CHEROKEE RAILROAD
T# ke *r Mt t he?-Toorrow\ Meetia*
t Determine.
Notices have been sent out to all
persons along the line of the Chero
kee Railroad, inviting them to at
tend a meeting at Cartersville to
morrow’, in which all questions as to
right of way and complaints of every
kind whatsoever are to be settled.
This meeting has been called by Mr.
A. G. West, senior of the late pur
chasers of the road, and transporta
tion will be free to all.
OBJECT OF THE MEETING.
Divers complaints have been made,
we understand, against the former
management of this road for different
reasons and one of the means for
retaliating has been to lay damages
for right of way. And now since the
road is owned by parties directly re
sponsible, many suits are talked of.
The purchasers are situated so as to
be independent, and will not contro
vert matters.
ROME OFFERS SIO,OOO CASH,
If they will abandon the present
line and extend the part now being
operated beyond Cedartown to Pry
or’s Station.
They bought this road at so low a
figure they can easily enough afford
to take up the iron and let those
over whose land it runs “raise vege
tables on the road bed.” They can
sell enough of the iron to pay back
the purchase money and have almost
left enough to complete the road from
Cedartown to the Selma, Rome & j
Dalton.
Mr. West will not dally with the
matter. He is willing and he really
would prefer to operate to Carters
ville, as well as to Pryor’s Station,but
will not enter extended litigation to
do it. However, we may anticipate j
rather too liberally what he may have
to say in the meeting; yet it may not |
be amiss to mention briefly some
personal characteristics of the parties
with whom our people have to deal.
AMOS GOULD WEST,
President of the Cherokee Iron Com
pany, ißa plain, matter of-fact busi
ness man, and thoroughly self-made.
He started out in life at the age of
twelve years, and of the twenty-five
dollars, his salary the first year he
saved twenty, and as early in life he
decided that “well as not” he would
have something. The iron business
he chose, and has been engaged in it
for a iarge portion of the forty years
since. Asa member of the Samuel
Colt pistol and gun manu factory du
ring the war, he added sufficiently to
his fortune to
RETIRE FROM BUBINEBB,
and with his wife, (she died without
children six years ago,) traveled a
year and then settled in New York
city Mr. West admits that he did
well enough in preparing his home,
procuring carriage horses, etc., etc.,
but that “ when everything was
fixed” he became dissatisfied and
a dyspeptic. The life of leisure did
not at all suit him. Upon deciding
to come South and engage in the
manufacture of iron, he accepted a
divide of capital from friends who
wanted to spare with him, and he
built the Shelby Iron Works, in Ala
bama..
During the fourth year he sought
to buy the interests of his friends,
offering them double the sum put in,
but they refused to sell, preferring to
give him $300,000 —double theamount
that he had invested., Then he look
ed about again and purchased in Polk
county, in connection with his broth
ers-indaw. Their investment com
prise about 18,000 acres of timber
for charcoal, 1,000 acres farm lands,
and 400 acres hematite iron ore of 56
per cent, iron,and this quality of iron
commands a premium of six to eight
dollars per ton over other iron. The
bank now being worked is sixty to
eighty feet thick, and some twenty
tons were thrown off the other day
with a single blast. The property is
not for sale.
J. HULL BROWNING,
one of the three brothers-in-law who
own a half interest with Mr. West,
is president of a New Jersey Rail
road. He has various incomes and
from one source alone receives twice
as much per annum as that voted
Grant by the salary grab Congress to
insure his approval of the bill. So
it is evident that
THE CHEROKEE IRON AND RAIL
ROAD COMPANY
have the ability to carry out any sort
of obligation with this railroad that
they may desire or undertake.
Besides, and we ask pardon for the
extensive personal reference, they are
eminently worthy the co-operation
and patronage of our people’ When
Mr. West re-entered business life he
did it with the purpose to die in har
ness. He does not command his em*
ployees to go, but says come. He is
at home with engine, in the ma
chine shop, on the works, or wher
ever there is anything to do. Two
nephews, Mr. Winfield Kenyon and
Mr. Charles West, are with him, and
have already become familiar with
the steps of their uncle.
A Valuable Invention.
Mr. W. S. D. Wikle, of Carters
ville, has perfected and is now man
ufacturing a composition for prin
ters’ rollers, which for durability,
toughness, elasticity and cheapness)
is unequaled by any other in the
market.
Mr. Wikle is a pressman of many
years’ experience, having superinten
ded some of the largest printing es
tablishments in the South, and for
years he has given the subject of
printer’s rollers much thought and
has made many experiments in this
line. By the recent discovery and
addition of another chemical, he has
at last succeeded in producing a com
position scarcely susceptible to at
mospheric changes, and which com
bines the qualities necessary for a
peifect roller —elasticity, durability,
toughness and suction.
Mr. Wikle furnishes this composi
tion and casts rollers at the very low
price of 30 cents per pound, or in
lots of 40 pounds or upwards, he
will lurnish it at 25 cts.
The Express has used his rollers
for some time, and it is a pleasure to
us to recommend them most highly
to publishers throughout the country.
Orders addressed to W. 8. D. Wi
kle, Cartersville, Georgia, will re
ceive prompt attention, or informa
tion will be furnished those who de
sire it.
ipprMthlng Press faiTtatloi,
The Free Press, of yesterday has
this to say about the Press Conven
tion. We concur iully, and trust
there will be a good attendance at
the time suggested, in the opera
house:
The meeting of. the press association of
Georgia will assemble in Cartersville the
first Wednesday in May. The associa
tion meets here at the invitation of our
citizens, which invitation implies that the
members thereof will be entertained by
them. That Cartersville will do the
thing handsomely there can be no doubt;
but it is about time our citizens were
making preparations for the occasion.
We suggest that a citizens’ meeting be
held at the opera house on Saturday, the
29th inst., say at 4 o’clock, p. m. Let it
be understood that the meeting shall be
at that time.
Between Atlanta and Nashville.
| The Nashville, Chattanooga & St.
Louis Railway Company is now put
ting down steel rails on the gap of
fifty miles between Cowan and Mur
freesboro. Steel rails for half this
distance have been purchased, and
the probable addition of ten miles
more to this year’s work is men
tioned. At all events, the manage
ment, we understand, has determin
ed upon completing the line with
steel between Nashville and Chatta
nooga next year. The time will then
be reduced to five hours. If neces
sary certain trains may be run in
four hours.
On the Western & Atlanta, steel
rails extend nearly all the way from
Cartersville to Atlanta. Fourteen
miles have just been purchased and
will be used on the sharpest curves.
This will cover within nine miles of
half the distance. This road is in
such excellent condition, however,
that the critical traveler will hardly
realize that the track is not all steel.
It may be put in your pipe and
smoked that by 1880 the time be
tween the capitals of Tennessee and
Georgia via Chattanooga, a distance
of two hundred and eighty-nine
miles, with plenty of time for good
meals, and all other necessery stops,
will not exceed nine hours. When it
is reduced a year later to eight hours
the cars will be crowded more than
ever.

amauga creek—or more properly
river from itssizj—flows through it.
Tiiis stream lias many fine water
powers, and one of the best is imme
diately in the center of the town.
The bottom and valley lands in the
neighborhood are rich and fertile ;
the mountains are well timbered
and abound in iron ore (brown hem~
atite) and very rich in percentage of
iron. These ore beds, owing to their
contiguity to large bodies of timber,
and also to the red hematite ore,
which is found in the adjoining moun
tain, some 4 miles aways, will some
| time be very valuable.
Graysville has always been a
manufacturing town.
Prior to the', war the large furniture
manufactory and flour mills of Mr.
Gray operated there. They were
entirely destroyed by Sherman’s ar
my. Since the war, C. W. Gray &
Cos. have established lime works,
rebuilt the mills, consisting of flour
mill, saw mill and barrel machinery,
and the town again presents a busy
appearance. The lime stone is found
here iu inexhaustible quantities,
whole mountains of it being owned
by C. W. Gray & Cos., of every
riety and such excellency as make
the Catoosa lime celebrated in every
market within its reach. This lime
is shipped as far North as Danville,
Virgiuia; South, to Jacksonville,
Florida ; West, to Vicksburg, Miss
issippi. In the seaport cities it
meets and competes with the cele
brated lime made in Maine and
holds its own, although having to
contend with cheap water transpor
tation which the Northern kilns en
joy. The works now turn out daily 150
barrels, and C. W. Gray & Cos. are
preparing to increase the capacity to
250 barrels per day. The barrels are
all made at the works, the timber
for barrels being all prepared first
by machinery, ready for the cooper,
hands. The superior natural facili
ties enable them to sell this lime
lower than other works, and its qual
ity always insures a demand ahead
of the supply. In addition to the
lime, which is the leading article
manufactured in the place, C. W.
Gray & Cos. operate the flour and
saw mills, running night and day,
turning out for shipment flour, meal
and lumber. These various enter
prises afford employment to many
hands, adding materially to the
wealth of Catoosa county.
Graysville has two churches—
Methodist and Baptist. The water
is very pur“ and cold, two fine
springs being immediately in the
town. The climate in the summer
is delightful.
No village on auj railroad South
is more entitled to credit as a man
ufacturing point than Graysville,
Georgia. We met a gentleman in
fhattanooga recently, who bad been
there, and who kindly furnished the
foregoing notes. He does not
elaborate at all; indeed he does not
say half as much as might be said.
Still, the business man or the trav
eler will get from it a fair i lea of the
business done. In this connection
we feel like congratulating C. W.
Gray, to whose patience and pluck
the enterprise of the place is chiefly
due. Considering the damaged con
dition of Lis fathers estate by the
track of fire. Few men would have
achieved success through the per
petuity of such a struggle.
A desperate duel was fought in Bal
timore a few days s-i ice, in a cellar,
between two young men well and fa
vorably known in busine-s circles.
The altercation was the result of the
death of the sister of one of them
from puerperal fever. It was a cas
of deception and desertion.
Notice is hereby given that no picnics will
hereafter be permitted at the residence Of the
late Godfrey Barnsley, Esq, in Bartow county.

A Golden Opportunity.
Wanted Immediately on the line of the
International & &t. Nertliern R. R.
In Texas, where it is healthy, with excel
lent Freestone water, 200 GOOD FARMERS
to rent lands upon the following conditions :
When the landlord furnishes the .and and
improvements only, and the tenantthe team,
tools and provision, the landlord receives
from one-fourth to one-third of the crop, and
tenant the remainder. Where the landlord
furnishes everything necessary to the making
of the crop except the provision for the fam
ily of the tenant, the crop is usually tliviled
betweed the two parties. The two systems of
leasing offer industrious poor men, and es
pecially those with considerable families, gol
den opportunities to become independe: t
and the owners of farms at an early day.
Thousands of men in Texas, who are to-day
independent and the owners of fine larms,
made the first step towards success by
renting land in the manner described, and
many ot them purchased farms with the
profits of a single year’s lease. Of course it is
more profitable for a man to buy land and im
prove and work his own farm, if he has the
means to do so, but for those who are de titute
of capital and possessed of industry and some
knowledge of farming, the system of renting
land lor a share ol the crop cannot be too
highly commended.
PRINTED LIST OF FARMS FOR RENT
AND
LANDS FOR SALE FURNISHED FREE.
Wanted also 500 Colored Families.
As tenants on Corn and Cotton Plantations.
