with girls.” This is the reason, probably
that Albeit is such a good Sunday school
attendant.
Bartow county has the richest agricul
tural lands in the State, which are
woi ked for all they are worth. We would
say also we have the best farmers, and
the cleverest, in the State.
Several days of dry weather will do
more to please the beople of Bartow coun
ty than all the polities that can be had in
ten years. They are virtually tired of
politics and wet weather.
To the grumblers of our town we
would say that Cartersville never had
brighter prospect. Information that we
have received lately will bear us out in
the assertion. Stop your grumbling and
go to pulling for the town.

solid weeks to get the county out of
grass.

The White Star Line Steamboat Com
pany, of Rome, has brought suit against
Gordon county for damage caused by de
tention at the bridge in that county on
the Oostanaula river last November.
There were heavy rains, almost a flood at
the time, and the river was so high that
it was impossible for the boat to pass
under the bridge. The boat was detained
for six days and now sues for damages.
There came rjar being a horrible
catastrophe at the ore banks operated by
Miles Dobbins Monday. It had been
raining all day, completely saturating
the ground. The workmen were under
a large bank when a shower came up and
they got under shelter near by. They
had hardly left the bank before the en
tire mass of dirt caved in. If they had
remained two minutes longer the entire
force, about fifteen, would have been
buried under the mass and in all pro
bability suflocated.

ciated in the legislative hulls.
The rumor was current on our streets
late Monday afternoon that Maj. Bacon
had withdrawn from the race. It is now
stated that his friends in Macon met
Monday to consider his withdrawal but
the Telegraph was strictly opposed to the
programme.
The Future of Cartersville.
At this season of the year there is gen
erally a great amount of grumbling in
dulged in by dissatisfied people in every
town. They were born dissatisfied and will
remain in that condition until the day of
their death. Fortunately Cartersville oan
boast of as few grumblers as any town
of its size in the State. Of course there
are a few who endeavor to make the im
pression that the town is dead because
the streets are not filled at this season of
the year with cotton bales. Our mer
chants and people generally are very
cheerful over the prospeots of the town.
As an evidence of that fact we w ill state
that more building will be done this
summer than any summer in many
years. We hear of several improvements
that will be made, in one instance two
elegant brick stores that only await the
proper closing up of the purchase of the
lot of land to build them on. The old
Shockley building will soon be torn
down and a handsome brick erected in
its stead. It is highly probable that the
owners of property adjoining will take the
improvement fever and build. In a few
months the whole east side will he one
row of brick.
Now, what Cartersville needs is the
coming together of Its business men
and all pull towards getting hack the
trade that rightfully belongs here.
There is a growing feeling among the
farmers of Bartow county to sustain
their county town and it only needs a
little encouragement from our merchants
and business men to bring them hack to
their first love. They have found out
that it does not pay to carry their cotton
to other markets. The time lost in
transportation, the cost of warehousing,
weighing, sampling fees and the thou
sand and one little incidentals have con
vinced them that the home market is
better after ail. Let our cotton buyers
and merchants generally go to work at
once encouraging them. Let us give the
very best prices. Our buyers are all
very clever gentlemen and will do every
thing they can to bring the cotton here.
Ours is a glorious county, unexcelled
by any in this part of the state. Our
taxes are light comparatively, the cost
of living hi not near so great as in most
towns, u>ur merchants can and do sell
cheaper thaft-*any in this section. The
farmers are finding this out fast.
The mineral interests alone will be the
making of Cartersville some day. It is
simply preposterous to think that they
w;ill remain dormant forever. It is con
ceded by all that we are in one of the
finest mineral belts in* the world. A
very few years will show to our people
one of the livest sections in the world.
The surveying of the East and West
railroad between Broken Arrow and
Birmingham is now being made. After
this part of the road is finished attention
then will be given to the extending of
the road on to Gainesville. The exten
sion to Birmingham will prove to be ontf
of Cartersv file’s greatest blessings, as
our people wifi eventually see.
Taking it all in all we cannot see any
thing but a cheerful outlook for our glo
rious little city. Everything points
that way. Let our people bury their
little political prejudices and work
shoulder to shoulder in bringing our
town to the proper place in the ranks
of Southern towns. Let us have the
trade that rightfully belongs to us. It
can be had simply for the asking.
All our clocks and watches are care
fully inspected and well regulated before
they are allowed to leave our house.

You cannot talk polities and keep

soda water.
Ward OAT Dlseaae and Death
This is the season when the strictest
precaution should be taken to preserve
health. Premises should be kept clean,
and the city’s sanitary regulations should
be heeded. Apropos of this subject is
the following from an exchange: “No
longer does Death ‘go about as a roaring
lion seeking whom he may devour.’
The bold and aggressive policy which
the destroyer of life pursued during the
winter months has been abandoned
and a stealthy, treacherous, Indian meth
od of warfare is now adopted. Death
overheat his victims on the tennis court
and doses them with ice water after
wards. He lurks in unripe fruit. In a
Massachusetts recently he made
an unsuccessful attack on seventy-five
people under cover of ice cream and cake.
He darts his deadly shafts from the rays
of the noon-day sun. He poisons the
streets with noxious gases and disperses
wideeast the baeili of fevers and cholera.
Look out for him. He gives no warning,
and lurks in ambush like an Apache
warrior. Unceasing yigalance is the price
of health at this dangerous season.”

ceived at Curry’s. Mayson and Gem.

with their goods and prices.
The Oat Crop.
Some uneasiness is felt over the mag
niticient oat crop that is now standing
in the field. It is said to be the finest
known in this section for some years, but
if the present wet spell continues it will
soon be placed beyond recovery. One
thing certain, the farmers will harvest It
just as soon as the opportunity presents
itself.
Methodist Corif erence.
The District Conference of the Metho
dist church South for the Dalton dis
trict, held its regular annual meeting at
Adairsville, beginning on Thursday last.
The conference was presided over by
Bishop Hargrove, of Alabama, a courtly
gentleman of the old regime, who pre
sided IVith great ease and satisfaction to
the delegates. The conference was
largely attended, being composed of
clerical and lay delegates from the coun
ties of Dade, Walker, Whitfield, Mur
ray, Pickens, Gordon, a part of Bartow.
The leading spirits among the clergy
were Rev. Dr. Quillian, the presiding
elder, Rev. Dr. G. G. Smith, Sunday
school agent, Rev. Mr. Robbins, of Dal
ton, Rev. Mr. Lee, of Atlanta, Rever
ends Hamilton, Hopkins, Morgan Led
better and others whose names we regret
not to have furnished us. The promi
nent clerical delegates were Col. Shu
mate, of Dalton, Mr. Starr, of Calhoun,
Col. Capers, of Adairsville, Mr. Boyd,
of Adairsville. The general interests
of the church in this district formed in
the varied departments the fruitful
themes of discussions which were lis
tened to with great interest. On Friday
Bishop Hargrave preached a charming
sermon on the discourse of Jesus to the
woman, “The Water of Life.”
Again on Sunday he delivered a ser
mon of great power on the story of Dives
and Lazarus. Asa pulpit orator Bishop
Hargrove is far above the ordinary man
we meet with in our church attendance.
Remarkably fine looking and with a well
kept person he would impress an obser
ver in any collection of men. Rev. Dr.
Smith, in a charming manner, completely
captured the children. He is a loyeable
man with a host of friends in Georgia.
Rev. Mr. Lee delivered a neat 9ermon
on the exceeding wickedness of slander.
He gave the gossip all that this animal
was entitled to
Our old friend Mr. Robbins preached
at ttie Baptist chuch to a large audience
on Sunday, one of his best sermons. The
session of the conference closed with a
feeling and earnest discourse from Rev.
Mr. Quillian, who went for the sinners.
The large crowd was handsomely enter
tained by the hospitable citizens of our
thrifty neighboring town. The people of
Adairsville have warm hearts and big
ovens. They know how to do the clever
thing and on this occasion won many
encomiums of praise from the guests.
We learn that a protracted meeting is
now in progress.
A New Citlsen.
The Colrant is glad to greet Mr. W.
H. Wilhoite, of Shelbyville, Tenn., as
citizen of our beatiful little city. This
gentleman has purchased the storehouse
and stock of goods of Mr. William Sat
terfield, on East Main street, and wifi
henceforth be recognized as one of our
livest merchants. He is now engaged
taking stock and closing out a class of
goods preparatory to laying in a large
supply of agricultural Implements, field
seeds, etc. We are glad to see such a
clever gentleman locate among us. He
comes highly recommended and we
know lie wifi be pleased in his selection
of a location.
A Great Improvement.
Property owners along the lower edge
of Tennessee street have been annoyed
for years from the great flow of water
down it after every hard rain. In mauy
instances the water got up into private
residences. This has all been remedied
by cutting a huge ditch in front of the
Tennessee House to the old Thompson
livery stable. Now the water is carried
away without any trouble.
Half Sheet Next Week.
It has always been customary for coun
try weeklies to take holidays at Christ
mas and fourth of July. The Coukant
does not wish to be an exception to this
rule. There wifi only be a half sheet is
sued from this office next week and it
will appear Thursday afternoon. Our
intention is to give our readers a full re
port of the congressional convention that
meets here that day.
Wants Business, Nat Politics.
A prominent lawyer of our town re
ceived the following note from one of his
clients Monday:
“I think I will be In Cartersville next
Tuesday to see you on legal business.
Please don’t have your head too full of
Gordon nor your stomach too full of Ba
con to attend to it.”
A large assortment of Clocks, including
the Ithica Calendar clock, at less than
half the price of those peddled through
the country at Turner A Baker.
On Monday next ground will he broken
for the new building to be erected on the
corner of Pryor and Wheat streets for
the Young Men’s Christian Association
of Atlanta. The contract was closed
Friday, and E. F. Faciolle, of Atlanta,
was the successful party. There wers a
number of bidders. A Chicago contrac
tor was close to Mr. Faciolle, but the
Atlanta builders get the work. The
plans provide a building for the young
men of Atlanta which will not only be
an ornament to the city and the Slate,
hut will l>e the most perfect and commo
dious building of the kind in the South.
The building when complete will occupy
a unique position among similar build
ings in this country because of the
phenomenal manner in which the fund
to build it was raised, and because of its
conspicuous isolation from the other
buildings of the kind in the United
States. The building will be five stories
high, brick with stone top of first story,
finished with ornamental brick and terra
cotta. The Treasurer of the Board of
Trustees of the building asks that sub
scribers to the building fund send in their
checks for the second installment.
The Formula Is Good.
Rknfrok, Ala.,— Having for nine
years been iu the drug business and
knowing the formula for Curry’s Liver
Compound, 1 consider It one of the best
of all preparations as a family medicine,
in all cases of the derangement of the
liver and the disease incident thereto.
Especially can 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 remoyes
the intense nausea incident thereto. I
cannot do without it in my family.
R. Stoker Sayre.
IN MEXORIAM.
At a meeting of the Sabbath school of
Friendship at the Presbyterian church
of Cartersville, Ga., the following pre
amble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly
Father, in His wise and never erring
Providence to call from our midst, our
beloved sister, Mrs. Georgia Murphy;
and whereas we believe and accept as
truth that Scripture which teaches us
that He is too wise to err, and too good
to be unkind : but that in all His dealings
with His children. His thoughts are al
ways thoughts of kindness and mercy,
and what may appear to the severe pun
ishments are but the chastisements of a
loving Father, and are intended to draw
us nearer to Him.
Therefore, he it resolved :
That in the death of our sister and
friend we, as a Sabbath school, have lost
one of our most faithful and efficient
teachers, and co-workers in the Master’s
vineyard; one who was always at her
post, and ready with both heart and
hands to do all in hor power to edify and
advance her class, and to encourage all
others, both teachers and pupils in the
good work, and who as a Christian, by
her meekness, gentleness and devotion to
the cause of her Savior, and her interest
in the welfare of her church, won and
retained the admiration, confidence and
love of all who knew her. To know her
was to love her.
Resolved, That while we feel most
keenly the severity of the blow which
our Father has laid upon us, and deeply
deplore the loss of one so much beloved
by us all, we meekly bow to the will of
our Lord and Master, and pray that w r e
may be able to emulate her life and ex
ample ; and that in his infinite mercy He
wifi take her place 1q the hearts oi those
bereaved by her death.
Resolved, That this memorial be
spread upon the minutes of our Sabbath
school, and that a copy be sent to her
bereaved companion, our brother, Robt.

Stamp Creek Ripples.
This “dotter” attended the district
conference which convened at Adairsville
last week, where he heard some very fine
sermons troui such notable ministers as
Bishop Hargrove, Reverends John R.
Robbins, J. W. Lee and a young Mr.
Stuart, of “Centenary college, “Holston
conference. The conference seemed to
he charmed with the earnestness, pro
fundity of thought, originality and elo
quence of all these gentlemen; but I am
constrained to say that Rev. Mr. Stuart,
mentioned above, bore oft the honors of
the occasion. His theme was one upon
which we had heard many older men
preach often, but he handled it in anew
light and altogether differently, and every
word seemed surcharged with a vitality
that thrilled our very hearts as it fell to
musically and eloquently from the lips of
the accomplished speaker. We predict
for this young man a bright career.
We were also greatly amused and
highly entertained by the sallies of wit,
and admirable loiric displayed by the
inimitable Brothers G. G. bmith, Sunday
school agent, and Rufus Smith, of La-
Grange College. These brethern were
the life of the body. We were assigned
to the elegant country home of that price
ot host, Mr. Trimbie, Sr., where we were
feasted upon lucius mutton, sweet coun
try hams and many other substautiais
which displayed the wise liusbaudry of
our host, and upon the richest delicacies
which were triumphs of the culinary
art and which bespoke the
splendid accomplishments of our
hostess, all ot which were dispeused with
an ease and elegance which at once made
us feel entirely at home and inspired our
highest admiration. Approaching Mr.
Trimble’k residence from the direction of
Adairsville our road ran along the brow
of a hill which overlooked a meadow
seemingly of about a mile in area, dotted
here and there with beautiful shade trees,
with a background of towering, rugged
mountain, over which a setting sun cast
a halo of rich, mellow light, which
thrilled us by its beauty and made
us wish we could have transferred
to cauvas a landscape far more
beautiful than an artist’s dream.
This indeed was a princely, elegant
home, with its extensive meadows, corn
and wheat fields, fine stock, barns, etc.
We also had the pleasure of dining
with Adairsville’s fat, jolly, clever post
master, Mr. Earle, whose most amiable
lady, though an adept in the culinary
art, seemed mistress of the still greater
accomplishment of making her guests
feel at ease and perfectly welcome. We
enjoyed the hospitality of another brother
whoso name we have forgotten. But
suffice it to say wo were charmed with
the courtesy and hospitality of the clever
people of Adairsville.
It would have amused you, Mr. Editor,
to have heard one of our hostesxe elec
tioneering so earnestly for Mr. Bacon.
Gen. Gordon should go to Adairsville
and kiss the children, as is his custom, or
he may lose some votes.

of Atlanta.
Miss Kate Hargis is spending a few
weeks in the country with Mis. Kate
Harris.
Mr. Henry Hargis, of Chattanooga, is

Misses Howard are looking for some of
their summer boarders this week, but If
the rain continnes everybody will want
to stay at home.
Dr. Dyer preached a series of ser
mons on “Baptism.” They were logical
and certainly no one who heard him
could fail to give the subject thought.
All of our wheat that is in the field is
sprouting in the shocks. What little we
made will spoil. All the cotton and
corn is in bail fix on account of too much
rain. The cotton is very grassy and
many have failed to do anything for
it save chopping it out.

One of the biggest cotton swindles on
record has just been successfully executed
In St Louis. It was worked by a buye r
who formerly had headquarters In Hope,
Ark., but now does business from Texar
kana, Tex. About a month ago he ar
ranged a sale of 3,000 bales of good mid
dling from Texarkana to Eastern buyers,
sending samples from that place. He
requested the privilege of shipping from
St. Louis as he could make better freight
arrangements. Having secured the cot
ton a shade under the market tlie Eastern
parties readily gave him permission to
forward the cotton in that way. Having
secured the buyers’ consent for that pur
pose, the Texan came here and bought
recklessly all the low, sandy and stained
cotton he could find, until he had filled
his orders. The cotton was shipped and
the drafts paid on samples sent from
Texarkana, through arrangements made
with Texas banks and their St. Louis cor
respondents. His excess of profits are es
timated at $35,000.
OVERSTOCKED!

On account of the lateness of the summer and inclemency of

A Godsend to This Family.
It gives me great pleasure to add my
testimonial in recommendation ot Curry’s
Liver Compound. My son aged about
twenty-two years was alfiicted with a
tremendous misery in the head. He
became almost blind. After trying two
physicians, who pronounced it sore eyes,
but did him no good. I concluded to try
a bottle of your Liver Compound, which
resulted in a perfect cure. lam satisfied
it is one of the best medicinees now be
fore the public and only needs a trial to
recommend itself.

IN NEW QUARTERS.
Messrs. Lord A Thomas, of Chicago,
the well-known and popular Advertising
Agents are about to move into new
quarters, whicli are so spacious, so
elegant, and so original and novel in
their appointments, that they deserve
more than a passing notice.
The building, Nos. 45, 47 and 49
Randolph St., iietween State aud Wa
bash Ave., is at once the most striking
in appearance and the most elegant in
Chicago; built of sandstone, it is 70 by
174 feet, practically fire proof, and
lighted on four sides. Three large ele
vators and two spacious stairways, give
abundant facilities for passengers and
freight.
Messrs. Lord A Thomas will occupy
the entire third lloor, giving them a
superficial area of nearly 12,000 square
feet. This beautifully lighted room is
unbrokeu by partitions, save a private
office iu one corner, thus bringing the
entire working force of about sixty
clerks into one spacious room, certainly
in the country, il not the largest business
office of any kind on the continent.
The various departments, are so ar
ranged, that the work passes along with
almost mechanical regularity.
While the entire appointments are ele
gant, the Ailing department is arranged
on an entirely new principle, which
amounts to an important invention.
Heretofore Advertising Agents have
filed their Newspaper in wooden pigeon
holes, which not only excluded the light,
but caught and retained the dust, and
thus proved a nuisance. The new filing
department of Messrs. Lord A Thomas is
made ontirelv of wire work; a seperafe
compartment is made for each News
paper., Magazine ami Perodical in the
U. S. and Canada, about 14,000 in all.
The various sections are suspended from
the ceiling, and hang clear of the floor,
leaving a space under each one so that
the entire floor can be swept.
Space will not permit us to describe
this important improvement in detail.
The principles upon which it is construc
ted will bo covered by letters patent.
The Chicago Safe and Lock Cos., are
constructing for the firm one of the lar
gest safes ever built in Chicago.
Our friends who wish to see a copy of
our paper when in Chicago, can always
find it on file at the Agency of Messrs.
Lord A Thomas.

Rocked in the ivory cradle, inlaid with
gold and silver, presented to him by his
grandmother, the ex-Queen Isabella, and
nourished by the omnipotent wet-nurse,
the infant King of Spain continues to
thrive. Queen Christina is gradually re
suming her usual duties. She distributes
more than 100,000 lire a month in char
ity, without counting extra donations to
almshouses, hospitals and other beuevo
leut institutions, some of which she
founded herself. On the hank of the
Manganeres, in sight of the royal palace,
iu an open aud cheerful spot, one sees a
little house painted in bright colors, sur
rounded by a garden, from which in
passing one hears the laughter, shouts
and cries of children. The Queen had it
built as a resort for the little children of
the laundresses, who, while their moth
ers were working, used to be left on the
streets. It is a mingling of almshouse
and school. She has also founded a hos
pital for foundlings, a house or species
of college for the children of the tobacco
workers, and a distribution of soup, meat
and bread for all the poor of the city.
She has several times gone quite unex
pectedly to assist in the distribution to
assure herself that no abuse was made of
it, aud having once discovered some
roguery, she provided against auy repeti
tion of the offense. The Sisters of Chari
ty receive from her every mouth 70,000
lire.
An Arkansas farmer writes that last
year, when ’coons made havoc iu his
corn field, he went to the drug store to get
strychnine with which to kill them. By
mistake the druggist gave him morphine,
and the next morning he found his fields
full of sleeping ’coons. He advises the
use of morphine instead of strychnine.
