruit and magnolia, while
in the northern and northwestern part
of the state wheat, oats, barley, rye,
corn, cotton and all of the cereals grow
to perfection. The Texans are boastful
of the great variety and fertility of their
soil, their almost boundless prairies with
their extensive ranches of nutritious
grasses, cropped by cattle that go to sup
ply the eastern and foreign markets.
They boast of their financial advantages,
based on their millions of acres of public
domain and of their public school system,
which lias a reserve fund of $75,000,000.
In many counties they run a ten months’
public school, employing teachers of a
high grade, paying them from S4O to
SIOO a month, according to ability.”
“What of the health of the state, and
what about the ‘norther*?’ ”
“In the timbered sections, and on
some water courses there are more or
less local causes for chills and fever, but
out on the open prairies and up among
the hills it is as healthy as any part of
North Georgia. The northers, or ‘bliz
zards,’ as some call them, are a great
terror to new settlers, and well may
they dread them if caught out unawares
or unprepared. The wind on the prairies
is blowing almost incessantly from some
direction; but just before the approach
of these northers there is a dead calm,
with a falling mercury. In the north
west horizon can be seen a small dark
cloud rising, that rapidly develops and
spreads, and before an hour has elapsed
the wind is blowing a hurricane, with a
chilling capacity sufficient to freeze the
horns oft’ a billygoat. In the winter
time they are often very destructive to
stock, but in the summer they serve but
to cool and make more pleasant the at
mosphere.
“What kind of water is there, and
how do they obtain it?”
“Some parts of Texas have limestone
and freestone springs, with branches,
cieeks and rivulets; but in the black
belt, which is by tar the most productive,
running water is very scarce. Water is
here obtained for stock by digging tanks
and wells. Some of the more progress
ive farmers have artesian wells. The
drinking water is supplied principally
by cisterns, which is regarded the best
and healthiest.”
“What of the society ?”
“In the older settled portions of the
state the society is good. The people are
wealthy, intelligent, enterprising, and
some are religious; but out on tbe fron
tier there is less refinement and civiliza
tion. The castes iu society are not so
well defined and drawn so closely as iu
Georgia. There is more sociability and
moie intermingling of the people. They
are more intent on making money than
building to themselves elegant surround
ings. The people in the country live in
log and eoinmon frame houses, paying
little attention to style or adornment.
Yet at these same cabins you frequently
see forty or fifty bales of cotton, full
cribs of corn, and two or three hundred
hea l of cattle grazing on the prairies
nearby, ready for the market.”
“What about timber for fences and
firewood?”
“Some portions of Texas have an
abundance of timber. Some parts is
mixed timber and prairie, while another
part is entirely prairie. This latter seo
tion has wire fenoes, and they have to
haul their firewood in some instances i
twenty-five miles. They find time to
do this, however, as they have no rails
to split, no fences to build and repair, no
sprouting to do and no guano heaps to
manipulate. The land is easily culti
vated, and much of it is done in some
sections by machinery. They have ma
chines by which the corn is planted and
cultivated, by which the cotton land is
laid off, beddsd and planted at the same
operation, while the workman can ride
at his ease under the shade of a wide
spreading umbrella.”
“Whom would you advise to go to
Texas?”
“I would adyise all industrious, enter
prising young men, who want to better
theft* fortunes, to go. There are many
ways and opportunity for making
money there which the older states do
not offer. It is a country whose towns
and cities spring up as if by magic, and
immigrants are coming in yearly by the
thousand to open up and put in cultiva
tion these rich prairie lands. It ia where
land is advancing in price all the while;
where every avocation of life is in a
thriving condition, and where the poor
can obtain a home, sweet home, for
themselves and their children upon the
moat liberal terms. While I love Geor
gia with a son’s devotion for a mother, I
conceive it my duty to go where I can
with the more certainty and ease carry
out the aims and ambitions of my life. I
shali leave Georgia with regret, and with
the sentiment of Savannah’s distinguished
poet:
Georgia, niy native state, my cherished home—
Hallowed alike by smile and tear—
May glory o’er thee build her dome,
And fame her temples rear.

A CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR.
Postmaster-General Vilas Preparing for
the Removal of Partisan'Postmasters.
The following circular, which ex
plains itself, lias been issued by the .Post
master-General. It has thus far been
sent to the democratic members of con
gress from the States of Ohio, Indiana
and Virginia, and will be sent to mem
bers and delegations from other States:
[ CONFIDENTIAL. ]
Postoffice Department, Office of
Postmaster-General, Washington, D.
C., April 20, 1885.— Dear Sir: The con
tinued illness of Mr. Hay will delay his
coming for some time yet to the depart
ment, and 1 think it desirable that some
action should be taken in the way of re
movals, and am impatient to assist our
people in securing relief to which they
are justly entitled from partisan post
masters. I have had a conference with
the Virginia delegation and they will
soon bring in their cases, and I shall
hope to make the earliest removals in
that State. A3 soon as they, shall be
ready, and I hope within a week, I de
sire to appoint from three to ten in a
county in Virginia, amounting to several
hundred altogether. I had intended to
invite yourself and the democratic dele
gation from Ojiio to meet me this week
and consider the plan upon which we
should proceed in making removals
in Ohio. But I understand it will be
inconvenient for some to travel hither
now, and it has occurred to me that per
haps the same end might be accom
plished by writing. I shall beg you,
therefore, to consider the suggestions I
make as to the procedure, and if you can
adopt them and get some eases ready
within the next two or three weeks I
think within the month of May I can
give substantial relief that will take
away the importunity and discontent.
I think that from 15 to 35 per cent, ot
the fourth-class postmasters in Ohio
might be removed within the next two
months, and great good accomplLhed
thereby, if our people adhere to a pro
posed plan.
This is, in short, to pick out the most •
obnoxious and offensive partisans in each
county to the number of a sixth to a
quarter of all, and choose first-class men
to take their places. I will require no
more proof of partisanship in these selec
tions than the affirmation of knowledge
on the part of a representative or sena
tor that the postmaster ha3 been an ac
tive editor or proprietor of a Republican
newspaper printing offensive articles,
easily shown by slips; or a stump speak
er, or member of a political committee,or
I officer of a campaign club, or organizer
i of political meetings, or that his office
has been made the headquarters of po
litical work, or that his clerks have been
put into the performance of poltical
; duties. Perhaps oilier acts of equal torce
, may be noted in some cases. If the rep
resentative does not know the fact, it
1 should be established by seme atfi iavit
| of some person whom he can affirm o be
of unquestioned credibility, or by
some documentary evidence.
In recommending for appointm it, I
beg the representative will state the age,
I business and what kiud of busine-s ex
| parienee, and a description of the busi
| ness character of the applicant, and also
of his habits and standing in the com
munity. It weuld be well to file evi
dence showing that he will be sat Uf&e
tory to the community, and when there
are various candidates I shall be obliged
bv any explanation which the repre
sentative can give.
This necessarily imposes a little trouble,
and yet not very great, but it seems to
me reasonable ’to require very extraor
dinary care and trouble enough to be

taken to represent the facts. The ear
liest removals and appointments of this
kind will challenge the keenest scrutiny.
The former must be justifiable and the
latter beyond criticism. Some mistakes
have perhaps occurred, and our adver
saries are keenly interested to make the
most of every fault, because they have
perceived a strong current of general
approbation of the purposes of the ad
ministration.
In rendering this justice to our peo
ple which consists of the removal of
enemies and substitution of our friends,
I feel that it is desirable to proceed with
extreme care, and that I am correctly
representing the president’s wishes and
purposes in earnestly soliciting that
every step may be taken accordingly. I
may add that as the common good is in
finitely beyond tiie welfare of any one
person, however great his place, so ap
pointments to further a mere personal
end, should be absolutely forbidden, and
recommendations upon that basis may
well expect disfavor.
I shall Very willingly take up the case
of any district or of any county when
ever they are ready; and I shall be glad
if the representative can personally at
tend and go over them. Papers should
be sent in as soon as possible, and will Le
then carefully briefed in the depart- 1
ment; and when so made ready appoint
ments can be made with great rapidity.
Should you think it desirable to have
a personal conference before this is be
gun, L shall be very glad to meet the
delegation. i
But as I have felt it desirable to re
lieve them of unnecessary journeying
and expense. I have written a similar
letter to each representative from Ohio,
and respectfully solicited responsive ac
tion in accordance with the spirit of it.
Your very truly,
Wm. F. Vilas,
Postmaster-General.
A KISS BY MQOHLIQHT.
From time immemorial, no one will pretend to
deny the fact that kisses 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 PA SSIVE 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
RE-BUSS to the amazement of a pedestrian who
happened to be 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 $50,000!
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 oft'ered, giving entire satis
faction in all cases, before one bottle 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 free

blood, the Kidneys, Scrofula, etc., etc.

CURE FOR PILES.
Pn.E3 are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has
some afloction of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times symptoms of indigestion are
present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture, like perspiration, produeing a
very disagreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a common attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts effected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Address, The

THE SALE OF BONDS.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Au
gusta Chronicle of May Gth, says: I
telegraphed you last night the important
fact that Gov. McDaniel had sold the en
tire issue of new bonds except $63,000
that were issued to the State University
at Athens, to Messrs. Wolfe and Rogers,
of New York, at $1 00 5-16 for per
cent, thirty-year bonds, tho amount
being $3,392,000, deliverable as the
State’s indebtedness falls due.
This is an admirable arrangement for
the State. It shows the solid financial
credit of Georgia. It reduces our inter
est account $80,558 a year, or in the
thirty years the splendid sum of $2,416,-
500. Tiie present interest on the
$3,392,000 is $330,940. The interest at
4per cent, is $141,390, making the
saving of $50,550. The most of these
bonds falling due are 7 per cent, bonds.

MOTHER’S
FRIEND!
This invaluable preparation
is truly a triumph of scien
tific skill, and no more ines
timable lieneflt was ever be
stowed on the mothers of the
world.
grtr* It not only shortens
the time of labor and lessens
the intensity of pain, but,
lictter than all, it greatly di
minishes the danger to life
to both mother and child,
and leaves the mother in a
condition highly favorable to
speedy recovery, and far less
liable to flooding, convul
sions, and ether alarming
symptoms incident to linger
ing and painful labor. It#
truly wonderful efficacy in
this respect entitles the
Mother’s Friend to be
ranked as one of the life
saving appliances given to
the world oy the discoveries
of modern science.
From the nature of the
case, it will of course be un
derstood that we cannot
publish certificates concern
ing this Kemedt witheut
wounding the delicacy of the
writers. Yet we have hsn
‘ dreds of such testimonial*
on file, and no mother who
ties once used it will ever
again he without it in her
. time of trouble.

A prominent physician lately remarked to the

I most earnestly entreat every female expect

Coupled with this entreaty I will add that during
