Ur Foleys kidniycure Make* Kidney* and Bladder Right ••We’ll be glad to come back Just whenever Cedartown will invite us,” waa the sentiment echoed and re echoed by the visiting firemen as they took their departure after the big tournament here last week. The North Georgia & Alabama Vol unteer Firemen’s Association never held a more successful nor pleasant tournament in Its history than that which was held hero, and Cedartown never had the pleasure of entertain ing a larger crowd. And while it was the largest, crowd ever assembled here, it. was uIho the moot orderly. The contests all passed off with the best of good feeling, there was -an entire absence of the friction and kicking so often manifested, and the visitors were profuse in their praises of Cedartown’s hospitality, which was not lacking from the time they were met at the train by the Reception Committee until the last farewell was v.aved at the homeward bound visi tors. And the tournament was u good one from start to finish. The parade was a fine one, and the ornate floats upled by the Queen and Sponsor 1 their attendants, and the beau tifully decorated private vehicles, were tits of interest and beauty. Rome ivod the prize of $20 awarded to visiting company having the largest number of men In uniform in the parade. THE RACES. The Cedartown firemen took the lion’s share of the prizes, with Rome a good second. Our boys entered on ly one of the hand-reel contests—the Shoo Fly,—not wishing to “keep all the money at home" and at the same time not wishing anyone to have the impression that they had forgotten their old time knack of carrying off the championship belt in such races. And whert it conies to horses, every body who saw our noble blacks and the superb manner In which they were handled by Driver Lynch, picked them out as the winners. Then, too, wo had a running team to back up the horses that go about the business just like clock-work, and who would have won every two-horse race but for an unfortunate accident in ihe Siamese— the race everybody was absolutely cer tain they would win. The contests started off nicely Wed nesday by Mr. Wm. England winning the foot race for Cedartown in 10 1-5 seconds. Tho prlfce was $20, and the second—$5—was won by Lambert, of Pratt City. In the ladder-climbing contest Cald well, of Rome, won the first prize,$20. Mr. R. Van Wood carried off money, $10. for Cedartown. Cedartown won the Shoo Fly. the only hand reel raee our hoys entered, in 18 1-10 seconds; prize, $80. Rome took second money, $10. in 18 1-5. There were only two entries for the Chief’s horse race—Gadsden ami Rome. Chief A. W. Woodliffe, of Gadsden, won the prize of $25 In 20 seconds. Cedartown won the one-horse wagon ice in 41 seconds, taking the $50 prize. Gadsden came next seconds. This closed the first day’s races, and gave the boys a good appetite for the big barbecue at the Fair grounds, which was certainly enjoyed to the utmost. Thursday morning was tak^n up witty the hand reel races, in which Cedartown did not participate. The Yesults were as follows; — Grab Contest—Rome. 1st prize, $35; Pratt City, 2d, $15. 100 Yard Reel Raee—Pratt City, 1st. $75; Gadsden, 2d, $50. 100 yard Siamese—Rome. 1st, $50; Pratt City, 2d, $25. The big horse races came in the afternoon and were witnessed by thousands of interested spectators. It was a magnificent sight to see those splendid teams come racing down the track, and to witness the skillful work of the running teams. Our running team was composed of Messrs. R. V. Wood, Felix Bowman, J. H. Philpot, Howard Benton, Win. Houseal, C. A. Collins. Thornley West, Emmett Whitfield and Wm. Engiund, —find a better never “came down the pike." . The great race of the tournament was the hltch-ln-house wagon race.for which the first prize was $100 and which was won by Cedartown in 61 1-5 seconds. Rome, won second money, $50. Cedartown also won the Champion ship wagon race, adding $70 to her prize winnings. Rome came sec ond, $80. In the Siamese wagon race, which Cedartown was confident of win ning, a couple of unfortunate mis haps threw us Into second place, with only $30 in prize money. Rome won first., $70, in 85 seconds. Our good friends from Gadsden played in hard luck, being obliged to come over with a substitute team on account of the lameness of one of their horses. Cordele sent a delegation of six firemen to witness the tournament and attend the Georgia Firemen’s As sociation meeting: Chief A. P. Ham mett, Secretary-Treasurer G. L. Rtle3, E. S. Thompson. R. L. Williams. J. B. McKay and M. A. Walker. A special train Thursday morning brough a big crowd of interested sight - seers from Carrollton. Acworth sent over a clever delega tion of firemen, but they are newly organized and did not enter the races. The Rockmart. Rome and Gadsden bands furnished excellent music for the parade and at Intervals during the tournament Mr. E. J. Hudnall. of Pratt City, was elected President; Mr. M. R. Striplln, of Talladega, Vice President; Mr. Frank Manley, of Dalton, Secre tary and Treasurer. The next tour nament will be held In Birmingham under‘the augpiiies of the Pratt City department, and It was decided to admit paid as well as volunteer fire departments to the contests. The address of Hon. J. D. McNeill, of Fayetteville. N. C., Thursday even ing at the Lyceum was most Interest ing. He is president of both the National and the North Carolina Vol- icond ’ unteer Firemen’s Associations, and spoke from the standpoint of a prac tical fire-fighter. Following his excellent address, a state organization was perfected, and Col. Carden C. Bunn was honored by election as the first President of the organization. Mr. Frrfnk Manley, of Dalton, was chosen as Secretary and Treasurer. The tournament ball of the Cotillion Club was the closlug event of the festivities, and was a brilliant success. The music was furnished by the famous Wurms’ Orchestra of Atlanta, and was greatly appreciated by dancers and spectators alike. It was a great tournament, and was greatly enjoyed by both home folks and visitors. The visiting firemen proved themselves a clever lot of good fellows, whom it was a genuine pleas ure to entertain. The various officials and com mittees of the city and the Fire De partment did their duty splendidly in making the tournament a success, and are entitled to the thanks of our people.

New York recently reached out and annexed her suburbs, Atlanta and Birmingham are actively agitating a movement in the same direction, and- uot to be outdone—now comes Cedar- town with a proposition to Increase her boundaries so as to take in the territory and population properly be longing to the town. Elsewhere in this issue we publish a notice of local legislation to the ef fect that a bill will be introduced at the approaching session of the General Assembly to extend the corporate lim its one mile in every direction from the center of the Intersection of Main street and West avenue. Our pres ent limits are irregular in shape, and if uniformly extended in accordance Ith this bill would give us a popu lation of about 6,000 Instead of the less than 3,000 shown in the last census. The fate of the bill will depend very largely, of course, on the attitude of the people and property-owners whom it is thus contemplated to bring in. in return for somewhat Increased tax ation, they would receive school facil ities,police protection and other needed advantages which Greater Cedartown would be under obligations to give, and the municipality would in turn receive the benefit of Increased reve nues. It seems to us a good proposition for both the “ins" and “outs.” Don’t think so too? If so, join us in ! the shout— ’Rah for Greater Cedartown! Col. C. P. Goodyear, an eminent j nglneer of Brunswick, is urging the roject of building a canal from Ma con to the Tennessee river by way of Atlanta. Well, we are in favor of it. puvided Big Cedar creek is used as part of the system. Seriously, though, the project is worthy of careful at- !on, and it would do more than ai.ything else to solve our transporta tion problems. Hon. Walter W. Brooks, of Rome, gave $50,000 to Foreign Missions last week at the Southern Baptist conven tion in Richmond, Va. He had pre viously given $5,000 to Missions, and has given several thousands to Shorter College in Rome. He is one Rome’s noblest and most useful citi zens, and his generous philanthropy marks him as one of Georgia's most liberal and public-spirited men. LAKE CREEK NE IVS. Maj. J. A. Blance informs us that a recent decision of the Federal Court of Claims in Washington opens the way for securing money claims by all citizens who have Indian blood of the original Cherokee tribe. The farmers of Polk have been greatly delayed this spring on account of the incessant rains, and many have re-planted their cotton fields on ac count of the cold weather. Notwith standing the extra expense and work, they have gone ahead to repair th» damage and have been “busy as bees" this week plowing and planting. The equestrian statue of Gun John B. Gordon will be unveiled Saturday In Atlanta on the northeast come; of the capltol grounds. It will be wit nessed by one of the largest gather ings of Georgians that ever assembled in Atlanta, and the demonstration will be attended by the biggest military and civic parades that have honored mer'ory of any public man of the 1 state. BIG ORE DEVELOPMENTS, It has long been known that there a vast quantity of high grade iron e in Collard Valley, but the absence of running water for the washers has prevented mining it to any extent. Now. however, this difficulty Is to be obviated, and we may expect to see great developments in that, vicinity. The Quinn Furnace Co., of Gadsden, Ala., has ledSed the 360-acre planta tion of Mrs. R. Gammon, and will sink a series of four or more wells at once in order to secure the necessary water. In the meantime, a branch of the Sea board will be built to the mines from a point pjust east of Wimberly Hill to secure, shipping facilities. r. C. ,F. Miller, a veteran iron man, is In charge of the work as su perintendent, and he is enthusiastic over the outlook for the project, the success of which means much to this section. 0-0-0 Messrs. Linton Sparks and Daniel Baker have leased a part of the plan tation of Mr. B. W. Hunt, on the Cave Spring road, and erected a washer. They will develop this valuable prop erty energetically, shipping over the Southern Railway branch running out to that point. Recent agitation in Lite Insurance circles demonstrated its strength. No other institution could have the bom bardment it received. I ami offer ing some unique contracts. J. R. BARBER. Agt.

A 2d Lieutenancy in the United States army is a very rice berth for a young man to occupy—till he can get another. Mr. Hunter Harris, popular Cedartown boy, cabled last week from the Philippines, where he iu stationed with his regiment.that he has just successfully passed the examination for promotion from 2d to 1 ,t Lieutenant. His many friends here congratulate him. and hope his rue in the army will be rapid. The Standard received a pleasant call Thursday from Mr. Ray p. Smith, the Assistant Chief of the Anniston Fire Department, who expressed deep regret that one of the Anniston papers published the canard that the team from that city did not attend the tour nament because the prizes were in sufficient—w'hen, as a matter of fact, Cedartown offered twice as much in prizes as Anniston did when the tour nament was held there. The boys w-anted to come, but could not ar range to do so. , Mr. Frank Bryant and family, who live near Byrds Station, were in our community Sunday. The tournament in your city was enjoyed very much by all who at tended. Dr. John Garrard, who has been attending college at Augusta the past seven months, returned home last week.

Epilepsy Fits St. Vitus Dance Are nerve diseases, and unless checked, lead to destruction of both mind and body.
