I'srtersville, tJcorgia, June 26, 1879.
PUBLISHER’S SPECIAL NOTICE.
There is a large number of persons indebted
to THE Free Press for subscription and adver
tising. Some have been taking the paper ever
niiice it was commenced and have not paid one
cent for it. Many have promised to pay up at
harvest time. Now, we have to say that we are
very pressed for money to pay what we owe to
parties who have favored us, and we want every
rent due us within the next twenty days.
It has been a severe and constant struggle to
keep the pai>er in existence. We have waited
patiently for our friends to come to our rescue;
and, now, will they fulfill their promises and ob
ligations to us? It requires a constant outlay of
cash money to publish a newspaper. We cannot
afford, and will not semi the paper to any one
longer than a year on a credit.
The first year of The Free Press will expire
on the 18thof July, 1879, and we hope all wilj
come forward, settle up for the past and renew
with the cash.
Those owing for advertising must settle. We
have waited on some of them too long already.
WE NEED THE MONEY.

Mr. <l. TV. Davis Crushed to Dentil.
Our community was shocked Monday
when the morning passenger train ar
lived here with the remains of a young
man raised in this county, the son of Mr.
Joseph Davis, living in Stamp creek dis
trict. It appears that the deceased has
been employed by the Keystone bridge
company on the Cincinnati southern rail
road for several months. He was in Chat
tanooga on Sunday with friends and left
there to return to his place of employ
ment. The Chattanooga Times in its ac
count of the disaster, says that, about 8
o’clock Sunday morning a very serious
accident occurred at Cave Spring, on the
Cincinnati southern railroad, which re
sulted in the killing of two men, fatally
injuring a third and seriously hurting
three others. Col. Neely went up the
road with a few friends, his main busi
ness being to take out money to pay off
the laborers.
Col. Neely and his friends were on the
engine, as there were no passenger cars
attached, and were consequently made
unwilling witnesses to the unfortunate
accident. Just after the engine had left
Boyce station, several men, laborers on
the road, were observed on the pilot, and
as it is positively against orders to ride
there, the engineer and Col. Neely order
ed them off. They did not get off, how
ever, and just before they reached Cave
Spring; the engineer shut off the steam
for the purpose of coupling some flat
cars, which were standing on the main
track at the rock crusher. The engine
commenced slipping on the track which
was wet and slippery when within a few
yards of the flat car. The fireman had
run out on the running board of the en
gine to make the coupling. He saw the
men on the pilot and told them to get out
of the way. The engine continued to
slip, and the engineer reversed the lever
and opened the sand pipe, which, how
ever did not stop it and he opened the
valyes and put on steam. As this time
the engine was within a few feet of the
flat car and the men on the pilot began to
see their peril and endeavored to escape,
but before the) r could do so the engine
had struck the car, and slided up on the
pilot, “telescoping” it, thus pinioning
one of the men to the head of the boiler,
which killed him instantly. Ilis name
was Jerry Roberts, a negro who lived at
Marietta, Ga. A white man, named Geo.
W. Davis, who lived near Cartersville,
Ga., was so badly injured about the head
and chest that he only lived five hours.
Another white man named J. L. Gregg,
who lived near the place of the accident,
is so badly bruised about the chest and
abdomen, that it is believed he will die
soon. Geo. McDonald, who lives at Bos
ton, Mass., was also on the pilot and re
ceived some very serious injuries, though
not necessarily fatal. Several messen
gers were immediately dispatched for
medical aid, and very soon two physi
cians were on the spot, and rendered all
the aid they could for the relief of the
wounded.
The Times says the railroad manage
ment very deeply regret this accident, as
they hoped to complete the road without
any serious accident. "Every one seems
to entirely exonerate the road from any
blame.
Mr. Davis was about twenty-five years
old. Ilis remains were carried home on
Monday.
The Saratoga of the South.
The Catoosa springs, as a watering
place and summer resort, is the center of
gravitation in Georgia. We knew Wrenn
would make them so. The grand inau
gural ball, on Tuesday night, a corres
pondent informs us, was an elegant aflair
and a big success, and lie writes us that
it was the finest springs hall he ever at
tended in Georgia or the south. There
were about 150 present, including belles
from Macon and Atlanta and some ot the
best families in the south. The directors
or lessees ot the*State road arrived and
were handsomely received, and declared
themselves much pleased. Two fine
bands are engaged for the season and
furnish excellent; music. A large party
arrived from Atlanta in time to attend
the ball.
The Catoosa springs this season will be
the Saratoga of the south, and are already
only equalled by the Green Briar of A ir
ginia. Accommodations for four hun
dred guests are made. Among the prom
inent already there are Gov. Brown and
family; Col. Nutting and family, Gen.
Holt and family, Col. Johnston and fam
ily and Mr. Saulsbury, Misses Tracey,
Johnson, Nutting and Holmes, of Ma
con ; Col. Morrill, Misses Law, Freeman,
Peters, Force, Mrs. and Miss Fitzsim
mons, Mrs. Douglass, Mrs. Powers, Mrs.
Edgar Thompson and Terry Towns, of
Atlanta.
A brilliant season is already assured at
the Catoosa.
A Fine Artist.
It is a conceded fact that Mr. J. S.
Young, of Rome, is the best artist in
north Georgia, While in that city a few
days ago we had the pleasure of looking
through his studio, in the Shorter block.
Ills crayons are simply elegant, and re
llect great credit on the artist. His pho
tograph specimens are also very line,
being one of the largest and finest we
have ever seen. He takes great pleasure
in showing visitors his specimens, which
he is justly proud of. We suppose a
great many of our readers will go to
Rome on the 4th, and we would advise
all those who need anything in his line
to give him a call, llis prices are very
low. junc'29 4t
Rush of Wheat to Market.
Our farmers arc pushing their wheat
to market very rapidly. Over four thous
and bushels were sold here on Saturday
last, and thirteen cars were loaded with
the golden grain on that day. Our wor

business man and a rapid shipper. I p
to the time of going to press 10,000 bush
els of new wheat has been sold in this
market. t

Services at the Episcopal church Sun
day morning and afternoon.
Rev. Mr. Headden preached a very
fine sermon last Sabbath at the Baptist
church to a large and appreciative au
dience. Mr. Headden is a faithful ser
vant of the church and a most zealous
worker in the interests of Christianity.
Rev. Mr. Ryburn preached a short but
impressive sermon at the Methodist
church last Sabbath evening. If we
could only remember in this life our ob
ligations to God and our fellow-men as
vividly and continuously as we shall
remember opportunities neglected and
blessings despised, in the life to come,
how much happier men and. women
would be now and forever.
Rev. T. E. Smith, of Cartersville,
preached morning and evening on Sun
day last in the Presbyterian church in
this city, to good ancl attentive congrega
tions. Ilis sermons were able and earnest
expositions of the way ot salvation, ac
companied by solemn appeals to his hear
ers to avail themselves of the offer of free
and unmerited mercy contained in the
gospel. The pastors of the Methodist
and Baptist churches held no night ser
vices, but came, with a portion of their
congregations, to worship with their
Presbyterian brethren —a courtesy which
was properly appreciated by the latter. —

“Bill Arp” at tlie Opera House.
On Tuesday night next, Major Smith
will deliver his popular lecture on
“Southern Society,” at the opera house,
for the benefit of the Cassville ladies’ me
morial association. The association owes
about fifty dollars upon the confederate
monument, and as Cartersville has no
such care on her hands, we hope Major
Smith will be greeted by a full house.
Our citizens will not only hnve the op
portunity of enjoying a highly intel

intellectual enjoyment and love for the
memory of those who bravely died in the
“lost cause.”
The Blumlors of Printers.
In spite of the greatest care blunders
are made in printing offices. When it is
remembered how many type have to be
set up in a paper, often from bad manu
script, the wonder is that more blunders
do not appear. Last week an advertise
ment appeared in our paper of a colored
school on the Rowland farm. The name
of one of the trustees was printed “G. W.
Satterfield” when it* should have been
“G. W. Satterwhite.” But these errors
will occur in spite of the greatest care,
but they are very annoying, neverthe
less.
