The Circus a Big Thing and Bringsa GREAT CROWD TO TOWN- The Brilliant Pageant, the Fine Me nagerie and Splendid Perform 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 dine Flat amble joyfully down the 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 the first pin for its erection to the tearing down of the big canvas there is an interest in the show •and its belongings, and the small THE .YEWS AND COURANT. boy even wants to see the first and last of it as found in the loading and the unloading of the cars A sw'eet little girl seeing the parade, the first she had seen, said ‘ papa, pease I want one of those calomels,” and later she said “I 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 quick and don’t leave—” and the big baud just then drowns out the rest of the sentence, and probably' fortunately • “I’ll faint directly, what a scent there is about these animals,” says a hustling piece of feminity as she hesi tates a little and then proceeds with a half-hearted glance at the first cages and then stops with fixed interest on the man who strokes the spotted velvety head of a young leopard which ducks its head like a cat responsively to the caress. Tittle Mary and Johnny who is with her she has missed and turns round just in time to rescue them from the awful fate of being picked up by the elephants who is thrusting his snout around for small, objects. After a look in each of the cages with a special lingering in front of the tiny, clean, amiable looking sacred cattle she moves on as all seem going to the big entrance and all seem moving at the sound of the music.

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 age of not more than four feet was WAIST FLANNELS. Fancy kind, real Frenchy, all wool, part wool, cotton. They are made in every conceiv able way for the construction of shirtwaist, and there is no ma terial too expensive for waists this 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. SPECIAL SICK SALE BUSY SELLING. Cut prices strike a popular chord. They are so reasonable for the quality. Fancy silks of guaran teed 1.00 quality being closed out at 50c. —now is your chance —be quick. 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.

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.” Jas.
