Mr. Harrison can add some strength to ids monotonously par tisan administration by only inter posing a little veto now and then. Some may assume that the com plaints about pension extravagance are unjust, but when the fact exists that altogether a sum nearly equal to one-third the entire cost of the government is asked for, none but those blind to reason can so con clude. 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.

At the latter time the other churches joined in with the Metho dists in their welcome to their pas 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.

Sunday afternoon at Renfroe’s ore bank a little negro boy, who lives on Dr. Felton’s place, was badly hurt, lie was riding on a hand car and was going down a steep grade, the car running at a considerable speed.

A Cily with a Solid Foundation for (growth. ! <-art*rnvi!le Looking I p in Many Way#— l r nl>unl<‘l Ke#oiirt*<*# ami Match leu# Al vantage#. [Atlanta Constitution.] 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.

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. To tie?
