BILLY GINN.
Doomed to a Life on Crutches He
Has Made it a Success.
Rev A W Bealer in Christian Index
I paid a flying visit to Carters
ville the other day. and there I had
the pleasure of shaking hands with
Billy Ginn. You don’t know Billy.
If you did, you wouldn’t wonder
when I tell you that he has been
an inspiration to me for the last
three and a half years. He hasn t
walked a step since he was a very
small child, and yet he is one of the
mot prosperous men in Bartow
county and one of the most univer
sally respected. !
W hen a very small boy he had
an attack of scarlet fever that left
him a helpless cripple. But Billy
was made out of the stuff that
wouldn’t be idle. He helped his
mother make the yarn, on the old
fashioned spinning wheel, from
which she wove cloth. He raised
chickens and sold them until he
had money enough to buy two
calves. A kind hearted blacksmith
made him a little two wheeled cart.
Crippled as he was, and mounted
on two crutches, he managed to
break the calves. He made many
a dollar by hauling goods into town
and bringing things out for the
neighbors. There was a furnace
near his home and Rev. Sam P.
Jones was then firing the engine.
Billie applied for the job of hauling
ore to the furnace and secured it.
The man who cracked the ore got
drunk and was discharged. Billie
got his job. Early in the morning
and late in the evening he would
haul ore with his little steers, and
in the heat of the day he would sit
in the shade and break the iron
rocks.
He worked at this for a year,
and then paid his way to school
for a year. When he returned, his
steers were grown and he had a
large wagon made for them. Then
he began hauling wood. He would
sit on the ground and cut the tree
down. He would drag himself
along the trunk and lop off the
limbs, after which he would cut
the log into four-feet sticks, load it
°n his wagon, haul it to town and
sell it.
In the course of a few years Billy
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
was elected tax collector, and he
made a good one. Now he has a
splendid wife and six handsome
children, he owns a fine farm and
rents much adjacent laud, all of
which he superintends, and to keep
time from hanging healily on his
hands, he runs a store and does a
fine business. But best of all,
Billy loves the Lord and delights
to honor Him. And riding around
in his little buggy, he is always
happy and thanking God for His
mercies. When Will Upshaw was
with me at Cartersville he asked
everybody whose heart was fixed
on God to give him the hand. Billy
came hobbling up on his crutches,
and, as he drew near, with smiling
face, he said, taking the outstretch
ed hand, and looking at the crutch
es of another:
“Through many dangers, toils and
cares,
We have already come.
'Tis God has brought us safe thus far,
And God will lead us home.”
And yet there there are some
men who hunt for excuses to keep
from working.
EXAMINING OCHRE DEPOSIT S '
Dr. Hayes of U. S- Geological Sur
vey. to Finish Some Work Here.
Dr. C. W. Hayes, of the U. S.
Geological Survey, isexpected here
this week to do what is termed
some “patch surveying” of ochre
deposits in this locality. Dr Hayes
has been here twice before in this
work, the last time in 1880, and
will now finish up, and complete
maps of the region will be issued
from the interior department.
Dr. Hayes has charge of survey
work in the whole Southern Ap
alachian range, and is the leading
authority on a number of minerals.
Mr. E. C, Eckel has been here a
week or more and has done some
preliminary work in the present
ochre survey. Bartow has the
largest ochre deposits of any single
community known.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1902.
TWO LAUDABLE OBJECTS-
Ladl#s of Cherokee Club Interest
Themselves In New work.
The Education Committee of the
Cherokee Club is composed of a
chairman selected by the club, and
two members from each of the
churches of the town oppointed, by
their respective missionary socie
ties.
The primary object of this com
mittee was to secure the attendance
of all the children of the town at the
day school and the Sunday schools.
Upon investigation it has been
found that there are very few chil
dren of school age who are not in
the day schools, but an army of
them who aft strangers to the Sun
day schools. However a mothers’
meeting has been organized, and
at these meetings it is hoped that
this neglect on the part of parents
will be so fully discussed that the
mothers at least, will realize their
individual respousiblity in regard
to this matter. Personal work is
being done among the children also,
and-if the results are such as are
expected the membership of the
various Sunday schools will be
considerably increased.
Another undertaking of this
committee is the organization of a
sewing class, where the girls and
mothers who are not proficient in
sewing may be taught this very
useful and necessary accomplish
ment and thereby render them
selves self-supporting. There is a
great demand in the homes of our
town for help with each season’s
sewing but so few who are capable
of rendering this service satisfac
torily. The training that it is pro
posed to give through the sewing
class will theretore serve a double
purpose, that of supplying exper
ienced help for those who wish to
pay for it, and a means of support
for those who need it.
However, the success of this
sewing class must depend largely
upon the contributions of material
from friends of the cause. Rem
nants of dry goods from our
merchants, and left over lengths
from our housekeepers will fashion
man}’ a little garment for little
bodies and at the same time teach
the mother or sister how to sew
neatly ana substantially. Con
tributions of goods of any length
and quality, quilt scraps, thread,
thimbles, and indeed anything that
can be of service in sewing may be
left at the rest room, re ir of the
public library, where they will be
most gratefully received.
A committee will be at the rest
room on Tuesday morning, Octo
ber 7, from 9to 11 o’clock for the
purpose of receiving all contribu
tions that may be made.

A FENCE THAT FENCES-
Woven Steel Wires Does It for
Years at a Low Cost.
Wanted: A fence that will
fence and last for years, at a low
cost. This was a long-felt want
with farmers, planters and cattle
men in all parts of the country, till
the perfection of the woven steel
fence known as the Ellwood Steel
Wire Fence. This filled the long
felt want and is today used from
the Atlantic to the Pacific for every
kind of farm, ranch and plantation
fencing. It furnishes protection to
crops and holds all kinds of live
stock for the longest term of years
at the least cost.
The Ellwood Fence does fence.
It is made of high grade Bessemer
steel, heavily galvanized and pract
ically everlasting. It is woven so
accurately that it stretches evenly
and when subjected to any severe
strain, as when a heavy man climbs
over it or a farm wagon is acci
dentally backed againt it, the ten
sion is evenly distributed and no
damage is done. It is a diamond
mesh fence, the heavy twisted ca
ble wires being connected by panels
which are small near the ground
and larger toward the top of the
fence.
