The Supper Last Friday Evening*
lake everything the ladies of the
Presbyterian church undertake, the
supper at the city hall last Fiiday
evening was a success. From the
beginning to the close of the festi
val a happy and animated crowd
filled the chamber and solid good
cheer reigned supreme. i’hc tables
were loaded with all the delicacies
and substantial the appetite could
crave anti it seemed in quantities
sufficient to gorge the whole popu
lation of the town. Hut alas! the
deceit of human vision. It looked
as if the hungry crowd had gone
through a systematic training for
the occasion, or else the bright eyes
and blooming cheeks that are
known to intoxicate are also equally
effective in luring the appetite to
its most destructive and unnatural
point. The hoaps of savory meats,
stacks of rich andtempting salads,
the piles of cakes and other sweets,
the caldrons of coffee and choco
late disappeared with a rapidity
that was startling to the aesthetic
taste—conclusively proving how se
verely real man is, after all. A
most popular feature of the affair
was the flower department where
a most exquisitely arranged but
tonaire, with the .pin thrown in,
could he purchased for a trifle, and
better still, it was placed on the
lappel by hands that would send a
thrill of indescribable pleasure
through the soul of the happy
victim.
The ladies were pleased with the
great success of the supper. 'About
seventy clear dollars will help to
swell the church improvement fund
as a result of the evening’s enter
tainment.

Rev. H. J. Ellis, the new pastor

to a large congregation last Sunday
morning and a still larger one at
night. At the latter time the other
churches joined in with the Metho

tor. In liw two sermons Mr. Ellis
pleased his hearers even beyond
their expectation. He is a gifted
speaker and is earnest in what he
says, striking boldly at what he con-
ceives to be wrong ami in beautiful
and chaste language tells of the
glory of true religion. The Metho
dists are to be congratulated in
having him as their pastor.

Carterhvtllk, Ga., Dec. 17. —
The recent activity in the mineral
interest of this] section is giving
Cartersville quite an impetus. No
town in Georgia, perhaps, is better
or more favorably known. Its re
sources have become celebrated far
and wide, and those who learn of
them make but one prediction, and
(hilt is that it is destined to become
one of the leading iron manufac
turing centers of the south. Being
located in (he midst of one of the
richest agricultural and mineral
sections of the country, it only
needs the development of these re
sources to place it abreast with the
most prosperous of the south’s in
lustrial cities. And the fact that
'rent progress is being made in de
veloping its wonderful mineral in
terest has already added much to
its prosperity.
THE FUTURE OF TIIE CITY.
Hon. J. ('. Wofford, who lias
served Oartersville so ably in the
capacity of mayor for the past two
years, said to your correspondent,
in answer to a question as to what
he thought of Cartersvilie’s futiyc
prospects: “I regard them as bright
or brighter than those of any town
in the state. The unsurpassed re
sources, both in minerals and the
productiveness of the soil of the
surrounding country, together with
the salubrity of the climate, com
bine to give it advantages over any
point of which I have any knowl
edge in the south. The growth of
the city for the past twelve months
is unparalleled in its history. With
in that time we have established
one of the best and most successful
systems of public schools in the
state. This aloue, in my judgment,
will he one of the most potential
factors in our town’s future growth
and prosperity. We are already
feeling its beneficial effects. We
have, also, within that time, estab
lished first-class gas and water
plants and added a quarter of a mil
lion dollars in taxable property.
Just here I wish to say that Car
te rsvl lie’s tax rate, covering the en
tire municipal expenses, is only
eight and one-half mills, and that,
too, based upon perhaps the most
conservative assessed values of any
town or city in the state having
public schools, streets lighted with
gas, and a water supply for public
fountains and fire protection. These
tilings, coupled with Cartersville’s
great advantages, must and will
bring it to the front, and I look for
marked improvement over the past
year for the next twelve months.”
DECIDED IMPROVEMENTS COMING.
I Lon. John If. Wikle, the mayor
elect, said, in answer to an inter
rogatory by your correspondent as
to what he thought of the outlook
of Cartersville: “1 believe the next
few months will show a very de
cided improvement, the present ac
tivity of the mineral interest, the
building of the East and West rail
road shops, and other enterprises in
contemplation, all indicate better
times, the broadening of the East
and West railroad, and its increase
of rolling stock and hauling capacity
will he of great benefit to Carters
ville. All tilings eonsidered, we
are laying a solid foundation for a
prosperous city. Our merchants,
this fall, have suffered some from
the shortness of the cotton crop of
this immediate section; but this is
only temporary. I think the great
ly increased development of the
mining interest around Cartersville,
and the large amount of money
paid to the laborers at the mines,
all of whom make Cartersville their
trading point, will more than coun
terbalance the loss of trade on ac
count of shortage of the crops.”
THE MINES ABOUND.
Judge Thomas W. Milner, one of
our most observant and public
spirited citizens, when asked what
he thought of Cartcrsville’s pros
pects, said: “They are very bright.
She lias more raw material in her
iron, manganese, ochre, graphite,
gold and silver mines recently dis
covered, than any other point in
the south. So far she is in the pro
duction of her mines of manganese
ahead of any other section; and
this, with her bessemer ores, makes
her the finest location for an exten
sive steel plant in the south. Her
minerals alone would employ thous
ands of men in constant labor. If
we have to depend on water power
to move machinery in the manu
facture of cotton, or other enterpri
ses, the Etowah river furnishes the
i finest waterpower in the south. If
the power of the future is to be elec
tricity, then with our water power
we can generate and transmit to all
enterprises which may lie put in
operation at Cartersville, and sup
ply by transmission Atlanta, Bir
mingham, Chattanooga and other
enterprising towns, with nil the
power that they may want. With
Cartersville's future prospects i re
gard real estate within her limits
and vicinity as a safe and profitable
investment.”
These views are entertained by
all of our prominent business men,
and none who are at all familiar
with Cartersville’s natural sur
roundings can fail to see the bright
est future for the place.
Never before lias so much inter
est been manifested in the minerals
of Bartow county. Iron men from
all quarters are being attracted
here, and when they come express
wonder at the quantity, quality and
variety of the ores they find; and
many of them purchase or lease
mines before leaving.
GENERAL OK ANGER’S COMPANY.
General A. O. Granger’s compa
ny, of Philadelphia, which bought
the famous Etowah property, and
which is now making develop
ments on an extensive scale, we
understand, will in the near future,
establish a large plant near here.
General Butler’s company, which
recently bought the Satterfield
manganese mine, located two miles
from town, ere preparing to build
a railroad to the mines; and when
completed, they propose to erect a
ferro-manganese furnace, either in
Oartersville or at the mine . It is
rumored that the South Chicago
Steel Company have taken a lease
on some of the finest manganese
property in the county, and will,
in the early spring, begin the erec
tion of a steel plant at Cartersville,
leasing properties, it is said, with
the view of locating enterprises
here. Everything points to an im
mediate boom in Bartow county’s
minerals.
Cartersville’s growth in the last
tvyelve months, both in population
and increase of property, is thirty
per cent, greater than that of any
preceding year. She has built more
business houses and residences
than in any previous year; estab
lished public schools; the Oriental
Illuminating Company has estab
lished a gas plant; the Jeter A
Boardnian Gas and Board man Gas
and Water Association have built
a first-class system of water works
at a cost of !j!68,000; the Etowah
Ice Company have built a factory
often tons capacity per day; a bot
tling factory lias been established;
the Etowah Oil Refining company
have established a factory turning
out the highest grade of lubricating
oils; a couple of ochre mills of large
capacity have been built; planing
mill; and a national bank doing a
most prosperous business—this all
in one year, makes a record of
which Cartersville is proud, and
are unmistakable evidences of her
growth and prosperity. The three
leading hotels of the town —the St.
James, the Miller house and the
Etowah house, are being thorough
ly renovated; they are to be refur
nished from pit to garret, and gas
and water put in. They will change
hands the first of January, and Car
tersville can tlu'ii boast of throe as
well kept hostelries as can be found
in the state.
l’U< IS 1* K( TIVK RAI I.KOA DS.
There is another matter that is
exciting considerable interest in
Cartersville just now, that is her
prospective railroads. The exten
sion of the East and West eastward
until it taps the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad is pretty well
assured, with splendid prospects
of a continuation to Gainsville.
A company to build the Fairmount
\ alley railroad, composed of some
of the leading citizens of Bartow,
Gordon, and Murray counties and
capitalists of East Tennessee, lias
been organized with Mr. H. H. Hall
of this place as president. The pro
posed termini of this road are Car
tersville and Knoxville. When
built, it will develop some of the
richest mineral and agricultural
properties in the state, and will tie
of incalculable benefit to Carters
ville. The projectors of the road
are enthusiastic over its project.
The East and West is rapidly
broadening its gauge, and will at
once begin the erection of exten
sive shops at this place.

RELICS OF THE FAST.
Some Interesting Cnriostles and Keep
sakes.
The Courunt-American has re
cently been shown several interest
ing relics of the past. Among these
is an old book owned by Mr. 8. T.
McCandless, that is printed in the
German language. It was printed
in the year 1705 and is copiously il
lustrated. The wood cuts represent
machinery of that day, prominent
among them were mills, water
works, etc. Horse and human pow
er were the agencies used to run h >
machinery. Tlie.se quaint illustra
tions are decidedly interesting and
furnish much food for reflection in
the differences of the methods of
those and modern times. Mr.
McCandless has also an old revolu
tionary minnie ball dug up atYork
town during the late war when the
confederate forces were entrench
ing themselves behind breastworks.
I)r. Miot has also several interest
ing collections of relies of the late
war. Among them are some con
federate cartridges, which were
known as “buck and ball.” Three
buckshot are on top and then comes
the ball and powder, all of which
are wrapped in common brown
paper. An old cap tnd ball pistol
is also in the collection. He has an
old Indian tomahawk made of stone.
A pair of razors used by his grand
father are among the doctor’s highly
valued treasures. Another thing
worthy of interest, though not so
aged, is a genuine mudstone. It
is comforting to know that should
a case of hydrrphobia occur here,
this valuable stone would be handy.
Mr. W. C. Baker, in looking over
some old papers, ran across several
that are of interest as curiosities.
One of these was an assessment
return, dated November 6,1863, the
government levying ten per cent,
on all the products of the farm.
Each farmer and planter had the
privilege of reserving fifty bushels
of sweet potatoes, fifty bushels of
Irish potatoes, 100 bushels of corn
or 50 bushels of wheat, produced in
1863, and 20 bushels of peas and
beans, but not more than 20 bushels
of both, for his own use. In mak
ing tiie estimate and assessment
the above mentioned quantities
were excluded therefrom.

simply marvelous. In three or four weeks a
complete cure was wrought, leaving the little fel
low’s person as white and healthy as though he
had never been attacked. In my op nion, .your
valuable remedies saved his|life, andtodav he is a
strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition
of the disease having ever occurred.

Boy Covered with Scabs.
My boy, aged nine years, has been troubled
all his life wit h a very bad huinor. which appeared
all over his body In small red blotches, with a
dry white scab on them. Last year he was worse
than ever, being covered with scabs from the top
of his head to his feet, and continually growing
vvorse, although he had been treated by two phy
sicians. Asa last resort, I determined to try the
Cuticura Remedies, and am happy to sa.v they
did all that I could wish. Using them according
to directions, the humor rapidly disappeared,
leaving the skin fair and smooth, and performing
a thorough cure. The Cuticura Remedies are
all you claim for them. They are worth their
weight in gold.

A MONTHLY REYIEW OF LIYING SUBJECTS
By the Foremost Writers in the World.
THE FORUM has won the highest place
reached by any periodical; for it pub
lishes articles by more authoritative
writers and by more workers along instruc
tive lines of activity than any other publica
tion. It contains eleven studies of great
subjects every month. It is impartial, giv
ing hearings alike to each side. It is finan
cially independent, and it belongs to no sect
or party or “interest.” It is never sensa
tional, but it aims always to bo instructive.
Nothing Like It.
We claim that there is no remedy that
vill do the work that our Providential
Pile Preparation is doing. It not only
gives immediate relief, hut effects a per
manent cure in a very short t me, is per
rectly harmless, does not interfere with
:lie ordinary routine of business.

Tliis is to hear testimony tlmt I have
used 11. C. Mooney’s Providential Pile
Preparation liniment for the ulcerated
piles, and though I have tried a great
many other remedies for this complaint,
this is the only one that ever gave me re
lief. I cheerfully recommend the P. P.
P. Liniment to all who are suffering with
this much dreaded disease.
