CARROLL FREE PRESS. CARROLLTON, GA., Jan. 4, 1884 1883—1884. ‘•Ring out the old, ring in f ho new, ’’Ring out the false, ring in the true.'’ The yenr 18S3 which has just pass ed •way will be one long to be re membered. It was in many re- •pects a remarkable year, but that wfrtrb will mark It more than any one thingelse, was the great drouth ricited upon almost this entire country. It will be in the future most notably known and referred to, as the dry year, 1883. The year 1884 is upon us with its duties and responsibilities. What it has in store for each one of us, time alone can reveal. It is ours to so live, that whatever it may have, prosperity or adversity, life or death, that we may meet it, with that spirit, which should ac tuate true men and women. Owing to the failure of crops last year, the new year Will undoubted ly be a hard one, and it will be*a difficult matter for a great many to make “buckle and tongue meet.” All will have to practice the closest economy. Politically the year 1884 will be an important one. It-will witness the struggle for supremacy-between the two great parties of the coun try. Being about equally balanced no doubt the contest will be a des perate one. Whichever wins will have to do so by good manage ment and hard work. In Georgia we will have State, congressional and county elections which will ex cite no little interest. , The Free Press enters the new year with bright prospects and high hopes. Its succes so far, if not phenomanal, has certainly been re markable. At-the rate our sub scription list is increasing, we will soon have one of the largest of any county weekly, in the State. We thank our friends throughout the county, for their generous efforts in our behalf. Being under no ob ligations to any one, but the people at large for support, being the bene ficiary of no public patronage, which entails a corresponding ob ligation, the Free Press will, “un awed by influnence and unbribed by gain” always be found battling for the rights of the people at large by whom it is sustained and up held. Fire in Cedartown. From the Rome Courier we learn ♦hat there was a disastrous fire in Odartown on last Friday night. The4?ourier says that “the fire Was the work of an incendiary, and was first discovered in the rear of Mr. J. P. Duke’s livery stable. The flames spread rapidly and soon de stroyed the stores occupied by Messrs. Joseph Tate, grocer; L. B. Owens, jeweler, and J. P. Turner, photographer. The building on the south side of the stable, occupied by Mr. Miller A. Wright, elothier, was also destroyed. The windows of tlie Cedartown hotel were burn ed and it took noble work to save the building from destruction. Moat of the goods in the several buildings were saved. Mr. Wright ••tried $1,200 insurance on his building. The others were not in jured. There was a number of horses in t^e stable and five of them perished ifl the flames. Two others were badly burned and will proba bly dio. Is it Right? A young gentleman hires of the liveryman a horse and buggy to enjoy himself with his dulcina. After Delectable bliss With love's honeyed kiss he returns to the stable. Is it right for him to pay for the ride ? It is and he does it. He goes to the barber to be shav ed, perfumed and smoothed over. There is a ball ahead— And the^jfair from all around Are gathered into town. Ambrosial locks and shiny slips, And praises fall from all lips. Round goes the dance; a merry band, Foot to foot and hand to hand. The scene is over, Is it right he should pay for it? It is and lie does it. is it right? The nuptial day is appointed; the feast is made ready; the guests are invited; the wine sparkles in the cup; smiling faces and happy hearts meet, and pleasure reigns as a queen among her maids of honor. Hush! The minister is upon his feet; the adjoining door is ajar; forth steps the bride and the bride groom with their attendants. The marriage ceremony is over—they are made one. Is it right the minister .should go away unpaid? What? I say is it right the minister should go away unpaid? Sambo, what you say? No, Marsa, hie steal eliery old gob- ier and ebery chicken on dis plan tation and sell uni to git do money ’fore 1 would ’pose on do preacher dat way.

MERRIAM & CO., Pub’rs, Springfield, Masa 4 The Newnan Herald contains a long account of the killing of a negro in that place on last Su-nday morning- by the name of Squire Germany by W. H. Gearrald, a liv ery stable man. The negro had •old a mule to Gearrald, who, being •uspicious of the title, was making arrangements to have him arrested, when he skipped. On Sunday he got on the track of him and, with other parties, attempted to arrest niin, when the negro, resisting and threatening Gearrald, was shot. Gearrald ■ gave himself up to the Sheriff. Editor Free Press.-Witt you be so kind as to lend a helping hand to kill or cripple the great monster, alcohol, by having him buried, or circumscibed, so he can not do any damage to our children, who will soon have ’ to take our station - in church and State. Let us with ev ery good citizen deny ourselves and put the evil out our midst, that we may have better church members and more honorable citizens of State than we have. In order to bring about so desirable result let us, if we can constitute every wo man in the county of Carroll, and through them all the women in each county in the union, into petition ers to memorialize the legislatures and congress to bury the monster so deep that lie can never rise again. I suggest the following as a suitable. FORM OF PETITION: “As drunkeness and traffic in spiritous liquors has a ruinous ef fect on the human family, reduc ing them below the brute creation, wo, the women of Carroll county, with the women of every coun ty in the state of Georgia, and of the United States of America, form ourselves into an association to pe tition our respective legislatures t abolish all laws, that have a tenden cy to protect that traffic to the de moralization of our citizens, and to make laws prohibiting under heavy penalties, the sale and traffic in spiritous liquors, in any manner.— Every praying your honorable bod- ey to pass such laws as will drive the monster out of the Sunny south, we remain etc., etc.” In order to make it easy for the women to canvass their own dis trict, take your petition with you to church, requesting the minister to make a statement of the object, and call on all the women that are wil ling to sign the petition to let it be known and their names taken. Yours respectfully, John M. Forbes. nor ■d^ing. A.lSJ'JD J”TTIE3I_A_I£T POPE 7 YB ADOPTED XT On and after the first day of January 1884, we will sell strictly for cash.
