CEDARTOWN WON!
OUR boys at thk TOURNAMENT
Cedartown won j
That’s what she done
And did it slick.
And quick!
And, say.
The way .
Our boys “hit the grit
Anil “sit lip an’ git'
Would corj sore eyes.
•Tivas a sin prise
To the populace
To see each race
Add to our score.
Jt there’d been more
Races to run,
We’d sure have won
More “inun !’’
Sweepstakes !
The record breaks
When our boys take tbe track .
We’ve got the knack
Of bringing back
All that we go for!
There's little show lor
The other teams.
At least, it seoms
“Second” was all
They tried to haul.
And we’ll bet a
Dime that Ma-ri-et-ta
Is mighty glad
She stayed too mad
To conic back in,
Since she couldn’t win .
But we hope next year
She’ll get off tier ear,
And meet with us
Without a fuss.
And when
Gadsden
Comes here
Next year,
We’ll see that she has the best kind of a
time that we can give.
For, sure as you live,
She’s “out of sight”
And treats folks r ght.
From Mayor on down
They wear the crown
For royal good cheer,
Without a peer.
And on that line
They’re just as lino
As lledartown “on the run.”
Ain’t that so, bun ?
But on this head
’Null' sed!

INVITED TO IJALTON.
Fire Department. Asked to Cele
brate July 4tli There.
Dalton is going to celebrate the 4th
of July in line style this year, and has
extended to our Fire Department a
cordial invitation to participate in the
festivities. The following letter of
invitation certainly breathes the right
spirit:—
Dalton, Ga., May 20,1900.
Dit. O. Van Wood,
Chief of Cedartown Fire Dept.,
Deaie Sin:—Will you accept an in
vitation to visit Dalton on the 4th of
July witli your running team and con
test for honors in program as run at
Gadsden? Dalton will pay all your ex
penses, railroad fare and hotel bills,
and make you have the best time you
ever had, win or lose..
We are going to have a big 4tii here,
and nothing would give us more pleas
ure than to entertain your most magni
ficent running team.
Very truly yours,
M. 15. Hamilton,
Sec. Dalton Fire Dept.
Our gallant firemen fully appreciate
this kind invitation from the clever
Daltonians, and sincerely regret their
inability to accept.
But the fact that the Baugh-Zim
merman Band (to which four members
of our running team belong) and tile
Fire Department itself are scheduled
for important places in our own
Fourth of July celebration, makes it
impossible for the boys to get away
Dalton is a good town, and lias one
of the best lire departments in the
Volunteer Firemen’s Association. If
our boys could have gone, they would
have had the best kind of a good time,
and—Cedartown would have gone to
Dalton with them.

made at tin's meet. It was a brilliant
victory for the Cedar City, won fairly
in every instance, and generously con

did hospitality of Gadsden crowning
tlie event one of tlie most delightful

preparations to impress upon that

pitality of a generous people. Tlie
Cedartown team and their friends were
quartered at the Printnp House, the
leading hostelry of tlie city, and in

continuously at the Firemen’s Head
quarters in Iv. P. Hall, where sub
stantial refreshments were served.
A Fine Class to Graduate Friday Night.
This is the closing week of an exceptionally successful year’s work at our
city public schools, and teachers and pupils have well earned the long vacation
so near at hand. For nine bright young ~ ladies and gentlemen, however, the
vacation will haye no end, as far as their alma mater is concerned, for on Friday
evening they will step from the graduating rostrum into the great arena of life.
The class comes from some of the best families of Cedartown and vicinity,
and the auditorium of the Court House will be filled to overflowing Friday-
evening with the friends of the class and schools. The following excellent
program will bs presented:— - p

Rev. “Newt” Turnlin, whom every
body in Polk knows and likes, was
nominated in the Democratic primary
last week as one of tlie representatives
from Carroll county. Polk sends him
congratulations.
Hon. J. S. Davitte writes that tlie
white primary movement is rapidly
gaining strength in the east end (if
the county, and they have organized
an enthusiastic White Primary Club
in his (Buncombe) district.'
The eclipse of the sun, of which so
much has been said of late, will occur
next Monday morning. While the
eclipse will be total nearly a hundred
miles south of us,a partial eclipse will
be plainly visible here if the weather
is clear. Look out for it between 0
and 9 o’clock.
Tlie people of Polk participate in
primaries whenever there are opposing
forces. They polled, a good vote in
the Evans-Atkinson primary, and if
anyone had been foolish enough to
run against the gallant old veteran
“Uncle Allen” Candler, for Governor
last week, we would have seen one of
the largest votes ever polled in the
county.
Tlie Supreme Court of the United
State last Monday decided in favor of
Hon. W. H. Beckham, tlie Democratic
Governor of Kentucky, as against
Taylor, tlie usurping “Rump” Gover
nor. The Democrats have had both
the. justice and the brains of the situa
tion in Kentucky during the recent
troubles in that state, and our only re
gret is that Goebel is not alive to enjoy
the fruits of hard-won victory. May
his cruel murderers soon be brought to
justice.
Tlie County Commissioners met in
regular session Monday. Besides
transacting routine business, they
grauted tlie petition of the Alabama &
Georgia Iron Co. for permission to
run a pipe-line along the public road
way to supply water for the Grady
’ mines. They also restored,in response
to petition, the old lines of Fish Creek
district, the increase in limits coming
off from Cedartown district mainly,
with a small corner from Roekmart
district.. Fish Creek recently followed
the example or her sister districts and
voted Tor stock law, making the entire
county under the “no fence” regime,
and thus removing all obstacles to the
restoration or all the old district lines,
■ except where new districls have been
created.

Flora Burbank, Mary Good, Madge and Mattie Stubbs in the English course,

- the COMMENCEMENT SERMON.
The Methodist chnrch was filled to its ntmost capacity last Snnday morning
t j le occasion of the annual baccalaureate sermon, which was preached by F.ev.
& N. Donaldson, a Baptist minister of Atlanta. It was a fine discourse, of high
literary character as well as being an earnest Gospel message, and abounded in
practical, common sense suggestions well calculated to inspire and enconrage the
yonng. The preacher emphasized the “snceess of failnre”—the actnal success
which the superficial judgment of the world so often regards as apparently abso
lute defeat. Tho sermon was especially adapted to tho occasion, and Dr. Don
aldson has been highly complimented on his effort. The Board of Education,
the members of the facnlty and the Class ol 1900 attended tbe services in a body.

Boys' and
The flower para'de Wednesday inorn-
ig was one of the most magnificent
ever witnessed at the tournaments'.
Money, labor and taste made tlie pa
geant a spectacle of rare beauty and de
sign, and tlie unique floats in the pro
cession proved-the enterprise and artis
tic talent of Gadsden people.
* ^
Wednesday afternoon opened the
contests, and from the first onr boys
proved tlie winners. Mr.. Ilu,
Huberts, our fleet-footed • sprinter
fairly scorched the ether as he sped
down tlie track an easy victor in the
foot race.
Bob Wood scaled the ladder with
such celerity that his Gadsden com
petitor wrenched a foot out of socket
and afterwards yielded the crown to
his Georgia rival.
And so on through the list of con
tests! Our boys were I he admired of
all, their neat and trim appearance,
their evident training and proved
efficiency winning tlie praises of all.
Whenever the team moved down the
trick, a thrill of enthusiasm fired the
crowd and the sure goal which they in
variably won wrung -from the vast
throng who witnessed tlie races burst
after bnrst-of cheers. It was an inspir
ing sight! These proud young athletes,
concious of their prowess and pro
ficiency, never made a bobble or reg
istered a break throughout the vari
ous contests. And the laurels were
given with the best of good grace by
their less fortunate competitors.
There were no bickerings or jealousies
in the ranks of rival companies, but
on tlie other hand there obtained a
"euerous concession and a courteous
-gentility which kept ail firemen on
friendly terms and in fine fellowship.
* * *
Cedartown’s running team consisted
of J. H. Philpot, Waiter Good, Tom
Beasley, Gns Philpot, Chns. Beasley,
Peter Harris, Hughes Roberts, Fred
were received hy Miss Louise Ross.
The ball anil reception were delightful
social functions, demonstrating both
the tact of Gadsden people and the
grace of Miss Ross as a charming
entertainer.
The departments of Dalton, Carters
ville, Gadsden and Anniston ehe-h
showed magnificent teams, and their
respective cities should be proud of
them, for they are a manly lot of lire
fighters, and Cedartown will rejoice to
welcome tlipm here in 1901.
* * ’
The splendid banquet Thursday
night at the Printnp House to the
visiting firemen anil their friends was
a lilting finale to a week of festivities
and rare enjoyment. Several hundred
gathered in merry jubilee, with elo
quence and wit tlie guiding haniL and
the closing hours witnessed .the fel
lowship of rivalry and good cheer.
Mr. C. P. Smith was the sparkling
toastmaster, and liis witty sallies
elicited appropriate responses by
spokesmen from tlie different cities
represented. Mr. VV. S. Colpman re
plied to tlie. toast—“Cedartown”—in
his usual manner.
. *
At. twelve o'clock, the enthusiastic
gathering dissolvejJ, and the special
train in charge of Conductor John
Read and Engineer Ab. Goodwin
pulled out for Georgia with the Cedar
town, Cartersville and Dalton teams
abroad. On the arrival here of the
special at three o’clock, tlie steam
whistles at the factories and all en
gines opened their valves and gave
tlie returning heroes such a screaming
welcome tliar, all Cedartown awoke
amidst the jubilation.
SHOOTING NEAR. CAVE SPRING.
W. C. Hannah. Insane, Shoots. F,d.
O’Bryan
What might, have been a fatal trag
edy occurred early Monday morning
where the workmen are engaged
grading the new Sont.heni Railway
spurtpthe DeBardelebefi mines.
Mr. Ed. O’Bryan, one of the clever
contractors, was directing the work,
when Mr. W. C. Hannah came up with
a gun in his hands. As Hannah has
only recently been released from the
insane asylum and was handling tlie
gun in a suspicious manner, Mr.
O’Bryan told him to leave. On iiis re
fusal to do so, Mr. O’Bryan started to
take the goo away from him, when
Hannah shot, him twice, the shot tak
ing effect in tlie neck and shoulder
and making very painful and serious
wounds.
Mr. \V. C. Hendricks brought. Han
nah to Cedartown, anil turned him
over to file .officers. Mr. Hendricks
says that there has been more or Jess
teasing of tlie old man by the men and
hoys on the grade, and this doubtless
lias helped to tiring on a relapse of
hislnnacy. While his mind is unbal
anced, there -is good reason to believe
that lie had sense enough to know that
lie was violating the law in shooting
Mr. O’Bryaq.
‘ A lunacy inquest was held Monday
afternoon by Ordinary Hogg, and
Hannah was again adjudged insane.
“Our boys 'were placed under many
obligations to tile Cedartown team, of
which they speak in tlie highest
terms. The Cedartown boys got away
with nearly every' prize, and, demon
strated that they were sports from
away back.” So says the Cartersville
News in speaking of the Gadsden fire
men’s tournament.

PICNICS GALORE.
Employees of the Wahneta Mill
Spend Saturday at Beaton’s Cave.
Buchanan Picnickers at Mr.Poricr
Jones’ Home.
Last Satnrday was a day of picnics,
and Cedartown contributed largely to
the ontings. Besides the big crowd at
the picnic of the Cedartown Cotton
Company, the employees of the Wnh-
netn Knitting Mill enjoyed the day at
Deaton’s Cave near Posco on tho East
& West road.
A special car was chartered, which was
attached to the regular seven o’clock
traio, nnd a party of about fifty spent
tho day very pleasantly at Deaton’s, re
turning on the evening train. Mr.
Louis Wade was in charge of the party,
and the management of tho Wahneta
Mill did everything possible to make
the day an enjoyable one for its fnitlifnl
employees.
The Satnrday morning’s train on the
C. R. & S. road brought a party of
abont one hundred and fifty to tho
home of Mr. Porter Jones this side of
Young’s Station.
The dinner was spread on the rocks
and the lawn around the spring near tho
Jones home,and a most delightful affair
it proved to be. A committee on ar
rangements, consisting of Messrs. R.
E. Loveless, A. C. Auehmnty, W. A.
McCalman, G. M. Roberts, W. T. Eaves
and Jesse Bell.had prepared everything
for the occasion, and the good ladies of
Bnchanan left nothing undone to con
tribute to the comfort and pleasnre of
all, especially the little folks. Tho
hospitable family of Mr. Jones turned
over their home to the visitors, and
were largely instrumental in making
the day one of gennine enjoyment.
There is no more attractive spot in the
county, with its gushing springs, its
inviting shade, and a hospitality with
wide-open doors.
Jnst before tho dinner Col. R. W.
Everett made a brief bnt appropriate
talk, and merry dining concluded the
day’s program. .
A number from Cedartown and the
immediate neighborhood were piesent,
bnt no one enjoyed the onting more
than Mr. Chalmers LoveIess,one of the
Bnchanan boys, who came down from
his business in Rome to spend the day.
The party returned to Bnchanan on the
nfternoon southbound local.

Women are Like
F t At4/orC Healthy andstrong
D lUYVt^B £>• they blossom
and bloom. Sickly, they wither and
die. Every woman ought to look well
and feel well. It’s her right and duty,
but she might as well try to put out a
fire with oil as to be healthy and at
tractive with disease corroding the
organs that make her a woman. Upon
their health depends her health. If
there is inflammation or weakening

period, attend to it at once. Don’t
delay. You're one step nearer the
grave every day you put it off.
Women can stand a great deal, but
they cannot live forever with disease

have been deceived in so-called cures.
We don’t see how you'could help it—
there is so much worthless stuff on
