A pleasant hop passed off last Friday
night, at the St. James. The occasion
was graced by the presence of Miss Mag
nus, of Atlanta, Miss Elliott, of Home,
and Miss Gordon, of Savffnnah. All the
participants seemed to enjoy themselves
immensely.
Hev. IV. 11. Darnall, pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church at Leb

up train from Atlanta this morning and
will be expected to preach at the Metho

Mr. S. A. Cunningham while here.
We had intended to have a full report
of lie hop last Friday night arid accord
ingly despatched our most graceful danc
ing editor to the scene, but that Terpse
cliorean reporter was so absorbed in the
increased flopping of his ears and the sud
den dimensions of Ids hands and feet that
he is unable to refnemher exactly what
happened.
Our genial young friend from Atlanta,
Percy Sneed, dropped in on us last Tues
day. lie was on his way home from Ca
toosa springs, where he has been sum
mering it. He pronounces the springs
and crowd there a success. He will he
back in Cartersville about the 15th of
September with a full line of suitings for
young men from the well known cloth
ing house of Wanamaker & Brown, of
Philadelphia.
The Glorious Rain.
After weeks of dry weather and when
every body had given up all hope of the
growing crop, we had last Saturday a
line rain. It came down in torrents.
On Sunday morning it rained for several
hours in a regular, steady way, and the
present has been what may he called a
wet week. The conesquence is that corn
is rapidly coming out, and what seemed to
he a hopeless outlook a week ago now
gives assurance that a fair crop will he
made. The farmers have taken on new
courage.
A Narrow Escape.
While Mr. Lewis Lockridge and Miss
I )elia' Briant, a daughter of Mr. George
•I. Briant, of Rome, were out riding last
Monday, the horse became frightened at
a passing train, careened the buggy; pre
cipitating both out, bruising Air. Lock
ridge up pretts' severely, and hurting the
young lady lightly. After throwing
them out the horse ran at a fearful rate,
upsetting a farmer’s wagon, demolishing
Pomp Johnson’s wooden awning, and ti
nally landed the buggy against a tree,
breaking it up considerably. The runa
way created a great deal of excitement.
The Trial of Mr. John T. Burrough.
This, the third week of the July term
of Bartow superior court, has excited in
tense interest. Mr. Burr.mgh has been
upon trial since Monday charged with
the murder of Mr. Joseph Morris, of
Cobb county, at Kingston on the 23rd of
May last. As we go to press (Wednes
day night) the court is engaged in hear
ing the testimony, which has been long
and tedious and may not he concluded
-day. The testimony has been very
strong on both sides and very conflicting.
The attorneys are leaving nothing undone
on either side to carry their point. There
are two indictments against Burrough for
murder, the other for killing Thompson
Morris, the elder brother of Joseph, both
happening at the same time. These ea
ses are so intimately connected that the
result in the one ease must be almost, it
not identical, with the other. AA e shall
make no remarks on the subject, leaving
the matter to he decided by the court.

A New Silver Mine.
Mr. Elliott Moore, living nine miles
south of Cartersville and south of
Allatoona, in this county, has undoubted
ly “struck it” rich, in the shape of a full
born silver mine. The mine is known
as the old “Betty crow cut” on the W.
& A. R. R. and there are three veins in
it, all of which yield a good qualtity of
silver and lead. Air. Moore has placed
three samples of ore on our table which
will yield about $1,500 per ton. This was
discovered about 40 feet from the surface
and second best about $42.50 per ton in
silver and $lB in lead, and the third mine
will yield about fl 2 in silver and S3O in
lead. The three all run in the same vein
about 180 feet, through 55 acres of Air.
Moore’s land. He has leased the proper
ty to Air. P. L. AToon, of our city and a
Mr. McCrosky of New York. The mine
also runs through 80 acres of Air. J. T.
Moor’s land, which he has leased to Mr.
Moon. A practical Nevada miner hap
pened to be in town when Air. Aloore,
brought the samples examined them and
pronounced them the best quality of sil
ver ore that he had seen hi the United
s tates. Wc will have something more to
*ay about the mines in the near future.
Grand Jury Presentments.
We, the grand jury forthesecond week
of the July term, 1870, Bartow superior
court, respectfully submit the following
general presentments:
We have examined the dockets of E.
B. McDaniel, J. P., 810th district, G. AL*
and of B. TV Leake, J. P. of the 851st
district, O. AL, and find them correct.
These dockets were not liefore the jury
of the first week.
We have given much of our attention
to the roads and bridges and concur with
the jury of last week that they are not
creditable to the county. The following
bridges arc very much in need of repair,
\ iz. the bridge over Euharlee creek at
Euharlee mills, that over the same creek
at I- rank Smith’s, that over Pettit’s creek
on the road from Cartersville to Row
land’s ferry, that over the same road from
t artersville to Alilam’s ferry, near the
residence of Air. Andrew Baxter. AA'e
direct the attention of the road commis
sioners of the Cartersvile district to the
condition of the crossing where the Cher
okee railroad crosses the last named road.
In this connection the jury wish to call
attention of the court to the fact that as
a rule overseers are remiss in duty and
that in our opinion road commissioners
are too lenient with them in receiving
roads not worked according to law.
The great annoyance and delay occa
sioned by the running of trains on the
railroad so very near the court house in
duces us to most eornest-ly recommend
tht! county commissioners to take steps
Jx> ascertain the cost of removing the
court house from its present location. We
are impresed with the conviction that con
sidering the loss of time to say nothing of
the annoyance occasioned by the moving
of trains, and the funds which may Be
realized by the sale of tlie present build
ing and lot, anew location might be se
feured, and anew court house put up
with very little, if any increase of taxa
tion. WT* apprehend that no one will
dispute the fact that at least one hour is
lo§t each day our superior court is in ses
sion. Our daily sessions are about an
average of eight hours, the cost of the
court daily is not less than one hundred
dollars. An eighth of the time is a clear
loss. One-eighth ot one hundred dollars
is twelve dollars and fifty cents per day
for each and every court day, that it costs
the tax-payers of Bartow county to keep
the court house where it now is. W T e
have on an average sixty court days du
ring each year, and a loss of twelve dol
lars and fifty cents per day tor sixty days
gives us a total loss of seven hundred and
fifty dollars per annum.
\V r e find by examination of the tax di
gest that great wrong is done to the coun
ty by the very great inequality in return
of value of real estate. Aluch of the land
is returned at figures palpably too low.
This is an evil plain enough to be seen on
the digest hut we are willing to confess
that we can point out no remedy other
t han that the law prescribes.
We tender hearty congratulations to
the people of Bartow county in the fact
that we have during our session found
bills against only one person, and that
fora minor offense.
Deeming it impracticable for our body
to make a thorough investigation of the
various county offices during the week
for which we were empaneled, we have
appointed Col. E. D. Graham to perform
that duty as authorized by sections 3021
and 3922 of the code, and especially to
report whether or not all the books, re
cords, dockets and files are kept in the
manner required by law in the various
officers sf the county, and in case any of
! them are not so kept to report the same,
i and to report the condition of the papers
|of the office of the clerk of the Superior
Wirt as well as list of the cases in which
the papers are not on file, in order that
parties in interest may take notice of the
fact and take such steps as may be neces
sary for their protection. We recommend
that the county commissioners pay him
two dollars and fifty cents per day for
each day he may he engaged in such in
vestigation, provided it does not consume
more than twenty days.
We recommend that the county com
missioners pay Thos. A. Word, clerk su
perior court, fifty dollars for extra ser
vices during the present term of the
court.
We return thanks to his honor, Judge
McOutchen, Col. ITackstt and all officers
of the court for their courtesies to our
our body.
We recommend the publication of these
presentments in the Express and Free
Press, provided they will publish them
at half the usual rates.

Colored Emigration Meeting:.
There was quite a large meeting of the
colored people in this town la!& Satur
day, having been called together for the
purpose of discussing the question of go
ing West. Several speeches were made
in favor of the movement, and it is said
considerable favor for it was created by
the speakers. What will be the result we
cannot now divine. If the colored peo
ple can be certain of bettering their con
dition they cannot he blamed for going.
It is natural for all to seek to better their
conditions; but the colored people would
be wise to look well to what they are
doing, and not allow themselves to be
carried away by a delusion. They
should remember well the condition
of Georgia white people who have
gone to Texas on the wave of amegra
tion tide, who would gladly re
turn to their old homes if they had the
means.

A Fine Artist.
It is a conceded fact that Air. J. S.
Young, of Rome, is the best artist in
north Georgia, AA'hile 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
flect great credit on the artist. His 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. AA'e suppose a
great many of our readers‘will go to
Rome on tfie 4th, and we would advise
all those who need anything in his line
to give him a call. His prices are very
low. june29 4t
Death of an Old Citizen.
One by one the old landmarks, of our
citizenship are disappearing. On the 13th
inst, James Lockridge, of this county
died. He had lived in this county since
1840, where he had been well known and
greatly respected. He was a consistent
member of the Baptist church, having
united with the old Pettitt’s creek church
in 1845, and has been a deacon for thirty
years. The deceased was born in Abbe
ville district, S. C., Jan 1, 1815, and
would have been sixty-five next Jan
uary. AA'e sympathize with his family
and relatives in their sad loss.

Jottings of a Wanderer.
To The Free Press: —Inasmuch as the
spicy and very yopular sheet you edit is
styled “The Free Press,” we shall
claim the honor of giving your gentle
readers a few jottings of a wanderer.
What if I l>e not a citizen of Bartow, is
the “press” not as “free” to an ox-in
habitant of Troup? It the former illus
trated Georgia upon the field the latter
said, “The argument is exhausted, let us
stand by our arms.” AA'e remember, sir,
that you once lived in Troup and that
you made a good “ Reporter” during
those twenty years.
AA'e spent last week at Sonora and anew
made grave at the cemetery was exciting
much curiosity, no one seeming to
know when it was made.
Two very good rains descended during
the week to the joy of every one.
The school there opened with but a
small attendance.
There is but one store and that is doing
a fine trade.
Reverends Hillhouse, Smith and Ta
tum preached at the Presbyterian, Aletli
odist and Baptist churches respectively.
AA'e met here with Dr. AI. J. Dudley,
ex-representive of Gordon county \Vho
is doing a large practice. He is one of
the most agreeable gentlemen we ever
met with and has a pleasant family.
From Sonora we made our way to the
poor house in Bartow county, a place cotr
genial to our feelings. However, I fear
to say as much in praise of these well
kept premises under the excellent man-,
agement of Air. AV'. J. Collins, as we feel
they deserve for fear of a rusl AA'hat,
sir, if I tell your readers of the main
building so cozily kept by Airs. Collins
and of its occupants (one of whom I am
which) of a long row of framed build
ings one-fourth of a mile to the rear all
nicely painted and well kept anil the
paupers all looking happy. And pray,
why should they not be, with nothing to
do but to look out t hrough tluf glass win
dows, or rest under the shade of the
tree?, or sip cooling draughts from the
delightful springs that break forth from
these hillsides. If they are sick
the superintendent, gives them every at
tention. By the nicely kept book of Air,
C., I discover they have issued them
meal, flour, bacon, peas, lard, coffee, su
gar, syrup, soda, pepper, tobacco, cloth,
etc. The average of inmates seems to be
fifteen, and their names are as follows:
AVilliam Rice, Elizabeth Bagwell, Edith
Emeline Patterson, Eliza Lusk, Ada
Lusk, Alice Coffer, George Logan (col’d)
Cela Logan, (col’d), Alargaret Johnson,
(col’d), John Johnson, (col’d) Cumphrcy
Hardin, (col’d).
The amounts we notice have been re
ceived by AA'm. J. Collins from January
Ist to July Ist, 1879, aggregating $557.03.
He is entitled to a credit of $98.40.
Amount on hand July Ist, $460.63.
AA'e deem this a good showing, at least
quite a reduction of former expenses of
this institution. VA'e note with pleasure,
a nice chapel upon the grounds and a
flourishine writing school in progress

from your city and vicinity.

Recipes for Making and Killing Towns.
Floating around among the mass of
good things, now-a-days to be found in
the Sunday supplements of the great eas
tern papers, are the following recipes,
the one for making a live town, the other
for killing a town. This is the one for
making a live town, of which we hope
the citizens of Cartersville will profit by:
1. Sell your building lots at reasonable
prices.
2. If you can afford to do so donate a
building lot for some large business en
terprise, and thereby enhance the value
of town property.
3. Induce business men to locate in
your own town.
4. Patronize the business men of your
own town.
5. Sum up your expenses when you
visit places outside of your own town to
buy goods.
t>. Speak well of worthy public enter
prise.
7. If anything should be undertaken
that be of benefit to the town do not speak
ill of it to others because you happen
to prejudiced against it.
8. Speak well to strangers of your town
and its people.
9. If you have a surplus of money do
not invest it in far-off speculations, but
give yourself and your town the benefit
of it by establishing some profitable
factory.
10. Encourage your local newspaper
by subscribing for, advertising in and
paying for it.
If the above receipts should be adhered
to strictly the town is sure to oe lively
and prosperous. Following is how to kill a
town:
1. Put up no more buildings than you
can occupy yourself.
2. If you should have an empty build
ing to rent, demand three times its value.
3. liOok sorrowful; he little, and insult
every new comer; give the cold shoulder
to, and underrate every mechanic and
professional who desires to come
among you.
4. Go abroad for your goods and wares.
By no means purchase from your own
merchants and manufaetoris, even at the
same price or less.
5. Finally, give a thorough finish to
your work by working against your local
paper. Be mean to everybody connect
ed with it; refuse to subscribe to or ad
vertise in it, so that persons living at a
distance will not know that any business
is done in your town, or they may want
to come and settle among you, or buy
something from you and that would
give you trouble.
Go by this last receipt and the town is
sure to be killed.
