He was one of the great capitalists and railroad magnates of the gountry, and his wealth is esti mated at $50,000,000. The announcement of Capt. J. Crabb as a candidate for Ordinary ap pears in this issue. He is one of Polk most popular citizens, a man of educa t.ion well qualified for the office, and gallant old Confederate soldier. Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, was a visitor here last Thursday, and it is needless to say that this distinguished Democrat was a welcome visitor in Cedartown. He was Secretary of the Interior under President Cleveland’s administration, and is a gentleman of national reputation and prominence. , f. Smith has recently purchased of the AY. M. and J. H. West place, south of town, and was here last week to inspect his purchase. He is greatly pleased at all he saw in Polk, our rare combination of rich farming lands and untold mineral wealth meeting liis full appreciation. He is delighted with his purchase in this section, arid Polk is especially pleased at having this distinguished statesman as an in vestor within her borders. B The Grand Jury of Bartow gave its County Commissioners a hot roast last week, charging that they have paid themselves more than the law allows and that one of the members of the board who has a store lias taken ad vantage of his position to furnish sup plies for the county. Miss Agnes, the talented daughter of Prof. J. C. Harris of Home, has been selected to receive the Georgia scholarship in the Oread Institute Worchester, Mass., the greatest indus trial female college in the country, This bright young lady has many rela tives and friends here who congratu late her on her good fortune. Another prize fight was held in New ..York last Friday night, and ex-cham pion Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Gus Kuhlin in the sixth round. The New York press used to call it an evi dence of barbarism when these con tests were held in Louisiana or Florida ' but it is evidently all right now for the sports—and their money—to come to New York. The speeches of acceptance of Hons. Wm. J. Bryan and Adlai Stevenson of the nomination of the Democratic party for Presidentand Vice President, were plain,clear and forcible presenta' tions of the issues of the campaign and appeal strongly to all thinking, fair-minded people. The position the Democratic standard-bearers greatly strengthened by these patriotic and statesmanlike utterances. It seemed pretty hot here last week, but it was nothing to what they had “up North.” There were thirty deaths from the heat Saturday in New’ York and a dozen in Chicago. In Ohio it was so hot that it is reported a baby fell into a pail of ice water and was scalded to death, blocks of ice set fire to the wagon in which they were being delivered, and some enormous hail stones set fire to fields. We are in dined to believe it was pretty hot there. Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens says that the oil department is in fine condition. He has heard of no low grade oil being in the state since last year, and only a few days ago he sent out letters to the various oil inspectors complimenting their work. An At lanta chemist who desired to make some experiments needed some low grade oil several days ago and had to send to Alabama to get it.—Atlanta Journal. The farmers of Georgia are urged by Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Protective Association,to meet at their respective county sites on the first Tuesday in September for the purpose of organ ization to secure a higher price for their cotton. Farmers, bankers, mer chants, ginners, and all others who may be interested, are accordingly in vited to meet at the Court House at 12 m., Tuesday, Sept. 4th, to effect an or ganization for Polk county. The case of Bradford vs. the Samuel Benedict Memorial School was ap pealed by the latter to the Supreme Court, and the decision of the Polk Sqperior Court was reversed in part andjaflirmed in part. The decision of the Supreme Court is a sweeping vic tory for the contention of the School, arid establishes a far-reaching prece dent. Under it a parent can have no voice in the selection of studies for his child, the teacher being the sole judge as to the pupil’s capabilities. The child must either follow the di rection of the teacher implicitly in the matter of course of study, or else sub mit to such punishment as the teacher chooses to inflict, not even excepting expulsion. The announcement of Dr. D. M. Russell as a candidate for re-election as County Commissioner appears in this issue, and we are of the opinion that he will have no opposition to his re-election. He has been the faithful chairman of the Board for the past four years, and both the other clever members of that body—Messrs. H. N_ Sheffield and J. C. Iland-positively decline to stand for re-election. The interests of the county demand that at least one of the members of the Board should be thoroughly familiar with county affairs, and we believe that the Legislature would do well to amend our local law in such a way that the,terms of all the Commissioners ywould not expire at the same time. <J‘,wl are t , hree to be elected this fall, Rand there should be no politics in their 1>Q n r in’H/Mi'll Dr - I ?uss e ll’s're-election with iHtere" s°.' klnS ° Utf0r Polk ’ 3 b “#ess, SDinks’ 13 3 brother of Dr. K.

I FOR THE PARK. FESTIVAL TO BE GIVEN EVERY THURSDAY EVENING. Everybody Pulling Together for the Park, which will a Thing of Beauty. Cedartown people are pulling to- provement project,— And that means that it is snre to be a This is especially true when the good ladies of Cedartown have any enterprise GOOD for the farmers. Mr. John Green, one of Polk’s best farmers, will operate a new corn- shredder in Polk this season, and all farmers desiring the services of this fine new machine on their farm should drop him a card at Cedartown and pre pare their crop for it. The fodder does not want to be pulled, but the corn must be cut and shocked. The stalks are fed into the machine, which shucks the corn and then cuts up the stalks and leaves into the best possible shape for feeding to stock. Under the present fodder pulling system much nutriment is al lowed to go to waste, but this machine saves it all. Many of our best farmers will use the shredder this year for the first time, and they confidently expect to be greatly benefited thereby. , STREET FAIR FOR < EDARTOWN When Cedartown has her 4th of July celebration next year, why not incor porate a Street Fair With it lasting three or four days ? Such a fair would pay our merchants, and would be a good thing in every way for our town. Rome had a suc cessful one last week,which drew large crowds from this entire section. Just as an instance of “how the old thing works,” we might mention the fact that a certain Cedartown man bought at one of the Rome stores twelve pairs of shoes: He could have bought them just as good and just as cheap in Ce dartown, but the street fair gave him and bis family a cheap excursion to Rome and put him in buying humor This is only a single instance, but we believe that it will pay our enterpris ing merchants to thoroughly investi gate the matter and accept The Stand ard’s -suggestion. Cedartown will entertain the big Firemen’s Tournament in May next year, and will gain some valuable ex perience which would be of great service for a street fair. Cedartown can make it a big success. The only question is. Does Cedartown want to undertake it? in charge, as is the case with our new city park. The project is one thst appeals natur ally to our people, for—aside from their own personal enjoyment—they know that every visitor to Cedartown is taken to onr famous Big Spring, and that at tractive snrronndings there will be of great practical valne to the city. The generous donation of $100 by Col. C. P. Ball, the popular manager of the E. & W., has formed a nucleus for a park fund built up by smaller contri butions, with which a handsome band pavilion will be erected, bridges and fences bnilt, and the grounds otherwise beautified. Plans have been prepared and bids are being received for the pavilion, ard the near fatnre will see a pretty pagoda- roofed bnilding ornamenting the grounds,' from which onr excellent Bangh-Zimmerman Band can discourse sweet music at will. The ladies of the Park Association propose giving a series of ice cream fetivals this summer for the benefit of the park fnnd,and will hold them every Thursday evening at the park. There was a big turn-out Tuesday evening at the festival, and the ladies could have disposed of twice as much ice cream and cake. The threatening aspect of the weather seemed likely to cause a postponement, bnt Dr. D. M. Bussell, chairman of the board of County Commissioners, kindly con sented that the entertainment for this public purpose be given in the Court House corridors, and it was a success m every way. The Bangh-Zimmerman Band gave a splendid open air concert, which was greatly appreciated, as is every public appearance of this excel lent organization. Hereafter these weekly festivals will be held on Thursday evenings. Onr merchants have the thanks of the ladies for their kind assistance. The ladies are responding quite readily to the reqnest for $1 each for the purpose of fenciDg the park. The park project has passed its in itial stages of uncertainty, and its suc cess is now assured. It will be a credit to Cedartown, and onr people can be proud of it. Of conrse, the more peo ple work for it, the better it will be,and everybody should do all in their power to help the ladies of the Park Associa tion in their laudable efforts to beau tify the city’s property. THE JURY LIST. THE JURY COMMISSION DRAWS GOOD JURORS For t.lie Approaching Term of Polk Superior Court. Messrs. Wm. Bradford, Jas. S. King, Chas. A. Wood, Whit K. Russell, H. N. YanDevander and O. W. Harris, the six worthy gentlemen who compose onr board of Jury Commissioners, had an ardnons task on their hands last week in making ' the biennial revision of Polk’s jnry lists. They completed their labors Friday, concluding by drawing the Grand and Traverse juries for the fall term of Polk Superior Court, which will convene this year on the first Monday in September. The lists are as follows:— The snrvivors of the gallant old 1st Ga. Cavalry, to which Polk contributed so many of her brave sons, held a, most enjoyable rennion in Borne yesterday. Hon. J. W. Maddox, the Seventh’s pop ular Congressman,delivered the address of welcome, arid the “old vets” partook of a fine barbecne. Among the veter ans who went from Polk were Messrs. B. Crabb, W. R. Beck, J. A. Wilson, W. Crabb, T. A. McCormick, J. L. Branch (surgeon of Co. A,) J. M. and P. W.-MoCnrry, A. S. McGregor, J. A. Cambron and W. M. Soott. Mr. Jnd Crabb, whose gallant father organized Co. A Of the 1st Georgia, is an honorary member of the veterans’ association, and attended the rennion. Mr. J. A. Wynn, of Rome—and Cedartown, is the clever secretary of the association. HA.MLE1 ITEMS. trie A much needed rain fell here Tues day. Mr. A. H. McBryde made a business > to Rome Monday. I, C. Kmgsberry, candidate for Tax Receiver from this end of the county, in Cedartown the first of this week. Mrs. Will Randall and children are spending a few days with relatives in Rome. Miss Kate Bryant,who lias been vis iting her sister, Mrs. J. M. Drummond ’ Allatoona.returned home Saturday. Messrs. Morgan Wingard and Battle McBryde attended the Street Fair in Rome last week. Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Randall, of Ce dartown, were visiting this section last week. Two of Cedartown’s popular young men, Messrs. Charley Pittman and Ed Huntington, attended services at Bethlehem Thursday night. Mr. W. S. Shiflett, of Cedartown,was the guest of friends at Aragon Satur day. He was accompanied home by his daughter, Mrs. David C. Randall. A new machine for harvesting corn has recently been purchased by A. H. farmer of this McBryde, a progressive section. It is called a shredder, and its 1 functions are to cut and bind the corn into bundles. After the corn is dried and hauled to the barn, the shedder threshes it from the ear, then cuts the stalk and fodder into pieces and packs them into bales like hay. Thus with the stalk, shuck and fodder quantity of forage is saved which is generally wasted. We bope.tbis machine will give per fect satisfaction to its purchaser, as we bear quite a nice little sum is invested ' i it. The revival which had been in pro gress a week at Bethlehem, closed Sunday night. f ■ It was conducted by Rev. W. A. Harris, of Rockmart, and wasproduc- tive of great Spiritual awakening among tile menH'yrs of the church, to hich thirlyy^Tfie new names were added.^JETvery service was well at- , great interest and feeling was nifested throughout the meeting-.

Some ex cellent work is being done by .the city on this thoroughfare, and splen did approaches to the bridge across Tan Yard Branch are .being con structed. Street improvement of the permanent and lasting kind like the work on Main sfreet should be fol lowed up all over (own, and the bad places on the roads leading to the country could he well improved with similar methods. Mr. V. B. Scannell, a good (firmer of CoDb county, was here a few days last week as tne guest of his cousin, Dr. J. P. Greer. Mr. Scannell was looking over the field with a view to purchasing a farm near town and running a dairy. He will find here both good farms and a splendid mar ket for liis dairy products. The farmers of Buncombe district— and there are no better in the county— gave a big picnic Saturday, which was greatly enjoyed. Hon. j. S, Davitte was master of ceremonies and intro duced Col. R. W. Everett, who de livered an address. The Etowah mineral property in Bartow and Cherokee counties has been sold to a New York syndicate by Capt. .J. J. Calhoun, the receiver. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly,a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: “I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lnngs became hard ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit np in bed. Nothing helped me. I GBAUD JURORS.
