In the State Democratic primary Tuesday, Judge Geo. F, Goiter in the Blue Bidge and Judge A-IV. Fite in the Cherokee Circuit were re-elected to the bench. They have many friends in Polk who congratulate them on their success at the polls. The following complimentary notice appeared in a recent issue of the At- taila (Ala.) Mirror:—“Cedartown,Ga., is today one of the coming • towns of the South. What is the cause? Why, her citizens are men of ambition and pride; they are not a “satisfied’’ people, they want their town to gfow;,and she is growing.” Memorial ceremonies will be held on June Sd at the Confederate Veterans’ Reunion in Louisville in honor of the ’.fid anniversary of the birth of Jeffer son Davis; who was born in Kentucky near the scene of the reunion; also, to the. “Daughter of the Confederacy and to all the old veterans who have answered the roll call “on the other side of the river.” If our bird-killing boys would con fine their slaughter to English spar rows, they would notonly gratify their own instincts but would do a service to the country. It is deplorable how rapidly the boys and the sparrows to gether are driving out the song-birds so dear to everyone, and the insect- eating birds so valuable to the farmer and gardener. The State Democratic primary held Tuesday in Georgia was without inci dent. There was a small vote every where, save in those counties with contests. In Polk county less than 100 votes were polled—85 ip Cedartown and 0 in Esom Hill, or 01 in all. The farmers were busy, and there was a general lack of interest on account of no contests to bring out a full vote. Nay, nay, the small vote Tuesday i the Democratic primary does not mean that those are all the Democrats in Polk county—not on your tin-type, it don’t! Yet it would be just as sen sible to claim that it did, as to say that the :J00 who voted for the white primary were all the white primary men in Polk county. If anybody had fought it openly, they would quickly have learned the overwhelming senti ment of the county. Hon. Bourke Cockran, a distin guished New York orator and states man, at the Negro Problem Confer ence last week at Montgomery, Ala., declared himself in favor of repealing the Fifteenth-Amendment to the Con stitution, in the interest of botli races.

Another $25,000 enterprise for Ce dartown is a certainty! i he cottonseed oil-mill which The tandard has exploited heretofore as one of the future acquisitions of this C1 J has passed from the realm of probabilities to the status of a reality, an the beginning of its construction marks another step in the onward strides of our progressive city. A few weeks ago Judge C. G. Janes granted a charter to the incorporators, and a meeting of the stockholders was held io ibi s c jty J a st g a t ur( ] a y i a t which an organization was effected. A splendid set 'of executive officers were chosen to manage the business of the mill, and from its personnel below it will be seen that the success of the enterprise is already assured : — THE OFFICIALS. President and GeiieraUManager—J. E. Houseal. Vice-President—E. Van Wi nkle. Secretary and Treasurer—L. S. Led better. Board of Directors—E. VanWinkle, II. M. Wilkinson and Ed. VanWinkle, of Atlauta, E. T. McGhee and J. A. Wynn,of Rome, and J. E. Houseal and L. S. Ledbetter, of Cedartown. The company has in its local officers two well known and prominent citi zens. Mr. Houseal, the president and general manager, is Polk’s efficient County School Commissioner, and Dr. Ledbetter, the secretary and treasurer, is Cedartown’s popular Chief Execu tive. Both gentlemen are progressive, have good business ability, and their associates will find in them wide awake oflicials who will guard well the interests of the mill. Following close oh the regular or ganization of the corporation, the Messrs. VanWinkle came up Tuesday from Atlanta to help inaugurate the work of construction. The main building for tbe mill has been used for the past year by tbe Cedartown Cotton Company as a ware house for the storage of their cotton supply, but recently tbe cotton has been removed and the building is now ready for use by the oil mill people. At a temporary organization some weeks since, an order was placed for the machinery, and the visit of Messrs. VanWinkle was to prepare for the early arrival of that machinery. The building is located in Eastview, near the E. & W. and C. B. & S. railroads, and is the brick bouse formerly oc cupied by the wholesale grocery firm of J. S. Stubbs & Co. This building is ample in size for tile main bodyof ma chinery, and was marked off Tuesday for the big presses soon to be placed. Adjacent rooms will be built at once for the big boiler and the 150 horse power Corliss engine, and a large seed house and stock room also are to be constructed. Tile buildings will be hurried up as fast as possible, and the plant will be ready for business just as soon as the gins begin to turn out cot ton seed. The Cedartown Cotton Oil Mill is going to be one of the best equipped in the whole country. Every piece* of machinery is to be the very best and of the very latest patents'and designs. Everything up-to-date in tile suc cessful manufacture of cottonseed oil is to be employed by this mill, and Mr. VanWinkle, himself a large ma chinery manufacturer, vouches for the pledge that no mill in the South, what ever its size, sliall excel the model plant he is establishing here. Aside from the splendid equipment with which the mill starts out, the character and financial standing of tlie projectors doubly assure its suc cess. The gentlemen who are non resident stockholders denn the enter prise such a good investment for their money that capital of any amount is not wanting with them to carry forward the mill to its full develop ment. Then, too, there are a number of local gentlemen interested in the company wiiose financial standing is a guarantee that the enterprise can be nothing short of success. Among the large stockholders here are Capt. T. M. Face, Col. W.C. Bunn,Mr. J.S. Stubbs, Dr. L. S. Ledbetter, Mr. J.E. Houseal, besides several other gentlemen who are smaller shareholders. Another encouraging feature of the mill’s pros pects is that a number of business men and large farmers over the county are interested in the plant, and their identification adds materially to its strong backing. Every farmer in Folk and adjoining counties should save his cotton seed for this mill, and aid in every way SHOULD HAVE UNIFORMS! THE BA UGH-ZIMMERMAN BAND SHOULD BE EQUIPPED With Neat Uniforms—Our Citizens Should See to It at Once. Cedartown Secures the.Tournament Cedartown has in the Baugh-Zim- merman Band an organization of for Next Year. Col. J. K. Dayis Complimented by Election as Vice President of the Association. Cedartown sent a fine array of prize winners yesterday to the big Firemen’s Tournament at Gadsden, Ala. Chief Chas. Van Wood and Delegate J. H. Sanders went over Tuesday after noon to attend tbe preliminary business meeting of tbe Association, and to see that everything was in readiness for tbe boys on their arrival there yesterday morning. Dr. J. A. Liddel', the popular Coun cilman from the Second Ward, also went over Tuesday to bear the invitation of the city government, in conjunction with our fire department, for the tour nament next year to he held in Cedar town. A message was received from Gadsden yesterday morning, announcing that this invitation has been accepted, and— Cedartown will have the Tournament next year! This means that Cedartown will have to get a “double hump” on herself next spring, for Cedartown never does any thing by halves, and must not begin to do so with such an organization as the North Georgia and Alabama Volunteer Firemen’s Association, in which our own firemen play such a very prominent part. A telegram announces the re-election of Mr. John Norris, oi Cartersville, as president of the Association; Col. J. K. Davis, of Cedartown, was elected vice president; and Mr. Hamilton, of Dal ton, secretary-treasurer. The host of friends of Col. Davis congratulate him on the compliment thus bestowed. About twenty-five of onr gallant fire men went over to Gadsden yesterday morning to participate in the tourna ment and its festivities. They went over on a special train kindly arranged by Col. Ball on the East & West, the Cartersville and Dalton companies go ing on the the same train. Gadsden is taking care of the visiting firemen in great shape, and has an en joyable program arranged for their en tertainment. The big parade of the fire department took place at 2 o’clock yes terday afternoon, followed by the lad der-climbing contest (1st prize, $10; 2d prize, $5,) and foot races (prizes, $5 and $2 50.) There was a big hall at the Frintnp House last night and another at Nochalula Falls. At 0 o’clock this morning tho firemen will enjoy an excursion to Noohalnla Falls, and the big contests of the tour nament—in which Cedartown hopes again to distinguish herself—begin at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The races and prizes are as follows:— Shoo Fly Test; first prize $15, second prize $7.50. Hose Reel, Water Test; first prize $25, second prize $10. Siamese Connection Test, rnn 100 yards; first prize $15, second prize $10. Grab Test; first prize $15, second prize $5. Horse Races, two-horse reel or wagon race, run 200 yards; first prize $50 in gold, second prize $25 in gold. There will be a big banquet at 0 o’clock tonight at the Frintnp House, when the prizes will be awarded, and some time during the night our boys will get home on the special E. & W. train. The Standard voices the sentiment of the entire community in the wish that our popular and gallant firemen may bring back with them tonight the lion’s share of the prizes. The hoys are in fine trim and excellent training, and we confidently predict that they will prove.viotors in most of the con tests. Here’s hick to you, hoys! which we can all be justly proud. Its members are good musicians who are getting themselves into excellent training, and they have a fine set of instruments. As will b“ seen from the following subscription list, the Band is indebted in the main to the liberality of gentle men residing elsewhere but who have nterests here:— Daniel Baugh, Philadelphia... $100.00 Eugene Zimmerman, New York 100 00 City of Cedartown 100.00 Universal Winding Co., Provi dence 50 00 C. W. Smith 25.00 Dr. J. A. Liddell 1000 T.'F. Burbank 500 J. K. Davis 5 00 Russell & Coleman ... 5.00 Collins & Son 5 00 Dr. W. A. Chapman 250 W. K. Holmes 2 00 Marshall R. Hudson.:f!$2f. a .... 2.00 Mrs. M. A. Booz 100 E. A. Lowry 100 Sam Peek (col.) 50 It will be seen that while a nunlber of our citizens have contributed to ward the purchase of instrments, comparatively few have “come across” out of tbe number who could and should have done so. But tbe boys should have nice uni forms. And this will give tbpse who have not already contributed a good oppor tunity to do so. A good band is a fine thing for any town, and that is just what Cedartown has; but it would give better satis- facton to both themselves and the town if they could appear in nice uniforms. Who will be the first to help this good work along and set the ball a-rolling? CFNSUS ENUMERATORS. An Excellent List oi' Callable Men for Pollt. Commissions are now being issued by Census Supervisor G. D. Anderson of Marietta, to the enumerators ap pointed by him for the Seventh Con gressional District. He has made some exceptionally good selections in Polk, as will be seen from the follow ing list: B. T. Sewell, J. C. Walker, C. J. Turner, C. R. Pittman, Lonnie Casey and C.' R. Brumby, of Cedar town: L. J. Spinks and Walter P. Jones, of Rockmart; J. Sam Davitte. of Davitte’s; G. B. Boman, of Esom Hill; S. C. Dean, of Walthall; David Reynolds, of Lake Greek. In tlie assignment of territory, the Supervisor has given the city of Ce dartown to Mr. Sewell, and the militia possible this local plant. Being lo-1 district outside of the city is par- cated near their homes, affordin ready market easy of access for their seed and eontributingits capital to the taxable values of our county,the enter prise should and will have the hearty support- and friendly co-operation of all our citizens—farmers, merchants and business men of all classes. Another fact about this enterprise is that while the company starts out with $25,000 of capital, it is the pur pose of the organizers to add a fertil izer factory and possibly an ice plant, and with the success of the mill, a cotton factory is among its possibili ties. The building of this factory will be the means of bringing to Cedartown two more families—Mr. and Mrs. Ed. VanWinkle, of Atlanta, and Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wynn, of Rome. Mr. Edward VanWinkle, son of Mr. E. VanWinkle, the wealthy, cotton gin and machinery manufacturer of At lanta, is coming here to assume charge of the practical operation of the mill. Jle is a graduate of the State Techno logical School, and has gained a valu able personal knowledge of machinery an ,l the conduct of mills that fits him admirably for tbe work of supervision.

Tbe Baptist church has suffered heavily by death during the past two years, and last week another of its best members and one of the most esti mable ladies in the community bade farewell to her earthly home and went to the “house of many mansions.” After long and patient suffer!ng from a malignant tumor, Mrs. G. A. Lane passed peacefully away last Thursday morning, death finding her ready and willing to obey the summons. Octavia, daughter of Mr. anil Mrs. N. F. Cobb, was born July 3d, 1853, and all her life has been spent in this vicinity, where she was well known and generally beloved. She was hap pily married Dec. 19th, 1870, to Mr. G. A. Lane, who with their three children—Mr. Albert, Miss Ethel and little Mary—mourn the great loss of a devoted and loving wife and mother. For twenty-five years Mrs. Lane lias been an earnest member of the Baptist church', exemplifying in her life all the Christian virtues—faithful and conse crated in every word and work. Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church Saturday morning by her pastor, Rev. C. K. nenderson, who gave a touching discourse in tlie presence of a large congregation of relatives and friends of tlie deceased.
