1. Tacos N Subs in Cartersville receives a 65% on their recent health inspection (thegeorgiagazette.com) — A recent state health inspection gave Tacos N Subs on North Tennessee Street in downtown Cartersville a score of 65 out of 100, citing several food-handling and cleanliness issues.

2. Cartersville volleyball wins Region 7-5A opener (bartowsportszone.com) — Cartersville High's volleyball team opened Region 7-5A play strong, sweeping Pepperell and rallying past Dalton in four sets on the road.

3. The Bartow History Museum Presents From Spirituals To Freedom (wbhfradio.org) — Cartersville residents can enjoy a free musical evening on August 29 when the Bartow History Museum brings Sparky and Rhonda Rucker's "From Spirituals to Freedom: Building America" to The Grand Theater downtown.

4. Robert Ledford Jr. (polktoday.com) — Cartersville is mourning the loss of 69-year-old Robert Edward Ledford Jr., a U.S. Army veteran, artist, and storyteller who spent most of his life in the community.
