IT HAS COME

The Circus a Big Thing and

GREAT CROWD TO TOWN-
The Brilliant Pageant, the Fine Me

ance Make up Rare Fund.
The circus has come and gone.
The big tent with its flapping and
heaving surface has been removed
and breezes play freely and lightly
over the great space where it stood.
The blare and trill and thump and
tinkle of the circus baud are now
but lingering cadences and the
glimpse of the caged animals is but
a faded print of momentary inter
est.
Circus day, of all days, is the
most unique. It is a day when
people meet on a level and are ail
•one. Whether viewing the street
parade or beholding the niinble
figures, in their artful and daring
evolutions under the tent, the glit
tering passementary on costliest
fabric rubs congenially against
plainest homespun and modern
prince and peasant knock elbows
amicably in the common shove.
Thomas and Jane from Musca

street with hands joined and Mr.
Wayupp and Miss Highjinks from
off Society Row tumble over them
to get a peep at the elephants as
they pass. From the driving of

A sw'eet little girl seeing the
parade, the first she had seen, said
‘ papa, pease I want one of those

didn’t uit to see the cantelopes.”
An old fellow from a remote cor
ner of the county went down among
the crowd wanting to know ‘‘when
and whar does the dress parade
come about?” The little one who
never got a blissful glimpse of the
panoply of the canyass enclosure
was but a little more eager than
them man of years, who had “seen
the thing a hundred times or more,”
to get inside, but the latter alone
lingered but a moment to hear the
speech of the man at the front of
the side show who shouted “Here
is your last chance before the big
show opens. The performance
will begin right now\ Girls be

WE WANT A
NEW DEPOT.
Citizens Ask of Railroad Commis
sioners for a
NEW PASSENGER STRUCTURE-
The Present Freight and Passen
ger Depot Is 111 Suited to the
Needs of the Traveling Public-
A committee composed of citi
zens of Cartersville, and headed by
Mayor F. M. Ford, went down to
Atlanta last Friday to lay before
the railroad commissioners the
facts in regard to the needs of the
public for anew passenger depot
for the W. & A. Railway in this
city.
The committee, besides Mayor
Ford, was composed of the follow
ing: Messrs. W. H. Milner, and
J. W. Knight, Maj. C. H. Smith,
Cols. John T. Norris aud A. S.
Johnson.
The commissioners heard the
plea as presented by Col. Johnson
but deferred its decision in the
matter until another time, and also
agreed to hold a conference in this
city with the authorities and peo
ple and the authorities of the W.
& A. Railroad Thursday, October
3d-
The plea made was that the ar
rangements for getting on and off
trains were wholly inadequate to
the needs of the people. The
switching tracks running by the
depot caused cars to be standing on
tracks where the passengers were
Ito get on and off the passenger
1 trains, and usually a narrow pass

FLANNELS.

They are made in every conceiv

season—so expensive are some of
them the w'aist is called by other
names. Our collection is <titrac
tive, and prices cover the entire
range from 5 to 25 in cotton, and
25 to 1.00 in all wool.

left for those .going in and those
coming off the train to pass each
other, w'hich rendered the situa
tion one of inconvenience and dan
ger; that the waiting rooms were
not commodious enough for the
passengers aud that they were
without washing and toilet rooms,
and other necessary conveniences.
Nothing w'ould meet the demand
of the case but a separate passen
ger depot properly arranged.
The grounds just south of the
E. & W. depot and next to the
park is the location that would be
most desirable for anew depot.
This belongs to the W. & A. Rail
road aud is accessible and suitable
iu every way.
Anew passenger depot at this
place has long been a need and it
is doubtful if a single station on
the road has as poor depot accom
modations as Cartersville, when
the size of the town aud its impor
tance to the road are considered.

Events.

tertainer of a high class and great
merit fully made.

song, music and story, ana Mr.
Bingham will demonstrate his ver
satile powers in a way that will be
startlingly convincing.
His character personations are

ful and pleasing.

MASS MEETING AT CASSVILLE-
Citizens Meet and Consider New
Court House Scheme.
Whereas, there has been levied
by the county commissioners of
Bartow county a tax of five dollars
on the thousand on the taxable
property of said county for the
purpose of building a court house
in said county; and,
Whereas the financial condition
of the people is such that they are
unable to bear such taxation —
therefore at a mass meeting of the
citizens of the sth district of said
county this day held the following
resolution was unanimously adop
ted, and full attendance under said
resolution urged.
“Resolved, That the people of
the several militia districts of Bar
tow county do meet at the court
house in Cartersville in mass meet
ing on Tuesday, October Ist, 1901,
at 12 m , for the purpose of con
sidering the important question of
seeking some relief from said tax.”
