PUSHING CARTERSVILLE.
Flans of the New Company Tak
ing Hold of Her Interests.
A City of rnsurpassed Advantages, Ca
llable of a Marvelous Growth That
is Likely Soon to be Observed.
[Oorr. Lynchburg, Va., Daily Virginian.]
Cartersville, Ga., June 15.—1
paid a brief visit to this charming
town, the home of Rev. Samuel P.
Jones, well known to many Lynch
burg readers, and of Bill Arp, the
rural humorist. Rev. Sam Jones
has a beautiful home and an inter
esting family here. sfr. Jones is
also an enterprising man of busi
ness and believes in developing
the south. Cartersville is attract
ing large numbers of visitors, drawn
ithere by the immense beds of man-
Sgiane.se, which is as valuable as
gwlUi. On the mountains west of
CarteffSfc'ille it is found in inex
haustlbjg quantities. A company
with Gov. .John B. Gordon, of At
lanta, president, and of which Hon.
X. C. Blanchard, of Louisiana, W.
I*. Moomaw, of Roanoke, and other
men of equal prominece are mem
bers, will push the enterprise on to
success. We beg to consume some
of your space in discussing this
grand country:

The Cartersville Land a,
nese Company will build a *
expense, a large mangant W*f'
mice, which will give employ.
to many hands and an impetus to
an industry destined to make Car '*
tersville the second city in the state
of Georgia. The accessibility of
these ores make it a paying invest
ment to furnace men, and offers
special encouragement to them to
erect furnaces on the ground. The
manganese is now being shipped in
large quantities to Pittsburg and
the large iron markets of the west.
The Western and Atlantic from
Chattanooga to Atlanta and via the
Georgia Central to Savannah, gives
Cartersville connections on all lines
on land and sea, north and west.
The East and West of Alabama con
nects with four trunk lines at Bir
mingham and the Western and At
lantic at Cartersville. The Carters
ville and Gainesville road and the
Cartersville and Marysville road
are projected and will be construct
ed in a short time,both run through
a fertile agricultural region and an
immense mining belt. When com
pleted Cartersville will have four
railroad lines besides her present
close connection with the Rich
mond and Danville, Georgia Pacific,
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-.
gia, Louisville and Nashville, and
other trunk lines to the south and
west, north and south, thus giving j
quick and reliable connections to i
all points, placing Cartersville the f
peer of any other place in the I
world as to railroad facilities; in-3
suring cheap transportation fox*
travel and freight.
Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
is president of the Cartersville Land
and Manganese Company, annf
needs no commendation from us 4< j
the people of the south, and no on e
holds a warmer place in their hear ts
or is held in higher appreciate >n
and esteem by the whole count ry
for his business qualifications, p er
sonal integrity and executive, al iili
ty. Gov. Gordon will at onco as
sume control of the company and
push it on to success.
This thrifty town, 1,200 feet al ove

is situated right at the feet <oa the
Cartersville Land and Maagja nese
Company, and we speak: ad vis edly r

The ey y e of the investor is now
turned to Cartersville and the im

AT HYMEN’S ALTAR.
"Mr. Her mon Clayton Leads to the Altar
One of Florida’s Fair Daughter*.
Last Thursday morning, at the
home of the bride’s parents at Ocala,
Fla. Mr. HermonM. Clayton, a pro
gressive farmer of Floyd county,
and Miss 3-ila Gray were united in
marriage. , .
The bride and groom arrived in
this city Saturday afternoon and
spent a day or two pleasantly with
the family of tlui brother of the
latter, Mr. R. A. Clayton.
Mr. Clayton ha# u large number
of friends in this city, and, indeed
throughout the county, who extend
to him sincere congratulations on
winning the heart and hand ol one
of Florida’s fairest daughters. He
was for a number of years in busi
ness here, but of late has been one
of Floyd county’s best and most
progressive farmers. He has won
great popularity at his new home
and is now being prominently
spoken of as a suitable man to rep
resent his county in the next legis
lature. His bride, a most estima
ble, cultured and refined young la
dx 7 , will find a xvarm welcome
among the friends of her husband
in this section of Georgia.
The Courant-American desires
to add its congratulations and good
wishes to the happy pair.
Severely Shocked.
A telegraph ojierator at Tfcoek
mart received a severe shock last
Sunday afternoon. He was hand
ling the ground wires during an
electrical storm when he received
the shock, which made him sense
less for about three hours.

CARTERSXILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1800.
THEY HAVE ARRIVED.
The City’s New Hook and Ladder
Trucks.
A Company to he Organized at Once—lm
•
portant and Appret iiible Accession to
Our Fire extinguishing Facilities.
The hook and ladder trucks are
here.
They arrived yesterday and were
pronounced very handsome by all
wiio saw them.
Firemen* and citizens turned out
to see them, and it was the univer
sal feeling that the tire department
is now almost complete. We ven
ture the assertion, that no town of
the same size in the state has better
apparatus or more thoroughly
equipped department in every way
than ours.
As soon as the hook and ladder
trucks were rolled out on the depot
platform they were surrounded by
people of all sizes, colors and con
ditions. It was plainly evident that
the feeling in regard to tiremanic
matters hod gone up a notch or two,
and nearly every one thought he
would like to be one of the compa
ny “to run with the machine.”
Col. Warren White forgot his ail
ments long enough to make the as
sertion that lie aimed to get up a
company of men of his age and
size, and Mr. W. C. Baker thought
middle-aged men would be prefera
ble, and that lie was the man to
boss the trucks. The young mar
ried men thought they were the
proper ones to have charge of it,
while the old and young bachelors
talked of combining to capture the
prize. Even the kids set up a cry
for it.
The trucks are thirty feet long
and carry a 60 foot extension lad
der. In color it will conform to the
most approved idea of things that
are painted red. With the trucks
are two axes, two door picks,
that will break down ail obstruc
tions, two pole hooks, one
large chain hook, twelve rubber
buckets, lanterns, crow bars and
thirty feet of rope. On the ladders
are painted, “Cartersville Fire De
partment” and the buckets have on
them “C. E. I).”
The trucks were given an escort
ofhftppF to the place prepared for
th.exji apd jtjher/e they will stay until
the new ,b''gaJiirathu takes them
out for an airing;
Chief Akin has ( cppmissioned
Mr. Benjamin Mejl captain pf the
hook and ladder company ap.d he
will at once prepare to organize his
men. He has already the names of
ten men on his list and he will at
once increase the membership to
twenty. It will take at least that
many to pull the trucks. Mr. Mell
thinks he will get up the crack
company of the.town.
-Mr. Meli came to this city from
Atittpta and is a former Marietta
boy. Ale is an experienced fireman
ai *<l a wever young man.

x p/tHMAJGt CONTEST.
The Local Cotepahie* Jbive a Lillie
Tilt.
The two reel companies Jiad a
ph-asant little contest last Friday
afternoon.
The members were not out in full
force, both companies being short
of men. However, two fairly good
runs were made, under the existing
circumstances, and they were
much enjoyed by a large number of
spectators.
The distance run was one hun
dred and fifteen yards, the plug at
the Jones carriage factory corner
being used.
The first run made was by com
pany No. 2, under command of ac.-
ing captain Mell. The boys started
out with a splendid dasli but some
delay in making connections made
them forty seconds in getting water
from the start.
Company No. I then got in line
for a race, Capt. Miles Dobbins in
command. Their time was in thir
ty-eight seconds, and they were de
clared victors. They made connec
tions rapidly ami the early spurt of
water was hailed with exclamations
of delight.
A “shoo-fly” race, or “ground con
nections,” was next in order, and
picked runners from each company
were selected.
No. 2 had the first start. Vesta
Harxvell and James Alexander
made the nozzle connections and
Charlie Alley and Charlie Collins
were at the plug. The time made
was thirty-four seconds.
The runners for No. 1 were Will
Graham and William A. Williams
fur the nozzle and Harry Hall and
Evan Mays the plug. The run was
a pretty one and connections fault
less. It was the best run of the
afternoon. Time 27 seconds.
The runs were not altogether sat
isfactory. As stated above, tlu* com
panies were short of men. Both
La <ki better, and they will when
ever occasion requires it. With
more practice they will become
first-class fire companies. It was
the first contest te*tween the two
\ local companies and was, therefore,
enjoyed by both firemen and spec
tators.
We hope the boys will treat the
people to an occasional contest. A
little friendly rivalry cm do no
harm and would be the means of
inducing the boys to take much
more interest in tiremanic matters.
(Mae thing we have been requested
to do, and that is to warn people not
to drive over the hose. This lias
been done by several parties, and it
should not be repeated. There is a
city ordinance against it and cases
will be made against those who
violate it,

A Distinguished Georgia Educator.
Prof, Ronald Johnston, late su
perintendent of Cedartown’s public
school, wjis in the city Tuesday
shaking hands with friends. He
has been rusticating for ten days on
the magnificent farm run by his
son-in-law, Mr. Dobbs, near Cal
houn. He was elected unanimously
the other day to the principaisjiip
of Gordon County Institute at Cal
houn. This was a distinguished
compliment, as he was a stranger
personally to all the board. He has
also been elected superintendent of
Tallapoosa’s public schools and it is
known that several other positions
are open to him. Prof. J jhnston is
a ripe scholar, fine instructor and
most exemplary gentleman, and
the community securing his ser
vices may consider itself well
favored.
A Compliment to the Courant-American
Baid a gentleman, who is largely
interested in the new land compa
ny, to a Courant-American reporter
the other day: “I was first attracted
to this section by your admirable
paper. I thought, after reading the
first copy that I saw, that if the town
and surroundings were just as rep
resented, there was no reason
why a large city could not be built
here. A personal investigation lias
convinced me that everything you
have said is true, and there is now
no one more enthusiastic in regard
to tiie future of Cartersville than
myself. You are doing a great
work for your town and county, and
it will certainly bear rich results.”
Coming from the source it did,
tin* compliment is one that we can
not but reel proud of, and we quote
the gentleman’s remark to show
what a real live paper can do for a
town.
If you want ice you can find it in one
of Young <fc Mays’ shakes.
