Dr. Uonnaughton can straighten
cross eyes in two minutes.
Large train loads of lumber con
tinue to pass through town, chiefly from mills
on the Cherokee Railroad.
Gerald Griffin lost an over
coat one day last week, and Kiunebrew, the
town fool, was seen with it on his back.
We are pleased to see that the man
with the “wheel of fortune” has departed to
other climes. We imagine he reaped a poor
harvest in this community.
We saw a private letter from Mr.
L. R. Bemau, late of this place, now of Adairs
ville, and who has been lying very ill for many
months, his friends expecting him to die at
any time, to Dr. Connaughton, in which he
states that he is improving. If the Doctor
succeeds in raising Mr. Beman, it surely at
once establishes his skill beyond a doubt.
This case was quite familiar to a large majori
ty of our community.
The rocky way between the bank
block and the depot is first rate to keep one
from bogging, but those sharp angles are “tar
nation” to horses’ feet, and we heard a coun
tryman complaining of them the other day.
Our former fellow-citizen W. Do
gas Trammell, lectured in Atlanta on Tues
day last, to quite an appreciative audience.
His subject was the “Red ■ Flag,” a story of
the Commune.
Dr. P. Walter Connaughton,
the great Surgeon, whose recent scientific tri
umphs have astonished and electrified the
medical world is still at the Ricks House
where he can be consulted in regard to all
incurable or obstinate diseases.
H. S. Best, the wide-awake grocer
of West Main street, desires us to call atten-
Uou to the fact that he has just received a fine
lot of cigars aad tobacco. Among bis late in
voice of cigars may be found several brands of
genuine Havanas—the only ones iu town.
They are excellent, and so is the tobacco. Try
The Hook and Ladder Company
had their semi-monthly parade last Monday,
the Company is in fine condition now, and
are well drilled.
Consumption Cured.—-Dr. Con
naughton has i:a his labratory new remedies for
this dreaded disease which will most surely
arrest its progress if used according to direc
tions. As certain as quinine will preveut
chills, Will his medicine cure consumption
even in its worst stages. He is now treating
a number of cases which are rapidly improv
ing, and will soon he rctsored to the bosom
of their families.
Keep it before the people that the
family soda fouut is still in operation at Peter
Marsh’s. He wants to sell family rights, and
very little money it takes to buy them.
There will be a meeting of the
Cartersville Library Association, on Friday
next (to-morrow) at 5 o’clock p.m. It is hoped
there will be a full attendance, as business of
much importance is to be transacted.

Read the advertisement in this
week’s issue, of the Mobile Life Insurance
Company. This is a firm and reliable com
pany, and has features which recommend it to
Southern insurers. Wc have taken a policy
in it and recommend it to our patrons. We
would be glad to see our people patron izc
home institutions more.
We learn that Col. R. H. Jones
lias accepted the agency ol the Mobile Life In
surance Company at this place. We do not
know a man who seems to embody more of
the essentials that make a good solicitor, and
if he will but give it time and application,
doubtless he will work a good busiucss here.
We are glad to learn that our friend

The Press Association of Georgia,
after several years of hard fighting against the
patent-outsiders,excluding them from member
ship, and vainly attempting to write them out
of respectability, are now extending them a
cordial hand of welcome aud giving them an
invitation to be present at the next Conven
tion, which meets in Atlanta on the 7th of Ju
ly. We account for this change of sentiment
in no other way than that these lordly manip
ulators (and a large majority of them bummers)
having failed to have the usual “good time” at
the last Convention, because they hadn’t a
quorum, are beginning to fear they have lost
forever the chance of having this great annual
spree at others’ expense, and now are dis
posed to sacrifice principle to apetite, and
forthwith call in the ostracised patent-out
siders to swell their ranks to a “quorum.”

Wc know Mrs. 8. too well to think she will

but she is sadly missed from society here.
W e hasten to correct au error that
accidentally slipped into a little local notice
last week, relative to two cases of dealness un
der treatment by Dr. Connaughton. We should
have said the little son of Mr. Dyer, instead of
Mr. Dyer himself, was under treatment. We
sincerely trust that no serious harm has resulted
from this terrible blunder of ours, and that Mr.
D. will be satisfied with this erratum.

Messrs Editors: —i have recently been
through the counties of Walker, Chattooga,
and Floyd, Ga., and Cherokee, Etaw, and
Calhoun, Ala., and found the wheat crop gen
erally looking tolerably well. In Walker and
Chattooga I found most rust and the wheat a
little thinner and the ground generally a little
lower than in the other counties named,
though some was very fine. Wherever the
land was first quality the wheat is good. The
Alabama wheat generally is better than Geor
gia, except low lands, and best valley lands in
Georgia. Cotton in Alabama is generally larger
than in Georgia, which may be accounted for
by its being planted usually on the best land
and at an early date, and the ground stirred
with a wooden harrow as soon as the cotton
had two leaves. The corn crop looks well in
in both States, though a little backward. The
farmers about Jacksonville Ala., complain less
about dry weather than in any other section,
and consider the prospects for a crop good.
Alexandria valley is the most beautiful I think
I ever saw, and this and the valley around
Jacksonville must have been very rich indeed
when settled, as they produce finely now,
though in cultivation for many years. I do
uot wonder that the people got rich in those
vallies before the war. Good lands off the
line of railroads in Alabama are comparatively
very cheap, aud were on the road cheaper
than in Bartow. I found no lands that beat
the Eutaw bottoms, but plenty of uplands, that
beat most of oars. Oothcaloga valley around
AdaireviLle is pretty much such lands as the
Alexandria valley, Ala. More wheat was sown
than usual, and a larger proportion of corn
has been planted this year than usual. This
is well since corn is worth from $1,25 to $1,50
per bushel in nearly all sections through
which I traveled. It was less in Cartersville
when I left home than I found it elsewhere.
I passed Cornwall Altna, Stonewall, Wood
stock and Cedartown Iron Works, and might
give a detailed account of each but defer it for
the present. The Woodstock Company appear
to be -most prosperous, as they have one of
the finest flouring mills in the State, fine
store, and every house built aud painted in
good style, and looked clean and nice. Cedar
town perhaps will equal this wben completed.
From present appearances the country should
revive again very soon, and will do so if the
people will quit going in debt and live with
in there income. C.

THE CHEROKEE RAILROAD.
Its Resources and Prospects.
Familliar as we have long been with the
territory bordering the Cherokee Railroad, wc
were not a little surprised at the rapid develop
ment of its rich and varied resources, which
we witnessed at all points during a recent trip
over the line. At Taylorsville, where we sup
posed the timber had long since been exhaust
ed, we saw great piles of splendid long-leaf
pine plank, and other timber stocked near the
road, and teams heavily loaded with similar
material constantly coming in. The merchants
there seem to be doing a thriving business,and
. the little village is rapidly building up and
putting on city airs.
Further on, near Blue springs, we found a
new switch had been put iu to accommodate
some largs mills, recently erected just across
Euharlec creek, and huge stacks of lumber
lay there awaiting shipment.
Arriving at Roekmart we found the little
city still growing, and saw many sigus of
thrilt and prosperity, quite a number of fine
dwellings and several business houses have
been erected since onr last visit, aud the
sound of the carpenter’s hammer and saw- still
rings through the little valley.
Alter an exchange of greetings with numer
ous old frieuds, aud readers of the Standard
ii Express, and a pleasant call at the office of
the Roekmart Hews, we strolled out toward
the slate quarries, which arc at once the main
spring and chief support of this pretty town.
The quarries are approached by a broad aven
ue, splendidly MacAdamized with the rubbish
or broken bits ot slate from the quarries.
AloDg this avenue near the railroad track, are
piled long tiers of fine smooth roofing slate,
of all sizes from 6x12 to 14x24, and near by are
the sheds, under which the skillful Welchmen
are deftly riving the solid blocks of deep blue
slate into these beautifully even and smoothe
sheets.
Following the curve of the arc, along the
banks of the Enharlee, we soon hear the blows
of the hammer and the riugof the drills, and
rounding the point of the hill we find a num
ber of experienced quarry men, slicing down
the great mountain side, as a grocer would
cut a huge Goshen cheese. Some fifteen or
twenty hands and several mules and carts are
now employed at this quarry—known as the
Old Jones Quarry, producing some eight or
ten “squares,” or about 1,800 or 2,000 pieces
of finished slate per day. Passing around the
projecting end of this slate mountain and go
ing up the gorge beyond we find another fine
quarry, open and in full operation. This quar
ry is also upon the land of Colonel Seaborn
Jones.
The first named quarry is worked by G.
Jones & Cos., under a lease from Col. Seaborn
Jones, and the last by Davis & Cos., under a
similar lease. -Col. Jones derives a handsome
income from these two quarries, to say noth
ing of his “rent role” from his large property
in the village, and the quarry-men are also
doing a very profitable business. We Mere
told that the firm of G. Jones & Cos., consist
ing of Griffith Jones, Willians and an
other man whose name has escaped us, began
business under their lease, three years ago,
without capital, and, in fact, in debt to Col.
Seaborn Jones for their mules, carts, tools aud
general equipment, aud in these three years,
notwithstanding the panic, they have paid for
all their property, each of them built and paid
for a good house, worth from $1,500 to SI,BOO,
aiql now have on their yard, at least, $5,000
worth of finished slate, which has all been
paid for, aud that they are to-day absolutely
free from debt. Which of our planters, even
iu the rich valley of the Etowah; or of our
merchants, in ouroM'n growingeity, can make
an equally good showing *
The quarries named arc not the only ones
at Roekmart. Far more extensive and proba
bly richer than any other, is the old Blance
ville quarry, embracing about 100 acres, ad
joining the Jones quarries, and covering the
whole valley and mountain side, bordering
the Euharlee for half a mile in length.
As we stood upon the banks of the Creek,
and looking down saw the pure %olid 6late
shining through its clear waters, and listened
to Mr. William’s enthusiastic description of the
rich rivers of 6late hidden away under the sands
in this great mine of wealth, wc felt that
the time had come when the people of Geor
gia should welcome with open arms and
hearts men of enterprise and capital from
whatever quarter of the globe they may come,
who are willing to spend their money in the de
velopment of these rich and endless resources.
And we rejoiced to learn, that this 6plended
property so long lyiug dormant was about
to be opperated upon a large scale, by a
strong company recently organized in Atlanta
known as the “Georgia Slate Company,”
of this co, and its stockholders and managers
the Atlanta Herald had the following in a re
cent article headed “Georgia Slate —A splendid
property to be developed—An important in
dustry about to be inaugurated.”
After giving a brief history of the Blance
ville quarries and of the operations of the
Blanceville Company it refers to the organiza
tion of the “Gcorgia.Slate Company,” and thus
sketches its more prominent leaders:
“Amongst the prominent stockholders
we find W. A. Rawson, Esq., one of our heav
iest capitalists and most sagacious investor
Dr. Samuel Hape, a gentleman of large means
and of great business experience, Col. W. C.
Morrill Treasurer of the W & A R R Cos., and
an acknowledged “prince of finance,” Mr.
Goodnow, the able manager of the National
Life Insurance Company and a gentleman of
superior business talent, J. C. Kimball, who
like his brother, H. I. Kimball, is a gentleman
*>f untiring industry and great enterprise, Ex-
Chief Justice Lochrane, a large property own
er, aud who is always sound in business qual
ities as well as in legal lore, and other equally
strong men in other parts of the State. With
such a magnificient property in their control
and with such men as Rawson and Morrill,
Goodnow and Kimball to manage it, the
“Georgia Slate Company, is bound to be a
grand success.”
From w hat we know of the gentlemen nam
ed, and of the property to be operated, we de
cidely endorse the Herald's opinion.
We understand that it is the purpose of the
company to open at once, this rich vein ex
tending through the little valley, where the
slate is far more likely to be solid and fine,
more free from worps and bends than in the
mountain side, and we scarcely see how they
can fail of success. This is a movement
fraught with the highest iuterest to the future
of the Cherokee R. R., and to the pretty little
city of Rockmart, and we bid the company
a hearty God speed in its laudable enterprise.
It may uot be known to many of your read
ers, that the road has recently been extended
some two and a half miles beyond Rockmart,
into the very heart of the great belt of flue tim
ter,lying between Euharlco and Fish creek.
Going up this extension we found several mills
already in operation, cutting out fine timber
at the rate of ten car loads per day. The larg
est of these mills has just been completed by
Mr. L. H. Hall, of Atlanta (late of Resaca).
This is perhaps the finest mill in Georgia.
The machinery is all new and of the latest
and most approved pattorn. A single saw
in this mill will cut 25,000, feet of plank per
day. And Mr. Hall assures us that he will soon
be manufacturing from his slabs, 15,000 to
20,000 laths, and from six to ten cords of wood
the right length for railroad use.
This is certainly an important industry, aud
when the next new mill about to be erect
ed near Fish creek, is completed, they will
test the capacity of the little narrow gauge
engine pretty thoroughly.
With all these industries combined, to say
nothing of West’s immense Iron works near
Cedartown, to which the road must soon be
extended, we feel assured that a brilliant
future awaits the little Cherokee R. R. and we
predict that in five years, it will be the best
paying road of its length in tlid United States.
We had intended to re for to the splendid
beds of flue marble nea.’’ Roekmart and the
new copper mines a f ew miles beyond,
the products of which will soori be seeking
transportation over the Cherokee, but the
length of our article produd es further refer
ence to these to-day. We must, not close, how
hever, without paying a des< jrved tribute to
Mr. aud Mrs. Pressley, at Riickmart. Better
cooked meals, cleaner beds or purer water
aud fresher milk, cannot be found in Georgia,
nor more polite and arable attention.
If we can raise the wind to purchase some
stock iu the Georgia Slai’e Company we pro
pose to make our summer residence at the En
harlee House iu future.
