WILL DEVELOP
NEW IRON MINE.
Vl r . Percy Renfroe, With a Large
Force of Hands-
TO BEGIN OPERATION SOON
On Blue Ridge Mining and Manu
facturing Company's Lands
Near Wheeler Bank.
Things promise to be lively again
, n iron mining operations on the
Blue Ridge Mining and Manufac
turing Company’s property north
of Emerson.
A year or so ago a railroad was
built from Emerson to the Wheeler
bank and profitable work was
done for some time at that fine
deposit. Lately the track on this
little line has been sold and shipped
away, but will now be replaced to
meet the needs of the new work to
be done along its length, about
three miles.
Mr. R. P. Morgan has just open
ed up a desposit near the old
Wheeler bank, which he is work
ing profitably on a small scale.
The Blue Ridge people will work
some other deposits near by and
will need this road to get their ore
away. But the largest and most
important work will be done by
Mr. Percy Renfroe, who will open
anew deposit north of the Wheeler
bank, to which the road will be
extended. Mr. Renfroe is backed
by ample capital, it is said, and his
operations will be one of the most
important industries yet known in
that locality. He will work about
150 hands. The ore is in great
quantity and is said to be very
fine.

him.
Rev. Sam Jones has had the
pleasure of hearing Mr. Elliott and
he desires the ladies to put him on

Cartersville will give Mr. Elliott a
big house and he will give Carters
ville a rare treat, and most splen
did entertainment.
The ladies are very desirous that
all the subscribers tor course tick

agents of the Home Mission Socie
ty.
OIL MILL STARTS UP-
The Cartersville Oil Mill Begins
Operation.
The Cartersville Oil Mill started
up last week, and though it is not
yet running on full time it is being
operated to test the machineiy, and
as soon as the electric light plant
can be installed it will run both
day and night to its full capacity.
This is an enterprise which is
especially advantageous to the
farmers of the surroundingjcountry
as it gives them a ready market for
their cotton seed, and they can
exchange the seed for meal or hulls
at the mill.
Mr. J. M. Field, the manager,
would be glad to have those inter
ested call and see the operation of
the mill and will take pleasure in
showing them through the plant.

EXPRESS”FREE DELIVERY.
outhern Express Company Starts
Delviery Wagon Today.
Among the numerous evidences
that Cartersville is growing is the
decision of the Southern Express
Company to put on a free delivery
based on the increased business
now being realized.
This is not an innovation, but
according to a custom where the
busiuess of a place increases to a
point where such an expense will
be justified. Once before, during
w T hat were known as the city’s
boom days this point was reached,
but afterwards receded, and now
the notch being gained again which
the express people believe will be
continuous, is a gratifying realiza
tion and should be be taken as a
pointer in our new reach for im
portance.
A neat little turn out has been
secured and the work of delivery
will begin today. The outfit will
be a vehicle, a driver and book
keeper.
Free deliveries will be made of
all packages to those for whom in
tended within a radius of a third of
a mile.
There will be two deliveries
each day, one to start at 7 a. m.
and the other at 10:30 a. m.
The company hope to increase
their service for the city by this
new accommodation to the people.
Colored Matrimonial Event-
Avery elaborate function in
colored high life was the wedding
at the A. M. E. church Tuesday
evening of Leola Cannon and Lee
G. Brown. The affair was splen
didly arranged and well carried
out. There was a large crowd
present and quite a number of white
people attended. Both the bride
and groom are very popular among
the people of their color and have
many friends among the whites.
A reception was given after the
ceremomony at the home of Haynes
Milner, uncle of the bride.
A Bargain A Bargain-
Everybody knows the Aubrey
mare, the best old mare in the state.
A little child or its mother or
grandmother can drive her. She
is sound in wind and limb and will
keep fat on ten cents a day.
She is well worth SSO, but can
be bought for S4O or maybe $35 or
less.
If you want the buggy and har
ness too you can get the whole
turn out for one hundred and ten
dollars, no less.

SOCIAL AND *
FEMININE TOFIGS
CAKKIK GAKMCtt JOMKS.
One can scarce review a book
column these days without seeing
something concerning Marie Cor
reli and her book which is just
from her publisher. And, by the
way, Miss Correli has adopted the
custom of sending forth the pio
ducts of her brain every two years
on the 29th of August. She is a
contradiction of the master mind
and shallow woman, one who pro
fesses to maintain seclusion at any
cost, yet one who never loses the
opportunity to let the public know
that she exists.
I read “The Romance of Two
Worlds,” her first book at the im
pressionable age of girlhood; it set
my brain awhirl, to think that any
mind, especially that of femininity
could originate such bold theories
and carry them into so plausible a
plot, next, I was absorbed in
“ Wormwood, ’ and just as deep was
my wonder, to find that a woman
could so minutely analyze the sub
tlety of absiuthe upon its victim,
Sincethe, I had until recently ex
alted Marie Correli to a plane of
mental existence reached by no
other woman, George Eliot prob
ably not excepted. Imagine mv
satisfaction then in having a friend
on her return from abroad giye me
a detailed account of her visit to
the abiding place of Miss Correli
in the little town of Stratford-on-
Avon. But alas! Hear the sequel.
Miss Correli was there reading the
proofs for “The Master Christian”
and doing press fora Loudon paper,
quarreling with Rudyard Kipling
in the meantime.
To her “bungalow” as she term
ed this abiding place she had gone
with her friend and companion,
Miss Vining, her stiff starchy but
ter and poll parrot (and all impor
tant members of the household)
Three years ago when it was an
nounced that Miss Correli would
visit America, I recall a paragraph
to the effect that we on this side of
the water should prepare to see
a petite little body who affected an
exceeding daintiness of dress, al
ways in colors of blue and white,
to enhance the golden sunset ring
lets which played about her classic
brow. And this is what my friend
saw in the bungalow at Stratford
on-Avon—a woman nearly forty,
an unformed mass of flesh, with ill
fitting shirt waist, and the “blonde
ringlets kissed by sunshine,”a deep
fringe coaxed into a wrinkle by
the curling tong, and a bad job at
that: a full face with the piercing
black eye which seemed to pene
trate one’s very soul. One could
but feel, said this friend, that she
had no interest in a human being
except to probe with those eyes for
something uncanny to illuminate a
page of her next book. Miss Vin
ing was chief spokesman during
this visit in question to the bunga
low. After informing this party
that Miss Correli was the greatest
living woman, she ventured the
query, had the lady ever written
a book? She had not, so she at
once sunk into mediocrity in the
opinion of Miss Vining. Next she
deplored the day of this visitor’s
call, Sunday, because Miss Correli
always played with poll parrot; so
it was a choice between the poll
parrot and my friend, and the latter
said she felt as if she came out
second best. My curiosity regard
ing Marie Correli was gratified but
I rather deplored the fact. I have
not enjoyed one of her books since.
So rhany inquire into Miss Correli’s
nationality, and from her nom de
plume, decide that she must be of
Italian descent. She is not; her
name is Minnie Mackey and the
adopted daughter of a London phy
sician.
Mr. and Mrs. Royal Randolf
Smith announce the engagement
of their daughter Miss Julia, to
Mr. Julian Lee Smith, of Selma,
Ala., the wedding to occur in early
January. Miss Smith, who is a
granddaughter of our beloved
“Bill Arp,” has ever been one of
our most beautiful and popular
girls. Her large circle of friends
will sincerely regret to give her
up. Mr. Smith is one of Selma’s
most successful and prosperous
business men whose ancestors were
among the old and aristocratic Lee
and Fishburn families of Alabama
and South Carolina.
Miss Marian Strickland, of Dal
ton, is the attractive guest of Mrs.
Albert Strickland.
The Misses Deßosset returned
to their home in Wilmington N. C.

TUESDAY’S ELECTION.
Bartow Cast Light Vote—Election
in Other States.
Very little interest was shown in
the congressional election held on
Tuesday, and only a light vote
was cast for congressman in Bar
tow. The total vote in the county
gave Maddox 470, and McKnight
19 ;
The election throughout the
state about the same way, as
there was no opposition in any of
the districts, except the seventh,
and it did not amount to anything.
The democrats made gains
throughout the country and the
republican majority in the next
congress will be considerably re
duced.
The greatest interest was shown
in New York state where the dem
ocrats hoped to elect the governor,
but were defeated by only about
ten thousand plurality. Governor
Odell, the republican candidate
being re-elected. There was very
little change in any of the states
except that the democrats won in
several of the close congsessional
districts.
Marriage at Taylorsville-
A social event of importance is
the marriage of Miss Clara Dodd
and Mr. James M. Smith, which
was solemnized last Wednesday
evening at the Baptist church,
which was most artistically decor
ated with roses, chrysanthemuns
and ferns. The bride was becotn
ing/y dressed in a white liberty
satin trimmed in white silk appli
que. the bridal veil was most
artistically caught with bride roses;
she carried a large shower bouquet
of bride roses tied with white rib
bon.
Miss Grace Taff and Miss Bessie
Harling, the bridesmaids, were
beautifully dressed in white organ
die trimmed in soft laces, with
white sashes and carried pink La-
Frauce roses tied with pink ribbon.
Mr. William Eugene Smith and
Mr. James Walter Kennedy were
the ushers. Rev. Judson Morgan,
their former pastor, performed the
ceremony. After the ceremony
the bridal party, with about fifty
invited guests were driven to the
home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. W. A. Dodd, where an
elegant wedding supper awaited
them. Miss Dodd is one of Taylors
ville’s accomplished and attractive
young ladies.
Mr. Smith is a prosperous mer
chant and one of Bartow’s most
promising young citizens and is
well worthy his good fortune.
