Why Not?
In our last issue appeal'd an item, triv
ial in itself but significant in its sugges
tions. It was to the effect that Seheuer
Bros, would put a man on the road to
travel for their house. This means the
building up of a wholesale trade. It
means that the house is not content to
wait for trade to come to them, but that
they are going out and hunt up trade
that never came here before.
Would that this item could impress
itself on the minds of our merchants:
Why should we not build up a wholesale
trade ?
When Mr. T. W. Baxter was in busi
ness here he sold commercial fertilizers
by the car load lot, and in smaller lots
some times, to various dealers in differ
ent sections of our North Georgia. lie
sold in one season over SO,OOO to one
house in Rome. He had regular custo
mers in C'edartown, to whom he sold in
wholesale lots, besides various other
towns on this railroad. He did this with
out sending out a drummer, and only by
solicitation in person and by correspond
ence.
Mr. D. W. Curry is yet a young man.
He did a good local business in drugs,
etc. But he was not content with this.
A few years ago he determined to enlarge
his trade. He sent out a drummer and
began selling to the dealers in the sur
rounding country. He now sells over a
large territory and has extended his trade
in to Alabama.
These are but two instances. There
ftre other merchants in this city who have
done more or less of this kind of busi
ness. Why should not more of our mer
chants branch out in this way ? No one
who has tried it here lately has failed to
succeed in the effort. Of course they
would have to start on a small scale and
feel the way carefully. But by gradu
ally extending and reaching out further
and further, the way would soon be
opened for larger operations.
We know the reply that spontaneously
suggests itself to the reader: “Freight
rates." But the further reply to this is
the fact that Baxter, Curry and others
have succeeded in the effort, and that
the sagacious Seheuer Bros, are willing
to try it. Admit that with low freights
they could make more, yet it does not
follow that with the present rates they
cannot make some profits. We ought to
control the wholesale trade of this sec
tion. We ought to wholesale goods of
all kinds along the entire line of the East
and West railroad. This territory natu
rally belongs to Cartersville, and this is
not the only territory that is naturally
tributary to this city.
We repeat, let our merchants go out
and bring trade to our town. Let them
follow the example of men who have
tried it and made money at it. The ef
fort once cautiously hut boldly made,
success is assured.
Tobe Jackson, “Old Nig,” Texas
Chains and Cd. Muphey.
We are aware of the fact that we have
appropriated a caption to this article that
will be a hard matter to cover. The sub
ject furnishes a broader field for intellect
than we possess. We know that our peo
ple have had a surfeit of Tobe Jackson
literature but we feel called upon to ad
vise our readers of the latest developments
in the matter. One thing is certain, Tobias
Jackson is enjoying the liberty he yearns.
Another thing is equally certain, Tex
as is short in the chain market. 'Twas
only a little over a week ago that Edouin
Murphey, the so-called crack detective of
Atlanta, took passage for Texas with a
view to bringing Tobe Jackson back to
Georgia to stand trial and be bored by
newspaper reporters. To use his own
words, he “was going to bring him back if
it took all the chains in Texas to do it.”
The little episode up at Chattanooga the
other night convinces us all that the
“Lone Star” state is suffering from an un
precedented drouth as to chains. Anyhow,
it looks that way to a man up a tree.
“Murph” made his threat and did not carry
it out, and thus makes himself open to
severe criticism. While the appalling fact
stares us in the face that Tobias is non est,
a great many condemn his gross negligence
in letting “Murph” get away. “Murph”
is lucky. With such a blow of trumpets
did the wary detective glide out of the
“Gate City.”; such a tale of brilliant de
tective work. “Murph” was a hero—on
paper—a week ago, but he is now a sad
failure in reality, and to his dying bed will
he express regret over the time when
Texas went short on chains. “Old Nig,”
the dear old dog, remains the only actor in
this great tragical farce. In the name of
humanity and decency and for the welfare
of all concerned let him be sent to Tobias
for proper training.
CoI,JV. A. Wright, President of the
Confederate Survivors’ Association of
Fulton county, estimates that there will
be at least five thousand veterans in line
to welcome Hon. Jefferson Davis to At
lanta Saturday.
“Pay Up” is the name of a poetoftloe
somewhere in Georgia, but, strange to
say, the postmaster will soon resign his
commission, giving no reasons therefor.
He has probably found out that the town
is a mismomer.

BARNESLEY’S BEAUTIES.
A Gay Party of Cartergvillians Have a
Most Delightful Picnic at this Lovely
Spot.
Last Saturday was an ideal spring day.
Not a rift of clouds eht off the glorious
sun-rays that flooded the earth with
brightness and cheer. A day, indeed,
well suited for a picnic excursion. The
fulness and the luxuriance of vernal life
were calculated to stir up in the breasts
of all a feeling of poetry and a desire to
escape from the noisy din and dust and
smoke of town life and to spend one day
at the most beautiful rural retreat in
North Georgia.
The following party left Cartersville
early in the morning for Barnesley’s
gardens, situated in a most picturesque
spot eighteen miles from this city:
Miss Lula White with Mr. Young.
Miss Lois Jones with Mr. Albert Strickland,
Miss Kate Benham with Mr. Tom Trammell,
Miss Mary Skinner with Mr. Henry Milner,
Miss Eda Sands with Mr. Alex Akerrnan,
Miss Fannie Jor e< with Mr. B n Akerrnan,
Miss Stansell with Mr. T. M. Smith,
M iss Lula Jones with Mr. Drewry,
Miss Ware with Mr. Will Grah m.
Miss Alice Renfroe with Mr. Frank Wallace,
Miss Lottie Tomlin with Mr. Bob Stover,
Miss Shephetd with Mr. P. V. Field.
Mrs. Akerrnan and Mrs. Ware were
the chaperons of the party, while Harry
Hall and Will Kirkpatrick, though part
nerless, joined hands and desires and
made every one believe that their cups of
pleasure were full to running over.
The ride from Cartersville was accom
plished without incident of note. The
youth of the party was like that of the
earth itself—fresh and luxuriant. The
woods were clothed in the green garni
ture of spring. The exuberance of ver
nal life seemed tohave gone riot,yet it only
gave birth to beautv—all its shapes were
shapes of poetry. The mostprosey-mind
ed of the crowd were affected by the de
lightful scenio attractions and the pic
turesque situation of the famous picnic
retreat. In the afternoon a bounteous and
tempting feast was spread close a
splendid spring of water. Dinner over
the party began to separate—two a suffi
ciency, three a crowd. The afternoon
was spent in a manner eminently satis
factorily to all the participants. The
shadows of evening came before the last
couple reluctantly started homeward.
Manv, many days will come and go
before the events of last Saturday are
forgotten by the fortunate few who pic
nicked at liarnesley’s Gardens.

A nice audience met the ‘Social Glass”
last Friday night. As every one was
more than gratified, it should be encour
aging to our young artists. A signifi
cant fact that we have the material for a
good dramatic organization, is that a
goodly number of ducats were turned
into use towards finishing the new church,
and with hats off and a grasp of the
hands, we thank the noble women of our
town for the timely need rendered.

THE REVELATION OF THE W ATERS.
On Capt. A. F. Wooley’s farm near
Kingston, the waters have unearthed
some queer things. Capt. Woley lias
from year to year sustained heavy dam
ages to his lands by the heavy overflows
of the Etowah river, each year washing
more of his land off and washing the al
ready washed places deeper. On his
bottoms where he has cultivated for years
and nothing in the way of mounds or
anything of the sort were ever noticed
by him or by any of the oldest inhabi
tants —those who were here when the
red man roamed these hills and down
this beautiful river, watching for the
deer that abounded so numerously—has
been unearthed a perfect bed of bones of
men and beasts, also all sorts of arrow
heads, crockery ware, etc. The place
presents the appearance of a grave yard
of man and beast. Bones of all parts of
the human body have been found and
also many different kinds of bones of
beasts. Tears and years ago it must
have been the burial ground of the abo
rigines. Here is more work of the flood.
Dr. Thomas F. Jones, brother-in-law of
Gen. P. M. B. Young, while rambling
through a swamp on Tom’s creek some
sixteen years ago, lost a very valuable
hunting-case gold watch of his wife’s
given her by a brother who was killed
in the late war. Search was instituted
and kept up for a long time without
success, Anally it was given up as logt.
The watch passed out the memory of the
entire family save Mrs. Jones, who,
with a woman’s tender love and dear
memories thought of the last gift of a
loved brother. Since that time all of
this land has been, cleared off’ and has
been under cultivation for seyeral years.
The rushing waters of the late flood
washed off the soil for several inches.
Mr. Robert Giliam, while plowing a few
days ago, unearthed the watch, which
was found to be in almost a perfect
state of preservation. He very magnan
imously returned it to its owner. Dr.
Jones wound the watch up, but some
parts being slightly rusty, it did not
run.

We are heeding rain.
The peach crop will be short.
The wheat prospect is very promising.
Poor stands of corn from the early

Farmers are hard at work—busy as bees
from morn till night. Yet, under many
discouragements and poorer pay than any
other class, they are patient and uncom
plaining—none more so, for they know
how and from whence comes their Tread,
and none ought to know so well the value
of a dollar. It is useless to talk of chang
ing methods, diversity, rotation, inten
sive farming, etc. The majority of farm
ers, both large and small, are obliged to
play for what is in sight; they can’t wait
from three to live years before realizing
profits. By constant hard work and
economy there is a living in farming—
the few that make money are the excep
tion. No wonder so many are quitting
the farms and engaging in other callings.
This continual toil, sweat, clod-pelting,
with a bare living as a reward, is discour
aging, and, in the language of John
Branson, “the thing is becoming monoto
nous.” It’s comforting, however, when
we read what we have heard so many
times from the stump, that the “farmers
are the bone and sinew ot the country —
the great wealth producers ot the world,”
It’s comforting, I say, but will some leg
islative or congressional aspirant inform
us where the “juice” comes in.

I endorse, heartily, the idea of chang
ing the name of our town, and would
suggest, on account of local fitness, one
of the following names: Petra, Petro
polis, Rockland, Ilockapolis, Pelham,
Linwood. If the change is not made I
move to have the place feHced in and the
bridge destroyed. Occasional.

The farmers are all well up with their
work. They haye tajsen advantage of

Wheat is very backward and the yield
will be poor but we think the oat crop
will add greatly to the harvest as there
was a large acreage sown, and they are
looking well.
We are very sorry to hear of the ill

We hope he will soon recever.

THE STATE W. C. T. UNION.
Macon, April 24. —The session of the
State Convention of the!women’s Cliris
taln Temperance Union was marked by
several interesting features.
Mrs. W. 11. Felton, of Cartersville,
pleaded for humane treatment of prison
ers, and spoke against the lessee’s power,
the State transfering its care of convicts
to the rapacity of the lessee. The very
young, the infirm of both sexes are hud
dled together, children are placed with
hardened criminals, and women with all
the others. The children are thus edu
cated in villainy, making their prison
term a school of crime. The excuse
given for this treatment is that they are
demons. No effort is made for their re
formation. Legislative and physicians’
reports are proof of their brutal treat
ment. She moved the adoption of the
following resolution:
“Resolved, That the W. C. T. Union of
Georgia, in session assembled, respectful
ly request each looal union shall memori
alize the next Georgia legislature in be
half of the women and juvenile criminals
confined in our jails and chaingangs that
they shall be separated from the older
and more hardened criminals in the
State.”
We leave the remedy to their consider
ation and good judgment, and especially
insist that it should not be mingled with
political platforms or used for political
effect.
We reserve to ourselves the privilege
of indicating reform in everything per
taining to the welfare of our race and we
ask the careful, prayerful consideration
of a matter so vital to our humanity,
Christianity and ciyilization.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.

Frank Boling, of Cherokee, Kan.,
threw himself on a feather bed that lay
on the floor during a thunderstorm. He
neglected to draw up his legs, and his
feet were toqchihg the floor, when the
lightning struck the house and played
about his feet, burning them and knock
ing him senseless. That pa.t of his body
that was on the bed was not hurt, and a
child lying on his side was uninjured.
All of which may be used to show that
feather beds are good places of refuge in
thunder-storms.

Judge Thomas Pullurn said last week in the presence of a reporter:
“My wife had been for many years a constant sufferer from rheumatism, Iler joints were swol

Snd pain manage to walk, and was a constant sufferer from this dreadful disease. Ve tried
everything we could read or hear of, and took advice of eminent practitioners without any benefit
in the way of permanent relief. 1 was induced to try lluunieutt’s Rheumatic (Jure a shorttimeago,
although I had lost faith In patent medicines and nostrums, and considered her case incurable,
“The effect was magical; the pains have entirely vanished; the swelling and distortion of her
joints have disappeared, and the disease has been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system.
She is still using the medicine as a precautionary mtasuro, as her general good health is being
restored by it. I Honestly and fearlessly recommend lluunieutt’s Rheumatic Cure as the best
medicine for rheumatism and the blood upon the market.”
