business daring.—Kemiesaw Gazette.
While building furnaces, dwellings,
store houses, waterworks, gas works and
factories, let us not forget a city park.
-Now, while land is cheap, is the time to
move in this matter. The man who does
most towards giving our city a commo
dious park, will be called blessed by fu
ture generations.
The Courant-AMErican establishment
"as honored by a visit from a bevy of

the modus operandi, and seemed to be
delighted and interested.
We overheard a town darkey directing
a dull-witted lad of his own color from

where Mr. Wofford lives, don’t you?"
• No," replied the lad. “You know, den,

coming a little vexed at the absence of
comprehension, the questioner again
asked: “You know where de court house

Maj. Foute, of this city, tells us that
will propose two or three important
amendments to our State constitution,
should he be elected to the next Lcgisla_
fare. He favors a change in the plan of
selecting our judges and solicitors; and
also a change in the election of Senators,
as to have a number of Senators Hold
°ver from one Legislature to another.
A\e think there is a large field for im
i rovement in both these points.
The announcement of Judge J. A. How.
aul will be found under the proper head.
After a faithful service of twenty-four
years, as ordinary, he proposes to con
tinue in service, if his fellow-citizens so
desire. He is certainly well qualified, by
long experience, to serve the people effi
ciently, and a large number of good
friends will exert themselves to keep him
in office. Our long dealing with him in
his official capacity has always been of
the most pleasant and satisfactory char
acter. *

Maj. A. M. Foute’s name is announced
in this issue of our paper as a candidate
for re-election to the house of represen
tatives. He needs no introduction to
our readers. He was one of the most
useful members of the last house, and is
better able to do good service now than
before, because of his experience. Bar
tow county honors herself when she
honors such men as Maj. Foute.
Mr. W. H. Sadler, of this city, is in
possession of two family heirlooms that
he prizes very highly, and which possess
a historic value. One of these is a walnut
dining table and the other a walking
cane, belonging to and used by his great
great-grandfather, Col. Bratton, one of
South Carolina’s heroes in the revolu
tion, being the leading figure in the de
feat of Huck, an event which helped
largely to turn the tide of American for
tune in that great struggle. They have
been carefully preserved and show little
abuse, considering their age, much over
a hundred years.
Bartow County Agricultural Society,
at the State Convention at Newman last
week, was represented by Capts. T. J.
Lyon and A. F. Woolley, I)r. F. It. Cal
houn and Mr. Thad Hawkins. Of Capt.
Lyon, Mr. W. G. Whidby, one of the
most acute observers and fairest report
ers in the State, in his report for the At
lanta Journal, says: “He is the orator
of the convention, and he deals in sledge
hammer blows. In an eloquent speech he
said the farmers’ alliance would name the
next Governor of Georgia. Several voices
shouted ‘W. J. Northen,’ which was
greeted by applause.”
Cartersville, so favorably situated for
the manufacture of iron, is receiving at
tention from shrewd eastern capitalists.
Close observers regard Cartersville as the
best point in Georgia for iron furnaces—
both for bituminous and charcoal, and
for an iron mill Already has one fur
nace been decided upon, to be built prin
cipally with home capital, and another
is highly probable. Also has Mr. Hiram
Blaisdell, of Boston, arranged to erect
gas works and supply Cartersville with
gas; and waterworks will soon follow.
Thus it is that the cities along the
Western>& Atlantic Railroad thrive and
grow.—Southern Industrial Record.
We read that $200,000 has been sub
scribed for a charcoal iron furnace to be
erected at the new city of Bessemer, Ala.
If a charcoal furnace can live in Besse
mer it would make money “hand over
fist” in Bartow county, near Cartersville,
Ga. There is the finest of ore for char
coal iron, (and probably ore will have
to be shipped from Cartersville for the
Bessemer furnace), sandstone, limestone
and illimitable forests for the very best
quality of charcoal, to be manufactured
by any process; by the old proces laid
down at the furnace at 4c. a bushel.
Furnace men should investigate the ores
and capabilities of Bartow’ county for
turning out iron at a big profit.—South
ern Industrial Record.
A rather lively little shake-up occurred
among the freights on the W. & A. at
this point last Saturday night. It is the
custom for quite a number of through
freights to stop here about ten o’clock.
Two sections, Nos. 2 and 3, were waiting
on the switch when No. 4 through igno
rance of the situation, or somehow, came
up at a speed that caused the engine to
run violently into the cab of No. 3, which
drove the engine of the same train with
force into No. 2. The smokestack of one
of the engines was dislodged and both
engines more or less damaged, the cabs
were mashed in and injured and a number
of the trucks torn from the cars. One
train man asleep on a bunk in one of the
cabs was thrown into the floor but not
injured. It took some little time to get
the track cleared.

Gentlemen—This [>ast summer my wife
was away on a two month’s visit. On
her return home she had a wretched cold,
which, growing worse, caused me to call
in a physician. He attented her several
weeks without benefiting her. She, know
ing the splendid effect S. S. S. had on me
determined to test it in her case. At
that time she had copious and disa
greeable discharges from the left nostril.
Before the first bottle of S.S. S. was used
up she was much better, and a few addi
tional bottles set her all right.
It is remarkable that S. S. S. is good
for colds and sore throats. A few
months ago, I was troubled occasionally
with my throat from preaching. 1 car
ried a bottle of Swift’s Specific with -me
on the circuit. Whenever mv throat be
came irritated and annoyed me I would
take a dose of S. 8. S. just before retir
ing, and on awakening I would be well.
