great stone plant
BEING CONSTRUCTED
Works of Clifford Stone and Cement Company Will
Require the Investment of $150,000.
The Clifford Store and Cement
Company, of which Mr W.P. Lara
more is general manager, is mak
ing great improvements on the
plant at its works one and a
halt miles south of Hall’s Station.
This concern, which has hereto
fore been known as the Clifford
Lime and Stone Company, will,
when the improvements now under
-way are completed, have one of the
best equipped establishments of
the kind in the south. This com*
pany is composed of J. M. Ste
phens, superintendent of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in
Atlanta, president; W. P. Lara
more, general manager; and G. H.
Aubrey, secretary. Eastern par
ties are also interested. When
completed more than $150,000 will
have been expended on the plant,
and more than one hundred hands
will be employed in its operation.
Perhaps six months will be re
quired in which to finish the work.
They will manufacture cement
-at the rate of 800 barrels per day.
Among their . products will be a
perfectly white cement, which is
something new in the cement line.
They will also make \tood fiber
plaster,,at plies, rate of one hundred
♦
tons per day.. This product, made
of wood fiber and cement, and
used for plastering the interior of
houses, is a comparatively new
product, and the CliffordStoue aud
Cement Comfiany will no doubt
'enjoy an enormous trade m this
line alone. Experts from other
plants, marking the same material,
have admitted that it can be made
in north Georgia cheaper than any.
where else in the United States.
Mr. Laramore and bis associates
expect to sell their products in all
the territory south of the* Ohio
river to the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts.
In addition to the above prod
ucts they will make crushed stone
for asphalt and other paving; also
artificial building stone, columns,
tile, cement brick and other con
crete products. The cement bricks
and other concrete products are
made by means of machinery,
wnich subjects them to 400,000
pounds pressure.
When the plant is put into full
operation. Mr. Laramore may move
his family to the works.
CHARTER AMENDED.
A.. R. and N. Road to Proceed to Atlanta
from Wofford’s Cross Roads.
The Constitution of Saturday
says:
The Atlanta, Knoxville and
Northern railroad was granted an
amendment to its charter yesterday
by Secretary of State Philip Cook,
which authorises an extension of
its new Wetmore Cartersville line
practically from Cartersville to
Marietta.
“It will be remembered that the At
lanta, Knoxville and Northern re
cently secured a charter for a line
roin Wetmore, Tenn, connecting
with its main line, to Cartersville,
Oa- This charter amendment
provides for an extension of this
line from Wofford Cross Roads, in
Bartow county, near Cartersville,
to Marietta.
“While this extension does not
exactly parallel the western and
Atlantic railroad, it covers a most
important section of the same
territory, and constitutes another
link in the chain of roads which
the Louisville and Nashville is
buildingor acquiring in the north
ern section of the state. •
“The Louirville and Nashville
is preparing now to come into
The Cartersville Npw<;
Atlanta, and the indications are
that it will prove an important
competitor of the wes.ern and
Atlantic between Atlanta and
many stations directlv on the line
of the latter road.

MRS. C. STOVALL SI! EL AI \ <
Something ol Her Interesting Past—Wo'
man of Rare Culture.
Died, at Etowah Heights, near
Cartersville, Ga., November 30th
Mrs. Cecelia Stovall Shelman’
Sbe was the daughter of Mrj
Pleasant Stovall, many years ago
a prominent citizen of Augusta,
Her young ladyhood was mostly
spent abroad and in the gay soci
ety of West Point, in the days
when Generals Sherman, Garnett
and Longstreet were cadets in that
institution. It was said to be in
remembrance of that early friend
ship that Gen. Sherman saved her
home in his march through Geor
gia.
After her marriage she settled in
north Geoigia, on the plantation
where she lived and died.
Hers was the home of southern
hospitality. She was revered and
looked up to by all who knew her
as a brilliant woman of the old
school, treasuring in her mind rich
stores of information from all lands-
Leading events, from the crowning
of Queen Victoria (which she wit
nessed) to those of the present day,
she interestingly recalled.
The infirmities of age and feeble
health did not affect the brightness
of her mind or the quickness of
her repartee. She bravely passed
through vicissitudes of war
and accepted its fate, which robbed
her so sorely.
Above all she was the guiding
star of her home, the faithful, lov
ing mother of her children, who
rise up and call her “blessed,” and
whose hearts are now desolate be
cause “she is not.” She was a life
long member of the Episcopal
church, and her Bible was her
daily study and eomfort.

Vaccinate!'
There is an alarming amount of
small pox reported from all sections
of thecountry. As this is a“ winter
disease,” and as it is beginning its
ravages early, it behooves every
one to take extraordinary precau
tion against it.
There have been a number of
mild cases in the county the past
few years, but those this season
seem to be of a more severe type,
a negro dying from an attack of
smallpox Tuesday near Aragon.
Successful vaccination is the
only known preventive of this
dread disease, and all who do not
bear well defined scars should be
vaccinated immediately.
And if any unvaccinated per
sons should take small pox in this
section, great care should be taken
by the authorities to see that the
house is properly fumigated alter
the case is removed or discharged.
But —vaccination is better than
fumigation!—Cedartown Standard.
