chants of Cartersville buy the very
best of everything—they can’t put
off inferior goods of any kind on

Some spurious works are being can
vassed for In this section which the
public should beware of. Our peo
ple should liberally encourage Mrs.
Purse In her undertaking.
Mr. W. D. Johnson, master of
transportation of the East and West
railroad, gave the Courant-Amerl*
can typographical force a pleasant
outing last Sunday. They were car.
ried as far as the Coosa river and
were charmed with the beautiful
anil delightful scenery along the
line. At Piedmont they enjoyed
the sensation of being taken for
capitalists on a prospective tour.
Is was a pleasant trip and the boys
thank Mr. Johnson for his kindness
to them.
The prospects for railroad build
ing in this vicinity are good. The
extension of the Rome railroad is
regarded as a certainty. It is pro
bable that the East and West rail
road will also extend its line in an
easterly direction, The Dade Coal
and Iron company will build it#
private road a few miles further
into the midst of a fine mineral
section. The Etowah Iron com
pany will have their engines shriek
ing through Hurricane hollow at an
early day. And still there Is talk
of other railroad enterprises.
Messrs. Martin Collins <fc Cos, have
opened a general houscfarnishlng store
ii the Exchange building, on the east

plete line of stoves, crockery, lamps and

very low and satisfactory prices. They
also keep in stock a good line of coffins
and caskets and are ready to furnish bu
rial outfits on the shortest notice. ml3’3t

In their work of thoroughly test
ing their immense property the
Etowah Iron Company has just
completed the work of sinking a
few shafts on the lots adjoining the
eastern part of the city. A Courant-
American representative happened
in this locality the other morning
and was much surprised at the
nature and extent of the develop
ment. Three or four shafts have
been sunk and in every Instance
large bodies of the richest mangan
ese have been struck. It is of a
porous nature and beautifully chrys
talized. There is no doubt of its
being in great quantity as the
shafts pass through bodies of sev
eral feet in thickness. Such satis
factory sesults as produced in this
locality must be gratifying indeed
to Mr. Granger and his company.
It seems to he the purpose of the
company to thoroughly test the
property and then put in the works,
furnaces, etc., to work up the
raw ores.

“It is estimated that between eight
hundred and one thousand persons
joined the different churches, or
pledged themselve to do so at the
first opportunity, during the meet

of the number who from time to
