Gus Fite, of Bartow county
would make a better governor of
Georgia than any one yet mention
ed for the place. —Jackson Argus.
Why not build a bush arbor
court house for Bartow county.
That would give the people who
visit this section an impression
that this was a progressive county.
the mass MBKTING.
A good crowd of citizens from
different sections of the county
met in mass meeting at the court
house on Tuesday for the purpose
of giving expressions to their
views on the building of anew
court house.
Some of the promoters of the
meeting desired to seek some relief
from the direct tax, and favored an
extension of the tima in which to
pay for the court house by issuing
bond* or otherwise, and a resolu
tion was offered by Mr. M. L.
Johnson, carrying into effect this
idea, but a substitute was offered
by Dr. T. H. Baker, and during
the discussion, which was quite
lengthy, the greater part of those
who hap assembled left the court
house before the vote was taken,
and the substitute was carried by
a vote of only 43 to 28 against
There are some people in this
world who are opposed to any
thing and everything, and are al
ways ready to fight any improve
ment it matters not in what form
it may come up, It is hardly pos
sible that there ever was a court
house built by the unanimous con
sent of those who were taxed to
build it, and the commissioners of
Bartow county knew when they
advertised for bids that there would
be a fight against the court house,
but they also knew that if they
waited for a unanimous consent
that they would never do any
thing.
The people of the county who
realize the necessity of anew court
house should stand by the com
missioners and give them every
assistance and encouragement in
their efforts for the improvement
of the standing of the county
among her neighbors. An old
tumble-down shack might suit
some people for a court but the en
terprising and progressive people
of Bartow county will not longer
be held back, but will keep pace
with the advancement of the twen
tieth century and build anew
court house.

N. Keefe, a correspondent of the

in the last issue:
“We notice in last week’s Times
a card headed “Fite for Congress’’
signed by “C.” We endorse every
word in the letter and we think his
head is level. We think it is time
for a change in our representative
and that the people will make the
change at the next election if they
have to have a Fite. As he says,
we do not know whether the Judge
wants to go to congress or not, but
if he decides to make the race, he
is going to trouble somebody.”

MASS MEETING ST
COURT HOUSE.
Discussion Over Resolution Lengthy
and Tiresome.
PEOPLE LEFT THE HOUSE-
Adopted by Small Vote After Sev
eral Hours Spent In Speech
M akin}?.
The building of the new court
house for Bartow county still re
mains a live wire in the county’s
affairs, as judged from the public
meeting called for Tuesday at the
court house.
A goodly attendance of people
was present at the meeting, and
some of the representative citizens
of the county were on hand to see
if the matter of building the court
house could not be done without
levying heavy taxes. Some desired
to build by direct taxation, some
by issuing bonds, and some were
in favor of abandoning the project
altogether.
Capt. T. J. Lyon presided over
the meeting, while Maj. A. F.
Woolley acted as secretary.
Mr. James H. Gilreath, who was
chairman of the Cassville meeting
a week before, which called the
present one, stated the object of the
meeting. He said he was in favor
of building anew court house, but
did not feel able to pay the extra
five dollars on the SI,OOO, which
had been levied.
After a few remarks by different
parties, Hon. M. L. Johnson offer
ed a resolution to the effect that a
tax be collected to cover the cost
of foundation work this year and
bonds be issued to finish the build
ing. He stated that he had been
opposed to building just yet, but
thought his plan was the best way
out of the matter.
Dr. Thomas H. Baker offered as
a substitute the resolutions printed
below, which were adopted after a
spiiited argument pro and com par
ticipated in by Judge Fite, Dr. Ba
ker, B. O. Crawford, J, M. Craw
ford, Dr. Battle and others.
In supporting his sul stitute Dr.
Baker’s remarks were quite caus
tic, and Judge Fite supported the
resolution of Mr. Johnson, and
made a statement of the facts re
ferring to the report of the treas
urer and the action of the grand
jury at the last term of the court
showing the amount in the treas
ury at that time over and above all
indebtedness was over SIO,OOO and
that the same had been properly
paid out, leaving now in the treas
ury $1,781, and insisted that it was
bad policy, if we could do so, to
abandon the building of the court
house, but expressed no opinion as
to the law, saying he declined to
do so inasmuch as legal proceed
ings had been threatened and the
matter w'ould come before him.
He said, however, that he was con
vinced • that the county commis
sioners had acted in good faith and
for the best interests of the people.
He thought the court house when
completed would be a magnificent
one and that we would be proud of
it, and further stated that he hoped
that there would be no legal pro
ceedings instituted but that thepeo-

Death of Mrs- Neal-
Mrs. Mary Ann Neel Was born
is Anderson district South Caro
lina, March 7, 1824, ana died at her
home in Cartersville at 1:40 p. m.
Sept. 27, iyoi.
F’ull of years and good deeds, she
rests.
At age of fourteen her family re
moved to Georgia asd settled in
that portion of Cass county which
afterwards became Gordon.
In 1848 she married Joseph L.
Neel, and they settled in Gordon
county near her old home.
In 1851 the family moved to
Adairsville, and they' ’were there
when in 1862, the war called
her husband to the front, leaving
the mother with four little children.
In the midst the cruel war, with all
the responsibilities of mother upon
her, there were exemplified many
of the splendid characteristics of
this noble Christian woman. The
physical, mental and moral train
ing of the children was upon her,
and well did she build.
In those trying times she spun
the cotton or wool into thread,wove
the thread into cloth and made into
garments for herself and her
children. She was also character
building which served her well as
the sun was going down.
At the age of 18 she was con
verted and joined the Baptist church
and lived in its commuuion until
her death.
Cartersville in 1882.
She was a home woman, unosten
tatious, but so kind, sympathetic
and obliging that she made many
friends.
A few weeks before her death
she fell, resulting in partial paral
ysis from which she never recover
ed. The end came not unexpected
ly, but so sad for all. The tired
hands were folded and the loving
mother’s heart was still.
Like ripe wheat she was ready for
the harvest time and was gathered
into the garner above.
The four children grew up to
bless her life, they call her blessed
and the husband he piaiseth her.
Besides her husband she leaves
the four children, Miss Nora Neel,
upon whose intellignce and strength
the mother long leaned, and her
grand-son Oliver Neel, constituted
the immediate fsmily.
The three sons are J. M. Neel of
Cartersville, J. N. Neel of Macon
and W. J. Neel of Rome, all these
and many mends share in the sor
row that has come to this broken
home,
