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! — T1IE UUSTUKR. 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.

Briefly stated,theseare the recordsof the prize winners in the sharp contests fertile championship in the North Georgia and Alabama Volunteer Fire men’s Association last week in Gads den, Ala. And every loyal citizen of Cedartown has the best of good reason for feeling genuinely gratified at the magnificent showing gallant onr team made at tin's meet. It was a brilliant victory for the Cedar City, won fairly in every instance, and generously con ceded by all competitors in the friendly contents. Tlie most cordial feeling pre- ailed throughout tlie meet, the splen did hospitality of Gadsden crowning tlie event one of tlie most delightful n the history of tile Association. IN THE QUEEN CITY. Gadsden gave the visiting firemen the glad hand, and on every hand, at every- turn, and at every occasion nothing was omitted from the ample preparations to impress upon that city’s guests tlie cordiality and hos 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 addition thereto,“open house” was kept 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 PRAYER. Overture, “Kentucky Medley,”.. »rr. by R- Boettger, Baugh-Zimmerman Band. j; ssa y, “Glories of the Age,” Miss Madge Stubbs. Essay, “Be Oaks, Not Mistletoes,” Miss Rosa Vance. Oration, “What Constitutes Success in Life,” Mr. Walter Butler. Concert Waltzes, “Daughter of Love,”.r C. W. Bennett, Baugh-Zimmerman Band.

Oration, -. “The Future of the South,” Mr. Ruel Hunt.' s The North Georgia - Methodist Con ferenee, which convenes Nov. 21st in Atlanta, will he presided over by Bishop Hendrix. 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. diplomas conferred^ Schottische, “Lil and Lou,” R.

Tho Bangh-Zimmerman Band will render some of its choice selections be fore as well as through the program, and the ladies of the Methodist clinrcb will servo ice cream in the Court House corridors before and after the exercises - 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.

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.
