A GROWING CITY.
Cartprsville, the Beautiful ({uern
of the Etowah.
ll*r Many Advantage* and Wonderful'
Konouroos—Her Splendid Groutk—
llpr Itright Future.
Wp extract the following from a
capital article written by Mr. H. M.
Blackburn for a r(“cent isßue of the
Atlanta Constitution:
A mineral center.
The beautiful queen of the
Etowah.
A God-favored spot In natures’*
domain.
Possessing all the advantages
that nature can bestow.
Acknowledging no dictator ex
cept the indomitable will of her
people.
This attractive city of compre
hensive resources and absorbing
activity is as sure to be a manufac
turing center as natural advanta
ges induce material development.
The beauty of her location, the
abiding faith of her thoughtful and
progressive people, the wonderful
and enduring lcrtility of her soil,
the splendid store of wealth in iron,
manganese, ochre, slate, marble,
limestone, sandstone, etc., together
with the innumerable and inesti
mable advantages of health, culture
and position, all combine to make
Cartersvilie great.
I have never been more profound
ly impressed with the opportunities
of any point in all the scope of my
investigation, than with the ex
ceptional advantages of this phe
nomenally favored cityof the great
mineral belt of Georgia.
She has as pure water as was
ever distilled from nature’s labora
tory.
As delightful a climate as ever
gave roseate health to southern
beauty.
A location as admirable as any
that ever breathed life into indus
trial progress.
Surrounded by a region of coun
try as fertile and productive as
ever sustained a happy and pros
perous people.
Imbued with a confidence as en
during as the brick walls that
evince her progress, and the happy
homes that attest her contentment.
A splendid system of water works,
with a capital of $75,000, secures
low insurance rates.
One of the best plants for gas
works in the state, with a capital of
$25,000, furnishes the light for the
city.
Hot in the midst of iiii'is that hold
an abundant store of iron, mangan
ese and ochre, giving her an easy
prominence as a center in the
mineral region of the south.
Cartersvilie enjoys so yiany ex
cellencies, has such vast resources
and incomparable advantages, that
an observant stranger cannot enter
her '.'nails without being charmed
beyond measure and amazed be
yond comparison.
The assessed value of her taxable
property in 1889 01’51,357, 1 000 showed
h steady increase over past years.
Her low tax rate of eight anil a
half mills includes water, gas,
public schools and current expen
ses.
There is a degree of religious
growth in this community that is
not excelled by any city of like size
anywhere.
It is a prohibition town without
blind tigers, and so intensely mor
al are her people that drunken
men and swearing men are street
annoyances that are refreshingly
rare.
Distinctive in many things, she Is
the home of Sam Jones, the great
est evangelist on the continent;
J till Arp, easily the first humorist
of the land, and Dr. and Mrs. Felton,
one a statesman of national reputa
tion, the other the strongest and
most trenchant writer in the union.
To this list of notables may be
added Mr. A. O. Granger, a recent
Philadelphia acquisition, whose ex
tensive mining operations will
make him equally as prominent as
a develaper in the material world.
Then there is her citizenry of ex
alted and thrifty manhood and no
ble and refined womanhood, sturdy
ornaments in the domain of devel
opment and brilliant jewels in the
crown of virtue, making her as
prominent in the character of her
people as she is resourceful in the
extent of her material advantages.
It is a wonderful place in many re
spects, and tiie prodigious develop
ment of the near future will empha
size this statement.
Cartersvilie is no less distinctive
in her location. Situated on the
Western and Atlantic railroad, at
the junction of the East and West
road of Alabama, forty-eight miles
north of Atlanta, ninety miles from
Chattannooga, and 151 miles from
Birmingham. Two miles south of
the city flows the beautiful Etowah
river, and one mile north, Pettit’s
creek, affording a supply of water
sufficient for the various manufac
turing industries that will inevita
bly be built here. The Allatoona
and Pine Log mountains, spurs of
the Blue Ridge, rise up on the east
and north of this city of 3,500 inhab
itants, furnishing a vast store of
universal wealth, which insures ac
tive mining operations for years to
come. A charter has been secured
for the running of a road from Car
tersvilie to Gainesville, on the Rich
mond and Danville road, a distance
of seventy miles. This road will
open up a section rich in minerals
and stones and abounding in fertile
farm lands. Along the route of this
road aresome of the richest placer
gold mines ever discovered, which
were abandoned in the past on ac
count of being so high in suiphurets,
there then being no process known
by which the gold could be saved.
The entire section abounds in miner
als and stones,besides furnishing pic
turesque attractions that would en
tertain those of extensive travel
and research. The city has a series
of general elevations that give it an
admirable natural drainage and in
sure the finest health.

OI K DKAII HKKOES.
Memorial Services Held at Caftsvllle on
Last Saturday.
Last Saturday the Ladies Mem
orial Association of Cassvillo held
memorial services in honor of the
dead confederate soldiers.
The crowd at the cemetery was
a large one, and showed that the
spirit of the old south is as live as
ever and that the memory of those
patriotic heroes who died for south
ern principles is cherished as fond
ly now as in days gone by.
Several prominent speakers were
invited to be there, but owing to
unadvoidable causes they could not
he present; and for the first time in
the history of the association, no
oration was delivered.
Mr. W. A. Chunn was there and
in response to a pressing invitation
lie made a short talk. His remarks
were very suitable to the occasion
and were delivered in his usual
eloquent manner. After this the
graves were beautifully decorated
with flowers. There are about three
hundred soldiers’ graves there and
loving hands placed flowers on
them all.
At the conclusion of the decora
tion the association met and effect
ed a system by which the whole
cemetery will be well kept and the
graves cleaned and cared for dur
ing the whole year.
It was also decided that in the
future the 2(>th day of April was to
be regularly observed as memorial
day. These noble women deserve
all honor and praise for the splen
did manner in which they have
managed the affairs of the associa
tion, and their effort to perpetuate
this sacred work should he heartily
responded to by every true citizen.
Children's Hay at the Methodist Church.
Promptly at 10:30 a. m. the ser
vice began. The congregation was
quite large. Responsive readings,
songs by the children and recita
tions by two little girls, Mary Mun
ford and Clyde Ellis, occupied the
first half hour. At 11 o’clock the
pastor, Mr. Ellis,stated that lie had
announced in the city paper that
he would preach on “Little Things,”
but that Rev. M. J. Cofer, presiding
elder of the Blue Ridge district,
having (alien in with us, he would
introduce him to the congregation.
Rev. Mr. Cofer stated that the men
having been changed, the subject
would also and lie would discourse
to them of “Big Things.” His sub
ject was “The Training of the
Young.” He closed his sermon|
with an appeal in behalf of Young
Harris Institute. The collection)
for the institute, the larger part
given by Rev. S. P. Jones, amount
ed to $304.75. A characteristic ser
mon was preached at night by Rev.
Sam P. Jones.
BARTOW COUNTY.
Agricultural Wealth and Great
Mineral Resources.
Fine Farm* ami Klrh I>epo*lt* of Iron,
MangaiM****. and Ollier Mineral*—
A Bright Outlook.
Mr. 15. M. Blackburn, writing to
the Atlanta Constitution, says:
The productive qualities of the soil
of Bartow county will compare with
any section of the country. 1 ndeed,
this is so eminently true that Bar
tow ranks as one of the banner
farming counties of the state, pro
ducing a variety of crops that show
fortti the surpassing climate and
fertility of the section.
Cotton, corn, tobacco, all the cul
tivated grasses, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, sorghum, groundpeas, all the
products of the temperate zone, ex
cept some varieties of the citrus
family, find in Bartow county a
soil and climate congenial and in
vigorating, and they reach as great
perfection there as anywhere in the
state. The average-yield per acre
of cotton for the whole county is
one-half bale; the average yield per
acre for the state is about one-fifth
bale. The average yield of corn
for the state is about 24,0(X),000
bushels. Of this Bartow county
produces about 400,000 bushels.
In speaking of the iron deposits
of this section, the late Dr. John
W. Lewis wrote:
“Of the wonderful profusion of
these ores and their richness I can
speak in the highest terms. 1 have
visited almost all the great iron de
posits of the United States and
have explored the beds of iron
mountains of Missouri, but have
never been so impressed by any ex
hibition of ore as by the mines of
the Etowah district.” The same
author says: “The iron ore, which
is of excellent quality, is inexhaus
tible.” Senator Joseph E. Brown
endorses what Dr. Lewis said, and
has emphasized his excellent judg
ment by making large purchases of
these ores. A committee from the
legislature of the State of Georgia
endorses it as follows: “The miner
al resources along the valley of the
Etowah river are very great and
exceedingly interesting to the state,
especially those of iron.” The
quality of these ores is unimpeach
able, as will be seen by the follow
ing analysis from samples obtained
by the former state geologist, and
by him forwarded to Professor
White, state chemist, at Atlanta,
Georgia:
BAMPLKH OF BHOWN IKON ORE.
Metalio iron 61.100
Sulphur 005
Phosphorus 000
The manganese mines of Carters
vilie are said to he the best in the
country, and the next report of ti e
department of mineralogy will
place this city first as a producing
point. The manganese here is
lower in phosphorus than that of
any other locality. Besides the var
ious uses to which it is put, manga
nese is absolutely essential in the
Bessemer process of making steel,
which enables the manufacture of
steel at a cost of one cent per pound,
against the old cost of live and ten
cents. Five pounds of ferromanga
nese, mixed with ninety-five pounds
of pig iron, makes one hundred
pounds of steel. The great steel
works of the world are dependent
upon manganese for their success.
To show the quality of this ore I
quote the following analysis of Pro
fessor White:
* Per ct.
Manganese dynoxido 87.960
Equivalent to metallic mauganese.s4.97s
Oxide of iron and alumina . 3.250
Sulphur .008
Phosphorus .. .120
Silica 8.350
Water or organic matter 1.041
There are two active ochre mills
in Cartersvilie, and both produce
fine goods. The golden ochre is pe
culiar to this section of the state,
in intrinsic value as a point being
very superior. Having 33 percent,
of iron, it mixes readily with the
oil and spreads beautifully. It is
in this respect superior to the com
mercial ochre, having metallic qual
ities, which give it a body.
A NEW CHIEF.
Mr. John IV Akin Fleeted Chief of the
Fire Department.
At a meeting of the Cartersvilie
Fire Department, held last Mon
day night, Mr. John W. Akin was
elected chief, vice Mr. W. M. Gra
ham, resigned.
While he held the position Mr.
Graham made an enthusiastic and
efficient chief and it was regretted
by the department boys that he
was compelled to resign on account
of continued absence from the city.
The selection of Mr. Akin to fill
the vacancy is a good one and as its
chief officer he will doubtless make
a great success of the department.
The fire department is now get
ting in first-class shape. The 500
extra feet of hose, recently ordered,
has arrived and the hook and lad
der trucks are expected every day.
The hook and ladder company will
be organized shortly and then the
department will be complete.
Mr. R. M. Clinkscales, of Mariet
ta, was in the city Tuesday taking
the measures of the firemen for the
uniforms. In a week or two the
boys will be ready to be out on dress
parade.
The old Tumlin mill is now in first
class repair and running day and night.
A first-class miller is in charge. Those
wishing corn or wheat grouiul should I
bring it to this mill, as satisfaction is
guaranteed. mlo-lt *
A Dirge Family Lathering.
TheChattooga News, of last week,
contains an interesting account of
the family reunion of Mr. and Mrs.
R. W. Jones, at the home of their
daughter, Mrs. J. S. ('leghorn. The
occasion of this gathering vas the
twentieth marriage anniversary of
Mr. and Mrs. ('leghorn. Those
present were Mr. and Mrs. It. W.
Jones, and their eight children,
there never having been a death in
the family, Mrs. J. S. (’leghorn,
Summerville; Mrs. J. A. Starling,
Rockmart, Ga.; Mrs. J. F. Wardlaw
and Mrs. R. M.Dowdell, Rome,Ga.;
R. C. Jones, Sandersville, Ga.; T. R.
Jones, J. P. Jones and Mrs. L. H.
Munford, Cartersvilie, Ga. Mr.
and Mrs. Cleghorn are to be con
gratulated on being able to get to
gether this large and interesting
family. We trust that there may
be many other such happy reunions
ere there is a broken link in the
family chain.
Heath of a (Veil Known Citizen.
Mr. Robert Mayben, a well known
citizen of this county, died last
Saturday at his home at Rowland
Springs. He had many friends
who will mourn his death. He
had been ill only a short while.
Laying Steel Balls.
On the East and West railroad,
last Tuesday morning, a large force
of workmen commenced laying
steel, broad-gauged rails at Grady,
corning this way. It will not be
very long Defore the track, from
Hebron to this city, will be broad
gauge.
Mr. Huy ton’s Snake Story.
Mr. 1). J. Guyton, who lives near
this city, killed a large chicken
snake, a few days ago under pecu
liar circumstances. Mr. Guyton’s
cow had failed to come up at the
usual time and he went out in
search for her. After a long hunt
he found the animal in a field and
when he attempted to drive her
homeward she would not move.
Upon closer inspection Mr. Guyton
met with a surprising sight. Wrap
ped around one of the legs of the
cow was a large snake, the head of
which was doing effective service
in drawing lacteal fluid from one
of the teats. Jt took only a few
minutes to kill the snake, which
was found to be of the chicken
variety, measuring six feet and
eight inches. As Mr. Guyton is a
reliable man, his snake story, the
first of the season, will be credited
by all who know him.

REV. J. B. HAWTHORNE
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
DR. KING’S
pi epinm
The following Is an extract from a letter writ
ten by the World Renowned Evangelist:
'* I returned from Tyler, Texas, on the 12th
Inst. I find my wife has been taking Royal
Germetuer to trie GREAT UPBUILDING of
her physical system. She is now almost free
from the distressing headaches with which she
has been a MARTYR for twenty years. Surely
it has done wonders for her ! 1 WISH EVERY
POOR SUFFERING WIFE HAD ACCESS TO
THAT MEDICINE.”
Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, Pastor First Baptist
church, Atlanta, Ga., was cured of a long stand,
mg case of Catarrh. His wife had been an in
valid from nervous headache, neuralgia, and
rheumatism FOR THIRTY YEARS scarcely
having a day’s exemption from pain. After
taking Royal Germetuer two months, he writes:
"A more complete transformation I have never
witnessed. EVERY BYMPTON OF DIBEABE HAS
DISAPPEARED, she appears to be twenty years
{outiger, and is as happy and playful as a
ealthy child. We have persuaded many of our
friends to take the medieine, and the testimony
of all of them Is that It is a great remedy.”
Dr. King’s Royal Germetuer is a boon to
women. It builds up the strength. Increases the
appetite, aids digestion, relieves them of the
cause of disease, and insures health.
It is an infallible cure for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia. Paralysis, Insomnia, Dyspepsia. Indi
festion. Palpitation. Liver, Bladderand Kidney
Mseases, Chills and Fevers, Catarrh, all Blood
and Skin Diseases, Female Troubles, etc.
Prompted by a desire to reach more suffering
iveople, the price has been reduced from $2.50 to

of the nicest and best, as guests may be
pleased to order, and, at exceptionally
low rates. The dining rooms are chiefly
under direction of Mr. I. V. Johnson
and his several assistants, directing
some thirty or more attentive waiters.
The several skilled cooks, in that essen
tial department, are also under the eye
of Superintendent Johnson, and as we
are informed and believe, are of the
best that money can obtain.
The register, in the hotel office up
stairs, is presided over by Major Reese
and his assistant, Mr. King, so that
every department of the establishment
seems to move with clock like regularity.
The head and proprietor of this insti
tution is that quiet, yet social, gentle
man of sixty or more that you find at
his desk in the restaurant below, and'
near him sits his honest old cashier,
Henderson, whom everybody knows,
loves and honors. Eds.
