CARROLLTON, GA, May 16, ’84
A Timely Suggestion.
Farmers this year should have an
eye to saving hay, as well as killing
grass. The thousands of bales of
hay sold in the State of Georgia an
nually shows how neglectful our
farmers are in this matter and how
valuable the sale of hay is.
The above timely item is from the
Marietta Journal. When we take
into consideration the price of fod
der and hay in this market, the im
portance to our farmers, of heeding
the above suggestion will be seen
and acknowledged at once.
The Rome and Carrollton.
We learn from the Columbus
Enquirer, as we have no Rome ex
change, that an organization has
recently been perfected, by the par
ties controlling the charter of the
old North & South railroad from
this place to Rome, and that there
is a considerable awakening upon
the subject of building the road,
and that the chances for having the
work commenced at an early day
are very favorable. The following
is a list of the officers elected:
President—J. W. Rounsaville.
Secretary—R. T. Fouclie.
Directors—Samuel Morgan, S. G.
Hardy, R. T. Fouclie and T. F.
Howell.
The above is good news for Car
rollton, for we regard this as the
most important outlet that this sec
tion could possibly have, and we
feel confident that the people here
and along the route, will do all
they can to forward the enterprise.
The Senatorship for this District.
The West Point Enterprise says:
“The many friends of Dr. B. C, Cook
here think he would make a good
Senator for this district, and would
be giad to see him make the race.
Dr. C., is one of our best citizens
and has represented Troup in the
Georgia legislature. We hope he
will be prevailed upon to run for
senator.”
Dr.‘ Cook is well known to the Ed
itor of the Free Press and he
would take great pleasure in sup
porting him for senator if Troup
should decide to put him forward.
He is not only a man of ability but
of fine moral character. He be
longs to that class of men that the
country needs in office, men of in
tegrity, brains and moral stamina.
But there are many good men in
Troup, who would fill the posi
tion of senator with honor to them
selves and credit to their constitu
ents, and out of that number, we
take it for granted that the people
of Troup county, upon whom, un
der the rotation system, really rests
the responsibility of selecting the
candidate, will give us a first class
man, a pure man, a clean man, a
strong man.
That the people of this country-
even the south,are highly favored to
some of those in the East will be ap
parent if we only remember the
well known fact that the mecliani-
ical inventions which have contri
buted so largely to our wealth and
social advancement are as yet un
known to the nations of the Turk
ish Empire, or known only as won
ders whiclnembellish the stories of
travelers. There the men still
plow the ground with implements
as rude as those that were used in
the days of Abraham, and black
smith and carpenters manufacture
them with implements ruder still.
A straight stick tied around the
necks of oxen with a piece of half-
twisted rope serves the purpose of
a yoke, while a long pole tied to the
middle of this yoke with another
rope, and extending back to the
plow, is the plow beam. The grain
is cut with a sickle, threshed by
tramping it on the threshing floor,
moved by wooden rakes and forks,
and winnowed by tossing it up in
the wind with a wooden shovel.—
Vehicles of all kinds are almost un
known, their places being occupied
by pack mules and asses with sad
dles of 4 the rudest; possible style.—
Household furniture is almost un
known among the poor, and not
only are sewing machines and
cooking stoves totally unknown, but
even a common wash board or an
American tub would be a curiosity.
Still dissatisfaction is the most ap
parent thing among us. Consider
ing the facilities we have, the ad
vantages of climate, water, air and
good government, and then to think
of the poverty and destitu
tion to be found in this favored land
fills us with\woiidor. Men fail to
do well here, not because they can
not, but will not. We do not essay
to account for the patent fact of
our poverty, but call attention to
it, and wait to see if some one will
not show us the reason and. point
out the remedy.
A Texas man lias invented a ma
chine for washing dishes. Now let
him go ahead and rig up a whole
hired girl on the same plan and he
will make bis fortune.
Coweta Correspondence.
Editor Free Press.—It has
been some time since I wrote you,
owing to the want of time. I have
been very busy planting and my
other engagements have prevented
me, but I will try and do bettor in
the future.
News of importance is rather
scarce.
"Wheat is the poorest crop for ma
ny years, oats look very well, but
need rain, cotton a very good stand,
very small, gardens rather late.
Several deaths which you have
seen in our county papers.
Some loving couples are quiting
the lonely walks of single life and
uniting their destinies for
future life. Mr. L. B.
Gurley and Miss Sallie
Carmical were married by Dr. Bar
ret on last Sunday and they are
happy as j une bugs.
Uncle Johnie Morgan of Cedar
creek district, this county, happen
ed to serious injury,by being thrown
from his buggy while returning
from church last Saturday, by the
mule running away with the bug
gy in which himself and daughter
were riding. Fortunately Miss
Jane was not hurt. Uncle Johnie
is resting very well at this writing
and the attending physcian thinks
he will be well in a few days, if his
internal injuries are not worse than
he thinks.
Miss Melissa Attaway, daughter
of Mr. J. L. Attaway, is quite low
with consumption Mrs. J. H. Smith,
mother of Dr. J. C. Smith of your
county, is in very feeble health. I
believe everybody else is hearty
if not well.
Sunday singings are the order of
the day now, and the people are
taking considerable interest in mu
sic. And I think it well enough
for we are all poor and have no
time to attend week day singings,
as in days past by and gone. I
think music like John the Baptist
comes preparing the way for the
gospel. I hope the lovers of music
in Carroll will remember that the
B. F. White memorial singing con
venes at Cedar creek church in this
county, Saturday before the first
Sunday in July next. Comebreth-
ern and friends let us perpetuate
the name of one of the greatest mu
sicians that ever lived in this glor
ious country of ours. Mr. Editor I
know you like short sentence com
munications— thorefore 5 ;i beg par
don for trespassing this lengthy ar
ticle on your patience.
We have ten women in Panther
creek district this county, that will
aggregate 2,500lbs.,—all as graceful,
as gay, as sweet 10. So let your
clumsy men get out of the way for
our dolls. Ripples.
CartersvilleFree Press: Dr. Fel
ton was made the recipient last
week of a handsome thoroughbred
Jersey bull calf, Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt, of New York being the
generous donor. The calf has all the
important marks necessary fora
thoroughbred. It’s pedigree runs
away back into the heretofore and
stands in the head ranks in the
American Jersey Record. Mr. Hew
itt milks 30 cows on his farm in
New Jersey, the butter from which
the handsome price of ninety cents
per pound is readily commanded
in New York city. Dr. Felton is
much pleased with his prize, not
only on account of its real worth but
coming from the source it did it
makes It more valuable. The Doc
tor takes a lively interest in the
improvement of our stock and
Jerseys are his favorite cattle.
A member of the county hoard of
commissioners who lias looked into
the matter, estimates the cost to
the county of the Shuttles-Turner
case at $5,('00. This is more than
the entire revenue received by the
county for whisky license in twen
ty years, in Meriwether county.
Charles O’Connor the great New
York lawyer died near that city
on the 12th inst. Mr. O’Connor was
generally regarded as one of the
ablest lawyers this country has
ever produced.
The Douglasville Star says, a
petition asking that a vote he taken
on the stock law will he filed with
the Ordinary of that county in a
short time.

A Tale of Two Crutches-
A Well Knows Citizen of At
lanta Lays Down his Crutcher.
1 have only a few words to say, which
are to state that I have been confined to
my bed for two months with what was
called Nervous Rheumatism, or Sciatica.
I was only enabled to hobble about
occasionally by the use of crutches, and
in this condition I commenced the use of
R. B- B., four bottles of which enabled
me to discard the use of my crutches and
attend to business, i had previously used
all well recommended medicines without
relief. It has been over two months since
using B. B. B., and I consider myself
a permanently cured man.
J. P. Davis,
Atlanta, Ga. West End.
Frightful Nasal Catarrh.
PIECES OF BONE.
For four years I have been afflicted with
a very troublesome catarrh of the head
So terrible has its nature been that when
I blew my nose small pieces of bones
would frequently come out of my mouth
and nose. The discharge was copious and
at times exceedingly offensive. My blood
became so impure that my general health
was greatly impaired, with poor appetite
and worse digestion
Numerous medicines were used without
relief, until I began the use of B. B. B.,
and three bottles acted almost like magic.
Since their use not a symptom has returned
and I feel in every way quite restored to
health. I am an old citizen of Atlanta, and
refer to almost any one living on Butler
street, and more particularly to Dr. L, M.
Gillam, who knows of my case.
