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.

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- A noted London club man once laid a wager with a friend that the latter could not sell a given number of gold guineas at a penny a piece.

Considerable animated discuss ion was indulged iu until the ques tion of voting on Dr. Baker’s sub stitute was called when it was car ried by a lirge majority. When this vote was taken a great many had become tired of the discussion and left, but. when the question was caljed it was carried hr *43 to 28.

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, Q Best Cough Syrup.
