THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 188 G.
CURR EN T CO MMENT.
Mrs. Dr. Billow, nee Miss Sallic Par
rott, is visiting in the city.
Walter M. Ryals, of the Anniston Hot
Blast, was in town Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Robins has been in the pity
lately. Ho is always welcome.
Rev. J. S. Htllhotise will preach in
the Presbyterian church next Sunday.
“Dollie” Moon,ot Rome,found time to
come over Monday to see his family and
friends.
Friday was a bloody day for the State
Road. Two men were killed outright
while one suffered serious injuries.
Rev. S. P. Jones, Sr., has been suffer
ng intensely with his broken hip, but
was resting easier at last accounts.
Mr. John Harris made a splendid rep
resentation of The (Jouuant at the
Kingston skating rink on Friday night.
Dick Jjnes came down from the Stamp
Creek mills Sunday and whiled away
the time with his numerous friends here.
Tobe Jackson is still at large. It is
said the folks frighten their had children
with “Tobe Jackson will catch you,” all
the way from the Tennessee line to At
lanta.
The Stanton House at Adairsville came
near being destroyed by tire one day last
week. Luckily the house were discov
ered in time to prevent a first class con
flagration.
Wo arc sorry to hear that Misses May
and Annie Jones, daughters of Rev. S.
P. Jones, were too sick to leave Cincin
nati last Saturday. The cold weather
has been a trial to all who are unaccus
tomed to its severity.
When the cook takes French leave of
a body, and editorials and locals are
crammed in at odd times and in odd pla
ces, they will generally come up in a sort
of olla podrida style. This much by
way of apology for this week’s effort.
Baiard’s Mammoth Minstrels are billed
to perform here Thursday night of next
week. To drive away dull care nothing
beats a first-class minstrel performance,
and from what we have seen of the com
ing troupe, we are led to believe that we
will enjoy a rare treat when Baird’s Min
strels perform here.
Sim Jackson and Bud Jones, both>
White, who have been confined in our
jail since the explosion, charged with
conpliclty in said outrage, have succeed
ed in getting bail. Jackson was requir
ed to give a SOOO bond—ssoo in the dyna
mite case and SIOO for carrying concealed
weapons.
Allow a word for our country roads.
When they are worked this spring let us
hope there will be something permanent
done for their improvement. A little
pine brush and a few shovels of dirt will,
in. all probability, disappear under the
first hard rain. A thing that is worth
doing is worth doing well.
The agricultural convention is in ses
sion at Columbus. Capt. T. J. Lyon is
the member of the executive committee
from the Seventh District. The people
of Cartersville would he pleased to have
the August convention assemble in this
city, as it would introduce to our citizens
many of the most distinguised men of
the state.
We call especial attention to the card
of Francis Fontaine, Esq., in our col
umns. lie was for many years a resident
of this county, and is fully prepared to
give information as to lands, climate, etc.,
tO'any who may seek it. We bespeak for
him the attention his high character and
intimate acquaintanceship with our peo
ple deserve.
The East Cartersville Institute has
passed into the management of Prof. W.
11. Bowers, of Ringgold, a gentleman
who comes to us very highly recommend
ed, both as a teacher and gentleman.
The trustees and school children are
delighted with him and no fears are en
tained as to the success of East Carters
yillo Institute*
The many friends of Charlie Moon will
be glad to learn that he has greatly im
proved since he came over from Rome,
lie-is suffering from a severe bronchial
trouble and it was feared that it would
result seriously . Charlie is clever enough
to count everybody about tiere his
friends who will bo glad to learn of liis
ultimate recovery.
Mr. Will C. Glenn, of Dalton, who was
a steady attendant upon our court, has
captured the heorts of our people. The
conviction of Sid O'Shields was mainly
due to his efforts and as soon as the decision
wfls learned by them they surrounded
the young lawyer from Dalton and ten
dered turn congratulations that amounted
almost to an ovation, lie is a young
man that will some day hold his own
with the ablest jurists of the day.
The time has arrived when the festive
darkey and the festive mule are obliged
to contemplate another year’s work. I’lie
weather has deterred such contemplation
many weeks, but the inevitable occasion
is now at hand. The sweet-scented “Joan-
ny” is also creeping out to its accustomed
haunts. Like tuxes, the guano is bound
to come, and whether the crop yields
enough to pay for it in the fall or falls a
share behind, these demands always ex
ist in the spring. Cotton raising, guano
and sorry fences will soon put Finis to
the end of the chapter.
The burglars are still at work. Mr.
George 11. Gilreath’s store was broken
into on Monday night, and thoroughly
ransacked for)valuables. They were evi
dently frightened by some noise, as they
left very hurriedly without much swag.
Mr. George Tumlin, who lives near the
lime works, had his house burglarized
the same day, losing some provisions.
11 would appear by the frequency of
these burglaries that it is well to keep
armed and to shoot at all suspicious
characters who are in the wrong place at
the wrong time.

A DOUBLE DISASTER.
When the section of No. 7 of the W. &
A. Railroad trains reached this city on
Friday night it stopped to leave oft some
cars.
The conductor saw the lantern of Rob
ert Pritchard while they were crossing
Etowah bridge, but he was not missed
until the train was getting ready to move
again from this point. A search resulted
in the finding of the mangled body of the
missing man near the Hightower ware
house. It appears that he fell under the
wheels about the time the changing of
the cars was in progress.
The mangled body was conveyed to
Hicks & Brevard’s establishment where
it was prepared by those clever under
takers for burial, and afterwards carried
to Resaca, his home, for burial.
On the same night a section of No. 7
found Mr. John Corbin, another train
hand, missing at Tunnel Hill. lie was
seen to pass from the conductor’s car to
wards the engine as the train was ap
proaching the mouth of the tunnel, and
it is supposed he was knocked off the
roof in the darkness. Ilis remains were
shipped next day to Aewoith for burial.
Mr. Corbin lias a number of relatives in
this county. Mr. Pritchard left a wife
and one or two children. We are not in
formed as to the family of Mr. Corbin.

SII> O’SHIELDS.
During the late term of Bartow Supe
rior Court he was tried for the offense of
burglary—robbing the jewelry store of
Turner & Baker in this city. Alter a
fair and impartial trial he was convicted
and sentenced to twenty years in the
chain-gang.
The sad fate of this young man should
be a lesson to all wrong-doers in our sec
tion, especially to young men who are
liable to be led astray by evil compan
ions and bad habits. He has relations
who are highly respected, and whose
hearts are wrung with angush by this
shame and disgr; CO. and we are grieved
that the innocent should thus be compell
ed to bear so heavy a burden. Solicitor
Harris, aided by W. C. Glenn. E-q., of
Dalton, conducted the prosecution, while
the defense was led by Messrs. Shelby
Attaway and M, L, Johnson.
Editor Courant —The time has al
ready come when it behooves every good
citizen who loves his country and feels
any interest in the place and welfare ot
his fellow-man to set to woi k at once, and
with all his might, to deyise and put in
operation some plan whereby reforma
tion may be brought about that the cur
rent of wickedness may be arrested in
our county.
There necessarily must be a change, or
we may all expect overthrow and destruc
tion, and that at an early day. We al
ready see that weak-minded men are fall
ing into line with this wicked influence,
thinking because it is somewhat popular
that it is a great power.
Oh, how simple, how foolish man is to
think there is any real pow’er in wicked
ness. It is only the shortest wav possi
ble to destruction. I must say that lam
surprised to see so many men afraid of
this wicked influence. IVickedness only
tends to destruction. Though hand join
in hand, the wicked shall not go unpun
ished. There Is no power in wickedness;
its only support is in its followers, and
the judgments of God are following close
after them, and will certainly soon over
take them.
• I fear that there are more persons and
characters contributing to this wicked
influence than most people are aware of,
and many who are giving aid and strength
to it arc not themselves aware of h - v
wink or a noil, ui even silence alone, of
ten gives strength and encouragement to
it. If men would be men indeed —take
one side or the other 'boldly as they
should, and not try to deceive by endeav
oring to play on both sides of most every
question, as many do, it would be much
better for themselves and all others.
There are but two sides to all things.
There is a wrong and a right side, and
there is no middle ground between. That
man who is not clearly on the right is
certainly on the wrong, it matters not
what his pretentions are. Though he be
a preacher and fail to declare the whole
course of God and condemn sin in all its
ferms, for fear of rendering himself un
popular with the people and thus deprive
himself of some comforts, ease and en
joyments of this life, he is, above all oth
ers, giving the most strength to this
wicked influence.
And it matters not what position man
occupies, whether it be judge, juror, law
yer or any private citizen whatever, who
gives ail in any way to this wickedness.,
he is doing it to his own destruction,
which will soon come.
I am tired of this way of soft-soaping
things, and sugaring up and sweetening
to suit the taste of all persons. I think
the soap and sugar often kills the eftect
of the medicine. If the first fails, just
add a little truth to the next, but leave
out the soap and sugar.
Very Respectfully',
\V. F. Corbin.

CARELESSNESS ON RAILROADS.
Last Friday night two train hands were
killed" on the same railroad, one at
Cartersville and the other at Tunnel Hill.
Another man was killed in Atlanta the
next day by the same sort ot accident.
These troubles increase, it appears, and
while it is true that every man is con
sidered the legal protector of his own life,
there should be some sort of restriction
or penalty for carelessness for the sake of
those dependent on tlieir work for a liv
ing. The wives and children of these
employees suffer too much to allow this
state of things to continue, if they can
be remedied.
Now' is the time to put out onion sets.

AN AGED CAT.
During last fall Mr. Felix Franklin, a
very aged citizen of this countp, depart
ed this life, soon to be followed by his
sister, Miss Nancy B. Franklin, herself
an octogenarian. This w T as all of the
household except the cat “Dixie,” which
was itself nineteen years old. Its aged
mistress was very fond of the old cat,
and it was also remarkably attached to
her. Before her death she requested
her friends to bury “Dixie” in her grave
whenever it died, which was according
ly done a few r days ago. How long do
cats live, as a rule ? This one was known
to he nineteen years old.
KINGSTON KINDLINGS.
Kingston. Ga., Feb. 8,1856.
An accident occurred three miles north
of here, on last Friday, that eanie near
costing Mr. Wm. Curtis, of Chestnut
Gap, Fannin county, his life. He and
his father were enroute for Rome with a
load of produce and a pair of horses
which they w’ere going to sell. When a
short distance above Cement, some por
tion of his wagon gave way. He took
one of his horses and carried it there and
had it repaired. He then mounted his
horse and started for Ills wagon, little
dreaming of the terrible fate that awaited
him so near in the future. While return
ing, in a very narrow' place in the road—
made so by a fence—the north bound
passenger train overtook him. As is cus
tomary, the engineer blew his whistle
for the crossing. The horse took fright
and became uncontrollable. He ran side
by side with the train until lie come to
the crossing, when he made a wild leap
to cross in front of the engine, but not
soon enough. The engine struck the
horse, knocking him and his rider into
the air, killing the horse instantly and
wounding the rider. The train stopped
and took Mr. Curtis to Adairsville, w’here
he is now r doing very well.
A professional negro thief, by the name
of John Johnson, low -*-~iure and
dark in eoW, 5 ° robing our citizens of
their wearing apparel and provisions. A
short time since he entered Mr. John
McCrarey’s hou e and stole a fine suit of
clothes and all the jewelry he eould And.
Yesterday lie waited around until Mr.
White left for church, when he entered
and took all the clothing and provisions
he could find. This morning there were
six or eight men and toys in town with
old rusty-loeked shot guns, all at carry
arms. Some one suggested that the ne
gro take a stick and mind them off.
There was a carnival given by the
young men at the skating rink Friday
evening. There was a large crowd pres
ent and all enjoyed it very much. John
Davidson represented Mother Goose,
and John Davis Jumbo, which was the
best of all the characters; Will Capers
and Forrest Ware, the countryman on
skates; John H. Hairis, in very good
style, represented the Cartersville Cour
ant ; Ed Harris the beer jerker.
The weather has opened up and the
farmers have gone to work in good style.
J.
P. S. —Charlie Burrough in good style
showed us how the fighting Irishman
looks.

IVY.
Green leaves, green flowers, green berries,
gothic fret
Of woven green, from year to centnry,
On ground, wall, wayside, mountain
crag, old tree,
In town or wilderness, the living net
Of ivy richly clothes bare poverty,
Adds to the stateliest house a beauty yet.
Pathos to ruined arch and parapet,
With cottage, church-tower, tomb, can
well agree.
No luck misfit thee, Ivy, great or mean,
Mirthful of solemn; right for Pluto’s
bower,
Bacchus’ jolly garland. Now, serene,
You welcome winter, choose for time
to flower
The misty month when most things
couch and cower;
You wear Hope’s color. Hail, Prince
Evergreen!

King Milan's Coat of Mail.
When Servia first began to ferment
dark rumors were heard that King Milan
was constantly in dread of assassination,
and that he had taken to wearing a coat
of mail next his royal skin. Whether
the king fears assassination or not it
seems to be perfectly true that he wears
armor, for some interesting particulars
thereto regarding have been obtained
from the Vienna firm which manufact
ured it. The coat of mail is hardly what
a Norman warrior would have under
stood by the phrase. Next the body it is
of the softest aUk oxer this is a thick,
compressed layer of eider down,
upon which again is a layer of wadding;
the outer surface is of the toughest leath
er. This armor reaches from the neck to
the knees, and covers the arms as far as
the elbows. The cost of King Milan's
dagger and bullet proof case was £SO,
which seems to be remarkably cheap. It
is no doubt very comfortable wear in
winter, but it would be an inconvenient
attire for a summer campaign.—
Galignani’s Messenger.
Private Detectives Used in Politics.
“One more thing and I’ll finish this
yarn,” said the ex-detective. “I doubt if
any one outside of professional wire
pulling politicians knows to what an ex
tent private detectives are used in poli
tics. And they must be expert men, too,
for every effort is used to throw them off
the scent and once they are spotted they
cease to be useful and must be replaced.
Politicians of importance are shadowed
by the other side and it is astonishing
what shrew guesses are made as to their
plans simply from a knowledge of the
places they have visited, the people they
have received and the consultations
they’ve held. Many a would-be candi
date hp.s to withdraw from a contest by
reason of facts about him lfearned
through shadows, and this is true of men
in high places as well as low ones.”—New

Judge Kelley an<J the Comedia??..
Congressman William D. Kelley and
Stuart Robson were recently introduced
to each other in Philadelphia. “So you’re
the father of the house, are you?” re
marked the actor admiringly as they
seated themselves at a table. “I am very
glad to meet you, indeed. I was in the
Thirty-first congress myself.” “You
were in the Thirty-first congress?” ex
claimed Judge Kelley, as he regarded the
actor with a look of blended wonder and
incredulity; and then continued: “Why,
lam old enough to be your father, and
my service only began with the Thirty
seventh congress.” “Yes, but you see you
began as a member,” replidtt the come
dian, “while I was but a page. However,
that shan’t stand between us. Once
more I iterate I am very glad to meet
you.”—Chicago Tribune.
To Be Warm and Well In Winter.
“If you wapt to keep warm,” said an
old physician, “you must get lots to eat.
There wouldn’t be half the sickness there
is in the winter time if the people would
eat more good substantial food.”
“Whatsort, for instance?”asked are
porter, who was listening.
“Why, plenty of meat, that’s the ar
ticle that keeps 'your blood warm and
rich, and your flesh vessels fat. A man
who starts out these cold mornings with
a good big breakfast concealed about hia
person is not going to suffer from the
weather. Yes, indeed, the colder it is;
tha more you want to eat. You can’t
eat enough to hurt you, in the winter
time; She more you eat the warmer, and
the happier you feel.”—Cincinnati Times

The Result of a New Discovery.
Science has discovered anew method
of detecting livingrorganisins in water by
developing them under what is called
the gelatine process. The results of this
test, as shown in Sir Francis Bolton’s
late report on the London water, are de
cidedly interesting. For every cubic
centimeter of water the New river and
West Middlesex companies supply their
customers with a couple of “organisms;”
the Kent company gives 18; the South
wark, 24; Lambeth, 26; Chelsea, 34;
Grand Junction, 40; East London, 53.
Considering how many of these com
panies derive their supply from the same
source, I should like to hear their ex
planation of the extraordinary disparity
in the figures.—Cor. London Truth.
A Coincidence at the Inaugural.
Speaking of John Sherman’s position as
ex-officio vice president, it a curious co
incidence that at the last inauguration he
was the second to take President Cleve
land’s hand. President Arthur shok it
first, just as he turned about and after
finishing his inaugural, and the next man
to step up was Sherman, of Ohio. Had
there been a vice president, he would
naturally have come behind Arthur. But
there was none, and senator Sherman
happened to be the man to take his
place. —“Carp” in Cleveland Leader.
Opinion of a Cigar Expert.
Robinson—You are a good judge of a
cigar, aren’t you, Dumley?

WHICH WAS RIGHT?
When Pan-Electric stock was offeicd
to Mr. Carlisle, Air. Cox and Mr. Hewitt,
all Democratic members of Congress,
they refused. It was not consistent with
their ideas of public duty to receive such
a gift.
Mr. Garland however, a Democratic
Senator, took the gift, and to him it was
made very large. His interest in the Pan
Electric, at par, would amount to a mill
lion and a half of dollars.
This interest he retained when he join
ed President Cleveland’s Cabinet; and
when it was proposed that the Admini.-
tration should bring a suit in the name of
the United States to sustain the claim of
the Pan-Electric against the Bell tele
phone company, he as Attorney-General
consented, and the suit was brought; but
President Cleveland having other con
victions of propiieiy interteied and stop
ped it.
Now which was right, Mr. Carlisle
(with Mr. Cox and Mr. Hewitt, hiscol
-1-ague.-) in refusing, or Mr. Garland in
accepting, the benefaction or the bribe of
the Pan-Electric Company ?
