Peary’s Latest Achievements-
Mr. Peary’s sledge journey in
the spring ®f last year resulted in
another most ecnspicuous addition
to our knowledge of Arctic geog
raphy. Greenland is the largest
island in the world. With the
neighboring islands that geog
raphically pertain to it,this Green
land land mass comprises proba
bly nearly half of the total area of
,1. to Air.ic .If . it! uto
fix the limits of this enormois ter*
! utcry, and this is the work that
j Peary has done. He has surveyed
the northern edge of the Greenland
j archipelago, and it may now be
j mapped with approximate accuracy
The coasts of Greenland, extend
ing for some thousands of miles,
{ have now been outlined except the
I comparatively short stretch be
| tween Independence Bay, discov
ered by Peary nine years ago, and
Cape Bismarck, on the east coast.
The enormous task of determining
the shape and extent of Greenland,
in progress since the Norsemen
discovered the island nearly one
thousand years ago, is completed.
Peary’s contributions to this
work have included the survey of
a part of the unknown coast of
Melville Bay on the west coast,the
determination ol the extreme north
west coast and of the entire north
and northeast coasts as far south
as Independence Bay, and the rec
tification of earlier surveys, mak
ing important changes in our map
ping of the long, narrow channel
leading through Smith Sound to
the part of the Arctic Ocean wash
ing the northern shores of Green
land. In addition to his coast
work,.he has traveled 24000 miles
on the inland ice cap, defining its
northern termination, and has
twice crossed Grinnell Land, ex
tending further south the mapping
of its western shores. Two ex
plorers have attained a higher lat
itude in the landless eastern part
of the Arctic Ocean; but whether
or not Peary succeeds next year in
equaling or surpassing the ap
proach to the pole made in the
Eastern Hemisphere, he will al
ways be known as the pioneer who
who has made far larger additions
to our knowledge of the extreme
northern lands and of the most
northern inhabitants of the world
than any other explorer.
Married-
Again the wedding bells ring for
one of Bartow’s daughters.
On last Thursday as the mist
hovered about the mountain sides
around old LaFayette, and the
clouds gathered and thickened and
shut in the glorious sunlight, that
ittle valley and town was over
hung by a threatening gloom that
darkened the heavens and made
leavy the ethereal realm. But the
smoky canopy was not dense en
ough to overshadow the two souls
that on that morning beat in uni
son, the hands that on that morn
ing clasped in confidence as the
minister said, “I pronounce you
man and wife.”
As Father Time tipped the cir
cle at 9:30 a. m., the little group of
riends and relatives gathered at
the home of Mr. S. Venable to wit
ness the marriage of Miss Mary L.
Venable and Mr. William Judson
Shattuck, of LaFayette, Rev. S. P.
Wiggins, pastor of the Methodist
church officiating.
The minister was seated in the
center of the darkened parlor,
where the guests had formed a cir
cle about the room and were wait
ing to see the happy pair made
one.
Miss Lillian Venable and Col. J.
P. Shattuck first entered, then sep
arated and parsed on either side,
as they entered Bro. Wiggin’s rose,
stepped back and leaned on his
chair. Next came the happy cou
ple marching to strains that only
God and the angels can play, and
paused in front of the minister.and
after a beautiful and impressive
ceremony they received congrat
ulations and best wishes, after
which they repaired to the home
of the groom’s father at Bronco,
where they partook of a beounti
ful and elegant dinner.
The bride wore a lovely suit of
grey Venetian cloth and black pic
ture hat and looked beautiful as
she leaned on the arm of him who
is now her protector and keeper
‘‘in sickness or in health.”
Miss Venable is one of Bartow’s
daughters, and is a fair represent
ative of her county. She is a wo
man with many womanly qualities
and unusual nobility of character,
and will ever be true to the man
she loves.
Mr. Shattuck is bookkeeper for
the firm of Warthen & Sparks, is a
noble young man with fine busi
ness qualities and is worthy of the
jewel he has won.
They were the recipients of many
handsome presents.
May God’s richest blessings ever
be theirs.

Our Patriotic Governor.
Mr. J. H. Vivion has received
the following letter from Governor
Candler, which breathes the true
spirit of loyalty and patriotism:
September 19, 1901.
J. H. Vivion, Esq., Cartersville,
Ga. —My Dear Sir:—l thank you
for yours of the 7th inst. I felt
greatly shocked at the attempted
assassination of the president, and
when called upon by a reporter for
an expression of opinion, I gave
him the little interview to which
you refer. It came from my heart.
The assassination of any ruler is
a great calamity, the assassination
of any president of this republic is
a blow at human liberty and Am
erican institutions, but the assassi
nation of such a man as President
McKinley was not only a great
calamity and a blow at American
institutions and human liberty
throughout the world, but it was
a crime so heinous that words can
not describe it. It is gratifying to
me to know that good men and wo
men throughout Georgia and the
country are in full sympathy with
me in my horror of this dastardly
crime. Very truly yours,
A. D. Candlkr.
Asleep in Jesus-
Lena Nell, only child of Melvin
and Pearl Jones, was born near
Cartersville, Ga., November Bth,
1899, and died September 13th,
1901.
In innocence she came into the
material world, and, having en
twined herself as a sweet and pre
cious object around the hearts of
devoted parents and loving rela
tives, in innocence, she likewise
took her flight to realms of celes
tial bliss.
The loving and tender devotion
of those most dear were helpless to
save our precious darling or retard
for one moment the appointed
hour. She is not dead but gone on
before to join the triumphant host
and sing the songs of heavenly
strains of sweetest music, holding
the gate ajar for papa and mama
Grandmother.
A Dog Fall.
Judge Fite heard 14th Saturday,
the injunction case between the
Cartersyille Telephone Company
and the Southern Bell Telephone
and Telegraph Cos. A good deal
of legal sparring back and forth
occurred between Messrs. Akin &
Akin for the Cartersville Company
and Mr. John T. Norris for the
Southern Bell. The judge did not
decide the main questions, namely
the validity of the franchise grant
ed to the Southern Bell, and ex
pressed no opinion on that ques
tion. It seems that no process
was attached to the copy served on
defendant and for this reason Judge
Fite held that the injunction could
not be granted in the present state
of the pleadings. The fight there
fore resulted in a dog-fall, and the
main contention between the par
ties is still to be fought over.
A Sustaining I>iet,
These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by ibe
sunstroke as If the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people whose systems are poorly
sustained; and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full eflect of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety ot calling this medicine some
thing besides a biac'd purifier and tonic,
—say, a sustaining diet. It makes it
much easier to bear the beat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will, without anv
doubt, avert, much sickness at this time
of year.
CITIZENS !#EFf
And G. V- VoSoip to Tnoir row fit
i y Qoith.
A meeting of citizens of Cai ters
ville and Bartow county was held
at the court house Saturday to ex
press publicly the common sorrow
felt at the death of the president of
the United States. Col. J. G. M.
Montgomery was made chairman
and Col. Paul l 4 ' Akin secretary.
A committee consisting of Maj.
A. M. Foute, Judge John W. Akin,
Col. John H. Wikle and Mr. W. L.
Goodwin are appointed to draft
resolution, which were adopted
and were as follows:
Whereas, We have heard with
profound sadness, of the death
the president of this great country,
the Jesuit of an assassin’s bullet.
And, whereas, by reason of his
kindness, conservatism, wisdom,
and justice, he has endeared him
self to the whole people, north and
south.
Therefore,
Resolved, That we condemn,
with strongest emphasis, the das
tardly crime of his murderer and
the infamous teachings which in
spired it.
2. That in the death of William
McKinley, president of tlie United
States, the country has lost a good
man, an upright citizen, a Christian
gentleman and an honest, beloved
chief executive.
3. That the tenderest love and
sympathy of this people are ex
tended Mrs. McKinley and her
family in this hour of their deep
affliction.
Death of Little Agnes Lowry-
Little Agnes, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. C. Lowry, was born
November 21st, 1900, and died
September 15th, 1901.
How sad ’twould be this dreary earth
to roam
Without the memory of some child’s
pure love,
No little beckoning hand to guide ns
home
To waiting ones above.
A once bright and happy home
is now in sad and bitter tears, for
a precious one from it has gone, a
sweet little girl of ten months —
gone from her father who held h- r
so dear, and from a mother’s kind
and loving care. The little sister
too, how she will miss her, and
wish for little Aggie so often each
day.
But sweet little Agnes has gone to
heaven
To dwell with the angels bright and
fair,
Gone, gone a little while, but not for
ever,
For ere long we’ll meet her there.
Tog'v- lit le Agi-es up it is so
hard, but oh! God! I pray thee
spare tha dear ones left to cheer
and brighten their home, and lead
them safe to the land of the blest,
where no pain, no sorrow, no part
ing eyer come. Weep not dear
ones, for my little darling rests
“Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His loving breast.”
Aunt Fannie.
Rev- Alex W- Bealer at Grantville.
Grantville, Ga., Sept. 17. —Rev.
Alex W. Bealer, of Cartersville,
preached at the Baptist church here
Sunday, both at the morning aid
evening hours. His sermons were
both able and eloquent, and dem
onstrated the fact that Mr. Bealer
is a man of profound thought, and
a power in the pulpit.
His theme for the morning hour
was the “Magnetism of Christ,”
and he had the undivided attention
of his large and intelligent audi
ence for one hour or more.
Mr. Bealer is quite popular her®,
both as a man and minister, and
his many admirers always extend
to him a hearty and enthusiastic
greeting when he visits our town.
A Ministers’ Good Work.
“I had a severe attack of bilious
colic, got a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, took two doses
and was entirely cured,” says Rev.
A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kansas.
“My neighbor across the street
was sick for over a week, had two
or three bottles of medicine from
the doctor. He used them for
three or four days without relief,
then called in another doctor who
treated him for some days and
gave him no relief, so discharged
him. I went over to see him next
morning. He said his bowels
were in a terrible fix, that they
had been running off so long that
it was almost bloody flux. I asked
him if he had tried Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea rem
edy and he said, ‘No.’ I went
home and brought him my bottle
and gave him one dose; told him
to take another dose in fifteen or
twenty min ites if he did not find
relief, but he took no more and
was entirely cured. I think it the
best medicine I have ever tried.
Forsale by Hall and Greene.
Henry Braydon, Harris, N. C.,
says: “I took medicine 20 years
for asthma but one bottle of One
Minute Cough Cure did me more
good than anything else during
that time. Best Cough Cure.”
