ri'RLISHKIt'S SPECIAL NOTICE.
There is a large number of persons indebted
to The Frkk Press for subscription and adver- i
Using. Some have been taking the paper ever
since it was commenced and have not paid one
cent for it. >lany have promised to pay up at
harvest, time. Now, wo have to say that we are
V c crossed for money to pay what we owe to
parties who have favored us, and we want, every
cent due ns w ithin the next twenty days.
It has been a severe and constant struggle to
keep the paper in existence. We have waited
patiently for our friends to come to our rescue; j
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 18th of July, 1879, and we hope all will
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.

Well! well! Mr. Israel T. Davis went

When the senior editor of of The Free
Press so mischievously asserted that
there were more brains in Cartersville at
the press convention than ever before,
had to retract when it was made known
to him that a fdrove of hogsjhad been
there.
It was our good fortune to be in at
tendance at the Sabbath-school celebra
tion at Euharlee on last Saturday. The
attendance, although it being a very busy
time with the farmers, was fine. Tiie
exercises of the day were opened by sev
eral beautiful and select pieces, being
sang by the scholars, which was follow
ed by a very able, well-timed and appro
priate lecture by Rev. Theo. E. Smith.
Rev. Mr. Newell also delivered a brief
lecture, which was well received. When
tiie hour for dinner arrived the entire as
sembly repaired to the wide-spreading
grove near the academy, where large and
extended tables, loaded with all the
luxuries of life, awaited them. The af
ternoon was pleasantly spent by both old
and young. The latter were engaged
the greater portion of the evening in
games of amusement of their own selec
tion, while the former gathered about in
groups for social chat. Miss Julia Tum
lin favored quite a number of the young
ladies and gents with some of her very
excellent music on the organ. Miss Ju
lia has but few equals as a musician.
The occasion was in every sense of the
word a success, and reflects great credit
on the part of Mr. T. A. Rogers and
wife, J. J. Calhoun and others for their
untiring efforts to make it such.

Obituary.
Mrs. Mary K. Everedge died at the
residence of her husband, Mr. William
Everedge, near Stilesboro, Bartow coun
ty, Ga., at twenty minutes past twelve
o’clock, on the 25th of June. Mrs. Ev
eredge was born in the state of North
Carolina, on the 18th of August, 1826,
but for the last twenty-five years of her
life lias resided in this state. She was
very highly esteemed by her many friends
for her womanly character and many
Christian virtues. She attached herself
to the Baptist church at the age of twen
ty years, and has ever since adorned the
blessed truth of Christian religion by a
pious walk and godly conversation. Lib
eral and kind to every one almost to a
fault, and in her last dying moments gave
strong and unmistakable evidences of her
implicit confidence and faith in the saving
efficacy of the blood of the blessed Re
deemer, and claimed him as her resur
rection and her life, and by the exercise
of that faith in Jesus. Though she is
dead yet will she live. Dear husband,
children, sister and brother, ween not as
those who have no hope, for your loss is
her eternal gain. J. C. S.

idence of the bride’s mother, on Wednes

R. B. Headden, Mr. Geo. H. Headden,
to Miss Fannie Galt. The happy couple
left for their home in Cassville, Bartow
county, the follow morning. We wish
for them long life, prosperity, peace and
unwonted happiness.
Gone tq Iter Rest.
Mrs. William Everedge, of the seven
teenth district, after a most painful ill
ness of six months, died last week, leav
ing a large family to mourn her loss.
She was a devoted mother, and she was
attended by the most devoted love
throughout her sickness. Green grow
the turf over her grave!
A Splendid Organ to Raffle.
We have been advertising for several
weeks a splendid White & Wilcox organ
to raffle, the price of which is $200.00.
We propose to raffle it at $2.00 a chance
with only sixty chances, putting the
price of the organ down thereby at $120.-
00. It is a splendid instrument and can
lx* seen at the postoffice. That it is what
it is represented to be. we copy the fol
lowing extracts:
From Prof. It. M. Mclntosh, profes
sor of music at Emory college: “Se id
us White and Wilcox organ, style 100,
for our commencement. I think that
the best of all reed organs for family.
Never saw the equal to it, etc.”
From Prof. Schceller, Dalton female
college: “It is the best I ever tried.”
From Prof G. C. Looney, Jonesboro:
“All seemed well pleased in selecting
the ffliite & Wilcox organ in preference
to , and I think we were very for
tunate in forming an acquaintanceship
with the White & Wilcox organ before
purchasing elsewhere. ’ 1
If any one desires a good organ at all
they can have a chance to try their luck
with two dollars by applying at the book
store of W. 11. Wikle & Cos. The in
strument is guaranteed to be all what is
claimed for it. Call atWikle’s and take
a chance before it is too late. Only
a few left.
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.
His crayons are simply elegant, and re
llect great credit on the artist. Ilis pho
tograph specimens are also very fine,
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 w'ould advise
all those who need anything in his line
to give him a call. His prices are very
low. june29 4t

Now to the delight and -urprise of thousands of farmers comes that king of agricultural impleiicrt
for renovating and pulverizing the soil.
This harrow cuts the clods and sods deeper and liner, and does more execution on the soil in har
rowing the ground once than any other harrow’ can do by going over it twice. It covers ed> and
grain better as it thoroughly stirs, levels and smooths the ground. Is a perfect renovator, grass,
weed and snake killer, it has the cotton chopper or sweep wings which adopt the harrow to use a
a cultivator. The cotton chopper is a perfect working implement, and saves the-labor of at lea.-I s
hands in one day’s use, as one horse and hand chop from 12 to 15 acres a day.
Orders will be Ulled at short notice for harrow and cotton chopper at resonuble price.-:,

Catting- and Smoothing- Harrow,
YND COTTON CHOPPER.
(Patented June 19, 1879.)
This harrow has from 32 to 64 sharp
steel sword teeth in such ingenious
shape that in stirring the soil each is
cutting within two inches of the other.
Tlxis harrow is very light, well made,
si rung and complete, and can be easily
.operated by one pair of horses, and i'
so light draft that the driver may ride.
The incline of llie teeth makes it light
running, as it does not choke with stalks
anil weeds, or hitch it roots and stumps
