AKOI'NR THE TOWN.
Notes Gathered Here and There by Our Reporters.
Again we repeat, Advertise!
St. Valentine’s day to-morrow.
The Cartersville accommodation train!
Let’s inaugurate Cartersville as a city.
Dr. Shepherd always has his hands
full.
Nose is red, lips are blue; it is cold, so
are you.
It i- yet too soon for barefoot clubs to
organize.
The'carpenter’s hammer is heard in
the land.
Cartersville should have a few whole
sale houses.
We respectfully ask the Express for that
“blue ribbon.”
At this crisis of the weather the wood
haulers arc in a dilemma.
Encourage your town- merchants by
buying from some “furriner.”
The public square makes an attractive
appearance from the railroad.
(Mir brass band boys continues to im
prove. That is saying a good deal.
Cornelius Willingham, our city editor,
is still confined to his bed by sickness.
Capt. Webster, of Gen. Hardee’s staff',
during the war, was in town a few days,
ago.
As innocent as a millinery sign looks,
there’g no telling what may be under
neath.
All the boys, except Waterman, say
that they are going to attend the press
convention.
If you want to buy dry-goods and gro
ceries cheap, read The Free Press ad
vertisements.
We sigh for the reporter that gave the
startling information that “travel on the
railroad is light.”
We now await for the festive tramp to
emerge trom his winter resort and begin
his march to the north.
• ‘Whenever you find a cleverer salesman
than Hilliard Mounteastle, please send us
word on a p. c., C. O. D.
Nearly every public spirited Carters
ville girl will kindly let her father’s dwel
ling be used as a court house.
We regret to state that Dr. Powers met
with poor success in selling chromps and
steel engravings in Cartersville.
From the number of drummers that vis
its our city, we should think that our.
merchants are driving a staving business.
It is about time for our merchants to
hang out advertisements to the effect that
they :ue selling at “cost arid under cost.”
Ed. Johnson, traveling agent of the
Atlanta Constitution , has been in the city
soliciting subscription for that excellent
paper.
Mrs. Col. Cowlam and family from
Frederick, Md., are at the St. James,
where they will remain for several
months.
Now is the time to commence taking
the lining out of that old overcoat to be
used as a duster for the coming summer
months.
If anybody want to buy a fine horse
and buggy, we will give the desired in
formation, provided this advertisement
is paid for.
The Cartersville Free Press came in
last week and we could see the sharp
point of brother Willingham’s pencil all
over it.— Nevonan New Departure.
There’s no use in a Cartersville boy go
ing abroad to hunt up a case of wedlock
if the boy is all right himself. The girls
are all pretty and smart and don’t “dip
snuff.”
Miss Lillie Young, who has been>
in South Carolina for the past year visit
ing relatives and friends, returned home
on Sunday evening greatly to the gratifi
cation of her friends.
Mrs. DeLaMartyr and daughter, from
Nebraska, are stopping at the gt. James
hotel and will probably make Cartersville
their future home. We extend them a
Cordial welcome.
Anyone who says Charley Willing
ham’s Free Press, Cartersville, is not a
spicy, lively, well gotton up paper is no
j udge of journalism. That’s our verdict.
—Gainesville Southron.
Brother Cunningham says he did not
come to Cartersville to quarrel* If he
had done so, it would have been all the
same, because ours are the most peacea
ble people in the world.
Mrs. C. W. Porter, who has recently
come to our town, the wife of Rev. C. W.’
Porter, the blind minister, desires a class
in English pencil drawing. She desires
to get up classes in the different schools
of the town.
Brother Cunningham thinks there is
bitterness between the independents and
organized democrats. Why, ‘my good
friend, they all mix their sugar and liq
uor together and drink to true democracy.
Brother C. hasn’t tried it, yet.
Mr. James B. Conyers is having his
store room fixed up nicely for Mr. Flow- >
ers, and we have no doubt Mr. Flowers
will have a good stock of goods. This
with a good advertisement in this paper
will greatly improve the town.
Whenever Hudgins erects himself on
one foot in a slant of forty-five degrees,
hangs his flop hat on the right ear and
tickles the other side with his bony digits,
you may know times are dull. Nothing
relieves him so much as sweeping out
the store.
Mr. Henry Burroughs, of Kingston, has
the contract for the wood work in the re
building of Howard’s cement w orks, and
Mr. Lyman A. Chapman, of Cartersville,
will have the brick work laid as smooth
as glass for it. We hope to see these
works in full blast soon.
Those valentines are going with a
rush at Mounteastle’s book store. We
looked in yesterday and their obliging
clerks were as busy as they could be,
waiting on customers. They have a very
fine stock of hooks, stationary, fancy
goods, etc., and are selling them cheap.
Plundering Corporations.
It is strange how rapidly the feeling is
growing in the public mind that it is no
barm to plunder corporations. They are
generally treated as if they are enemies
to the people. For the life of me, I can
not see it so. Railroads are conceded to
be great conveniences and developers of
the country through which they pass.
One man cannot build them or own
them after they are built. It takes a
company, who arc governed by laws,
they are obliged to comply with. We
can ride cheaper on them, and more lux
uriously than we can in any other ve
hicle. We can ship our goods quicker,
and in better condition, than we can by
any other inode of transportation. And
yet men who live along the line of rail
roads, and live there because a railroad
is. handy, and would not live in any
place where there is no railroad, are
taught to believe them “grinding mo
nopolies,” enriching themselves at the
expense of an impoverished people, and
whenever a ease is brought against them
in the courts, the hearts of the jury are
fired so as to injure them as much as
{♦ossicle.
1 have lived for lo these many years
near the W. & A. R. R., and have seen
men who are good citizens, and who
would not cheat their neighbor out of a
dollar, yet would charge this railroad
fifty dollars for a twenty dollar cow. A
horse turned out to graze on cross-ties
umd railroad spikes, and too weak to get
4>ut of the way of an engine, would be
magnified into a Bucephalus; and a
'sharp nose, piney wood hog, into a berk-
Vhire or Chester white, and charged for
accordingly.
During the last term of court, an hon
est, intelligent jury, having their hearts
tired, and their prejudices aroused, by
the impassioned eloquence and consum
mate acting of Gus. Wright, overruled
the charge of the judge, and rendered a
verdict ot $4,500, in favor of one Elliott,
against the W. & A. R. R.
The case stripped of all the rhetoric
with which it was surrounded, is simply,
that Eliott, rather than write his name
on the back of his free pass, or pay three
dollars, preferred to get off at Cass sta
tion and walk to Cartersville; and Gov.
Brown is blamed for appealing from such
a decision! If I were president of the
road, I would exhaust every legal
resource in the state before I would
allow such a precedent to be established,
Suppose any of us farmers gave a seat in
our buggy to a stranger, anil politely ot
ferred to take him home, and after he
got in, he should tell us that if ow
horse ran away and hurt him, he would
t£iie us tor damages; and we, not caring
Wo take the risk for nothing, and not
liking to ride with a mean man, should
order him out, and he should sue us for
turning him out, would he not be
laughed out of court? It is an old saj’-
ing that corporations have no souls. But
let us, fellow-countrymen, remember
that we have accountable intellects, and
are commanded that “whatever ye would
fiaVe men should do to you, do ye even
\o to them.” Justice.
tK c Cornet Band at Rockmart.
By invitation of the ladies of Rockmart
the Cartersville cornet band participated
in an entertainment by the ladies for the
benefit of the Baptist church, of that
place, last Friday night. Going down,
the band discoursed good music to the
people of Stilesboro and Taylorsville du
i ing the stoppage of the train at those
places. Arriving at Rockmart the mem
bers of the band met a hearty reception,
and were immediately assigned quarters
among the citizens, after which they met !
on the public square and gave the town
several pieces of their liveliest music.
After supper they met at the academy
where the entertainment was to take
place, which the band opened with sever
al pieces of music. The entertainment con
sisted of parlor theatrical, and Etheopean
Eccentricities —the former rendered by
amateurs of the tow n, and the latter by j
members of the Cartersville glee club.
The evening entertainment over, the j
band received a special invitation to en
joy an hour or two at the residence of
Mr. Whitehead’s, where they met a good
ly number of laidies and gentlemen in
social enjoyment. After this the band
made a general serenade of the town,
taking only two or three hours sleep du
ring the night, returning home on the
early train.
The members of the band are enthusi
astic over their reception and the gener
ous hospitality of Rockmart, so much so *
that they intend giving a concert there J
in a short w hile.

Rev. W. C. Rutlier.
About one year since there came to
this county a young man from your
county, and entered “Crawford College,”
and the advancement he has made is in
deed praiseworthy. He was called to
the pastorate of “ Duggap church,”
which position lie has honored; and it is
due to him that the church has flourished
and added largely to its membership, and
he w'as called to this charge again, and
also to that of “Hopewell,” in this coun
ty ; but, as there is a larger and more ex
tensive field of labor for this young and
noble divine, he has resigned these
churches and been called to the charge
of the First Baptist church in Dalton.
This young man is Rev. W. C. Luther,
not yet twenty years of age; yet he pos
sesses the intellect and sound logical
reasoning of more aged divines. There
certainly is ahead for this young divine
a bright and glorious future, for such
talent as he possesses seldom goes empty
handed. He is a man of untiring energy
and fervent zeal, aud w’e congratulate
both he and Dalton church upon his ac
cession to the high aud responsible pas
torate to which he has been called; and
from our best imormation he is the
youngest city divine in the state. Bro.
Luther has endeared himself to every
one ‘here, and he is spoken of in the
highest terms as being a man of un
doubted religious character, firm in the
faith and sound and deep on the princi
ples of true religion, and ever ready to
do his “master’s work.” We wish w'e
had more such young men to engage in
this noble work. We wish for our brother
prosperity and happiness.

A New Enterprise.
Messrs. John H. Johns and the Low
man brothers have recently leased the
Baxter warehouse for the purpose of us
ing it as a foundry and machine shop.
They at once w ent to work in earnest and
made the necessary changes in the build
ing and put in their machinery, which
went, into operation this week. They
will cast hollow' ware, mantles, grates,
fronts and all kinds of castings desired.
They will also build stationary and port
able steam engines, saw and grist mills
and all kinds of machinery generally.
They are already crowded with orders
both by letter and telegraph. Their prin
cipal line will be hollow' ware. The es
tablishment will be known as the Car
tersville foundry and machine shops.
These gentlemen are all practical me
chanics and thoroughly industrious and
understand their business. Industrious
and energetic we predict for this new
enterprise great sqeeess. They are the
kind of men who build up the prosperity
of a people.
Plano Tuning and Cane Seating. /
Rev. C. W. Porter, a blind man, de
sires work in the above line. He is lo
cated here for the present, and w ill be
found at the residence of S. J. Franklin.
He will also sell a valuable churn dasher,
invented by a blind man. He gives the
best of references as to piano tuning. It
is hoped all who are willing to aid a
worthy blind man—indeed, two of them
—will give Mr. Porter their patronage.
Papers friendly will please copy this
notice.
“A Bad Nigger."
Please allow' me a little space in your
paper that I may say a few words con
cerning “A Bad Nigger.”
Now this term is used much, and why
is it ? Well, it is, I suppose, because they
are bad. Sometimes they call one un
other by that name, and at other times
they call themselves bad niggers. Now
this is too true to be made a joke of, for
they won’t do to be trusted or depended
upon. Then let me mention some things
in which they prove themselves bad.
They are very bad on the fife and drum,
lor when the drum is heard you can see
the bad nigger, as he calls himself, com
ing from all directions w ith mouth and
eyes all open. He falls into ranks with
out an invitation, in all his filth and dirt.
But there is another aspect in which he
proves his badness: that he may be seen
on the streets at all times, assembled in
crowds in the shade or in the sun, ac
cording to the condition of the weather,
like buzzards on a rail over a carcass of a
dead horse, and at these times you can
hear him cry out, “I am ‘a bad nigger.’ ”
This is not all: Let us go to his house
and see him on a cold day, huddled in
the ashes in filth and dirt from head to
foot, then cast your eyes about his house
and see the rags and broom-straw's and
other things w hich ought to be out on
the manure pile. Now look if you
please, on the top of his house, and see
the cobw'ebs and dirt-daubers’ nests; then
look again at the large holes in the roof
of his house, and you are compelled to
say with him what “a had nigger.”
many noble exceptions;
about such I am not speaking.
But this is not all, Mr. reader, for lie
puts himself into every place he can. W e
find him.in all the churches, and every
other society, not for the good he may do
there, but to tear down and destroy, and
then go away saying, “ I am ‘a had
nigger.’ ”
One more point and we are through
with the “bad nigger.” He delights to
get married, but he doesn’t like to keep
his contract; for he not only fights and
leaves his w ife, but goes away saying,
“I am ‘a bad nigger.’ ”
I write these few lines, not because I
think that other people don’t see the bad
nigger, but because I wish these lines to
fall into the hands of some “bad nigger”
and do him good. Very truly,
. R. Bigiiam.
The Bargain Store. Y
Messrs. M. L. Flowers & Cos. are open
ing a fresh stock of general merchandise,
consisting of dry-goods, groceries, hats,
shoes, hardware, tin; crockery, glass
ware, etc., in which they will offer the
best of bargains. They are a neyv firm
and are determined to sell goods to suit
the times. We take pleasure in recom
mending them to our readers. A call at
their handsome store would w r ell repay
the trouble. See their advertisement.
Beautiful Dentistry.
While on a visit to Dr. F. M. John
son’s office the other day he showed to
us several specimens of his plate-work
of celluloid. This material is now con
sidered superior to either gold or rubber,
both as to durability and naturalness of
color, being of flesh appearance. Dr.
Johnson is doing some splendid work in
dentistry, and we bespeak for him a lib
eral patronage from, the people among
whom he has lived so long.
Our City Park.
One of the best things our city coun
cil did for the improvement of the town
was the planting of shade trees upon the
public square upon each side of the rail
road. In a few' years if these grt>w off
well, the square will present a refreshing
sight during the summer seasons. Then
we hope our little city will adorn the
parks w ith other attractions as w ill be,
pleasing to refined taste. /
Serious Accident. - w
Mr. T. F. Gouldsmith happened to a
serious accident yesterday morning. He
was riding out in a buggy w r hen the
spindle broke and threw him out, dislo
cating a wrist and breaking the arm be
tween the wrist and elbow. We hope
the injuries are not serious.
The Mexican Dollar.
What is the difference between the
Mexican dollar and Tabler’s Buckeye
Pile Ointment? One does what it prom
ises and the other doesn’t. The Mexican
dollar says, “I am one hundred cents;
but when you come to invest it you find
it only eighty-five cents. Tabler’s Buck
eye Pile Ointment says “I w ill cure you
of Piles;” and upon trial it is found to do
so in every case. It makes but one prom
ise—to cure Piles; and does so without
failure. Price 50 cents a bottle. For sale

A Novel Feauture
Presents itself to those who use Dr.
Parker’s Hair Balsam, in the discovery
of its rare and remarkable merits. Many
have written us expressing their delight
in the fact that it works like a charm. Its
disinfectant properties in chemical com

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 aehivements
for which we have reason to feel proud.

twelve different hair preparations and
that Parker’s Hair Balsam surpasses them

THE H. I. KIMBALL HOUSE.
Scoville, Selden & Cos.,
Proprietors,
ATLANTA, : : GJ-EORGH A.
THE KIMBALL HOUSE IS ADMITTED
to be the finest hotel building in the
Southern States, and the equal in interior ele
fance and comfort of any in the whole country!
'lie entire building will be thoroughly com
pleted. and all the rooms will be newly and lux
uriously furnished throughout.
The lessees on their part will spare neither
labor or money in their personal efforts to con
duct the business in such a way as to make
THE KIMBALL HOUSE
worthy of the most liberal patronage. They re
fer to the high reputation of the several hotels
now under their management (the Arlington
and Norvill Houses in Lynchburg, and the Ar
lington, in Danville, Va.) as an evidence of
their ability to carry out their promises in good
faith. With ample means and resources, they
do not hesitate to pledge to the people of Geor
gia especially, as welfas of the whole country,
that
THE KIMBALL HOUSE
will be kept up to so high standard of excellence
as to delight all who may seek pleasure and com
fort under its roof.
The city of Atlanta enjoys well-merited fame
for the liealtlif ulness and salubrity of its climate,
being 1100 feet above sea level; and hence is be
coming both a favorite
Summer anti Winter Resort.
Its splendid elevation fortifies it against the en
croachment of malarial diseases, and exempts it
from the enervating influences peculiar to many
less favored localities. Atlanta has proven in
vulnerable to the visitations of yellow fever and
cholera, and is accepted as a suitable point of
refuge for exiles from districts infected with
those epidemics.

THE FREE PRESS
Will remain the unflinching exponent of the
free ami independent voters and the friends of
political freedom throughout the Seventh Con
gressional District; and will support the great
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy as the
grand bulwark of American liberty.
THE FREE PRESS
Will earnestly advocate these principles (the
octrine of Jeffersoniauism) as the liberal politi
cal tenets that recognize the right of the people
to govern themselves independent of the edicts
of juntas, rings, cliques or combinations, organ
ized under whatever name, to defeat the popular
will for merely partisan purposes, or to advance
the schemes of personal ambition.
THE FREE PRESS
Will be, in a word, what its name imports—an
independent journal—a “sentinel upon the
watch-tower” of public liberty—to warn the
people of all danger to their rights and the
cause of “law and order,” and to thwart all at
tempts by corruption anti intrigue to overthrow
or impair good government.
THE FREE PRESS
Will devote much of its time and space to the de
velopment of the agricultural and mineral re
sources of this section of Cherokee Georgia.—
With this view we invite information from all
reliable sources in regard thereto.
THE FREE PRESS
Will ever be found to be in the interest of the in -
dustrial classes, the mechanical, the agricultur
al, the mercantile, and all who labor, resolved to
do all it can to maintain the rights, the dignity
and the just rewards of honest toil of the strug
gling masses.

Has reached a circulation in less than six months
never heretofore obtained in that time by any
