EAST AND WEST RAILROAD.
The Chauge of Gauge on the Road Sun
day.
The track of the East and West
railroad has been widened from
Grady to Hebron, a distance of fifty
two miles. The work commenced
Sunday morning and was finished
Monday about noon.
Early Sunday morning workmen
along the line were busy. Each
section boss had a large squad of
men under him, and as fast as
strong hands could pull out the
spikes, reset the rails and drive
down more spikes the road was
widened.
Col. Ball’s private car was taken
to Cedartown Saturday afternoon
and all the time the work was
going on he was busy inspect
ing what had been done and direct
ing his officials in regard to the
operations. It was a big task to
change the gauge, and it is a matter
of congratulation that so much of it
has been accomplished.
At Hebron the event was cele
brated with a barl>ecue Monday
afternoon. It was a fine spread and
a general good time was had.
Sunday morning a number of
Cartersville people, consisting main
ly of the employes of the road,
headed by Master of Transportation
Johnson, left for what was intended
to be a trip over that portion of the
road to be widened, but they were
unable to get further than Cedar
town. At Grady they left the nar
row' gauge coach, and, after a short
walk, reached the handsome boad
guage coach, drawn by one of the
Baldwin engines. From there they
rode on to Cedartown where they
pleasantly spent several hours.
As soon as the bridge over the
Coosa river is in passable condition
the work af widening the guage on
the other end of the line will be re
newed. After this is done the work
on this end will be begun. It is
hoped to get the road in first-class
condition by the first of July.
Already some fine rolling stock
has been received. They have four
fine, large engines; a beautiful, first
class coach and two good secoud-
class cars. The freight cars and
cabs are being built at Anniston and
Gadsden, and by the time the work
is finished Receiver Rail expects to
have plenty of first-class rolling
stock to do the business.
The bulk of the present business
of the road is between Grady and
Hebron, mainly in shipping ores,
and it was for that reason the
change was first made on that por
tion of the road.
We will all be glad when all the
improvements on the road are com
pleted. It will be a great boon to
the shippers along the line, to Car
tersville, and to the road itself.

THE
First National Bank sßartersuille.
Cartersville, Ga., March 25,1890.
This Bank opened Its doors to the public May Ist, 1889.
The necessary outfit and preparations for conducting its business with absolute saftey involved con
siderable expense, the Bank having purchased one of Herring’s large Patent Champion Fire and Burglar
Proof Safes with Combination Locks, and then contracted with the Hall’s Safe and Lock Company to put
one of Hall’s Infallible Time-Lock attachments on the door of the Burglar department of the Safe, at an
additional expense of nearly 1350.00, thereby securing for the Bank and its customers the very best protection
that the country affords.
The new institution was, of course, without customers or business. Only one-half of its Capital Stock
was paid in at the beginning, and it required time for that half to be invested satisfactorily. The whole
amount of Capital was not paid up until the latter part of September, and the whole not invested until about
the first of December. From the testimony of the oldest merchants and other citizens, we must believe that
this county has experienced the worst season for business, and that there is less money in circulation, than at
any time for the past fifteen years, or longer.
Now, under all these circumstances, the Management take pleasure in announcing to the stockholders
and friends of the Bank that all the contingent expenses have been paid; we have about 5 per cent, net
profits; have not a past-due or unsecured piece of paper on our books; the Institution is on a solid, sound
basis, with its business fully established and gradually and steadily growing all the time, with every prospect
of its increased usefulness to the people and the business interests of the county.
We feel, therefore, to congratulate ourselves, the stockholders and the citizens of Cartersville and Bar
tow county, that the Institution has been established in our midst; and we most respectfully and confidently
tender our best services to all Corporations, Manufactories, County or City Officials, Receivers, Treasurers,
Trustees, Guardians, Merchants, Farmers and all classes of business people and citizens, generally; assuring
all those who intrust their business to the Bank that it shall receive prompt and careful attention and be
conducted upon the most liberal terms consistent with sound banking principles. And we assure them,
furthermore, that any business they may have with this Bank, and any money they may have on deposit
with it, will be as absolutely safe to them as with any bank in the United States. Hence, there Is no
necessity, whatever, for any of our citizens to keep*money about their houses or in their pockets, as is the
habit of many of the people of this city and of this county. Such habits only invite and tempt thieves and
robbers to murder and steal, for they are generally posted as to who keep their money in that way. It is
much more convenient and much easier to get some money, when you need any, by drawing your check on
the bank than to have to get it back from a thief, even if he does not take your life, as well as your cash. All
deposits that people may have in this Bank are subject to their check at any time, without any notice being
given.
The Cashier of the Bank, who has had an experience and a service in the various departments of the
banking business for more than twenty-five years, and who invites the most searching investigation of any
and every part of that long service, feels warranted in pledging to all of our customers the entire fulfillment
of the assurances given by the management of the Bank in the foregoing statement. He has left his native
Kentucky and located in this best all-the-year climate in America, and has come and cast his lot with this
people to stay, and will continue to give our New Institution his undivided and close attention.
We cordially invite and solicit you to give us a trial.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
J. H. VIVION, Cashier. J. R. WlKLE 'President.
