Ourtright caught fire, but the flames were speedily extinguished before much daqjpge was done Cedartown Now a Busy Place— Everything Is Running on Full Time—New Buildings Going up hut Demand for Houses Still Increasing. Cedartown never experienced an era of more genuine prosperity and activity than now pervades every branch of industry. Our factories and furnace are striv ing to reach the limit of their daily output, and the mining business is taking on fresh impetus as the un favorable winter season gives way to the balmy days of spring. The big four-log washer at the Reed bank is about ready to turn out ore, and the Alabama * Georgia Iron Company will soon begin the erection of a double-log washer at their splendid ore property at Grady. With the Wood, the Reed and the Grady washers running on full time, a large force oi hands will be em ployed in addition to the number now at work with this company, and an immense amount oi iron ore will be mined daily at these banks.

Besides these,many otherimprove- ments and enlargements are contem plated on different properties in the city. And yet there is no “boom” in Cedartown. There is nothing spec ulative or risky in any of the build ing or improvements for the past few years in this city. The growth and progress of Cedartown have been natural and steady, and it is a gratifying fact that our business status is one of permanancy. And yet with all the house build ing and improvements for the past few years arid now in progress, the demand for bouses has steadily in creased, and the opportunity for profitable investment on that line was never so great in Cedartown’s history.

When the Water and Light plant was opened last Monday morning, a gruesome surprise was found. Mack Wood, the negro fireman, lay on the floor upstairs with a ghastly hole in his skull, evidently made with some sharp and heavy instru ment. He was unconscious, and for a longtime remained in a condition where it was impossible to get any explanation from him. When he quit work Sunday night, he was told to be on hand very early Monday morning, as it would be necessary to start the pumps at an early hour. He asked that he might be allowed to spend the balance of the night in the building, so that he could be on hand when wanted in the morning. Permission was granted, and that is the last known definitely as to his movements. The general impression has been that as soon as left aloue, lie admit ted others and engaged in gambling, as a result of which he was hurt in a quarrel, and there is some reason to suspect that this is true. The negro,however, is now getting along nicely with his injuries, and tells Dr. W. A. Chapman, the physi cian in charge of the case, that he was hurt by the accidental fall of a sharp-pointed iron door-bar at the plant. AGENT FOR STEAM LAUNDRY.
