J \y<> are glad to learn that Mr, McDade f r ,is not dangerously hurt —having no hones broken —and it is thought he will speedily recover from his wounds and bruises, lb* is one of the most skillful and careful engineers on the road. The supposition is that the cow, which caused the trouble was knocked off by Xo. 19, passing thereabouts o’clock, and that it crawled back on the track ami could not get off. All hands on the unlucky train wore hmll.v shaken up, and one train hand slightly hurt. All trains wore delayed several hours by the wreck, and the side tracks here were full most of the day, but late yes terday afternoon the track was in order., and now everything is moving O. K. This is the first serious accident the “old reliable” has experienced in a long time. Knights of Honor, The local lodge of Knights of Honor enjoyed quite a treat Monday night in tin- visit of Col. John Shannon, Grand Dictator; Frank Johnson. Grand ’Vice- Dictator, and Dr. Drown Dictator of At lanta lodge. They came up to in the installation of officers for the ensuing year, who are the following gentlemen: Col. T. W. Milner, Past Dictator; Dr. AI. M. Puckett, Dictator; E. E. Freeman, Vice-Dictator; Samuel Gallo way, Assistant Dictator; Dr. W. L. Kirk patrick, Reporter; \V. 11. Howard, Finan cial Reporter ; D. F. Godfrey, Treasurer; John T. Owen, Chaplain ; Bartow Leake, bhiide; S. M. Rhea, Guard; Frank Wat- Rrins, Sentinel; W. H. Howard, James B. Louvers and John T. Owen, Trustees. The lodge may well congratulate itself on having such efficient and worthy of ficers, and a prosperous year’s work is promised. The order, it is claimed, is on a firmer | foundation than ever before. Ithas lived and flourished under all drawbacks inci dent to the early history of young insti tutions, fulfilling all obligations, carry ing out, all its purposes signally Mad | completely, and its noble aims under the I many triumphs of its experience stand out invitingly to the man who would provide a fund at death for his family.

A GRAND OPPORTUNITY. To AdvertlKfl Our Splendid Ad vantages— -10,000 Extra Cnurant-Americaiw. Cartersville is fearfully behind in the matter of advertising. If property owners and business men would take hold and raise ft,ooo to be invested in special issues of the Courant-American for distribution abroad, it would be the best investment they could possibly make. We should also have thousands of copies of a truthful pamphlet prospec tus, setting forth our advantages. Cities are being built right along in many locations without one half the natural advantages of Cartersville, by a judicious system of advertising. Let us wake up and take position where our city belongs. It is true, the city is improving steadi ly, and now building more rapidly than at any time in years; but we might make things hum if we would adopt some of the live booming methods of other rap idly growing cities. By a proper course of action our pop ulation might be doubled in the next twelve months, and property values correspondingly increased. With inexhaustible beds of the finest iron ores in the country, and other valuable minerals right at our doors; with an all-the-year-round climate un surpassed by any known part of the world; with health and water unsur passed, we are are really doing the bal ance of mankind a great benefit in let ting these wonderful advantages be known. The publishers are doing all they can afford to in this line —sending out extra copies—but v o need to flood the North with Cartersville literature. We want to get up a special edition of the Courant-American for distribution in the North, the first week in January. We want to send out ten thousand extra copies. We must have a fund raised for this purpose. Will you help in this work? If so, re port at once at this office. While people are locked in by four-foot snows and howling blizzards tip there we want to send sunshine to their gloomy homes, in the shape of glowing descrip tions of the Sunny South, with her pleas ant weather all the year, of Cartersville, with her many inducements to home hunters. Now is the time to act. Let us move iu this matter at once. Ice Factory. AVe are glad to learn from Mr. Dick Jones, who has been interesting himself in the matter for some time, that the ar rangements have about been perfected for the establishment of an ice factory in this city. The work will be pushed right ahead, and we will be turning out ice for eon sumption next season. This enterprise will eulistsome Northern with home capital and will be the means of securing for Cartersville several more good citizens. Let us have more of theimportant and useful small industries. They build up cines more rapidly even tlvan the larger enterprises. TI iei ce fact ory is assu red.. No wfor th e next thing that is to move Cartersville on to a great future. At Leipsic, 0., Monday night, a man named Slick was taken by a party of masked men and beat nearly to death, for beating his wife, and neglecting to provide for his family. At tlie Opera House. Charlie Milam exerts himself greatly to make the amusement season a success, and provide our people with meritorious shows. He corresponded with the Fore man-Morton combination a few months ago and thought their appearance here last week would be a good card, as the company had been playing eo big audi ences, and givingsatisfaction. The com pany had the misfortune to lose several of its best female members just before arrival here and presented Friday night the “Cuban Spy” with a curtailed cast. It was like a wagon wheel minus several spokes— didn’t go, and Saturday night the audience was the slimmest ever seen gn the'opera house. The company is composed ot apparently a genteel set of young men and Miss Dunbar, and did some clever acting, but owing to the em barrassing circumstances, had some dif ficulty in getting away without having attachments served upon their baggage. Such is theatrical lite. Now For the Gas Works, Mr. Hiram Blaisdell. of Boston, repre senting thecompany that has contracted with this city for supplying gas, arrived last Tuesday to arrange for the location of the plant, so that this important en terprise will be pushed right ahead. Mr. Blaisdell represents that capitalists of Boston and other Eastern cities have their eyes on this section of country, and it behooves Cartersville to bestir herself so as to attract attention to her unsur passed resources. The gas company have been given twenty five acres of beautiful ground iu the southern suburbs, and will erect a number of handsome cottages, and beautify the grounds. As we have before said, this is a most important movement, as it will interest a large syndicate in the growth and pros perity of Cartersville, and should receive the hearty encouragement of all our people. The Goose Clul>. The club will have its fourth annual en tertainment at the residence of Mrs. M. R. A kern) an, on Friday night of next week, the 28th inst., and the event prom ises to be the most enjoyable of any in the history of that famous body of gay young spirits. An elaborate invitation has been printed and several hundred copies sent out. The invitation commit tee consists of W. H. Milner, J. Evans Mays, W. Frank Wallace and Douglas AVikle. The chaperons are Mrs. J. B. Conyers, Mrs. S. J. Ware, Mrs. M, R. Aker man and Mrs. M. F. Word. A well known citizen of Wetbersville, Md., Mr, W. R. Grave writes: —I suffer sometimes with accurate rheumatism and your Salvation Oil gives me instan taneous relief, and I recommend it as a sure cure for this terrible disease. CARTERSVILLE. GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1888. THE BABY’S BODY FOUND. The Lake Gives Up Little Irene’s Body. It Creates Very Little Excitement —Quiet Restored at Birmingham—The Evi dence Closing in on Hawes. A Birmingham, Ala., special of Dec. 15, says: “The body of Irene Hawes, the second daughter of ‘Dick’ Hawes, was found in the lake at Lakeview at 11:20 o’clock this morning by Detective Rob bins. The water had been drained until it was only a foot or two deep. The child vi ore a small slip half covering the body, and a hemp cord fastened two heavy fishplates weighing 30 pounds each to the babe. HOPE HAD BEEN ABANDONED. “The searchers had about made up their minds to give up, when Detective Robbins thought he would make one more attempt. He threw in his line and brought up the hoi rid find. The body was badly decomposed, but was at once identified b,v James Hawes, ‘Dicks’ brother, as that of the dead Irene. The child was found about twenty feet from the place where Airs, Hawes’ body was concealed.” CAUSED NO EXCITEMENT. The find caused no excitement, as the profile had expected for a week that it would be found near where the mother’s body was discovered. When told that the body of his other missing child had been found, Hawes had nothing to say, except to ask in ail in different sort of wav, where it was. He then refused to answer any questions. No trouble is expected tonight, but the guard at the jail has been increased as a matter of extra precaution. No other attempt to lynch Hawes is anticipated. Emerson anti Her Iron Boom—The Birm ingham of Georgia. Dahlonega Signal. Mr. John P. Stegall, of Emerson, Bar tow county Georgia, formerly Stegall's, in company with Mr. F. G. McCandless, mining expert and educated chemist, paid us a visit on Monday last. They are here looking after mineral interests. Emerson is situated on the W. A A. railroad, formerly known as Stegall’s, and in point of the mineral interest is receiving the attention of capitalists from all sections. The place now has a fine forty-eight room hotel which is crowded all the time with guests, who are drawn there by the immense mineral discoveries of all the ores in the vocabulary ot minerals. Red and brown hematite, gray specular, man ganese, graphite, limestone, flexible sand stone, baryta, kaolin clay, yellow ochre, brown umber, and red oxide of iron is found in endless quantities. Already a colony of Swedes from Hart ford, Conn., are engaged in a malleable iron plant. This establishment is work ing one hundred and fifty skilled me chanics. Paint works have been established for the manufacture of paints, which con sumes many tons of ore daily. Anew paper is soon to be started there called the Emerson Graphite, and quite a number of other enterprises too tedious to mention, go to make up this growing town. From all indications now before us, it is bound to be the Birmingham of Georgia. East Cartersville Institute. The spring term of the above institu tion opens January 7th, (Ist Monday) 1889. Prof. I). G. Lee, the popular and suc cessful principal, will be assisted by Miss Ida Lee and Miss Emmie Norris. Miss Lee hss already demonstrated her abil ity, efficiency and popularity as a teacher. Her native tact and long experience emi nently qualify her for the work. Miss Emmie Norris will assist also, and will also make a specialty of book-keep ing, stenography and type writing, hav ing graduated with high honors at Pack ard’s Business College, the leading insti tution in thislinein America. Her diploma sets forth her merits and proficiency in most complimentary terms, and is en dorsed by six prominent professors, who state that she distinguished herself highly in these departments. With a splendid faculty, comfortable building, and a popularity established by former good work, there is certainly a bright future before this institution. I>o You? Do you owe the Courant-American office for advertising or job work? If so, please call and settle at once, as we need the money. A considerable amount is due for legal ad ver tisi n g I>y ad minist rat ors, gu ard ian s etc., which the law requires to be paid in advance, Alsc, much for advertising sheriffs levies. If this is not paid lip by January Ist, the property will be again advertised and sold to pay costs. AVe don’t want to hurt anybody, but we are on the war path until we collect the money due this office. County Commissioner?. The following named gentlemen are suggested as suitable men to serve the county as County Commissioners, and will be earnestly supported by Many Citizens. J. T. Jolley, J. G. Lowry, AAA L. Adams, Jno. P. Lewis, J. C. Milam. Spelling Bee. There will be a spelling bee at the court house Friday evening, the 21st, beginning at 7:30, under the' auspices of the Ladies Aid Society. Classes will be arranged at the time in such way as to make it most interest ing. No private invitations—all invited to spell, but none forced. Splendid vocal and instrumental music, and several new and attractive features will be presented. Everybody go—do good and have a pleasant time SAMPS COHEN TALKS. He Makes it Bark for Charlie Echols— Light Turned on theHorible Mystery. Cohen, who has been unconcious since that fatal night, in the Pitts house, at Covington, has spoken. He declares that. Echols is the guilty man. Cohen says that Echols came to their room at the Pitts house, occupied by him and Thomas, bringing with hitn the murder ous wagon standard, of which so much has been written, and that it caused one of them to laugh and ask “why in h did you bring that thing here,” to which Echols replied that he just thought he would bring it along. They then seated themselves around the card table, and renewed a game of poker. The game had not progressed far belore Echols’ money gave out, and Thomas left the game and retired, remaiking that he would not play his money against Echols’ word, which seemed to anger the latter. Cohen at length followed Thom as, when Echols made Cohen believe that he was goiug to bed with him, but put on his clothes again, remai king that he had to go out, and would be back in a few minutes, As he passed out of the room, Cohen and Thomas were in bed, and both were soon asleep. Cohen was awakened by the blows that killed Thomas and was knocked insensible by the same club in the same man’s hand. He further says that Echol’s lost a good deal ot money, and that when struck he had over S4OO in money, and Thomas had more money than he. His state ment reflects heavily on Echols, and it is thought that he has said more than lias leaked out. One circumstance in his statement is direct conflict to that made by Echols before the coroner’s jury, to wit: What he says about the deadly bludgeon. Echols, it will be remembered, disclaimed all knowledge of it, and Cohen states that it was brought into the room by Echols. A strong circumstance, which would seem to furnish a motive for the deed, is the statement of Cohen that he (Echols) lost a good .deal of money. KINGSION. Our entire community were greatly grieved at the aunouncementthat Mr. F. 11. Harris, civil engineer for the C. R. & C. railroad, was dead.
