But gs forward at an opportune time lit that has been in the minds tor months. There seems to most unanimous desire on the good citizens of all parties for om some very unlovely excres- ; es that past political methods have fostered. But the. troublesome question, lias ' een, “Who should bell the cat?” The hairman seems to have answered this t-stion and cut the Gordian knot by daring his belief that the Commit- of which he is the head should take initiative. notber pregnant suggestion of his er is that good citizens of all es of political faith be invited to in this work. Of the wisdom of suggestiori then; can be no doubt, eal and, lasting good is to be ac plished. But read the letter, and e your suggestions to the conir email for your district. STANDING. TOGETHER.

Mayor Sanders has happily epito- r-mized the secret of Atlanta’s success, and pays to our city a. high compli ment in stating that his city lias taken the lesson home for improvement. The resources of the country around Cedartown are sufficient to justify the most earnest work. . In the center of coal, iron, lime, slate and other min erals, Cedartown possesses the depos- k which most surely bring popula- and prosperity to a place. - The j fever may give extraordinary re- Is to the few, who carry it away, ling nothing but scars in the earth them.

Last Thursday evening the active and honorary members of the City Fire Department were tendered an oyster and turkey supper by the Mayor and CouncilmeD of 1893. The “set up” was a generous thing on the part of theJCiiy officials, the expenses .coming out of their in dividual purses. The spread was prepared by Perry Price at hfs restaurant, and served in the greatest- abundance.. The evening was greatly enjoyed by the laddies and their friends, and sev eral funny anecdotes went round the board. Tn^Standard Editors crfntrib uled cigars.and a vote of thanks was unanimously extended the City Fathers for their thoughtful hospital tty. The popular Chief of the Fire Department, Dr. C. Vann Wood, expressed appreciation in a few well chosen words, and promised that in the future, as in the past, the THE CHEROKEE FURNACE EX CUTiVE COMMITTEE CALL.

SANDERS AND THE COUNCIL OF 1899 Turn Over the Affairs of till- City to Mayor Ledbetter and His Co- Workers for 1990. The new year brings a change in city administration, and the munici pal affairs of Cedartown will continue in good hands. Mayor J. H. Sanders and Aldermen J. E. Good and G. D. Collins retire from office with the confidence and esteem of the thinking and patriotic people of tlie community. With Messrs. J. C. Knight, T. F. Burbank,T. H. Adams and D. J. Lowry, who hold over during1900,these gentlemen have given the city a good, clean, business administration. Cedartown has never had a better administration than that given by Mayor Sanders and Ills- c.o-workers CLERK J. C. KNIGHT. during 1899, and they are entitled to the thanks of the community for their faithful and efficient service. We publish the official reports of the Council’s work herewith,and the show ing is certainly a gratifying one:— TREASURER’S REPORT, j-e " ,SjjjS RECEIPTS. C. C.

D. J. Lowut, Cemitiry Com. During Col. Sanders’ two terms as Mayor he has managed the city’s finances most admirably, and the new administration takes hold with a nice B. A, Fite, of the Fifth. amount of cash on hand, no outstand ing bills, and with little indebtedness aside from the bonded debt of the city. Col. Sanders has made a splendid record in every respect as Mayor, and the same can be said of Mr. J.E. Good, the retiring Alderman from the 2d Ward, and Mr. G. D. Collins, who has served as Alderman from the 5th Ward and as City Treasurer. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

Sanders replied- to tlie Chiefs remarks, paying ju-d tribute to the efficiency and valuable ser vices of the Ciiy Fire Department. The Mayor assured the firemen that every cent appropriated to th' ir de partment was voted ungrudgingly, for every dollar thus expended was a good investment Tor Cedartown He thanked the firemen. for their J. H. Philpot, Marshal. splendid services, their brave con duct and devotion to duty finder every condition during his adminis tration. The occasion was thoroughly en joyed, and to both hosts and guests, it proved one of the .pleasing inci dents of the holidays. Mr. Eugene Zimmerman, the genial president ot the Alabama and Georgia Iron-Company arrived in the city yes terday,after spending the holidays with his daughter in Cincinnati. Mr. Zimmerman was a welcome vis itor in cur office last night; and author izes the positive announcement that the Cherokee furnace will START NEXT WEDNESDAY. The delay in starting has been dne to inability to gdt a sufficient supply of fnel delivered sooner, as it would not pay to “blow in” and then have to “bank”lihe furnace. LET US CELEBRATE. The Standard’s suggestion that we make the “blowing in” of the furnace an occasion for public rejoicing has struck a popular chord with onr people, and we are glad to be able to announce that the event will be duly celebrated. A parade will be formed at 9.30 o’clock next Wednesday morning in front of the Connell Chamber on Main street. TheBaugh-Zimmerman Band will head the procession, followed by our city of ficials in carriages, the Fire Department in uniform, and citizens in carriages and on foot. The furnace will be pnt in blast at 10 o’clock in the presence of the people, and brief and appropriate speeches will he made by Mayor L. S. Ledbetter, Senator W. C. Bnnn and ex-Mayor J. H. Sanders, to which response will be made by Mr. Zimmerman. An informal reception will be given to Mr. Zimmerman on Thursday even ing at the parlors of the Cherokee Club; at which our people w ill have ah oppor tunity of becoming acquainted with this genial gentleman. Let onr business men close their stores for a little while Wednesday morning, and let onr citizens generally participate in the parade and rejoicing. The starting of this fnrnace, after so maDy years of inactivity, means great things to Cedartown, and is certainly good reason for general jubilation. Cedartown, Ga., Jail. 2nd, 1900. To the Members, of the Democratic Executive Committee for Polk Co. Gentlemen The last general elec tion in this county, and the campaign leading up to it, impressed all thought ful citizens with the urgent need for a. change in our methods of selecting our public servants. Nor was this condition peculiar to Polk county. From many parts of the State a cry went up to the Legislature for some measure of relief from the demoraliz ing practices that bad fastened them selves like barnacles upon our electoral methods. When the Legislature as sembled in 189S, Senator Redding, of the 22nd district, introduced a ballot- reform bill which gave promise of rid ding our elections of some very ob jectionable features. But the General Assembly lias adjourned finally with out passing it. It is now with tbe people to either take hold of the ques tion themselves,' and make an honest effort to correct these notorious and undisputed evils, or to go on in the old ruts and evil ways until decent people will dread an election as if H were a .pestilenoe. It is a matter of common observa tion and remark that vicious practices, in increasing number and variety, have of late years grown in strength and fierceness with each recurring election. Nor is it likely that this state of affairs will be- improved until an aroused public sentiment demands it. I believe that snch a-sentim»nt pervades this county now, and that the time is ripe for action. If any measure of relief is to be at tempted before another election is held, it is, ip my opinion, of the high est importance that tbe work should be begun at once., To delay it until the initiatory rigor of our next cam paign fever has shaken the body STOCK HOLDERS MEETING.

It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one oonoern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con sumption,Coughs and Colds,have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great, medicine; and have the satis faction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases.

Lowry, of the Third. yesterday ..._ gland-daughter, Mrs. C. A. Wood, at Prior’s Station at the advanced age of 83 years. The death of this aged lady removes one of the survi vors of Polk’s parliest settlers. She had many friends among . the older citizens of the coumy, and leaves a large number of relatives and family connections. Her hus band, Mr, Haden Prior, was at one time the largest land owner in Polk county, having once owmd nearly all of Cedar Valley and (he land west ter the' Alabama slate line. Mrs Prior was the unit her of Messrs John and James Prior, and the numerous triends of the family ex tend their sympathies. The inter ment will occur this afternoon at the family burying ground on the James Prior place, Rev. T. R. McCarty conducting the funeral services. Mr. J. T. Fain was in Rome Thurs day. Prof. Lundy H. Harris, of Piedmont Institute, has accepted the chair of Greek at Young Harris College, and leaves for his new position this week. Bockmart regrets to lose this eminent educator and his accomplished wife. Rev. H. B.

Miss Eunice Nixon, who has been spending some time with her sister,Mrs. Elihu Randall, returned Thursday to her home in Carrollton. Mr. H. V. Brock, a popular young business man of Worth, spent the holi days here. Messrs. Pledger Simpson, of Bnch anan, and Joe Darnell, of Tallapoosa, were guests of relatives hero.last week. Mr. Stanley Jones, of Atlanta, was visiting Bockmart relatives last week. Messrs.. Louis Peacock, of Birming ham, and Albert Peacock, of Borne, were visitors last week in Bockmart. Mr. Richard Harris has bonght the valuable I. C. Davis home at Taylors ville. politic would be to invite partial if not complete failure. When candi dates for office are in the field, when competition for place is keen, when public interest in individuals has been aroused and the issues of the contest are doubtful, how many would stop to calmly and impartially 'consider tbe merits of any scheme proposed? Cer tain it is, that efforts to correct the evils referred to would command more instant and universal support if made far enough in advance of the next election to divest the movement of the appearance, or even suspicion, of being in the interest of any candidate or faction. The suggestion that finds most favor with thoughtful and observant citizens is a white primary, in which all legally qualified white voters should be asked to participate. This plan has been tried by the citizens of Cedartown in tbe last two elections for Mayor and Councilmen with most gratifying re sults. So far as my information goes, there is not a man in Cedartown, who favors political cleanliness and de cency, who is not pleased with the re sults of this experiment. The cities of Atlanta, Marietta and Rome, and some counties, have tried this plan also, and in no single instance has it failed to result in great improvement and relief. As upon tile Democratic Party, the predominant political force in this State, rests the responsibility for good or bad government, so it properly be comes the duty of the official represen tatives of that party in tbe county to take the initiative in bringing this matter of vital interest before the people for discussion and action. To this end, I hereby call a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee for Polk'county at.1 jR rfn jirsSfStoHffiy. aSnraary 13th, 1900, at the Court House, I also suggest that yon talk to the good citizens of your district of what ever past political affiliations, particu larly those wlio take an active interest in public affairs and have opinions upon live subjects, learn their views, and invite tbeir active co-operation in this movement.

Dr. L. S. Ledbetter, our new Mayor, is one of Cedartown’s best and most public-spirited citizens, and the new Aldermen—Dr. J. A. Liddell from the Second, and Mr. B. A. Fite from the Fifth—had high compliments paid to their standing and popularity in tbe recent election. The officers who hold over—Mr. J. C. KnighC, our clever City Clerk; Mr. T. H. Adams, Alderman from the First Ward, Mr. D. J. Lowry from the Third, and Dr. T. F. Burbank from the Fourth,—have ail made good official records. The many friends of pur-popular City Clerk will be glad to know that he retains his right to vote during the continuance of his term.
