I wonder why our people don’t give more at tention to small enterprises? They all seem to make money when well managed. That chair factory at Marietta has made Mr. Brumby rich. Colonel Jones, of our town, has made lots of money competing with northern buggies and wagons. Railroads do nothing but carry. They produce nothing, manufacture nothing. What the south wants is manufactures of all kinds, little ones and big ones. —“Bill Ar,.” The Bartow county philosopher is emi nently correct in the above. Small manu factories do more to build up a commu nity than everything else combined. Look at our little neighbor, Adairsville, with her fine flouring mill, cotton facto ry and other institutions of like nature. There are no reasons why such institu tions should not thrive in Cartersville. Timber of the very finest quality can be had in inexhaustible quantities at our very doorst The R. H. Jones flfc Sons’ manufacturing Company inform us that they find no trouble in obtaining all the material they want, and of the very best quality, too. They have already stored away car load upon car loacj of timber ready to be converted into buggies, wag ons, etc. CqL Jones has made money here, and there is no reason why other people cannot do the same. An axe handle factory, or barrel and tub factory, or anything of that nature could be run to success here. Brumby's sqcppss in Marietta can be easily emulated In Car tersville by anybody with a small amount of capital. Gentlemen, let us move in the matter of small manufactories at once and move our beautiful little city along to the foremost ranks. - ■■■■■-♦ • The Boston Transcript says: “They are digging up the fossil remains of an ancient race near Cartersville, Cjr*., sup posed to be Georgians who believed in paying the State debt.” This man is sadly in need of education. The “fossil remains'’ is all that is left of a lot of Boston agents who eap*e opt to ar rangements for unloading Massachusetts slaves upon Georgia about the time the Bay State folks began to realize that slavery was not only unprofitable up there, but sinful. — Macon Telegraph. The Legislature of Kentucky will probably take favorable action on Col. M. K. Thornton’s appeal to it to abolish the convict leage system.

Blance, of Cedar town, in reply to a letter of solicitation from a number of gentlemen of Polk county, announces himself a candidate for Congress, subject to a nomination by the Democratic convention of the Seventh District. * The Constitution states that 216,000,000 gallons of water was ruined at the Atlan ta water works reservoir during the late freshet. Prohibition has a hard road to travel among the Atlanta folks. And yet General Gordon has not been heard from in regard to the State camr paign. The incubation of that Florida scheme is anxiously looked forward to by the hungry hordes of politicians. Rome will commence the erection at once, of two iron bridges at the end of and Howard streets. They are to cost $15,000. The lowa Legislature has passed a bill prohibiting alien non-residents from ac quiring title to real estate in that State. tt Cartersville will spread herself -riien the State Agricultural Convention meets here in August. Rome does not ask any help from out siders, and says she will take care of her own. For Thk Couramt.J THE DEAR OLD TOWN. “Sut Buncomb” Wields a Weighty Pen in Protection of His Dear Old Home, Cassville. My Dear Old Aleck: Pardon me for addressing you in such endearing terms, for I feel quite friendly this morning and want to be intimate tbat I may the more easily call up some of the recollections of the past. I read the other day an article in the Cartersville American headed “Reminis cences,” copied from the Anniston Hot Blast , as they are related by an “Old Roman.” The old gentleman speaks in glowing terms of the town as it was forty years ago, and mentioned by name some of its illustrious citizens, winding up by saying that “Cassville has vanished long since and hardly has a name.” Now my object in writing is to enter my protest against this old togared Ro man wiping our little rural village off the map of the world. A fellow feels sorter lonesome like when he realizes he has no latitude and longitude. It is all true, as he stated: “We had once the best town in Cherokee Georgia, noted for its thrift, for its intelligence, for its legal fraternity, illustrious all over Geor gia for its pretty women, its springs of living water, its hospitable homes, whose latch strings hung on the outside of the doors—extending Welcome to all.” In fact, he might have exhausted all the su perlatives of excellence and not said too much of the good old place. But we want it put on record that though the place was shattered by the “vandal foe,” we still live and and have some pride and activity. t. . , Our old Roman friend further says that “the State Railroad left Cassville out at her own request, and this effectually made it a finished town.” Now there is a legend among us that is quite at vari ance with this version. It is possible, however, that during those times there may have been a few Pharisaical olu hypocrites that objected to the railroad coming because it would bring immoral society. But the sequel has it that one Mr. Hargrove (who was one ot the direc tors of the road) and who owned the old Solomon place (now owned by Sim Munford) wanted the railroad to run through his land and locate a depot on it, to the exclusion of Cassville. fils pro ject prevailed as to the location of the road, but by the action of the citizens lie was defeated in getting the depot, and it is said, in disgust of his failure, soon af terwards sold out all of his possessions in and around Old Cassville and went to Rome. Which version is the most plausi ble? There was trickery no doubt in the whole matter of the location of the road, for it made a great elbow, from a direct line of six additional miles, to go around Cassville to the cost to the State of sever al hundred thousand dollars But we contend that the town was not ruined as completely as the “Old Roman” said by the road going around her, for her palm iest days was years after this, when her colleges w re chartered and built, and she became the Mecca of educational ad vantages for Cherokee Georgia. Besides this, the Legislature had granted the town a charter for the extension of the road by Cassville, on condition that the citizens would grade the extension, which they would have done but for the war. It Is true, as the “Old Roman” said, we furnished the backbone for Rome when we gave them some of our illustrious citizens, prominent among whom were the Wrights, Underwoods, Blacks, Mil lers, Words, Hargroves, Russels, Hoop ers and Hamiltons. But we plenty left of the same sort, with which we have since the war stocked several other envi ous cities, and wp flight rerparfc that we are still able to stock a few more with the same sort of grafts, though they may be a little degenerated. So now, dear old Aleck, put us on the map again. I know the American won’t object, for he was one of us—dandled on our knees and gathered inspiration at our fountains, pours tflj death, eT4 Bukgomb. SUNDAY SERMONS. Our Churches are Well Filled with Gos pel-Loving People. The churches were all well attended at all the services Sunday. Our people tifken a lifost lively Interest in their spiritual welfare and our iqinisters, all able and talented gentlemen, are grati fied at the result of their labors. THE PRESBYTERIAN. Sunday was the second Sunday for the Fftspytefiap qew qiinister, Rev. Mr. RLillliquse, who lias just removed frqrq Ringgold to our'town. Mr. Hillhouse lias made quite a start with liis church and is well liked by our people generally. He preached from the text; .“She has done wliat she could.” A fine and interested audience was pres- ent to the sermon, a very imperfect synopsis of which we are able to present: “When some who were in attendance von*plainpd that the preoioqs ointment had been and that it had been better to haye sold it and the proceeds given to the poor, the Saviour rebuked them and said she had done a good work; that she had manifested a royal love toward Him by contributing the most precious thing she had to his comfort and pleasure. God de manded fhe best fqr all Ris children, and woqld be satisfied with notliipg less. When sin offerings were made, the best was required that tlie person was able to make—a lamb without spot or blemish—a pair of doves, or even a handful of flour, according to the ability of those making the offerqig, and 4 FftS such, cmly ? that iyas accepted and blessed. Christ com manded the widow who cast her two mites into the treasury, saying, “She hath done more than ye all, in that she hath given her entire living.” The nature of our ac tions is what God approves. All that we are and all that we have are Ilis—our bod ies, our means, our influence. If we con gpefftte these gifts to His honor and service ft seals pur appeptanpe with Him fj,nd in vokes Ris blessing qpon u§. The talent hidden away in a napkin will bring us into condemnation and be taken away from us. Some men love to see the fruits of their good works manifested in the lives of those around them. Others sow the seed that other generations will reap. We are not tp look for the fruit —our duty is to sow thp gpefl and leave the results to God. This igst thoqght wag happjly fllqstr&ted by the life and death of Harriet who left ease and plenty in this country to gq as a Missionary to China, but who died before she ever had an opportunity of speaking a word for Christ. It looked like a waste of ppergy and devotion, but no doubt her ponsecratpd life 4 ea fh had given a greater impetus to the missionary cause than would haye resulted from a long life spent in missionary work.” AT THE METHODIST. The Methodist pulpit was filled by Rev. Sam P. Jones in the morning, a short report of whose sermon appears elsewhere, sn<J fp the afternoon Mr. George Qijrpath gayp a good congrega tion some gospel truth. Mr. G. is now very old and has been a noble worker in the Lord’s vineyard. AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH. Notwithstanding the dampness under foot and the threatening aspect of the weather, the Baptist church was full of attentive listeners on Sunday evening. The interest which lias been increasing in this congregation for several weeks, reached its climax at this sermon, and many a moist eye told the story of deep feeling within. The pastor, Rev. W. 11. Cooper, preached from the parable of the “Prodigal Son,” as recorded in the 15th chapter of Luke. We present the following imperfect and short synopsis of the discourse: Text: Luke 15—11, 24. There are differences of opinion as to the application of this parable—some claiming that it refers only to the uncon verted sinner, while others claim that its only reference is tothe backsliding Chris tian. The object of the senuou, evident ly, is to show the readiness of bur Heav enly Father to forgive and to bless all who in real repentance come to Him for pardon for their sins, whether from among Ilis own children or among those who have never before given their hearts to Him. First, I ask you to notice the folly of the youug man in conducting himself as he did. JJe wanted to get away from the ‘‘old man’s” uoiitroWfo have his share now—and to get away from home as fur as possible. flow many there are now like him. They are not willing to submit to good ; they are tired of Hi? retrain ts: tW say: I’ know not the Lord rteUhei will oliey His voice. And though heaven, with all its--eternal glories, is promised them as the reward of a pious life, tney prefer to have “a good time” now—tak ing the pleasures of the world, its hon ors and riches lor their portion rather than the endearing riches ol the on ly inheritance. Second, You will observe that when all had gone, when he had turned him self out to feed hogs, and when he had to satisfy himself on the same kind ot food the hogs lived upon, he finally be gan to think of his condition, to see his folly, and determined to return to ms father’s house and ask for a place there again—even as a servant’s place. You will notice the scripture says: “When lie came to himself.” He had not thought before —had not reflected. And that is the reason why people go to hell now; they do not think about where they are going, if men would only think of the consequences of sin they would at once turn to God. What a foolish exchange sinners do make—the pleasures of a tew short hours for the bliss of eternity. This young man saw his mistake and corrected it. lie came back, too, with the right sort of feelings. He took all the blame on him self, and hogged the father’s forgiveness. So must sinners, both in and out of the church, come to God w ith real Sorrow for their sins, not blaming Hie church or anybody else, but confessing that they are guilty and deserve punishment. And last of all, I want you to notice the kind reception the father gave him when he got back home. Doubtless he had been waiting for him a long time, and wondering when he would come. At last one day he espied him in thp dis tance, rtviU forward to meet him, threw* his arms around the hoy’s neck, granted him pardon and showered upon him all kinds of favors. So under this beautiful figure our Saviour seeks to show how* God “waits to be gracious” to every backsliding Christian, to every patient souj, Q°d is anxious fipr ypqr return longs to forgive and to save. A girl In Scotland, having wandered from her mother’s home, returned one night after a long absence. From a dis tance she saw a light through the win dow, and by that found the path that led to the old home. Reaching the door, she found it slightly ajar, and opening it was* reoeiyfd into {he mother’s open arms, who in answer to the daughter’s ques tions, replied: “I thought you would come back, and I kept tlie lamp burning and the floor open every night so that you might know you would bo wel come.” So God keeps the door of heav en open for us. The gates are not only “ajar,” but taken off their hinges and put to one side till all have oome In w ho hear the Father's voice saying, “Child, come home,” and are at rest within the vale. _ De-lec-ta-lave Eye and ear troubles are often caused by decayed teetli and diseased gums.

LILLIAN MADISON’S IjEATU, Richmond, April 11—Thequestion of the hanging of T. J. Cluverius for the murder of Fanny Lillian Madison, is now in the hands of the highest court of the state, the condemned man having asked for anew trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence. In the later part of last summer Rachel McDonald, an aged maiden lady, living near the reservior in which the body of Lillian Madison was discovered, was found dead in her yard with her throat cut. Apparently every effort was made to discover the means ot her death, but without avail. lier property is in the hands of the court. Now comes the start ling news that witnesses have been found to prove that Miss McDonald was murder ed *md that they will appear before the nextgrand jury of the county (Henrico) with more positive evidence. Still more startling is the information tbat Lillian Madison, who, it was thought, was thrown into tlie reservior by her cousin, Cluyerius, died fit thp house of Miss McDonald from an qttempt at malpractice, and was thrown into the water after death. All these rumors have excited the greatest interest, and counsel for Cluverius were not slow in doing everything possible to get the facts of JVliss McDonald’s death out. One of the shrewdest detectives in the country has been in the case. A couple from Bangor, Me., were mitried near Boston some weeks ago, and started homeward by rail, leaving their gifts to follow in the city of Cam bridge, which went to pieces on the coast of Maine. They have recently learned that the box of presents bad drifted ashore, and that the silver table ware was in use among the fishermen along the coast, while the less servicea ble pictures and ornaments decorated the cabins. The owners have gone in quest. PUT pSy POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholosorneness.

Washington, April 11. —Chaplain Mil burn’s prayer in the house yesterday morning was as follows: “Oh, God, answer, we beseech Thee, the supplications of millions of hearts as cending to thee for a speedy close of the greatest evil of modern society—drun kenness. Linked with almost every vice and crime in the loathsome oompact with garuing houses and brothels, it burdens the criminal dockets of the courts of justice, throngs the poor house, the mad houses, jails and gibbets, drives men to despair through the snake.

Begin ning most often in allowing the taste in a jocund bond of good fellowship, it be comes an appetite and master passion which destroys the body, darkens the intellect, blinds the moral sense, deadens the soul, drives God out of men’s spirits and paralyzing the will, hinds men and women hand and foot and casts them into hell, leaving an entail of despair and wretchedness to their children.’’ A gentleman who resides in Kansas has written to the authorities at Castle Garden for a wife.
