THE COURANT. Published Every Thursday, CARTERS VILLE, GEORGIA. Official Organ Bartow Connty. rtf' ~ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1886. A heavy snow storm prevailed during the early part of the week in the north ern and New England States. Now let our whole people come to gether and harmoniously elect a strong, progressive municipal ticket. Lay aside long-harbored prejudices for a little while and give the good old town half a chance. Ben. Perry has enlarged his Cherokee Advance, and is now making it a live local paper, one that reflects credit on Ben. and his county. Ben.’s work shows for itself and the people are not slow in appreciating it. When young Joe Brown bought Ken nesaw mountain several months ago the public was at a loss to know what he was going to do with it. From an advertise ment of the great Kennesaw Route we see he has set the old thing to music. Governor John B. Gordon was in augurated Tuesday and entered at once upon the duties of his office. Now look for a live, fair, prosperous administra tion. His first official act was to sign a warrant for an olu, disabled Confederate soldier. On Saturday and Sunday last, slight shocks of earthquake tremors were felt in South Carolina. The motion was said to be lateral and undulations and the ii brations were felt for nearly a minute. Some alarm was created in Columbia and Charleston, but no damage was done. The negroes are greatly alarmed at the repeated shocks. A new cure for consumption has been originated by a German doctor. lie makes his patients pass the night in the open air of the I’huringian forest, well wrapped up, and sleeping in light ham mocks so as to avoid all damp from the ground. A watchman keeps off all in truders who might disturb the night’s rest, and the experiment has proved wonderfully successful. A rill has been introduced in the present legislature to supply dead bodies to the medical colleges, and making grave robbing a felony. It is hoped that the solons will specify as to what are. dead bodies, as mistakes might occur in grabbing up men that don’t advertise. There is not much difference, and it will be an easy matter to make mistakes un der such a general law. The Kennesaw Gazette for November is an exceptionally fine sheet and reflects credit upon Col. A. L. Harris, the editor, and his able assistants. It is a good ad vertisement of the country through which the great Kennesaw route travers es. and will do a power of good. This section with its manifold attractions and advantages receive careful attention in placing them before the Arthur Orton well known as the great claimant of the Tichborne title and estate in England, was arrested and jail ed in New York Saturday, the 7th Inst., upon complaint of the Pension depart ment at Washington, charged with per sonating one Charles Curtis, formerly of a New York regiipent, and attempting to diaw pension money. Orton was held in jail in default of $25000 bail. Dai.ton votes on the waterworks question Saturday. The town was enter prising enough to vote for public schools a few weeks ago, and the election of wa terworks seems to be a foregone conclu sion. Dalton and Marietta are whooping up things and have long ago left the ruts of discontent and petty bickerings among their people, and gone to honest hard work in efforts to build up their towns. The Georgia Press Association meets at Valdosta next May and a trip to Cuba is to be had. When the time comes for handing out the tickets for this delightful excursion we expect to see the fourth estate imposed upon by fellows that don’t knew a shooting stick from a double leaded editoiial. Won’t President Ectill draw the line somew'here as to who are really entitled to courtesies intended for newspaper men, and them only ? CITY AND COUNTRY WEEKLIES. The Constitution of Sunday has an ar ticle upon the alleged encroachment of city weeklies upon the territory of county papers. The Constitution very properly says that no fears ought to be entertained by any properly conducted county paper altogether printed at home; the com plaints are generally, if not entirely, from papers with patent outsides, “filled with matter three weeks old clipped from the city weekly and cooked up for rural consumption.” A paper that has for its object the up building and advancement of the com munity in which it is published and the good of the county at large, always up with the fullest and latest news of local interest, need have no fear whatever of the competition with the city weeklies. So far as The Courant is concerned it interposes no objection to the immense circulation of the weekly Constitution or any other weekly, for no other paper printed beyond the confines ot this coun ty can, in the nature of things, print matter that is of especial benefit to local readers, simply for the reasons that the same facilities are not offered or obtained to procuj e the news, and furthermore city weeklies cannot afford the space, no "matter how ,ar £ e the P a P er may be ’ to special town and county matters. It is a question simple and plain for the farm er, merchant, lawyer and everybody else who taker a county paper, to decide which ?* In every way the best paper pub lished in n e county and to subscribe for that paper. Fair competition hurts no one and with two or more papers pub lished in the same place, it is nothing more nor less than the survival of the fit test. The city weeklies are as harmless as “spent shafts against a coat of mail” to a county paper that has for its foundation energy, enterprise and a wide-awake sense of what is news ot local interest. —**— 1 • ** lrJ *The CoOtM* office is now next door to l obtoffioe. the Goransoks message. Governor McDaniel’s legislature was “ter or a century the Federal govern “ment Is administered by a I resident for “whom the vote of the State was cast The Governor marks the progress of the people in the elements of mater,al pr<*- perity throughout the State and ,s spired with the belief that this progress is permanent. Referring to the condition of the State’s finances, drawn from the Treas urers report, the following gratifying showing is found to exist: “Cash bal ance in the Treasury Oct. 1, 1884, was $148,200 76; receipts for the year ending Sept! 60,1885, $1,777,428 16; disburse ments for the same period $1,441,338 19; balance Oct. 1, 1885, $484,190 73. Receipts for the year ending Sept. 30, 1886, were $4,220,130 33; disbursements during same period $4,453,393 10, leaving balance, Oct. 1, 1880, $250,927 96. q’he message calls attention to the fact that the time has arrived for carrying in to effect the law requiring the creation of a sinking fund to pay off and retire the state bonds not yet matured, and for no other purpose. The Governor alludes to the reports of the various state officers and railroad commissioners, etc. Fiona the report of the chief officers of the penitentiary it is seen that the num ber of penitentiary convicts on October 20, 1884, was 1,368; received from jail since, 777, making a total of 2,145. Of this number 493 have have been discharg ed, 57 have escaped, and 68 died; total GlB, leaving on the rollg of the peniten tiary October 1, 1886,1,527. Under the head of “Department of Ag riculture,” the Governor says: “The net amount realized as fee3 for the inspection of fertilizers is $75,500. This is a decrease of nearly $5,000 from the amount received into the treasury from the same source during the season of 1884 5, and is doubtless due in part to the determination of the farmers of Georgia to utilize the means of fertiliza tion which with proper care may Le found at home.” Reference is made in the report to a former recommendation to the General Assembly to amend the law relating to the inspection and analysis of fertilizers. The views of the Commissioner on this subject are again expressed and your at tention is respectfully invited to them. The report shows that proper attention has been given to the several subjects connected with the Department of Ag riculture. Satisfactory results have fol lowed the distribution of seeds, and the efforts of the Fish Commissioners to stock the waters of the state with fish have been rewarded with reasonable success. The Commissioner repeats the recom mendation made for the establishment of an experimental station for the benefit of agriculture. In my last biennial mes sage to the General Assembly a similar recommendation was made. The farm ers of Georgia, represented by the State Agricultural Society, have made repeated demands that a portion of the money col lected from their peculiar calling should be devoted to the improvement of agri culture. More tnaTi year from the charge of fertilizers —paid, of course, by the consumers on the far ms. Without discussing this tax, it would seem that the request made for the appli cation of part of the revenue derived therefrom for the benefit of agriculture is not unreasonable. On the subject of education he says: “The enrollment of white scholars in 1885 was 190,346; colored, 119,248. The average attendance in 1885 was 209.184, which was an increase over the preced ing year of 14,149. “The amount raised by the state for common school purposes in 1885 was $506,328 08, which was in excess of the amount raised in 1882, $40,519 73. Tbe aggregate of the school fund for 1886 cannot yet be determined wfih accuracy, as the sum to be derived from poll tax is is unknown. There was appropriated to schools in 1885 by cities and counties, under local laws, $209,463 49, so that the entire amount available for school purposes last year was $15,791 57. This gives an average per capita on enrollment of sl,- 407, and an average attendance of $3,- 421.” The report of the Trustees of the State University indicate a prosperous year in all the branches of the University. Referring to the lunatic asylum, the Governor says: “The report of the trus tees and officers of the Lunatic Asylum stows that on October 1,1855, there were in the institution 1,237 patients. Of these 892 were while and 345 colored. There has been received during the year ending October 1, 1886, 274 white and 117 colored, making a total of 391. Dis charged, removed, returned to counties, and died during the year, white and colored, 390—leaving in the asylum Oct. I, 1,238. The average number in treat ment during the year was 1,237; whole number receiving treatment 1,628. Daily cost of each patient, 33%c,” He also recommends that the appi-o priation for the support of the asylum asked for by the trustees, $175,000, per annum for 1887 and 1888, be made. Concluding a long reference to the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, the Governor says: “Pending executive ac tion in the final settlement between the state and company, I was informed by the treasurer that a bill had been filed in the Supeiior Court of Cobb county, by J. P. Harrison, and a citizen of the state, against the company and the treasurer, to test the constitutionality of the resolu tion cf October 1, 1885, and to restrain the treasurer from delivering and the company from receiving its bonds. This bill was sanctioned by the Hon. J. C. Fain, Judge of the Cherokee Circuit, with the usual restraining order, and an order gianted requiring the defendants to show cause on Nov. Bth, inst., why the injunction piayed for should not be granted. “Satisfied that it was my duty to car ry into effect the resolution, an executive order was issued on October 2, 1886, de claring that the company, having com plied with the terms of the resolution, was entitled to the surrenderor its bonds, and that the same should be surrendered and cancelled upon the filing of the company’s release, as provided in the resolution whenever the restraining order hen inbeforfe mentioned shall be revoked. W hilst the treasurer is charged with no duty by the resolution in reference to this matter, he is the head of one branch of the Executive Department. The courtesy due from the Executive to the Judiciary, a c>-orJinate branch of the Sißte government, induced me to suspend the execution of the order until the in junction shall be dissolved.” Mentioning the pressing needs of a system of savings banks in the state, he says: “In this connection the laws re “lating to hanks and bankers should be “revised so as to subject the books, ac “counts and assets to personal examina tion by a state official charged with that “duty. The time may not be distant “when state hanks will be permitted to “issue bills for circulation, and provision “should be made to commend them to “public confidence.” The Governor speaks in complimentary terms of the effiehnjy of the volunteer military, organizations of the state. In concluding his message the Gov ernor says: “Georgia deservedly holds a “high rank amongst the states of the “Union. Extent of territory, variety “and salubrity of climate, abounding “resources of soil, timber and minerals, “and increasing population, in them selves woull not be sufficient to give “the state such rank if the government “had been unfaithfully or unwisely ad “ministered. It may be truthfully said “of our various state, county and mu nicipal officials that they have been “reasonably zealous in the discharge of “their duty.” A PROGRESSIVE PARTY. A movement is taking shape in Car tersville to put forward at the next mu nicipal election a progressive ticket for mayor and aldermen of this town, and the idea of calling a mass meeting to be held in the opera house some time early next week for the purpose of nominating men for the offices of mayor and alder men who are endowed with a spirit of progress and who will exercise energy and enterprise in the procurement for tills town of every facility for its pro gress and good lias been determined upon. The idea, which has been pretty freely ventilated in town, looks to the election of young, progressive and clear headed men at the head of our municipal affairs; negative men and men who are afraid to branch out into untried enter prises are to bo ignored, no matter what their personal popularity or following may have been or may be. The ties of blood relationship or clannish affiliation, will not be permitted to play any part in the selection of men to control the town aflairs. From information obtained the objects of the progressive movement is to elect such town officials who will pledge them selves to use their best efforts to obtain waterworks for the town, a system of free schools and the prosecution of a railroad from this point to Gainesville to rapid completion. These improvements are such as will commend themselves to ev ery live, wide-awake, energetic man in the community. The water works idea is one of almost paramount importance and is entirely practical. The rate of in surance on property would be reduced at least one-half by having a system of wa terworks, to say nothing of the vast im provement to property and convenience to householders. S Q veral plans are spo ken of in this connection. One is to have the reservoir somewhere up in the neighboring mountains, run the mains down through some of the manganese beds into the city. The fall would be sufficient to throw a strong stream into any part of the town from water plugs placed judiciously. Besides the great saving in risk and insurance the income and revenue to the city from such water works would be large. The principal main3 could be tapped and water convey ed into every house; the water could be sent through smaller pipes into the ore beds from which a profitable revenue could be obtained; the W. &A. railroad now pays about SI,OOO per annum for water at Rogers station and the East and West pays something like S4OO per an num for the water It obtains near here. These two roads would undoubtedly use the water from the water works should they be built, which would be an addi uoi.ai income of value. Independent of all this the fact of water works in a town always places it upon a splendid basis for inviting settlers and capital. As to public schools the idea is to put in thorough repair the colored school house and run that with one or two other schools on the free school plan. Of course the public schools would only reach a certain grade, to be determined, and would not affect the college or pri vate school enterprises. The railroad to Gainesville has ben written of and spoken of so much that it is a familiar subject in this community, and its importance cannot be too highly estimated. The point is, as b fore stated, to get men who will run on this progressive platform to handle the interests of Car tersville. There can be no object or good in delaying improvements here, for if they are to be made at all, and if Car tersville ever purposes competing with her sister towns in the State, it is high time that something real and tangible was being done to improve the material and internal resources of the community. It is therefore earne'tly hoped that the whole voting population of the toivn will turn olu when the call is made and unite on men of the right calibre and quality who will carry out the wishes of the com munity as to progress and improvement. It w 7 ill be made known perhaps in th? 8 issue of The Courant when the mass meeting will occur. The New York Sun says a Georgian who forty years and four months ago bought a clock that has been steadily run ning since, figures out that it has been running fourteen thousand seven hun dred and twenty days, three hundred and fifth-thousand two hundred and eighty hours, twenty-one million one hundred and ninety-six thousand eight hundred minutes, one billion two hundred and seventy-one million eight hundred and eighty thousand seconds, fn winding up the clock his hand has traveled fitty-six miles. The clock has struck two million two hundred and ninety-six thousand three hundred and twenty times, and ticked one billion two hundred and sev enty-one million eight hundred and eighty thousand time3. A STIR IN HIGH CIRCLES. The Constitution of Sunday created a flurry of excitement in this com munity, by publishing an attack on Judge Fain end W. R. Rmkin, of Gor don county. George R. Eager and J. A. Bisaner, lately of Boston, swears that these gentlemen accepted lobbying fees in getting bills through the Georgia legislature to secure the use of Georgia material in the new capitol in stead of oolitic limestone. The state ments of these fellows caused some com ment, but with those that knew Judge Fain well did not put in credence in the charges. Below we print cards from both Judge Fain and Mr. Rankin. The legislature will look into the matter very early, we are informed, and the conclu sions of the investigating committee is anxiously looked forward to. FROM JUDGE j. C. FAIN. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9th, 1886. Editors Courant: I enclose slip with a card from myself and one from W. F. Rankin, published in the Constitution of this morning, and which I desire published in your paper, together with this letter. I desire that, especially those of mv immediate sec tion, who have known me from child hood, know something of the dirty in wardness of the scheme of the Boston thief, George R. Eiger, and his misera ble tool, J. A. Bisaner. In addition to what I have said in my card above re ferred to, I have this to say that many of the best cuizens of the State who know this miserable creature Bisaner, tell me that they would not believe him on oath. That in addition to being prose cuted for perjury, he has been arraigned and fined in Jasper Superior court for indecent proposals to and using obscene and vulgar language to a respectable lady. The many acts of this man, George R. Eager, will, when developed and made public, show that he has made his advent into Georg:a for spoils and to oppress the tax-payers and nothing else. Publish this and the enclosed cards in vour present issue. J. C. Fain. A CARD FROM JUDGE FAIN. The lollowing card from Judge J. C. Fain was received yesterday, and is pub lished with pleasure, and will he read with interest: Atlanta, Ga , November 9th, 1886. Editors Constitution—l see in the Consti tution of this morning an affidav.it over the signature of J. A Bisaner, in which he swears that I received money from General William Phillips for lobbying for Georgia material for the new capitol, and against the use of oolitic limestone; that General Phillips paid Hon. W. R. Rankin and myself money, in his pres ence, Phillips receiving the same from James P. Harrison. I desire to say em phatically, that this affidavit of J. A. Bisaner, so far as lam concerned, is most wickedly, wilfully and maliciously false, as will be testified by each and all of the gentlemen mentioned in its affida vit. Ido not know of my own knowl edge, but am informed that said J. A. Bisaner is now under prosecution for pegury in one of the counties of the Blue Ridge circuit. I know nothing of the transactions mentioned by Mr. George R. Eager in his interview further than my official conduct goes as a judge of the Superior court. In the two cases which have been before me, and in which the Marietta & North Georgia railroad com pany has been a defendant, 1 have de cided on the healing in favor of the com pany. In the first case my jurisdiction of the last case I transferred to the United States court, and my action was affirmed by the Supreme court of the State of Georgia. I refused to take ju risdiction of the case so soon as Judge Brown made affidavit that he was not qualified, though one of tbe sworn allegations in the hill was that Judge Brown was personally interested in the subject matter of the suit and disqualifi ed. My official and private conduct is open to a full investigation by every citi zen of the State of Georgia. J. C. Fain. MR. RANKINGS CARD. Calhoun, Ga , November 7th, 1886. Editor Cotistitution: That it may appear in your Monday morning’s issue, I have only time to say in reference to the charges made in the affidavit of J. A. Bisaner in to-day’s paper, that so far as t hey relate to me, they are false—willful, wicked and malicious lies. I cannot conceive the motive that prompted such an assault upon me. I never, in a long legislative career, reeeiv. ed one dollar from any source that was not honestly and justly got—never one cent corruptly. To his other sin*, I unqualifiedly say, Bisaner has added the sin and crime cf perjury. W”. R. Rankin. - ♦ An uproar exists at LaCrosse, Wiscon sin, on account of the enforcement of the Sunday laws.

MB. J. A. BAKERS BEPLY TO MR, F. M. DI RHAM. To tue Editors of thk Com ant: In to-day’s A meriean I notice a communica tion signed by Mr. Durham, Clerk of the Supe i or Court, which when taken in connection with the certificate which forms a part of the article, is a very remarkable document for two reasons. First, it is remarkable for what U says, and secondly, it is very remarkable for what it leaves unsaid. >lr. Durham, together with the jury commis sioners, have recorded in the Ordinary's ofliee an oath of which the lollowinz is a copy: “Y'ou shall faithfully and impartially discharge the duty of jury commissioners for the county of Bartow, in accordance with the constitution of this state, to the best of your skill and knowl edge, and the deliberations and counsel of the jury commissioners, while m the discharge of their duties, you shall forever keep secret and inviolate, unless called upon to give evidence thereof in some court of justice or other legal tribunal of this state, so help you God.” The oath of Mr. Durham as to secrecy is exactly that of the commissioners. In view of this oath and the following section of the Act approved Sept. 26th, 1883, to-wit: Sec. 11l That in case any jury commissioner or clerk of the superior court shall wilfully and in tentionally violate the terms of his said oatn, such person shall be guilty of the offense of false swearing, and on conviction shall be pun ished by imprisonment and labor in the peniten tiary of this state for not less than one year nor longcr.than five years. The disclosures made in the article of Mr. Durham above referred to i indeed remarkable. Now, as to the article being remarkable for what it leaves unsaid. A witness when sworn in court is sworn to tell the truth and the whole truth. A jury would necessarily make a very erroneous verdict did it not have the whole truth before it. For example, if the witnesses on the trial of a man for murder were to he allowed only to state that they saw John Doe shoot and kill Richard Roe. The jury with only this tes timony before it would he compelled to find John Doe guilty of some degree of homicide. But if in connection with the above testimony the witnesses were permitted to state that while they did see John Doe shoot and kill Richard Roe, he did not do so until Richard Roe had, with a drawn dagger, chased John Doe for half a mile to the wall, swearing every- step that he would kill him, the verdict then would be quite a different one. Mr. Durham says “I leave the matter to a generous public to decide.” Before doing so the public should, like the jury, have the whole truth, ami not a partial statement of it. Mr. Durham did not slate that during the July term of the court, when Judge Fain asked if there were any appointments of jury commis sioners to be made, lie was informed that there were none. Judge Fain, if he had been correct ly informed, would have had ample time to con sider well his appointment and would doubtless have made appointments which would have given general satisfaction, and .whose labors would have been attended with quite a different result. Mr. Durham did not state that the old com missioners met on the 11th nay of August aud proceeded to revise the jury boxes, but ascer tained that the term of service of two of the commissioners had expired ami that another w s inelligible because lie had been elected one of the County Commissioners. This discovery was made after the list had been canvassed aud agreed upon. Mr. Durham did not state that ho and the parties present, the jury commissioners, agreed that those commissioners whose terms of ofliee had expired should be reappointed because Capt. Dobbs was inelligible, they agreed upon Mr. Corbin. Mr. Durham sought Mr. John 11. Wikle, and got him to draft the order appoint ing the men thus agreed upon and went and telegraphed Judge Fain and met Judge Fain on the train in this city as he passed through and upon his personal assurance to Judge Fain that the men whose appointmont he then held in his hand were agreed upon and would give satisfac tion, and then and there induced Judge Fain to sign in pencil the prepared order. He fails also to state that Judge Fain says that one of the men appointed would never have been appoint ed but for Mr. Durham’s assurances. Mr. Durham then notified his men and they again met on the 17th of August, and after tak ing the oath recanvassod the jury list and made up the boxes. Here the curtain falls, we don’t know what they did or what they said. Mr. Durham would have “a generous public” to believe that while the list of jurymen was being prepared he set up there like an Egyptian Mummy, said nothing and did nothing. In his article he fails to re member that on the back-stairway of the court house he told the writer he furnished certain in formation to the commissioners as to who were the jurymen who had rendered certain verdicts He fails to remember and state that in the hard ware house of Baker & Hall he told W. C. Baker that the commissioners did consult with him re garding certain parties who he knew ind they did not, and that they would frequently so con sult him. One of the jury commissioners who signed the certificate fails to remember that he told Wm. A. Chunn in Cassville that Mr. Durham was consulted about the fitness of certain gen tlemen for the jury box. Out of about four thousand voters in the coun ty, we have the paltry number of one hundred and twenty-three in the grand jury box. We know that men who entertain political views have been very liberally selected from, and men who entertain different political views have been almost entirely rejected. We know that men were rejected because they were on a jury that rendered a verdict which did not meet the approval of the commissioners. We know that some of the very best men in the county have been thrown entirely out of the jury box aud a great number reduced from grand to traverse jurors, and all this done under the very nose of Mr. Durham without, according to his article, a single protest on his part, and according to his statements heretofore upon consultation with him. If the public tolerates for one minute the manner in which Mr. Durham secured the ap pointment of the jury commissioners and the complexion they have given the jury boxes it is indeed and in truth what Mr. Durham terms it, “a generous public,” too generous indeed for its own good. why should Mr. Durham have failed to give all this information it he did not know that it was damning to Ins candidacy? Mr. Durham and his tribunal have passed adversely upon the uprightness and intelligence of a large majority of the voters of this county and if In this judg ment Mr. Durham shall lie supported by the very men upon whom he has thus passed adversely. I am very much deceived by the voters of Bartow county. lu conclusion I desire to say to the young men of the county that to be placed in the jury box is a recognition by the authorities of the state of your uprightness and intelligence which you have a right to demand, and I further say to your fathers that it is a recognition which they should help you to secure. If tho young men are not upright and intelligent the fathers must share their part of the reproach. Ido not mean to he understood as saying that any name in the jury box ought not to he there, but I do say you ought to lie there and others ought to lie there with you. Truly, J. A. Baker.

ATLANTA, CA. GRASSDALE GOSSIP. BY PEREGRINE. Since iny last Jack Frost lias laid his withering hand heavily upon vegetation, nature around us is donning a different colored robe and getting ready to go into winter quarters. Did any one ever see lot o :er wah r ? We c-a i hardly realize that summer has gone, and that winter with her chilling blasts will soon over take ns, but such is the undoubted fact, and all should profit bv the biuer experi ence of the last two winters and prepare for emergencies. Miss Allcen Best spent a week at the home of Dr. Battle, with his daughter, Sh.ll le May. We all enjoyed her vi-it. Hope she will repeat it soon. Especially as we miss the daily training of old Tom, by two beautiful young ladies. Had you com menced sooner the doctor could have en tered Tom as a trottf rat the State Fair. Mr. T. F. Jeffries of Smyrna, but orig inally from the Valley of Virginia, came among us the first of the month. VY e hope he will spend some time with us, for he is such good company. Seems like one of the family to the whole neigh borhood, and it carries us back to dear Old Virginia, to talk over old times with him. Our people are beginning to appear in their new winter apparel. The young ladies look more charming than ever, if possible, the new styles are so becoming to them. Some of the boys are sporting dei by hats, all they now lack is the cane to make them dudes.

Interesting Pointers from the “Forks of the Road.” Mrs. Rogers has returned from Cass Station, where she has been spending the last month. Mr. D. S. Colbert, of Cedartown, has been spending some time here. He says the marriage fever has struck Kingston, and he has come here prospecting. Mr. Geo. Harris is flying around town in a handsome top buggy behind a fiery steed. Mrs. A. Y. Sheats has bought the Couche house, and will hereafter run it herself. This alone speaks success for the house. Rev. James England preached his last sermon here last Sunday, which was the finest effort of the whole year. That speaks wonders. The social event of last week was the birthday dinner given by Mr. J. B. Eubanks. Miss Carlisle, sister of Mr. Eubank’s wife, of Cassville, was married to Mr. Crow of Crow’s Springs, the day before, and Mr. Eubanks tendered them a reception at the same time, and was a grand success and all present can bear testimony with the writer. An occasional jug from Rome gives our town council business, otherwise they would hardly ever have a session. The farmers are in a hard place, they don’t know what to wish for. If it don’t rain they can’t sow wheat, if it does rain it will hurt the cotton.' We are glad indeed to see Mr. W, A. Gillam improving so much in health. Curious Facts.

The slave trade is being carried on in the Persian gulf with great activity at the present time. “At present,” writes a vi-itor to the island of St. Kilda, “whistling is strictly forbidden here.” At Chimapia in Mexico the other day a hill was split in two by some mysterious subterranean force. A farmer near Greenfield, S. C., has 10,000 pecan trees, from which he this year secured a large quantity of nuts. A remarkably rich gold mine is re ported to have been discovered in a bear’s den in the Coeur d’ Alene country. # The mine is called the Biack Bear.

Catarrh Is a constitutional disease, caused by scrofu lous taint in the blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, being a constitutional remedy, purifies the blood, builds up the whole system, and per manently cures catarrh. Thousands of people who suffered severely with this disagreeable disease, testify with pleasure that catarrh Can be cured by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Mrs. Alfred Cunningham, Fallon Avenue, Provi dence, R. 1., says: “I have suffered with catarrh in my head for years, and paid out hundreds of dollars for medicines, but have heretofore received only temporary relief. I began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and now my catarrh is nearly cured, the weakness of my body is all gone. My appetite is good—in fact, I feel like another person. Hood’s Sar saparilla is the best medicine I have ever taken, and the only one which did me perma nent good. I cordially recommend it.” A gentleman in Worcester, Mass., who was Cured Of catarrh by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, says: " I would not take any moneyed consideration lor the good one bottle did me.” If you are a sufferer, do not put off taking a simple remedy till your bronchial tubes or lungs are affected, and consumption has gained a hold upon you.

For reasons. I do not deem necessary to dis close, I will by the FIRST DAY OF JANU ARY', 1887, closeout my entire stock of goods consisting of Notions, Glassware and Tinware. In that time 1 give you a chance to decide the all important questio'n : Shall I buy goods uow that I need at half price, or shall I w T ait until after Christmas and pay twice or three times as much? Kind reader you have a head of your own. Nature has been very kind ana endowed you with good reasoning faculties, and you know I have been among you long enough for you to find out that lam no humbug. Ask your neigh bor what they bought at the Ten Cent Store, and if they were humbuged. Now with all or your good reasoning faculties and intellect that nature has so lavishly bestowed upon you grasp the idea that I now wish to present to yon in ah its force and truthfulness. Are you going to tot such chances which do not occur every cay slip by unnoticed? People, look to your in terest, do not let this opportunity pass. Rest assured that no one else will put up here that will be as ready to divide the profit as I have been and am now. The TEN CENT STORE will soon be a thing of the past, and you will think of all this when you have to pay a quarter for an article that I will now sell you for ten cents. Do not put off coming to the TEN CENT STORE until next month, but come now and get first choice. There is no use in my multiply ing words, an unprecedented amount of my cash sales is a sufficient guarantee of the truth fulness of my statement that I sell gooda cheap er than the cheapest. Hoping to have an earlv and repeated visit lo the TEN CENT Si’oßE I will wind up by saying that a word to the wise is sufficient. I remain yours for fair dealing. L. A. DOZIER.
