Death ®f Wiley Hand, Esq.
Death claimed all that was mortal
of Wiley Hand last Sunday morning
at one o’clock.
He lmd been confined to his lied
from measles. Recovering, inflam
mation of the stoumeh and bowels set
in and resulted in his death.
We do not intend in this to give
anything like an extended notice of
the deceased. Other hands who knew
him better have been selected and at
an early day we shall have pleasure
in publishing his obituary.
The limited time we were permit
ted to enjoy his acquaintance and
friendship, was most pleasant He
was correct in his dealings, kind,
charitable and noble hearted. We
regarded him as one of our best
friends.
His family has lost a treasure—his
wife a loving husband—his children
a devoted father. The community
has boon bereft of a good citizen.

Poor Wiley Hand had sent in his
petition to the lodge in this pluce but
a few days before lie was taken sick.
According to the rules of the order a
petition lies over a few days. Du
ring this time he was confined to his
bed of sickness. Alas! ho was not able
to attend the meeting. Two thousand
dollars would have been left his wid
ow and children by the noble broth

commissioners would not put it up
for sale unless some one would start
it at 842,000.
Gapi. West couldn’t see it that
much, so there was no sale. We
understand the Captain stated that
he did uot want to buy the road if
some one else could be induced to do
it; but, he would make them an offer
of #30,000, and give them fifteen days
to accept or reject.
It seems to us really, that Atlanta
is standing iu her own light in re>
gard to this road. There is one thing
we pesurae which may be sot down
with some assurance of certainty,
viz.' Cedartown will have a railroad,
and that before long. It will be either
built from here to Rockmart, to the
Selma, Rome and Dalton, or from
here to Rome uuder the old North
and South charter. The latter prop
osition might prove too true for At
lanta’s good if she be uot on the
alert.
There is no decrying the richness
of the territory adjacent to the line
of this proposed outlet. Tho coun
try is fertile, aud fhe farmers are
wealthy. Tho merchants of Gedar
town are doing a good business—
never better. Capt. West lias his
thousands invested here, and all to
gether they are clamorous for an
outlet, and an outlet they will have.
Atlanta, by a comparatively small
outlay can lay all this wealth at her
own doors and thus divert it from the
direction where it will inevitably go
if some movement is not made and
that quickly. A hint to the wise is
sufficient.
