Just on top of the hill near the bush arbor the dray overlook them and they concluded to ride. Im mediately after being seated on tho dray one of the -hafts gave way and the mule started down the hill in a run. They were both thrown out wi; ’ • load and the wheel of the dray struck Mrs. Stephens’ head near the centre, tearing the flesh f. -.n the skull down near the ear. She was nl*o, o.s’.derably stunned by the fall but with the a.--.mance of a gentleman was enabled to r. eh a souse near by, where she was compelled to remain till next day as she was unable to be removed sooner. A physician was summoned and h wounds dressed, and now she is doing as v, uiid be expected. Mrs. Griffin escaped m i ■ ■■■"; some severe bruises about ths face. I'ho ladies of the Methodist church de siu' .<• return thanks to Soheuer Bros, for their courtesy and kindness, for as sistance in preparing for their late enter tainment. t A dainty card, with “The Compliments of Little Bettie Monteastle,” lying top of 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. Roberts X Collins. 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.

Williams & Cos. ♦ ♦ 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 of iee on hand all the time. Parties wishing ice on Sunday can leave orders at Anderson’s livery stable, on Erwin street. mv7-3t. - 4 b WILD CHERRY AND TAR.

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. Sidskt Herbert. The Woman’s Aid Society of the M. E. church at Kingston, will have a Candy Pulling next Friday night, 22nd inst., at the residence of W. A.

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. Scribbler. KINGSTON. The sound of the hammer and saw is fegain heard in our burned district. The Cloud House la arising from its ashes, and will soon be in a condition to invite the traveling public to rest and refreshment I understand that two other lots in the same district have been sold to an enterpiising and energetic young man, who will some time in the near future build a store house and enter the lists as a competitor for the trade of the community. Our neighbor L. P. Gains has returned from a three weeks’ trip to New Orleans and Texas, and reports a pleasant time. Mrs. West, an aged lady, died near our town on Friday last, after a prytracted ill ness. Mrs, Isaiah Cox has been very ill, but is now convalescing. Our farmers complain of the ravages of the bud worm in corn and the bug in cot ton. These, together with the poor pros pect for wheat and the almost assured failure of oats, present a gloomy prospect. Dr, W. 11. Felton preached to a large and appreciative audience at the Methodist church on Sunday. His subject was ; “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.” His lucid explanation of the text and forci ble logic gave assurance to each Christian that there was indeed nothing to be ashamed of in the gospel of Christ, but whereof to glory. All the churches of our town have efficient and zealous pastors. The Sabbath scliqols are looking forward with pleasure to an anticipated picnic. The Courant is always a welcome visi tor to the home circle. Its pages are pure, and free from the questionable literature that disfigures the pages of some of our more pretentious journals, Senkx. 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 j THREE STORES IN OWE.I' Ch.amberla.in, Johnson <& Company.

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.

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.
