Vaughan & Cos MILNER—JONES. Quiet Home Wedding of a Popu lar Couple. Beautiful and impressive in its sweet simplicity was the marriage of Miss Mary Louise Jones to Mr. James C. Milner, which occurred at “Walnut Grove,’’ the country home of the bride’s mother. Mrs. Louise Young Jones, Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The contracting parties are pop ular young people of sterling worth and high Christian princi ples. Mr. Milner is a son of Col. T. C. Mdner, a prominent lawyer and an elder in the Presbyterian church of this city. The bride is the youngest daughter of the late Dr. Th®s. F. Jones and a neice of the late Gen. P. M. B. Young. “Walnut Grove” has been the home of the Youngs for several generations and is a fine old ante bellum mansion. On this occa sion the folding doors between the spacious parlors were thrown open and the rooms beautifully decorated in palms, ferns and white flowers while quantities of sweet peas added beauty and fra grance to the scene. After the ceremony, which was impressively performed by Rev, E. M. Crrig, delicious refresh ments were served and the young couple, followed by showers of rice and the good wishes of a host of friends, left for Atlanta, where Mr. Milnet holds a responsible position with Robeson & Holle man. The bride was attired in white organdie and looked sweet and girlish. Her going away gown was of gray cloth. The presents were handsome and, numerous. On account of the feeble health of Mrs. Jones the marriage was very quiet, only the families of the contracting parties and a few friends. Dr. and Mrs. F\ R.

Stegall, of closed a .i. li with Pennsylvania pee pie Tuesday whereby he trans-' fers about 160 acres mineral lands in few simple and the minerals on other adjacent lands. Mr. Brittain, who has been oper ating the Dobbins manganese property for some time put the deal through, which will, from report, do much for this section. A lease on the Dobbins and Harris property has been acquired by the same parties. The Stegall pur chase contains manganese as well as iron, and it is reported that the outputs of these mines will be turned into pig iron and iron and ferromanganese furnaces are to be built at Emerson. The Pennsylvania people are very reticent but the report seems well founded and may mean muth for this section. A fearo-manganese furnace has long been desired to manufacture the raw material so extensively mined in this county. Wheat Sax of ev ery description. J. B. Pyron & Son. 6-14 4W AT THE STATE FAIR.

Tibet *f the Cincin nati Packer, a trade,journal, con tains the following of interest to this section: “If the public only knows the value of the Georgia peach for preserving the housewife would not wait for the later crop from the north, but would buy early,” said D. Martin, the Cleveland wholesaler. “It was a su'prise to me, for I have handled peaches all my life, but last year I took some home and had my wife put them up. They were choice Elbertas, and the results are far beyend any expectation I had. “Later on I teok home oilier va rieties from Michigan and told my wife I wanted her to do her best. I was more than pleased with the Georgia Elberta and it is certainly far superior to any peach l ever saw for preserving. It comes out ofSt’c jar as sound and firm as the day it went in, wherein the Michi gan peaches are soft and Tnushv. 1 advise all my trade to buy early peaches, and I am glad to learn that we can expect a good crop this year.” Commenting upon this subject, Mr. John Fugazzi, whose firm is a heavy i-eceiver of the Georgia peach, states that he is urging all his shippers to adopt the same methods of advertising the merits of their peaches as the California Prune Growers’ association has done to increase the sale of Cali fornia prunes. At a meeting of the prune growers, a large sum of monev was voted to be used to advertise the merits of prunes when properly cooked and fine literature and demonstrators are now employed in a systematic manner to educate the public. Mr. Fugazzi is urging all grow ers to place a small printed slip in each basket, telling of the good qualities of the Elbertas. The Georgia peach is new to the people at large and from long habit ihe housewife has waited for the northern peaches. There is no question about the Elberta being much superior to any of the Michigan stocks, either in size, color or taste. Mr. Fugazzi’s sug gestion is a good one and would enhance the value of the Georgia peach very much. It only requires one trial to convince any house keeper of its superiority, but in order to break down old customs a system of education is necessary The commission houses are fast learning, but the calls upon a com mission man’s time are so many that very little time is left for him to try to educate the grocer. If this suggestion was followed oui every grocer would have a very strong argument in his hands whenever he offered'a basket to a purchaser. The grow r ers that inaugurated this movement will soon realize the value and judgment from the benefits already coming to the prune growers by jud’cious adver : tising, a system of this character would bring much more money to j the shippers.

The Pending Election for tar Issuance of Bonds and the ISb tablishment of an Electric Lij hi Plant. A Demand for Fair I’lav To the Legal Voters of ihf. City of Cartersville, in the State of Georgia. On the 6th day of August, A. I). 1888, the city of Cartersville, by its Mayor, Hon. J. C. Wofford, and the City Council, entered into a contract with the Orient Illum inating Company, a corporation, and its successors and assigns, in and by which said city granted to said corporation the exclusive privilege, for the full term 'of twenty years, from the second day ot' July, 1888, to erect, oper ate and maintain in said city a plant for the manufacture, dis tribution and sale of gas, with a right to repair, replace, extend, construct, operate and maintain the piping, lamp-posts and other necessary appurtenances on the highways, streets and alleys, and in the parks of said city. It was in and by said contract, among other things, further pro vided, that at any time from and after one year trom the 24th day of July, A. L). 1888, the city of Cartersville might, in writing, re quest said corporation, its suc cessors or assigns, to ere.:’, oper ate and maintain a plant with its appurtenances for the purpose of lighting the public streets, lanes, alleys and parks of said city by a system of electric arc lights. In that case the city was to give to said corporation four months’ written notice of its desire to have said electric plant erected and operated. The Orient Illuminating Com pany at once proceeded to estab lish said gas plant, and the same has been maintained and operated ever since that time in strict com pliance with the terms of said con tract. The Cartersville Light and Power Company is the lawful suc cessor of said Orient Illuminating Company, and has acquired all its property at 1 cost of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). It is now proposed by the city authorities, under an ordinance heretofore enacted, to hold an election in said city Saturday, 22nd inst., in order to determine the question whether said city shall issue its bonds to ♦ho amount of SIO,OOO tor the purpose of con structing an e'ectric light plant and generating and supplying electricity for lighting the public streets. The undersigned, as president and shareholder of the Carters ville Light and Power Company, is deeply interested in said mat ter. He has come to you with his capital from another state and has invested it in said enterprise upon the faith of said con'ract with your city. Said company has at all times faithfully com plied with the same; it has estab lished and maintained the reqritr number of lamp-posts and has furnished the light for the same until the time the city authorities made default in the payment therefor, although, in order r.o meet the wishes of your city coun cil, the company had, prior there to, upon their application, great ly reduced the contract price for the gas consumed. It is respectfully and earnestly submitted that the proposition now made to you citizens to es tablish an electric light plant at the expense of the city is a gross bieach of faith. The contract WITH THIS C MPANV EXPRESSLV PROVIDES FOR A MODE IN WHICH AN ELECTRIC PLANT MAY BE CON STRUCTED AND OPERATED. It Was in the light of these provisions and upon the faith of the assur ances therein contained that this company'took charge of the gas plant in your midst, and any de viation therefrom, which must re sult in serious injury to this com pany, cannot but be regarded bv every fair minded citizen as a grevious wrong inflicted upon those who, confiding in the good faith of youf city authorities, have invested their capital in your city. It is maintained bv some of your people chat certain provisions con tained in said contract could not be legally enforced, but whether this is true or not, you cannot fail to see that it was solemnly entered into under the seal of your city and with the signature of your citv could not, as honest men, have made the contract for the very purpose of breaking it and deceiving those who came here and risked their money for the purpose of providing your citizens with light. I therefore appeal to you, citi- BOOKS CLOSED. Election To Be Held To-Morrow for Bonds. The election for city electric r ; light bonds will be held to-mor row, 22nd, and from indications the bonds will be carried with a unanimity never before experienc ed in Cartersville. Out 1T the 325 voters registered i : is predicted by some that 275 of them will ca-'t their ballots for the issuing of the bonds. There is a small amount of in .erest taken, apparently, in rhe matter, little or rio agitation be ing made on either side of the question. Mr. Becker, president of the Cartersville Light and Power Company, has issued and circu luted a circular against the issu ing of the bonds, which has been widely read. It is not believed that its publication has helped his cause. He uses some strong terms about breaking of contracts, etc. Whether it has the effect de sired by Mr. Becker remains to be seen. Those who favor the issuing Of the bonds are quietly at work. They are generally the tax pay ers, who have grown tired of the poor service rendered in lighting the streets of the town, about which there has been a chronic complaint for years. The people will no doubt settle the matter of lights, so long mooted, to-morrow by declaring for the issuing of the electric light bonds. zens of Cartersville, who have the honor of your city at heart, and especially to you, the ministers of the gospel and all other guardians of the good morals of this com munity, to determine by your votes whether it is right and just that you should take a step now, in the face of said contract, by which you will not only plunge your city into a heavy debt, but by which you also brand yourselves and your city as unfair and outrageous ly unjust in the treatment of strangers.

Presbyterian Church at Raccoon Mills Now Bears This Name. Thischurch is at Raccoon Mills, three miles south of Summerville, in Chattooga county and on the C. R. & S R R. On last Sab bath it was dedicated. Rev. E. M. Craig, of Cartersville, preach ing the sermon and offering the dedicatory pra) er. The church was built at a cost of about $1,400 in 1896 and has just been furnish ed with handsome pews at a cost of $450. It is entirely free of debt. The name was changed from Salem to that of Milner Memorial, a memorial of Rev. Wm. A. Milner, who for about 25 years so faithfully preached in all that section. Without any intention on the part of those arranging for im portant events in the historv of the church, the) have made Mil ner Memorial to appear as a daughter of the Cartersville church. Mr. Milner's grand father was the first member and elder of the Cartersville church. His father was its first pastor; Mr. Milner was received into the church here and was the first to go from this church into the ministry. Rev. E. 1). McDougall, when pastor of this church was sent by the presbytery to assist in the organization of the church at Raccoon and held the first meet ing for the new church and lastly, Rev. E. M. Craig was called upon to preach the dedication sermon. Mr. Craig in calling the attention of the congregation to the above facts called their attention to the fact that Mr. Milner’s mother was still Hying and a regular attendant of her church of which she has been a member for 56 years and that his brother, Judge T. W. Milner and his sis ters, Mrs. Chas. McEwen and Mrs. S. F. Milam were still with us. The congregation was deeply moved by these things which brought back to them so vividly their pastor for so many years whom they loved as a father. Rev. Wm. Goddard, their pres ent pastor, is pastor also of Sum merville and Alpine churches.
