The Etowah Bridge. In company with our young friend, Air. John Anderson, last Friday evening, we visited the new railroad bridge across the Etowah river, built by Wilkins, Post & Cos., of New York, under the superin tendence of Air. J. H. Kosseau. The bridge is six hundred feet long; and, while the structure of wrought iron seems to be very sk nder, the trains do not “slack np” in passing it. Standing beneath the bridge its altitude makes one’s head swim to look up at it. There is no wood in the construction of this bridge except the cross-ties. It is of the •Pratt patent, and is said to be superior to any railroad bridge known. The com pany is now building one across the Chattahoochee river, of the same length. The bridges cost about twenty thousand dollars each. # -> Death of an Accomplished l ounsr laid} - . We hear this week the melancholy an nouncement of the death of Aiks Laura Eugenia Pope, of ’Washington, Wilkes county, Ga., a daughter of Wm. A. Pope, ati(fgrand daughter of our beloved fel low-citizen, Alaj. Mark A. Cooper. n ‘‘ bereavement is a very sad one. Miss Pope had just completed her college days, was a young lady uncommonly gifted and lovely both in charocter and person . She had expected making a visit to Maj. Cooper’s this summer, but an attack ol fever prevented. She died at hei father s in Washington, Wednesday morning, the 10th insfc. Surely Heaven gathers choice treasures within its garners. ♦ Supreme Court Decisions. The Atlanta Dispatch will publish gre ularly the Decisions of the Supreme court. In order to get full Reports subscriptions should be sent at once. Price. 0.00 a year. Kingston Kindlings. An overcoat feels very comfortable these mornings. Our farmers, as usual, are disappointed in their cottoft crop. Tlie ruM is injuring it very materially. Some man who wants to buy cotton should come here. The fleecy staple is now rolling into , our town from all pans of the county. Tlie last melon of the season is now being left alone, from fear. We have just attended an interesting meeting at Morrison’s camp ground, where, tojour glad surprise, we found 3lrs. Price and family tenting. John Akin lias ceased to be Lrc-one l to Kingston, as the rose now- blooms at Rowland springs. Miss Annie Pace, of Covington, is vis iting Prof. Lin’s family. Col. Eratus V. Johnson has returned from Kansas City, where he has been for several months pat. His many friends welcome his return. Miss Katie Roper is visiting Dr. 31 ay- family. Our Sabbath school is not so largely attended as w e should like to sec. We hope to see more of the parents out on next Sabbath. Our friend, J. X. Whitehead,has moved to Rome. Gen. P. M. B. Young's smiling face is occasionally seen around our town. Come often, General. Mr. E. B. Julio, of A"ew Orleans, died at 31aj, Waring’s Monday evening. He was boarding there and admired the place so much, requested that it should bo his final resting place. The editor of The Free Press does not visit us as often as we would like. Cotton is now coining in and money will soon be more plentiful, when all de linquent subscribers will pay for the pa per they like so well. Tim, “Bloods," Take Notice. Young men, remember that next Tues day (23d) is the day that that prince of good fellows, Percy Sneed, will be here with a full line of Wanamnker <6 Brown's, dress goods. Be sure and give him an order and our word for it you will be pleased with the prices and quality of the goods. The goods will arrive fifteen days after'they are ordered, and if they do not fit your money will be refunded. He will have on hand also a fine assort ment of different styles of shirts, collars, cuffs, cravats, neckties, hosiery, handker chiefs, and fancy jewelry, and in fact ev erything necessary to make a lirst-class “mash” with. While here 3lr. Sneed will stop at the St. James, where wc would advise all our young men to go and look at his samples. City Weigher. In view of the large amount of cotton that is expected this season, ihe city council has passed an ordinance provid ing for a weigher of cotton for this mar ket and elected 31 r. T. W. Simpson to till that office. We know of no gentleman who could give better satisfaction in the position. Strictly honest in all his deal ings, our planters may rest assured of full satisfaction. The council has ordered the necessary scales which are now daily expected, after which we hope to hear no more complaint about weight in cot ton. Since the foregoing was in type, the scales (Fairbank’s) has been receiv ed and, with 3lr. Simpson as weigher, there can be no complaint about weights in cotton by our farmers. A Suggestion to Our City Fathers. AVe have in Cartersville a beautiful little opera house belonging to the city. While other southern cities are expecting a gay time this winter, there is not a sin gle troup billed for Cartersville. AVe ask our city council if it wouldn’t be better tor them to secure some suitable person to take charge of the opera house, paying him so much for every time it is engaged. It would be the duty of that person to correspond with troupes inviting them to come here. As it is paid for by the tax payers, we think they should derive some pleasure from it. AV r e hope our city fath ers will look into this matter. A Pleasant Visit. Air. J. J. Calhoun and family, of the seventeenth district, after an absence of one month returned home last Saturday evening. During all their trip they had not a single accident or sickness of any kind. Mr. C. says he never had a more pleasant trip in his life. AVhen he struck Old Oglethorpe county he says he met the most unbounded hospitality. AA"e know something of that old county. Tt is the land of our ancestry and the home pf hospitality and good cheer. AVe con gratulate Air. Calhoun and family on their safe return home from so pleasant a visit to the grand old “Palmetto state.” J., the B. P. AVe had a visit, last evening from Mr. Geo. Johnston, Atlanta’s great bill poster, who is doing the state road in sections for the north Georgia fair, which meets Oct. 20tli. Secretary AVrenn could not have selected a better nor more industrious representative of his great industrial ex position than Air. J. and we warrant the assertion that .when he gets through ev t y man, woman and child on the road will know when, where and how the fair ’.'•ill ho held and conducted. Legal Advertisements. (01 jet, administrators, executors and guar dians remember that they are legally at liberty to publish their notices to debt ors and creditors and sales in The Free Press if they desire to do so. There is no law to prevent it; and as this paper has by far the largest circulation in the county, it is to their interest and their duty to do so. Anderson Bros.' New Livery Stable. This stable, advertised in another col umn, is growing very popular. With tine horses and vehicles it is no wonder. AVhen “Buffalo Bill” hitches up those two line black mares to his elegant phae ton, and they are driven through the streets they attract universal admiration. So, you see, that team is kept pretty busy. A SplrmllU Organ to Tt&ffie, 3Ve have been r-lvr? F-ing f-r several weeks a splendid White & Wilcox organ to raffle, the price <-f whi 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 be seen at the postoffieo. That it is what it is represented to be, we copy the fol lowing extracts: From Prof. R. 3L 3lclntosh, profes sor of music at Emory college: “Send us White and Wilcox organ, style 100, for our commencement. 1 think that the best, of all reed organs for family. Never saw the equal to it, etc.” From ITof. Sehceller, Dalton female* college: “It is the best I ever tried.” • From Prof., G. C. Looney, Jonesboro: “All seemed well pleased in selecting the White & 3Vilcox organ in preference to , and I think we were very for tunate in forming an acquaintanceship with the 3Vhite & Wilcox organ before ptirchasi ng elsewhere. ” 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. 3Vikle & Go. The in strument is guaranteed to be all what is claimed for it. Call at Wikle’s and take a chance before it is too late. Only a few left. A Beautiful Bouquet. The senior editor acknowledges the gift of a beautiful boquet from the “glide wife” of our popular mayor, Mrs. John Anderson. Its rich hues and fragancy were emblems of the purest friendship and we accept the gift as such. 31ay the life of the donor continue as brightly that of the true-hearted Christian as -her past has been; and when the sunset of her existence upon earth comes, may the mellow halo of beautiful flowers on the other shore invite her spirit to that hap py land wheie all in peace and beauty, love and happiness. The Cartersville Cotton Market. Notwithstanding the lateness of the cotton season all over Georgia, especially in this section, cotton is now coming to our market quite rapidly. Already 124 bales have been received here, and the prices paid, all around, are as good as paid in Rome. It is expected to keep up the highest prices here that can be paid. Nothing is to be made by Bartow plan ters In carrying their cotton to market elsewhere than to this place. Tlie Atlanta Dispatch.

Tlie newspaper law says if any person orders his paper discontinued he must pay all the arrearages or the publisher may continue to send it until payment, is made, and collect the whole amount. Also an action for fraud can be instituted against any person whether he is respon sible in a financial view or not, who re fuses to pay for liis subserition.
