Wil-J lliam H. Stiles, a popular and prominent! ■citizen of our county was most frightful-* Sly gored by an infuriated bull. He was? ■walking through his yard in the direc-l I ion of some laborers in a field near when* he encountered the bull in his pathway.jl and lightly struck him over the head* with a stick to drive him out of the wayj ind passed on. This instantly put thejj ■hull in a fearful rage and he flew at tliel ■Captain, who, taken by surprise, was, ot| | 'ourse, felled to the ground. After run-4 B.ling back a lew steps the bull made thel ■second plunge and one of his horns en-r jrered Capt. Stiles’ thigh and he wa?| !brown into the air five or six feet. A‘l I'oon as the Captain struck the ground thel ■bull made the third attack, hutting hiim lin the breast. At that moment the farm! |i lands came to the rescue and succeeded* |in driving the brute off. | Capt. Stiles wounds are very ugly, anilf lie has been suffering intense agonies.l ■About eleven o’clock Tuesday night hisl ■pains were eased a great deal. The wouni 1 ■in the thigh is the most serious. Thel "horn entered the inside of the left thighl ■ land tore a frightful gash some seven org ■eight inches, laying bare the Jjone andg ■femoral artery. A piece of flesh from!

As we go to press we| [hear he is resting very quietly and is re-| leeiving the best and most scientific treat-1 fsnent from Dr. F. W.

Cartersville is one ofp j he most flourishing towns on the W. Aft |A. R. R., and was the hub of the red-i shot campaign just closed in the 7th. Tint ! people are still jubilant over the successJ| of their favorite citizen, Dr. Felton. Hep is beloved by everybody nearly in that! section. While many object to the char-p aeler of his candidacy, all admit his mor-P al worth and probity of character. Itrj will be a long time before the effect of|i the late campaign is eradicated. While there we met our genial and clev-p er friend, Cornelius Willingham, win jj was, for some time last spring, connect-! ed with the Eagle, at this place; C.H. C.|- Willingham, the veteran of Georgia jour-p nalism, and editor of The Free Press.p and many other clever and gentlemen. We were hospitably tained by Hans Hargrave, of the St. Jame.-|i who is by the wav one of the Jiest hotelp men in the country. Our people will re-p member him, as lie was for a long timeE with the Messrs. Trammells, in the Rieh-fe tnond house, and will be pleased to learnp of his succes.— Gainesville Georgian. To Delinquent Subscribers. There is quite a number of our patrons|j who are behind in paying up for Tin P Free Press. We have notified them o;£ the fact repeatedly, but without effect.p We have told them we are not able t< | run the credit system. We have to pay % the cash for every thing employed in the g publication of a newspaper, and hence must have money. We have been great ly annoyed by those who neglect to pay | us. They are guilty of great injustice. | If they will not pay now at the end ot ■; the year, they are notable to pay at all. | and we are not able to carry their ac- * counts. We give ali timely notice that jj we must have money at once. Those win t will not respond we shall be compelled to drop them from from our books and publish a list of their names with tliefe amounts each owes. It seems that is the! only way we can reach their consciences.! Cartersville High School. Attention is directed to the advertise- | meat of Prof. Johnston, who will open | the spring term of his school, Jan. 13 18- | 179. The Professor’s school, for the fall | Term just closed, was a good one. At lanta has been trying to secure bis ser-1 vices, and we are glad he has concluded to remain in Cartersville. lie is a fine jjj scholar and an excellent teacher. He de-jj serves the patronage of a discriminating | public, and w e trust his school next term | will be greater than ever. We takepleas-S are, as a patron, in recommendingthe| Professor and his school to the public, pj The Atlanta Constitution. Attention is directed to the advertise- merit of this excellent paper. The Con- 1 istitution is now one of the best news pa-1 i pet sin the South. It is conducted in : | l lively way and is always interest- \ sing.

J.i Weems, one of our best and most hono r - I t led citizens. He had been ill for eighty [weeks and suffered intensely from thel \ lisease that terminated his most exem-l Jplary life. During his illness he had no| [hopes of recovery, and fervently prayed* I that he might find relief in death which* had no terrors for such a good man as lie.i “The funeral services were attended on| I Saturday last by the largest crowd that! had ever assembled at Pine Log chuach.i die was consciious up to within twen-1 ry-four hours of his demise. Mr. Weems was born in Abbeville dis-| | rict, S. C., on the 11th of May, 1807 :| j ind, consequently, was 71 years, 7 months! and 2 days old. He came to this coun-| rv in 1851, where he has lived an honor-1 ed and Christian citizen, beloved by all| ind mistrusted by none. We drop a teari to his memory and revere his virtues. | Death of a “Mother in Israel.” Another landmark of Cartersville hasp lisappeared. A good “mother in Israel”! has departed. Mrs. Harrison, one of thel oldest citizens of our town, died at 9i o’clock Tuesday night after a lingering! illness of five months, which she bore| with great fortitude. She was a good! neighbor, beloved by all who knew her.y Her home was always one of hospitality.! The latch-string of her door always hung| on the outer side. She was a true friend I and a most affectionate mother. Ilei | children loved and honored her in life | and will revere her memory jn death. E Her neighbors will not soon forget her. § She was in the 85th year of her age.; Peace to her ashes? May the turf growl green over her grave. We are in Earnest. There is no denying the fact that times jj are hard now and have been for some! time, financially; but, while this is the case, there are a large number of names \ on our books of persons who are indebt ed to this office for subscription and ad- \ vertising who can certainly pay a portion of what they are due, and thus afford us material assistance. It costs money J ind a good deal of it, to run a newspaper.! md we are now needing some— needingm it badly, Will not those whom we haye| indulged so long come forward and pay| us at least a portion of what the}’ owe :| An Old Fashioned Duel. We learn that two young gentlemen of| Cartersville went out side the corporate! limits of the town to have a regular fail I fisticuff fight. They went alone and| were to fight until the Shakspeareanl ■jaeulation was uttered. We saw one off be combatants on his return and from thel gash in his head, one eye hanging down! on his cheek, his nose turned around toP look at his ear and a molar amputated fin ger, we should judge that lie had been playing see-saw with a kicking thresher. Pc .ind Party. The young people of Euharlee and vic inity will give on Friday night next a ooiind party at the academy at that place. L’he young folks from all the surround ing country, and especially of Carters ville are respectfully invited to come and >ring a pound ot anything except salt or mils. The affair will be recherche and ustain the reputation of the 17th district 'or hospitality. V New Business. Attention is directed to the adve rtise nent of Mr. S. J. Franklin, who has jusi begun business here in the dry-goods anc: rrocery line. He is a most affable and iceommodating gentleman and we eom nend him heartily to the patronage of he public. The Free Press Next Week. According to the usual custom of the ountry press, there will not be a full •beet of this paper next week. We shall jublish a half sheet on Thursday in or !er to meet the wants of advertisers and o publish such local matter as may be ot mportance. In Memoriam. We place this page of our paper in learning for the death of three of our est citizens: Capt. William H. Stiles. Mr. A. J. Weems and Mris.

He is a man|of intellect, perseverance and honesty ind these attributes will win fame any where. The following from the Kansas I City Times will doubtless be perused with Ii peculiar pleasure by his many friends: I Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 3. —The j verdict in the ease of Baker against the I Times has been the universal topic of (conversation to-day, and the Times has Bbeen congratulated on all sides for its vic itory. From a reliable source I learn the (following is the way the jury stood when I the first ballot was taken : One for giv ing $25 damages, five for giving sl, three for giving one cent, and three for giving nothing. It is but justice to say that Col. J. W. Wofford had charge of the lease for the Times, and won a great rep lutation in his management of it. HR ■•jfreech was pronounced by Gov. Hender son and many leading lawyers present Sis one of the finest efforts ever delivered in this city. Col. Wofford was retained yesterday by Mr. Ed Corrigan, to assist Mr. Tarsney in the celebrated Dictator case, which is now on trial. Judge Cra- I veils assisted Col. Wofford as the Times' ittorney, and gave invaluable aid on law point. H. M. Mountcastle & Cos. We are pleased to present the adver tisement of the above new firm which lias purchased the book and stationer} business of Mr. A. C. Snith. The se nior member of the firm is one of the j most reliable young men in Cartersviile. Quiet, modest and unasuming, he has the!: confidence of all who know him. We bespeak for the firm a liberal share of patronage, guaranteeing fair dealing to | ill who patronize them. Next Week is Christmas. Next is Christmas week, a season o merry-making festivities and a jolly time, when the fire-cracker will crack and the [ sand-poppers will pop, and the lamenta-B dons of the fat turkeys resound in the | land.

We are glad to learn that our esteemed | friend, Dr. Baker, will soon open an el- [ egant prescription office in the St. James | hotel, where he will fill all his own pre scriptions and do his own compounding of drugs.

A Novel Feauture Presents itself to those who use Dr. Parker’s Hair Balsam, in the discovery of its rare and remarkable merits. Many jiiave written us expressing their delight iin the fact that it works like a charm. Its disinfectant properties in chemical com bination rendering it healthful, cleansing and healing are bearing fruit, and the ; beautiful hair it produces, with the clean, healthy scalp, entirely freed from dan druff and falling hair, are achivements for which we have reason to feel proud. A patron assures us that he has used twelve different hair preparations and 'that Parker’s Hair Balsam surpasses them all. To hair that has become gray or fad ed, it restores that beautiful natural col or of youth, and produces a vigor and luxuriance that surprises every one.
