Cartersville seems to be doing nothing.
This road will pass in twenty miles of this

Cartersville to throw off the yoke of un
just discrimination,

An Important Visitor.
We had the pleasure the other day of
meeting Mr. W. H. Wilhoite, of Shclby

a suitable location to spend the balance
of his days. Mr. Williotye is a farmer by
profession and it is a fine farm that he
desires to purchase. lie is very much in
love with our climate and location, and
if he can find a suitable farm lie will be
come a citizen of Bartow county.
110 is one of those live-at-home far
mers—never buying anything that can
be raised at home. These are the kind
of fanners we want in old Bartow. The
all-cotton and no-meat idea is fast pass
ing away and in a few years the smoke
houses of the West will be transplanted
to southern soil, there to remain. We
bespeak for Mr. WUhQite a pleasant visit
and clever treatment from our people and
w ill express the wish that he may he
situated in a farm.

CITPII} AT TUB COURTHOUSE,
The Temple of Justice Scores Another
Victory for the Saucy Little Rascal.
The courthouse corrider is becoming
notorious for the number of marriage
vow r s and troths enacted between its
walls. The truth of the matter js those
courthouse bays are forever corralling
the young ones who aro sweet on each
other and sending them out on the
troubles matrimonial sea. This is not
intended as campaign material to be
used against the “courthouse ring.”
The usual quiet of the staid old building
w'as broken Friday afternoon by the
appearance of a colored boy by the
name of John Winn who was in quest of
the “man wot marries fokes.” Judge
Howard, with his business eye wide
open, closed negotiations at once for the
purchase of the necessary license, and
John Henry Wikle started out after a
preacher or a justice of peace. As the
groom-elect was exceedingly short as to
finances the colored preachers that were
approached refused to perform the cere
mony. Hunting the town over and not
finding any one willing to accommodate
him for nothing the unhappy swain
nllow'ed matters rest until qe:st day,
when Uncle John Anderson, in the
presence of a few selected friends, made
the now happy John Winn and Ange
line Brooks man and W'ife.
Into South Carolina.
Mr. W. B. Sadler, of the R. H. Jones

ing several fine orders, with promises
for inure to follow. The company had
just senta fine phaeton over and it was
largely instrumental in securing orders.
Those who saw it were profuse in their

orders were taken on this job • alone.

FOUR THOUSAND IN THE TREASURY.
Bartow County Out of Dobt ami the
Above Sum Laid Away for : Rainy Day.
Bartow’county is on top and don’t let
it escape your memory. Wow many
people in this county will be surprised
to know’ that the grand old county is out
of debt and has four thousand dollars of
the filthy lucre laid away for improve
ments? At the regular meeting ot the
county commissioners Tuesday County
Treasurer Cobb notified • the members
that about four thousand dollars was in
Ills hands subject to the order of that
body. The whole board was surprised.
They have been laboring hard to curtail
expenses and practice all economy possi
ble to bring the county through w ithout
incurring indebtedness. The people
have cause to congratulate themselves at
having such an intelligent set of gentle
men to look after their affairs. They
have done well and will receive the
thanks of our people.
The commissioners will meet at Eu
liarlee Saturday to receive a bridge that
has just been finished and at the same
time will let out the contract to re-huild
the bridge at Low’rey’s near that place.
While the board is in that settlement
they will investigate the. condition of
the old piers at Milam’s and Hardin’s
ferries, with the view of oommence
building at once two new bridges at
these places. They think that, by using
those two old piers, they can build two
bridges with what money they have in the
treasury, with some additional indebted
ness. The bridges have been asked for
some time by the people in that section
of the oounty, and they will hail with
gladness any prospect of getting their
wishes fllfilled. ‘ .
Taking good old Bartow over and oyer
a more desirable home cannot be found
in the wide world. Her people gener
ally are in pretty good circumstanoes and
the farmers have bought less supplies on
time this year than has ever been known
before. They raised enough to tide
them over last year. With fine bridges
and excellent roads what more can a
happy people ask ?
All our clocks and watches are care
fully inspected and well regulated before
they are allowed to leave our house.

A Jolly Day.
Last Thursday, May the 27th, 188*>,
our young people (only) engaged them
selves at Rowland Springs. The crowd
arose bright and early that morning, and
as the hoys went around after their es
corts you could see a bright and pleasant
smile upon the girl’s faces. The day
was warm but nevertheless everybody
had a good time. The crowd was jolly
all the way going and coming. The
whole crowd seemed that they would
live fifty years longer. Leaving the
city between 8 and 9 a. m. they arrived
at the springs about ten. After their
arrival everybody seemed to be enjoying
themselves hugely, shooting, rooting
the peg, walking about, playing in the
branch and some were sitting around
the beautiful courting rocks. Our girls
never looked prettier, sweeter and more
engaging in their life, and the boys
were out in full dress, and never were
more gallant. The morning was spent
very pleasantly, but some of the girls
got hungry before time for dinner. The
crowd repaired to the upper spring at
on ft o’clOftk' tft nartichwto in a IftVft
feast. Dinner was soon over, and
everybody was busily engaged lor
about one hour, it was noticed that
Charlie Patterson and Albert Strickland
were busy holding down their corners.
The girls covered themselves with glory
in the preparation of such an elegant
repast. The boys appreciated the noble
efforts of the girls by putting in good
time destroying the edibles. After din
ner was over the fiddle and the merry
tripping of the fantastic toe asserted
their authority and monopolised things
for awhile, Danolng was kept up from
to 7 o’clock. Everybody pronounced
the picnic a grand success, and all were
satisfied that they had never spent a

The Formula is Good.
Kknvroe, Ala.,— Having for nine
years been in the drug business and
knowing the formula for Curry’s Liver
Compound, I consider it one of the best
of all preparations as a family raedioine,
in all cases of the derangement of the
liver and the disease incident thereto.
Especially oan I recommend it for that
distressing complaint, sick headache, for
which it acks properly in sufficient dose
it is a perfect panacea, and while largely
mitigating the headache at once removes
the intense nausea incident thereto. I
cannot do without it in my family.

Changing the Guage.
This much-talked of operation was
performed all along the line Monday
afternoon and that night. Quite a
crowd collected at the point where the
two squads started from, one going
north and the other south. Such work
was never was seen here before. The
hands all seemed bent on securing the
S3O prize. Mr. Sanford Vandivere
threw aside all the restraint that he has
accumulated in the past few weeks and
went with Lee Dobbs gang. <‘Sant” is a
natural-born railroad man and he just

D. W. Curry: Dear Sir—l have care

Deputy Marshal Creed 11. Cunyus.
The appointment by Marshal Nelms of
Mr. C. 11. Cunyus as one of his deputies
gives him a most efficient officer. Creed
received his commission last week and
will enter upon his duties at an early
day. Creed has long been well ac
quainted with our people and he counts
everybody within the scope of his ac
quaintance as his friend. We wish him
a great success in his new field of labor
and congratulate the department on se
curing such an addition to its force.
