Additional Forces to the 3,000 Men Now at Work to
Be Put on Between Cartersville and Wetmore.
The Louisville and Nashville offici
all_v announces that the Jellico-Knpx
ville line, being completed, through
serv iee between Knoxville, Louisville
and Cincinnati will be established
\pril 9. This is significant in that it
shows that work is being rushed south
ward. with the view of opening up
through service between Atlanta and
Cincinnati, which is advertised for
t jj- • ,ming fall and promised by head
quarters at Louisville by the first of
he new year.
A railroad man who reached here
rt st night stated that the work be
ween Etowah and Knoxville was
iractically completed, so far as the
'rtiding was concerned. Etowah is one
uiln north of Wetmore, and while at
,resent it is nothing more than a name
, r a few shacks in the woods, it is
he intention of the Louisville and
sasliville to establish a round house
,t this point, and possibly shops be
ijes. It is at this point that the new
oad starts on its way to Cartersville
1 (jeorgia. Between 2,000 and 3,000
tborers are now at work on this part
f the new line between Cartersville
nl Etowah, and now th" the grad
[.r is completed between Etowah and
noxville, it is expected that many
. w jjangs of men will be put to work
ongthe surveyed line leading to
irtersville.
It is so reported that still another
rce will be brought to this part of
e work consisting of men who have
>en at work on the line between Jel
w and Knoxville. As double daily
rviro is set for this part of the Lon
ville and Nashville for April 9, this
ill, of course, permit of the transfer
rig of a large number of workmen
the line running toward Carters
lle. From this it will be seen that
le most strenuous kind of efforts in
irrying to Atlanta and the estab
ihment of through service to the
>rth are being made.

A NEW STRUCTURE.
Methodist Decide Not to Use Old Building in
Contemplated Work.
It is gratifying news to learn that
the building committee of the Meth
odist church have decided to remove
the old building entirely and build a
new structure on hiodern and up-to
date lines. This was decided on sev
eral days ago and the architect is
now engaged in drawing the plans
for a commodious modern edifice.
It was at first thought best to re
tain a part of the old building and
the plans were drawn accordingly.
Under this arrangement the building
would have cost about $12,000, but
after the committee took up the work
a id fully investigated the matter t.’ e
conclusion was reached that it would
be better to remove the old house en
tirely and build an entirely new
structure along the latest ideas in
church construction. The new build
ing will cost something over $15,000
and work on it will begin just as soon
as a'l the details can be arranged.

THE NEWS APPRECIATED.
Lady in Distant Locality Writes of Paper

My Dear Mr.Freeman: —It is always
a pleasure to tell pleasant and pleas
urable things. Then too, I am
proud of ourgood i>aper, The Car-
TKBSViLLiK Sews, Of a number of
good County weeklies I know 1 con
sideritby far the best. Thinking
you would.en.uV it, I quote from a
jitter receive , 1 tqw months ago from
a relative now resluing in a distant
state. She was born in Georgia and
spent her childhood, ladyhood and
the first year of her married life in
this county. A year or so over
thirty years ago her husband took her
to make anew home in the west.
You will note that the paper was
missed (I assume it was by many)
when it was delayed on account of
breakage of the large power press, as
I have learned, and the time it
was being moved into its handsome
new home. The quotation is:
‘■‘And now I will do last what I in
tended to write first —thank you for
continuing to send me The Cah-
TERSVIJLLK NEWS.”
“Whether written first or last I thank
you many times for your thoughtful

haruly realized how much I appre
ciated it until failed to make its ap
pearance for a week or two. I look
forward to its coming and first scan
its pages to see if there is any men
