fTOWAH POWER TO BE USED-
Enthusiastic Meeting and Coonera
-1 " jion of Citizens Pledged-Cham
ber of Commerce.
With the bridging or trival contin
gencies. Cartersville will possess
(Opportunities for gigantic strides
forward commensurate with her
well known marvelous natural ad
vantages, and her prospects in
general will be brighter than at
anv time in her existence.
As is well known, while sur
rounding us are mountains filled
| w ith a dozen kinds of minerals, an
agricultural territory unrivaled in
the sonth and timber in quantity,
overtopping all and making possible
he development of all our resources
is the immense water power on the
Etowah river a few miles north
cast ot town. The harnessing of
this is among the plans of a com
pany having in view the erection
or a Portland cement plant alone
requiring an investment of between
$600,000 and #700,000.
A meeting of citizens at the
opera house one night last week
was to show the city’s interest and
willingness to co-operate with the
.projectors if such was desired.
An adjourned meeting Monday
night, at which the visitors were
present, proved one of the most
enthusiastic, cordial and practical
the city has ever known.
Judge Fite as chairman, assured
the gentlemen that as soon as our
people knew what they wanted, if
anything, they were ready to re
spond, and assured the people the
gentlemen asked for no money, as
others, proving failures, had done,
and with their object, the develop
ment of the fine water power, he
thought we might join in with
them.
Col. John R, Scott. for the com
pany, said he had found the site
and facilities here all he had de
sired, and with favorable freight
rates conceded, they would come.
He spoke glowingly of Carters
ville’s possibilities and surround
ings and he said that with the
Etowah power used’ to its full
strength, industries to support a
50,000 population were possible.
What they would wish would be
reciprocal interest regarding freight
rates and the privilege of lighting
the town cheaper than others
tould.
He advocated the organization
of a chamber of commerce, where
upon later, on motion of Capt.
-Lyon enrollments were commenced,
and about 65 names were taken.
A committee of ten was appoint
ed to decide on a secretary and
active worker and other matters.
The organization was perfected
Tuesday night by the election of
the followiug officers:
President—H. T. Bradley.

FUNCTIONS IN THEIR HONOR.
Mrs. Flournoy and Miss Julia Jones
Social Favorites in Paducah.
Mrs. David M. Flournoy formerly
Miss Laura Jones, and her sister,
Miss Julia Jones, who is visiting
her at present, are receiving mark
ed social attention in the former’s
home town, Paducah, Ky. In
the News-Democrat’s society itenij
mention is made of a number of
brilliant entertainments in which
they are prominent figures. The
following items are from the News-
Democrat.
“The reception given by Mrs.
Carrie Flournoy, Mrs. E. E. Ellis
and Miss Mary Flournoy at their
home on Harrison street, near
Seventh, Friday afternoon in com
pliment to Mrs. David M. Flour
noy and Miss Julia Jones of Car
tersville, Ga., was a charming
function. The hours were from 3
to 4 and 4 to 5, some of the invita
tions being issued at one and some
at the other hour. * * *
Mrs. David Flournoy wore her
wedding gown, which was an ex
quisite creation of white point lace
over white satin. Miss Jones was
gowned in white chiffon over white
taffeia. It was a dress she wore
as maid of honorather sister’s wed
ding.
“An unusually pretty reception
was given by Mrs. A. B. Sowell
and the Misses Sowell at their
home on West Broadway Thurs
day afternoon from 2 to 5 in honor
of Mrs. David M. Flournoy and
Miss Fannie Taylor, Kansas City.
The house was decorated in red.
The tea table had a swiss cover
over red, and red carnations were
gracefully disposed about it. In
the luncheon a red ice was served.
There were many callers.”
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
BUI to Pay Cartersville Baptist
Church Passes Mouse-
Washington, D. C., Jan. 16. —
The house of representatives today
passed a bill to pay $5,000 to the
First Baptist church of Cartersville
for property destroyed during the
civil war.
While fighting for the passage
of the bill Representative Maddox
had a sharp tilt with Lacey, of
lowa, who objected to the expres
sion:" War between thestates” in the
bill Lacey said he would suggest
“war of the rebellion,” but he
didn’t want to hurt the feelings of
southerners.
Judge Maddox replied:
“If you wish to discuss that
question we will take a day off, I
want this bill passed just now and
can’t waste time. They finally
compromised on “the late war,”
and the bill went through. It
must now go to the senate.
The above is good news to the
people of Cartersville and especially
to the Baptist church, as the bill to
pay for the damage to the Baptist
church by the federal troops,
which has been before congress for
some time, has finally passed the
house, and will now go to the
senate where it is hoped prompt
action will be taken by our senators
to push the bill through that body.
A Pleasant Oininp,
In honor of Miss Cassily, of St.
Louis and Dr. Earl Quillian, cf
Savannah, Mrs. L. E. Jones and
Mrs. Augustus Quillian gave Wed
nesday a dining of beautiful ar
rangement. A rose tint harmony

A great center cluster of La
France roses rested on the lace
cloth under the glow of light shad
ed with flower caps of pink and
held in massiye silver candelabra.
A dinner menu of elaborate
courses was faultlessly served from
exquisite china and silver services.
With Mrs. Jones and Quillian were
seated:
Miss Cassily, Dr. Earl Quillian,
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. F. Jones, Mr.
and Mrs. T. J. Christian, Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Milam. Mrs\ Lula Bil

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1903.
JANUARY TERM
SUPERIOR COURT
Opened Last Week in the New
Court House-
CRIMINAL DOCKET THIS WEEK-
Judge Charges on Important Mat
ters— Ooimpliments New
and Old Officers.
The January term of Bartow
superior court opened last week in
the new court house.
The following citizens compose
the grand jury for the term :
John R. Trippe, James M. Barton,
William H. Bagwell, John P.
Adair, James P. Walker, James H.
Gilreath, W. M. Going, N. M.
Adams, Geo. H. Gilreath, John T.
Anderson, Thos. H. Powell, D. F.
Blanton, James W. Williams, J. P.
HaNvks, Robert W. Taff, J. B.
Mullinax Jr., Geo. H. Headden, B.
C. McEver, T. G. B. Gore, H. J.
McCormick Jr.. W. M. Patterson,
R. N. Best, Lee W. Jolly. Geo.
H. Gilreath was elected foreman
and J. P. Hawks, clerk.
Judge Fite, in his charge, com
plimented both the old and new
officers for their capabilities and
attention to the public interests.
Speaking of the new court house,
he said it had cast more than if
the money was in the treasury, as
the contractor had to take scrip,
which was discounted, and the dis
count as a matter of justice and
right had to be borne by the county.
Six years ago the county was
about $2,000 in debt; we had paid
that and between $50,000 and S6O,
000 for our new court house.
He scored tax dodging in general
and said if he were receiver he
wouldn’t take a piece of corporate
property at less than it was sold
tor. If all property were given in
at its true value, the tax rate
would be redaced 35 to 40 per
cent. “Millionaires, I am told,”
said he “don’t pay ten per cent, of
what you do.”
He had heard that justice® had
been settling cases and not entering
them on the dockets. He hoped
it was not true, and no justice had
any such right.
Gambling “in a gentlemanly
way,” as he called it, he touched
upon saying ihat raffles had been
common where dice were thrown
for guns, suits of clothes, and
other things and such things were
plainly violations of law.
Last week was devoted to civil
business. The criminal docket,
begun Monday, aftei jail prisoners
were tried, was suspended for the
case ot Mrs. Maggie Stephens vs
the city of Cartersville for damages
from alleged overflow on Stone
wall street on her land. It was
being tried Tuesday and yesterday.
The grand jury adjourned last
Saturday, to meet again next Mon
day.
In Memoriam-
During the Christmas’ holidays
when family reunion, and festivi
ties were commemorated, and being
enjoyed by most all; the death
angel visited our home, and claimed
for his own our little Agnes, aged
14 years and 6 months:
She had been afflicted for 10
years, but this seemed to bind her
more tenderly to us, and while we
are sad we would not have her
back. We know that God knew
best and was kind to take her.
The last days of her life were
spent trying to make us all happy
by surprising us with presents.
But alas! on Thursday, bright
Christmas day, as the sun sank in
the west, she was taken violently
worse, and on Sunday at half past
twelve, God cajpe “and gathered
her with the lambs to her bosom.”
We miss you, but its all right,
some sweet day there wil) be a re
union in heaven, where there’ll be
T-more sorrow.
Your Santa Claus basket of pres
ents remains just as you left it after
those feeble hands had divided
with us all.
May those “beautiful beckoning
hands” cause us all to drift heav
enward. and may God who makes
no mistakes sanctify this bereave
ment to His glory in causing her
brothers and sisters to live, and
walk more closely to him.
Many thanks to the kind friends,
who were so kind to us during this
sad trial.
Her Mother.

AT EMERSON.
Two Stores and Ware Room Burn
ed Last Friday-
BROOKS AND WILLIS SUFFER-
Brooks’ House and Stock a Total
Loss—Willis Saves Most
of His Stock.
The town of Emerson exper
ienced an ugly little fire last Fri
day morning, It was noticed first
iu the rear of the store of Mr. John
Brooks, where he and his family
lived. It gained headway rapidly
and though the people of the place
gathered to do what they could in
staying the flames, they were pow
erless, and everything within the
store, the stock of goods and the
household effects of the family,
was lost.
Mr. F\ M. Willis, occupied the
store house of Thomas Duckett.
His store was in the front room and
he lived in the rear. He had built
a kind of warehouse by the side of
the Duckett building which con
tained heavier groceries. Both
these buildings were soon afire
and the crowd assisted in removing
the contents. Heroic work was
done and about all of Mr. Willis’
goods and effects were saved.
There was no insurance on either
of the buildings or their contents.
Mr. Brooks’ loss will amount to
about $3,500; Mr. Duckett’s SSOO
or S6OO and Mr. Willis’ $l5O or
S2OO.

Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how gieat a
change a few years of married life
will make iu the appearance and
disposition of many women. The
freshness, tne charm, the brilliance
vanished like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled.
The matron is only a dim shadow,
a faint echo of the charming
maiden. There are two reasons for
this change, ignorance aud neglect.
Few young women appreciate the
shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage.
Many neglect to deal with the un
pleasant drains which are often
consequent on marriage and moth
erhood, not understanding that this
secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and form of its fair
ness. As surely as the general health
suffers where there is derange
ment of the health of the delicate
womanly organs, so surelv when
these organs are established in
health the face and form at once
bear witness to the fact in renewed
omeliness. Half a million wo
men and more have found health
and happiness in the use of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It
makes weak women strong and sick
women well.

We doubt whether there is any one

Let us but once get a sack of “Clif

vite you to try other brands to your
heart’s content. Such comparisons
only bring out the superiority and
excellence of “Clifton.” Milner &

How to Get Bid of a Cold.
“Shall I ever be rid of this cold?”
1 his is the daily question of a man
racked by a cough that seems to
tear his lungs. Let him cheer up
and take Allen’s Lung Balsam.
This remedy not merely overcomes
ordinary coughs and colds, how
ever obstinate, but it is recom
mended even in the first stages of
consumption.
Kidney and Bladder Troubles.
Ki.l ncy, Bladder, Urethral and similar
troubles are caused- by an excess of uric,

Good flour these cold mornings if
your flour is of the spasmodic sort,
that only “works by spells.” You
can’t be certain, you don’t know
what to depend on. “Clifton” flour
will bake to your entire satisfaction,
day in, and day out. It is not the
best flour today and the next best
tomorrow. It is the best all the time
and people who buy “Clifton” know
it. Sold by J. A. Monfort & Cos..

The Spirit of Winter.
The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presenae known in many
different ways—sometimes by cherry
sunshine and glistening snows, and
sometimes by driving winds and
blinding storms. To many people it
seems to take a delight in making
bad things worse, for rheumatism
twists harder, twinges sharper,
catarrh beco lies more annoying, and
the many symptoms of scrofula are
developed and aggravated. There is
not much poetry in this, but there is
tr, th, and it is a wonder that more
people don’t get rid of these ailments.
Tin- medicine that cures them —
Hood’s Sarsaparilla—is easily obtain
ed aud there is abundant proof that
its cures art- radical and permanent.
