Adairsviile News.
Dry—hot and dry.
Our literary club picniced at Bowdoiu’.->
spring on the 24th, and the affair was
pleasantly enjoyed by all those in atten
dance. There will be another at the
same place soon, when we hope to see
the editor of The Free Press enjoy the
hospitality and good things the ladies
will have on the occasion. Our club
gave a theatrical performance at th •
academy on the 27th that was very good,
all acting their parts well.
The closing exercises of the Adairs
ville high school came off last week.
The examination on Thursday was very
thorough, showing that Prof. Marsha 1
is one of the best instructors in the state.
The attendance on Thursday by our ci
tizens was not as good as it should have
been, but enough were there to see that
it was a good day for our school. We
would like to give you a list of those
who received first honors in each class,
but for want of space, will only men
tion one class in mathematics, which
Prof. 31. seemed to be very proud of:
Misses Katie Hargis, Emma Johnson,
Lee Dickson, Maggie Anderson, Minnie
Jackson and Henry Johnson all stood
their examination well. Friday nigl t
was devoted to reading essays, recita
tions and declamations. By five o’clock
the people were coming in from the sur
rounding country in such crowds that a
stranger would have asked wilt is to he
done that is drawing this great crowd ?
Nothing only Prof. Marshall’s exhibi
tion—not a camp meeting as you might
have supposed. Suffice to sa} r all could
not get in the academy, and many had to
return home without seeing the show.
The classes of our school show' that v. r e
have establish a permanent institution of
learning, and its benefits will be appre
ciated by <wr ttfwn tw*d i&uaatw'* N.
Wof. .Marshall'* School at Adairsville.
It being generally known that the an
nual exercises of Prof. Marshall’s school
would take place on last Friday evening,
and Prof. 31. being extensively known,
and not less famous than his exhibitions,
the people began thronging to* the acad
emy at an early hour, and long before
the time appointed for the opening of
the exercises, every seat, window and
door was thickly peopled. The stage
was profusely decorated, and the many
scholars seated thereon, decked in misty
white robes, formed the completion of a
lairy-like scene. While our eyes rested
fora moment in admiration of this scene,
3liss 3lagg*e Anderson, the well-chosen
young iady to deliver the salutatory, ad
vanced to the front, and addressed the
audience in a manner which reflected
credit on herself and teacher; after which
followed recitations by the little folks, all
of whom acquitted themselves most cred
itably, and we would like to mention
every one of them, hut time forbids.
Among the most noticeable ones, was
Henry 3larshall, a little boy of probably
five years, entitled, “The Young Ora
tor,” which was so well delivered that
an enthutiastic audience loudly encored
Master Henry, and showers of bouquets
covered the stage. A beautifbl recita
tion was given by little Mamie Felker,
entitled “The Inquiry.” Aleck Ripley
“brought dowh the house” in relating an
instance of “Woman’s Rights.” and
Jimrn'e Wood, on the other side, in an
animate style, showed forth the virtues of
“A Sewing 3lachine” that could do its
own talking as well as singing. Master
George Gash amused the audience by
telling them of “31 y Fathers Colt.”
Wiilie Hilburn, a very little 3liss,
furnished some music which was well
timed and sweet, and afterwards, Willie,
together with 3lay Anderson, and Clara
Trimble let their childish voices flow in
sweet harmonic tones in the “Sevvanee
River.” The declamation by 3laster
Henry Veacli did not fail'to be univer
sally admired; the subject being “The
Existance of God.” Pointing to the
sublime works before us which was
wrought by no mortal hands; who
could doubt the beautiful theme of this
school-room oration. The style in which
this was rendered would have done
credit to one of more years than Henry.
Another was by Joe Bovvdoin, entitled
the “Gambler’s Wife,” into which the
little fellow seemed to throw his entire
thoughts, displaying considerable his
tironic talent. As he closed the audience,
which had been so still that no voice
was heard save that of the speaker, now
burst forth in louud applause, and flow
ers fell abundantly at his feet. Immedi
ately after this a class of little girls and
hoys sang “Father, Come Home!” with
an organ accompaniment from 3liss Kate
Hargis, and a soft, sweet refrain behind
the scene by 3liss Lee Dickson. Then fol
lowed the recitations, declamations and
essays by the larger members of the
school. Among the declaimers, whom
we remember were as follows: Samuel
Clore, Berry Lumpkin, Samuel Pharris,
Albert Anderson, James Shaw, Henry
Johnson and Bethel Tatum, all of whom
acquitted themselves with considerable
credit. “Conquered at Last,” was the
title of an exquisite recitation by 3liss
Annie Veach, which fell on the ears ot
the attentive'listeners clear and distinctly.
“Hope,” with its rainbow hues was beau
tifully described in an essay by 3liss
Lee Dickson. After which the cleai
ringing voice of Miss 31 aggie Anderson
was again heard in “Curfew shall not
Sing To-night.” 3lusie was furnished
during the evening by 3lisses Wood,
Hargis, Dickson, Veach, Johnson and
others.
The valedictory was read by 3liss
Kate Hargis, who in the most pathetic
words bade her teacher and companions
an affectionate farewell. The school
could not have made a better selection, oi
found one more suitable to perform this
mission.
There was quite an abundant supph
of flowers on hand, and each and every
scholar received a share of the floral to
kens of appreciation.
Prof. Marshall has been among us for
some time, and the huge audience attes
ted to the interest manifested in hi
school. This school is to open again ii
July, and judging from the large num
ber of scholars with which it closed, we
would say it will be very full next term.
Prof. 31. deserves a large amount of
credit for his untiring energies in oui
midst. T.
The Wheat Crop in Bartow.
We have taken pains to make exten
sive enquiry among the farmers of thi*
county \vfthin the past week, as to the
wheat prospect of this county, and the
almost unanimous report is to the effec
that the wheat crop generally is better
than it has been since the war. The
stalk is tall and the heads are large and
full and the stands good Complaints
are so few that they amount to nothing
in making up the outlook. There is noth
ing to fear except rust, and we have heard
of little of that, and it is as yet confined
to the blade. Harvesting has already
commenced with some of our farmers,
and by the 10th of June w*e shall be in
the midst of it. May our farmers reap
a rich and plentiful harvest.
The Bartow House.
Upon our arrival at Cartersville we
were met by a delegation of citizens and
assigned to homes among the people and
at the hotels. We were sent to the Bar
tow house, owned by Mr. Sumnei', and
will here take occasion to thank the pr -
prietor for his courteous treatment. The
table was well supplied with the nicest
prepared viands,* including an abundance
of fine fish,in which their streams abound.

A Model Farmer.
It was our pleasure last Saturday, in
company with Mr. D. W. K. Peacock, to
spend the afternoon at the home and up
on the farm of Mr. M. L. Pritchett, three
.niles from the city,on the Etowah river.
We have heard much of Mr. Pritchett as
a model farmer, but have never before
visited him. Ilis farm is all either river
bottom or table lands, fertile and lying
well. These are cultivated to the high
est state. Everything is conducted with
great order and perfect system. Nothing
is of too small importance for diligent
attention. His barns, stables and cattle
stalls are constructed for convenience
and economy. He uses the latest im
provements in agricultural implements.
Ilis stock are all kept in fine condition.
Mr. Pritchett has the prettiest crop of
one hundred acres of wheat we have eve r
seen. The stalk is healthy and the head
full, and stands as thick as the best land
will sustain, and w ill make a magnificent
crop of the golden grain. He has about
one hundred and twenty acres in eotten
with a good stand and in a good condi
tion. Seventy acres will cover his corn
crop, whieh also looks w ell and thor
oughly clean.
Such farmers as Mr. Pritchett are a cred
it to the county, and we have a number
of them. We mention Arthur Davis,
James Gilreath, Jno. and Turn Leake, G.
M. Jones, Bob Rogers, old Jack Haney
and others w hose names we could men
tion. All of these gentlemen are pros
perous. They “live at home and boa and
at the same place,” and their
hang on the outside of their doors.

thought that Lewis is a direct lineal de
scendant of Lord Chesterfield and has
many of his ways. Mr. Emmet Ford, a
most obliging salesman, is also connected
with the establishment. When you visit

from place to place with the aid of a

With a view of insuring absolute se
curity for all deposits left with us, we
have purchased a large safe with Hall’s
double time lock attachment. While it is
absolutely impossible to open, excep';
during the hours when it is desirable to
open the safe, the safe is fire-proof and
burglar-proof. Accounts of merchants
and others who desire a safe place for
their money, invited.

Coussens’ Compound Honey of Tar
has been so long and favorably known
that it needs no encomium. For coughs,
colds, sore throats, hoarseness, etc., it
affords speedy relief, and is a most pleas
ant and efficacious remedy—honey and
tar being two of its ingredients. The
skill of the chemist, and the knowledge
of a physician were united in its prepar
ation, the result being a compound which
is the favorite remedy in this severe cli
mate, and has no equal as a cure for
coughs, colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,
croup, etc. Use Coussens’ Honey of
Tar. Price 50 cents. For sale by D. W.
Curry.

The Mexican Dollar.
What is the difference between the j
Mexican dollar arid 'fabler’s Buckeye j
Pile Ointment ? One does what it prom- i
ises and the other doesn’t. The Mexican *
dollar says, “ I anyone hundred cents,” j
but when you come to invest it you find |
it is only eighty-five, 'fabler’s Bucket e
Pile Ointment says, “I will cure vqu of j
Piles;” and upon trial it is found to io
so in every ease. It makes but one prom- j
ise—to cure Piles; and does so without j
failure. Price 50 cents a bottle. For j
sale by D. W. Currv.

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 Jeffersouianism) as the liberal pol iti
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 thw art all at
tempts by corruption and intrigue to overt hrov
or impair good government.

velopment of the agricultural and ipineral 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, tlje mechanical, the agricultur
al, the mercantile, and all w T ho labor, resolved t->
do all it can to maintain the rights, the dignity
and the just rewards of honest toil of the strug
gling masses.
