TO THE MAN WHO HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTED ELSEWHERE:
A clothier’s mere desire to serve his patrons well means nothing unless he has a first class stock to back up his good intentions. The man who has been disappointed
elsewhere probably suffered more from smallness of stock and lackof expert judgment on the merchant’s part than on ill attention. We have not only a robust desire
to serve your best interest, but have the largest and best assorted stock of clothing in Cartersville. Boys knee suits 1.00, 1.50, 2.50, 3.50, 5 00, Mens suits 3.50, 5.00, 8.50,

The development of fashion is a constantly progressive evolution beautyward. It seems trite to say now as we have perhaps
always said before, that the present season’s styles are more charming, artistic and beautiful than ever before.

DEATH OF
COL. F. I FOOD.
He Breathes His Last Monday
Morning at 11 O’clock-
HE WAS MAYOR OF THE CITY-
Final Illness Short—Brief Sketch of
His Life—Honors at
His t uneral.
Monday, which was September
21, Col. F. M. Ford died. Just
forty years ago from that day he
was at the gory field of Chicka
mauga. The great battle was
fought on the 20th and on the 21st
the army was experiencing the
fatigue and reactiou of a bloody
struggle with arms.
Col. Ford’s final illness was
short. Though he had a number
of petty ailments for a number of
years back, his native vitality
served him and he braved these to
look after his usual affairs until a
kind of general debility came on
and ending in a severe attack, a
physician was called in. Less than
a week before his death he com
plained of an attack of lumbago,
but on Friday morning last came
to town and spent part of the morn
ing on the street. That night the
doctor was sent for on account of
the severity of his illness. Ail that
could be done was done. He grew’
worse until Monday morning at n
o’clock he died from heart failure.
Francis Marion Ford was born
in Dickson county, Tenn , in 1832,
but moved to this place in 1854.
He engaged in the iron business,
running a furnace or two in this
county.
In 1861 he raised a company for
infantry service in the confederate
army. He was made captain. The
company entered service in the
Eighteenth Georgia and was
designated Cos. H. After Fred
ericksburgh, he was promoted to
lieutenant colonel of the regiment
and remained with his command
; through to the surrender. Col. Ford
CARTERS VILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPT., 24, 1903.
was known as a gallant officer and
a title soldier. The regiment fought
in the battles of Malvern Hill,
Gaines’ Farm, Second Manassas,
Sharpsbur gh, Fredericksburg,
Chancelorsville, Wilder ness, Peters
burgh, Chickamauga, Knoxville
and against Sheridan in the Valley.
It was in John B. Hood’s old brig
ade, Me Law’s’ division and Long
street’s corps.
Alter the war Col. Ford followed
mercantile pursuits. He w r as elected
to the legislature in 1868. Mike
Crawford was elected with him but
could not take his seat because of
disabilities and W. L Goodwin
was accorded the place and served
as his colleague. He has been a
number of times elected mayor and
was serving at his death his second
continuous term. He was a mem
ber of the City School Board,
which position he had held for
several years.
He leaves a wife and five chil
dren, Frank, Miss Lena. James
and Miss Lizzie Ford, of this city,
and Hugh Ford, now of Pavo, Ga.
He has a brother, PTd Ford, and a
sister, Mrs. Lou Satterfield, sur
viving him.
Col. Ford was a man of fine
principles, being honorable, frank
and true in his dealings with
his fellow'men. That rugged
valor which he illustrated as a
soldier he carried into civil life and
at all times exhioited the full
courage of his convictions.
The funeral occurred from the
home at 3 o’clock, the services be
ing conducted by Rev. J. T.
Christian assisted by Rev. J. S.
Hillhouse.
Asa mark of respect,the business
houses of the city were closed dur
ing the funeral hour. The city
officials attended the funeral in a
body. P. M. B. Young camp of
confederate veterans attended also
in a body.
The remains were interred at
Oak Hill.

We desire to express our heart
felt thanks to the good people of
Cartersville for their kindness and
sympathy to us during the illness
and at the death of our beloved
husband and father.

NECKO GAMBLERS
ARE POLLED.
Officers Make Successful Raids
Saturday Night-
SEVEN NEGROES ARF CAUGHT
A Number Escape bv Plunging
Through Windows and Carrying
Sash With Them.
Officers made successful raids on
two gambling parties last Saturday
night. Being well assured that
gambling had been going on among
a certain lot of negroes, they
watched, reflected and decided
wtien would be a good time to act.
When the streets were well cleared
and those with legitimate callings
were supposed to be well abed and
the nocturnal wrong doer astir,
that is about 11 o’clock, Special
Bailiff Will Goode, Night Marshal
S. P. Satterfield, with Bud Jones,
went quietly to the house of Mack
Pyles, colored, iu Haytown, on
Puckett street,and approaching his
domicile heard a muffled conversa
tion and other indications of a
gathering that was altogether out
of the usual in a peaceful family
domain. Getting each a crack to
peep through, they beheld a crowd
in the midst of a game of skin,
observing the cards as laid for the
game and hearing plainly the clink
of small change. They rushed in
at the aoor and their presence was
like that of a hawk among a gang
of young chickens and a scattera
tion was vigorously attempted, the
gamblers making for the windows.
There were eight in the game.
Four escaped and four were ar
rested.
About 12 o’clock a raid w r as
made on the home of Will Solomon,
on Water Tower hill, by Deputy
Sheriff Tinsley, Night Marshal
Satterfield and Bailiff W ill Goode.
The same tactics were employed
here as at the home of Pyles. The
surprise was a little more vivid,
however, and it was a wonder the
would-be fugitives didn’t all get
hurt running over each other. The
windows were down but were no
impediment. Some of them jumped
through, crashing the glass and
carrying the sash with them.
There were six in the game here
and three got away and three were
caught.
Those who were arrested at both
places were: Banks Parks, Will
Solomon, Charlie Moore, Sam
Mcßeynolds, Albert Cash, Tor.?
Ross and Will Trammell,
They were all committed to jail.
For Mayor.

Cartersville:
1 hereby announce myself a

port of every citizen interested

A PAID OF
BLOODHOUNDS.
County to Own a Pair of Four
Footed Man Hunters-
WILL BE HERE IN TWO WEEKS-
Indiana Bred Dogs and True Blood
—Cost Two Hundred Dollars
tor the Pair.
For some time a pair of blood
hounds for tracking fugitives has
been a recognized necessity in Bar
tow county, and many believe the
same amount of money could be
no better spent than that necessary
for such a purchase. The County
Commissioners at a recent meet
ing decided to secure a pair of
dogs, and Mr. W. D. Rowland,
clerk of the board, and Deputy
Sheriff Warren Tinsley were em
powered to make the purchase.
After inquiry it was found that
F. E. Farley, a celebrated breeder
at Crown Point, Ind., offered the
best inducements as to reliability
of quality, etc, and with him they
made a deal for two bloodhounds,
already trained for running. They
are to be here in two weeks, and
are to be given a thorough trial
before being finally accepted. The
price agreed on for the dogs is
S2OO.
There is scarcely a week passes
without an opportunity for the use
of a reliable pair of hounds, and
with them a number of criminals
that have escaped could have been
overhauled. In cases of jail break
ings, burglaries and other crimes
they w’ill prove wonderfully useful.
Besides being available in catch
ing offenders, they will be a men
ace to those who would commit
depredations.
The dogs will be committed to
the custody of Deputy Sheriff
Tinsley.
