ravages ol time, the thinning
out of the ranks by death, thoughts
f the Enropeon war aud the Rich
mond reunion impelled some one the
~ther day to ask that question. And
then several miDds got busy, first
guessing off hand and then thinkkg
over the names of those left.
Some said there weren’t over fif
teen, seme said eighteen aud some
said twenty. Several lists were got
up and that containing the
largest number went up to the num
ber of forty-eight. This is believed
to be about as full as could be pre
pared: r still there may. be some
omitted. Among those figuring in
a i,y active wav in army affairs and
the following are given:

These men, as a rule are of the
younger set in the army, some of
them being below the age limit of
enlistment when the war was on, but
as far as services of these were lent
they feel they are entitled to as
much credit as those older and di
rectly subject to their country’s call.
There was Vesta Harwell, who was
a drummer boy in the Fortieth
; Georgia regiment. There was Frank
Watkins, who was and liter and saw
service to such extent as his age and
tlm circumstances warranted. Co’.
George Aubrey was a colonel’s or
derly and proudly besat a steed as
attending his faithful commanding
officer. The services of the winter
were for three years, though only
eleven at enter;ng services in cavalry
and included services as regiment,
marker for eighteen months and
then in the ranks. The rest are of
the faithful private and official rank
and file

WE SHOULD GO FORWARD.
With words that burn,
At every turn,
We’d cite our chances all —
In language rare
.
And answer Progress’ call.
Opportunity is here none too often.
The old idea of carrying a rock in one end of the sack to balance the grist
when going to mill is too crude for this day.
It was our learned president, Woodrow Wilson, who said there is nothing
done today as it was twenty years ago.
The towns and cities that hang to primitive methods let other towns go by
them and the people wonder why others should call them a back number.
It was Davy Crockett who said, “Be sure you’re right, then go ahead.” Ihe
Davy Crocketts of today are among our best human assets.
The n an who learns to enjoy the best benefits and conveniences of the day,
next learns that he can’t do without them.
This may be one of the direct or indirect causes of the hard times, but it is
the truth, and humanity will continue to be humanity.
We remember a little experience once prospecting for a location. They told
us, “we have water works here but no sewerage, and we have typhoid fever all over
the town.” That was enough to repel and kill all desires for locating.
That was a level town and if Cartersville were such, what has never come but
may come, would have come twenty or more years ago—some epidemic of dis
r• ‘ t
ease.
Physicians, if they were actuated by mercenary motives without the good of
the humanity at heart, might favor conditions that brought disease, but thanks to
their manhood and honesty, while combating disease as it develops, they try to pre
vent it. It is safe to say that there is not a physician in Cartersville that does not
favor sewerage.
They have made the laws of hygiene a great part of their professional studies,
and know the dangers that lurk in a germ laden atmosphere.
The effect of our delay in taking care of the polluted waste water has been to
invite and bring into our midst at least one permanent settler. He is called Amos
Keeter —you all know him. We don’t want his sort. It is hoped he will not be
followed by one Typhus.
We want now to invite that human quantity thkt achieves and develops ad
dition to our citizenship that puts the cause of progress on the move. Are we
up with our sister towns in those advantages that allure? Let us see.
We are all right as far as we go, but two things we do need—that is sewerage
and street paving.
We have been talking with several alert and observing traveling men in the
last few days, asking them about the comparative improvements in Cartersville and
other towns of this section. They said—and let’s keep this quiet if we fall down
in our efforts—“ You’re behind.” They said they didn’t kn ow of a town of 2,300
in Georgia, except Cartersville and one other, without a sewerage system.
Carrollton is right up to the front with all conveniences, including seweiage
and paved streets and sidewalks. Cedartown has all these and the white way.
She has several miles of concrete curbing, cupped at the side for water drainage.
Rome is inviting in all respects with one of the prettiest business streets in the
south. Marietta is without street paving but has the other utilities. Dalton
has sewerage, paved streets and the other utilities. Ihe same may be said of
Gainesville.
As we have said, sewerage will be a self supporting venture.
We have started the ball rolling, the commissioners are to the front with a
proposition. Now let the people keep the ball rolling to the end for what we
should have.
