(artersville, Georgia, September 25, 1879. ABOUND THE TOWN. yotes Gathered Here and There by Our Reporters. Advertise! Cotton picking brisk. And the cotton is coming in. Trade with those who advertise. Advertise if you are in business! joe Magnus was in town yesterkay. Warm weather for the last of Septem ber. Why don’t you advertise, Mr. Mer chant? When you sell your cotton pay for your paper. If you have goods worth selling, ad vertise them. Cartersville will soon be fairly teeming with business. All of our citizens are now receiving their supplies of coal. Bring your cotton to Cartersville, and get good p-ices for it. ° Baker & Hall have a full stock of wag ons and agricultural implements. The watch lacks self-respect; it is all the time trying to run itself down. It will soon be time for you to put up your stovepipe and get your fall soot. Henry Ramsaur and bis handsome brother, Luke, were in town this week. Bead the advertisements in our col umns and trade with those who adver tise. And Cartersville still continue to be the livest town on the state road, you bet! . Uncle John Anderson, our worthy mayor, has just received a stock of fine cooking stoves. Cotton is still rolling in briskly. We have to report 257 hales as the receipts for the new crop. City taxes are coming in slowly. Mi. Gladden is at the city council room daily to take in the money. Girls, “save your sweetest smile” for the boys that ordered their suitings through Percy Sneed. The Chinaman bad a good grip on the idea when he remarked that the cucum ber was “no belly good.” Miss Mattie Hardy, who has been vis iting friends in Cedartown, returned home last Monday evening. Morristown (Tenn.) Gazette: “Mr. Jas. lloss, late of Bean’s Station, now of Cartersville, Ga., is on a visit to his old friends. We are glad to learn that Mr. M. L. Johnson, a nephew of Col. Abda John son, lias concluded to make Cartersville bis home. Mrs. John L. Johnson, who has been spending the last few months at the St. James, returned to her home in Macon last Monday. If this is such a dull town as some would have you believe, why do they linger another hour here ? They should he more just. 3lr. Tom Roberts is still confined to bis room with white swelling in his foot. He has had a serious time of it for near ly two months. * As all of our business houses are pack ed and jammed with goods, we have rea sons to expect a sprinkling of new ad vertisements soon. The Free Press, we repeat, lias the largest circulation of any paper on the state road, and is, therefore, the best ad vertising medium. Cartersville can now ship cotton to New York with as lower rates of freight as Rome, and, therefore, pays the same figures for the staple as that town. Mr. W. T. Trammell, of Griffin, has been in town several days visiting rela tives. We are glad to note that he looks as young and spry as he did twenty years ago. Our neighbor over the way says our impeachment of last week was too severe. He, characteristic to the “agonised,” then formed himself into a whitewashing committee. lion. A. 11. Stephens never had a mil itary title until last Thursday morning when he arrived in Cartersville and was addressed by “Buffalo Bill” Anderson as “general.” In consecpience of the failure of our rollers this week we are under obliga tions to the Express office for the use of their press for the printing of this issue of our paper. Emory Clay Tumliu, aged 18 months, child of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Tumlin, died on the 21st. inst., of inflation of the bow els. He was a bright, loveable and prom ising little hoy. Some men take pride in advertising what they have to sell; others are too stingy to tell their customers and the public what they have. The liberal ad vertiser is a liberal dealer. We regret to learn that Mrs. S. A. Cunningham, wife of the editor of the Express, is quite ill. We hope she will soon he restored to health. We sympa thize with our copf. ere in his afliiction. There is a series of interesting meetings at the Methodist church. All are kind ly invited to attend. The business men are requested, if possible to close their stores, and come to prayer meeting ev ery morning. Mr. H. W. Cobh, our worthy county treasurer and agent of the Cherokee rail road, happened to a misfortune last week of having his foot mashed by a plow at the depot. He has suffered considerable, hut we trust he will soon recover. Mr. R. C. Roberts and family who left here on the 10th of July, for East Ten nessee on a visit to friends and relatives for health, is expected home this week, h e are glad to learn that Mr. R. is now' % * ll better health than he lias enjoyed in five years. Mr. Frank J. Cohen lias purchased the Rome Tribune , and promises to make it a lively sheet. The kernel puts his name to the paper in three different places. ( bice more would make four times, and that would make the paper still more lively. Now, shoot off your pop-gun, Frankie, Commercial Notes. Raymond Shockley is now clerking in W. W. Rich’s store. The lumber business is a big thing down the Cherokee railroad. S. J. Franklin is a liberal merchant, and gives liis customers the benefit of|the smallest profits on goods. The Cherokee railroad is doing a full headway of business, having large quan tities of freight going both w ays. Messrs. Isham Alley, P. L. Moon and G. W. Satterfield are in New York pur chasing their fall and winter goods. Asa sign of revival of business and the increasing traffic, 140 freight cars, pulled by six engines, left herejyesterday on the W. & A. R. R. —Chattanooga Times. Mr. Wm. Satterfiicld is one of the old est and best merchants in Cartersvile. He keeps the best the market affords in all that he sells. Read his advertisement and give him a call. On account of the mammoth stock of goods Charlie Auerbach has received for the fall and winter trade, he has conclud ed to move into Erwin & Son’s old stand, vTiere he will have more room. Mr. S. J. Franklin has two of the best salesmen in the persons of Tom Head and Mack Quarles. Everybody that goes there to trade speaks in glowing terms of the polite young salesmen. Dave Curry is the best young mer chant in nort Georgia, and Marcellus Word, his clerk, ’sone of the handsomest in the state. The consequence is all the girls buy their perfumery at Curry’s. Mr. D. A. (“Skete”) Attaway, a young man well known in Cartersville, will, we learn, open a family grocery in the store next door to Rev. John Anderson’s tin shop. “Skete” is an energetic young man, and we hope lie will meet the suc cess commensurate with his deserts. The new public scales at the depot for weighing cotton w r ere tested yesterday morning by the standard weights of the United States and were found to be cor rect. With Tom Simpson as city weigh er and perfect scales, our cotton sellers can have no room to complain of weights when they bring their cotton to Carters ville. Messrs. McConnell & Franklin’s gin is now in good running order and is gin ning out from ten to fifteen bales per day. They packed their first bale of cotton last Friday and are now prepared to do gin ning and packing at short notice. Our farmers should patronize these tw r o gen tlemen as they are certainly worthy of it and their energy should be properly appreciated. We are glad to welcome to our tow r n, Mr. John Hay, formerly of New York, who comes amongst us to establish a tail or shop. Ilis shop is in the St. James hotel, where he is.prepared to fit, cut and make suits of clothing for men and hoys in the latest styles. If he meets w ith the success he anticipates he will locate here permanently. Give him a call before ordering your clothing elsewhere. Hon. A. 11. Stephens. The great commoner of Georgia, Hon. A. 11. Stephens, after visiting Long Branch and other places north, and com ing home via Louisville, where he re ceived a great ovation from the people of that city, anived in Cartersville last Thursday morning. Ilis trip was made in a Pullman palace car from Nashville placed at his disyosal by Mr. Pullman himself, and passed over the state road by its authoritives "to whom Mr. Steph ens feels very grateful. Arriving [here Mr. Stephens became the guest of Hon. W. H. Felton and lady whose pleasant home he is always most cheerfully greeted and where he was en tertained with genuine Georgia hospital ity. Mr. Stephens w\as much gratified by the calls of many of our citizens, all of whom honor him as one of the best and most distinguished men of the times. — Mr. Stephens is accompaied bp his faith ful body servant, Aleck, who is greatly devoted to the great and good man. On Sunday, Mr. Stephens was the guest of his friend and our fellow-citizen, Gen. P. 31. B. Young, at Locust Grove, the home of genial hospitality, where the g i, eat commoner was called upon by a number of our citizens. It is needless to say that 3lr. S. greatly enjoyed his visit at Locust Grove, for all who have ever enjoyed the hospitality of Gen. Young and his parents know that it is no less cordial than it is royal. Theirs is the home of real, genuine southei n hospital ity, and there is no man more capable of enjoying it than Mr. Stephens. Returning to Dr. Felton’s in the even ing, 3lr. Stephens there spent the night. At ten o’clock Monday morning he left Cartersville and stopped at Marietta where he was to be the guest of his friend, Hon. Jas. D. Waddell, living some four miles out in the country. We regret to state that the illness ot Hairy, 3lr. Stephens’ old body servant, and of his nephew, Hon. Jno. A. Steph ens, state senator from the Craw'fordville district, were matters of deep concern to 3lr. Stephens while here, but daily in telligence of their improvement enabled him to enjoy his visit most agreeably, the only regret of his friends being that he could not remain in our midst any longer. Mr. Stephens had nothing to say of public affairs that he desired to he pub lished. We may be permitted to say that lie is not very hopeful of the contest for next years presidential campaign. He will go to Atlanta the latter part of the present w r eek and arrive at “Liberty Hall” on the first of October. Big Cotton Picking. Below I send you a statement of a small social gathering in the way of a cotton picking, by the family of Mr. Jas. E. Shaw, on yesterday: Pounds. Age. James Shaw 435 Levi F. Shaw 412 Robert H. Shaw 319 Mary G. Shaw 304 Lou. E. Shaw 120 9 Bet tie Winggo, col’d 401 Thos. Shaw, col’d 306 Total 2,297 If you think this can lie beat, w'e would like to hear from the family that can do it. Raccoon Creek. The Seventeenth District. Jim Stephens is happy. It’s a hoy. Cotton picking is now r under full head way. Our w ells are all failing, and Taylors ville is laughing. To say that Stilesboro is the cotton market, wouldn’t express it. There are sixteen engines at present engaged in ginning cotton in our district. J. K. Rowan has renovated the front part of his store house. Oh, my! those notes and accounts of Leake, Carter & Cos., are out for collec tion. And they do say that Stilesboro receives thirty bales of cotton per day, and pay the Rome prices, too. 3liss Ella Whaley, after a stay of sev eral weeks in our midst, returned to her home in Hancock county last Friday. But, boys, she’s coming back soon. Walter Leake left last w r eek for Judge Thomas Tumlin, in Alabama, where he has engaged 500 hales of cotton to gin by the 14th ult. Out of seventeen shots, Mr. Henry G. Carter killed sixteen birds on the wing. He challenges the county in shooting. Quite a number of the young people had a pound party at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Cunyus last w r eek, and we learh that the occasion w r as an enjoyable one. ’Squire T. K. Sproull married a runa way couple last week. The bride was only thirteen years of age. The follow ing named persons died in this district last week, viz: 3lr. James Bing, aged6s years; 3lrs. J. S. Hender son, aged 64 years; Mrs. Jane 3lorrison, aged 23 yeas; 3lr. Thomas Dawson, jr., aged 21 years; one colored and five white infants. Friends have been scattered, Like roses in bloom, Some at the bridal, And some at the tomb.’ Dr. Wm. Felton preached one of his able sermons to a crowded house in Stiles boro las't Sunday. We have heard him often w hen full of gospel enthusiasm, but never when he displayed .more feeling than on this occasion. The Free Press is styled in these part, “the people’s paper.” It is ever found in the interest of the laboring class and the people are hound to sustain it. Locum Tenens. A Loss to Cartersville. It becomes our unpleasant duty this week to chronicle the depa: ture from our city of Dr. Lindsey Johnson and family, who left last Saturday for Atlanta, to reside. They are a great loss to Carters ville society, whose places in it will be difficult to fill. Dr. Johnson goes to Demonstrate Anatomy in that excellent institution, the Southern 3ledical College. We congratla f e the faculty in securing the services of such an intelligent and upright gentleman in that capacity, knowing as w r e do that he will give per fect satisfaction. Dr. J. will also prac tice liis profession in ail its branches and wi’l make surgery a spe cialty. He is a graduate of that famous old school, the University of Louisville, and of the Hospital College of Medicine, and has also spent a greet deal of time in the New r York city hospitals, from which he has various certificates of proficiency in special branches of medicine, sreh as surgery, physical diagnosis, diseases of women, etc. We wish Dr. Johnson all the success that he deserves, and hope “that he will-live always ahd prosper.” A Frightful Accident. We are indebted to that clever conduc tor, 3lr. Sanford Vandiver, of the Chero kee railroad, for an account of the horri ble crushing of Spence Morgan, a colored man employed by that road, which hap pened yesterday about 3 o’clock near Rockmart. He was sitting on the tender of the construction train while in motion, and fell between it and a car, crushing his breast terribly, from the effects of which he died about two hours after at his home in Rockmart. He was perfect ly conscious up to the time of his expira tion. He was considered a worthy col ored man, having been in the employ of the road about six years. He leaves a very large family, who v'ere dependent upon him for support. Notes from Cassvi’le. Cotton is opening nicely; crop will be short and soon on the market. Miss Fannie Walker died on the 16tli; her sister, 3liss Lula, preceded her but a few days to the grave. The health of our section is improving. Mr. F. A. Weems and family, after several w'eeks in the mountains, have re turned much improved in health. Messrs. Garwood & IVeems will erect a splendid flouring mill in our town at an early daj r . Come up, Mr. Editors to see us. You wdll find us solid almost , when you want Felton for congress and Toombs for gov ernor. Simon. [lf “Simon” will send us notes every he will confer a great favor upon us, as well as our many readers —Ed.] Lewis Clarke, the Great Hatter. The senior editor of The Free Press is indebted to 3lr. Clarke for a splendid hat. Everybody wants one like it. Mr. Clarke is dealer in hats, caps, umbrellas, walking canes, valises, etc , and is also agent for Stetson’s and Dunlap’s celebrat ed hats. Parties wishing anything in Clarke’s line will do well to call on Clarke when they go to Atlanta. To Our Seventeenth District Subscribers. We have placed in the hands of Mr. Creed 11. Cunyus, the names of those who are in arrears for The Free Press. He is authorized to collect and receipt for all the amounts due us by our Stilesboro, Taylorsville, and Euharlee patrons. We hope our friends will pay up promptly, as w'e are sadly in need of the money. The Israelites* Holiday. The undersigned will have their busi ness houses closed on Saturday, Sept. 27 on account of holiday. Charles Auerbach, M. Liebman & Bno., Scheuer Brothers. “Black Draught” cures dyspepsia, indiges tion and heartburn, For sale by D. W. Curry, a Adairsville Colored School. The colored school at Adairsville closed last Friday. They had an exami nation in the morning, after which they marched out to an excellent dinner—the table being about 175 feet in length and filled from end to end with the different varieties of food. They all enjoyed the dinner but one, and he ate so much tha he could not enjoy it. About four o’clock they began marching, with Geo. W. and P. D. Williams in the lead; having no music they marched by the beat ot a drum. They went down one street into the main part of town and back up another street to the school house. It was a long procession, each scholar was dressed in blue, trimmed with yellow. The banners and uniforms were made by two white ladies of Adairs ville- About half past seven o’clock the house was crowded. The teachers seem ed to take much interest in conducting the white people to their seats, that were preserved for them. A >.er they were all seated as many as could be, the exercises began. It was the best exhibition I ever saw among the colored people; they all were perfect; the exhibition went on un til about' half past eleven o’clock. In the midst of the vast crowd were some of the trustees of the public schools and prominent citizens of Adairsville. Ev thing passed off peaceahy. Geo. W. La mar, the teacher, is liked by most of the citizens, as it seems that he is trying to do good work for his race. H. A Serious Accident. On last Saturday, Mr. Jack Harris, a young man who was employed at the mill and cotton gin of 3lr. Jas. Jefferson on the Etowah river near this place, met with quite a serious accident. While feeding the gin, the saws caught his pants’ leg and drew his leg into the gin, sawing it terribly from his kneej joint to his foot. Dr. Baker was called to the scene. He skillfully resected the bone and dressed the wound. We are glad to learn that the young man is doing well. The surgery practiced by Dr. Baker in this case is what is known as conserva tive or preservative surgery and has only been known in its perfect practice in the military surgery of the country from the Crimean war down to this time, and is] a great improvement on the old mode ot surgical piactice. Dr. Baker, besides be ing the peer of any surgeon in the coun ty in the theory of surgical science, is, by his ripe experience and skill, one of the the best military and civil surgeons in the south. A Sad Accident. We regret to learn that on last Sunday morning w’hile a little son of Col. C. M. Jones was near some cows that were feed ing from a trough on Col. Jones’ e farm, one of them pitched at him and hooked him, tossing him in the air, turning him around on her horn and throwing him some distance. The horn entered the bowels, making a valvalo ropening in them. Dr. Baker was immediately sum moned to the scene and with his usual skill as a surgeon, examined and dressed the wound, administering such means as were necessary for his relief. We learn from the doctor that the little fellow' is doing w'ell and has fair prospects of an early recovery. A Splendid Organ to Baffle. We have been advertising for several weeks a splendid White & Wilcox organ to ralfle, 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 be seen at the postoffice. That it is W'hat it is represented to be, w r e copy the fol lowing extracts: From Prof. R. 3L Mclntosh, profes sor of music at Emory college: “Send us White and Wilcox organ, style 100, for our commencement. I think that the best of all reed organs for family. Never saw r the equal to it, etc.” From Prof. Schoeller, Dalton female college: “It is the best I ever tried.” From Prof. G. C. Looney, Jonesboro: “All seemed well pleased in selecting the White & 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.” 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. H. Wikle & Cos. The in strument is guaranteed to be all what is claimed for it. Call at Wikle’s and take a chance before it is tob late. Only a few left. Do we Believe in Witch-Craft? “I take the position that we do not, in its broad sense, said a gentleman of years and experieee, and yet we find many of the present day carrying a Buckeye in their pocket through a kind of supersti tion, when they might be relieved by a few applications of Tabler’s Buckeye Pile Ointment.” This Ointment is made from the Buckeye, and is recommended for nothing else but Piles.
